Wow that's really pretty.and what was inside (that I saw) was all beautiful. It looks like Rose is bound and determined that it's going to be all good. I am in agreement with her.?

Good evening all.
I've been in need of some cheering up and you've certainly all done that.

I got my wish for some blue sky and sun - a short respite from more rain which is on its way - but a mixture of being fed up with covid, stress caused by the neighbours and having to sort out some problems for my nephew really dragged me down in the dumps today. Your pics have made me smile and your positivity has rubbed off on me though and I'm feeling better already so thank you.
Hope you are all having a good Monday.
Yayyyy! I’m glad to read this. Cheers!

It rained a lot yesterday but today the sun is shining brightly.. it’s rightfully cold for December too! Here’s Pickles making an appearance for his lunch..View attachment 313022

Jess had Occupational Therapy this morning and this girl is making progress by leaps and bounds! She was able to move her hand the slightest bit today.. it was very emotional for all of us. It’s really hard work for her but she’s got muscles and nerves responding way ahead of the dr predictions! We are all amazed!
That’s amazing!

What's pretty neat is... I figure I have a male and female Downy woodpecker and an adult redheaded woodpecker visiting so far. So thanks Joe's mum and Maro2bear for helping me with the info. It's a lot of fun to watch.?
Male + female = juveniles to look out for in the summer ?

Good mornooning all!

My post is dreadful at the moment. We are supposed to get daily delivery, Monday to Saturday, but are lucky if we get 3 a week at the moment. It was 2 last week. I guess having our county postal sorting office in the worst affected covid area in the country doesn’t help; there are probably a lot of staff off sick :(

Christmas cards are gradually trickling through and I have some beauties from the CDR on display with some amazing messages inside; thank you ?

The CDR has become a place where friendships are forged and that’s something we should all be proud of, especially our founder Adam @Tidgy's Dad.

Lovely Lena @Kristoff sent me some tasty souvenirs of Canada. Most unexpected and thank you! ?

I have been down in the dumps the last few days. Covid restrictions are finally getting to me. These little acts of friendship may simply be Christmas cards, but they mean a lot. Thank you xxx

Happy Tuesday all.

We are off on a road trip today to visit the Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, on the Delaware Bay. Never been there before - hoping to see lots of migratory birds.
That sounds like fun, lots of little and, maybe big, rescued animals to see.
My sister is nursing two young, undersized hedgehogs who have lungworm at the moment - the rescue centre was full and couldn't take them. Thankfully they are very involved and treating them with meds though.

Hope you are feeling better today LInda,
I've had the blues too and even trivial things have seemed much worse than they actually are.
The CDR cheered me up yesterday and helps me keep things in perspective.
Long may it continue!

Very true - and because people are fed up of being in lockdown they are taking more chances.
The scientists here are expecting the numbers of cases to sharply rise after Xmas :(
I was hoping to see a plastic surgeon after Xmas because the skin graft hasn't taken completely so it's not a pretty sight, but that may not be possible now. Better to wait than get covid though.
Lyn I have been partiming it here. What is the reason for your skin graft if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks, I show Rose all the wonderful comments you all have done. It makes her happy!

Don't mind at all Ray.
I was diagnosed with a stage 1 melanoma a few months ago.
I had a flat dark patch on my face which I ignored for 3 years but my sister nagged me to get it checked and it tuned out to be cancerous. Thankfully the cancer cells have gone but it has left rather an unsightly mess. I can cover it with a dressing though and having to wear face masks has been handy to hide it behind.

Thankfully the cancer is gone. I wish you the best.

Thanks Ray.
I don't even sit in the sun so it was a bit of a shock and just goes to show we should get every new blemish checked out. Lesson well and truly learned by me!
Any news on your lung scan results yet?
