Word of the year 2025

 Like a lot of others I choose a word each year.

For 2025 my word is;

 Also I have chosen a bible verse which is:

Do you choose a word?

Poorly

 Since New Years Day, I have been poorly. Spent most of the 2nd in A & E with chest pains and still don’t know what is wrong. It is being looked at as stress which of course maybe exactly right. 

I am so tired and no interest in anything..not even reading I must be ill.

I found this on the internet and I have to say many of them are how I feel write now.

I have also looked at burnout as we hear a lot about stress or burnout in social work and I think that this is even more likely.

Now what to do about it. All I am capable of doing now is resting.

Happy New Year

 

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year. 

Whilst we don’t know what the year has in store for us it is ours for the taking.

Finally found someone to help

 It has been months of searching if not years to get someone to cut some of our trees back but then they just knocked on our door. 

Whilst I was at work on Thursday they knocked on the door offering to cut the trees back and despite the high risk of being conned we just went for it.

They cut back the oak tree in the front.

They took out some dead conifers also in the front.

They cut the hedges.

And the cherry tree in the centre of the lawn.

They also did the apple tree in the back garden.

All in all it was expensive but the tasks are now done.

It is a sparkly day

Although it remains very cold here today it is so bright and shiny and everything is sparkling.

The only thing is of course now all the dust is on show and it is going to need some serious work in the house. 

I have succumbed to a stupid cough so will see what I can get done in between coughing fits.

Summer house needs a new roof

 So about a year ago the felt came off the summer house. I covered it with a tarp as a makeshift mend and over the last few weeks it has been torn to shreds so I am about to start another makeshift mend of yet another tarp as I don’t have the time or skill to do anything different.

First I have to remove the nettles and brambles.

.

This is how it looked a few days ago.

Now with a new covering.

I also took a picture of the moon.

I read the meters today and sent off to Eon. Upon reading the electric one it said this seems high. Not sure what that is about but we will see when the bills come. I wouldn’t be surprised if it is there way of us to have a smart meter.

Happy New year

 I love the start of a year it always seems filled with hopes and plans. Now they don’t always last but we will just have to see

New planner all bright and fresh

Like a lot of people I am going to start the year with a word. I have been doing this for some time now and I will share previous words later in the week but this years word is 

The definition of which is 

This really does sum up how I want to spend the year.

A final picture as you can see I have been saving lots to d with my word.

Happy New Year to everyone reading. X
