I'm all alone in the house. She who must be obeyed has gone on half term holiday to see her friends in the Netherlands,leaving me all on my ownsome with the whisky, sorry, the housework and such.

I have 4 days in which to keep my sanity, stay on track and not stray from the spiritual path, which I've been on for decades now. Honestly.

I've led a life of strict chaos, never failing to feed my insatiable appetite for creativity, NATURE and all things on the periphery.

The house is so quiet tonight I can hear the church mice over the road, playing with a lump of dry cheese.
