Sad Oma, as you say, another covid casualty.

[Lizzie48]

We have had lovely weather after a misty start. I went to DS2 and partner for lunch, they have got the skylights fitted, at last! It is a slate tiled roof and builders were saying it was extra work etc, a neighbour that has the same roof helped him last weekend and he said it wasn't much work at all, he has helped with a tiled roof and said that was more work, I told him I am proud of all he has done himself, he is not one for receiving compliments but I did mean it. He works to perfection! He has made a cupboard under the stairs, all fitted and finished off really well. He said that he could be quicker, I told him that Rome wasn't built in a day! He often works a few days a week with decorators/builders so has learnt a lot from them, they have helped him as well. They spray walls, they have done the room there and it looks good. When the upstairs is finished they will do that as well. I had hoped that GD's would go with me but one was at a friends and the other had a lot of homework to do.

I have got my first photo album finished and ordered, I just hope all goes well!

DIL gave me a special cushion for between my legs in bed, the physio said it would be better to use one and it will stop the pain.

I have seen those between the knees cushions on TV Lizzie. I hope it helps.

I had a nice day with GD and GS2 here. Always lots of fun with GS2!
We are having fish and chips for tea (OH has gone to collect them) and an evening of TV.

[Oma]

I was looking at those cushions Lizzie but i toss and turn a lot and my favoured position to sleep is on my stomach , not that i can do that at the minute with my shoulder but i know a cushion would end up on the floor ,
Hope it works for you though ,

Gem we have just had home made fish and chips and mushy peas for tea

GS 1 has brought a Sax home from school , DD said he has already learned a tune but its very loud

Gem i bet the children had a really good time at Grandmas

Spent some time on the phone to Clare , she's very sad but ok feels like she's been on a roller coaster the past few days , like my brother the news on him changed from hour to hour .
I managed to get her laughing before i hung up , we laughed about some of the things he did at her and Martins wedding last year, he was so funny and quite the flirt , he even had B's Mam giggling like a girl

Social workers are next door again she's having another episode , they getting more frequent , its only been two weeks since she came out of Hospital .

Oma, such sad news about SIL grandad. Another victim of this nasty virus.

Lizzie dad used to have one of those between the knee cushion. He needed it because he had lost so much weight his knees had become sore where they touched at night.

[Lizzie48]

Mimi, the physio said it will stop the muscles from straining, when I had knee problems I used one then. I made one then, this one is all shaped for comfort😉 Oma, I have shoulder problems, when it was really painful I had a cushion in my bed to stop me turning over onto it. After physio, exercise etc it is much better, when my physio made an ultra sound he said my shoulder was so warn I could have been a lumberjack! I cried all the way home😢

[Oma]

Ambulance and Police just taken Neighbour back to Hospital , i thought it would happen tonight , she knocked on my window earlier and when i went to the door she wasnt making sense and dancing on the drive , its so sad she really needs to be where they can care for her

Good morning. Windy this morning. I think heavy rain is expected.
Supermarket shopping today. Don't know if we are going this morning or this afternoon.
Remember ladies the clocks change this weekend.

[Gemini]

Good morning all.

Nan2, thanks for you clocks reminder.
Something needed to be done about your neighbour Oma

A dull morning here. No plans for us at the moment, we will see what the day holds.

Take care everyone, Have good day, keep safe.

[Gemini]

Another test photo. This seemed to work Daisy

[Daisy]

Good morning, everyone. Dull and cloudy here, but there's a glimmer of lightness in the sky, so fingers crossed it stays dry.

Gem - I'm sorry, we can't see your photos. I can see my own on the Hedgehog thread ok. I'll try another photo from a different source:

[Gemini]

No Daisy, nothing showing. It seems we can all see our own photos, but they are invisible to anyone else!

[Oma]

Good morning ladies ,
Sounds like a glitch in the photo dept ladies

Was in Morrisons for 8 this morning , only us and one other person apart from staff
Yes Gem we think she should be in assisted living , im always worried she will do something silly to herself , all i can do is ring her Mother & Father if i think she's not right again
Sad life she lives .

It's a dry morning so far but very cold and windy not a day to be in the garden and i really wanted to get the leaves up today , never mind there are still so many to come down anyway ,

How are we all today ?

Nanto we were talking about the clocks this morning its the hassle of going around the house changing them then our watches i always forget mine

Have a good day ladies i will be back later xxx

[Plantaholic]

Very sad news Oma about your SIL's Grandad. I hope they decide to keep your neighbour safe in some sort of care home.

Very dull here but so far it is dry. DD and Sil are due back some time today. Still no news about completion on the flat the shed dwellers are buying. No plans for today, wore myself out yesterday.

Thanks for the reminders about the clocks, some of mine change themselves, must sort the heating clock out.

[Enfys]

Sad news Oma.

very dull and dreary here, DD just popped in for coffee on her way back from walking Dexter and she timed it just right as it’s now pouring with rain. I’m planning a day of sorting our my craft stuff, wool etc and getting on with the socks I’m knItting for DD.

I have a new well, refurbished phone, and DD has sorted it out for me so I can now listed to music, podcasts etc through it onto Alexas speakers 🙄. I’m befuddled. But she’s shown me what to do so now I’m down with the kids 🤪🤓🤣. Probably not, they’re all still way ahead of me but it’s a start.

I’ll write myself a note about the clocks, otherwise I might forget by the time it’s bedtime, thanks for the reminder.
