I'm glad your test was negative @chicky, I hope you feel better each day.
Yesterday OH said the tests seemed to go OK but he has to see the Consultant next week for the results. Parking was a bit of a nightmare, all the disabled places were taken, I had to drop him then look for a space. All the parks were full but I managed to find spaces in the staff car park and got away with it. We seem to be in a permanent state of waiting.

Hi Folks, Get well soon @Chicky. I too am feeling very down about Ukraine. We sent a donation to the red cross last night but it just doesn't feel that we are doing enough. I'm off to pick up the boys from school in a minute, luckily it has stopped raining and the sun is trying to break though. I'm hoping the rain holds off over the weekend so I can get out in the garden. Have a good day everyone whatever you are up to.
Hello folks, so glad you're feeling better @chicky. Hope @Yviestevie feels better soon as well.
Fingers crossed @Busy-Lizzie - again! Your poor OH seems to spend his life waiting for one medical appointment after another and it must be hard for you too. I haven't yet managed to get my OH to go private for his op despite his worsening condition.
It's been quite nice and sunny so I've been able to dig up the first of three box ball stumps. Trying to be sensible and restricting myself to doing one per day to protect my back and increasingly my hands/fingers. They haven't ached like this before when gardening, must be gripping the tools for an hour or so that does it.
DIL left early this morning but will be back again next week. Her husband (my son) is however arriving tomorrow as Bath Rugby is playing at home. Talk about hot-bedding! It will be great to see him however and I have a cunning plan - he can help us lift the arbour back into place in the front garden. Tall, strong sons have their uses.
We've just donated to the Ukraine appeal as well, seems the least we can do. Appalled that the Russians shelled the nuclear plant last night, just beggars belief.
Bright and sunny here and 12C in a sunny spot but flipping parky in the northerly wind. SM raid done this morning and then lunch out followed by X-days - front, back, sideways, bent, straight and sitting. Very thorough but so hot I started feeling sleepy with all the waiting before and after. I reckon hospitals could save some serious money just by dropping the temperature a couple of degrees in their outpatient areas.
Too late to paint anything now so some other form of pottering in view for me. Maybe some homework for Monday's patch.
Hope OH's results are good @Busy-Lizzie. I have my X-rays but not the analysis yet. It seems my GP has retired but has been replaced which is a relief.
Lots of rest @chicky!! Don't want long covid with spring on its way.
That's very heartening, Obelixx. Yes, @chicky I'm glad you are starting to feel better. It rained all morning here, so I did some shopping and as it's now dry, I will do an hour or so tidying in the garden and filling the bird feeders, again!
I'm feeling rather cross with my French bank. I've tried 3 times to donate to the French Red Cross for Ukraine using my card online and each time the bank has refused the payment. I've sent them PM but they don't work at weekends.
A local friend from church has just popped round with a bunch of daffodils, a nice surprise.

Ukrainian refugees have arrived in the Vendée and are being welcomed and housed by a local Vendée-Ukraine association that already helped with children of Chernobyl.  They have enough hosts for now but we'll put our names down for later arrivals.  Collections of clothes and blankets at all the local mairies. Small things but every little helps.Â

Spent hours in the garden today - the first proper gardening day of the year! I must say it’s very uplifting to make a start.Â
