Good morning, it’s very dark and cool here in south Glos, still no sign of rain despite the forecast vaguely suggesting drizzle somewhere, sometime 🙄
I do feel for you mernice, the wee small hours are the worst for being lonely, aren’t they?
Despite DH saying he’s watered my posts every day most of them are looking very sad and desiccated; I’m really upset because I don’t expect him to do much. I wish now I’d paid someone to come in and do it.
I went to the doctor, I’m on antibiotics so just as well I did. She’s told me to rest more, honestly I am doing very little but obviously not little enough! It’s difficult when you’re used to having to do everything.
Anyway, I’ll sit and do more stitching today, I also have a heap of books to read but my concentration is missing!
Chicken and salad for dinner, cba to cook.
I think it’s meant to be cooler today, hopefully it will stay that way for a while.
Take care x

I’d love to join in the Gransnet chats that come on my email every day but by the time I get them, you’ve almost all finished chatting. I’m not sure how to use this gransnet thing. 😊

Is anyone else awake? 6 months since losing my husband of 60 years and I’m having a difficult night.
