    Hi folks,  Sorry I haven't been around for a while but it's been a bit of a difficult time on lot of fronts.  I have been struggling with gall bladder pain and been feeling depressed about lot of things.  I have had my medication altered and have started a very low fat diet and feel a bit better now.  Hubby is doing OK but I'm finding it a bit of a challenge to cope with his loss of speech and his 'new habits'  I feel guilty about my feelings and know I should just be grateful that he is OK.  Earlier in the year one of Merri's friends lost her mum to liver failure and now her best friend's mum has died of Covid after being on a ventilator for a number of weeks, at the moment the problems just seem never ending.  Sorry for moaning and I promise to try and be a bit more cheerful.
    Hugs @Hostafan1

    Happy anniversary @Obelixx, I hope you both had a lovely day 

    Sorry things have been ganging up on you @Yviestevie, I find problems come in way more than threes! Sending hugs

    Glad it's been a good day off @AuntyRach

    Having done my back in again,  I'm now confined to the first room as it appears to be the marital mattress that's making it worse again!! It's only 2 years old!!
    I still managed to make 2 moussaka and a quiche, wash up and do my ironing work but in agony all the same. 

    Sending @Hostafan1 lots of hugs and lullabies to send you to sleep,  not my singing obviously as it would have the reverse effect!!

    And congratulations to @punkdoc and Moira on the banishing of your horrendous neighbours!!

    Good evening all.

    The journey has been OK, thank you for all your good wishes. I'm now at Daughter 1's, south of Poitiers. I tried to type on my mobile but it has French spell cheque which makes it very difficult. Most of what's on my phone is English but the man in the Orange shop couldn't change spellcheck. I've unpacked my Laptop.

    We had dinner on the terrace, dark comes later here as France is an hour ahead. Home tomorrow afternoon. Wish OH was with me, as had been planned. I stayed with his daughter and family last night in Eastbourne. Caught the Newhaven/Dieppe ferry.

    I'm sorry things haven't been easy @Yviestevie.You've had a hard time recently.

    I hope you’ve had an enjoyable day @Obelixx.

    Sorry to hear about all the tough times you are having @Yviestevie

    RIP little hedgehog. 

    If you have clear skies, the full moon is delightful tonight - a Blue Moon. 

    Take care all and here’s to a good sleep everyone  (I need to switch to working week sleep/wake cycle pronto).
