My first glimpse

They say you should be careful what you say out loud, for Fate is listening, and she is very fond of playing games.

Say how happy/well/good things are going and you can kiss goodbye to all of it!

I really enjoyed my day by the sea yesterday, but somehow, everything that came before, the progress and all that wonderful enthusiasm seems to have vanished in a puff of smoke, and I’m back to square one.

  5. Can’t beat the sea for that ‘tonic’. 😊

    1. No, you really can’t… I wish I lived nearer, as I would love to be able to walk there whenever I need to…

      1. We can’t walk it, but the drive is not to long – 30 mins.

        1. That’s our journey too, too far to walk…
