Hello friends and followers. Yes, it’s been a long time since I have posted anything new. Some days I find myself wanting to write. A thousand words are stored in my mind and they are brimming from my heart. Unfortunately, chronic fatigue has other plans.

I realise my views and likes have dropped significantly but I really appreciated those who continue to read, like and even comment on my re-published poems and articles. It’s actually been more than a year since I have felt well enough to step back into writing anything worth publishing. My garden continues to be my healing place and baking has crept into my new weekly routine, especially bread making. Being wheat and gluten free can be a bore but I’m beginning to master a balance of taste and texture that even Norm will eat. 🙂

Recently we invited friends over for Sunday lunch. I was very tired by the time they left just 2 hours later but it felt good to have friends visit again. We will do it again soon, but not for a few weeks.

We have also just redecorated the spare bedroom. Norm and I both contributed to ideas and shopped together for final additions. However, we hired a painter and carpet layers. We’re both past D.Y.I. improvements. It’s now a room where either of us can have some quiet time to read or take a nap away from the noisier and warmer part of the house during the long hot summer which is sneaking up on us fast.

I have bad days and good days but I’m doing OK. I hope to post something new soon.

Chrissy
