It is quite natural to worry, even though we know it does not make things better.
Soooo- try not to worry about worrying - it is natural.


A reasonable day,bright but cold.
Met a lady at the  blood clinic.
She was very upset about another resident at her sheltered accommodation who is bullying her.
All I could do was listen.There seems to be no proper supervision or any staff who could mediate.
Oh dear, Very sad. I do attract people somehow but it did no harm to listen .

Booked my place at the afternoon tea at Church  on June 8 th.
We are asked for a donation but also to bake.
However it will be a sociable event and our new young Rector and his wife are
very involved .
She works and is suffering from early pregnancy nausea , so to be admired for  her involvement in Church matters.

Look after yourselves and best wishes to those with problems , that they are resolved soon.

After a bright start it has of course rained !
Optimistically put washing on the line but brought it in mid afternoon when a light shower started.

Gave my new plants a feed as any liquid would be washed off by the showers  so no scorching of leaves.

Steak for my son’s evening meal ,I fancy cheese ,ham and pineapple toasties.

Quite cold today , nearly June and I have a fleecy  sleeveless  jacket on.
I do feel cold most of the time .

Hope all are in good spirits .

Oh dear, my OH was not a handyman and knowing that would not even attempt any DIY.
The week before our wedding I asked him to put up a shelf in the kitchen of the house we had bought .
He came to Mum’s after several hours and said he had put the shelf up .
“ It was difficult, it would not stay up at first but is O.K as long as you don’t put any weight on it!”
He had nailed it to the wall.
I did all the DIY , but he was fair and washed up and brewed up etc so I hadn’t got it to do .
He once cut the toe off his shoe when sawing wood for me, but was left handed but right eye dominant ——- was a crack shot doing National Service but rubbish at practical things .

It was our family joke , his total incompetence.
Our sons can do all sorts of things ,not at all like their Dad.
We would have him back.

Lovely afternoon ,but I decided to sort out a bit of a muddle re two hosepipes joined so I can water the front garden and not take the hose through the house, go round the outside.
It leaks so needs disconnecting ,can I fathom out what I have done wrong.?———I was saturated , and still no idea what goes where.

Pizza and salad for tea and M/c United won the FA Cup Final !

Daughter sent an email naming her friends who remembered me from her schooldays ,they sent Birthday wishes and a customer ,a German chap,I chatted with at her BMW Franchise ,he remembers me because seemingly I asked was it he who bombed our chip shop?
I don’t remember that and he was far too young to be in the Luftwaffe or any other of the armed forces.But we did have a laugh I remember .
Well the oven to put on, table to set,salad to prepare etc etc etc ,is there no end to this slavery!
Cheerio .Viktoria.

Cheerio , hope it is a nice day tomorrow for everyone.

Thanks again folks,the different time zones - so more kind wishes !

The sun is “ cracking the flags “ — meaning it is so warm there is a danger the York stone paving flagstones might crack!
Not many real flagstones left now, composition ones or asphalt!

Washing in ,and soon on the line , I like “ pegging out” .
Fish to feed, greedy one is being naughty again,I have to isolate it for a day then it behaves but reverts to bullying again 

Well I am now officially 87 ,about 200 physically but 8-10 in the head.

Cup of tea first though whilst I do my shopping list then escape with my trusty trolley before son “ helps” me!
He parks further away than the bus stop ,at Morrison’s ,but I shop mostly at Tesco which is very near the bus stop ,so I sneak out .
He works long hours on the computers, time zones etc so has a lie in at weekends .

I know there are many not well, tired and worried , but hopefully by comparison they may feel things are not so bad .
We are not in war zones are we.

Cheerio, many thanks again ,I am very touched by your kindness.
Viktoria.
