    How are you dear Bear?

    A wet & colder day here~~boo.

    Very wet here too but the garden loves it :)

    I'm very well thank you. I have seedlings growing in the new greenhouse and a garden full of visiting birds.
    What could be better? :j

    Hope all is good with you :)

    How are you Butti?

    I'm up and down Beanie. Spending too much and probably need another diary and a list of NSDs to reign me back in. Mortgage is down from £92k to the £79'ks so that's good.

    Have started looking for other jobs and contemplating what I need to do to prepare. I want to work in a company in an office (really my demands are quite simple!!) Have been reminded of the good friends I have both down here and elsewhere in the last week, with their really good advice.

    We are on the knotty memory at the moment in therapy. Not very comfortable at all - pretty gruelling really. I'm hoping we'll finish that one tomorrow.

    I'm glad you're plodding on. Keep going Chuck.

    In other non MSE news I have had the conservatory roof cleaned.
    Much better now than it was.

    A wee stint at the FB today which always helps to put things into prespective.
    I have a roof over my head, can pay most bills on time & I can buy food.
    Ok, maybe not always the food I would like but I can buy food.

    Happy 1st June lovely peeps.

    No sunshine here I am afraid.
    Raining here.

    Pain levels high today.
    I blame the weedkiller spraying.
    Ho hum.
