Kiss me once and kiss me twice and kiss me once again,

its been a long long time...have been humming this for several days now,delightful little tune. 2015 is going to be a glorious year. And busy,busy,busy. Busy not cruising,I hasten to add. Have absolutely nothing booked yet, except a lovely little outing 3rd August, well, may not be little, but it is going to be on the smallest ship to date.Very exclusive, a very much looked forward to cruise. There is something else I have been considering, but have not yet decided,even though the cruise is only a very short one and I could easily fit it in even in the most maddeningly busy schedule waiting for me in the next few months....It was so very, very hard leaving The Queen Victoria on 29 December,I had such a lovely time and the ship had exceeded my highest expectations of life on board during Christmas. There were 37 letters waiting for me, they all need filing and responding to. Will start tomorrow, Two of my plants were dead,they were very much loved, had given me so much pleasure. The birds do not like the feed I had bought-the worms that smell, I thought, enticingly, but apparently not. There is a lovely little one of delicate reddish colour under the belly,it had grown accustomed to me over the months I was working in the garden and flitters about when it sees me, I always throw it little wigglies I dig out ....My ex neighbour had a cat that used to watch me when I was in the garden.It chased the birds and must have killed some of them, I would often find quite a lot of feathers in the morning. I was overjoyed when the neighbour told me he was selling up. Good riddance I thought.the birds will be safe now, but it wasn't to be,there is another ugly monster loitering around. It looks well fed,I hope not from the birds.
