The Spinster's Exploits

Happy New year – officially!

I like to have a positive start and have had a lovely day which may just sound a tad boring, but worked for me!

Had a leisurely start and a bath once the house had heated up and read P&P from the tub – very un-Austen behaviour I suspect! I forgot what a page-turner she could be – especially when a woman’s reputation hangs in the balance…

I made myself a “proper” dinner – a mix of fresh and leftover ingredients but still a proper roast with lashings of gravy…

I planned a walk, but was put off by the weather, although I did have a little stroll in the early evening.

I’ve watched TV and listened to the radio and even did some laundry – the towels that we took to the naturist resort – happy memories! They’ve been slipping down the priority list because not needed and bulky. And also, not awfully dirty, but what we sat on to protect the furniture at the site! So now they’re all ready for our next naturist adventure in the Spring…

I’m a bit ache-y, so some solo tai-chi qi gong to follow I think, but otherwise a very indulgent evening.

I have been musing on my past and thoughts and ideas. I have a vivid memory of being “single”, reading until 2 in the morning and enjoying a garlic sausage roll and cuppa. I remember thinking how lucky I was to enjoy being single or coupled-up as the two states had different pleasures and I enjoyed both. I tended to have spent most nights with lovers when in a relationship up to that point.

I would never have imagined being polyamorous in my seventies or having a life where I get to enjoy the single and coupled-up pleasures simultaneously!
