    I should’ve been on leave for 2 weeks at the end of this month. Holiday to Lanzarote cancelled for obvious reasons so I cancelled one of the weeks but decided to keep the other one as I feel I need some time away from work. Got plenty to do to be honest.

  • Well done on the steps Sunshine :). I think working can make you feel more normal and settled somehow.

  • Loving being back in the work routine , with the sun shining. Need to post a birthday card at lunch so a stroll past a post box needed.

    Well the good feeling has lasted all day , short stroll and then 30 mins sat in the sun. Went shopping straight in , very quiet much better than last time. That was at 5.30 pm , maybe that will be my time now. Made a big pan of chilli to put in the freezer, have enough for 4 meals . Hoping for another good night.  My ankle is now a lovely shade of purple. 
    Ex MIL is finally being laid to rest on the 28th April .

    Yikes to your ankle. Will you be able to go to the funeral? Someone I know has died here, and only 9 people are allowed to attend. That is if you wanted to go to the funeral. 
    Have a lovely evening x

    It’s hard to gauge the best times to visit the supermarket some say early, others say late. Not the best time to have a funeral, it’s so sad. 

    Hope your good feeling lasts 😁

    How is your ankle?
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them
