Hello Grandy,
The mice seem to have eaten my post to you from yesterday.
Lass I so want to take that little Grandy in my arms & hold her tight & tell her she is safe. I love how you try to look for beauty in the world around you despite everything you have had to endure. You are such a lovely soul.
The stars are amazing in the country. I had forgotten how bright & close the night sky could be until I moved here. Being able to see the milky way stretching across the sky is wonderful, it wasn't visible where I previously lived.
How are your furs coping with the wintry blast. Woofa keeps going to the back door wanting to be let out, but when I open it he quickly changes his mind. He finally had to brave it last night as he had been holding on for over 24hrs & just couldn't hold any longer.
Ooooh home made vegetable soup..... yummmm..... just the thing for cold weather, I so wish I could make a decent one. I do an ok potato & leek home made soup, but can't seem to get the hang of a simple veg one.
Gentlest of hugs
Paws

I love seeing birdies upside down it looks so natural doesn't it. I remember Doolsy loving that too.
Lovely you're having some nice things to enjoy.
Ohh those stars we'll have to get Paws with us and the other lovelies on one of our veranda β¨ nights π€π€
Sounds like a good idea taking your pillow Grandy that' good thinking. I have that but undiagnosed. All the best with that you'll be ok huns π€ they'll look after you.
Thanks yes it might've been them doing maintenance.
So good the past few yrs you've felt a connection with nature. So much beauty and peace. The birdies singing trees water flowers animals insects rock formations it's all quite incredible.
Yes it's slowly starting to cool a bit here but yikes not to your degrees π€€ that' such a good feeling the cool on your face I know you love that. We π€could go for a πββοΈ oop nah I mean πΆπΌββοΈactually mine would be more π’ π
π funny you said about the magnifying glass π cause I found a tiny wee one from christmas crackers and have it on the table π I must put one there a bit bigger.
Yip they're good to do and it is satisfying.
Good you're playing games I know darl how hard it is to get motivated, you'll get there try not to feel pressured. Maybe we could think oh I want to do that.
You beautiful love that'd be really nice popping over for tea we'll be there in 2.4 secs... vrooom...and you know you were here for Roast Pork the other day.
Thank you beautiful very much it was yum. Always we love your company gorgeous.
Good healthy food well done sweets.

Hello Paws, Deebiπ©ββ€οΈβπβπ©...and everyone...π€..
Thank you Paws..I would like that as well...I so much miss being hugged.....
Nature cannot hurt us...like people can...I believe itβs their to heal us.. to teach us...and to show us through her trees, flowers, creatures, clouds, sky, the stars and moon....that the natural world is a really beautiful place to spend time in and to embrace her beauty and serenity...
My furs donβt want to go outside, they are right now snuggled up under the blanket I have over me as I lay on the lounge...They are warmer then my hot water bottle..π.
Deebi...The hospital pillows are covered with plastic, then a pillow slip...and it crackles with each time I moved my head last time I was their...I thought if Iβm allowed Iβll take mine...
I want to do a few things, then I start..after a few minutes, I canβt continue, no matter how hard I try....What am I doing it for..and why?...just to use up time?..better off sleeping itβs the same thing..using up time...lYes motivation is so *****hard..Iβm over even trying now..because I get no satisfaction from anything I do..
Donβt get me wrong..Iβm okay..not down just meh..and thatβs where my mh is most of the time...I really donβt think I know how to be any better then that...itβs been a long long time since Iβve genuinely felt happiness..Maybe I forget how it feels, or maybe Iβve never really felt it..idk..I canβt remember..
I wish I knew how people living alone can feel happy, how they do things and be satisfied with what they done..How they wake up alone and know what to do..instead of just sitting on the lounge and occasionally getting up to make a cuppa..How they enjoy cooking and then eating on their own..(sigh)..Just letting out my boredom sorry...
I hope your all okay...and todayβs good to you all..
Love you Deebi...π¦ππ€..π»π€..wiwawyip..pubaok...sss.
Love, care and hugs to you Paws and everyone..π¦ππ€.

Hugs are soul food hun aren't they. Here's unlimited ones with warmth love and care sweetyheart π€
Very well said about nature Grandy it is spectacular. So much variety and beauty we're very lucky where we landed aren't we.
Ahh y/our gorgeous furs my/our little tiny's are so soft warm and cuddly too.
I know that noise with the pillows and they have no give. Good idea taking your own. Can't imagine it being an issue but I don't know.
π€ darlin how sad you feel that way about doing things. It' like a vice or a massive wall isn't it.
I've found a feeling of satisfaction in the past when I've eventually done something I've wanted to for a decade. It is incredibly hard you dear sweet lady it's awful you feel that way π
Just meh π€ it's better than being down but not enough hun. I so want you to find happiness and to know the freedom of peace and feeling alive. I mean it you really do deserve that honey you're such a beautiful kind caring soul. Your turn for that back.
Truly Grandy love don't ever feel sorry for saying how you feel.
We're here for you darlin.
To listen and be the best kind of friend we can for you like you are for us.
I really do understand what you're saying π€π
I was there too.
It's not much of an existance is it honeyheart.
I think until we start to accept and like ourselves even a bit it continues to be hard because we're with ourselves all of our lives, every second.
If you saw in yourself what we do you'd be so much better I reckon sweet π
I too sweetyheart wish π. Hope is a small glimmer of light.
Love and care very much Grandy darling lady you mean so much. PubAok lysvm yAdimh π―β¨

Hi Grandy
Apart from saying I hope you are well and keeping warm, I just have a very quick thought - do you know that using 50-50 vinegar (double strength if you can get it) and dishwashing detergent is very good for spraying weeds ! Although you do need to do it more often, the best part is that itβs non-toxic.
hugs to you Grandy, Cala

Hello Deebiπ©ββ€οΈβπβπ©...and Cala.πΉ....π€..
CalaπΉ.....Thank you so very much..Iβll try those ideas, as I have dogs that love to play on the grass, I have just been mowing them...I will give both a try..the front Iβll use the dishwashing detergent as my front yard is a lot smaller then the back...Iβll use the vinegar outback.....Iβm tied of mowing..
Deebiπ©ββ€οΈβπβπ©...Iβm pleased they have postponed the sleep study for a whileπ...until the restrictions are lifted..
The water needs boiling again...I donβt drink my town water..I usually go to the next town with 3 large water bottles and fill them their for cooking and hot drinks...I buy water for drinking...I was lucky because of the heavy rain collected rain water in the bottles...I felt pleased with myself for doing that....
I need to go to town today...to get something...I get annoyed when I go into town now..my WW supporter sees me as I have to pass her house, which is high up on a hill...She might sit on her veranda and count cars...I donβt know why it annoys me but it does...I have only been 2 times since isolation started..this will be my 3rd...
I hope you all have a good day today...and I hope you are all doing good...
Love you deeply Deebi...sss yadimh always π...π¦ππ»π€..
Much love, care, and hugs everyone..ππ¦π€..

Hiya bbff π©ββ€οΈβπ© and everyone πβΊ
Always wondering how you are Grandy hun so nice hearing from you.
Yip I imagine it's a pretty big relief the sleep clinic π΄ when the time comes it'll be over before you know it.
Geez a lot of mucking around for water lovey but glad you're safe doing what you do.
Ahh that's a shame it annoys you about ww seeing you. I wonder if it makes you feel restricted in a way or your privacy's a bit encroached on. I felt that way with a neighbour yrs ago everytime we'd go somewhere he was there. Good bloke though it was annoying.
Hope your day was good huns and you got what you needed. Sometimes a change of scenery can be uplifting too. Something different in your day.
π I'm always happy thinking about things we've laughed about & done here. Never fails to make me smile when I was thinking again about your gorgeous furs looking at you and you putting a bubble on their noses and they take off running around the house.
Ok my beautiful sss bbff you're always in my π― sweetyheart with so much love and care. You're a beautiful loving caring friend gorgeous lady please take really good care. You mean so much. A very special place in my heart bbff π©ββ€οΈβπ©ππΌ
