Looking ahead to a bloggy afternoon. I am behind, since I am shattered. This is due to losing out on sleep during my busiest annual phase with work. I am used to eight rooms. With just two to take care of at my homestay, the workload is more than manageable. Though I also had friends stay on the top floor, then my lot of pets are a daily commitment. not to mention the care of my heavenly container pots in the yards!

The washing is a perpetual cycle. Literally … And there’s been community projects here and there. it’s a heatwave. Boom! Good to be useful. Good to be busy. Good to be here. You’re welcome!

I play my Alexa on low throughout the night to avoid hearing my guests thumping around. Their body weight determines the extent of the noise on the ceiling. Since November 2022 the Alexa has been a part of the harassment package I have contended with. At 3.45 am the volume climbs up. I have in the past actually watched the sound on the app slide across while being hands free. In turn, the burst of volume wakes me during the prime of my sleep. It also disturbs my pets and sometimes the guests. Since it starts to get light around 4am, I get up and potter. So it’s rather a cruel cycle with the ease of today’s abundance of hacking tools for cowards.

But anyway, I have researched the topic of keylogging and cyber harassment. Plus stalking and loss of privacy extensively. It’s quite the thing out there. Staying positive, dating myself. A lot’s been going on. More later. Loving those tailored suits across the pond too! Very dapper. Men are nailing fashion these days. From casual to formal. Prints, textiles, ties and jackets.

Housekeeping next, then I’ll be back shortly. By the way my little gypsy style snug had a lick of paint. Cute and traditional. Cosy. Nice. And I just said goodbye to guests, realising I looked blooded. I carried out a vase of dead lilies from the hallway. All that orange pollen from the middle of the anthers stuck to my chin and vest top. I am multi-tasking right now!
