Thank you from me too.

This has been a nice safe friendly place to be in the times I have been here.

I have a little pile of books I never get round to reading too. Some of them are authors who I wanted to try but, when I am clearing out, I read a paragraph or two, decide I am not keen, and recycle to the book exchange or charity.

It’s nice about the lake Rebecca. We have a lake close by too but it is for fishing only although it looks pretty so not at all negative. I would like some more warm weather here before it starts to cool down for winter. I don’t really mind hot or cold but the sun cheers things up. It’s cold cloudy weather I am not keen on.

I think I have a Star Wars in my pile of books to read. The pile seems to have got out of control in this pandemic. I do have a good vaiation though as I have at least one detective story and a teen romance.

Fish and chips today 🙂

The AC must work overtime over there Rebecca. I remember a car I had here which had a leak in the system. It took it all it’s time to blow any cool air.

I have been on the lookout for the local snakes here just recently now it has warmed up Rebecca. They seem to be hiding better this year though. You do keep your children active. A good thing!

Veggie soup yesterday. Something simple 🙂

Minced beef today but I have not quite decided how to have it.

Yes I think there would be lot’s of catching up with my sister too but it’s unlikely I will see her for a while. She only lives about an hour and a half away but it takes some organisation as she keeps busy with work and her daughter / grandchildren.

I hate it when I start to read a book and lose the momentum. I like to finish things I start but know when I read that I am losing interest. Sometimes good authors work’s do change. I love the Ian Rankin Rebus books but can never really get into any of his other works however good they may be (and I am sure they are). It must just be being able to…[Read more]

I think being in a relaxed atmosphere can make a big difference to anyone’s lives. I really don’t know what I would have done in recent months if I had been completely closed in. Not being a city girl I do find them opressive for all but short stays.

Yes, I could well imagine there being a shortage of it Rebecca. It’s not made a great difference to me but it would be nice to have the freedom again.

As I mentioned earlier, I don’t wear it with a mask but luckily don’t need to wear one when out walking. It does seem strange to have less makeup when I am going to town and such like than when I am relaxing nearer home though lol

Hi Denise, welcome!
It’s good to meet a new member. As Test mentions, there have been a few glitches with the site recently so if you are getting problems it may well not be your computer. There are still a few of us here but it is at a low at the moment. Forum use is a little up and down over the years.

It’s greetings from me in the Uk. I am…[Read more]

Yes, medical needs are often a worry for anyone. Even here, with the free healthcare, for anything special it can often require a long journey to one of the bigger cities. They are trying to centralise or reduce scattered provision, from what I see, but that just cuts NHS costs while increasing everyone elses.

Yes, I found the view new posts in the last 3 days especially useful. I don’t check by email as I don’t like it to get too blocked up. I think the notifications are still working, at least for messages. Perhaps a way of trying it out @rebeccajpanda ?

I just go and put things together. Mostly it works these days but I have had my moments lol

Good luck with that Rebecca. If it is anything like here costs can vary greatly. It’s good that you have someone closer. After working in one side of special needs here I know that it can be a problem. Some here have to travel miles.

Yes I pop back from time to time too!

I don’t think the forum is doing itself too many favours currently though as there seem to be lots of bugs at the moment.
