    Glad your neck’s on the mend @Yviestevie 😊 
    mine’s better than it was but I made it sore again by doing too much pricking out. šŸ™„ Thinking of your Mum ((hugs)) and also thinking of the @punkdoc family ((hugs))

    @Dovefromabove I had one of those heat patches on it all day yesterday and it really helped.Ā  I still don't have full movement but it's certainly better than yesterday.Ā  I moved some bags of compost today so I'm hoping it's still OK in the morning.

    We’ve used all ours šŸ™„ ... I’ll have to get OH to pick some more up next week when he goes to get my prescription... he’d trying not to go shopping very often. A hot shower in the morning is helping, and a bit of a massage. šŸ‘Ā

    Thanks for asking @Yviestevie, still struggling to get mum sorted, but not getting very far.
    How can you lie there and think of England

    @punkdoc my neice is having problems with her mum in law.Ā  She suffers with dementia and my neice's hubby goes round to help her while they are trying to get a care package for her. He's still having to go round even though he works for the prison service and my neice is a front line nurse who is recovering from Covid.Ā  There is no-one else and they can't get any sort of help at the moment.

    Evening. Hope all are ok, particularly those with ailments or worries.Ā 

    Just had a homemade curry so putting feet up now. Tired now as had plenty of fresh air in the garden today - it was a tad chilly out of the sun but refreshing and relaxing.Ā

    I'm tired as well , did a stint earlier in the school garden I look after. I haven't been since Feb because of the incessant rain and then having to catch up in my own garden - which has taken the best part of April to tidy up. The school garden was of course rather overgrown, the brambles are beginning to take over as there is a very old established patch between a wall and the inside school hedge - impossible to eradicate where it is.

    Will try and go again tomorrow but am reluctantly thinking it's time to give up. I'm been doing it on my own for the last five years and it's getting too much for me to cope with, my joints keep protesting! A shame as I poured my heart into that garden, it was such a tragedy when the little girl was killed in the lorry crash.Ā 
    Time for someone new to take over now.

    Such a worry for people with parents in care homes. Bad enough at the best of times when parents need looking after.

    That Lemon Dream clematis looks gorgeous @Fairygirl, I looked it up.

    We went to collect our shopping from Morrisons today. As usual they didn't supply it all so I had to go into the store again, wore a mask, not many people in there. We eat fish about 3 times a week and the only fresh fish they delivered was smoked haddock which I hadn't ordered. They had all the fish I wanted in the store. Also my face cream which wasn't with my order. I'd been using an alternative which stings my eyes so I was relieved to see the right one on the shelf. Still no flour or hand sanitiser.

    Hello Forkers. I’m a bit confused today. I slept until 1pm. Hubby can’t stop laughing. šŸ™ƒ
    that’s never happened before. Hubby’s comment was that I must have needed it. I feel well, so who knows what’s going on. Maybe my late night reading is catching up.Ā 

    Another sunny day with freezing winds outside, so no wonder I was snuggled down under the doona.Ā 

    Now - what to do today ???Ā 

    Hope everyone is ok. Ā  Come on Obelixx, we’re worried about you.Ā
