I once was told I was an orange. One of those lovely sweet round oranges – bright orange inside and out. It’s my all time favourite compliment, because, well, who wouldn’t want to be an orange? Especially one like in Wendy Cope’s poem The Orange . A little bit of sunshine in your hand.
I also came across this video short in looking for a link to the poem, and it also seemed apt in its way.
I am lucky to have such wonderful friends. Thank you for being there, for sending hugs, for keeping an eye out. I feel like I’ve been given a massive crate of sun kissed oranges. I have a new life motto: Run. Remember. And enjoy those oranges!
Duties call -inventory to do, deuce to walk, plus some cooking later on as David and I are going to make a cake tonight. I get to have a whirl on the new mixer.
