Re: Am Not Coping

Yes @utopia re possum cloak .... amazing stuff ..... and the museum display here is awesome too.

Re: Am Not Coping

Morning @Zoe7 ..... I haven’t seen you on-forum yet this morning.  I have slept in and am feeling lazy about getting up .... so might just be lighting a candle at church this morning.  Will catch you later ....

 

Morning to all who pass by here this morning .....

👋💕

Re: Am Not Coping

Didn't come on this morning @Faith-and-Hope - did a few things before I went to babysit. She is an adorable little girl - we pretty much played int he sandpit for 2 hours lol

It is a beautiful day here and if I get the grass mowed I may be able to take Toby to the beach - that will also depend on how tired I am later today though.

Hope you have got yourself moving a little more and made it to church.

I am going to have lunch and then put some more washing on - should get dry today Smiley Very Happy

Re: Am Not Coping

Made it to church @Zoe7, and there was extra to the service today, so I wasn’t so late after all ..... heading home for lunch now.  We still have overcast skies here, but it sounds like your morning was lovely .....

I am psyching myself up to finish a drawing assignment this afternoon.  It is very detailed and needs to include collage ..... so I am thinking about it and how to tackle it.

Re: Am Not Coping

Yea you made it to church - so good there was extra to the service @Faith-and-Hope

I have had lunch and resting for a little while until I tackle the mowing. It is still a beautiful day here - the sun is out, the sky is blue and the temperature is in it's low 20s - also no wind so it is pretty much the perfect day outside. The only issue is that it is too sunny for me to be out in it just yet - I'll have to wait until later when the sun is not so strong - I could feel my hands burning even this morning under the morning sun.

I hope you work out how to use collage in your drawing and can get the effect you want - I'm sure it will be successful - all your work is amazing Hon Smiley Very Happy

Re: Am Not Coping

@utopia @Zoe7 - speaking of household chores - my mother once told me a story about how she was so bogged down with the mundane that she and her neighbour suggested doing each other’s laundry just to add some variety into their day.

 

I actually like ironing, especially the more complicated items. I find peacefulness in smoothing out the wrinkles. Weird probably but that’s my thing. 

Re: Am Not Coping

haha @soul That is a great story about your mum and neighbour Smiley LOL

I am not a fan of ironing but it has to be done. My sister doesn't iron - she tries to buy clothes that don't need it because she hates it so much lol

I have plenty of ironing here to do - that is usually a nightime job but the nights I have been too tired - think I need a sleep this afternoon before I mow the lawn and then maybe the ironing afterwards. What are you up to today?

Re: Am Not Coping

The kids and I scattered my dog’s ashes yesterday. That was emotional but I’m okay now. It would have been her tenth birthday and those first anniversaries after a death are always hard. 

 

I am at my partner’s place where I spend the weekends these days. He has just mowed and I have done some weeding. I ironed his shirts this morning as he was cooking up a curry. A bit of domestic bliss. Feels nice. He watched the Manchester United vs Chelsea match this morning. Full of drama. Happy with the draw but we were so close to a win. 

Re: Am Not Coping

Sounds like a nice, harmonious day for you @soul.

Re: Am Not Coping

My Liverpool team had another win so I was pleased about that. I haven't caught up on other results but a draw for you is better than a loss Smiley Tongue

It is so sad for you about your dog @soul but really nice that you could scatter the ashes by the water and on what would have been her tenth birthday - so, so sad for you all Smiley Sad I can't imagine not having Toby by my side so I can feel some of the pain you are feeling - tears just thinking about it for you Heart

I am going to head off now myself - have a sleep and then try to get the lawn done. I hope the rest of your day is relaxing @soul Heart
