Darn it.

I wash everything by hand.I just spent ten minutes scrubbing away at a stain on my blue bottom sheet then remembered it was a very neat darn I did after the sheet tore as it was hanging on the line when it got caught on the rose tree.

Even though I'm watching the Olympics 24/7,I still have time to make catlols

So,this is my situation.

I am watching the 3 Day Event dressage on my laptop which is plugged into the internet.

It needs charging so it's plugged into the power cable.

I have headphones on because BF is watching the cycling on TV,

I have a crampy tummy so have an electric hot pad on it,plugged into the wall socket.

I nave two pads from my TENS machine on my shoulders and two on my lower back.

QUESTION;- is there anywhere else I could attach a wire?

I'm been driven demented the past few days.

It's been hot and I've been bitten all over by mosquitoes. A friend has been having a melt down which has not been easy to watch or deal with.The doctor's have messed up the scripts yet again.I feel exhausted and ill and achy all over.I need a holiday and the chances of getting one are zero.

For all of you complaining about the weather.

Weather

Once I dipt into the future far as human eye could see,
And I saw the Chief Forecaster, dead as any one can be--
Dead and damned and shut in Hades as a liar from his birth,
With a record of unreason seldome paralleled on earth.
While I looked he reared him solemnly, that incandescent youth,
From the coals that he'd preferred to the advantages of truth.
He cast his eyes about him and above him; then he wrote
On a slab of thin asbestos what I venture here to quote--
For I read it in the rose-light of the everlasting glow:
'Cloudy; variable winds, with local showers; cooler; snow.'

Poem for July

I always think of roses in July

My Heart Is In July

shifting away from June's bud
to leave dandelions scattered in the yard
this dawn of July
marks the end of a lie
a lie from past season
for a strong reason

in July
robin will make herself shy
and cover her reddish breast
with her celestial hued crest
then flap her wings to fly
close against the sky

i want to kiss July
and make July
lasting forever
in beauty but not ephemeral

i will preserve July
on my canvas and with magic brush
so that she will be enthralled and blush

i will paint July
with charming colour
so that she will be captured in delight
and her soul enraptured

because my heart is in July.
