Looking forward to the next few months?

Looking forward to my prolapse surgery-date unknown but hopefully this year as this condition is wearing me down and doesn’t help my mood with planning anything as always need to know where the loo is🙂
Having new hair colour done in few weeks so am looking forward to that as need a bit of a makeover 😀 warmer weather so my joints stop creaking and peace in Ukraine -warm wishes to everyone who isn’t having a great time God Bless🙏

I’ve recently retired and sadly lost my remaining parent last June, but thanks to lovely parents inheritance have been able to afford to do up our house (currently happening) and enjoy my retirement without too many financial worries….not rich by any means or even very comfortable but am able to stick on heating and not worry too much about bills. So looking forward to a more relaxed lifestyle and doing some nice days out when the weather improves and spending more time with my much loved friends and family xx

Bea65 I really hope & pray you get a prompt date for your surgery very soon 💐

Cossie - lovely to hear youcan enjoy an easier life thanks to your lovely parents' bequest; I hope it eases the sting of losing them even in a small way. At this stage of life we can do with all the comforts we can get 🏡

I am looking forward to the cooler months which usually start in May where we live. We have five days booked at a dog friendly house on the coast so looking forward to walking along the beach with our beautiful border collie.
Sounds idyllic Austin- a especially as I hear the wind howling at the window 😅

Who's Austin? 🤔🤣
Apologies Aussie 🤗

Rosenmontag in Köln.

Is that the Karneval Norah?

Is that the Karneval Norah?

Yes. Germany do Monday (Montag) and other areas/countries do Shrove Tuesday. We like the Rhineland Karnevals.

Yes its great fun. Its been a years since we last went but our children loved it. Especially the sweets flung off the processions. Oh and the children's beer. We liked the grown up beer and the music.

Retiring!

I'm feeling a bit envious of the exciting things some of you have planned. Since DH's stroke we don't go out much anymore. He can't walk far and needs to sit with his legs raised, so going to theatres, meals out or holidays are just not possible. He needs my help a lot so I don't go out alone other than walking the dog or essential shopping. So my pleasure is keeping myself busy in the garden, and looking forward to visits from AC and grandchildren.

Looking forward also to carnival here in Germany especially dressing up ! Love the floats and happy ,happy faces on Rosenmontag

Watching the garden wake up, the snowdrops are opening and the daffodils will soon be here.

Looking after our grandchildren for the weekend at the end of the month, luckily followed by a long weekend at a Warner Hotel which we had already booked and will be ideal to relax and recover (they are nearly 2 and 4 and real live wires)

Then we have just booked a cruise round the Scottish Islands for May. Really excited as I have always wanted to go but they are a long way from Dorset! but this cruise sails from Southampton,

I'm really looking forward to some holidays we have planned here and abroad but I'm a bit concerned this awful Tory government is going to mess up rail transport by failing to resolve the strikes and passport queues caused by Brexit.

Some of my happiest memories are of family days in the garden 🤗

faye17 yes I agree, I have many of those, but when I hear about people doing things I'd love to do I can't help but feel sad.

Of course you do, Diggingdoris. 💐 All I have on my list is enjoying seeing the different seasons with the simple pleasures they each bring, the flowers coming out, feeling the warmth of the sun and watching the birds nesting. But that’s enough.

Ohhhh what an uplifting post....

Yes I want to add my thrilling looking forward reply.

I am looking forward SO MUCH to visiting my favourite place on earth- South of France in June..... 😊.

Give you a little background as to why i love it so much ..... right, so i visited Port Grimaud ( opposite St Tropez ) about 20 years ago and i fell in love with the South of France instantly. I am useless at the speaking the language so it isnt a case of I fit in perfectly in that way, i don't know, I just love it so very much. I have been with my husband, took my mum 3 times and pushed her absolutely everywhere, it was BRILLIANT, she loved it, been with friends, been ON MY OWN, totted about in 3" heels, ohhhh I felt ABSOLUTELY CAREFREE AND FULFILLED, now the 3" heels are replaced by a walking stick ( well..... several in different colours to match each outfit ) and a wheelchair but despite the fact I have changed .... THE SOUTH OF FRANCE HASN'T.

I sit outside the Cafe de Paris in MONTE CARLO, I take ride on the merry-go-round in Nice ( bugger to cock my leg up now hahaha ) I sit at pavement cafes along the Promenade taking in the atmosphere while telling myself IM BACK.. IM RIGHT HERE... IM GETTING MY FIX.

So THAT is what I am looking forward to ( so very much yipeeeee )

😃

Diggingdoris I don't go out alone other than walking the dog or essential shopping. So my pleasure is keeping myself busy in the garden, and looking forward to visits from AC and grandchildren.

Dog walking, AC and GC visits are the best of life to me as well. I love to garden and cook - for AC and GC to enjoy with us!

Serendipity22 That is one joyous post. I hope you have an absolutely blissful time 😁
