from 09 to 10
List-i-ness abounds.
Highlights of 09:
- wendy house garden pruned, blooming and growing
- Thomas joining planet wendy
- friends and neighbours (weddings, games nights, enouragement and support)
- visiting Cairo, a Sheepwash thatched cottage, Cornwall, Canterbury, Hampton Court, Avebury, Chepstow castle and Penshurst place
- enjoying wonderful live performances by David Byrne, John Hegley and local bands at Reading Arts Centre tribute nights
- reading some outstanding books
- committing at least 6hrs per week voluntary contributions to a health related non-profit organisation, and enjopying it!
Lowlights of 09:
- Just a bit Brrrrrr in the house on cold days
- Some of my guests have to sit on stools at parties…
- Someone broke into the Wendy House!
- Matrix starting to get extreme old-cat wobbliness
- Sampo’s new nickname is ‘the pumpkin’
- Never got around to blogging on the books I’d read
New year resolutions for 2010:
- replace the wendy house front room gas fire with a wood (pellet) burning stove that will reduce my carbon footprint and increase the wendy house warmth and energy efficiency
- buy a Lloyd Loom sofa
- arrange a diet for Sampo
- do more health related non-profit work
These are possibilities rather than commitments…
- replace wendy house original 1840′s slate roof with felt-lined, insulated slate roof
- tile the kitchen and refit the kitchen worksurfaces
- design a garden mosaic based on the tree of life
- enroll as a student on a counselling course

Happy New Year Wendy, the blogs along the way should be interesting reading!
Awww Lloyd Loom, my parents own a small LL cabinet and have had it as long as I can remember – it’s been painted many shades over the years and always reminds me of home. Hope you get your sofa….you must post a pic on the blog!
