WEDNESDAY WAFFLING

Happy Wednesday............I am exhausted after shopping with Kerry.  My feet ache and I feel as if I could go to bed and sleep for a few hours.  But it would be fatal because I wouldn`t sleep tonight if I did.  So I`ll stay on here and hopefully I`ll be more awake later on.  I`m a bit miffed because while out shopping I bought a new quilt cover set.  When I got home and opened it it had only one pillowcase, which is ok if you have a single bed but this one is for a king-size.  So I have to take it back tomorrow morning, I rang the shop and  asked them to put another one by for me so with luck it will have two it that one.  I also had to pick up my prescription from the doctor`s surgery today, but when I arrived there was a sign saying the surgery was closed and would be all day.  So after town tomorrow I have to make another journey just for the prescription, which I need before the weekend.....grrrr!

Kerry has some friends coming over from Russia and Canada today.  They are dancers she knew from her singing days on the ships. One of the girls is married to a Canadian and the other to a Greek, so it will be like a meeting of the United Nations when they all go out for dinner tonight if Kerry can stay awake long enough. The only problem she has had throughout her pregnancy is extreme tiredness and today after going in nearly every shop in the High Street I`m be surprised if she makes it through dinner!

 

`HOPE`is the THING WITH FEATHERS

Hope is the thing with feathers -

That perches in the soul -

And sings the tune without the words -

And never stops - at all -

 

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -

And sore must be the storm -

That could abash the little Bird

That kept so many warm -

 

I`ve heard it in the chillest land -

And on the strangest Sea -

Yet, never, in Extremity,

It asked a crumb - of Me.

Emily Dickinson
