There are small spots of beauty in my overgrown "jungle" of a garden. And there are weeds everywhere. Let us keep our eyes open to those small moments of beauty, quiet and peace, each in our own "jungle of a life"!

Rexroth Check Out

Rexroth - 16 Jul 2011 - 3:42am

Done:
Some of above and friend came round and asked to help looking for something I had lost and turned the place upsidedown and left me with a heck of a mess which I have not yet sorted out. He did warn me and I should have and maybe should have said stop but I didn't so it is my responsibility. Finally we did not find what we were looking for which I expect will now turn up.
I've got all my expedition kit out and done a final short todo list which I can post tomorrow as I am now tired out.

Todo:
Prayer and reflection
Bed and sleep

Gorgeous picture - I do love fuschias.

I've got an office morning, though started late as my husband was unwell.  office mornings are always a problem for me as they are so unstructured.  The chatbox was very helfpul yesterday, so I'l probably spend much of the morning in there too.

  • AH forms
  • prepare reports for Wednesday meeting
  • check typing
  • read panel papers for Tuesday
