Another fabulous read. I did shiver when you mentioned swimming in winter…. brrrrr,….too chilly for me to even think about.
Thanks so much for the lovely mention. Earlier this year I was given the news that my cancer had turned terminal and nothing was working. So I was now eligible for a very expensive Chemotherapy that needed to be paid for by the hospital. It was approved and I started 4 hour IV treatments. 3 weeks on 1 week off. This is a wonder drug for me as it’s worked enough for me to have a Stem Cell Transplant. I’ll be admitted next week and have 4- 6 weeks in hospital. This is my only chance of a potential cure, so if it doesn’t work , I’m back to the same outcome . So postcards will be limited I might not be well enough to send them. I’m staying very positive and have a very loving caring family. The postcards have brought me so much joy and look forward to checking the mail box. So thank you very much Prue and friends for enriching my life that little bit extra. X
We'll keep sending the cards, Maree, while you focus on your upcoming procedure and recovery. You will be in our hearts as we send all the positive energy we can muster.
We had -7 degrees this morning and are well on our way towards it again tonight. Perhaps by comparison, the water would feel warm. But at some point you’d have to get back out into the freezing air. Just the thought of it makes me shiver. 🥶
Walking in gold dust amidst bird calls! I felt I was there. And I know that questioning back glance so well - it's always flattering when a Terrier checks in with you! Beautiful, Prue and well done too on your ballet research - happy writing! xo
That water sounds awfully cold 🥶 your walk sounds idyllic Prue, here in the UK we're sweltering, not used to such a heat 31C. Too darn hot 🔥 🥵 😫 more of the same tomorrow. XX
The description of your walk and particularly the gold dust is exquisite! I loved it, and wanted to be there quietly walking alongside you.
Love seeing all your postcards. I have a few, but have been away now for a while so hoping for a new batch when I get back. I too love the news from far away places.
Hope the next swim goes well and looking forward to the book! (Just starting your award-winner now!)❤️
I love everything about this post, Prue, except maybe the title. Mundanity, in my estimation, has a negative connotation, something lacking interest. This is not that. This is what living a contented life looks like, and that is really everything. Womble is turning out to be just the right next pup for you all. Your willingness to swim in all seasons never ceases to impress me. I've taken much delight in the five postcards I've received, each with its own personality and bit of information. Thank you for letting us know about Maree. Thank you for your awareness of all that is happening elsewhere in the world. There is a growing tendency toward myopia, it seems. Be well, friends.
My gratitude for living in Australia is high. Glad your pup is going so well

Sigh…. Good luck.
Keeping you in my thoughts, Maree. I will imagine you redirecting all your postcard energy to what matters most right now. 🩷

Thank you, thank you for reading the award-winner, Sabrina. Safe travels.

If I can remain content until my engine stops, Elizabeth, then it's all I can ask.
The postcards are fun - for me, it’s been quite a treat to start making my own - always good to stretch oneself, even in the most amateurish way.
In respect of the world, golly! Not myopic here. I’m afraid the US administration has lost an awful lot of respect over the weekend… XXXX

Such a wonderful, wonderful read, dear Prue. Soothing to the soul. Thank you. x
