Hello ED,  it is called SAD. I am rallying today. Walked in the brief sunshine, despite the wind,  for my morning coffee. Nearly all of my coffee mates were gathering at the same time so we all stopped outside to chat. That lifted my spirits. Well apart from one lady who was tearful as her husband had passed away on Monday. We had a quiet chat on the side lines as I am the only other widow in the group and I told her that I understand what she is going through. That is real sadness not my silly low feeling from yesterday. I didn't say that to her. Now I am back to getting into things around the house. I think that the key is to catch as much sunlight as possible, walk and socialise and keep busy.  I have also been thinking about my yearly teacher registration. $90. This year they want to update my details for a police check etc. Fair enough, however I need access to a printer to copy the forms and take to a police station. As much as I loved teaching and miss my time with students my reality is that I no longer have the energy to do it even as a casual teacher. I haven't approached the local schools letting them know that I am available even though I know that they are desperate for casual teachers. So now I will let my registration lapse. Decision made. Enjoy your day.

Hi Ed
I quite like a Harvester. The salads are lovely. Desserts too.
Read my book this afternoon.  I got a message from my GP surgery telling me to book second shingles jab. I am going on 23rd July. 
Have a good night

splashed--field mouse ty/ It is early and dull at the moment but I am up and on the go. Will be off to the hospital to see the vascular doctor this morning--not something I really want to do but will go anyway. It will probably turn out to be another hot one--starting at 19 this morning.I am glad to see that there was a birthday celebration and all went well. Have a good day.

Hello ED, TY for the Peace Dove and PD. I hope that Sandra enjoyed her evening. Gosh the last thing I would want to do is go out somewhere else after a dinner. Did you have to drive? That would stop me. If it was a walk around the corner on a Summer's night I could slightly be tempted. I think that I am in a Mid Winter slump. There is a term for it but I have forgotten what it is. All due to lack of sunlight. Too cold to sit outside and listen to the surf. After a bit of F/L I will go to bed and snuggle / hibernate with a book. Enjoy your sunshine.

Good morning Ed

Hope Sandra had a smashing birthday.  Did you have a nice meal?
Sun out today. Not too hot.
Have a good Tuesday. Enjoy sainsburys

Hello Ed, TY for the P-P. Glad that you resolved that. I hope that you all enjoy Sandra's birthday dinner. You said 5. Sandra, you and Tracey. Who are the other 2? I woke to a cold, rainy and windy day today. Decided to drive round the corner for my morning coffee. Glad that I did as when I left the store a gust of wind nearly blew me over. I had planned to drive into Rye today to post some parcels etc. Decided against that. Instead I got on the internet and my phone to speak to real people about possible scams. It took about and hour due to waiting. One was my VIT account for teaching wanting to confirm me and update my details and a Police check. That turned out legit. The other wanting updated details re. my email acccount was a scam. Both phone calls took a long waiting time to connect however I was quickly assured when I spoke to the helpful humans using the phone. I am becomming more and more distrustful re messages on my phone and email asking for details. So many scammers out there and they are getting good at it. Enjoy.

Hi Ed
Been lovely and cool today. Dry this afternoon though. Defrosted the freezer. I got this spray that's supposed to make it easier. It didn't really, but that job is done.
I see there is going to be another heatwave 🥵. I might have to put my shorts on

Morning splash--It is hot again but for the moment I have the window and the door open as the air moving in feels a little cooler. I watch the Scottish and British opens but don't enjoy those wide open fields with no boundries it seems. There was a playoff for the John deere but it was sort of a fizzle.We really slept in this morning(it was after 9 but was awake at 3 and took a pill) Now I really have to find a forward gear and maybe get something done. Nurse today but have no clue on what time she might get here and tomorrow back to see the vascular doctor, Have a good day and even though we do let the birthdays slide by-wish Sandra a happy birthday anyway.(I would rather just forget them anyway too)
