Reflections...&...everything crossed
It's been a couple of days since I posted. Wasn't in a real good frame of mind yesterday - remembering flirtation with a totally unsuitable man this time last year. Stupidly enough I kept it going for far too long. Anyway, wised up and became blissfully single again. I have no tolerance, I'm sure!
Came home from a little sojourn to the shops, and talked to one who gives love unconditionally:
I mean, who could resist this person? Most unladylike with the back legs splayed thus...but comical nevertheless.
Quite a philosophical feline, methinks....
The shopping expedition netted me some rather nice old fashioned frames, which I was determined to fill with copies of precious, old family photos...one of them is from the 1880s...aim is to find more out about that one. You can pick the ones from the Great War.....anyway, my little Victorian Parlour is coming along nicely, with those atop my great grandmother's piano...
Before it got too hot I decided to go & rescue some buds from my garden....something is still eating it, bother!
So by now you might be wondering (well those who follow my blog, anyway!) what the "everything crossed" refers to. Tomorrow, a week late, I'm off to my fifth of six chemo sessions for my breast cancer, having been put off last week because my white cells were too low. Hoping and praying with everything I have that they'll be able to give it to me tomorrow successfully, even if it is poison, ahaha!
I thought of you the other day when I posted about "Cleaning for a Reason" (mentioned you in that post, too). I pray tomorrow's undertakings go according to plan, and without incident.
ReplyDeleteThe cat photos are darling. No doubt she's a far better companion than that "totally unsuitable man"? :)
Blessings,
Kathleen
Thank you for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteYour Victorian parlour looks pretty impressive. I hope that by now you have had the chemo.
Yes indeed, I was able to have the chemo. Back to blogging when i feel better. Thanks for your kind words.
ReplyDeleteMy friend just finished the 6th of 6 chemo treatments. Now on to radio therapy. She is SO positive - even though this is the 2nd time round for her. An inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI am trawling through family history when I can muster the strength. That is when I find myself buried in ancestry.co.uk at 3am! All so fascinating. I love your family photos! Excellent idea to group them like you have. I have an idea of doing photos as far back as I can of everyone aged round 2 and displaying them on a wall somewhere. Just small ones from great great grandparents up to Missy who will be 2 next week. Sigh. Plans - I am full of plans! Now to actually get on with them!
Hi Linds thanks for your kind comments - I go on ancestry too. All the photos though are from my family that I have inherited - haven't found any on ancestry yet - thought I have got back to 1780 - trying to find some more of my great great aunt. And the family home my great grandmother lived in in Eastnor, Ledbury (not the castle!) still stands. Have visited twice...
ReplyDeleteGreat frames & photos for your piano. I love that red bloom - so pretty... as is your feline friend...Thanks for sharing. Godspeed with your health and here is hoping you triumph over the cancer and chemo, both. All the best.
