From the confines of my home in the tower, I have been going over the numerous responses to my last chapter. I must admit that this Princess is feeling a bit down. As I am limited by my location (in the Evil Queen’s tower) I chose to reach out and communicate with the world through this medium. I thought I would work on my written communication skills as well.

It would appear that this is quite offensive to many out there who are looking for a, shall we say ‘quick fix’. This Princess is simply looking to communicate about my life and my day, if there are others who are interested in reading – wonderful. I am interested in making this a two-way communication by using both Twitter and Tumblr. If this is not what you are seeking, I really don’t NEED to know. There are as they say ‘plenty of fish in the sea’ and I would ask that you kindly move on and wish you best of luck finding that which you are seeking.

With that business of the day cleared off my tablet, let’s get back to the life of the Princess living in a rather drafty and damp tower.

I woke rather early this morning with my trusty dog snuggled up to me (for warmth I believe) and two cats wrapped around my legs. I rushed to make some hot coffee and the dog and I descended from the tower to the small courtyard below where the dog and I walk. We marvelled at the leaves that have started to fall from the trees – a few red ones were spotted. I managed to find an old skipping rope in the tower and attempted to jump rope, I failed miserably at this! It seems the rope is perhaps too short? I could manage to jump once (and only one time did I manage to jump twice), the cord would get caught in my ponytail and I would start again. The dog however thought this was amazing – and tried to catch the rope, which did not assist me in any way. We will try again tomorrow.

The dog arrived on the scene last summer, he is not a young fellow and he has several limitations – one being a leg injury, he cannot jump or run, if he does he spends several days walking on only three legs. I suspect this is an injury resulting from his time with the Evil Queen. We have to be very careful when we are out walking. He does seem to be very happy in my company, as I am with his.

The tower is equipped with very long steep spiraling stairs, a courtyard with very high stone walls – which we cannot see over. Inside the courtyard are several very old trees and a bench. On the top floor of the tower (much like a lighthouse) there is a small living space with a kitchen area, living room and a small bedroom. I am lucky to have a wonderful old bed that looks fit for a princess. The stone tower is very drafty and damp and another winter here is a very depressing thought indeed. I keep dream of exploring the west coast and its rainforests and National Parks or the deep south of the US with all its history.

I spend my days doing yoga, reading and writing. Visiting far off lands via the web browser I must admit have become a bit of an addiction as well as looking at photos on Pinterest! I have a camera here with me in the tower and along with improving my writing I hope to capture some beautiful photos. I do spend a fair amount of time taking pictures; unfortunately my only subjects are the dog and the two cats!
