Good Morning Monday

Disappointingly no envelope and it seems they are now white, the blue ones weren't ready! You were right Elizabeth!

Beautiful blue sky and sunshine here in West Sussex. Had no snow here. GCs in south very jealous of pictures of Scottish cousins enjoying theirs.
Ordered new face masks and pulse oximeter online. Masks are higher rated ones that I thought would be good if have to go anywhere that distancing might be difficult. Hoping not to need oximeter.
For those who haven’t got Netflix and don’t mind swearing and sex, The Great on 4 has made us laugh on Sunday evenings. It is (very) loosely based on the story of Catherine the Great of Russia. Many glasses are smashed in every episode!
Beauregarde have you no neighbours who can help you? When we kept a few animals, years back, our farmer neighbours were very generous with help when needed.
Elizabeth prayers for you and DH. The trouble with (some) men is they don’t talk about their feelings. I have one like that!

Having to open ‘emergency’ tinned haggis as don’t want to go to supermarket who may or may not have any in. Hoping to watch some Burns night programming on BBC Scotland on the iPlayer. Happy Burns night to all.

Any colour will do Marydoll. ?

Exactly, Kalu!

Sorry, meant to say hope you nip chest infection in the bud GG13.
Marydoll ? You must be the cat with (10)9 lives!

Litterpicker there are three of us involved with the horse care - me, my DD and a livery. My DD is busy with work and family and the livery has little children and her DH isn't well, but helps where she can. I'm the one with more time so tend to deal with these things. I think DD thinks mum will cope as she always has done! Thanks for your concern.

We didn't get a letter - it was a phone call with half an hours notice!!

Litterpicker, I am in negative numbers when it comes to ten lives!

My son was horrified when I told him.
When DD was at home we bought a fire blanket and small extinguisher, as she was always burning the dinner. I forgot we had it!

I’m sure I’m not the only one on here who loves reading about the sheep and baby lambs born safely ... to then be eaten by the likes of me.
?

Beauregarde That’s part of the trouble at the moment - some have too much to cope with and some of us are stuck unable to help out without breaking rules and risking spreading virus. Wishing you strength today if you have to carry water to your ‘girls’ and hoping the thaw comes quickly. Your DH is recovering well it seems so that’s good ?

Marydoll I really meant it to convey ‘109’ but, having been following this lovely thread for about a year now, that was probably also too low a number! Like others I enjoy your ‘near disaster’ stories very much and hope to enjoy them for a long time to come ?

Just thought I would pop back in and say that the cushion covers are finished. YAY, as our Gilly would say. I even threw away the bits of left over fabric. Bin men tomorrow, so no changing my mind.
DH brought my lunch up to me whilst I was slaving working. But by the time I had finished, my back was letting me know it was time for a couple of pills.
With all the talk of Haggis, I am getting envious, as I completely forgot to buy one this year. So it will have to be the other half of yesterday's meat loaf. I will do chips for DH in the air fryer, that will please him.
Must ring my brother later, as I haven't heard how my sister in law is doing today, and whether she had her hop replacement.
Putting my feet up now, and catching up on GN.
