I seem to have been cutting a lot of dead wood out of my life recently.

And suddenly life has taken a much slower pace.

And I'm content. I'm amazingly content.

I've started taking up the quiet habits of the old Lazy, the one that has never existed on blog.

Things like cross-stitch and sewing. I made my eldest daughter a P.E bag this week out of an old velour blouse (its about 10 years old but I hung onto it because it's such a lovely colour) and I've embroidered her name on it.

Cos I can.

I've almost turned into a complete teetotal as well.

Yet i feel so happy.

And at the same time I'm making new friends, decent ones, and suddenly my little town has come alive with people that want to know me and cheerfully greet me when they see me.

Its all so weird.
