Good Morning Everyone,
Up early as usual , its dry ,windy and grey at the present moment here in Brackley .
Yesterday , I managed to get some cornflour , from a local convivence store.
Apart from the town centre looking something like a ghost town, except for cars ,which have started to slowly increase in numbers .
Normality still seems scary as to returning to it , I noticed someone yesterday who was returning from somewhere , he looked like death warmed up , he is the type who ignores the rules as laid down ,and thinks others do not ee or notice changes in others .
Take Care
Mick

Good morning everyone. Hot, blue and windless here at the moment.

I have a spare room which seems to increasingly fill with “things pending”. If it was a filing cabinet, it would be all shipshape - but it’s not, so it’s not. Procrastination is a bad word in my family - sometimes I feel like I may have invented it - so today I shall strike! ??????? and put everything away.

Wonderful, happy memories today for you, Bellasnanna ?Happy Anni, the Nfk’s. Hope you’re pleased with your hair, Bellasnanna.

To everyone with pain today, take it easy and give yourselves chance to heal a little.

Pleased you liked your scones, Gingster - were those the Queen’s ones?! I decided to try the other day, but then.......no lemonade ?. It’ll be roast lamb this evening, lots of veggies, DH wonderful crushed roast potatoes, our own mint and a smidgen of garlic in the lamb. DH in charge so even less excuse for me to avoid the chaos of the spare room.

So.......up and at ‘em. But first a tiny tour of the garden, before coffee. ?. See? It’s going to be a battle between the good and the bad me today. Wonder who’ll win.

Take care all of you. Enjoy your Sunday........another week ticked off towards ‘real life’. Let’s try and meet it with a big smile (to cover gritted teeth?) STAY SAFE, please.

Big French hugs x ??

Good morning from the Shropshire borders.Still breezy.

Felt exhausted yesterday after the upset with Henry on Friday.Today my blood sugars are raised which stress can do so am going to have a relaxing day hopefully.I have found an Ann Cleeves book which I haven’t read so am planning a day sitting in the conservatory reading.

Food delivery between 6 and 8 this evening.

Bellasnanna?

Nfk’s Happy Anniversary???

Take care and stay safe everyone.

Bellasnanna ?❣️?. Enjoy a day of memories and love. The pain I know is hard to bear and five years is no time at all, but there's a sort of joy in feeling that pain, I do know. "Better to have loved and lost........."

Good late morning everyone from a windy Essex by the sea. We've just had breakfast, put a chicken in to roast to have cold later, and so I thought I'd catch up with Gransnet.
Yesterday evening we went for a 20 minute drive to a very isolated part of the Estuary. We took my car to give it a good run, the first time I've driven in two months. It did us both good to go somewhere different where there was hardly a soul about.
No plans today apart from a walk by the sea.
Happy Anniversary to NFK and flowers for Bellasnana.
Have a good day everyone and stay safe xx

Good Morning all from a dull mid-Notts - chilly but at least the wind seems to have died down. So many of you with real worries and upsets - you are all in my thoughts. Stay safe everyone and may Sunday be kind to us all x

Good morning,

Very breezy still and somewhat dull in South Yorkshire with occasional rain spots in the wind. Supposed to be much nicer tomorrow. ?

Bellasnana ?.

Take care everyone.

I am going to be brave and say Good Morning everyone.

Will be a day indoors, and start a 'task' that my therapist suggested. I have wool and needles and may make a start this afternoon while the cats are sleeping upstairs!

Although it is very windy I will try to walk to the end of the road and back - about 300 yards. Therapist has said not to go further than I am happy with.

Worrying very much that my Sainsbury's delivery man yesterday was not standing far enough away, but I expect he was, but that niggling fear just sits in my mind......

Will make chicken tikka kebabs for tea with Indian rice and Bombay potatoes. Pity I can't have a lovely glass of wine ? with it, but not allowed alcohol with my tablets!

Should have been our neighbourhood Sunday drinks socially distanced get-together today, but it is too cold and windy. May do it tomorrow on Bank Holiday instead.

May watch another episode of 'Little Fires Everywhere ' on Amazon tv today. It was our book club book about 6 months ago, and so far I think the film version is better than the book.

Hope everyone has a good day.

BlueSapphire. it's lovely to see you posting again.

A step forward for you. ?

Urmstongran Sun 24-May-20 11:27:22

BlueSapphire you’re back! Yay!
?

If you go for a walk, just till you want to come home is ‘far enough for today’. Even if it’s only halfway up the road. Baby steps while you build up your confidence. x

Welcome back BlueSapphire. It’s lovely to see you and don’t worry about the wine I’ll have one for you ?

Good morning, only just squeezing in before noon. It is incredibly windy still and so cold the heating is on. BBC weather promised some sun so hopefully it will come out. We had a great church service today and it helps so much for several reasons. The chat at the beginning and end is lovely and the technical expertise that has had to be acquired is impressive.

As always to you all, keep on keeping on.
