Good morning all from Glasgow. I think the highest temperature we had here yesterday was 11°C, no heatwave here! I must admit to being quite envious. ?
Seeing all the crowds out and about, made me wonder if people were throwing caution to the wind and behaving as if Covid was gone, not observing social distancing and very few masks to be seen. Many won't have been vaccinated yet, even one vaccination isn't enough.
Happy birthday to Gelisjams, have I got that right? ????*Ashcombe*, what a disaster for you, but probable fortuitous that you went to check. You must be so worried about your family at present Sar, but thank goodness your DH is being seen so quickly.
Lovely cake, GM, I will need to make hot cross buns on Friday, Tesco have run out!!! My hot cross buns were a firm, family favourite, but recently it has been taken too much of an effort to make them!
Once again I have no tales to tell, (probably a relief to some readers ?), as I spent yesterday in bed. I was forced to make a decision yesterday, which I have been putting off for ages. I came clean to my children and friends about my failing heart and prognosis.
My SIL appeared unexpectedly with my new meds. The lovely man took it upon himself to go to the pharmacy and chase them up .
MrMD was in the garden, digging up shrubs in preparation for my raised veggie beds, and didn't hear them, ( what a surprise ?) so I had to get out of bed and answer the door, as DH had left the key in the lock SIL he couldn't get in! I think SIL got a bit of a shock, when he saw how unwell I was!
I then got messages from my dear friends across the road, saying I hadn't been seen for ages. ( It's so easy to cover up by text!) I realised I was tired of covering up, making excuses and saying I was fine, so I told the truth!
The Ebay Queen, still hasn't quite got it, but my other friend did! It was such hard thing to do. We have been pals for thirty five years and know each other so well.
To cap it all, DS2 phoned to ask us to sit in the garden of his new house on Friday, to feast on pizza from his new outdoor oven (with beer for DH). I had to admit I was too unwell to come. ?
He is very sensitive and I know he will say nothing about it, but will be doing a lot of mulling this over in his head.
Today will be a non day again, but if I feel up to it, I may sit in the garden for half an hour and supervise MrMD. I have become a bit carried away with putting solar lights in the garden, it looks very much like Blackpool illuminations. It may be becoming a bit tacky, methinks! A couple aren't working, to I shall investigate today. I will try and take a photo tonight to illustrate my point! ?
I have heard recently from a few, regular posters, who have stopped posting, because GN isn't the same as it used to be. Too many afraid to post for various reasons. I'm sorry to say, I have to agree. This lovely thread is one of the very few I now post on.?
Could I please urge you to come back, we need you and your measured posts and and sense of humour. !
Wishing you all, a pleasant day and the strength to meet whatever life throws at you today. Auntieflo, I hope you aren't suffering too many side effects, this morning ?
PS, Kalu, glad to hear your knee is improving. No more jigging! I shall be watching with my long range telescope!?
