Have started again since the pandemic and loving the interaction. But it does make a difference that I'm home all day now and also that it's winter here!! I'm sure in summer I'll be doing more outdoorsy things and have less time or inclination to sit by the computer! <br />I do hope you are feeling a little better today - life has those up's and downs and there is always an up after we've experienced a low time. xxxEvihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15098163128625989839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564665415681304577.post-41472377358300916142020-06-11T14:07:16.740+01:002020-06-11T14:07:16.740+01:00I love that shade of yellow too, Angela.

I also identify with the feelings of lethargy as we no longer go about our daily business - the less we do, the less we are motivated to do. It's a vicious circle.

And <i>"living in my own garden"</i>, so-to-speak... I am happy, and calm, and enjoying my little Private Posting. -smile- Just pics of around here, and little words, of around home... Just for me.... Not out there, on the World Wide Web. Somehow, it feels so relaxing...<br /><br />I do hope to return to Pretty Blog Land, at some point. <br /><br />But right now, this way, is my Happy Place. -smile-<br /><br />I am not suggesting that you do this! Just saying, how this, is working for me, for the <b>First Time Ever</b>.<br /><br />And I am happy and calm, and able to make gentle comments, in the blogs of others.<br /><br />β¨πΈβ¨π·β¨πΌβ¨<br /><br />wisps of wordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995057494013633705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564665415681304577.post-89538966026184711102020-06-09T13:16:15.695+01:002020-06-09T13:16:15.695+01:00I do hope we get some hot sunny days again soon, i...I do hope we get some hot sunny days again soon, if only that you get to enjoy your freshly painted garden furniture :)<br />Thank you for the link.

I had pretty much given up blogging (which I had done for about 10 years religiously and built up a lovely virtual community) when life and new photography hobby got in the way. This stay-at-home gave me the opportunity to blog on a new platform, make new friends, and continue to plod gently through life, just closer to home. It took me awhile to find this silver lining!!

It's good that we have rain but it would be nice to have blue skies in between the showers.<br />As for going out - I think we will all have to work out for ourselves what is safe rather than just relying on rules. I've been wondering if I'd like a big badge to wear which would show that I am exceptionally 'vulnerable' so people will know to keep their distance if I go for a walk locally.Lucy Corrander Now in Halifax!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14685242329129914772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564665415681304577.post-39782225894474769972020-06-07T11:26:33.807+01:002020-06-07T11:26:33.807+01:00I'm glad Lily has been able to use the pool, i...I'm glad Lily has been able to use the pool, it looks so inviting - I could have done with one of those myself during the recent hot weather :) Your photos are lovely as usual though you can probably guess my favourite - Mog, she looks adorable :) Tigermousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11386636767916316587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564665415681304577.post-20522162188693396122020-06-07T09:45:48.688+01:002020-06-07T09:45:48.688+01:00The temperatures have dropped again here, that'...The temperatures have dropped again here, that's why we always make the most of any sunshine when we get it :) Your spa day sounds like a wonderful idea.<br />The cordial is bottled up and ready for drinking.
