It’s the little things that are so important eh @WonkyWomble 😘 I’m happy cos cosmos, Toms and chillies I sowed on Saturday (auspicious day!) are germinating ... little seed leaves popping up 🌱 🌱 🌱 Ive a feeling we may hear the 🍾 🥳 from here @chicky 😊

@WonkyWomble I have been embroidering too. Just finishing a new piece to get my eye back in, and then will complete a project I got halfway through and put down when Chicklet arrived. 23 years later and it is my mission to finish it. Had lost the pattern, but managed to find it (via google) and some nice lady from America has sent it to me. It arrived this morning ......big excitement 🥳
Good news about chicklet. Seems it never rains but it pours, mum fell in her flat yesterday, sustaining a head injury. She is now in hospital and I am awaiting news. Will it ever end? I know it will, but sometimes i wonder.
Don't like Boris, but wish him a speedy recovery, perhaps now some of the idiots will treat it a bit more seriously. Off outside to listen to the birds.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Sorry about your Mum, @punkdoc, but I hope she will be well looked after in hospital and the staff are kinder than where she lives.
I thought Boris looked awful too, on TV clapping. I feel very sorry for his partner who is also showing symptoms and is pregnant and living in a different house with the dog.

Lovely lady in America for sending you the pattern Chicky. I bet it brings back memories! Any idea where I can get good quality thread from please? I was after a bundle but the colours shown were not the same as the ones delivered!! Hobby craft sent me a birthday voucher but typically everything out of stock! Pdoc big wonky hugs. X
Sorry about your mum @punkdoc ... maybe the staff will take a bit more notice now ... they will have to record and investigate the cause and reassess. Hope she’s on the mend soon and getting the level of care she needs.

That is upsetting news @punkdoc but maybe now she'll have kinder care?
It's great to read how everyone is finding ways to get thru this but also understandable when we have our moments of despair or dread. maybe this will help - sent from a friend in the UK who saw it in a window.

Thank you all so much for your encouraging words of support. I feel a bit better today, I am continuing painting my 'smallest room' and have had my lunch sat out on my lovely sunny terrace. I took a photo this morning of a beautiful sunrise and sat here I can hear the birds singing and smell my heavenly hyacinths. It is all about being grateful for simple things. I think the contrast from my normal manic days, never alone, somebody always wanting me or needing to ask me something or dashing from the shops and the bank to get back in time to open for 10am is such a contrast to how it is now I think I am still in a bit of shock, anyway, ever onwards that is my motto.
Thinking of people with worries too, pleased to hear Chicklet is well and not long now until a reunion @chicky, sad news about you mum @punkdoc but as others have said maybe it might make things better in the end.
Anyway, here are a few of my pics. Hugs and best wishes to everyone (including Boris, well maybe not a hug ).

Take care everyone, particularly those with worries or tough times.
