Tuesday 6th January - Zzzz

 The Zzzz is me now, at half past seven. 

I was joking when I said to my brother that whenever I made a big decision, signed an important document, or paid an ENORMOUS bill I need to lie down in a darkened room for a couple of hours. 

But I have been doing admin, and chatting to my brother about the sale of my father's flat as well as catching up on family news, and getting the grocery order in, and then, this evening, zooming with some cousins - more chatting, more news to share, and I've suddenly run out of steam...

Here's a very rough picture of the amaryllis to be going on with.


It's from one of the notebook swaps, now hurriedly added to and packed up for posting tomorrow. 



I used to fall asleep to Cantabile singing from this album or 'Lullabies and Goodbyes' for years.

  1. The amaryllis looks wonderful.
    Sometimes all those things just take mental energy and that can zap you as much as physical exertion! Hope you get a good nights sleep

    1. You're right about the mental energy load... I got a good night's rest, if not a good night's sleep. ๐Ÿ˜ด

  2. An early night to reset the balance is good. I love your amaryllis drawings, by the way. Mine is coming along, but I'll have to photograph it maybe . . .

    1. I have decided that I should have amaryllis bulbs on the go through winter because they are such cheerful flowers.

    1. I'm glad you enjoyed the singing. We have another amaryllis which has just begun to grow; something to look forward to.
