A Brief Note on Conflicts and Absent Friends.

The issues I referred to in my previous post are not yet fully resolved, so my talkative days are still ahead of me. But just to mention a couple of things:

I had a visitor yesterday who brought me a bottle of Bailey’s Irish Cream as a Christmas present. This causes a difficulty because Bailey’s Irish Cream is alcoholic, and it’s a proud boast of mine that I never drink alcohol before midnight (except on Christmas Day.) I was informed that this liquor-style drink is best appreciated when poured into coffee, but I never drink coffee after midnight. Life’s full of conflicts, isn’t it?

The spider which has been in residence for about two months on the tiles behind my sink unit has disappeared since the weather turned much colder around Christmas. (And it’s become even colder since.) Maybe it’s hiding somewhere in my office which is a little less cold than the kitchen. I wonder whether it likes Bailey’s Irish Cream.

This morning I caught sight of the woman who lives in the lone cottage up the lane. From that angle she was the spitting image of Sheona McCormack (use the search bar at the top of the blog if you don’t know who that is.) It felt odd, and maybe even auspicious.

Bye.
