Plant it breaks your heart doesn't it.
There has to something seriously wrong with home life if sleeping rough is the only option.
I suppose mental health problems can drug addiction makes just go back home choices extremely difficult. Also home life isn't necessarily the safest place to be.
Its so sad that people's lives are so difficult

Oma, yes we had fish and chips today.
Shame about the mishap with the scones.
One minute the grandchildren are babies,the next minute they are so grown up.

Grauntie,so good to hear from you.

It was warm here earlier,but then it clouded over. Just had a little shower.

We don’t see a lot of this unless you go into the town. The reason I felt very upset seeing him was that he was so young.

After such a lovely warm day yesterday we now have rain. GD2 arriving by train this evening, DD out so I am going to meet her later. The bride and bridesmaids have a consultation with a hair and make-up female tomorrow.

[Nanto2girls]

Plant, won't be long now to the wedding.

We had rain from about 2.30 for a couple of hours.

[Nanto2girls]

Good morning. When i got up an hour ago,it was lovely,but its foggy now.

Only supermarket shopping today.

[Gemini]

Good morning Nan2. Hopefully the fog will lift and give you a sunny day!
Good morning everyone.

Mum was pleased to see OH yesterday. We told her we would take her to the coast when we were allowed, and that made her happy. GD was surprised when she went to get into the front of my car and OH was there!
DD and I had a lovely long chat when she collected the children. She is still so happy about us being able to hug each other again

We are going to a garden centre today. OH needs strimmer cord and some twine. I want to look at bedding plants.
This evening we are going to C and P's for a get together and join and online quiz they play each week.


Happy Saturday!

Good morning everyone. I didn't manage to get on here at all yesterday, but I'll catch up later. It was a busy day - I took Eva out for an early morning walk, which ended up taking a lot longer than planned. By the time I got back OH was ready and keen to get going to DS1's. They have a large metal shed in the garden which they've sold and it needed emptying quickly before the workmen start on their garden makeover. So it was all hands to the pump. DS was very brave, even though it meant evicting his beloved Lotus on to the drive to make room in the garage. I'm sure there's a lot of stuff they can get rid of, but the immediate problem was to empty the shed. We got back about 10.30 in the evening and we both fell into bed, shattered. The step count on my phone said about 15,000 steps, and today my legs ache!

I'm sure the grass here grew by inches yesterday, so I'll have to cut it before the family arrive tomorrow for a barbecue. The Sainsbury's order is booked for late this afternoon, so I hope they send everything! We're going round to some friends for dinner tonight, so another busy day.

I hope everyone is ok. xx

Gemini, I hope it will not be long before you can take your mum out.

Cloudy here, hope the sun breaks through. Might pop to garden centre but I really need to go with DD as we want to find some bedding plants to decorate the area we are going to use for the Hen Party. What to you advise for a Harry Potter theme?

We have only been supermarket shopping today
A few minutes after we got home,DS2 and his prtner paid us a visit.
It was lovely in the garden,sun was very warm.
Bit cloudier now.

[Gemini]

It was flipping boiling here this morning when we were at the garden centre with masks on!
Nice and sunny when we sat in the garden for lunch. Then a friend came to chat with us in the garden and it clouded over and was quite cool

[Oma]

Its been a beautiful day here , had a nice hour at the fete food fair then came home and pottered in the garden,
It was too hot to stay out too long

I have done a few jobs that I had put off like cleaning the kitchen and dinning room light fittings and hoovered the bedrooms,
but to be honest I feel too tired to do much a combination of very little sleep last night and heat we not used too .

Glamm I hope you had a nice time with your friend , lucky other Poppy getting all those leads and collars , better than throwing them away when they can still be used .

Gem did you get any plants ?

Nanto that was a nice surprise

[Plantaholic]
