    Hello Forkers.  We’ve been to town food shopping and now I’m exhausted. 🙄

    Time for a flop.  We were greeted by another cloud as we drove up to the house …


    No prizes for guessing this time. I’m poodle crazy, so I’m biased. 

    lol,even I saw a poodle

    Morning all.

    I'm hoping the plumbers will finish the bathroom today but the septic tank seems to be blocking up again. There must be a problem in the pipes, maybe leaking so the water doesn't flush through.

    Hi

    Happy Birthday @D0rdogne_Damsel.

    Terrible night here, had a panic attack and ended up wandering around the garden in the cold, wearing very few clothes, not sensible, buy I have calmed down now and am back in bed.

    Oh ‘eck @punkdoc 🤗 that’s not much fun. Take it steady … I’m trying to keep away from news and politics as much as I can. I find it’s stressing even me out resulting in dreams that make me anxious … my world was coming to an end at 4am this morning ‘cos Id not descaled the kettle to Ma’s satisfaction!!!  Now I’m awake I don’t think she ever descaled a kettle in her life …. but I’m still left feeling a bit anxious for no good reason. Not comparable with you of course, but if the world is making even stoic stolid pragmatic me get stressy dog knows what it’s doing to the rest of you xx

    It's a stressy type of world though isn't it Dove. Everywhere is trouble and strife and the past two years we've had has been beyond anything most of us has ever known. I firmly believe we've turned the corner though and spring will soon be here.

    :/ It is @Uff … and I feel that I’ve had it particularly easy … OH was furloughed for a considerable time and we’ve been able to live our lives without going out into the throng. He’s taken particular care to keep me well bless him.  But it’s been tough on my family … Wonky is self employed so has been out there working all the time getting what work she can and worrying about her husband who is vulnerable, and as a freelancer my son was without any income at all for 18 months … then of course my brother is very vulnerable due to his illness. It’s been a tough old time for so many. The @punkdoc family have had huge stresses to cope with.

    Yes I too have had an easy time of it and basically, I just shut myself away, being that 'certain age group' but I know that others have had it very tough indeed and my heart goes out to them when I hear of their problems including my own family.
