Oh dear, where have the days been going? I am ashamed to say it is nearly a week since I visited
Blogland. Sorry everyone.
Today my youngest son turns 42 – why worry about the days
sliding by, where did the years go????
He is in Auckland and I was going to visit him but with all of Auckland
in lock-down that isn’t possible. The same
happened to us last year, but maybe next year we can get together (fingers
crossed).

Our hot days are slowly starting to get a cooler edge on
some of them. Autumn is coming!
Today we have extensive cloud cover with the threat of
thunderstorms over the next few days.
I woke this morning to some very heavy rain. It is so cozy to be able to snuggle back down
into the bed and enjoy the sound of the rain, without worrying about leaks or
flooding or having to get up and go to work.
Mittens is curled up on the chair beside me and busy snoring. I never knew cats could snore!!
Have a happy day everyone 😊
Margaret.
Stormy today in Auckland. Wish I too had stayed in bed.......
ReplyDeleteThat pic of Mittens makes me want to take a nap right now. Your son was a cutie...I hate that you can't see him for his birthday.
ReplyDeleteLove the smocking on your son's "top". Yesterday was 28° and today 27° so not cool yet here although a shower has just come over with a nice cool breeze. I love listening to rain on the roof and not having to go to work.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like the sound of rain to make a person want to stay in bed. With a skylight right over my head and all the rain we get it's a wonder I get up as early as I do (before 7).( That's mainly because I wake up so early.)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your son. Hopefully one of these fine days you'll actually be able to go and see him.
Mittens - tell Margaret it's heavy breathing, a remnant of purr or something. I get accused of snoring too. F wants to know whether the birthday boy's (in the picture) shirt has smocking on it? Xxx Mr T
ReplyDeleteYes, it was smocking - but I have to confess that I never did it. I had a cousin who used to do a lot and I have tried it before. If I remember back, I actually quite enjoyed doing it :)
DeleteHope your son has a happy one ! Next year you've got to be together. How long can this continue.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your autumn rain. We are enjoying some weak spring sunshine today
Yes Autumn is definitely approaching rather too quickly for my likings - I have tomatoes to ripen yet!!
ReplyDeleteWe too have had some heavy showers, and some thunder roiling around intermittently during the late afternoon and early evening - followed by a vivid sunset!
So sorry to hear you missed your son's birthday for the second year - I remember you missing it last year too.
Yes, I have long lived with cats and have frequently heard them snoring - some more than others :)
Stay safe
Blessings

Childrens birthdays as they get older are always a problem! I can never believe how quickly the years have gone. My Eldest is 41 this year and the youngest 34 - How on earth did that happen as I'm sure I'm still only in my 40's myself!
ReplyDeleteNext year WILL be better
Our cat Purdy snores, he basket is next to my chair and she rattles them out most of the evening. So many family dates missed this year and last, hopefully soon it will all be in control and we get to see family and friends again.
ReplyDeleteVery cute pic of your Son, oh, boy, yes, time so flies! My Nieces also left the cute stage already.
ReplyDeleteOh, you can hear the rain, that is wonderful!
Cats snore?! LOL xx
Happy Birthday to your son! Mittens looks so comfy and cute.
ReplyDeleteTake care, enjoy your day!
I confess to not knowing about smocking! But he was one cute boy, smocking or not!
ReplyDeleteFeliz cumpleaños para tu hijo. Un beso.
ReplyDeleteAwwww, what a cutie!
ReplyDeleteRottttten, that his birthday coincides with China/Covid outbreaks!!!! %^(*&#$%^* China/Covid!!!!!
Retirement is lovely. -smile- Just hunker down in bed, and listen to the rain, with kitty cat snoring nearby. -smile-

Congratulations with your son's birthday! Talking about where the years go... First I was thinking that your youngest son was the same age as my oldest son. Then I realized that was not right, he is 43, and will be 44 this year! Years fly too quickly! Our cat is snoring too!
ReplyDeleteMy oldest son turned 47 at the start of the year and is already talking about what he is going to do for his fiftieth birthday!!!!
DeleteMargaret!!! Your son is super cute!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad all is well, Margaret. Happy. Birthday to your youngest. What an adorable photo! Such a cutie!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your son.
ReplyDeleteYes, where does the time go, they grow up in no time at all!!
The rain after being in Summer has been good, I'm sure the farmers are happy.
ReplyDeleteOh Margaret, I don't know where the years go either. Happy Birthday to your son. He sure was a cutie, and favors you! They grow up way too fast. That's a cozy looking blanket Mittens is sleeping on.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little boy! Happy Birthday to your son, our girls will be 49 and 46 this year...gosh time goes by:)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your son. I'm sorry that you didn't get to see him this year. I hope that this is all behind us before too long.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your son.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry that you were not able to see him.
Here in the UK we are still in lockdown and family visits are via the internet.
Let us hope things will get better soon.
Take care, my good wishes.
All the best Jan
