Lots of people talk about how wonderful the dawn chorus is, but you don't hear so often about the dusk chorus.  This is another of those moments of perfect tranquility, standing outside the back door and hearing the blackbirds singing as the light fades. 

Here are some of the flowers in my garden at the moment.  My garden is, really, a continuous blessing, but it is enhanced by the blessing that is the lady who comes to help.

This link No regrets is to a song by The Walker Brothers, Scott Walker being one of my great crushes for more years than I care to remember. The lyrics are totally irrelevant to what I am about to say, except for the title but it gives me the opportunity to share this wonderful voice with you.
So, talking to a few people over the last few days has made me realise that I really do have no regrets about where I am now.  There may be a few in the past but then if those things had worked out the way I wanted I might not be where I am now, so they aren't regrets really.  Crumbs, what a blessing that is.

I live my life by fortnights rather than weeks. Yesterday was the start of a new round and it got off to a very good start.

It's a great feeling when you do battle with a new bit of technology and win.

Lots of little things can be blessings - well, to be frank, they are going to have to be if I am going to find 365 different things to talk about!  The little things that just lift your spirits for a few moments.  I went up the road to post a letter yesterday morning and there is a hedge of Photinia Red Robin which now has all that lovely new red growth on it.  Spring is coming!

Today is our 22nd Wedding Anniversary.  My husband has been a great blessing to me.  He has made me a much nicer person than I was, in fact, when I look back I wonder why he took me on!  He is so kind and considerate and supportive.  He can't help with practical tasks much now and says he's no use but he is such a huge emotional rock for me and that should not be counted lightly.  I could go on but I'll be making you all feel queasy LOL.  Although I will just mention that he also thinks I am a good driver! He doesn't like me posting his picture so the silhouette will have to do
