Good Morning Saturday

GrannySomerset, a virtual hug from me to you.

A virtual hug to GrannySomerset from me also

Thinking about you*GrannySomerset*, I wish I could say something useful but you are doing so well ❤️

Thinking of you GrannySomerset a virtual hug from me?

Grannysomerset deep breaths and a sit in the garden with a cold glass of something soothing. Sending you kind and healing thoughts. You’re a strong lady. ?

Grandmafrench I would love to plunge into that pool right now! Enjoy!

Good morning from a rather dull, very still and not too warm South Yorkshire.

I've put some washing out to dry, but suspect it won't do very much unless the sun manages to break through, but it might get the worst of the wet off it - if not, it will be a case of resorting to indoor drying.

Going to bake a cake shortly as dessert for this evening - we've got our friends popping round for a bite to eat. I had hoped we'd be able to sit outdoors, but that looks unlikely unless it warms up dramatically, so it will be indoors probably, with windows open for ventilation. Hope we don't freeze!

? for you, GrannySomerset, and I hope posting here is helping you a little bit.

Well, on with the jobs. Take care everyone.

Good Morning all from cloudy Harrogate, we've had a lovely time in Melrose, visiting Selkirk and Peebles. I thought Selkirk would be full of tea towels and Mugs with The Selkirk Grace printed on, but eventually managed to but the last Tea Towel!! We did buy a Selkirk Bannock, which is very tasty!! We were very fortunate with the weather. My other sister joined us from Lochmaben with her DH.
With a bit of luck you'll get a picture of Melrose Abbey!!
Kitty. I'm so sorry about your DB, hope there is good news soon.
GrannySomerset Sorry you are having a bad weekend.
Your DH and mine seem very alike Marydoll that's just the sort of thing he does, but it's not his fault!!

Have the best day you can, folks

Good morning from the Scottish Borders. I'm drinking my coffee with my coat on. It is freezing.
Pity because our garden is hosting a party this afternoon.
3 gazebos have gone up but we could do wonderful sales of midge nets and skin so soft.

Sorry to hear of health worries .

I'll enjoy reading about the Rose Street murrder, Marydoll

Hoping everyone has the best day possible wherever you happen to be.

And I’ve just remembered what it was, Ash. As a small girl, I was really moved by a lovely bronze sign amongst the flowers in a beautiful area of public gardens where I used to walk after school with my Mum. That verse and *one is nearer God’s heart in a garden than anywhere else on earth’ was engraved there, and in Braille, and I’ve never forgotten it nor the feeling of utter peace being outside amongst plants and flowers.

That is where you should escape, GrannyS, try to recharge and know that - with proper help - you’ll carry on. Because…
he’d do it all for you. In a heartbeat, I suspect.
Every single one of us would turn up to help if we could, so please take some strength from that if you can. ?

You’re always welcome Gingster. I shall pump up a floaty thing and make some more ice - just in case.

MaggieTulliver here is that Buddleia. First time I’d ever seen one that colour too. Yes, I speak French, lived in France 20 years. Originally in Normandy, now in l’Herault, Occitanie ( once known as Languedoc)!

I’ve also lived in Herts……on the Cambs and Essex borders.
Hope you’ll enjoy getting to know everyone on this thread!

Thanks grandmafrench. I’ll imagine I’m there with you enjoying a nice iced drink, and a swim in that beautiful pool.

?‍♀️?

Thank you all for your kindness. It’s amazingly helpful despite being virtual. I can say things here that I wouldn’t burden the children with - after all, if there is nothing they can do there is no point in dumping on them. Tomorrow will be a better day.

Grannysomerset. I do hope today improves and that Tomorrow fulfills it’s promise
I used to cry buckets in the shower so as not to annoy the children , scream if you need to xxxxx

Afternoon Mick and all

I have the energy of a sloth today.

GrannySomerser I am sending you a virtual (((hug))) ?
KittyLester I do hope they find your BiL infection soon, hope your FiL is on the mend soonSusan56
Sar53 enjoy your curtain making, it will keep you out of trouble ? Gingster sounds like my kind of afternoon ?

Having a lazy weekend, trying to catch up with jobs that do not get done when we have the GC here.

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Sending bear hugs to GrannySomerset and to kittylester.
