Will do, as long as it takes. A hug for you too.

Life for me has been a struggle, but I always felt fortunate to have what I have, and even more so that the world is how it is today. The benefits.. that struggle made me a strong person. I am comfortable now, but quite often feel guilty being so. xoxo

Stress and anxiety can be as hard as depression Polly, and can make physical illness worse or even cause it, probably don't have to tell anyone that. Once you realize it though, and try to tweak how you think, it can be a game changer. So easy to get stuck and play over the intrusive thoughts that are negative, it almost becomes habit as a coping skill...I had to learn this myself. The brain is a tricky! Have you considered cognitive therapy as a way to help? I too want to see you have happier days. Hugs

Another sunny but chilly morning. Beautiful blue sky! I've been working in the garden, it was ignored for almost 4 years and I'm bringing it back to life. So surprising to see things I'd thought I'd lost coming back! As I work, ideas start popping into my head on what to plant and small changes to make. DH and I did everything together and I miss him, it takes much more time and energy for me to do it myself... but I have a vision on how I'd like to make it mine. Doing more veggies this year. A small new area I had dug up by a back hoe last year will be planted with all different types of sunflowers until I can amend the soil properly.
Max and I are off for our walk now.. have a good Wednesday sisters. xoxo

I’ve had a busy day. Cassie came at 8.45am for me and she’s been good today, bless her. She thinks her partner might be out of work at the weekend, so that will mean no money coming in, it’s a worry. I went into Karen’s for a chocolate and left her to it. Andrew went down to the beach with Brie.its not just cold here, it’s freezing cold. We are getting same weather as last year where we live. Snow is forecast for the weekend.


One of the carers who went to Wendy’s I knew of her. Her mother in law, Sheila used to run that little bingo on a Tuesday afternoon before she died. Can you remember the carry on wee had with that. Hahaha…guaranteed two hours of giggle. And all for $1 a line and $2 full board. Hahaha. Oh they were the days. It’s a small world. 🌎


When I left Wendy’s I called at Asda for a couple of things as I’m running low, and Karen wanted a bottle of ribena. I had two bags of stuff, so when I eventually got home 🏡 I gave Andrew a ring and he came for his drink and carried my bags into the kitchen for me. I’d be lost without Karen, Andrew, Margret and John. I’ve very good neighbours and friends. I’m a bit off balance today, it’s the thought of shopping 🛍️ haha. Doubt I won’t get Stephen shopping this weekend, he’s not due home until late Saturday night. His body clock will be way out because there’s eight hours difference, he may want to sleep after. 16hr flight. He’s crazy if he goes into work on Monday, but he IS stupid, but his dad was, work used to come first in this house 🏠 better than being lazy I suppose.


I’ve treated myself to some Cadbury dark ice cream lolly’s. I’m going to have one now, and catch up on here. I hope I don’t lose this message. Stay safe, luv yawl, look out for each other. Try to stay calm and find your inner soul….love yawl.

I was happy for a minute then I got home and the heater wasn’t working nor the air conditioner. I called and they said bring it back tomorrow. Then I got a photo from the man who uses my garage. There is a board came off the garage roof. He can’t get the key to the garage to work and we took ours to him it didn’t work either. He will replace it. Then we went to go to get gas and a motor symbol came on the dashboard. I got so scared I drove right home not shopping at bj. I can’t get one job done but another pops up. So discouraged. Well tomorrow it may be corrected. I hope.
