Living in a farming area, the main engines we see here belong to agricultural machines. They sow the goods, reap them and collect the finished results. In this case the machine was on its way across the field gathering what had grown and collecting the finished goods in a truck container. During the Winter months there is not so much action but during the Summer they are everywhere.
Spending my younger days in London I never saw such machines in action, but now I am enjoying this relative new experience: the smells, noise and even the dirt of the results of the farming. Sometimes I think I should have married a farmer.
This tree seems to have reach its limits, even in Spring: no leaves and no fresh growth, but it is still possible. The gardener was here last week and prepared the ground. There is no rush, and the tree has plenty of time to develop its leaves.
Yes I have renewed after some convincing from a few colleagues, who I have never met in my life and only online. I do not have a lot to say at the moment. but I will return.
After being absent for some time, I have almost forgotten how this blogging exercise functions, so pleas bear with me. As you can see I am still alive and typing.
Some may have noticed that I am no longer here so much. I am not getting any younger, and my health is no longer as it was. I will not be writing so much, if at all. It was great to meet you all and I enjoyed my time here, but all good things come to an end.
I am now in the process of transferring to a senior home, although it will take time and my son will be assisting me in my change. I am still registered with Word Press but will no longer be renewing my mambership when the time comes.
A selection of various radio developments shown at an exhibition. Radio has definitely made advances. I remember the little radio my dad had which was mainl held together by string on the controls. Toay we have so many various developments. I still think of the old days where it was a discovery changing stations and getting news from all over the world in various languages.
Sugar beet is one of our crops Living in farming land, there are always plenty in Autumn waiting to be picked up by the trucks bringing them to their destination to be prepared for the industrial produiction.
Optimism is really something I need at the moment. My illness is no longer under control as it was. MS can be very upredictable, and it is a matter of adjusting your daily living conditions. However, I do not want to go on about this, I am not alone with this problem, and we all have to conquer our trials.
Today my houshold angel was here who helps me with various household tasks. Frist of all she managed to repair my kitchen drawers which had lost a few screws and were no longer so stable. With her usual talent, she found the necessary screws removed the drawers and began her maintentenance work. She has a talent for such work, and within an hour I again had a pefect result with everything working perfectly again. I must say the drawers were 30 years old, but they are now as perfect as the day when we moved into our appartment. I am so glad.
An then we moved onto the living room. For some time I was not so happy, especially as the Winter is now here, and me living room was a little depressing. However, there was a solution and together with Lucia we reorganised the room.. I had various alterations in the living room that I no longer used. Together we deided to raise the blinds, which were casting a dim light into the room and again organised the curtain stripes. Mr. Swiss and I had bought these some years ago but for some stupid reason I stopped using them. We have now organised them and I must say the room does look much better, more light during the day and in the evening I can just close them if necessary. Everything is in perfet working order.
I am so pleased with the result. It is the same furniture, but with the curtain strips now activated again, it makes a good differrence. at least I think so.
I live alone since a few years, Mr Swiss in his golden oldie home, and my son works during the day. It certainly has improved my living space. Life is fairly boring or me and I appreciate every improvement. Sometimes you just need a new idea. Shake yourself and look at the world surrounding you.
There is always a bit of a hullabaloo on our market days in town. Everyone seems to want to show their products and sell them, although if that succeeds is another question. It is often a problem to see what is being actually offered.
I am Ahmed Abdi, a Wordpress blogger and storyteller who searches for stories that inspire people. I love writing because it’s a reflection of how I perceive the world around me. Lost in a world of endless chaos in my childhood, Unforgettable moments of tragedy and triumphs taught me the art of storytelling where I found myself through letter writing and then turned into stories but then sadly had lost everything I wrote for years. In 2018, I decided to create a Wordpress blog site that would allow me to store and retrieve every piece. Stories from my community, city and people are what make my writing so interesting and inspiring! I’m a tea lover so a cup of tea sometimes makes my blog.
