    As the weather was so beautiful yesterday I decided to go out to Freeport to have a wander around the shops.I had to sit down a few times and of course I had to have the obligatory coffee sat outside whilst people watching.
    I think I can safely say my agrophobia has now gone.
    It's looking glorious outside today so may go out again later...housework can wait for a rainy day as life is too short

    Nothing ever gets done in my house if it's warm and sunny outside. I don't call myself Sun Addict for nothing! Glad you had a lovely day shopping and you can't beat a bit of people watching. Pleased to hear you're feeling better in yourself now.

    Sounds as if the weekend and recent good weather has lifted your spirits no end, taxi. So glad you are getting out and about and enjoying some 'you' time which is so richly deserved. Even when you are ill you put others first so being able to enjoy yourself doing what you want to do is the best news possible.

    There was a big photo-spread in the Daily Mail today about how all the raucous/drunken hen-parties are causing Blackpool a lot of trouble and giving it a bad name. Was wondering whether your OH has had any bother with them as far as taxi rides are concerned

    Taxi you#re sounding so positive and full of get up and go. That's so fabulous to hear.

    I'm glad the weekend with JJ was such a success, he sounds a wonderful little boy and able to lift your spirits no end.

    Do you have anymore treatment or is it all onwards and upwards now?

    Fantastic news :j Managing to reverse that, and not signing off too soon from the MH support, is brilliant news, on top of finishing the course. I'm really pleased for you :j

    Its not as gloriously sunny here today, but the plants *really* need the rain we've got - because my soil is so full of clay, there were already really deep cracks in it, heaven only knows what that does to the plant roots :( better now tho!

    Have a good one today, Taxi :kisses3:
