I’m on holiday until Wednesday because of the Queen’s jubilee. Sixty years on the throne is quite an achievement. Though I’m not a royalist I wouldn’t say I was against them either. At times I would even say I was for them especially Princess Anne as she supports the Scottish rugby side. As you can tell from that statement I do love watching my national side and it is great for us to have a royal sponsor. Regardless of how I feel toward the royals it does mean I have five days off, which is great.
Mind my daughter Tammy has already decided that we need a family day out, though I’m not sure if Calum wants to go. Where are we going for the day out depends on the weather of course. It looks like it is to be good so that will mean the beach but if it isn’t then it will be off to Glasgow. As you can guess I’m routing for the beach, after all it is less expensive as Glasgow will be shopping. With the holiday weekend the city will also be crowded which isn’t a pleasant thought fighting through the crowds while trying to hold onto those precious pennies. Of course it will still cost me at the beach as the slot machines will be calling after spending time on the sand, hehehe.
On Sunday I’ll need to get the grass cut as well as the hedges seen to. With the rain this week after all the great week or two has caused it to shoot up. At the same time it has also aided my plants. My strawberries are now in full bloom with some fruit beginning to form. Unfortunately my coriander has suffered from a bird attack. I’ve put more seed into the tub but it will be a couple of weeks I suspect before I see if they will come to anything as they were gathered from last years plants.
Thanks to the Queen I will still have a couple of days left for some gaming and to spend a little time working on some of my poems. Over the past two weeks I have worked on one which I’m still just not happy with but do think I might have the answer for it now. I also have been haunted by one rather disturbing on which I finally put to paper so to speak yesterday. It will also need editing to get it out of my head and allow me some peace of mind. Strange how some poems or stories do that to you. You can’t ignore them as they have a tendency to force themselves into the front of your mind strangling all other thoughts. In the end it is better to get them exorcised so you are free of them.
