    Happy Birthday LW I hope you have a lovely day!

    I am going to do a bit of gentle flying today as my hands are causing me grief. And you can't do much without them!

    pooh I hope DH's leg gets better quickly. who is going to sea and what to do? a bottle of rum should be top of the list i expect:p
    toots xx
    DS3 is going to sea next month. He is my baby so I might need some support on here. He is a fantastic help to me and I will miss him so much. Best not to think of it too much just yet.

    Woke up about an hour ago feeling icky and sure enough was sick everywhere so coming online was a good distraction. Over all I am feeling better though frustrated I cannot get out and enjoy the wonderful sunshine. Two weeks of consecutive sunshine and I am 'trapped' indoors.. giggle.gif All that gardening to do..
    Hope everyone has a good day. With love, light and

    Diva I hope you are feeling a bit better now than you did first thing today. I suppose you have had all the advice about ginger etc. But just in case not, some people find ginger biscuits help a bit. :) Look after yourself. :grouphug:

    I can go out in the sunshine but my drugs make me burn really easily so I wear a big hat, long sleeves, gloves and glasses. I must look really odd. It is a good thing we don't live in a town.:rotfl:
