    Thank you.
    I am really struggling with low mood at the moment.
    Hope it passes soon.

    I feel a bit like that :(. I think Easter and too much time at home is making me think about my mum. I need to go back to work. I hope you feel better soon Beanie, I find keeping busy helps.

    Morning Beanie :) Just popping in to say I hope you feel a bit better today although losing a friend is bound to knock you for six. :(

    Is it constant pain you're struggling with or being able to do things, or both? And are you well looked after regarding your health or pretty much left to get on with it yourself?

    Have a relaxing day. xx

    More or less constant pain.
    Some days are worse than others.
    I am also struggling more with being able to do less.
    It is as it is. Just difficult sometimes.
    I have accapuncture & private physio.

    Sorry to read about your friend Beanie, it's so sad to be taken when they are still young. I hope you find some way of getting better physically, if I lived near you me and milann would be round to help.

    Thinking of you in your beautiful part of the world. I loved Scotland.
    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.
