Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s cold but dry. Gone 8am so it’s light and I can quite clearly see the snow-topped Pennines in the distance. I like that they are known as ‘the backbone of Britain’. Just seen one magpie in a tree across the road. I don’t like that.
I’m off to see the optician later. I rang for an appointment yesterday and got a cancellation. I’ve started with dry eyes and some mornings they are bloodshot. They can be quite sore. Apparently I’m only six weeks away from my regular 2 year check up as well so will have that done too. I go to one of our local independent opticians as I like to support small family businesses wherever I can.
Later this afternoon we will walk over to our little family, using the spare key, to drop off a helium balloon and wrapped presents from us, the Yorkshire Lass (auntie) and my stepfather (grandpa). We are to hide them in a big cupboard which our daughter suggested. That way ‘ta-da’ in the morning for the baby of the family! I cannot believe she will be 4ys old.

Hope Tuesday is good to us all. Pace yourselves today Marydoll and GG13. I admire all grans who attempt home schooling even under the best of circumstances. Keep safe everyone that’s the main thing. x
