Black Dog Gang 5

Joce345 I really don't like my husband. I was actually looking at a flat to rent when this virus kicked off. I know how I am with my depression but I've had enough of him for quite some time now. X

Hello everyone
It is a difficult time for us all and takes huge stamina sometimes to actually get on with things.

Annie hope you are ok and feeling stronger today xx
Nonnie I am sorry you are having pain, I hope it is easing.
Raficha you are now at Monday, and passed the Sunday night feeling, I remember it well. Hope you are ok.
Whywhywhy I am sorry you are struggling, it doesn't make it any easier when we are in lock down. This is very difficult for you in such a relationship and very trying. Keep taking deep breaths and move into a room or the garden on your own where you can read or listen to music.
Salsa your colleagues will be glad to have you back. I always smile when you mention Mr Cooper.
Hope you are feeling more settled Flutterby and Joyce hope you are ok you are very creative I love to see your handywork.

It hasn't been too bad a day today for me, at least it has been fine, although there was a shower this morning which I was glad of, at least I don't have to water my plants! The lambs are still running around the field and tormenting their mums. I will make more of an effort to get things done tomorrow.

Good wishes to Doodle and anyone else I have forgotten. Have a peaceful evening and a good nights sleep.
Take care, and stay safe, love to all xx

Thank you. I've got back into knitting and reading in another room but I'm struggling. X

Whywhywhy sorry hope I didn’t offend you in any way.. what a sad position to be.. the lock down won’t be for ever then you will be able to move on with your life...

lavender I don’t think they are needing the bags now, they are providing biodegradable one we think... but I have said I will gladly make them if needed .. just feel a need to help in some way if I can....

Nonnie sorry hope you pain is easier today...

Raficha I have that Monday feeling every day ha.

Salsa Mr Cooper makes me smile

Annie hope you are feeling a little happier today x

Flutterbyl my tummy is still churning not stoped today, it’s such a nasty feeling just wish it would go... hope you are feeling better now..

I have a positive for today , my friend has been in ITU for the past week with CV.. came out Saturday night she was breathing on her own.. got to Sunday night and still doing well..
She has now been sent home to get back on her feet.. we don’t hear enough about the ones that get better...

This is a really difficult time for some especially those living in close proximity to someone they don’t get on with and those who live alone. whywhywhy I am sorry you are in such a bad place at the moment. You can certainly have a hug from me. I hope when all this virus business is over you can find a way to move on with your life.
nonnie I’m sorry you are in pain. Don’t know what to say about your problem getting through to whoever you are trying to phone. I hope you manage to make contact soon.
flutterby I hope your stomach churning passes. We all know that feeling. I think for most of us the feeling only stops when we manage to find a way to cope with the source of the feelings or find some thought to console or comfort ourselves with. I hope that you and all those having wobbles at the moment feel better soon.
annie your lovely girl. I know you miss her so much. ?
salsa hope you get on ok at work. Glad you had a nice day with your family.
lavender must be nice to see the lambs. Hope you sleep well too. x

Glad to hear your friend is doing better Joce

why, Flutter, Joce and anyone else feeling terriblt just keep on keeping on when it is bad and don't ask too much of yourself.

annie we all react differently to these things.

Yes, groin has improved thanks all.

I called the number over 100 times yesterday and tried and tried again today. I actually got through to an extension but it just rang and rang so I gave up after half an hour. I am writing to my MP every day now with a countdown but he doesn't respond. I know he is around as he tweets about sport all the time. Feeling very alone although I know I'm not. Just can't keep saying the same stuff to friends and family, no point.

The sun is shining and one of the deliveries I ordered a week ago is on its way, no idea which one, one is craft and the other is healthy! Fortunately we have a porch.

Hope you all enjoy the sun whether from inside or out.

Hi all x

How are things ? So much fear and despair sweeping the country

‘Although the wind
Blows terribly here,
The moonlight also leaks
Beneath the roof planks
Of this ruined house .

Joce345 - no offence taken.

This morning I have had a little walk out and sat in the cemetery, nobody about there! I’m drowning but still hanging in there. Thank you all for your kind words and lovely PMs. X

Went out to kill weeds in the front garden and saw a pretty white pansy growing in the gutter. Not from our garden, we don't have any. I decided it is a sign of hope.

Hello all..
How is everyone doing today. I been sat in the garden doing a bit of knitting hands here a bit now..
had a phone call from my new therapist today, went ok he will phone me back in a couple of week.. fingers crossed I get some help

nonnie great you think of the white pansy as a sign of hope,
same as my poem today spoke of moonlight leaking through
ruins, after night comes a new dawn . Hope is vital x

Joyce great you heard from a therapist x

i have been having many updates from a friend her husband is my best friend and he has a brain tumor. today they have given him approx a week (1 week) to live. I,m just so angry. this time last month they were in Rome and happy and laughing with no idea this thing was in his head.

The poem was lovely Annie ..
Nonnie sign of hope yes yes...
Yes the therapist seem to be in tune with how I am. So fingers crossed.. how’s has everyone’s day been.

Whywhywhy stay strong hard I know but you will eat there

Wonder how Dawn is doing not heard from her do hope she is ok ...
Hope you all have a peaceful night s? Sleep well night all ?

Sorry whywhywhy that should say get there, you can do this ...

Sorry to hear about your friend Nanny it must have been such a shock for him and everyone who is close to him.
I just got of the phone to my friends husband she is in hospital with cancer, but nowhere nearly as bad as your friends husband.

Hello everyone

Annie thank you for the poem, we must all have hope, we have to cling on to that.
Just like the pansy you found in your garden Nonnie determined to grow.
Hope you are alright Joyce, glad you are keeping busy and you are hopeful about your therapist - good luck.
Nanny that is dreadful news about your friend
Be strong why keep on keeping on.

I had a phone call from my daughter and then one from my granddaughter, it was lovely to speak to them. We had a long chat, my daughter was crying but cheered up towards the end of our conversation. I told her eventually we will get through this and see each other.
Very hard for all of us separated from those we love.
To all I have missed out love xx

Keep safe, take care and have a peaceful evening. Love to all xx

whywhywhy I’m so sorry you feel like your drowning. I have felt like that at times too. I have had thoughts about life never being the same again. Felt such sorrow for my loved ones. But things do pass. I have hope again and light to look for. I hope your load is lifted soon.
nanny so sad about your friend. At least maybe he will pass without much suffering which will be a blessing in some way.
annie how are you today? I am thinking much about Jesus this week and his final days. So much suffering and all for us. Take care x

Morning all.Feeling lower than ever, DH out of action with the most painful attack of sciatica, he's been in touch with the GP who has prescribed strong painkillers and anti inflammatories but didn't recommend A&E unless he has symptoms of serious complications. So on top of everything else I find I need to make it down the chemist to pick up his prescription. Luckily groceries have been delivered but I usually rely on him a lot. Nothing we can do until all this is over (?) when he finally will be able to see a specialist and we'll go from there. Moan over.

Slight improvement for some?

Nanny such awful news and you cannot even give them a hug.

Just picked the first rhubarb of the season. Family suggest I make rhubarb gin as I did last year, DH wants crumble but I think I'll just stew it and make custard.

The thing about the pansy was that it was in the gutter, a most unlikely place.

Hi all x

Doodle I have a thread as usual on ‘Words from The Cross’
for meditation x

nonnie, enjoy the rhubarb and custard, x

BlueSky your poor husband, as someone who has sciatic he
has my sympathy, hope the medication helps x

lavender it’s so hard being parted from our loved ones isn’t
it, I long to see my younger granddaughter x

I am still working through washing the 140 bottles of meal
replacement, by the time I get to the 5th tray there will be
another 5 trays delivered !

Yes annie I have been reading them. Thank you so much for posting.x

Thank you Annie always a kind word for others!

Hi all think I am just the same as you all very sad, missing my family so much.. huge to you all x

Hi all and thanks again for the lovely warm words. I've cried so much today as I feel panicked about everything and cannot seem to rationalise anything. On the plus side though I can go and stay with a friend once this virus has gone until I get a permant place for myself. So there is light at the end of this dismal dark tunnel. Please stay safe. X
