Good morning all. It's a cold day on the Angus coast where the sun is trying so hard to break through the clouds. What a beautiful sunrise, Shropshirelass, and thank you for such a cheering picture. DD tells me there is a lot of snow in the hills round her. She took herself for a long walk yesterday, after which she thought she might never feel warm again! She'd better get herself acclimatised as I think we're in for a cold winter this year. I don't mind the cold so much, but I do hate slippery ice and leaves. NanKate I do hope those bruises aren't too painful. It doesn't matter how good your balance is, if your feet go from under you and the ground is slippy there's absolutely nothing you can do, is there. Cherry I'm assuming that as you are unaware when you fall that that means you are relaxed and don't do any lasting damage to yourself - other than the "bruises on bruises". Marydoll I'm so glad you've popped back in, but sorry you are so poorly. I hope the warmth on here cheers you. I do wish people would think before they post their - shall we say, kindly - unfortunate comments how much upset they cause. Scentia I think you're very brave going into your factory at that time - I'd be terrified and get no work done for looking over my shoulder. Dragonfly well done for getting to the end of the treatment. You must be feeling pretty exhausted, so have yourself a lovely cosy rest now ?.
Just watching nature "red in tooth and claw" in the stubble field where a sparrowhawk (I think) is devouring some poor small creature. Two large crows came down to investigate but were seen off in no uncertain manner! Now the sparrowhawk has flown off and one of the crows is back to see what's left over. Not a lot!
Thinking of you all "down Mexico way" as Boris tells you your fortunes today. It's the uncertainty which is difficult, especially at this time of year, making it virtually impossible to plan anything. I'm hoping with all my might, and with everything crossed that will cross, that I will be able to travel to see DS2 in Lincolnshire. If we can travel DD and DGDs will give me a lift as they are hoping to spend Christmas with New Man. But it's all so many ifs and buts. But at the end of the day all that really matters is that we all have our health.
Now I'm away to give myself a good shake and do something productive (no idea what though!). Have the best day you can everyone, and if there's nobody else to smile to go and look in the mirror and give yourself the biggest, cheeriest grin ?. See you all tomorrow ???
