Afternoon girls, it’s been a beautiful autumn 🍂 day at 9C. I’ve been into Karen’s to get their new door key 🔑 to let Cassie in on Wednesday. Karen and Andrew are going to Surrey on Tuesday to Friday. Their son lives there. The gold medalist I often tell you about. He can’t come up at Christmas 🎅 so they are taking the gks Christmas presents 🎁. Of course we had to have a cup of chocolate while we chatted. Andrew was hinting that all we do is drink 🍺 chocolate 🍫. We just took no notice of him as we normally do….she’s got little else to do. New left arm is just about gone of use. And her hands are unable to straighten.
I got a text from Stephen to say he was going to the metro centre to shop with sue. They got stuck in a traffic accident line so have ended up only getting 3 hrs shopping 🛍 time. He went for his annual night out for Christmas and got a train to Newcastle. On the way back the train 🚂 was cancelled 😡, so they put him in a taxi and he got door to door 🚪 and got his ticket refunded. That was a good offer, because sue was going to have to pick him up from the station and bring him home. So all is good 😌. I’m hoping I get to see them this week. It’s nearly been a fortnight and that’s unusual for us, it they’ve like millions of others have shopping to do. I’ll see them next week. As long as everyone’s ok, that’s all that matters.
I’ve got my Christmas 🎄 lunch with the chat club on Tuesday. I’m looking forward to that. I hope Josephine is enjoying the lights at Windsor. I wish I was with them. Perhaps next door can take me on Tuesday when they go haha..and I’ll come home with them on Friday.I think it’s a good idea 👍. Seriously I wish all this madness would go away then I can get to see you all again.
Stay safe girls, do what you think is right for yourself, and I love yawl. Xx

A quiet day listening to good music by the wood stove. A friend turned me on to SimplyRed, awesome voice. Really beautiful song called "Holding On".
The wind is banging things around outside, should move some plant pots off the porch railing, hope I don't have to drag the generator outside tonight. xoxox

Jinx, you sounded like I felt the last couple of days….I was sick of feeling like it, but much better today…we sisters, use each other to bounce off. We understand each other and know we can say how we feel. I’ve got to get to a certain low before I come back up again……we sisters are here for you…..especially me. Xx

I may have said this before and I apologize if I have. Harold parked his Harley in the bank parking lot. When he came out he hopped on the bike and took off. After a mile or two he realized it was not his bike. He quickly went back to the bank. The owner of the other Harley was sitting there leaning against Harold's Harley laughing.
That must mean the keys are the same, like they are for John Deere tractors? I took the wrong coat home from work one time, finding the poor owners car keys in the pocket. The poor girl was stranded and stressed after a long night shift... I felt bad.
