Re: Taking the plunge
@NatureLover so glad you have the garden 🌷 Stage 4 doesn't really make a difference in terms of our activity as we were doing this anyway (except sometimes I would do a late night sundae run which we can't do now). Its the psychological and emotional hit that hurts. Knowing there's a curfew, knowing I can't go to the shops etc.
Morning @Maggie ❤ How are you this morning?
Did you do any painting yesterday? Friday today 🎉 Fern day 🌿💚

@CheerBear 👋🏻👋🏻🥰🥰
Nail foil arrived yesterday. 😍😍😍 Its tricky, sticky fun. I have a few stones done. Definitely needs practice, but sparkly and bright.
Yes, fern day. 🎉🎉
How was yesterday in your world ? How’s today looking ?

Re: Taking the plunge
It wasn't a good day here yesterday. No surprises that I am struggling a bit now. Panic hit last night which I haven't had for a while. I was in bed and felt the rising feeling of tightening, can't breathe, closing in... you get it. It's feeling trapped, stuck and no escape. Today will be better 🤞💜
Can I come fern shopping please? 😉

Re: Taking the plunge
@CheerBear Oh yes, fern shopping with you me and counsellor sounds like fun. 💙💙💙
Really Sorry about the stuck and can’t breath closing in. Michell O’ Barmar ( bad spelling);ex First Lady, was talking about feeling a low grad depression, because of lockdown and the black lives matter stuff. So many are with you there. It’s hard, it’s long. Big hug. 💜💜💜 I have feelings rushing around, but can’t put words to them.
I hope today is a better one. 🤞🤞🤞 Any craft happening ? Or waiting for deliveries.

Re: Taking the plunge
Thanks for listening and hearing. I really appreciate it.
I'm going to have to work extra hard to be OK so today I'll have a showr and take two out for a walk. I can take them both with me as they're not old enough to go on their own. Then I will sew. Fabric isn't likely to come today but I have plenty to do other things with. I picked up a couple of post bags so I can make and send more masks. That's something.
Did someone come and buy a stone yesterday?

Re: Taking the plunge
@CheerBear I think there might be non stop chatter. 😂😂😂 I just know you would love her. I will think of you, put you in my pocket, so keep your eyes open for a good looking fern. What kind of coffee would you like ? I have cappuccino when we go out. ☕️☕️☕️
A walk with two littlelies sounds like a good idea. A short break from the four walls. Do you have your camera ? I think it might be broken, but can’t remember. 🙃🙃
I’ve seen some amazing masks, so I can imagine how great your are. Just a thought, but could you do something not related to the lockdown. A stone ? I wish I could share the nail foil with you. You would love the sparkle. I will post a pic when it’s bright enough to take one. I’m not sure if it’s the glue, or the us light, but it’s a bit patchy.
Alway hearing @CheerBear . Always caring. 😍😍🥰🥰

Re: Taking the plunge
Its a good idea to do something not lock down related. I have my pretty fabric to keep piecing together. I was saving it for a rainy day and think that's now. I can make some stones too, just in case I get a painting itch.
Great memory with my camera. It is still smashed. My battery is also now cactus. It goes from 20% to 0 in seconds. It's 2 weeks out of 2 years old (end of contract) and a top end phone at the time (a post break place stay flip out purchase :face_with_rolling_eyes:). Frustrated as I was hoping to pass it on to Big and for Big to pass theirs on to Middle. But no go. Its almost a paperweight now. I will need to get on to that asap as if it dies I will be in trouble (no work, no people, no contact) and with the post so slow I'm worried. Maybe I should do that right now while I'm thinking about it 😑
I'm really looking forward to seeing your pics. I imagine its something that mighy take some practice. How fun though!
I feel a bit miserable this morning so I'm going to deal with the phone then wash the miserable off in the shower. Looking forward to fern shopping and a cuppa. Thanks for being you Maggie ❤❤❤
