Morning fruit loops,
I'm so glad lots of you are enjoying ‘Sing Gently’ and finding it soothing and healing, that was Eric’s intention, the man is a choral genius and so lovely! (No I haven’t met him but we had on line tuition from him as to how to perform, and the normal tricky bits which singers find in music, we were able to type our questions and between them he and his wife - a professional singer - were able to help with)
I hope that anyone having appointments/ treatments/tests today find them easy and they go well....

Hi Grogg, I have PM'd Jess and text her a few times over the last couple of months. But sadly have had no replies!
Of course I hope that's because she is too busy and is getting on with life but equally we all know that things don't always go so well.
Whatever the reasoning behind her silence. I wish both her () and her family all the best and want them to know we are all thinking about them! Xxxx
I am getting so frustrated with this site! Just wrote a long post and pressed post and it just disappeared so bloody annoying!!
I can't be bothered to write it all again! So now you get the very brief version. Which is today I went out somewhere other than the local field, for the first time in 4 months! It was amazing. We all had a Fab time, especially Bella! Xxxx
LondonLass Yay Hooray for going somewhere different!!!
well done and here's to much more of it !!!
I have been to a garden centre...whoopeee. I bought a rose for the ole fellas birthday xx We have been booking holiday activities online xxx
Hi fruit loops, we too have been out somewhere different; picked up hubs’ wheels then after some lunch we went to Costco which is very well managed! Did quite a big shop, lots of replenishing of stores! we wore masks but still were only in about the 2/3 of folk who were, and I glared at people who (still!!!) got too close, usually those who were not masked!

Yay LondonLass at going somewhere different!! Baby steps will build your confidence. I've also PM as I think of her and her twins from time to time. She was having such a difficult time.
I'm also hugely frustrated by this site. Mostly use on my phone and it constantly logs me out even though I've clicked remember me! So frustrating I've abandoned so many posts.
In other news I've found my Mother of Bride outfit. Not wowed by it but felt comfortable in it and a damn site cheaper than my £1200 option that was a bit too formal for me. A bonus is I have a navy bag that matches (bought for a wedding years ago and never used since) so only need shoes and I'm tempted by Rainbow club shoes as so comfortable inside and I fancy sparkly silver.
Still waiting for year 5 mammogram appointment to drop through door. It was actually 5 years in June I was diagnosed by every year the annual check up has been a month late andn year 3 I had a blip and repeat test so even longer. God I feel anxious waiting for the appointment to drop through the door!
Still on lockdown here in Wales. I no longer watch the news as I'm clueless as to hour our rules differ to England and finding the Covid updates very stressful!
Hope all well with everyone xx
Well done LondonLass going somewhere different.
moomy glad you are feeling better.
Exciting hols plans Snowys Mum !
Grogg, I too use my phone and an repeatedly logged out grrrr!
Phone consult tonight with the surgeon, CT, tumour markers and other bloods all OK . Colonoscopy planned for Sept/Oct. Feel better now I know where I am, the covid confusion was getting me down.
