I’m still living in total madness and upheaval. The new windows and glass doors are installed, but I can’t move my desk back in front of my office window because they still need to paint the insides.
My garden continues to struggle and mostly die in my dining area and can’t go back outdoors because there’s no balcony yet in sight. Right now I’m infested with gnats from all the soil in pots being indoors and my possibly vain attempts to keep some growing things alive by continuing to water them. My idea of keeping them inside until the balcony is rebuilt was obviously a mistake. Oh well, this isn’t the first mistake I’ve made in my life.
Although I’m not feeling very clever right now, daughter Susan continues to be creative and so here is another of her ‘Muriel says…’ Enjoy!
Thank you Susan…

I hope the gnats you have aren’t like the nasty biting ones we get around here! I am REALLY allergic to them (as is my horse Koda), and a bite from one of them ended up giving me cellulitis in my arm this past summer. I mean, really, like I don’t have enough to deal with from the cellulite in my thighs and hiney…I have to have cellulitis TOO?
Don’t let those little buggers bite you, Maughm…I think your strategy of snorting them up your nose may be the best approach!
😂😂 You are definitely a chip off the old block!
Yes, but more talented and smarter. Stay well Jaya. Fond regards…
Only YOU could get me to laugh out loud thinking about those nasty gnats flying up my nose. Love you so very much, Maughm
You and your daughter ought to create a book of your sayings. There’s a big market for that type of book, I bet. You’ll be a guest on the Ellen and Fallon and Colbert shows!
Good idea Neil: You are something else. You may have something there.
Hey Susan. Waddaya think?
I just hate gnats, last time they were all over the place in my apartment from Kitchen to washroom. Had to use gnat glue sticks
Aha! So there is a solution. I’ll wait until our balconies are in and I can put the growing things outside and then get some — if I can wait that long… Thanks.
