Here’s one I made earlier! ?
Good morning all from a cloudy/blue skies/intermittently sunny/breezy Angus coast. That about covers the weather I think!
Yesterday was such a lovely day I shall relive it for days to come! And the fire bowl was a great success. The least windy spot I could find for it was also the furthest from the house and how they all laughed when I trundled up with two large trays of food and accoutrements across the top of the wheelbarrow. (My take on Meals on Wheels perhaps). Both DSs were with us on WhatsApp so it really was a lovely family time. After the famine, the feast, as they say. The DGDs (15 and 17) took themselves off to another corner of the garden to do TikTok. I eventually found them in the ploughed (but not yet planted) field behind the house "because the uninterrupted backdrop of water and distant hills was better from there"! What's that saying about the grass on the other side of the fence .....?
Thinking of you today Bellasnanna and Marydoll and sending ? along with ? for bravery. And you for tomorrow Cornergran. Gagagran I hadn't realised just what a hard time you have had this past year - far more than your fair share. Love and admiration to you, and a wish for better times ahead. I'm glad you were able to talk to your DD about your worries ?
Now, that's the first two hours of my day gone already and I must attack the detritus from yesterday as I picture it all happening again. Wishing everyone the best day they can, and keep an eye out for the random ??????
Good Morning All x Happy Birthday Stilllearning 
A lovely sunny start to the day, which makes all the difference in the world for lifting the spirits.
Had a lovely day yesterday, heard from D in Oz, then D here called in the afternoon with all sorts of goodies---flowers, 2 boxes of choc. gingers ( my favourite ) money inside my card and a couple of scratch cards ( won £2 ) .
I'd enjoyed a fab dinner too-Aberdeen Angus beef,roast pots and the most gorgeous melt in the mouth Spring cabbage. All courtesy of M&S.
Early evening stepD rang me which was nice so we spoke for over an hour and a half. I had to have a cup of tea after that as my mouth had dried up 
At 71 she said to me that it was the best time in her life when I came along----she was 9 at the time and had been doing the ironing. My late H had custody of the children after his divorce as their mother " didn't want them !"
Those words from SD were the best Mothers Day present anyone could have. We're more like sisters but she has the greatest respect for me.
D was telling me that she had a card through the post from Ruby-Lou, aww., who'll be driven from Durham on Saturday to stay until Sunday early evening so all are looking forward to that. I hope I can see her if only through the window.
A mixture of joy and sorrow when the lambs go to pastures new Sheepandcattle I'd be no good at that and would be a blubbering mess but someone has to do it to keep up the breeding programme. Pinchy sounds as though he's doing well, he could do with a couple of splints bless him. You do so well with what farming entails though, it's no picnic at times. Interesting to learn about the nitty-gritty side of lambing.
Jaxjacky I have to do home BP testing---when I think on as when it was taken by the nurse in January, it was through the roof, but she knows how beside myself I get and until I see her next month I can show her that it's more or less normal at home. Bottom figure is invariably on the low side which indicates that the heart isn't under pressure in pushing the blood around the system. That's the important number.
I'm thinking of those of you who are/will be undergoing tests etc.and praying the outcome won't be as bad as anticipated. xx.
Anyone else not feeling particularly " with it " I hope things buck up for you.
Have as good a day as you can and stay safe everyone.
Love the " meals on wheels " Taichinan That's one way.
A chunk piece of that cake would go down a treat with my coffee just now GrandMattie.
