Congratulations nannie , 90% ? Wow

You certainly must have a - ? x

hello everyone, How is everyone good I hope xx

Sorry i havent been on much lately. Yesterday I finished my online course for the beginners BSL (British Sign Language) I am now searching for a deaf club in my area so I can go along to help and hone my new skills. I passed with 90% only getting 2 questions wrong. I am so proud of myself

Annie do hope you have enjoyed seeing your lovely granddaughter..

Nonnie I find it very strange just to going to pick my shopping up... every think is strange..

Flutterbyl Hope things are better now..

Doodle hope you are doing ok ...

Hope everyone has a nice peaceful evening..

flutterby sorry you are not having a good week. What ever it is, we are here if you want to talk or just read. Hope things get better for your soon.
annie what a difficult situation. It is easy to see everyone’s point of view. Yours, your SIL’s and his children’s. I think you have been very fair and kind to him but I also understand why his children find his new relationship a problem. Hope it works out for all of them. Hope your visit with your DGD went well and she didn’t get too wet.
nonnie DH is shielding so we are not going in any shops. I expect it feels strange after all this time.
lavender I am fine, how are you and your daughter doing ?

Hello everyone

Hope your day has gone well Annie and the rain kept off xx

How are you today Flutterby keep on holding on, we are all here for you. Sometimes things overwhelm us and leave us shaky, this situation doesn't help.

Glad you managed the chemist Nonnie.

Hope you are ok Joyce and Doodle.

Have a peaceful evening everyone, stay safe and take care. Love to all xx

Just popping into to say “Annie I hope you are having a lovely day with your grandaughter xx

Doodlezoom is really easy, I can do it!

annie I can imagine how you must feel about seeing them all together and also how hard it must be to see them wanting to protect their father if they are not keen on this woman.

flutter Hope things improve today.

It was strange popping to the shops yesterday but I only went into the pharmacy, just walked past the others. Didn't give me any urge to go shopping at all.

Hi all x

flutterby sorry your week not been good , take care x

lavender thank you, my granddaughter will only come for a short while, she is going to stand on the front lawn with umbrella ! But I will see her and that means so much x

Hello Annie just wanted to say enjoy your day with your granddaughter xx

Back later

Hi all have not had a great week so just popping in to say hello and if I have not posted for a couple of days please don’t think I have not been thinking of you all. You are all in my night time prayers. Will get back to you soon. Love to all x

Doodle I wouldn’t join them by zoom, I think my son in law’s lady companion will go, I encouraged him to get on with
his life, he was a good husband to my darling daughter, kept
the home going for the children, never gave up hope she would recover.

I suppose I am unkind but don’t want to see them all together
and there is also the problem that my granddaughters don’t
like her, they think she is trying to edge them out of his life,
not totally but he and the girls are very close, my elder
granddaughter told me recently that if they were to move in
together it was not to be in the family home, it’s their mother’s
home . She wants him to be happy but doesn’t trust the woman.

This is very difficult for me , I told her he has a right to be
happy but I understand about the house.

annie I always love it when my sons get together. You must be happy that your grandchildren and their father (?) will be together on the younger ones birthday. Is it possible for you to join them by zoom? I know nothing about zoom but everyone seems to be talking about it. Could you do that or FaceTime with them when they are together so you could feel part of it.
How lovely your granddaughter is coming for a visit. Is this the one you have been doing the cross stitch for? Glad youve got the strapping off now. Is the cross stitch nearly finished?
nonnie how nice your son wants to look after you. I think that’s lovely.
joce, lavender how are you doing?
Hope everyone is ok x

I posted this usual this morning, it isn’t here, damn iPad.

nonnie great you are getting out x

I spent ages on the unmentionables today, meal replacements,
milk , honey , had a nap lunch time, then younger granddaughter FaceTimed. Will do some stitching now.

Will know tomorrow what the Welsh government has decided
to ease up on, if anything.

Hope everyone is coping x

eilyann yes, will add him tonight. I pray for you all every night.

Scones - easypeasy. Google them, I made BBC plain ones and Mary Berry fruit ones. Should have been sultanas but I only had mixed fruit so threw some of that it. They look better than the others but the others taste nice, haven't had a MB one yet, they are in the freezer. If you can't get SR flour you can just add baking powder to make up. Also on Google.

I went out yesterday! Yes, I put on proper shoes and drove the car on almost empty roads, surreal after 4 months! I drove DH round to DS to sit under cover outside his sitting room and watch the football and went back to pick him up afterwards because beer had been involved.

Today DS says he is going to John Lewis and then coming to take me to the local, walking distance, pharmacy to pick up my own prescription. No, I am not disabled, I am perfectly capable of putting on a mask and walking to the shops but it is his idea of looking after me! He has definitely turned into the parent and I hope it stops when he goes back to work.

Hope the wet day doesn't bring any of you down.

Annie how lovely for you... something to look forward to, ENJOY!! ??

eilyann your son in-law and you and the family are in my
prayers x

lavender my hands are free from the strapping again thank you, I stitched too long thinking I could get it framed for her
birthday so disappointed, hope you are ok x

Joyce thank you x

Doodle nonnie I would love a scone x

My positive - my son in law telephoned, he is going down to see my younger granddaughter on her birthday, he, my grandson, younger granddaughter, her partner are going to
celebrate at the home of elder granddaughter and partner, they will all be together, I was happy and bit sad not seeing her
on her birthday, she is special, I named her . She telephoned
today, she is driving up to see my Friday ?

eilyann your SIl will be in my prayers.

Lavender not heard any thing for a few days I pray for her..

Nonnie I love a scone not very good at baking them for some reason mine are always dry..

Doodle I buy mine now. Do wish I could make my own or nicer home made...

Annie thinking about you nd your poor hands

Night all sleep well ?

eilyann you are in my prayers everyday. I will certainly pray for your SIL too. Hope things work out ok.
nonnie I must confess I bought my scones. ?
lavender joce and annie hope you are all ok.
Sleep well all x

Hello Eilyann

Nice to hear from you. I am sorry to hear about your son-in-law's job, what a worry. I will say a prayer for him tonight and every night that things get resolved for him.

Stay strong Eilyann for him your love and support for him and his family will mean everything. Sending hugs xx

I don't post often and, like many others , the last few months have been very difficult. However I do read and think of you all and you are all on my 'prayerline' every day.
Now can I ask prayers of you all. My son in law a wonderful husband and father, who has pulled himself up 'from his bootstraps ' is in danger of losing his job because of current situation. Please can you bear him in mind? Many thanks.

Hello everyone, hope you are all ok.

Your recall from your childhood Annie brought tears to my eyes. It is true things from our childhood and teenage years remain with us despite being hidden. Hope your hands are better and hopefully the framer will be able to do what is required soon.

Must be a scone type of day - scones and jam here too!

Joyce is there any more news of your nurse, I do hope so. I keep praying for her to come round from this.

Doodle Nonnie Nannie xx Also Flutterby. Has Salsa been around? I haven't seen her.

Have a pleasant evening everyone, stay safe, keep well love to all xx

Doodle I made scones today too! DH is not happy as he can only see 2 and thinks I have given all the rest to DS & DiL but I have put some in the freezer as we are both supposed to be getting slimmer and fitter and we have both jam and clotted cream! He has been giving me the deprived child look

Hello all hope everyone’s ok today..
Annie how’s your poor hands today, feeling less painful hopefully...

Nonnie I often wonder if I deal with thinks from my childhood.

Have a good day all ?

Positives today. Two new pairs of comfy shoes due to arrive today. If they fit they will replace my old sandals that are well worn and a bit hard underneath so I should have happy feet.

Had a scone and jam and cream for lunch which was delicious.

I feel good...ish?

nonnie difficult isn’t it ?

Thinking of anxiety, panic attacks etc, It is said babies are born with just two fears, loud noises and falling.
