Happy Birthday BlueSapphire, lovely that your daughter was with you this morning and enjoy your lunch out!

Good morning from Sefton where it’s sunny and beginning to warm up.
Your third paragraph Karmalady is wonderfully wise and beautifully expressed. I’ve taken a screenshot of it.
Oh, Mattie, I do want to give you a hug, brave lady. A power pack, taxis, and the help of your solicitor should make life easier.
Today I’m hoping to ramble a bit further from the house. Recovering from pneumonia, for which I was hospitalised, is taking a while. How I’d love a mooch in some shops.
Take care everyone.

Good morning all from sunny Lancashire.

Yesterday I had the Botox treatment for my dodgy eye. (Not the kind of Botox that freezes your wrinkles, I earned those!). I.now have swollen bruised eyelids and a bloodshot eye, but that will settle down in a few days. It takes up to a week to see any difference so I’m resisting the temptation to keep looking in the mirror.

I won’t be going out today as the sun is so bright even with dark glasses.

Have a good day all 🌻

Good morning Mick and all from Sunnyside northwest coast.
DD here from the south for a few days and she is a busy helpful bee, weeding the drive and helping me with admin etc. I’m still tired after my southern roamings so had a quiet day yesterday and I hope the same today.
DS came over yesterday and a monster out of use old tv has been loaded into DDs car for the tip along with a few other buys and bobs. I cooked a chicken and he cooked some tasty bits to go with it.
Happy Birthday Blue Sapphire get well soon Nannagarra and I hope things settle down nicely for you Grandmattie

What a lot of posts this morning!
Just back from hairdressers but having a quiet day. The sun is shining here in Co Durham.
Happy Birthday, BlueSapphire. I second the power bank suggestions grandMattie, hope you’re soon settled in your new home, accepting help is not easy for an independent person but needs must sometimes.
Wishing everyone a good day.

Good morning from sunny, breezy coastal West Sussex. I have a very red nose having spent all afternoon at the allotment without any sun protection. DH has just gone off there, liberally smeared with the tiny tube of sun cream that I could find - where are the large bottles from last year?

I am dog sitting today - she will bounce in enthusiastically in 40 minutes. I hope she will help me in the garden this afternoon 😃

Tomorrow we are going to London for the climate crisis demo. There is a church service at St John’s, Waterloo first. I worry so much about our children’s and GC’s future and yet I still drive a petrol car and a diesel campervan and run gas central heating etc etc. Is there any hope for us?

“Not the kind of Botox that freezes your wrinkles, I earned those” - quite right too, Blossoming but hope your treatment is successful.

Happy birthday BlueSapphire.

Lovely photos, Ash and Taichinan.

Karmalady, I take it you moved to be near your family? It’s so hard to get to that place of familiar routines and friendly meetings that build up when you’ve lived somewhere a long time. Hang on in there and it will gradually happen.

Grandmattie, I echo the thoughts and good wishes of others on here. Hope you get settled in your new home soon and without additional expense!

Marydoll, I am envious of your cuddles with babydoll. One of my DGS’s had reflux and had to be fed some sort of ‘thickening’ mixture to keep his food down. Hope things will improve for her, soon.

I’m glad you posted Taichinan, now I know it’s not too late to wish Bluesapphire a happy birthday. By the way I love your photo upthread, what a beautiful sky.

Bluesapphire, I hope that you are having a lovely birthday, I didn’t want to leave it until tomorrow as I’d be bound to forget. So, Many happy returns to you.flowers 🎂🥳
