    @Snowflake1968 So pleased to see your post. It must be such a difficult and worrying time for you both. I also miss my girls and their families, but am so grateful for the technology which helps us to stay in touch.
    I take heart from knowing that we are doing our best for them by staying apart.
    I find it comforting to come on here and stay in touch.

    Praying for both of you to be safe in these trying times. ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

    First morning of 'getting around to posting' and so far so good, yay! Not that much time though as snoozed for ten minutes and also have a meeting (/call!) starting shortly. But just about have time to post some quick goals:

    So good to see you back ... we all missed you! Crazy times, isn't it. Makes us realize how small the world is, and how connected we all are.

    I fully enjoyed my pass day yesterday. I was way under goal until I started on the Prosecco ๐Ÿท with dinner. Technically still in the green, ๐Ÿ˜‚ But overdid the ๐Ÿซ and ๐ŸŸ, so I have a a lovely wee sodium birthday bounce up ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚ this morning.

    I am grateful...
    • ...that I had such a lovely birthday yesterday. DED sent me emergency supply (6 tubs) of my favourite Drink Me Chai Latte. I was saving my last serving of this for my birthday. DYD brought Prosecco and Rose ๐Ÿท and we visited in the garden. DH gave me a chocolate orange (mmmm didn't last long!) and some gourmet crisps, and organised a lovely healthy birthday meal.
    • ...that the Birthday bounce up was relatively painless. Still under my 150 goal.
    • ...that our family had a starwatch last night. We were hoping to see the Starlink Satellite train pass over our respective homes. Some success, but we missed the Sat train. However we did see a wondrous meteor shower in progress.
