Hey Folks, I do wonder if I am supposed to stop writing this because I completely forgot to do it last week. BUT, I did have a couple of you who touched base wIth me to check I was okay and so I will keep going for now. Perhaps I will have to go back to writing a few lines daily, to keep my memory in check?
So, the last two weeks have seen me make friends with the lady who is selling the apartment/store that I have had my eye on. She is wonderful, full of enthusiasm for pretty much anything and shares a lot of the same beliefs as I do. I wish that I could say that I was buying her place but that has yet to be decided. I took the girls to see it and they were unimpressed by both the area North of it and the property itself. I think they just want a house, not a store-front, for their new home. They are sad enough to be selling their childhood home and I think they may prefer not to have me work from home like in Edinburgh. But, I am not despondent and know that if it's meant for me, I shall have it.
If Bill could see it, it would be easier.
If nothing else comes of it, I have made a friend and have also introduced her to my friend Krys who is now going to drive her around Hamilton, to let her see areas where she may buy. I know they'll become friends as they are both very artsy.
Vera and Goran are definitely moving in here and so I better get a moving-van ordered :-) hopefully I will have somewhere organised for us to go straight into when we get back in August or we will be 'hotelling' it again.
I haven't really gone out of my way to see other properties because I am thinking that perhaps Bill needs to be here to co-decide. It's a big commitment that he trusts me with so we shall see.
Wow with the UK Election whch I sat up and watched till all the Scottish seats were in. David Cameron may still be Prime Minister but I am thinking that he may soon be wishing that he is not.
Our weather is hot and humid but we are having lots of thunderstorms which is making my grass grow annoyingly fast. And how do dandelions keep appearing after I think I got them all? I just pulled hundreds more this morning before posting this. Perhaps a condo may not be such a bad idea after all-tee hee. I am not grumbling about the humidity.....yet.
As the weeks till we are in Edinburgh decrease in number, I find myself trying to be motivated to get all my summer-teaching organised. The weekend Bach Level 1 will now take place at Abbemount so that there is wheelchair access. This will allow for a few more students to join us so, if you know anyone who'd like to have a lovely Bach weekend, please let me know. Also, there are still spaces for the workshop on Aug 15th at Gillis. It will be a day for thinking about how you can be your Authentic self and will include lots of different Mindful tools that you can use, including mindfulness meditation of course.
Okay-sales pitch over.
It looks like it's going to pour again here-ah well, it's only rain.
The girls are both doing grand. Alison keeps herself busy and is out and about with friends regularly. Jen is going to be a very brown berry from lying out on the deck. Andrew thought she had fake tan when he saw her yesterday after not seeing her for three weeks. He was looking all fit and tanned from his rugby and tennis playing and was in good form. He got drenched on the way home due to the thunderstorms but at least it was warm.
Canadas Wonderland is now open and the girls are keen to go. We will likely get season passes due to the fact that two single visits cost more. They have some great rollercoasters and there is also a water park so I think the girls may spend a few Saturdays out there and lots of time when they get back from Scotland. Will I do rollercoasters? Oooh I think I might :-)
The thing with doing a weekly blog is that I can't remember the stuff I was going to tell you.
One thing tho' was that I was not very mindful this past Mothers Day Sunday. I had gone down to walk with JR (not Ewing but the lady who owns the shop) it's the second Sunday that I have headed out at 7.20 to walk down to meet her to then go for a 5km walk. The area south of her place is beautiful and she's only 5 mins from the Lake which is beautiful. Anyhoo, I came home just as the girls were heading out and I thought that they may come back with a wee latte for me but no. And No Happy Mothers Day greetings either. So, I was a wee bit in my head about why they couldn't at least wish me a Happy Mothers Day. Jen was going with us to Drama and they went out the door first and were in front of me all the way to the subway. Giggling together on the platform, I asked them if I was the object of the giggling and they said yes. Turns out that they had bought me two planters for either side of the front door and I had walked right past them. They had planned to shout 'Surprise and Happy mothers Day' when I noticed them. OOPS. The planters are beautiful and I love them.
In my defense, I am always stuffing my keys into my handbag as I go down the front steps-honest.
Well, I have nothing else that's sitting in the forefront of my mind to tell you. To be honest, my brain is a bit fuzzy due either to my hayfever or the anti-hystamines I am taking for the hayfever. I haven't been this bad in years but we have a tree outside that's been dropping very visible pollen and I think it's the culprit. Very interestingly, Alisons hayfever isn't nearly as bad as usual. We must react to different pollens. Hopefully it will pass soon because I never press the snooze button on my alarm and I have done so for two mornings in a row. That better stop. I was enjoying getting up at 6am and having my meditation done before waking Alison. Ah well. It is what it is.....until it isn't.
Much love to all,
Lxxxx
