Good Lord! Only 29 September and already we have to turn the heat on tonight! Poor Margaret will have to go upstairs before we do to make sure nothing more is blocking the heaters first. She had to bring an extra blanket downstairs with her last night, and I have a feeling she'll have to bring down... Sign in to see full entry.

Oh, Dear God... I've heard voices again. Only this time, they do not come from Leni or Vyktor or Dmitri. The visions I've just had do not come from Poland or Russia or Ukraine... They come this time from London. From a time long ago, a time that came back to me when I visited a particular area of... Sign in to see full entry.

Dear ones... Please continue to pray for our friend Amanda and her family as they go through this difficult time with her Grandmother. They have been unable to reach her aunt, so there is no word on her condition. She has asked me to send you all her love and she thanks you all for your thoughts and... Sign in to see full entry.

I've got a case of the blahs today. I don't know why...I shouldn't have them. It's such a beautiful day outside! And it's warm, too. The leaves on those little trees of mine are as purple as ever...so beautiful you can't help but smile at them. So what's wrong with me today? Sign in to see full entry.

Today is Juliet's birthday! I hope she had fun celebrating and I hope she got all she could wish for and so much more. My only sadness is that I can't be in London to celebrate with her. I can honestly say Juliet is one of the kindest people I've ever known and one of the best friends I've ever had.... Sign in to see full entry.

For the past couple of days, I've had the most incredible urge to bake something! More specifically, something with apples or ginger in it! Yes, it's that time of year for me again. I'll confess to y'all that I don't cook very often. Nor am I very good at it. I'm not horrible...I've not set the flat... Sign in to see full entry.

Good grief! I can't believe how quickly the time has flown by! One more week, and another September will have come and gone! That means I'm down to the wire...It's decision time! I just received the cable bill in my email box. Why couldn't they have sent it to me LAST week?? Not that it would have... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy, happy first day of Fall, everyone! Can y'all believe it's the very first day of the the Fall equinox? I can't! Where did the summer go so quickly? Sigh. Only the first day of the new season, and it's bone chilling already! I've changed the laptop's wallpaper and screensaver accordingly. Our... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy Friday everyone... I have to confess, I'm not feeling overly happy at the moment. I'm not angry, I'm literally in agony. My leg hurts so badly I almost can't breathe! I almost want to cry, but I can't. First of all, the tears just won't come. Secondly, the effort it takes me just to cry would... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm soooo sleepy! It's cold here and my joints are starting to ache and stiffen. So, it's off to la la land for me! Goodnight, dear ones... Sign in to see full entry.

Wow, it has been a LONG day for me! I'm not even sure what made it so long, just know it was! I'm really looking forward to going to bed tonight. Sigh. I'm just so tired lately. Mum came by for coffee and we had a nice time. She's still clueless as to why I keep asking her which coffees she likes... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... I'll be back in a bit to write more and hopefully read some of you, too. Mum's coming round for coffee in about an hour and I have an email and a card to write, so at the moment I'm a bit busy. I hope you're all having a great Thursday! Sign in to see full entry.

Well, I've answered both Volodya's and Kamilla's emails. Kamilla sent me her new mailing address for Belgium, thank goodness. Her bithday is in November, and I want to make sure I can send her a card. Speaking of bithdays and letters to be written, Juliet's birthday is on Monday, so I need to hurry...

My niece Sarah(Jim's daughter) has started on a wonderful new journey in her life. Today was her very first day at the University! I spoke with her on Monday via facebook, and she told me she was very excited, but also very nervous about being surrounded by people she doesn't know. I told just what... Sign in to see full entry.

The wind has picked up gradually here, and it's still raining. I wanted to write and post the beginning of one of the new short stories I mentioned a couple of days ago, but I just don't have it in me tonight. I've had this nagging feeling in my gut for the past three days and my dreams of late... Sign in to see full entry.

Our wicked weather has begun! The winds still moan and howl and whistle...and rains finally sog and soak the earth! Grant you, we've needed rain badly for weeks now, but why this?
