Oh RUBY what an awful time you are having. I just cant imagine how your SIL must be feeling. My thoughts are with you all at this dreadful time xx"If you dream alone it will remain just a dream. But if we all dream together it will become reality"11

Morning all. Another bright sunny day, if a bit breezy.
Condolences RR, this is so sad.
Enjoy your break SunflO3r, I'll keep my fingers crossed for good weather for you.
I did the usual admin bits yesterday morning and then spent most of the afternoon in the kitchen making stuff for the freezer, including cauliflower cheese that we all seem to be making. I'm now in danger of running out of suitable containers!
This afternoon I'm meeting up for a coffee with a friend/ex-neighbour who I haven't seen for nearly two years. She moved away just before she retired but is here visiting her son and his family so she's doing a bit of a catch up with various people at the same time. It will be nice to do something "normal" for once.
Nothing much else planned for the weekend but I'm sure I'll find something to keep me out of mischief.
My thoughts go out to those who are feeling sad, worried or not well. Take care. XBe kind to others and to yourself too.12 -

I did not expect to manage to post again today, but simply had to drop by and send love and condolences to Ruby and her family after her very sad news. xxThe best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)8

Oh Ruby, how awful for her, it's just so senseless. Hugs to all your families.
