So happy to feel fell again. I hope your cold is short lived. The picture of your cat is so sweet. It's exciting to hear that Pippin is coming home soon!Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15744965298240817861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515007843975800463.post-80416483792820683522021-11-21T09:46:07.763+00:002021-11-21T09:46:07.763+00:00It's never too late to change direction, and t...It's never too late to change direction, and to be honest, I think that life is too short not to even consider it even if you later decide that you're happier where you are. If you're worried about your pension conditions being altered then it might be worth looking into what the options are as sometimes you can take money early to make sure it's in your pocket and not someone else's depending on the pension provider. You'll be glad to have Pippin home and I bet she'll be glad to be back too. Lovely, lovely leaves, they've been a long time coming but they look glorious now, don't they? xxWinwick Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10175666787916920144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515007843975800463.post-83617856845791457722021-11-21T01:47:02.276+00:002021-11-21T01:47:02.276+00:00Why is your pension diminishing?

Looking forward to seeing all your new sewing. Enjoy the weekend.

The orchids are beautiful the scent of chocolate could be maddening and require a bit of tasting the real thing. Do you manage to refrain yourself? I know that Pippin will be as happy to be home as you will be, most likely more so. I am not familiar with Lemsip but the name itself sounds rather unpleasant. Cooking is always a chore, but then when the meal turns out well it suddenly wasn't so bad. Thank goodness for soup season now because there are so many varieties and my slow cooker will get a workout, minestrone for the weekend with some crusty homemade bread. You lentil soup sounds like a good one, and it's also on my to-do list. Are you serious about a career change? Beatrice P.

A new career sounds like an excellent adventure. I am going to be a fiction writer one day. Have started on it already :) A friend has started a no-plastic packaging organic food shop, it's brilliant. Nice job on the orchids, they are amazing. My jewel orchid has a flower bud, although it is mostly grown for the foliage. I have a calendar in my kitchen with handy built-in to-do lists for each month. Plan your family service projects for the holidays! Check your Christmas lights are ready to go! Unblock your guttering! I ignore it completely. Hope you have a lovely weekend.

I usually find Lempsip tastes far nicer with the addition of some brandy - perhaps not in the middle of the day, however :)<br />Your photographs are stunning. It is a glorious time of year, even more so when the sun is shining. <br />I am so happy Pippin is finally coming home, you must be relieved.
