Hello all.
Feel guilty as I slept like a log last night even though we've had another bereavement in the family yesterday.Got up at eight. I've walked the dogs, done dailies, popped to shop, cut grass back and front and made apple turnovers.
Going to have a do nothing afternoon apart from a second walk.Spend less now, work less later.11 -
Hello all
Sorry, have been awol this week. I increased my days at work to 4, and am struggling to get my head around that and dealing with the every day. Pathetic, but I really don’t want this to overwhelm me.
Flying all week has been absolutely minimal, and it shows. Wm x 1 done this morning, hanging indoors as it is still and chilly outside. Today, however, is Swedish store furniture building. It’s going so much better now that DH and I have “agreed” that I am best at doing this and need to be the gaffer. This study WILL get finished and he WILL move his office out of the dining room…
I had a lovely couple of hours with DD in the week as she made a flying visit home, mainly to collect boxes of hm food for her freezer! Lovely to see her and I think she is enjoying her freedom. After the last year, and especially from where we were this time last year when we thought we had beaten this wretched disease, I worry so much, but she needs her freedom and fun.
Sorry, I have read through, but brain is like mush. Lovely flowers as always, Narc0, you did your friend proud. Hugs to all, and gws vibes to those who need them xx10 -
I have spent the morning sorting a corner of doom which has quietly grown in a corner of our living room. There are many more around but I have concentrated on this one. I have filed all of my application forms which have been unsuccessful. I need another folder for live ones, for now I have them in separate piles on the unit. I have completed a bag of shredding whilst DH was trying to watch a football program, whoops 😬.10

much love Suffolksue xx
I feel like pap.. I hate the world (because it grew people) OH (for bringing home germs) the children (for contiuing to spread germs) the cats (because the first thing I have been able to smell in a week is their droppings) the outside (it is peopley and cold) shopping (peopley and boring) coughing and sneezing (bodies are vile) ... I maybe need to be taken out back and shot!! The world needs putting out of my misery!
Love and hugs to you all and for the record, I am not at all nice when unwell.

Fayolle lovely to hear things are going well for DD, you never stop worrying about them and the thought of them getting poorly again never completely goes away does it.
Havent seem much of DS1 lately then he rang me yesterday and said he was on his way to pick me up to take me with him to go and buy some smart clothes for work, which was really nice.
DH is suffering with his back, we have taken some cardboard to the recycling and stopped on the way back to do a very gentle 2 mile walk, then called at Li@l with a list of essentials.
Like Round I laid in bed this morning thinking about the flying that needs doing, but none of it has actually got sorted today. I do need to catch up a bit tomorrow.
Pigpen I think you have every right to be p'd off with the world!

Morning all xx
Valli - I woke up at some point in the night wondering if there were any bourbons in the WAC biscuit tin. Then went back to sleep. I hope you got more sleep too. Get well soon wishes heading your way ❤
Piggers - get well soon wishes heading your way too my lovely ❤
Glorious sunrise this morning- hmm red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning. I wonder 🤔 if we're in for a storm?
I'm up, my bed is made and first brew has been supped. Second brew, toast and F1 qualifying on telly, then I'll get dressed and pop round to see Pops and Babs 🙂
DB has been diagnosed with diabetes type 2 and signed off work until they get his blood sugar levels down. They think that's what's affecting his eyes.
I really need to get some chubbage off or it'll be next. Timely reminder maybe - I'm already aware that my weight is causing me problems le puff, le wheeze. Slinky mode/ mindset being dusted off - le cough, le sneeze 🤣
Ooo F1 starting ....I already know the result, my favourite driver is 19th on the grid 🤔, but my favourite team are in the mix woot woot.
Have a good day

Morning all
Restless night, and wide awake at 5am but I made myself stay in bed a bit longer. It is supposed to be dry until 10am and its quite breezy so I hung the washing out, and it started raining almost immediately.
Hope everyone with colds and other lurgies are feeling better soon.
Wet day forecast, there is flying to do and some paperwork to sort and file, none of which I feel motivated to do.10
