It's beginning to feel a lot like Spring by Carol M Tetlow 2/25/2024 6:51:20 AM
As the sun filters in through the open windows and the sound of the fountain rippling on the lake makes me over conscious of my own bladder, a couple of lazy ducks are strutting past approvingly. After a heavy frost and thick fog this morning, the cl... more

Most definitely Spring is in the air by Carol M Tetlow 2/18/2024 6:52:09 AM
Just back from visiting my sister and it's so mild, I have had to open the French windows and let in some fresh air. Doubtless this won't last but to breathe in the first hint of Spring is a very special moment. It might even be warm enough to sit ou... more

There's always a silver lining by Carol M Tetlow 2/11/2024 7:25:37 AM
I bet you're all wondering 'what on earth is she going to write about now that she's sold her house?' Well, there are several possibilities. I could wax lyrical about tennis elbow, ironically not in this instance caused by tennis but some bizarre exe... more

Sold to the highest bidder! by Carol M Tetlow 2/4/2024 7:28:33 AM
Finally - it's done! I have completed on my house sale. It has taken me almost exactly a year and it is not a process that I would want to go through again for a long, long time. For any of you currently selling your house or thinking of doing so, pl... more

The finishing tape is almost touchable.... by Carol M Tetlow 1/28/2024 5:39:20 AM
Has she? Hasn't she? How long can I draw out the suspense?
Well, the short answer is that I haven't completed on the sale. There was (yet another) hiccup two days before we were supposed to complete made all the more frustrating because this was... more

In the eyes of the storms by Carol M Tetlow 1/21/2024 8:01:34 AM
I'm huddled indoors, under a rug on the sofa while Storm Isha blows a hoolie outside, bringing with it pouring rain. A very good afternoon to have a list of boring things to be done and I have made my way through a mountain of paperwork and can now, ... more

Joy in the car park! by Carol M Tetlow 1/14/2024 7:36:57 AM
As the wheels of house conveyancing continue to rotate with frustratingly decreasing speed, I have made the wise decision to pay as little attention to it as possible, thereby relieving my stress immeasurably. One of my better plans, I have to say.

All back to normal by Carol M Tetlow 1/7/2024 6:43:56 AM
The first talk of the year was Thursday evening. I knew approximately where the venue was but asked the advice of google maps who surprised me by telling me there was a quicker way than I'd thought of. Off I went and of course it was pitch black. As ... more

Goodbye 2023 - I won't be sad to see you go by Carol M Tetlow 12/31/2023 4:28:34 AM
Just like that - Christmas is over. I'm not the biggest New Year celebrator - and whilst it will be nice to get everything back to normal (and to know what day of the week it is), I fear the return of all the dreadful anxieties regarding the house sa... more

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas by Carol M Tetlow 12/24/2023 4:12:07 AM
From a weather point of view it doesn't feel like Christmas at all. It's mild, a little bit sunny and blowing a hoolie. I've just taken the rubbish out and almost ended up in the next door field. But the day has started with some excellent tennis, th... more

Priorities by Carol M Tetlow 12/17/2023 9:13:26 AM
I might start with a bit of a rant today about the subject that currently haunts me twenty four hours a day. Buying and selling houses. How can it be so complicated? Why, when you think it's all on track, does someone throw a spanner in the works and... more

Prevaricating - never the best way forward by Carol M Tetlow 12/10/2023 9:13:30 AM
The overwhelming memory of the week has been the hideous but inevitable fall out after a viral infection. Both feet seem to have been encased in concrete blocks, spirits low, appetite tainted by lack of taste. But on Friday there was a breakthrough a... more

Let it snow, let it snow by Carol M Tetlow 12/3/2023 3:07:30 AM
Woke up this morning at the normal time to an eerie glow in the room. It took a couple of seconds for me to realise what this meant but then I jumped up and looked out of the window. Snow! Two to three inches, unspoilt by mankind, making my world loo... more

Was it in or out? by Carol M Tetlow 11/26/2023 5:33:30 AM
Last talk of the year and a fine way to finish. Back on my old stomping ground, I was reunited with quite a few ex-patients, one of whom had come along especially to hear me speak. At the end of the talk, one of the afore-mentioned came up to me and ... more

A very slow recovery by Carol M Tetlow 11/19/2023 9:16:27 AM
It took me three days to get over last Sunday's victory. I don't know if I was more tired physically or mentally. On Monday, I could barely lift a racquet, let alone coordinate swinging it with hitting a ball, my limbs felt leaden and my brain like l... more

Literally Game Set and Match by Carol M Tetlow 11/12/2023 10:56:27 AM
So very, very proud of my team. This afternoon, after a closely fought match, our club won the Ladies' Dales Final, retaining the trophy that we won last year. The opposition were good players, good at tennis and excellent at secret machinations. The... more
