Barkley Blah!

The first time I started a blog, it was because I had something to say, hence the turningsixty blog was born. Then I started the MyBookBlog, an ongoing project to help me write 'The Book'.
Now, this one looks like being a "Sometimes Journal", definitely a reflection of the current pace of my life.

"If You Believe.."

Decided today it was time to get the last of curtains back up. The other 2 bedrooms already done. I've been putting it off, I'm not really that strong yet. So I just get on with it; reassembling eyes onto the hooks, up onto the ladder, start connecting.. all good until I get to the very last one. It is the one that goes over the end, and will look silly (and not perfect) if I cannot get it on.

I am getting angry by now, and hot, and my arms and neck hurt and my feet are tired from hanging on to the ladder. I wont give up though, continuing to jam that b#$%^& hook towards the little hole it has to go into. Suddenly, out of the blue, I look up towards the ceiling and shake my fist, shouting out loudly "For expletive-deleted's sake, couldn't one of you at least get down here and give me a hand?"

I swear I hear a sort of 'stunned silence', and the next thing, believe it or not the hook slips into its little ring the curtain drops to the floor, perfect fit, job done!

Oh, and in case you are wondering, I WAS alone in the house at the time

Hi Della ~~ It pays to raise your voice and swear, when you need help.
I came to wish you a very happy birthday on 20th May. Mine is 24th and I will be 77. I hope you had a great day. Take care my friend.
Love, Merle.
