    I'm sitting out in the garden, watching himself cut the grass, the dogs running around, the birds stuffing themselves at the feeders and soaking up that bit of sun for the good of my immune system. :)

    A little while back I posted in the TA thread that I'd been losing earrings and worst of all my necklace from my fiancee (instead of a ring, because I don't wear rings) disappeared.

    I'd been in off humour at the time. When covid 19 caused the wedding cancellations it seemed like the missing necklace had been a sign.

    Ive felt much happier and more enthusuastic about our plans withthe pressure of a large gathering, and we were thinking of having a small, forest wedding instead, until this issue is fixed. Today a load of books crashed off my bookshelf and a missing earring was among them. Noidea how.


    I replaced them securely, sat down, and other books at the other end of the shelf flew violently off. It looked like something had pushed them. I expected to see my cat actibg the idiot but no sign of it. I collected upand replaced them and sat down.

    Then noticed I missed one book, standing up staring me in the face. Its a local history book about a place that was connected to someone significant to my life last year. I then noticed my engagement necklace lying on the ground where the books fell.

    I dont really know what to think, but it feelsl ike a good sign if anything and I'm TH my missing things have returned to me in such a dramatic manner :D

    There's talk of turning Rottnest island where tons of those happy little Quokkas live into a quarantine zone. Hope it won't affect or displace them too much. Sorry not a TH but you were all chatting about them recently so when my sister who lives near there told me I thought of you THers.

    I was out walking last week with the kids ( not anymore because I believe it’s so important to stay at home now and stop the spread) Anyway On the walk the kids were by me warned to stay well away from people.

    So they turned it into a game. When they say people walking towards us from a distance they announced to me ‘Attention Attention human alert human alert. ‘’ I had to smile because even though it’s awful but necesssy to live like this they turned it into a kind of new game or coping mechanisms. I am proud of that resilience or whatever it is. Sorry for long post.

    When you feel like you just really have a nice conversation with someone. It is like the best feeling ever.

    My sister buying me some beers and getting the shopping in when I've had a tough day.

    There’s a lovely picture of two children with a lamb who’s wearing mismatched socks (yes, I do mean the lamb!) on the front of the Sunday Times today. It was World Down Syndrome Day yesterday.

    Puts it all into perspective, for me anyway. A good reminder to me of what’s actually important
