Welcome to the hermitage

The last few days have been unusually quiet in gemmaks-ville and it's been a little odd, though not unpleasant.

There are some who would tell me I should 'get out more' and perhaps they are right, though to be honest I see no real reason to take their advice. Years ago I hated my own company but for reasons I won't bore you with I had to learn to like it and these days I can spend unending time alone if need be, quite happily.

It is thus that after my bad week at work and having had my head mangled, and by virtue of PG currently working night shifts, I have spent better part of the last 80 hours completely alone, save of course for feline company and one foray out to get the brakes on my car fixed yet again. Please don't ask if this fix has been successful....I don't yet know, only time and a 6am trip into work tomorrow will tell!

I haven't of course been completely alone, PG has been here in body though not in mind during the day while he sleeps, myself and the cats have been under strict orders to be quiet....easier said than done in a one bedroom flat! I think though we only managed to wake him once so we didn't do badly.

And so how did I spend this time....no prizes for guessing that probably 15 hours a day I had my rear end parked right where it is now! What is it about computers that make a whole day just disappear in a virtual flash? I did read a little, I watched a small amount of tv and of course did the 'woman's work' but aside from that nothing.....I think I could quite happily be a hermit!

All is reasonably well with the world today. (save for the one cloud on the horizon, work tomorrow) The sun is shining, the birds and lambs are chattering happily, 'old puss' and 'small cat' are sunbathing, old puss as ever on the shingle, PG is on the golf course, yes he can go 24 hours without sleep though Lord knows how, and is soon to arrive home bringing with him another new cell phone for yours truly that he has 'acquired'. No I promise, nothing nefarious, the tale of acquisition is just too long winded and boring to impart! Yayyyyy, another new gadget to investigate!

So until later, when maybe I will have actually done something to report I will leave you with last nights dusk.

Ahem, two cats! They may treat you as if you're not there sometimes but you're never alone...demands could be made on you at any time!
