    Finished 35 min on my yoga, still trying to bump up one repetition or time or some kind of increase each time.

    Working on the quilt since... adding in a diagonal here and there, and it's making my brain hurt. :smiley:

    Cor's back, might take a break and get outside. Still barely 60, a little chilly for yours truly, but I can always get moving and warm up.

    Later,

    Rita, thanks so much in including me! Looking forward to reading what Belle is really up to. I'm intrigued.

    Hubby is still working on setting up his seed cleaner. Lots involved in this. Helped him with a couple of things but it is far beyond my pay grade so I'm just checking on him throughout the day and will assist if needed.

    Rita - Very much enjoying your murder mystery. :D
    We watched 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' on Thursday night. It's probably the third time I've seen it, John never, but it's been decades. Thought of you.

    Feeling loads better today with the antibiotics. A cloud lifted in the middle of the night.
    Haven't done a lot, apart from researching Amazon and listening to videos. Posted on Instagram before breakfast! Enjoyed composing the photo on my Polish app. :D I did my exercises and had a long chat with G. . My cushion fillers arrived and the cushions look sooooo much better! :p Very pleased with the results of my spring cleaning. Will do more tomorrow when John is at cricket. He swept the front garden path today, at my request.

    Had Dim Sum for lunch, and homemade pizza with green salad for dinner. Still eating prunes, yoghurt and EVO. A quiet life, but a good one. Going to watch Poirot in a minute. It's 'The Hollow', which was a play originally, and I was once cast in it, but the theatre burnt down before rehearsals could start! I can't remember which part!

    Annie - What an awful experience! My sympathy. <3

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Beth: It’s my new natural colour. It’s darker at the back. Glad you are feeling a bit more positive about your health.

    Having fun with the MFP Mystery! Hope you all enjoy it too. Sorry about the bold, I missed a spot when trying to bold the characters.

    If I missed anyone, please let me know. I can still add you in. We are at a Ball after all!! (If anyone doesn’t mind playing a male part, I still need a Prince Charming, Beast, Aladdin, and other ‘husbands’. If none, I can work with that!!

    As we have no men in our group, I will do the Pantomime tradition of being a principal boy and claim Prince Charming as my character. If someone has claimed that already I’ll be Aladdin.

    PS: I (Prince Charming) am having second thoughts about looking for a new bride. Cinders is just to difficult to get out of my heart. I wish I knew where she has gone. I’m lying low for a bit 😝

    I’ve had a really lovely 🎈 birthday 🎈 with DH. It’s been a fine spring day, and I even got out in the garden to dead head my bulbs. I’m looking forward to the family coming tomorrow to celebrate. We are doing Chinese take away. DYD has recommended a place and has got us a menu to order from.

    🤗🤗🤗 and 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for those who need them.

    🙋‍♀️ Miele failte to the newbies.

    I see I'm wayyyy behind. Weather has been great, I've been busy outside the past couple days. Mowing pruning, broadcasting lime and grass seed. A few quick comments -

    Rita yes, throw me in wherever as well. I'm like Ginny - male is OK! :p I need some bad weather so I can catch up on the story.

    Beth - glad things are better after seeing your doc. ;) I'm excited for you!

    Annie - I wonder what you picked up. Is your dad showing any signs of illness? Heard from my neighbor this morning, she finally had enough energy to cook a little last night and make breakfast this morning. She's on day 6, no energy and still horrible headache. She said a friend of hers has been down for 9 days. Nasty stuff!

    Terri - love your longer hair! Looks so thick and healthy. If mine wasn't so thin and I had enough patience I'd let it grow.

    I've been cutting my hair myself for years, I'm lucky to have some curl and wave. And FRIZZ. I discovered that an after shampoo rinse consisting of a couple tablespoons of apple cider vinegar mixed with half a cup of water and massaged into my scalp then rinsed out has really helped the texture, and my scalp no longer itches. Also seems I'm not losing as much hair! Might be the change in the seasons or my diet though. It still looks a lot like my profile photo, maybe a little bit longer. Until I whack at it again.

    Heather - glad the UTI is clearing up - The cushions sound very nice. :) I loved Close Encounters and would rewatch it if I could find it.

    Right now I'm catching up on Season 13 of Death in Paradise. As usual, very good.

    Rebecca - love that glamour shot. :p The gal did a great job on the cut, look at how nice it falls into place. Exactly perfect. And I can't believe how big the grands are getting. Looks like they are having fun. Always love to see them, thanks for sharing the pix.

    Rosemarie - I've had surgery on both knees, one was forty years ago and one a full knee replacement five years ago. Thanks for the concern, dear.

    Lanette, no we are lucky my dad doesn't seem to be catching this bug. He was out mowing again today!

    Thanks for all your concern. I had a better day, just a little dizzy if I move too much. Tomorrow I should be fine!

    Machka: Great Pictures! So you still have your uterus? I had some bleeding and the OB-GYN went up through the birth canal and did a total hysterectomy...tubes and all!


    Best,
    Rosemarie from GA

    Thank you!

    And yes, I still have everything. My gynaecologic-oncologist is reluctant to remove things unnecessarily.

    No formal exercise today, but about 3 hours in the garden and unloading our vehicle after doing another load to the new house.

    Lots of digging in the garden, which I love doing.
    Remember that @kevrit ... Rapunzel likes to dig. That might help answer the question ... how did Rapunzel get out of the tower to come to the ball. :smiley:

    I was removing bulbs to take to the new place.

    How about all the story characters have a conversation about how I ended part 2 of the Great MFP Mystery. I will repost it here to refresh your memories. I will hold off on continuing until you all add how you would have reacted in your character’s shoes when that happened. Below is the list of characters and the story so far:…….

    Prince Charming = Terri. To Fairy Godmother “ (I am having second thoughts about looking for a new bride. Cinders is just too difficult to get out of my heart. I wish I knew where she has gone. I’m lying low for a bit…)

    Fairy Godmother = RVRita To Prince Charming “ I will cover for you until Cinders is found. Please reconsider. Oh, my dear!!!! Cinders is at the door with Sleeping Beauty! I have to see what happened to her!!) {In her mind, she thinks ‘I need to do something more with her! My plan is not working!!}

    Cinderella = Lisa in AR
    Sleeping Beauty = Allie
    Nosey==Michelle
    Red’s Gran = Barbara AHMOD
    Red === Kylia
    Rapunzel == Machka
    Pixie==Rebecca
    Jasmoor= Heather
    Aladdin == Ginny
    Belle= Joy
    Grettel == Linda
    Hansel == Lanette
    Griselda== Rusty
    Jinn = Vickie
    Dwarf (Herbbette) = Tracey

    Please continue the conversation for part 3. Let your personalities show through! 😊

    Previous parts in spoiler:
    Part 1.

    Our MFP Murder Mystery characters and players so far:

    Fairy Godmother [b/]- Rita (Still doting over the disappearance of her goddaughter, Felicity continues to hope that Cinderella will reappear and everyone will live happily ever after.)
    Jinn ——————-Vicki (Jinn wants to get out of her lamp forever and become human. Perhaps her friendship to Rita is causing some mischief?)
    Dwarf (Herbbette) ———Tracey (Like a sister to Sleeping Beauty, Allie’s dependence on Herbbette is endearing to some an annoying to others.)
    Red’s Gran ———Barbara AHMOD (having escaped from the Wolf, Barbara is plotting something, but what or who will be affected?
    Red ——————-Kylia (Red came to the Ball with her Gran. Unaware that she is plotting something. Red suspects something is wrong, but what?)
    Rapunzel (Princess)————-Machka (Depserate to get out of her tower, this trapped temptress may have more than one offer on the table… the question is which one will she pick?)
    Pixie ——————Rebecca (Pixie is flitting around the Ball everywhere. She is gathering information about each party guest to report back to??)
    Nosey——————Michele (Nosey is walking from one group of guests to another. Not staying in any one place for very long. What’s this? She stops and writes notes in a notebook between each group. For what purpose??)
    Sleeping Beauty——Allie (With hopes of moving out of the bed, this princess hopes to soon be known not as the daughter of an evil queen, but as the wife of prince that is charming.)
    Cinderella ———-Lisa in AR (After being missing for a month, Cinderella shows up at the ball, dirty, tired, and ready to confront her kidnapper(s). She simply wants to rest first, but the Ball has disoriented her.)
    Jasmoor———Heather (Heather thought that Jinn was her friend and would help her through anything. But now, she is questioning this friendship..)
    Belle——Joy (Having tamed the ‘Beast’, Joy is happily going about her life. But no one knows her true motives…)
    Grettel—- Linda (Wandering the woods and destroying the evil witch, Linda is becoming more confident and independent. But will that lead her to her goals?)
    Griselda (Cinderella’s Stepsister)——Rusty (After years of animosity, Griselda has earned Cinderella’s trust and her place in the castle. Now that Cinderella is gone, will Griselda be next to disappear mysteriously?)


    Prince Charming——Terri. (I (Prince Charming) am having second thoughts about looking for a new bride. Cinders is just to difficult to get out of my heart. I wish I knew where she has gone. I’m lying low for a bit 😝)
    Aladdin————-Ginny
    Hansel———-Lanette

    “MFP Timeless Tale of Treachery and Treason in a Kingdom Far, Far Away”

    “After the mysterious disappearance of Cinderella, Prince Charming is throwing a fancy dress ball to find a new bride. Some of the kingdom residents question how the prince could move on so quickly, while others are jumping at the chance to earn their spot as the new princess in the castle. No one has seen the Prince since Cinderella disappeared and the rumors are rampant!”

    During the ball, as the dancing and rumors escalate, someone dies in the palace. Who died? Where? When? Why? How long was the victim dead? How did the victim die? What is happening?????

    RVRita (Fairy Godmother) from the Kingdom of Roswell…….

    Part 2:

    The Ball has begun and people are arriving in droves. The entire MFP Women’s 50 plus group have arrived. The band has begun with background quiet music to welcome the guests. The servers are wandering among the guests with low carb, low calorie snacks, water, flavored waters, wine and diet drinks.

    Fairy Godmother stands at the entrance welcoming the guests. Look! Here comes Jinn, Dwarf, Red’s Gran, Red, Rapunzel, Pixie, and Nosey! No one has seen Prince Charming. When will he arrive? The party is for him to choose a new bride. The crowd talks about the missing Cinderella and what they feel the Prince is rushing the search for a new bride.

    The night progresses with more questions as it is near Midnight now, but the Prince has not shown up for his own Ball. Questions are floating among the guests as the band plays on.

    The guest gasps in shock as Sleeping Beauty has just shown up with Cinderella!!

    Fairy Godmother in the mysterious land of Roswell…… 🧞‍♂️🧚‍♂️🧚🧝‍♀️🧙‍♀️🪄

    Word of the Day: Noblesse oblige “refers to the idea that people who have high social rank or wealth should be helpful and generous to people of lower rank or to people who are poor.” I forgot yesterday was 4/20!! Example sentence:
    Nearly 29% of daily cannabis users never used tobacco cigarettes.”
