I'm so sorry Nan2 xxxxxxx

[Nanto2girls]

Thank you for all the kind comments. It's just a waiting game now.

[Daisy]

I think living alone is very hard, especially when you are thrown into a 'social' situation. It sounds odd - you'd think you'd be delighted to have company. Even though I'm lucky enough not to be on my own I find socialising since the lockdowns is exhausting. I mentioned the other day about DS2's neighbour who has lost the ability to co-ordinate brain and voice properly because he's been on his own throughout Covid. That must be awful.

Clover - I'm glad you're safely home, but it must feel quiet after being with your DD and family. I hope you can get out a bit and perhaps challenge yourself to a new interest or hobby of some kind. Would you be interested in volunteering in some way? All charities always seem to be in need, and never more so than now. I'm sure your GD's hair looks amazing. I'd love to do my in streaks of soft pastel colours but when I mentioned it to OH he was genuinely horrified. So much so that I quietly abandoned the idea.

Oma - I'm sure you look great with ginger hair! What does B think?

Enfys - you've had a lot going on recently with Covid in the family and your DD's fall. How is she now? Yes, definitely stick with the Knit and Natter group. It sounds counter-intuitive, but have you tried asking her questions? If you can direct her chatter a bit it might not feel so tiring.

Plant - I'm pleased to hear you're feeling more like yourself again.

Glamm - poor you - back pain is exhausting. Every movement hurts. Do take care. I'd love to see a photo of your pink hair - as I said above I'd like to colour mine.

Nanto - I'm so sorry to hear about your FIL. It all seems to have come on very suddenly, and it does sound as though he's had enough, poor man. He's so lucky to have you and your OH on hand. Are you allowed to visit? Sending hugs. xxx

[Oma]

Daisy he laughed but does like it , my DD said it is chocolate just chocolate orange

Nanto sending hugs xx

Nanto, so sorry to hear about your Fil, what a worry for you all. Poor man he must feel very poorly, I hope the medics can make him comfortable

Oma, hair colour sounds quite fetching,

[Nanto2girls]

Morning.
Dad died at 8.50 last night.
He got his wish. He wanted to go.

[Gemini]

Good morning ladies

Dear Nan2, my sympathy to you all. I know that you know it is what your dear FIL wanted, so take comfort in that. Thank goodness it was quick in the end and he didn't have to spend many days or longer in hospital.


A friend is coming over late this morning and spending the day here.
I hope everyone is well today.

[Nanto2girls]

We are glad he didn't linger. We had been with him about half an hour and we were talking with him. A few seconds later he was gone.

[Gemini]

It sounds peaceful Nan2 xxxxxx

[Daisy]

Nanto - I'm so sorry, but I'm glad you were with him, and as Gem says, it sounds as though he was peaceful and ready to leave you. Love and sympathy to your OH as well. xx

[Daisy]

Good mroning, everyone, on a sad day for our lovely Nanto.

We are off to DS1's today - it was GS2's 17th birthday on Friday. I hope everyone is ok. xx

[Lizzie48]

Good morning, the fog has gone at last. Nanto, your FIL was a very good age and slipped away peacefully.xx

Oma, will your chocolate orange rinse out.?

I was chatting to BIL's DS2 yesterday, he said he can't understand his father at all, he has just given up on life! He told me his mother told him that his father would never manage on his own, she was right. He is now at DS1 in Alnwick and the plan is to find him sheltered accommodation.

Daisy, enjoy your visiting and you enjoy the visitor Gem.

GD2 is coming anytime then we are going to DS2 for lunch. If my car starts that is.

[Oma]

Good morning ladies ,

Nanto sorry to hear about FIL but you know he went peacefully and its what he wanted ,
Im sure he was missing MIL and didn't want to be without her ,
How is your OH is he ok ? xx

Lizzie yes it's just a 24 wash one, they usually last a little longer but I quite like it I don't look as dreary ,
although having dark eyebrows it's obvious its not my natural colour

My GS2 is this colour and he is my double , its more so now

Did a clean through downstairs this morning , couldn't be bothered to do upstairs

I gave the bathroom a clean after we had our showers so I will do bedrooms after lunch when I get a bit more energy ,
To be honest they don't need doing I dust every day its just my routine rather than needing it

I hope we are all ok enjoy your day ladies whatever you are doing and again big hugs Nanto xxxx

Nanto, I am sorry to hear the news of your Fil, pleased to hear you were able to be with him.

When I worked Oma I used to be a devil for routine but since I retired I am much more relaxed at when jobs get done when I feel they need, it unless the garden is beckoning. I am a very tidy person though. Tomorrow I go to the hospital for them to assess this crusty lump on my hand, not looking forward to it but will be pleased to have it removed. Went up to the pond to feed the ducks yesterday, didn’t stay long, it was so cold but people were buying take-away coffees from the cafe and some were sitting and chatting.

Daisy, I hope the traffic for your journey isn’t too heavy and that you have a lovely day with the family Has your DS got any jobs planned for your OH

Gemini, have a lovely day with your friend.
