It's mainly to do with our dear Sash, who's been difficult this week for no apparent reason. My heart is breaking for him, as I don't know how to ease his internal tumult and ease his pain and anxiety.
And then there's my husband, who's off again, without a second thought about how we cope, and whose absences, and ultimately indifference, I resent.
I've been taking photos of things around me this week, mostly on my walks into town.
This cat is a very independent creature. We see it almost every day in the fields, sometimes relaxing in the sun, or sleeping in the grass, sometimes carrying a mouse.
The name of this construction firm in town always makes Eddie and me smile, just because it is his name.
I loved the pattern of the shadows on the pavement, nearby the old woollen mill.
Having a quick coffee in the Blue Boar, I admired the mini-rainbow effect from the sun rays going through the chandelier by the window, with the prism beads.
It was our 23rd wedding anniversary on Thursday.
This fancy car has caught my eye in West End.
Returning from a quick trip to Waitrose in the morning, I looked up and saw the Moon and the aeroplane's trail in the sky.
Every other day, when I water the tomatoes in the greenhouse, I bring in a little bowl of cherry tomatoes. September has been so warm, that the tomato plants keep on giving fruit. They taste the sweetest, when picked off from the vine.
Oh no! Sending hugs! Sorry you've been feeling stressed and out of sorts. I hope things are better soon for you and Sash!
ReplyDeleteYour cat looks very happy in the sun.
Fab photos I love the rainbow effect on the wall. x
Thank you, Kim, I also hope this week will be a bit easier.
DeleteSorry to hear you've been having a difficult week. I hope thing settle down for you soon. It doesn't seem quite right to say happy anniversary, from what you've said about your husband.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sarah, my DH and I live parallel lives, or so it seems, and yes, it wasn't much of a celebration.
DeleteI've had that feeling in the past. Hope this coming week is better for you. I love all the things that you have spotted around you to take pictures of.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Erica, I hope so too. I think I'm becoming known as that lady who always takes photos in town. :)
DeleteOoh tomatoes off the plant taste so good. Hope Sasha gets back on a more even keel soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Emma, he seems to have been less challenging this week.
DeleteI'm so sorry you are going through such a difficult time. I hope it will get better. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Anca! I hope so too, for all of us.
DeleteOn the subject of your son and husband. I really do feel for you. Our eldest is disabled and my husband travelled often with his work, leaving me to deal with her and our 4 other children. It is difficult and there is little rest for you and I imagine your other son gets neglected often whilst you're dealing with Sasha. I could make a million suggestions for you and really wish I lived closer to help you out. Message me if you need to offload. All I can say is there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, you just don't know when it will appear
ReplyDeleteThank you, Suzanne, your support means a lot.
DeleteOh no, sending hugs. I'm sorry you've been feeling stressed and out of sorts. I do hope you feel better soon and Sash too. The cat looks so happy in the sunshine xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susan, that cat is the local character, we meet him so often.
DeleteSending you hugs, hugs and more hugs. When both the boys are at school, just go somewhere just for you - a cake shop, a local café, a shopping trip in town, a walk by a local lake, ... wherever makes you happy and just lets you completely deconnect. I know exactly what you mean and sometimes, you just have to put yourself first because you're the only person who will ! I wish I lived closer - I'd come over and we'd put the world to rights over a slice of one of your lovely cakes ! xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cheryl, that's what I do, when my boys are at school, have a wander around the charity shops and the Works and buy more books. :)
DeleteSorry life is so challenging, I know all about absent husbands and their indifference! love the rainbow effect #365
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary, and hugs to you.
Deletewhat a shame life is so hard for you at the moment, think we all feel like that at times and can understand your resentment to your husband being able to up and away and leave you with it all.
ReplyDeletelove love fresh tomatoes, them and strawberries are my biggest lost items now I cant eat raw fruit and veg
Great rainbow picture.
Thank you, Elaine, what a pity you can't eat uncooked fruit and veg.
DeleteI feel that way too sometimes. Sorry about your husband and Sash. i hope everything turnt out for the better.
ReplyDeleteWe have alot of cats lying around in the grass and footpaths as well.the shadow patterns are quite soothing to see. I want to dive into those cherry tomatoes
Sorry to hear you are feeling stressed, I hope things are improving for you? Lovely set of photos I especially like the rainbow one. I love cherry tomatoes off of the vine its the only way to eat them in my opinion. xx
ReplyDeleteLove your use of light in the form of shadows and refraction this week. Especially poignant when you read the beginning of the post and see the trouble you have had this week. Big hugs! #project365
