Cornwall holiday and good night, Mr tom

 My my here I come again.. my my how can I resist you.. well, it is the first Saturday after my holiday to sunny Cornwall. We lived in tremaine manor farmhouse, which was built in the 17th century, with a fireplace, stables for car parks, tennis court, game room, pond with a real duck and a crane statue made of metal.. with camp fire in the evenings, marshmallow on fire for my daughter.  This place was a 15 min distance from looe beach. It was a nice little place with a beach. Next day went to listearde, took a train there and spent the whole day I. This deserted town. Had lunch at Wetherspoons. Nice curry with rice, naan and papadoms. Did our shopping in co-op.. and back to our manor house. Had the campfire in the evening after dinner. Next day we went to lands end, st. Michael’s causeway.  Nice to walk on the causeway in the water. But it was a supposedly boat day but did not book tickets. So it was just a photo opportunity. Weird but true. There was an old lady who spoke about she liking children, not having children, about india and how she like Indian clothes and food etc. she said she did not have money as she had forgotten her purse and she said she lived nearby and the shop knows her and she can buy something and pay later.. we just had ice creams to eat as there were no vegetarian pasties.. but had one vegan(chickpea, cauliflower curry) pasty in lands end.. donut.. and a nice walk and back to our manor house.  Next day to Exeter for lunch and then back home and ordered food in dhamaka.

Well, it is the first Saturday after our holiday, woke up, did an expert sudoku.. it took more than half an hour to do it.. but sometimes I think should I be doing the sudoku even when I have this brain fog and think properly. But I am solving a sudoku, sometimes with little cheating, but I do it as a habit everyday.. I don’t know if it is doing any good.. but still doing it..

Signed up for the million steps in 100 days challenge. Did 10000 steps yesterday.. 

and today, I started reading good night, Mr. Tom.. as part of the book reading challenge. 100 books to read from bbc. As part of this challenge I am re-reading all the books I have read before as I have forgotten most of them. .another perk of getting old, you don’t remember things and hence you can re-read, re-watch.. with so much stuff going on.. life is just running away from me and I sometimes I am frustrated, sometimes bored, sometimes happy, sometimes neutral..

Yesterday, my daughter who had applied for some course in Oxford and did not get any message from them was unhappy and in tears and she thought she had not got it and I was trying to find her some equivalent course and I the evening, she says she is in the course and the email was delayed by a day for some reason.. much ado about nothing…

 It’s a bank holiday Monday after kings coronation on Saturday. How odd it felt, I was trying to think what day it was yesterday afternoon and wished it were a Saturday, so that I would have two more days of holiday. I finished reading Jacqueline Wilson’s double act about Twins Ruby and Garnet. It was a very small book. I stared reading it yesterday night and have finished reading just now. Ruby and Garnet have their diaries and I wanted to record my thoughts. About sisters how we used to fight etc. my daughter is an only child. She plays with her toys and seems happy except when she goes on the crying thing saying she does not feel okay. I don’t fell well. All her hormones.. Yesterday we were watching Ilayaraja’s video on YouTube where he was giving a master class on composing and he composed a song based on a situation where a son is going to kill his dad and he composed a lullaby.. He we saw Ben Fold? Not sure I remember her surname. He composed a song in less less 10 mins and i...

 It is a Saturday. You won’t believe what I have been doing this morning. I had like 256 tabs open in my iPad. I was thinking of bringing them down to manageable number. I go through them one by one and as usual represents my varied interests. Trying to master programming. Learning arts and crafts. Learning languages.. Japanese, Russian etc etc. reading books.. fiction non fiction. Even this blog window was open with some line written and I had to delete it to start this one.  So after our cruise where my husband was not well, we came back last Wednesday to go to A and E and then surgery and my sister goes back to their place and she ends up with an infection  and then in hospital. What is happening. Am I in a dream/nightmare. What is happening.  I finished reading Harlan coben’s new book I will find you.. the drama.. Saw the movie amigos in Telugu yesterday about doppelgängers etc. interesting.. then saw another drama of sJ surya - vadhandhi that reminded me of watc...

 Well, me and my sister, well my sister has decided to read the remaining 56 books of the 100 books to read by the bbc. I was enthusiastic as there were few quick wins of books that were less than 100 pages.. so I sort of agreed but she want to read them by the end of this year. With so many things going on in my mind - office, hobbies, house work, gardening and ever changing hobbies, hobbies and hobbies,,also for her it is 56 for me it would be more than ninety. I have read few books so long ago that I hardly remember the story and I would like to re-read them. Nowadays I do guardian sudoku and crossword everyday and that takes around  45 mins. I walk back home that takes 1 hour 10 mins unless I get a lift.. I ama tired, I I spend watching 2or 3 episodes of Greg’s anatomy.. and some movie with my husband when we have dinner.. where am I going to find all the time in the world. I want to learn typescript and nodejs and unit testing and Russian and Japanese and Spanish and some...
