I'm still here.
Struggling a little with a touch of the black dog but I am not going to complain about that as I am so much better off than those who are suffering elsewhere here and across the world.
How are you all? How are you all coping with the lockdown?
I must admit that I am ready for everything to get back to normal as I have mostly been stuck at home since I came out of hospital at the beginning of March but it doesn't look like that is going to be anytime soon.
DD's office has been split into two groups working two days on and two days off and I can't get my head round it so when she is off I think it's the weekend. I just never know what day it is.....lol.
Sadly I can't do my cross stitch at the moment (I have tried and managed five stitches so far) so after a walk around the block I seem to spend much of the time watching ccokery and DIY programmes on Freeview. I think soon though I shall have to find something else to do as I am now starting to see repeats.
I wish you all a Happy Easter.

Good Morning!!!
Thank you all for such a warm welcome when I posted last week.
I had intended to post every couple of days but that proved to be a little harder than I expected. Who knew that just sitting at the computer typing would be so difficult? But a week on and I am still improving slowly....still a bit woolly headed and still weak on my right side but I have managed to cook with Andy's help and have managed to use a knife without injuring myself so that is something.
Anyway enough about me........how are you all coping being on lockdown? Are you all managing to get everything you need?
It's very scary isn't it. I hate not being able to see The Doodles but we talk on the phone regularly. I dread the phone bill when it next comes.
Right well I'll try not to leave it so long next time.
Stay safe.

Hello!!!
Good morning all my lovely blogging friends.
I just wanted to come on here to thank you all for your lovely messages when I was taken ill.
I am getting better every day and can now walk again and have regained much of the use of my right hand side.
My speech is still affected and I still can't write but at least I can type....albeit it slowly.
I'm trying to read blogs but I can only manage one or two a day as find reading very tiring but I'll get there.
Anyway...I hope you are all staying safe and well in this crises and that you have everything you need.
Be back soon.

Good Morning to my Mum's blogger friends.
Just to let you all know that my Mum suffered a small stroke on Sunday evening and has spent the last couple of days and nights in hospital. She is now at home and being looked after by us. She is having some difficulty with speech and has some paralysis on her right side so will not be blogging for a little while. I will try and keep you informed as best I can inbetween caring for Mum and work. She is improving in tiny amounts each day but tires quickly but other than that is in generally good spirits and her sense of humour is fully intact. She tells me the highlight of her stay in hospital was that the nurse who gave her a bed bath was fairly good looking chap and the food wasn't too bad either.
Kindest Regards

Just Stop It Now!!!
Woke up to an absolutely vile morning this morning.
Thrashing it down with rain and snow at the same time and unfortunately we had got to go into town.
The road there....although very wet was fine but coming back the flood water was starting to close over the road. We managed to get through but as the rain has continued to lash down since we got in I should imagine that it's now completely flooded and will be in another couple of places too.
We were so cold when we got in that the heating went on and comfort food was needed to warm us up. Slices of sourdough bread were filled with cheese and rhubarb and ginger chutney and toasted until golden brown and oozing. Oh my word it was so good. Not something to be eaten every day but jolly good as a reward for braving that weather.
I'll be glad when it all stops and we get some decent days for a change.
Worked towards the end of my cross stitch project last night but didn't quite finish as my fingers were getting achy. Just the bottom border to finish which will get done shortly and I can then kit up for my next one.
More comfort food for tea....Hash Jacket Potatoes with pickled beetroot and then snuggling on the sofa for season two of Last Tango In Halifax......bliss.
Hope you are all safe and warm.
