While checking out a few of my favourite blogs today I came across Lilly's blog in Oz, she was talking about doing adventurous things (or not). This of course stirred my aged brain into action... You will realize from this post that I am frightened of the day that has never dawned. I am a true scaredy cat (or in my case Kate). Lilly's blog made me realize just how many things I 'am' frightened of......
I would love it if I could gather up some chutzpah ?? I would love to help a neighbour clear out her beehives and do what she does to gather some of her fantastic honey ???
It would be great to be able to walk carelessly to the end of our garden not being totally sh*t scared of a wasp or bees following me... I swear I must have some weird and wonderful scent emanating from my body which seems to be irresistable to them ... They scare the bejesus out of me! This of course causes them to do what dogs do to folk who are very unsure of dogs... (i.e. head straight in their direction wagging their tails and trying to nuzzle ). To be honest it's not so much being frightened of bees but the wasps, they chase me to try and make me like them.. I can almost sense them silently plead with me not to panic 'cos they are, after all God's creatures and have their own job to do (whatever 'that' is). I do wish they would just leave me alone !!! Ohhh I would so love to not be terrified of them.
Other things that I am also frightened of are injections, rats, heights, travelling fast - (in other words being driven by Rob), Thunder, Lightening, I can't watch waves crashing in deep water without feeling sick and believe it or not I can't even watch children playing on swings in the park without feeling sick just seeing the motion of the swing does weird things to my stomach. I never could push my sons on swings which I know probably seems ridiculous. The thing is that I remember my Mum having the same problem and I could never understand how she could feel nauseous... now I know!
Now I have got to the end of this post any vestige of bravery I had in regard to helping with the hives is disappearing fast...... Oh to Hell, just call me 'Scaredy Kate' !
Cheers, Kate xxx..

Kate!!!! I can't read the text in your first part of the post......
I loved the second part though and how wonderful are those words. I am printing that out to keep.
I am flying somewhere tomorrow but will look at your blog again on Sunday to see if I can see the text then. I am very anxious to read the Scardey Cat post. thanks
Hi Lilly,
My PC is mucking me about (to be honest I need to get a new one).
I have found that if you left click, hold down the left click and scan down the post which was invisible is then able to be read !
The last two days I have been unable to even get into my blog and so at different times in the last two days have been tempted to toss the ruddy machine out of the window....
The only thing is I'll need to capture all my blogs and pictures before I could murder the ruddy drive! I'm just hanging on here till I can do this and in the meantime shop around for another p.c. Roll on Christmas arrrghhh !!!
