While I'm Awake

I was going to post yesterday, but I fell asleep. I'm about to fall asleep again, so I'm dashing in while I can.

I managed to leave the house yesterday and when I called into Aldi, they still had the duvet cover that I wanted so I picked that up.


I'm a sucker for blue and white, especially this shade of blue. Yes, it is for a king sized duvet. Yes, I have a single bed. Yes, I have issues. It was a wonderfully inexpensive £14.99 and I'm happy. I'll keep an eye out for when they have duvets on sale next.

Bear called and he has a cough. I know that it's just a little thing, and he's really doing fine, but I worry. If anyone has any tips on dealing with the worry, I'd be grateful. Bear is far more sensible than I have ever been, and I know that he'll be okay. It's just that he's so far away. 

As I have mentioned, the house next door but one was empty. Yesterday, on my way out, I saw signs of habitation with lights on behind closed curtains. I haven't seen any actual occupants yet, but DH spotted a couple of police officers knocking on the door this evening, so I'm keeping a curious eye out. 

Writing stuff - and why I should have posted yesterday. I re-posted an article about research - Location and the Lost City. I really need to re-read The Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle and Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Though Tarzan is absolutely not correct on... evolution, women, class systems, the French... Perhaps I should look at other stuff. Tomorrow I take down all of the White Hart stuff and for a last look you can find it here, here, here, and here

Hugs and good health to all.

  1. Glad that you were able to get out! Each day you do it, that's a win.
    It is really worrying when they are away from home and in Uni. I don't think there's anything that will stop you worrying completely. I feel that, for about eight years (I had three children and they had two years between each of them) my stomach was constantly in a knot. I tried to tell myself that I had given them tools and I had to trust them to do the right thing. You've given Bear a wonderful start and he always sounds as though he's got his head on right, you just have to trust that he'll do what he knows is right. Sending hugs. It isn't easy. I still worry and mine are all now in their thirties!

    1. Thank you. It's good to know that I'm not alone. And I have faith in bear - he's far more sensible than I've ever been.

  3. The duvet cover is lovely! I like the color combination of blue and white. Sounds like you'll have to get a bigger bed to display your new duvet cover. :) Hope bear recovers from his cough quickly.

    1. I love blue and white. I'll be keeping the small bed. There's something about having a covering heaped about me that brings comfort to my soul.

    1. I have a thing for blue and white. I'd have the whole place like that if I lived alone.
