Good morning everybody from a bright and sunny - though not cloudless - Angus coast. After nine hours' sleep the night before I was still awake at 5 this morning - and then wide awake again at 8. It will probably then be impossible to stay awake this afternoon making yet another sleepless night tonight. There's no chance of me joining you on your patio tomorrow for a sunrise coffee MellowYellow!
Enjoy your visit to the new Sainsbury Mick, and good to see you beat the gremlins and managed to get your post through Elizabeth - I can just see you air-punching and shouting Yesssss!! Sar so sorry your DD has been so upset but good she can share with you. A trouble shared is a trouble halved, so they say. I hope your parcel pick-up is successful at last. You're obviously a very creative person Ashcombe and lovely that your poem was so well received. Sorry it's so difficult to know whether or not to join your DH over Christmas. It would be the travelling that would put me off - unless of course you could take your car and sit in it for the ferry crossing? You're a wonderful mother Scentia and your DD is lucky to have you - as I'm sure she realises. On the subject of DDs, I noticed yesterday (too late to post) Ginny's DD has confirmed she is pregnant and that we shall have another DGD on here in May. Wonderful news indeed! I too am filled with nail envy Bellasnana - lovely photo too. Remember to tell your DGD that all the grannies in Britain think she is very talented with her ideas ?. Glad to hear you're out of sickbay NanKate, but sorry about your neighbour Nortsat. Long Covid, from what I hear, is definitely Not Nice. And that's also very worrying about your friend "Stilllearning*. It's probably best that she's home though, as picking up Covid in hospital is sadly all too common. Marydoll I know what you mean about those "half-mast" masks. They make me so angry because the wearers are so selfishly ignorant. Either don't wear a mask and sound a klaxon and carry a warning flag, or put the d....d thing on properly!!
I have no plans for today other than going to collect the prescription I forgot to collect yesterday and weed the pile of magazines and catalogues that have accumulated in the corner of the garden room. Oh, and I shall put on a coat and go and commune with my fish in the sunshine. There's always some fun and excitement if you look hard enough ??
Have a good and as pain-free day as possible everyone. ???
