Hey @TAB 

Moving into a new home is surreal and exciting and then reality hits.

It really does not matter where you live Tab. We can feel lonely when we are surrounded by a house full of people. I do not enjoy Christmas at all because I am with extended family who are not interesting just self centred blah blah.  I feel so lonely.  Husband happy as he sits there and smiles not having to engage in too much conversation as they all talk over each other and don't listen. Fortunately there are some little ones and I just spend my time playing and chatting with them.

Give it time.  Still early days.

Can you treat yourself to something special for the day that is not about sharing with others?

How is your cooking coming along?

[TAB]

yes, I'll be alright, thanks @Sophia1  just a big neg atm.

cooking is fine. limited but fine. always was. just cant get takeaways or food delivery here which is a drag .. 

I just need to get a routine. 

I put a couple blinds up the other day, which seem to help with sunlight.

had a decent walk day before yest, so prob due tomorrow. 

have forgotten pile of guitars I accumulated since coming here.

have a pool (for me to lie in when desperately hot) sitting in box, also 2x4 metre shadecloth, same, plus a flash blind and exercise bike still coming . I had gone mad with purchasing therapy, but all stuff that is needed.

yes, sounds grim re xmas, bit like mine where I guess .

@TAB 

the pool will help you fell far cooler if you take it out of the box 😎

shade cloth better covering something rather than being covered.

Am I helping?

You will get through Christmas you will be busy putting together all of your get fit and stay cool gear.

Cooking away

It is just another day

Ciao

[TAB]

[Sophia1]

Hello Tab,

re my trip to Italy.

I went earlier this this when went to Europe.

I love the country but not the heat.

Enjoy each moment that you do something in your new home.

Every single thing is an achievement.

@tonys 

Hi, just wondering how your recuperation is going?

You know when I was a kid I wanted to be an author. Back then I used to write my own comics. I would write them down and my Sister typed them up. One day I showed my school principal my comic and he didn’t believe that I had made it up myself so I stopped writing. Over the years I have mentioned my desire to write to my husband but he is not very encouraging! I think if I do write a book it would be next to impossible to get published. I don’t know if it matters. What do you think? Should I try? We are talking a year or more of writing a story! 

Miss you my friend,

Meggle
