Far and Away

Ha ha @TAB Tbh I have no idea who the blonde chic is, just wanted a black and white and male female balance, and that was on my screen. I am far too old and classical to keep up with the new latest and greatest, or even last years ....

@Appleblossom @Snowie @Adge @Appleblossom Made it through lunch. Went early to help my sister get organised - there is a story behind that ....so my Mum asked my sister to take her shopping yesterday for Easter. She said she wanted to cook a chicken and they got everything else she wanted THEN she told my sister lunch was at her place. My poor sister - but I think I was angrier than my sister (but as she said - she had had time to get over it) and I told my Mum so. It was not fair that she didn't even ask my sister and I did not think it was right so I told her so. She laughed it off (as always). It is okay that Mum wanted lunch at my sisters - both her and Dad are still recovering - but it is the way she went about it that bothered me - my sister has done everything for them and I know she would have said yes to having it at her place but she was never asked - I find that really disrespectful. Once I made my feelings clear I left it at that.

Clover played with my sister's cat the whole time - more like her cat chased Clover around the house and they occasionally stopped for a rest. After lunch Clover made her way up onto one of the dining room chairs and layed down for pats. She talked to me half the way home until she fell asleep ...Toby slept all the way home. They are both now sound asleep - has been a big day for them both ...mummy will not be far behind them - I am exhausted - could barely keep my eyes open on the way home myself!

Lovely image of fur cousins playing well.

@Zoe7

Sometimes they are better behaved than people.

Frustrating game your mother played. It is different here in my family now, but those kind of womanly wiles give us a bad rep. Good you said your piece.

Son wolfed down big plate of extra yummy gado gado, with a special joke garnish inspired all for him. I would love my extended family to be united, but cannot do anything about it. I also would have loved grandson here, maybe another year ... patience huh!

🙏 Thanks @Appleblossom .....

Glad you made it through lunch and are home now @Zoe7

That must have been difficult for your sister hon, I am glad you spoke up for her.

Hoping you can get some rest this afternoon. I am sure Clover and Tobes will catch up on some sleep too!!

Praying for you

Does not matter about Feast Days and Calendars.

@Faith-and-Hope

Holding you up to the light.

It seems like you have had a nice day @Appleblossom - enjoy those you are with whilst thinking of others. I called into the cemetary to 'see' my friend on the way to my sister's - it is certainly nowhere near the same as having him around but it is a place now I can go ...grateful he has been layed to rest in his home town - it is where he would want to be.

@Snowie Thinking about you today very much Hon and hope you do not have any issues with your own mother

That was nice of you hon, to call in and 'see' your friend @Zoe7 . It is nice when we can go visit them.

M has been ok so far. Don't want to talk too soon however 🤔

Hope that continues with your M then @Snowie Have had a little squishy face licking my face, a Toby wanting pats and Cat asking for her dinner - so much for a nap I think it will be a super early night tonight - so tired, still achy and not feeling very well this afternoon - it has been a big day though for all of us - and I am still recovering from the full on end of term. I had my flu shot on Thiursday too and that always seems to make me feel unwell for a few days.

What time are you heading out for dinner?
