Black Dog Gang 6

Hi Annie and all! Another positive day with much packing yesterday and a lovely email from another friend. She lives at Edinburgh and hadn’t been in touch for ages and she was so understanding. I have a holiday booked with her in the future and that is another positive. I’m still feeling a bit weepy today but not as bad. Thank you to everyone for your warm hugs and love. I’m getting there and the light at the end of the tunnel is brighter.x

Just popped it to see how everyone is doing..
I have not been very good but on the way up I hope..
Annie made me smile the text, think our younger generation have forgot the art of conversation haha
Hope everyone are keeping safe and well..
Wishing you all a good peaceful day

It’s a good thing to do annie. Sleep well x

levender I will add one more, my son in law was cooking dinner , my grandson was studying in his bedroom, son in law
said to granddaughters, ‘tell your brother dinner is ready’,
one of them sent him a text !

Rained heavily here today. A clematis, so beautiful, I so miss
gardening.

I read in my little book I keep by my bed ‘think of one good
thing which happened today’. Even on down days I find it
is possible to think of something. X

Hello everyone, hope you are doing the best you can.
Annie and Doodle that made me smile about the phone calls/texting. Sometimes I do feel in a different world than the one that's going on around me. My grand daughter says things that seem like a different language .
Good to see you Chewy and Flutterby x.
Why keep thinking about the future, glad you are sorting you stuff out.

Raining today here, which will save watering the plants! My clematis has flowered, so pleased to see it, after it was snapped in half by the wind last year. Lovely pink flowers with a deeper pink inside, it's so lovely. Only a small thing but it cheered me.

Take care everyone and stay safe. Love to all xx

Hi Doodle I am ok thank you, being good and limiting my
time on iPad. Admit without the crosswords, and word games
and family tree research I am bored, and have more time to
fret over the housework I cannot physically do.

How are you ? how is your grandson?

whywhy great, you are looking forward , the lockdown will
pass and you will be ready to move. Keep looking forward x

Hi annie my sons did the same. How are you doing?

why so pleased to hear from you and to hear you are feeling a bit lighter. Glad you’ve got a good friend to help you. On with the packing ?

Hi all. Two wobbly days and I am back on track and going to sort out my stuff this afternoon. Some boxed and in the spare bedroom ready for the off. My friend phoned this morning and she is so down to earth and that keeps me going. I’ll be at her house once this lock down is over. Stay safe and sane all my lovely friends on this wonderful site. X

Hi all x

How is everyone?

Doodle I do wonder if my granddaughters know it is possible to speak on a telephone, when they were both living at home they would message each other from their separate
bedrooms ?

Hello annie. The young aren’t into phone calls really are they. Hope you had a nice sleep but hope it doesn’t stop you from sleeping tonight. Been raining most of the day here so not sitting on the balcony. Been reading a bit. DH has got Far From The Madding crowd download from the library. He is enjoying it. I think I remember you read it recently too, is that right? I’m very sleepy tonight so think I’ll head off early.
Sleep well annie and all x

Chewie keep going back up, hugs x

flutterby thank you, I will. Doing workouts ? be very proud ,
I can’t get motivated, a cat phobia ? that must be so difficult,
were you bitten or scratched , or are they scarey ? X

Doodle I was going to try a pm again today, the temptation
to play words games was so strong, so I curled up on sofa and
slept. So beautiful at Canterbury Cathedral isn’t it ? X

Boredom must cause tiredness, I miss conversations, use to
isolation but can’t even talk to the postman , my granddaughters don’t ‘do conversations ‘ , they do messages !

flutterby the cats are not a main feature. The gardens are lovely and the Dean is such a lovely man ?

chewy thank you for posting again. I was worried about you. Hope things have improved a bit.?

Hi everyone hope you are all having a good if not better day.
For me it’s been a kinda strange day. I have found it hard to motivate myself however for the past two days I have been doing the wee workout on gransnet. Today it was Zumba and it’s was bit challenging near to the end so I did not quite complete the 30mins. Yesterday’s cardio was 20mins.
Annie you can PM me anytime. Be glad to help out.
Lavender good news about your daughter. That will help you also.
Just been washing my groceries!
Doddle must watch Canterbury Cathedral although not sure about the cats. I have a dreadful cat phobia. I would love not to have this as it stops me from going places.
Take care and stay safe everyone xx

Just about on my way back up Annie; how about you?

Hi all x

How is everyone today ?

annie it’s good that you are starting to practice. If your hands are bad, having another option will help. Practice on me any time x ?
lavender news about your daughter must have lifted your spirits. Sleep well tonight.x

Doodle thank you, not great at it am I ? x

lavender thank you. Such good news , if your daughter comes to trust her psychiatrist then a big step x

Hello all
Sorry your hands are troubling you Annie x, hope you can manage the voice recognition.

My daughter seems quite positive today and has had a session with the Psychiatrist today about anxiety, so that is good.

Hope everyone is ok and managing as best they can.
Have a peaceful evening all, sending love xx

Practice with me anytime annie.
I am still watching the your tube Canterbury Cathedral daily services. They have lovely scenes from the gardens and two very pretty cats who seem to follow the Dean around wherever he goes. ?
Hope everyone is ok x

Thank you Doodle just replied to you, I certainly need
practice x

I am using my hands to write this !

I’ll give you a go annie. I love the welsh lilt to voices. My mother kept hers even though she lived most of her life in London. I’ll pm you now.

Hi all x

How is everyone?

I have to cut back on using iPad, sent photographs of my hands to the hand physiotherapist as she requested, we spoke
yesterday.

Any volunteers for PM’s so I can try voice recognition ?, my
Welsh accent causes problems ???????

Annie I hope you have better dreams tonight. Whywhywhy hold that thought, your friend is waiting for you.
Have a pleasant and peaceful night everyone who posts on this lovely helpful thread.
