    Sorry to hear that Beanie. I hope it's one of those 'just the way I feel' moments and nothing  has happened to make you feel down. Have you managed to get to DS's new place yet for a cuppa? Sending you hugs. xx
    In a nutshell I am lonely & missing my furry friends.
     Mr N was here 20 years & I miss him.
    Master J was only here 2 years & stole my heart.
    Not been to DS's as GF is over worried about the virus.

    I remember the house being so empty when you have lost fur babies, take care, love and hugs 
    Not surprised in the least you're not at your best, I would be the same in the circumstances. Take care and keep plodding xx

    Keep plodding Beanie, things will get better. 

    Edit for typos.
    The house is so empty & no one else to think about or worry about.
    I feel bad saying that as some people have lost loved ones but to be fair they were my loved ones.
    As you know I have a very small family.

    I didn’t have to Google Kir Royale by the way. There aren’t many drinks that have escaped my attention 🤣
    The best of us know :grin:
    err, me too  B)>:) - just been googling how to make eau de vie. Says it all really.

    Our cherries are already split between 2 Kilner jars with sugar and vodka. It might end in tears (but I doubt it!). Sorry you are feeling flat.
    Echoing everyone else beanie - hope you're feeling better in yourself.xxx

    As this is MSE(!!) I have no money news to report other than the humungious vet bill which I will pay tomorrow as my new credit card cycle starts. Will take me a few months to pay off.
    They were worth it & more but blimey.
