The rain has perked everything up, it's lovely x

My pleasure 😘

I do love my blue and white stuff

Pink cosmos, marigolds, verbena and foliage in a blue and white jug

Some flowers from the garden 🌱😁

Happy birthday, have a lovely day 🎉⚘️🌟

I've never really watched them so I don't know, but this pattern does date from the 70s.

It's amazingly cheerful 😁

I'll have a look, thanks Sarah x

Thank you 😘

I know, that's why the pattern appealed to me when I saw it on vinted 😁

I'm so lucky. Fortunately it stays pretty green throughout winter so it's a nice view all year round x

A striped crochet cardi in very bright colours laid out and pinned on a blocking board

I'm lightly blocking the stripey cardi. Its brightness really makes me smile 😁🧶

Thank you x

You too. Fingers crossed it continues because I really don't want to take more medication x

Thank you x

Trees and shrubs against a watery blue sky.

Today it's a bit dull and quiet but that suits me fine. I've a fridge full of lovely food, and I'm knitting and keeping peaceful. I've decided to check my BP each day, and I think it's dropping which if this continues is very good news 😁

Sleep well Sarah, kindness is a vastly underrated quality in today's world but oh goodness it makes all the difference, doesn't it ❤️

Thank you Sarah. It's been a soul destroying 18 months in many different ways, but finally I can see a future and it makes me very happy to feel, finally, that my future is within my control, and that I can make plans. Having you there has made such a difference, a loving goodnight held me together

If I were close by i would cook you chicken (or lentil) soup, put peaceful piano music on and stroke your hair infront of a hearty real fire, until you calmed and slept x

You've gone through some horrible and very exhausting times recently, you are bound to feel low. I hope you find a way to treat yourself today, and to rest, you deserve it ❤️

That doesn't seem very fair. Are the instructions too confusing or has it been set up wrongly? I hope it gets sorted soon xx

I'm so sorry, sending you love and strength xx

Yes, time and choices are what anyone needs for sanity, thank you xx

Thank you ❤️

Thanks Fiona, it's been a relentless year or so, but I've some time now to reassess and make plans for the future xx

Thank you xx

Thank you! I just feel like letting out a massive phew!!! and then sleeping for 3 days 😁

Thank you 😘

Me too, but the cortisol level is sinking and I'm a bit que sera, sera, at the moment so I will live with what they deliver. I've some excellent parmesan in the fridge x

Thank you so much! I really worried that I didn't have the strength to endure it, but thankfully I did, and now, I have time to slowly deal with the other problems without worrying about money etc xx

Thank you. It's a blessed relief, now I can take time to mend after these awful stresses put upon me xx
