Just that really grin

1. My daughter left me a heart doodle in my work notebook ❤️
2. My legs don't ache quite as much anymore after my daily Joe Wicks workout. I like to think this means I'm getting fitter! grin
3. I have the best job

Over to you!

Had a video clip of our GGS wearing the Tiger Beanie hat that I crocheted for him.

My neighbour got me some eggs and bin liners, ( no bread flour) ?

Have made a Malt Loaf, thanks NannyJan for the recipe, and it is cooling.

Hi all, this is my first post after years of lurking.....
- DD just sent me a photo of my DGD's in their first online live exercise class. Like others, I'm really
missing the physical contact.
- DH is up and on the move for the first time this
week after a nasty infection.
- DS2 is shopping for us this evening (will be
interesting to see what 'substitutions' he chooses!)
Thanks for this thread, it's really cheered me up. I tend to be a glass half empty type who rarely spends a full day at home but am slowly adapting to this strange new world.

1, Those I love are safe and well.
2, My dogs make me endlessly happy.
3, My "books to read" pile is lowering!

Family all well.

The sun is shining.

I'm spring cleaning.

sf101 Thu 02-Apr-20 11:55:47

All alive and well
Went for a lovely long walk first thing
Delivered some books and colouring stuff to DIL and saw GDs from a distance.

Family are ok
We have food
With modern technology we can see our badly missed GC .

Maybelater2020 Thu 02-Apr-20 11:47:14

I have just spoken with my granddaughter's who is 11 today

I managed a fast 10k on my exercise bike, while doing it was amazed to see a sparrowhawk zoom towards the window and swerve away at the last minute, amazing.

My cough has eased.

1. Son number 1 has beaten this awful virus
2. Today, all my family are well and happy
3. My coconut cakes appear to be relevant in most of the posts today ? I’m just waiting for them to cool down !

LOL the mind boggles with your third comment

Aggy21 Thu 02-Apr-20 11:42:36

You don’t have to see relatives whom you only see out of duty
You have time to learn new skills
You can indulge in pastimes without feeling guilty

DH and I are in good health, as are our sons and their families.
I have just managed to access my supermarket online shop and add to it, hoping for a delivery next week.
Meantime, the weather is fine and we are enjoying our daily walks.

Daily videos of my toddler grandchildren doing their daily yogasmile being able to watch my baby grandson having his bath via WhatsApp, and all the photos my lovely family are sending us of their daily life

I'm working my way through my wool stash
I'm safe in my home
My oven and my windows are super-clean

henetha Thu 02-Apr-20 11:26:11

My friend gave me some begonias in case I can't get anything else to plant.
My son is collecting my Click-and-collect order this afternoon.
So I will see him, yay!
It's another beautiful day here in Devon, perfect for daily walks.
