Day 1675 a poor sleep but a lovely day

What a rotten sleep I had last night but it was totally self inflicted!

The moral of this story is don’t take your phone when you get up to the loo at midnight…. Ok I used it for the torch but don’t look the phone and start clearing emails. 🫣😆

I may have mentioned my blogger friend, The Windsor Waffle a few times. She’s been taking a break from blogging and there was one sitting in my email at midnight, so of course, I had to read it. She’s back….

It was called Bye, Bye Blog

🫣

😱

I had to keep reading.

She has decided that the time has come for the end of The Windsor Waffle.

😢

For all of the right reasons (not that there would be any “wrong reasons” for making a decision to stop doing something that you don’t want to do anymore!)…. But…. I felt a sadness like I would never have expected.

I’ve missed her blog these last few months and this one ended with “The End Xx”

I was almost in tears as it kind of took my breath away.

Yes I know I’m prone to overreaction at times but I’m still sharing it as it is.

I literally lay all night thinking about it. Tossing and turning.

Wondering if a time will come when I no longer want to write The Rambling Sloth… what would that feel like?! How could that happen?!? My mind went haywire….

So I want the lovely Windsor Waffle to know that I will really miss her blog, as I have these last few months. I really value her support.

The other lesson here is to show that you may not always know the effect you have on other people. You can become a part of someone’s life through and you might never know it.

I love the kind of people that blogging seems to attract.

Needless to say I slept till 8.30am so did get some sleep!!

I headed straight back to Braehead Shopping Centre this morning as I had some clothes to take back.

I was also determined to get a top to go with my long purple skirt and gazelle trainers…. This is for Melanie’s Thanksgiving dinner in Rome as the end of the month.

This was a mission and a half!

Now that I’m home I think I’m going to go with a top I have already…. 🫣😆

I know the look I wanted… the casual top with the dressy bottom but I hate the big baggy T-shirt look as I think it makes my top half look bigger than it already is.

I bought the sparkly top which I may take back and the second last T-shirt… I already own the jacket. I also bought the long sleeved top but it’s fleece, so may be too warm.

Whew, that was tiring writing about, reliving all that changing! 🫣😆

Craig and I sat down and had lunch together at the dining table. 3 meals together this weekend…. CHECK… US. 🥰. We’ve not eaten together in so long.

I’ve tidied away washing, got 4 big bags for the charity shop, and started packing cases for Rome and Iceland.

I sat down and had a decaf coffee and a couple of biscuits to write this. I started in the sunshine and am now writing by the light of the stove.

Finality sharing Nanea’s Sweatpants & Coffee’s wish for the week ahead.

Like so many other positive Fb pages, she had to negotiate the election fear vs elation this week and had to deal with the fallout on one of her posts. I saw so many positive pages get the same thing…. I love her “May you refrain from lashing out online”….

None of us need that.

If you disagree with anything… just move on. Don’t feel you have to add your tuppence worth to something you disagree with. Just scroll until you find something you do agree with.

I’m so glad the feed is back to positivity though.

Have a great week.

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
