As regular visitors to this page will know, I simply chronicle our everyday lives; whether they be good, bad, or occasionally 'tedious' (as yesterday).
We choose to live a quiet life, otherwise we would be bored stupid. I'm pleased to say that this is only very rarely interrupted.
I suppose I'm rather predictable in Winter. I often wander aimlessly trying to keep myself busy, I shout at the Television, and I dream of leaving my little patch better than when I found it. Nothing exceptional in all that; there's not much else to do!
There are plenty of Winter days when hardly anything happens. OK, I chop mountains of wood, I light fires, I cook a couple of 'gourmet' meals, but that is every day ordinary stuff; it's far more interesting to write about days which involve something unusual or exceptional.
It has to be said that on days when absolutely NOTHING happens, it's almost a godsend to have unruly neighbours; but having been reprimanded, even they don't misbehave that often any more.
So, please allow me once in a while to write about the absence of an eventful life; as it was yesterday.
I know I must try harder, and will attempt to do so tomorrow.
Even your "uneventful" days seemed packed with goodness to me. ❤
ReplyDeleteBoringly busy. The cold makes me lethargic.
DeleteIt is quite nice to have an uneventful day. I would love to have more of them.
ReplyDeleteThe photo was quiet and lovely.
cheers, parsnip
Being a Saturday, there were still a few distant shots to be heard, but otherwise very quiet.
DeleteI am thankful for uneventful days. Those are the days I get most done just pottering about. A little sunshine does help a lot I must admit. Mist and frost might just confine me to a chair with a good book or some knitting.
ReplyDeleteThe days are getting longer...slowly. have a good Sunday
I must admit to having planned a few things to do today, but managed to put them off yesterday.
DeleteThere are always blogs to keep one amused. Never a dull moment over at my comments. Did you see that Elaine told me she is giving up her blog?
ReplyDeleteYes. Her photographs were always superb. Maybe that's what she'll concentrate on from now-on. Pity!
DeleteSometimes uneventful is good. That, in itself, can make a day special.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photograph. X
The day did fly by; I suppose that's a good sign.
DeleteWinters in France are incredibly quiet, everyone seems to hibernate.
ReplyDeleteAt my people's lovely home in Sussex there was a knocker on the master bedroom door. The previous owner hibernated, and the knocker was for his maid to bring him everything he needed! Very wise man!
DeleteLovely cool photo - 30 degrees here again today. Still managed to get a lot done tough.
ReplyDeleteCan we swap? I'd prefer your weather to ours!
DeleteDo you not indulge your artistic talents these days?
ReplyDeleteOnly occasionally. I've almost retired!
DeleteBut you really have posted such a beautiful photograph. That's enough.
ReplyDeleteI must admit, it was very beautiful, which is why I took my photo.
DeleteA beautiful picture which means you were walking out there with Bok and admiring nature. Carpe diem.
ReplyDeleteGreetings Maria x
It was taken when I took him for his early morning walk.
DeleteYou need these uneventful days to make the exciting days a bit different. I'm quite happy with my uneventful days, like Local Alien I am quite happy pottering about and feel quite annoyed sometimes if my pottering is interrupted by 'excitement'!
ReplyDeleteThey don't come round too often, so maybe I should just enjoy.
DeleteSounds similar to most over 60's lives ..... I guess life can't be exciting everyday !!!! We are having that awful misty rain type weather at the moment which doesn't inspire !! Still, in just a few weeks, Spring will have sprung, new green shoots will be appearing and you can start digging Cro !!!! XXXX
ReplyDeleteI can't wait.... I'm already thinking of seed-buying.
DeleteNo drawing and painting?
ReplyDeleteFrom time to time, but it's no longer a priority.
DeleteThe tranquility you describe seems very close to paradise. Even though I live in a city that can be very hectic, over the years I've found way to resist many of those exciting temptations. It's good to know they are available, but not mandatory.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes.
When I lived in central London, I always found somewhere to be quiet too. It was surprisingly simple.
DeleteThere is always SOMETHING to write about!
ReplyDeleteI had difficulty yesterday.
DeleteLots to do here, but nothing exceptional to write about!
ReplyDeleteYes, the tedious tasks are always there, the dog needs exercise, and we have to eat. Otherwise....
DeleteOften, I don't take time to appreciate the ordinary, the routine which in itself can be quite beautiful. Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteI thrive on routine; I can never understand people who don't!
DeleteAs you tell it, it sounds perfect and you are content. No apologies required!
