Deer Watch

The garden is empty of deer thanks to Deer Patrol. Our four-legged friend sees to that with regular forays into the garden during the course of the evening. Oh yes – and much raising of hackles and barking. A fearsome sight.

Birthdays

I am considering having a “post-post-birthday-month”

It is needed as an antidote to bureacratic wranglings I am trying to sort out. (Don’t ask it is both too complicated and too boring.)

Sunshine in my life

Am back from chasing the sun – not abroad, but in the east of the country. Come to think of it, some of the weird and wonderful places visited in the motorhome could be classed as abroad, or even in another century. Nonetheless, in the course of the travelling around a friend commented on my recent blog postings. “Too much about death and dying” was the comment. So now I have to redress the balance.

The new mid-life

When I was young – always ten years younger than I am – I thought that old age was twenty years older. Now that I am a supposedly “young-old” person I am still learning the lessons of mid-life. That is why I quote this from Jung.

From the middle of life onward,
only he remains vitally alive
who is ready to die with life.

I think it means live for today and yet accept that death is where we are all destined. And I believe more and more that the good in each of us lives on.

Election Fever

Election fever has come to Argyll. But what I want to know, is how do certain parties latch onto prospective voters? I am a target but Him Behind the Wheel is not. I am not going to divulge the party – sufficient to say that I have a certain grudging admiration for their efforts.
