Good morning from the NE where we had a fall of snow last night and it is still lying.
Yesterday DD, SIL and I watched the concert from Vienna then after lunch DS and family visited. DS wasn't well, thinks it is a reaction to his MMR vaccination.
My sister rang from the hospital in Germany, she really has had a traumatic time. She has at least another two weeks as an inpatient and she is now talking about a care facility until the neck brace is removed at three months.
I was so tired last night I just had a pizza and was in bed by 9pm.
No visitors today so will do some tidying up and then read my book.
Have a good day.

Good mornng from a very dark and still North Yorkshire. Cant even see the outline of the tree it is so dark. Woke with wretched cramp again, so hobbling around but am going to make the most of being early and surprise Tesco by being there as they open the doors. Must get milk and in particular the local paper. So this morning after the shopping , have to go to the dr's. My leg is very red, a bit swollen and itchy. That was how the cellulitis started last time. Once you have had it , apparently you are more likely to get it again. So not got an appointment , but when I had a problem before and waited to make an appointment they told me I should have come in earlier! Cant win can you? So I will have the paper with me, and am happy to see the nurse rather than the doctor, I shall sit and wait if there is a chance someone can look this morning. As it is thursday, it will be better if I need to do something to do it today than end up on friday afternoon having to go to the hospital. Oh well , with a bit of luck they will say dont worry and I shall escape.Hope everyone has a good day and we are slowly getting back to our routines , which can be quite nice after all the festivities .

Good morning from a dark, dry Bristol. We are to have lots of sun today, after yesterday’s horrible, wet and windy weather.
My little tea party for residents went well. I had invited those who I knew could be alone all day - it’s a rather sad day not seeing anyone.
I’ve got an empty today; letters to write/answered.
I hope the poorly and sad have a better day. Travellers, keep safe. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩
