    I don’t have an Asda near me but the Sainsburys near my work has a fantastic selection of clothes, all good quality too. 

    I’ve got that film on my watchlist, thanks for the reminder.

    Re the news, it’s easy to feel helpless, you just have to do whatever you can do to help, every little helps. There are some Ukrainian lorry drivers parked up locally and they’re filling up their lorries with donations to take back today. A list was posted on FB of the things they wanted, mainly medical items but one thing made me smile they want military equipment, like most folks have that sort of thing going spare.

    On the news they did a piece on a builder who has spent his savings on  military equipment to take to his family and friends who were fighting. There are military surplus stores and people sell the stuff on e bay. Absolutely broke me. He clearly couldn't believe this was happening.

    Agree the news is heartbreaking.  We had a vigil in our local town and it was very moving.

    Morning Buffy. Sounds like my day too - my house is a tip at the moment! Just catching up but re the dogs - my dog goes out for a wee about 9 and then doesn't go until at least 6 in the morning so I'm sure yours will be fine for you to let them out before you want to go to bed until you get up in the morning.
    Hope you're feeling better now.

    I visited Ukraine on a Black Sea cruise on two separate occasions about five and seven years ago now.  The people we met there were embracing Western Culture and the cities we saw reminded me of the UK in the 70s so they were behind us in standard of living but so friendly and welcoming.  It is heartbreaking what is happening over there. We had a peace march on the Tamar Bridge this morning between Devon and Cornwall meeting in the middle of the bridge and all wearing blue and yellow to show support for Ukraine.  Loads of donations too.  About to watch The Weekend away right now.  
    Didn’t know that had happened over the Tamar...must have been very moving.
