Too long? 16th<\/strong><\/p>\n Learning to use my new iPhone. 10 learning points! ( 17th<\/strong><\/p>\n The moon is very beautiful this evening. If the moon was in the centre of the clock, at 2 o\u2019clock there is the brightest star which isn\u2019t a star at all, it is the planet Jupiter! How exciting is that? Look in the eastern sky. Night Sky Note for September 16, 2011<\/p>\n Friday, September 16, 2011 18th<\/strong><\/p>\n The last day of my holiday, and as usual, the busiest. I never learn this one. You see the day coming for a number of days, you think you have \u2018ages\u2019 you are sure you know where you put the things but no, mad hunt for my work phone! I can\u2019t ring it because I turned it off!! Why isn\u2019t it in my work tray? Oh & why did I leave that letter I said I would do, \u2018till now? And this is the day I decide to cook a roast dinner because I\u2019ve \u2018done no cooking for you for two weeks\u2019 I have also done no ironing, well that will go by the way, I\u2019ll wear something that doesn\u2019t need ironing. I\u2019ve forgotten everything I know about the bit of the Alexander technique that I do try hard to practice every day: Choice. It\u2019s about making a choice. I choose to do something or not to do something. I make a conscious decision to do this or that or something, making a choice takes away so much stress, now; breathe, have a glass of Pinot and cook. You love that.<\/p>\n 19th<\/strong><\/p>\n It is the first time I have seen 7.00am for two weeks. 20th<\/strong><\/p>\n My signature seems to be the colour purple, a new bag, and my nail colour, which this week happens to be purple! Actually, the colour on the bottle is Pinot, which suits me as Pinot Grigio is what I love to drink. How this Purple thing happened is a mystery to me because my one overriding concern is to always stay in the background. I think this has only been since I was an adult, I don\u2019t remember being particularly shy as a child. Today I am wearing a black skirt, grey & purple top, purple heather colour jacket, dark purple\/maroon bag and a necklace in a similar colour, Oh and the nails, Pinot. Oh and my purple bracelet and come to think of it my new glasses have purple frames. Oh my word, until today I never really thought about it. I know that I always choose purple if its available but am not conscious of saying, Oh it must be purple, or I want a purple something or other but goodness me, purple I have become.<\/p>\n 21st<\/strong><\/p>\n Because I have been on leave from work at the start of this project I find it easy to keep up, goodness knows what will happen to it when I go back to work. I have my pages 15 – … Continue reading ![\"\"](\"http:\/\/miriamrogers.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/LSNED-15th1.jpg\" "\\"LSNED")

\nToday is our 27th Wedding Anniversary. We had a beautiful card from Ben and he asked how did we do it? Apart from the usual, \u2018I was drunk\u2019 \u2018I was paid\u2019 I had \u2018nowhere else to go\u2019 \u2018who else would put up with me\u2019 kind of answers \u201cI love him\u201d, \u201cI love her\u201d and “we\u2019ve got you!” We both said together! \u201c\u2018You two have been married too long! You even say<\/em> the same things!\u201d<\/p>\n
\nStill loving,
\nStill laughing,
\nStill learning.
\nToo long?
\nNo, I don\u2019t think so.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nLearning to tap gently, it doesn\u2019t respond to nails, not even fabulous dark purple ones.
\nLearning to keep my tongue in whilst texting.
\nLearning to stop pressing \u2018send\u2019 instead of \u2018o\u2019 or \u2018p\u2019.
\nLearning not to press the tv symbol otherwise I\u2019m lost in the nonsense
\nworld that is YouTube.
\nLearning the difference between camera and photos.
\nLearning how very easy it is to take photos.
\nLearning that yes, it is actually talking to my computer without a fight.
\nLearning to stop saying wow! every 30 seconds when I discover another thing it does!
\nLearning to stop taking it in and out of the posh little purse that came with it.<\/p>\nstalking<\/del> thinking about Shimelle) Ooooh, except that it\u2019s not the tenth. I wonder if it would be cheating to use this list on the 10th October?<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nAnd there was I sitting here thinking I have nothing for today.
\nI don\u2019t have a picture of my own; I\u2019ll find one on t\u2019internet.
\nIn September you can also see the Planet Mars in the western sky, quite low on the horizon but you need to be up at 5 am.<\/p>\n
\nThe Moon rises five minutes before Jupiter rises. Watch the Moon rise in the ENE less than two hours after sunset. Overnight, the Moon is to the upper left of Jupiter.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nNo one was more surprised than me to see myself in the kitchen looking out at the beautiful sunrise and rainbow! I don\u2019t remember seeing a rainbow in the western sky in the morning. It looked like a water colour painting, so beautiful. My picture won\u2019t do it justice but it will remind me that I saw it.
\nFor a Monday and the first day back after two weeks leave I would say it was a good day.
\nI love my singing group, what a joy to sing first thing on a Monday morning.
\nI had a text from my friend asking to meet her for a coffee and another friend returned from her holiday so there was lots of catching up to do today.
\nI had two beautiful comments on my blog.
\nA very simple, straight-forward, quiet, calm, working day.
\nWith some very special moments.
\nYes a very good day.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>
\nI haven\u2019t read today\u2019s prompt because I wanted to look back at my LSDN books for 2009 and 2010.
\n2009 was the first time I had done the class; I followed the prompts every day. Today was \u2018face the challenge\u2019 I have been totally unable to transfer pictures from my camera to the computer without help, today I conquered my fear of that task!! <\/em> I have come along way since then.
\nIn 2010 I didn\u2019t follow the prompts every day but I did use Shimelle\u2019s \u2018extra challenges\u2019. Today\u2019s was \u2018include buttons on your entry, one or dozens. I went with one! I wrote; I love to have a day to myself! Ben & Paul had gone out for the day leaving me & Peps, home alone, Love it!<\/em>
\nAnd I still love a whole day on my own. Anyway the point was, looking back. These projects of documenting your life are really wonderful gifts for the future. Keep telling the stories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
