We have loads of lambs in the field next to us, we can see them from our kitchen, so no one will eat lamb in this house!! I still have to decide what to do for Sunday.
Just about got Easter eggs today, they were sold out in loads of places.

You're going to have a busy day JC!

Morning.............took a while to get onto MWO kept getting a message that it was going to ruin everything.
Got a bit of advice and was told to just press agree. And here I am.

I've got all these plans for food tomorrow and haven't thought about food for today.

Yep its a case of feast or famine. See no one for weeks and then we're having to hire a doorman.

Yeah our AMAZING IT dept..loads of our 'official' websites are similar--- nonsense!
Just had a lovely walk on beach...trying to limit dog to short walks...managed it..then he came home and ran riot round the garden...just makes little sense!

Did the message say that the site wasn’t private and it was looking for personal and financial information? Strange, because I repeatedly received that message yesterday!

Morning folks, I thought for a while there yesterday that the site was no more, what a terrible thing that would be. It also made me think, seeing as I don’t do ‘face-ache’, were that the case then I would lose contact with almost everybody here.
So it’s 7 am on a frosty Sunday morning and the joy of waking up after a good nights sleep with not a trace of the poison which held me down for so long in sight is something I think I will never tire of. Today belongs to me and for that I am so grateful.
I have been for the past few weeks, in between the day job, redoing my entire veg garden. Hours and hours of digging and moving stuff around . It’s back breaking work and far from finished yet but somehow quite rewarding. I have lots of tiny plants growing in the greenhouse, ready to go out in the next month or so. It always brings me great joy to bring my own fresh organic fruit and veg to the table and Mother Nature is still a source of great wonder to me. Simple pleasures eh.
Rather than obliterating my ‘self’ every single day I am embracing sobriety. Only you folks know what that feeling really feels like and it is something that can’t be taken away once we make that choice and cross the line, despite all of life’s trials and tribulations, it is something to embrace and feel proud of for not everyone has the courage and inner strength to overcomes AL grip so feel proud this morning, all of us.

Morning...hi Tabs...and a happy Easter to all...I'll be honest and say I take that feeling of 'self' for granted...I should be proud...And I am....so there !!!
Luckily got my Easter eggs last week..believe there wasn't one to be had in Ireland!

Good morning everyone and happy Easter. Tried and tried yesterday and could not get onto the site. No message, just refusing to load. It is indeed the simple pleasures that mean the most Tabs. Glad you are enjoying your garden. Beautiful morning here but frost promised tonight.

Hope everyone well and that you all enjoy your day. Better get up now and stuff my turkey.

Good oh, back to normal.........if you could call us normal

Didn't make much difference having the gazebo and a fire pit going it was still freezing.............but we did it. I couldn't get any more clothes on.
Was smashing seeing Jenny & Ads and Buddy, then the S&H and his missus turned up. Its so very hard not to throw your arms around them. But we stuck to the rules. I had to keep saying to myself it won't be long now when we're all vaccinated and can get back to normal. Whatever normal is going to be.

Jenny and Ads took their Buddy and our Mikey for a walk and by the time they got back were best mates.

Its Line of Duty and straight to bed. I'm zorsted.

Evening all - just starting my weekend now.
The place was like a mad house today with the Activities team whipping everyone into a frenzy of chocolate Easter eggs, balloons, cupcakes - then the drinks trolly arrived
Death by chocolate for some I'd say
Ys is here and DD says she's coming tomorrow & they have another think coming if they think I'm cooking & catering for them all.
Feck that !

Happy Easter all..
Lovely sunny day here, we did a cliff walk and a garden visit to my folks, then home for dinner. We do a treasure hunt with cryptic or ridiculous clues. They moan, but then go mad if I suggest we wont do it.. At this rate I'll still be putting out Santa presents in their 20s

Good luck with all that cooking Satz (can you not just tell them its garden visits only, we wont have much longer with that line!)
