Back

Sorry for not posting for the past month or so. I was very busy coming up to Christmas and New Year. Happy New Year to everyone!!!!
It was a very different Christmas and New Year for me. I was very happy. One measure of how happy I was is the fact that when the reason for my happiness was no longer with me, I felt so empty. The proximity of one human being determines, more than anything else, how I feel. The problem is that we are mostly over 2,500kms from each other, and in the words of a good friend of mine, it sucks. But, short of winning the lottery, I can't see how we can get get closer.
It is very cold here tonight, down to -6 degrees. After years of mild winters it looks like we are finally getting a "normal" one. Over the weekend I saw a flock of about a dozen blackbirds feeding on the slowly rotting windfall apples in the small orchard at the rear of my parents house. It was interesting to see a trush in among them. It bullied his/her way around the blackbirds. A robin flew into the house and I had to open the front door to encourage it to fly out.
Anyway back to my normal life . My heart is in the care of someone 2,500kms away, but I know we will be together again. Good night evryone and stay safe.
