    Found them all very quickly Machka, but I never did find your four leaved clover!! :o

    My 5k was fabulous! We went round the least populous end of the promenade and it was fine for s d. There is nothing like the sound of waves breaking on a shingle beach. B) I've got a nice little route now which takes me across the grass of a small park, then around the lagoon, then along the promenade until we get to a small, terraced garden which I run around and up and down some steps, then back past the fish market and back across the park. In the terraced garden their are some succulents which are just coming into yellow flowers and the park has marigolds.

    DH is now cooking his apple and blackcurrant dessert (another reason why he's a keeper, Karen) and I will start on my left over lamb curry, with spinach and peas.
    Our soup and trout lunch was extremely tasty.

    I am going to make a phone call to my old uni friend this afternoon.

    This morning I did my exercises, some memoir and then paid my credit card bill. I had to get the figure on the phone as the actual paper bill has not arrived this month. :# I borrowed the money from my savings as I hope to get it back from Saga. :* Then I will have to sit on the phone for hours to claim back the overpayment. Grrr! Oh well.

    Much love to all, especially those having difficult times. <3

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Machka ~ I love the challenge of that painting!

    SuziQ ~ Your daily "grateful" statements are inspiring.

    Karen VA ~ I have used the Flonase spray and have recently started using XYZAL plus generic Singulair at night. As long as I stay inside, I can handle the allergies.

    I am able to order groceries by Instacart and they will be delivered on Friday. Just hoping they are able to fill my order!

    Easier Face Mask 😷-

    Some are trying the harder patterns y cute look we can’t all do that one. Godmom tried a harder one I’m again suggesting an easier one. Her harder one has failed in trying to make it. Can look ugly just as long as it protects who cares. Fold shirt like Military suggests sew 🧵 around to look like this add strings or ties.washable bleachable easy quick to make thick .This is what old Doctor masks used to look like it’s for patten ideas just Ignore who he is This guy is from a man selling ones to a hospitals or giving to

    Luci- As a precaution yes stay away from baby but the parents need to wear gloves 🧤 (even winter ones) y a mask in case not touch their eyes wash regularly. Better safe than sorry!

    Exercising,steak sandwich 🥪 2 for the day each of us with broth from it added to ramen noodles Incase hubby still hungry. Laundry 🧺 Day again.I’ve ran out of stuff to clean after that. Darn ambulance 🚑 comes in sees our house they’d be baffled on how even the baseboards are so clean lol 😂. 3 months here of virus 🦠 + over a month of isolation makes cleaning a breeze lol 😝

    On Facebook I love the Garden ones live our Arboretum and Missouri Botanical the give you virtual tours. Most of my friends post positive or helpful info so I do go to Facebook to keep up with some of my friends. I agree the negative ones it is best to hide and it that doesn't work unfriend.

    Machka: I walk our dog in our neighborhood. It is a pretty walk and there are no crowd worries. There is a public park at the end of our road and it has been lightly used. Yesterday the dog and I encountered one person and the social distance was more than adequate. :star: I love the coping calendar & will print it so that I can put it on my bulletin board. :heart:

    Amber: I was surprised about the tigers, too. I watch several zoo shows on Animal Planet. There have been shows from New York, the mid-west, Florida & Australia. I saw one from California but only found it one time. I also saw shows from the Chester Zoo in England, but not since before the Covid pandemic. :flowerforyou:

    SuziQ: I loved reading your gratitudes. I think it is a great idea to focus on things that are positive. :star:

    Viv: Can you set up facetime talks with your sister? We have them with our son & our daughter frequently. Ours are all handled via iphones or ipads. :smiley:

    Karen in VA: Our governor has been doing an exemplary job for us during this crisis. She’s acted wisely and promptly to manage the challenges. :star:

    Kate UK: I’ve never seen a bush like the one in your photo. It is beautiful. The leaves remind me of rhododendrons, but the flowers are completely different. Karen’s comment about laurel seems like a good possibility. :star:

    Lanette: Our local Safeway store has set 7-9 am on Tuesday’s and Thursdays as Senior hours. I’ve been there more than once and it has been a positive experience. Other days and hours are open to everyone. :star: Some of our neighbors are shopping at Fred Meyer. They call in an order in advance & the store has a shopping service that will bring the groceries curbside to their car. They pay via credit/debit card at curbside. This has been true since before the virus outbreak, and it is intended to help those with health problems. :flowerforyou:

    I miss seeing my friends. Telephone is better than nothing, but it has been a LONG time since I got to spend time with Arrow or the friend who owns him.

    Katla- zookeeper was Asymptomatic so What I want to know is was it spread from the plastic or touching ? Cough on the animal or food? So far 1 cat indoor one y 3 indoor dogs have caught it they made sense they were alone with a body. These zoo animals guess we should have known - China had a No touching animals rule (only your indoor pets folks brung their outdoor pets inside only! )

    Their also saying pets are gaining too much weight during the virus watch the treats - Hubby gives one with out us knowing,then is,then the kids,then hubby again lol 😂.15lb gain in some pets that’s almost 2 stones!! Yikes 😬 My cousin found out every day hubby gave 3treats (puppy a baby only allowed 1 a day!!) she gave it’s 1 treat. Puppy been having 4 treats a day! She fed puppy while in the morning shower hubby fed puppy too! Poor puppy has a huge belly now she had to get on to hubby big time now trying to get the weight off the pup with extra play time to walks in the yard on a leash.

    Did SBG Total Body DVD, probably won’t keep this one, too easy. The plan for tomorrow is to do Cathe Friedrich’s AfterBurn DVD. I seem to remember doing this one and it was pretty good.

    Kkjelson – welcome!

    Made the chocolate cake we’ll have for Easter and then freeze it. Also tried making the chocolate pudding again, this time with more cornstarch. I’m thinking that I need to incorporate the cornstarch more. Maybe the next time!

    Margaret – loved the colors in your painting. I love anything that is very colorful

    Starting going for a walk after dinner. I just gotta get out of the house! They did find a mahjongg game online (I’d forgotten that this is the one I used when PJ was born and I was in DE) so we’ll probably play tonight which means I won’t go out for a walk.

    Vince was just telling me that in DE now if you are from out of state, you can get stopped and if you aren’t there for serious business, you are to leave the state and/or have a 14 day quarantine. Is that so Anne? If this is so, wouldn’t it be funny in a sense if Denise had this party for PJ and most of Pete’s family who lives in the Philly area couldn’t come???

    When I went to Food Lion the other day, they wiped down the conveyor belt totally in between each customer. I liked that. Wish more stores did that. Yes, M, I agree that the lower traffic IS nice.

    M – which mahjongg site do you use? We use Real Mahjongg Online. If you use RMO, what is your name on there?

    We had to go to the post office and when we were coming back Vince commented on how you are seeing a lot more people walking now. I mentioned that some people used to go to a gym, but now it’s closed, others are working from home and now have time. Guess he just didn’t think of those things

    Lanette – love the smiles

    Lisa – can you still order the GS cookies online? If I’m going to get them for Vince for Easter, I should get my order in. I know they’re only available to a short time, but I don’t know if they’ve extended it so you can get them online. What’s the link again? Thanks

    Texas residents free childcare for essential workers if they need it. https://www.ksat.com/news/texas/2020/04/06/gov-abbott-announces-free-childcare-for-frontline-workers-during-covid-19-pandemic/

    No one cares about long grass especially for older folks not a time to worry about it just cut the animals area y backyard for kids. When grass is so high you can’t wait any longer cause it would clog a mower only
