Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Dull today.
I was reading an old thread by mistake. It was a few weeks ago and I couldn't understand why you were all talking about going out!!
We had some lovely moments yesterday - out in the garden listening to birdsong with no rushing about. Phonecalls with our DC and DGC. and my DPiL.
Happy belated Anniversary Newquay 
Hope everyone has the best day you can.
Morning everyone. Stay strong, Mick - together we can come through this.
Glorious morning, cats and dogs clamouring to go outside early. Today’s a shopping trip day - unfortunately - no fresh food left in fridge. So Mr GF will do the deed for us, armed with a list of stuff required and enough verbal instructions to make his head spin! I do worry: I’d honestly be happy now if we just stayed at home but needs must. Tomorrow he needs to collect more essential pills for our cat from the Vet, but the Vet’s wonderful Wife has agreed to take them to her new Wine shop - where she’ll meet my DH and put his wine in our car boot. Obviously it’s sometimes useful to have a cat for an alibi.
Read this morning that a —lunatic— guy tried walking into Spain yesterday via the Pyrenees from France “to buy some cheap cigarettes”. He had to be rescued - cold, lost and exhausted - and was also relieved of €135 for breaking the rules. All the rules, probably!
Well done, Ginny for giving yourself a good talking to. I had a couple of friends ‘phone yesterday. It made me laugh a lot...always the best medicine.
Hope all with sadness, illness or just wobbles have a better day. I’m going to have a 2nd attempt at changing some bed linen this morning : yesterday’s rather feeble effort was derailed by a cat. I also intend to make some talcum powder. It’s impossible to buy and I hate to be without it.
Take care all. Keep smiling - another week nearer to The Great Escape 
Morning all from a grey North Leicestershire.
We did lots in the garden yesterday and you can see the difference but there is still a lot to do. Not having to get ready for the Open Gardens has made us relax and not do what needs doing. A local nursery is still doing deliveries so we have compost, manure and bark waiting to be used.
We spoke to DD3 yesterday but the children were too busy playing with the children next door (from their own gardens!!) and only managed a quick hello.
Today we plan to sort out the back of our wardrobe!!! It slopes into the eaves and there could be all sorts in there. 
Take care everyone.
Morning Mick and everyone.
Sun is trying to come out but we are forecast rain later in Kent.
We should be off on our Warner's break today 
but of course for the best we aren't going. Even if they were open.
Stay safe everyone.
Good morning Mick and everyone. It's a grey dawn here in Cheshire and it's rained in the night. Yesterday wasn't the day I'd planned out in the garden as it wasn't warm and sunny, but very windy and chill. I sat in the garden with a throw around me, but not for long.
I have a walk in the woods each morning and usually find it sets me up for the day, but yesterday I felt down for the first time. I called some friends and felt better for the contact. So today I plan to eat well, do some baking, carrying on with my painting and concentrate of how fortunate I am.
Take good care of yourselves and stay safe. for all.
