Autumn Showers

Well, well. Such a long time has passed since my last blog - tempus fugit indeed!
Autumn is hear with gusto and the tv weather forcasters are reminding us that we're looking towards winter, with our backs to the summer's sun.

Over the summer I learned a glorious new phrase "carpe arternitatum", which means ... cease eternity - do I? I'm not sure? I hope so? My trouble seems to be that in trying to cease eternity, the here and now 'gets in the way', but that sounds so wrong, I think I need to cease eternity with one hand and 'the moment' with the other - no doubt that'll mean I get pulled in all directions but it should at least be fun and will hopefully give the moments (good and bad) a context in eternity.

I've also made gingerbread pigs for the first time every - now this could be a whole new board game, I think the possibilities may be endless - stars, trees, angels for Christmas - and what else??? I can't say in itself it was 'theraputic' or anythng like that - I just need to get them done, so it was more of a ginger pig factory, but next time ... I think the autumn 'squirelling' thing has also got me - my mind has turned to food in a big way and I'm considering how to be economic, nutricious, interesting and organised -phew! Not asking too much there then. So I'm off now to plan some 'menus', and getting some dishes on the go.
