That is amazing news @SaskiaKCI can proceed. Wednesday morning (today) I will turn in my 30 days' notice here. I hope I won't have to stay here for the full 30 days; I'm ready to go whenever my friend can help move me.
I'm glad you got some paracetamol. I hope you've been able to get some rest -- what are you doing awake so early?
Winner for fbg, and the comfort of good friends in a time of need.Good Morning and 5.2 today, I suspect these lows are down to trying to make our food store go further so MUCH smaller portions, I shall disappear.
Still no joy with shopping slots delivery or collect.
@SaskiaKC great news really hope the move happens quickly now.
@Debandez thank you for your compliments on rt. Great you are getting involved especially with family as well. Do post some of Eric's art, the more the merrier.
Daughter dropping in MOthers day gift today, from a distance sadly she will not be stopping for chat and coffee but at lest we can wave to her and grandaughter in the flesh.
There is a lot of care out there, yesterday a mountain bike friend (50 year old) text to ask if we were doing OK and if we needed help with anything to let him know, shopping, medicine collecting for Mrs MC (Kathy) how kind.
So a day foraging online, don't hold out much hope.
Started a painting yesterday but not enough completed to post, will try today.
Another fine day use it well, keep as active as you are able.
Good luck MC you never know.So a day foraging online, don't hold out much hope.
Trees - Mrs Miggins and a neighbor have invented the tree trimming dance with the aid of our large and overgrown bay tree by our border fence.
First steps - Mrs Miggins steps forwards, dances up the ladder and makes several lunges with the lopper with me holding the bottom of the ladder and a pigs bladder on a stick, attempting to avoid being turned into the green man by falling debris. She then dances down the ladder and we skip daintily backwards for eight beats of a bodhran, do a hey nonny no and I tap her on the head with the pigs bladder.
Second steps - Neighbor steps forward and dances up the ladder from her side with her son playing the potential green man roll and repeats the steps.
Steps 1 and 2 repeated until a fair height and shape achieved.
I'll leave you with my all-time favourite quote -
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

Brilliant @OldButBold6.3 this morning and another gorgeous day so gardening it is. Temp is 35.9 so I'm ok
Her ladyship has finally accepted that we are 'at war' and should behave responsibly. The good news is that she has prebooked guaranteed slots for online shopping (I can't afford those) and has told me I can tack my needs on to her shopping lists. Probably the best thing that's happened
At least her boyfriend is staying away, so I don't have to put up with that nonsense
