Another day dawns in Stanhope with nothing much happening except the new normal routine i.e. porage and toast with marmite for breakfast, a healthy lunch comprising chips, butter beans and sardines, or fish and chips basically with pudding or dessert , skipped to leave space in the tummy for afternoon tea. plus light supper before sleep. Today an old friend joined us for afternoon tea to reminisce about the past and the future plans.
She was looking very sprightly since I last saw her. She's put weight on since then and still the compassionate woman I knew from her time at Weardale Community Transport, if slightly plumper. Still teaching the Dances of Universal Peace all over the U.K. and still a gypsy in her soul. What else could you wish for in a dear friend dear friends?
Well, since we mentioned healthy menus for breakfast and lunch we'd best mention afternoon tea with Nic! Apple pie with ice cream was on the menu, but Nicola declined, so the blogger and nurse/carer enjoyed afternoon tea rather later. As for supper, obviously the menu was light, comprising of houmous and dips with light dessert being ice cream and mango. A snack between was a little caramac. ..
And so dear readers the wheel of fortune spins round again and again, speeding up as it goes round heading for the end of the body incarnate towards the discarnate fleshless state wittily described as a skin carrying a bag of bones by Alan Watts, the great philosopher and wit whose many books grace the bookcases where your old blogger lives currently.
Tomorrow it's lung function tests at Bishop Auckland Hospital then Easter Week is upon us with Good Friday etc with more tall tales from a life well lived, maybe the last, who knows? The important thing and a lesson from Wear and Dao the blog is to live this Life satifisfied; satifisfied one lived well and died content.
