I'd stick with real butter too but take advice from your doctor/nurse fuddle.

Thanks for the advice re my work problem, all duly noted and taken on board.. I would dearly love to share the dissertation insulting me and my work..but you never know who's reading.

I've been in bed all afternoon either reading or dozing..I am feeling absolutely wiped out.

ETA Have a lovely evening vjsmum, wish I was coming for dinner

We have net curtains at our windows because we have big windows and live on a busy street.
Yesterday evening OH somehow knocked the net curtain down when drawing the living room curtains. When he picked it up, the rod that slots through the net curtain, broke. We can buy a new one today (and I'll take the opportunity to wash the net curtain ) but we both have "issues" with our arms and shoulders, and DS is away this weekend, so I think we'll just have to live as if in a goldfish bowl until he gets home on Monday, sigh.

Ivy my daughter has a kitchen window that looks on to a public path. She found a mirrored film from £bay so in day time She can look out and nobody from path can see in.... Night time when lights on She closes blinds as it reverses where path way walkers can see in / kitchen has no view! But its worth it for privacy. Films come in many patterns/colours too. Tuna

Thank you tuna

What a dark, cold, wet and gloomy day yesterday was. A few faithful, hardy folk made it to my friend's coffee morning but she still managed to make quite a bit of money for a small local charity.

I was glad to see the end of last week. Three old friends died during the week, one of them my next door neighbour, and all of them of pneumonia following flu or heavy colds.

Today has dawned bright and sunny though still jolly cold. I should be up and doing but instead I brought my toast and coffee back to bed where I am warm and comfortable, so why not?

I hope you are all more productive today than I intend to be.

THOUGHT FOR SUNDAY

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

ivyleaf, I also have a huge window facing a path. I installed privacy film, the sort of stuff Tuna describes. It's brilliant.

Quite right

Quiet in here today? Hope you are all having a good day

My day is being blighted by a headache right behind my eyes.

ivyleaf

Oh monnagran, I'm so sorry to hear about your friends Just one would have been bad enough, but three in the same week is just awful. (((HUGS)))

karcher You poor love, that's a horrid headache. I hope it eases soon. xx

bouicca Thank you
