Vanessa and not good at 'chaos'...
Hope you're enjoying the fantastic weather and you're not in one of the areas of the country where they’re having volcanic ash drop all over them. I was convinced I smelt sulphur in my neighbourhood this morning but it was probably just my overactive imagination!
I really enjoyed speaking to Vanessa Feltz on her BBC radio London programme this morning. We had a good old natter about when a friendship comes to an end. Evidently Vanessa finds it very hard when any relationship ends - friendship, romantic, colleague, etc. We talked about people who are incredibly cut-throat and pragmatic and can simply cut off - without a second thought - someone they’ve been a friend with. I said I felt there was a ‘continuum’ from the extreme of those cut-throat 'peeps' on the one hand - and the way Vanessa feels on the other. I'm probably nearer to her on that continuum - but a little bit more pragmatic than she seems to be.
We've been at the DIY again - as well as having house guests this weekend so it's chaotic around my home today. I'm not very good at "doing chaos" and I really have to force myself to just let go and accept that things are not going to look very tidy while the DIY’s going on.
TODAY’S THOUGHT: What do you have to accept this weekend? Is there something you need to let go of? Well, do what I do - I try and put my concern/worry/anxiety about letting go of something into perspective. That I shouldn't find it hard as it's not a big deal. Hey, it puts things in perspective when you're not one of the unlucky ones trapped in some far-flung place because there are no flights!
Must go clean up and think about something to serve our guests for dinner! Definitely there'll be some of my double chocolate chip cookies - that I can make blindfolded - on the menu for desert!
Till Monday, Pam X
