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

Re: Far and Away

@Zoe7 is it cold where you are? We want to go for a small hike with the kidlets but the fire is on now so not sure if we will be leaving the house! 😐

Re: Far and Away

Yeah it is cold today so an inside day is good @ArraDreaming Do you know - I have a fire place that I have never used. The heat pump does its job too well.

Re: Far and Away

@Zoe7 we love our fire and use it more than our heater, we have a split system and those electric panel wall heaters in the bedrooms but we don’t use them much @Zoe7
Our fire does the job, the kids like to help with it too (supervised obviously)

Re: Far and Away

A fire is so relaxing @ArraDreaming 👍

You guys have motivated me @Snowie @Former-Member @ArraDreaming - off to start sanding.

Re: Far and Away

Thanks @Snowie @Former-Member 🌷

A sort of bittersweet day for me today. Anzac Day was always a hugely important and big day for my ex Navy husband. So I always went to the services and march and everything that came afterwards to make sure he was okay. But since he passed away just in 3 years ago, I never know quite what to do now. The first year I was in hospital, an extended stay in a MH unit. Last year I quietly attended my local town service, proudly wearing hubbys many service medals on my right side to honour him. This year I have stayed at home, feeling guilty for doing so. But I just havent felt like doing anything. It will be his birthday in 2 days time, which also marks the day of his actual funeral. 🌹

So I am just generally feeling pretty low today. 😔

Hi @Faith-and-Hope I hope your Dad is doing okay. 😄

Hi to anyone else here. Hope your day contains at least one positive in it. I have a positive, and that is my puppy Hannah 💖.

Re: Far and Away

Today can bring up so many different emotions and memories @Emelia8 for so many different reasons.

Staying home and putting you first might just be the best thing for you.

It does sound like a hard time for you especially with his funeral anniversary coming up.

I hope you are able to do something nice for yourself today.

Glad you have Hannah 💗

Re: Far and Away

Hey there @Zoe7 🙂🌺

hope the sanding is going well.
yeah making meals that lay a few days makes life much easier for sure ☺️

haven’t quite started the Anzac bics just yet - I have a gas stove, and so I can’t use supplemental oxygen for breathing near the stove ..makes the day a lot slower. But, I’ll be cooking the Anzacs with electric oven once the stove top gas flame is finished with dinner 🙂🌺

hope it’s going well there
