« Last post by Goosegirl on Yesterday at 09:31 »I always get up at 6.45 am and not a minute before. Can't stand anything in the kitchen to be out of line, touching each other or put back crooked in its little place.

« Last post by Goosegirl on Yesterday at 09:21 »Thanks. I've just emptied the rest of the tub and there were quite a few more, but am going to leave the other three tubs for a few weeks. Do they also improve their flavour by leaving them until later?

Chatting on the Plot / Re: Sadness
« Last post by jaydig on July 25, 2024, 21:06 »Hello Mrs B,
I hope you are feeling a little better today. Our sadness and grief comes out of the blue and ambushes us sometimes, doesn't it? Like you, I like to go out into the garden, preferably to sit alongside something that smells wonderful, and just take some time out to reflect on all the things that I have to be grateful for. I do believe that we shouldn't bottle up our sadness, and if the tears flow, just let them. Someone once told me that it doesn't really get better, but it does get different. Meantime we just do the best we can, we put on a brave face, but it's rather like whistling a happy tune and we hide what we are really feeling.
Thinking of you and sending you a huge, virtual hug and just to remind you that even if you sometimes feel very lonely and sad we are all here for you.
