Oh no SANDY, sorry you are unwel! I've just had some sad news from my point of view. Tony next door is getting worse and barely knows Maria anymore. He's just broken all her best crystal in her cabinet. The bad news is he is now on a waiting list to go into care, and Maria says she will sell the house when he does because…

As promised and counting my blessings I had quite a good night. Getting there! More later, It's snowing yet again! Anne.

Oh SANDY that gave me a big smile anyway, bless you! I have had a few words I must admit with the Boss up above. I'll recover. The main thing is - go on your holiday [while there is still time!] and have a really super break from it all. Us stay at homes will be with you in spirit and feel that warm sand trickling through…

I wish SANDY. No, its shingles as diagnosed. Wish it was restless leg syndrome. Very sharp stabbing internal pain. I don't want it again and its possible so will probably get the vaccine once I recover. Apparently its worse if one is OLD - ME!

Thanks PATSY, not a weird idea at all, but I don't think it would help. Its the internal pain and its so excruciating at times I even have suicidal thoughts. Not for long though I hasten to add. I can drop off to sleep, but the pain wakes me up. I yelp, get up and pace the floor and it subsides and I climb back into bed…

Oh my God. I've just read on BBC News that Russia has launched an invasion on the Ukraine. I'm praying it doesn't escalate! with China and North Korea joining in. Not to mention the rest of us! Anne

Oh girls, I'm so incredibly grateful! I've just got up after 5 hours of undisturbed sleep !!!!!!! Sleepless nights for weeks and I've actually just had 6 hours sleep all told! The rash is still with me but fading. I'm so very glad some of you have had the vaccine. Honestly its the worst thing I've ever had and its lasted 6…

Is the itching improving? Not really JACKIE and my leg is swollen but I'm convinced on the improve. Thinking positive. Hey, if you grow in the garden from now on that will be three of us. You, LIN and me. Potatoes are great. One can't really go wrong with potatoes. What sort of beans? French green beans, runner beans? MY…

PATSY, your Katie and my Jilly are birds of a feather or rather dogs of a fur ball. Jilly is getting far too clever. She now understands so many words that we are reduced to sign language and contemplating learning a new language. This next bit is me just musing so please ignore if you are dashing off somewhere. I have the…

Woke up to snowing but now its gone and its a sunny with a hint of spring day. I made bread this morning. A different recipe but it turned out really good. Other than that not much going on here. My cousin in Australia wrote and she asked me if I'd like some of their rain and flooding. No thanks. We have enough here! Crews…

That page made an impact on me as well Sandy. Thank you. Anne.

Dear SANDY I can only echo the girls comments above. I'm so very sorry for everyone and especially for you at this awful time. Anne. PS. I hope you will forgive me but now I know the full circumstances I can only tell you what I would do, NOT advice. However much I loved B I would not have him live with me. The son may…

I had Michael over yesterday for homemade Mushroom bisque followed by pizza and he enjoyed it so much he said he would be over today which is a holiday for us, Family Day. I woke up feeling more like my old self than I've done for ages. So the house got a darn good clean, I finished off the weekly wash and then I set to…

Just read the River Wharfe in Otley, UK burst its banks. I have two cousins living there. Anne.

Thanks JACKIE. Mike came over with the three packs of treats, but I will give your recipe a go probably tomorrow. A day off for us - family day. Anne.

Not surprised Betty went to sleep whilst listening to Leonard Cohn. He has that effect on me. ANNE

But I can't see you chasing after mice JACKIE, lol. Your description of your similar washday bedding knots are spot on for me! I too fasten the buttons on the duvet but as you say one can't do much if the bottom sheet is the culprit. Again, like you, something similar for us today. Extremely strong wind warning for Niagara…

Glad JACKIE and all the pets are doing okay. We got another load of snow overnight and during a sunshine lull this morning Darren came and dug me out again. The suns gone to bed now and guess what its doing. No prize if you guessed snowing! Very heavy stuff. The garbage men haven't shown up for the past two days, thats how…

JACKIE, thank goodness you and ALL the pets are safe. we are seeing horrendous photos of the damage and fallen trees. Hope you all have a good nights sleep in peace and quiet. Hugs from Anne and Bean.

That little love Darren who lives across from me came over with Marias snow blower and dug us both out! Very heavy snow so he really struggled and I've a snow wall thats taller than me along the side of our long, 3 car length at least drive. That means we might see Mike after all tomorrow or Sunday. Mark would have had to…

Wow, we really got a dumping of snow overnight. everything stopped. schools closed, no sign of garbage men, and I'm so glad I got the groceries on Thursday morning. A stay home day so I'll give your two suggestion a try later BARBIE. I once knitted a lot and you've got me wanting to pick the knitting needles up again. And…

Watched the Power of the Dog. Strange but I liked it and can understand why it's been nominated. Waiting for JACKIES reaction. The beginning put me off, hence me falling asleep. I thought it would be just another Western. ANNE.

Okay SANDY it looks like I had better give Power of the Dog another try. Judging by all the cattle milling about and the hats I figured it was a cowboy film before I fell asleep, lol. Set in New Zealand I think? The snow's started here. 20 cm overnight. Anne.

Damn. I seem to have lost my less than interesting comments. So here we go again. Not much except its horrible out there. I can't imagine even the ducks and geese liking "out there". Its rained and rained and so with snow banks melting we are warned of flooding. All is not lost, it all changes to soggy, wet, miserable,…

The Courier, well that was a tad violent, lol. ANNE.

Recently when I was lying awake all night I would listen to Jill talking in her sleep. Her throat noises are so distinct I find myself listening for actual words! I swear she is trying to talk human and her mumblings sound a bit like me! I'm so sorry to read of PATSY and LINs aching joints. The weather here isn't helping…

I started to watch the Power of the Dog this afternoon but after 5 minutes fell fast asleep on the sofa. I'm wondering if I should resume watching SANDY and so like you, await JACKIEs comments. It's not often a movie has me falling asleep! but to be fair after numerous recent bad nights I am slowly catching up on the lack…

Genuine mistake JACKIE! York museum has a recording of 46 dialects spoken in Yorkshire. Can you imagine! Ours is quite posh as compared to further north and west, lol. More later, but I think I'm recovering after over 6 months of scratching and agonizing stabbing pain. Actually slept last night!!!!!!!!!! What on earth is…

I enjoyed today, but no Mark because he hurt his back again after laying the wooden struts across the concrete to eventually put the floor boards back downstairs. I hope its not too bad because he really suffered two years ago when he decided to take early retirement. It's never really healed after loads of treatments. I…

Thank you BARBIE, I wish I could go for a walk with you and your doggie pals. I'm still a puppy at heart and LOVE walks. Jilly Bean.
