Today’s News

Went walking down to the village this morning. It was raining, but only a little, and surprisingly warm. I got some milk and a paper, got B’s pills from the surgery, bought an electricity token, started back. I was going slowly, as usual, but getting hotter and hotter. I unzipped both my jackets; after a couple of minutes, I looked down and saw a large white stain across the front of my shirt – probably from last night’s milky cereal snack. So up went the zip, for the rest of the walk. And damm the sweat.
Before going out, I’d spent a good five minutes in front of the mirror despairingly unteasing the knots from my hair. Why hadn’t I noticed the stain then? There’s a limit to being casual about what you wear; clearly, I’m turning into one of those mad old women who walk around with skew-wiff hair and last Thursday’s tomato soup all down the front of her dress.
But – something to cheer me up – my website is now live! Yes, folks, you can go to www.valdobson.co.uk and gaze upon – well, my “site under construction” holding page that’s there at the moment.
I’ll start uploading the new blogging software today and try it out. When I’ve got it working, I’ll back up all these blog files and move them over. By-by Oakleaf Circle…..
