Last month was a month of ups & downs. The ups first - Rutha's team gets to go to the World level for Odyssey of the Mind; Sunita visited us over Easter - we both egged each other to stay fit & healthy; Mom's BP came down; a new simplification mantra announced at work. The downs - Dad visit had to be cancelled at the last minute due to a health scare. He continues to feel fearful of traveling.
This month I can't seem to be getting my gardening interest back up again :-( Weeds galore outside, potted plants are crying for help! Maybe I should visit a garden center.
The simplification mantra goes like this - we need to reduce the fixed costs - we need to build a presence in the emerging markets - the Europeans are too savvy with their labor laws so Plan B is to let go of some US employees - we need to innovate.
On this last point anybody who is growing is innovating - it goes hand-in-hand.
I made some date chutney last week - evoking memories of friend whose simple & delicious recipe was used! Dates, raisins & tamarind - I tailored the amounts based on what was available & it still turned out to be great!
On my needles right now are 3 projects - the modern quilt wrap, a lacy shawl & a simple scarf!
Time to go for a walk now...
