It's a glorious sunny day sunshine and I'm off to the hairdresser for some badly needed maintenance. I really do look a mess but hoping to return looking and feeling lovely! smile

Nothing nice today, just cleared out our bedroom ( and moved ourselves into another room) as the decorator is coming next week to paint. Looking forward to having it done, it’s the last room in the house that needed decorating.
May treat ourselves to new curtains and duvet covers.

Sorry to hear that Billybob. It’s a weird feeling when your life seems to have crashed and burned and the rest of the world is carrying on as usual (albeit with Corona virus threatening in the background).

I went out for lunch with two friends today. There are normally 12-15 of us but most are somewhat older with various health issues. At least it gave one lady chance to talk about her anxieties and she said that she felt better for it. Only two other tables occupied in a normally full venue.

Thank you for your kind words, feel as if my heart is broken.

Coffee with my sister and a nice walk into town and back.

Making Tomato soup with DGS then he has 3 hours of play booked for this afternoon. For his Birthday this year I asked him what he wanted. He said to play, so I got a nice little bag and made up vouchers promising 1hour, 2 hours and 3 hours of play.
He has Jenga, Draughts and Mousetrap ready and waiting.
As the Schools are all closed I think we will be doing a lot of playing.

So sorry for your sad loss Billybob thanks

I'm going to do nothing today after a hectic few days looking after my lovely grand daughter. Might catch up on Classic Coronation Street which I've recorded and do some knitting.

Have a lovely Saturday. wine

Such sad news Billybob. flowers. Hope you are able to make the arrangements you hope for.

I have had a long walk then pottered in the garden. Planted half the gladioli bulbs I wanted to but came back indoors and ordered a long handled bulb planter for the others, to save my aching back. I will plant them at fortnightly intervals. A neighbour had a great show last year so thought I would add some to my fairly new flower bed replacing my veg plot.

Billybob{{?}} a hug from me. I’m sorry for your loss.

We nipped up to the local nursery this morning (it can’t be called a garden centre by the wildest stretch of the imagination, but their plants are good and not expensive) to find some “gap fillers” for the rockery and something for the shady end of a bed. DH was casting longing looks at polyanthus, which he loves and I hate, but I hadn’t the heart to say I didn’t want him to have them, so they will fill a trough outside the front door until Summer bedding comes along! We will plant those this afternoon if the rain stays off. I noticed yesterday that some hollyhock seedlings I thought had died are doing rather well, so they will merit a place somewhere.

went shopping for a new lounge rug with my DH. we never like the same things, so thought we were in for a struggle. but no, walked into the shop and both liked the first one we saw. not bad for the first time in 56 years.

I did my thrice weekly volunteer dog walk (through the Cinnamon Trust) met lots of other friendly dogs en route and changed my bed so that I am already looking forward to bedtime smile

Thank you so much everyone, your words are very comforting.
