    Good evening

    A brighter day here today. Birds and squirrels are emptying the bird feeders almost faster than I can fill them up.

    I had an ECG today which was just about normal, what ever that means. I am more settled with the meds which helps. I have only been outside twice though this week so that is something on which I need to work, easier said than done though.

    Take care everyone

    Hopefully the sunshine will tempt you out over the next few days. Its been a bit mixed so far but supposed to get warmer tomorrow.

    I've got a blackbird nesting which is lovely to see.

    And I have a blackbird pulling my hanging baskets to pieces!

    Good to hear things are settling down, Pauline, and doesn't refilling bird feeders count as going outside? I think I would count that as at least 50% of going out, if it were me. :) (Thus two refills of the feeders = 1xgoing out).
    I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

    I'm pleased to hear the good news on your ECG Pauline and that you're settled with the meds.

    The last few days have been wonderful weatherwise where I live and I hope it's the same for you. Nothing like it for brightening the spirit!
