............to create a quiet corner.

Just chill out in here Butty they'll get over it!

And from me, butty. Good grief! is all I can say really without being rude about the ^%#¥ ?€¥ and (hugs) and . Hope the rest of your bug wanders off very soon!

Butter So glad to that you, like most of us, let off steam from time to time. You are one of life's good gals. Your pals are well aware of your strengths. They are simply not being cooperative at the mo'. All will be well. You've had so much to attend to, and that dratted bug has left you feeling fragile. Still more (((hugs))) from Kintyre.

I've never heard the 'coming around without water' expression before, when - very apt!

Nice to see you syberia - haven't seen you around for a while.

They'll come round without water butty! True friends can have a bit of a wobble now and again and then get back on track. Bit hard on you, though, so here's another (((hug)))

Butternut (((((hug))))) and

They will get over it!!

That hug was lovely, Ariadne.

Deep breaths indeed, Butter! Trouble is, that when you are a giver, some people see you as indestructible - bit like being a mother, I suppose? They'll get over it, but let them know what's going on with you, then a bit of empathy might be forthcoming. ((hug))

Wow - do I need this space right now!

Nothing major, just really surprised and a little hurt that a couple of friends are giving me a tough time because I haven't been as available to them as they seem to think I should be.
Let me see........one has just returned from being away on holiday for 2 weeks, but is upset because I haven't 'asked' her to help out yet, and is cross that I delegated to someone else. (I suspect there is some kind of friendship hierarchy issue here - strewth!).

Another, whom I have just popped into see, is feeling miffed because since collecting her from hospital, seeing to her prescriptions, doing her shopping, emailing and telephoning, she has felt abandoned. She knows I'm busy with the W. She is quite capable of phoning me, and driving, and calling in to see me, too.......!

Just getting over a bug, as well, so my patience is well and truly shot!



Nice and peaceful here, isn't it.

Deep breath.....

PS This Norwegian weather site agrees about an improvement next week. It has proved quite accurate in the past:

www.yr.no/

When I woke up the weather app on my phone told me it was sunny. It was lying! Now it has caught up and tells me it's raining. It also tells me that the weather will be sunny and warmer on Tuesday.

Grey here and lots of the falling damps (normal, then ) but that means it's a good day for quilting. Hope it dries up for your evening outing with the GCs, glass.

Good morning everyone, well its dull, damp and miserable this morning, hope it picks up as the school have a PTFA fundraiser bike/scooter ride in the woods this evening and as Mummy and Daddy are off for a weekend, Grandma and Grandad have to attend with the little ones, so hope its not wet.
Need some

Good morning, everyone! Just starting to get some rain here in Manchester. If you can spare a little of your blue sky it would be appreciated

Good morning! Looks as though we may have some blue sky today.

Morning, Bags and Butter! Lovely day here..

All busy munching those chocs.

Isn't it lovely how the Quiet Corner stays quiet in spite of all the chocolate box tugging

Strewth, I'm too late!

Glass has offered me the empty box to keep my rice crackers in. Nice.

notso You will have to move fast to get one. I had to wrench the box out of glass's hand.

It's bloomin cold here, I've put my pyjamas over the bathroom radiator to warm up!

I'm just back from ukelele band practice and feeling peckish. In real life I'm having 2 rice cakes for supper, so a couple of virtual chocolate shells will go down a treat.

I love freecycle too.

I think some people just want to see their pseudonym in print.

elegran I am obsessed with Freecycle, but people do put some strange things on. Why would anyone want an Ikea pencil
