I have got my new camera, a Nikon one, my first ever Nikon, and I am back from Transsylvania. There are pictures to come soon.
But it seems that ever since I came back, I am occupied with workload. Recently I have had three proofreading jobs.
So far I have done it only to help my fellow aspiring writers in the writers' group. But now these are strictly professional readings. My mind is tired.
In my free time I do the usual garden chores... with varying success. All my first sowings were ruined by blackbirds, so I am sowing again, hoping for whatever, good luck or something.
.
I am now closer to 50 as I am to 40.
Now, I may start sentences with the phrase 'When I was young'. It is unbelievable.
Suddenly, my parents, thank God they are still around, seem really, really old. Being old if you have an almost 50 year old daughter is common sense.
I don't feel old, though.
I know...They say it's not the number of years, but the way you feel that counts.
Sometimes I feel young, like... 30.
Sometimes I feel like 90.
.
Sometimes I feel the Benjamin Button way.
Either that or I have feelings that bothered me when I was much younger.
Like the purpose of life and all that stuff.
I think I found answers to all those questions when I was 30, but maybe I have to find them again.
I kind of like this new phase.

Be well,
