    That's great branie,I'm in a similar situation with my mother but results haven't come back yet.

    I've a few things that I'm I suppose are a little more than trivial.
    Basically everything today couldn't have went any better for me.

    Was told last Monday I need to get something sorted urgently.
    So, choices were waiting list at public hospital or private and get it sorted today.
    Thing was,I don't have health insurance and cost was around 2k.
    Said I'd pay :o
    So this morning had to get Corona test first at hospital so procedure could go ahead.
    Results came back 2 hours later and were negative.
    Then procedure was done 2 hours earlier than schedule and turned out all good!
    Then was told that a public doctor performed it so I would not have to pay for it! :)

    Btw the swab up the nostrils is pretty nasty.

    This love letters post has me smiling.
    I have finally admitted (to myself) that a local farmer is wooing me. His cheeky notes with eggs has progressed to cheekier notes, eggs and flowers. I’m quite shy and he is slowly wearing me down … if he starts on the poetry (or beeping the tractor horn when he passes me on my run) I’ll be a goner!

    I wouldn't call that trivial though. Hopefully things stay that way.

    This is brilliant :):):)

    Just to add, after thinking about the love letter post, its mostly letters about whats going on in his world while were apart. Much the same as probably everyones emailing to each other at the moment. Theres no 3 page tributes to me or anything but theyre from the heart and something I will always be glad to have.

    Sitting here with wee ones watching cartoon network.
    Teen titans go episode was about valentine's Day and it reminded me of how ,on the morning of valentine's Day Tesco is ALWAYS full of stressed, chastened looking men at the till , flowers, 💓 shaped chocolates and card in hand.
    It just gave me a laugh.

    Got to speak to my mother on facetime last night.
    First time seeing her face since early March.
    I asked her was she glad to be able to see my face.
    She replied not really no, and gave a big laugh.
    She may have Alzheimer's but great to see she's still a smart ass!!
    She also tested negative for Corona.

    Emotional dolly here

    Called in to the folks place to drop off the newspaper on the way to work. They were dancing to Randy Travis singing "Forever And Ever, Amen" on the radio. I dropped and ran before they saw me but, to be honest, they only had eyes for each other.

    Oh, I love all the love letters stuff! I am also now very invested in the progress of the Ruby Ring-egg farmer saga -our own TH thread soap opera!


    My TH today is that I'm officially allowed to leave my home today (I mean I've been walking the fields anyway, but now it's official), so I'm going to walk the 4km to my local shop/petrol station and wave in the window at a cousin who will be working there. We're very close and I haven't seen her since the end of January between working abroad and then her working overtime in a shop and me cocooning. Such a simple thing and wouldn't have thought twice about it a few months ago, but I'm super excited.

    The Ouverture of The Italian Girl in Algiers is playing on Lyric FM at the moment. I'm working in the kitchen with that quite high, the smell of freshly brewed coffee, and a chocolate cookie. :)

    Having spend most of the winter going ten rounds with a sld assessor who was emphatic that NO educational establishment in the world, gave out sample answers to students as they were supposed to be able to do this by the time they get there blah blah blah.

    Over the bank hol I got links for some of the worlds' top uni who do just that, best of all, one was the very uni he attended for 7 years!!!!!!!!!!
