Good morning everyone and happy White Rabbits day from a sunny Northampton. According to my weather app wall to wall sunshine is forecast for the next 10 days. Just started a load of washing off.

So sorry Grandmabatty flowersflowers, sincere condolences.

Cut the back grass yesterday afternoon, but it was hard work, and then cleaned the bird baths and did some watering.
Let the cats out into the garden where they enjoyed the lovely sunshine, and were most affronted when a stranger cat dared to set foot in their territory!
Took my book and a small glass of sherry outside......

A veggie chilli to make this morning then out for our health walk this afternoon. More reading in the garden when I get home.

Wishing all a pleasant day.

Good morning g from South Lanarkshire, have been awake since 5.30 and actually have got quite a lot done but still manage to be late reading the thread.

Sending sincere condolences on the death of your mum Grandmabatty, you have been such a faithful daughter and I hope that is a real consolation to you.💐

Post school pick up and childminding today but because it’s quite a journey I set off later this morning. I’m well organised now with my book and the children’s tea in my old lady trolley and a take away coffee just before I get on the bus.
Also have a back up jumper in my bag today since I’m too Scottish to trust this sun till I return tomorrow!

Wishing us all continued good weather.

Good morning all and white rabbits from Sunnyside sand dunes northwest coast.
Problems with IPad this morning.

Good monthly folk session yesterday and a talented new singer.
I bought some toiletries including an eyebrow pencil which has disappeared along the way, and a red swimsuit against my family holiday in Greece in May. I haven’t bought one for years.
FaceTime with flying DD who is on standby this week, which means she could be sent from Singapore to Stockholm, it’s difficult to pack for these trips.

Usual Tuesday music group today, but I’m not in charge so more relaxing. I haven’t chosen my songs yet.
Condolences to grandmabatty and thoughts to all🌺

Grandmabatty so sorry to hear your news. Just when you seemed to have everything sorted, sod’s law
I suppose. It is difficult losing your mum even if your relationship was rocky at times as I well know., she was still your mum. I hope your brother steps up and helps you deal with things . You will be in my thoughts x [Flowers]

Good afternoon, Michael12 and everyone!

I've completed another grueling nightshift dealing with our brilliant patients and their various needs, got a great big lovely hug from patient Gerald when I helped him into bed! He's 23 with various physical and mental challenges.

I'm watching YouTube's created by Kallen and his Slapped Ham videos on my laptop, with a great big mug of PG Tips and a small Rum and Raison ice cream tub, wrapped in a giant throw and Percy Kitten is on the desk!

I've online ordered a EMS Foot Massage Stimulator from Coopers of Stortford for £29.99, hopefully it will help to ease my painful aching feet! It's amazing how much damage is done after 12 hours+ shifts! It should be here in less than a week, I've had an email from them confirming it's been dispatched!

Have a good one, all!

I’m afraid my iPad ran out of charge just as I was finishing my post and died- so I lost the lot!
A beautiful day here in N Bucks, wall to wall ☀️☀️☀️ Which says Spring is really here.
Sincere condolences to Grandmabatty nothing can mitigate the loss of your mum, but to know she slipped away peacefully in her sleep is a blessing in itself.
I was listening to Radio4 on the Assisted Dying bill and couldn’t help thinking how my dear late dad would have wished to fall asleep one night and just not wake up again. As would we all I suspect.
I have just been up to Hotel Chocolat just off Junction 16 of the M1 to meet up with D1. It’s only 30 minutes for me, closer to 45 or an hour for her, but convenient fir both of us.
(Yes, chocolate did feature along with coffee 😊😊)
Kind thoughts to you all ☀️💐

Thank you all for your many kind words on this thread, and on personal messages. I appreciate them all. My brother hasn't been much help but my daughter is a great support. Take care all
