    Good morning all....

    Shame on me ...I got the 5 emails this morning from our scottish testing company....I felt obliged to apply!

    happy valentines all....we don't swap cards or gifts normally....but OH has made me a candle....its all bits of old candle melted down and poured into one of my mum's old tea cups...he says he will refill it when empty as he bought a job lot of wicks from ebay.
    His idea is that I can light the candle and share a "cuppa" with my mum like we used to.....it blew me away!

    have a lovely day all x

    Am really going, but had to say how lovely that is . so amazingly thoughtful.
    We don't do valentines cards or gifts either, I would rather spontaneous gestures at different times of the year .xx

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    thanks Rhos....It was so totally unexpected,my OH is not a romantic fool and even less so on a day specifically designed for the purpose!

    I have learnt to live with it all over the years and just accept its not his thing,so to even get anything this year was a complete surprise...so I really was totally gobsmacked by it all.

    Good morning Elite and Happy Valentines Day :heart2:

    What a glorious day it is here, sun is shining and the birds are singing :j. Not much going on other than that :o

    Back and shoulders are fine today but my good knee, which is problematic is very painful, a rest day as planned for me. Plenty of recordings to watch or maybe a DVD or two :D

    Hugs to the poorly Elite and those low in spirit, you're in my thoughts xx

    This is embarassing.

    Went to the bathroom to do the normal morning ablutions, heading for the shower as well and I started hearing various noises around the house which I figured out must be the window cleaner man who appears randomly

    Fortunatley the blinds are down and no window open so I had to skulk here until they have gone, dressing gown and clothes etc in bedroom :)

    How good it is to have friends who care:A

    I don't know if the dark nights get to you too 3 dogs but I've just been doing some research :)

    Firstly I checked the weather and we have at least 10 days of mild weather ahead of us:T Then I looked at lighting up times and in 10 days time we will have gained 40 minutes of extra daylight. 20 minutes morning and 20 minutes on an evening.

    I'm itching to get outside on a night and "do" something in the garden.

    Roll on the Spring:)

    Yes the dark short days are worse aren't they. Roll on long sunny days
