Good Morning Everyone ,
I have woken to blue skies and sunny and less wind here in brackley could be a warm day.
My usual routine with bus to Bicester , meet up with those I have got to know and have a chat etc, and also do a shop as well.
Maybe some housework much needed on return .
Take Care,
Mick

Good Morning everyone from a dry Co Armagh,
Such heavy showers decimated my nearly dry washing on the whirly yesterday, but all was dry by evening so I got them in and folded , more whirling around in the machine just now . We had Daughter3 and Granddaughter for the weekend, such a lovely visit
I’m catching up with the crochet while waiting for the machine to finish

Good Morning from a sunny and warm east midland. Sick of being on my own and billy no mates! What is the point?

Sorry to hear you are feeling down Purplepixie I am in the East Midlands.
Maybe you fancy meeting up some time?

Purplepixie I think all of us who live alone get to the way you're feeling today from time to time, and I hate it too. Just do whatever you can to distract and get through. I find that getting outside helps me, or sometimes a decent programme on TV or - not the best idea! - something nice to eat. Lots of love to you x

Lovely kind posts to Purplepixie.
I often feel lonely, but as others say, I try to find ways to distract myself.
Ill health is very isolating.

Thank you to everyone for your wonderful kind words of support. X

Purple pixie - just thinking of you and hope you had a good afternoon and feeling better. I find a good book always helps or a session in the front garden where passers-by often stop to chat. My house is on a route to local shop so usually someone going by. 💐

Good morning from west coast BC. Cool and overcast here again, oh for some sunshine!

DH is out on a fishing trip, he texted they got some cod but not salmong. He'll be out for a few days; his friend's boat is an ex-commercial fishing boat re-done with a larger wheelhouse.

So it's just me and dog at home. I get heavy sighs from her once in a while, since DH is much more fun to have around than me!

After work it will be a walk, then dinner and maybe out in the garden for a while to do some weeding.
