Hi @Former-Member .... 😊

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope, how's your adventure going? Is there a particular thread your putting updates? Jetlag takes about a week to settle I'm told, and I'm sure there's son Celtic wisdom to get over your post viral fatigue How's WH coping with his obcessive routines while travelling? A challenge I would think 😕 Hope this is a time yo rekindle some first love maybe.
Any good churches to visit there? Did you go this morning? Love ancient architecture and history. Churches are great for it. Hugz xox

Hadn't thought to start a new thread ....

In transit again today and have to go again now .... found a brief moment with wifi .... will catch you later and answer the above.

Hi to everyone else .... 👋🏽💗💕

Thanks @Snowie ..... you too Hon. Do you have plans for today, or is it a home-day veg-out ?

Not many plans for today @Faith-and-Hope Just some cleaning and washing.

Enjoy your first coffee of the day 😉

Thanks @Snowie ... you too ❣️

I have brought it back to bed with me because it's cold here, but I will get up again shortly for breakfast with D2 and then get back into my jigsaw puzzle to keep from overthinking tricky things that are going on at the moment.

Re: Far and Away

Taking it back to bed sounds good to me @Faith-and-Hope

Just about to have my 2nd ☕. Enjoying the quiet time before the kids wake up!

Hope Nelly lets you do the jigsaw puzzle in peace 😉

Re: Far and Away

Hahaha ..... unlikely @Snowie, re Nelly and the jigsaw puzzle. She started sitting in the middle of it yesterday, and batted some more pieces onto the floor for good measure before going to bed last night.

Enjoy your second coffee.

Good morning @Faith-and-Hope @Zoe7 @Sans911 @Snowie

Slow moving here. Trying to learn not to panic about getting everything done and trying to make everything perfect. Things are never perfect and never will be perfect.
Hoping for a peaceful day for everyone.

Re: Far and Away

Way to go @Former-Member ..... that can be a real challenge if there are elements of your nature or upbringing that foster perfectionism.


This has been a culture in my in-law family and has affected our children. I have learned something that might help you too.

Perfectionism is driven by a fear of not getting things to a standard, not getting them "right", or not being enough .....

A pursuit of excellence is something different. Instead of fear it is driven by joy .... joy in what you are doing (the process) in what you create or achieve, and the sense that its okay if it doesn't get finished, or turns out differently from what you expected because you allowed the process to be flexible and to take whatever time it needed. Learning to be okay with that is a really worthwhile achievement.

I hope that helps you as much as it has helped me and my kids.

Re: Far and Away

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope 💖

How true re perfectionism. Yes, I am trying to relax and not let things bother me so much.
House is quite big and not so easy to keep perfect 😩 A never ending job. So I really need to not worry.
We have nearly an acre and I find it extremely hard when it's not tidy. I don't have the energy to do gardening, plus I'm not brave to use the ride on mower. 😂😳
I don't know who is going to do it with H out of action. Really need to sort that out. According to specialist/surgeon, it will be months before recovery.

Trying not to panic.
Ok, shower time.
Hope you have something nice happen today. 💖🥰🙏
