Good Morning Everyone.
Wishing hard for your friend in Spain, urmston. As you say, Carpe Diem. Maybe even more important for us to look for the joy in each day we’re given because you just never know. Perhaps having struggled through the spectre of Covid, lots of us may re-evaluate our lives somewhat and Learn to stop sweating the small stuff. (Note to self, GrandmaFrench ?)
Lots of descriptive early morning posts. Isn’t the world around us so beautiful when the weather is good, another warm sunny day in the garden beckons? Before life and the day gets going there are those moments of total peace when it feels as if time is suspended. Oh to be able to bottle that and pour it out on a grey, damp day. The smells are wonderful, before the heat dries them out. We can’t hurry our dogs if we take them out at sun up.....they are in sniffy heaven then and they forget all about surroundings, so we just have to slow down and wait while they get their fix!
DH has just come back from the hairdressers. Just him, her and the receptionist manning the door. Without mask or appointment - you don’t come inside! She, who has suffered financially, feels that it’s only for obvious economic reasons that France is opening again this coming week. It’s a risk.....especially with the unstoppable march of tourists from all over Europe that this will bring. My Eye Specialist I spoke to yesterday feels the same thing. I’m worried, after all the suffering, that the UK will go bonkers in the sun this weekend and there’ll be no social distancing in parks and on beaches. I want to feel that it won’t be too much longer before I can see my family and friends there. Garden gatherings for careful close families are a totally different, and controllable, thing. Still.....we won’t know until we know, so maybe better to look on the bright side and enjoy the new freedoms.
Hope your poor hands benefit from the good advice harrigran, your foot is better and not being stood on for extended periods, Ellan, that Blue’s determination to get better stays strong, that dragonfly’s glass stays firmly half full (unless she fancies another drink, of course), that the useless bunch at Barking Banclays will one day soon come across gilly’s name on their daily to do list, that jacq is much better after her bad fall and justwidowed is finding some more hopeful moments. I wish that anyone wobbling or in pain feels better and more cheerful soon. Let’s stick together on this thread and find a reason to smile. Enjoy your day, all. Big hugs from ????
