Good morning Mick, Harrigran and everyone. I laughed at you swinging the dumbells around Mick, don't do yourself an injury! It’s a lovely morning in Cheshire. The sun’s up and not a cloud in the sky. It got quite windy last night, but the trees in the woods are very still now. The bluebells are a carpet of blue in there and the wild garlic and the nettles are lovely too.
I missed the GM thread yesterday morning as I just thought I’d check if there was a slot on the supermarket site and found I had till 09.10 to complete an order for delivery on May 4th. Heaven knows how I put that order together, but I managed it. That was followed by an emergency call from a charity I’m involved with for things for a family in distress, so I called up my neighbours and we put things together for collection.
I am able to sit in my garden and chat with a neighbour in her garden next door, so in this lovely weather we spend a lot of time chatting about this and that out there and I don’t feel so lonely. My DD calls several times a day and I facetime with my DGS. When I said I miss him with no idea when we’ll be able to fly again, he said with all the sagacity of an old man, ‘Well grandma, it’s just something we have to do and I haven't forgotten you.’
When I opened Word this morning there was a message about templates to keep families busy and it looked good. Colouring books and craft activities and many more. Worth a look I think, especially if you have family with children to occupy.
Best wishes for another day staying safe. A hug for all with worries and hoping Gilly is feeling better. for all.
