HELLO

Hello it’s many here for my thought for Friday.

welcome

Hello again and thank you so much for popping in to listen to my podcast. On a Friday, in case you didn’t already know I choose or think about a word during the week. And I share a few thoughts about that particular word.

Word for the day

The word of today is Sparkle

Bling

What has added sparkle

So it wouldn’t surprise me if you thought it was a bit strange to choose this in these current challenging times. I thought yes sparkle is a good word and I thought what has added sparkle to my week.

Musical interlude

Clocks
My first thought is about the clock. They go back one hour here in the UK. And we all get an hours extra sleep. But it also means that fireworks will start going off, which my companion hound doesn’t like very much but we are prepared. So that’s fine.

Vista

And will soon be approaching firework night what form that will come in this year who knows.

FirEworks
But where we live we have a lovely view quite a Vista of open ground. And that means when people have their firework party or fireworks celebration we get a beautiful, I think I’ve worked out a 200 degree angle, across around us with fireworks going off against a beautiful clear night Sky. It really is lovely we just sit by the window and watch the beautiful colours sparkling across the night sky.

Musical interlude

Strictly
And what are the other sparkles for this week. Well in the UK and probably where you live we have a lovely dance show called Strictly Come Dancing. And if you needed a dose of glitter sequins and colour, that is the show for you to watch. It does depend on how bright it is so sometimes. Or often I normally wear dark glasses, when I’m watching it. But it is so cheerful and it really is some much needed escapism.

Heligan

And there are yet more sparkles in this week which i find quite amazing actually. My husband gifted me Hedgehog figure, for my what I call mini gardens of Heligan which is really cute. I have mixture of ferns and bamboo there with pebbles and larger stones so I can just drift away and imagine that I am my River or by the coast waiting for the tide to just gently wondering and wander out again

Musical Interlude

Lightening

Another sparkle was quite a loud one was across the open view that I’ve mentioned. There was a massive crack of lightning across, shot across horizontally. It didn’t come down it just went across and there were two of them. And it was very beautiful, a bit noisy but very spectacular.

Craft

And what I would also consider a sparkle is that I got some of my craft stuff out, and got some yarn out. I’m making a little surprise with I won’t say anymore. But it’s really nice to just sit in my little creative space which I’ll probably talk a bit more about in a future episode, and just being crafty and playing with colours and yarn so that really does bring sparkle.

Book

I love that last will not be Easter I recently won a boo, which I was ecstatic about. Through a Facebook group I’m, on as part of the Postcards from Midlife podcast. I thought it was really lovely that I won this book. It’s by Caitlin Moran and it’s called More than a Woman. And it yes, it brings sparkle and fireworks it does make me blush but it’s a really funny insight into midlife. Possibly aimed at women at the slightly earlier stage of midlife than I am but I can still relate and laugh at much of it, so it’s a really nice addition to my reading list.

Musical interlude

Close

I do hope that your week has been splattered. Is that the right word? Smattered with a sprinkling of sparkle. And if it hasn’t this week, I hope the next week it is. So that is my Thought for Friday.

Musical interlude
