Hello BLF friends

How to keep serene on winter days?

Well exercising of course πŸ˜ƒ. I’m laughing because I’m carrying my heating pad everywhere..

And trying to think positively, dreaming of sunshine β˜€οΈ , spring flowers 🌷 and brighter days to come..

Those affirmations can be boring, find 3 or 4 simple ones that you can remember and say to yourself when needed, start with I am..

So what is on offer today:

10mn breathing meditations

youtu.be/h0H_4Cf_B1Y

youtu.be/AEiuvYQfWoA

Found a cheerful unhealthy picture to start the day. It must have been me teasing Dad, always on a diet and having huge icecreams on a Sunday πŸ’•

Have a nice day xx

Gosh, that’s a rich start to the day, before breakfast! Ha! πŸ˜‚ I’ll look at it again at coffee time....soon! You do know how to cheer us up, Fran πŸ’•πŸŒΉπŸ’ƒ You’ve helped me get my priorities right after our poor show at Wembley last night βš½οΈπŸ™€ I’ll be supporting your team instead if they go on like this!!!

I’ll return to your meds later, thanks. I’ll need them! It’s a Manchester day for me today, and rumour has it we may have had an offer on the house!!! πŸ˜³πŸ™

Have a good day, Fran πŸ§—πŸ»β€β™€οΈ Thank goodness for heat pads πŸ’ͺ πŸ‹πŸ»β€β™€οΈ πŸŠβ€β™‚οΈ

Hi emoji Penny πŸ’•

You cheer me up with your little people πŸ˜‰

I am glad you have an offer on the 🏑 , hope things start going in the right direction.

You don’t want to support my team, spoiled, with more money than sense so I told Skischool!!

I didn’t check your score, will look that up.πŸ₯…βš½οΈ

So I am getting ready to go to the sport centre πŸ€ΈπŸ»β€β™€οΈon the treadmill but my way πŸ˜‚ then a gentle stretch swim πŸŠβ€β™€οΈ..I am starting to meet people and have small talk..keeps me positive β˜•οΈπŸŒΊπŸ€ž

It is not worth looking at the weather outside..2 deg rain β˜”οΈ and snow ❄️

Then minus minus for the rest of the week..

So the ice-cream picture is comfort food!!!

Have a good Manchester day!!

Glad my little people bring you cheer 🀑, dear Fran πŸ’ Shows I’m a bit on the visual (and frivolous) side πŸ‘€ πŸ‘€ Saves thinking of other things, I suppose.

The score was two nil last night, with first goal for Spurs in the first minute ⚽️ 😬 With all our expensive and clever forwards looking on....⚽️πŸ₯… !! Second was an own goal 😫

About to drive off to Manchester, with hailstones spread over the ground this week 🌧 Come on Spring 🌷it’s Feb today 🌀

Enjoy your exercise πŸ€ΈπŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ€Έβ€β™‚οΈgentle swim, β˜•οΈ coffee and company. Sounds as lovely as an ice cream meringue 🍨 and will refresh you more!

Just heard from agent, a second viewing arranged for Saturday πŸ˜€πŸ™ƒπŸ˜€ Hope the paint will be dry 🀞

My husband was very pleased with the Spurs result. He expected they would not win that game xx

Yatzy in reply to Jackieshep57

I’m afraid I expected and hoped for a Man U win but no luck! Glad your husband happy though if I can’t be....! Hope you’re feeling well on this spring-like day. It is in N Wales anyway 🌀🌷

Good of you to ask, Fran🌸. Just sitting here, feeling a bit jaded. πŸ™

Saturday viewing was a strange one....here well over an hour, with her daughter, turning every stone, but left abruptly, with the words β€˜My circumstances have changed. I’ll contact the agent.’ She had made an offer here a year ago before losing her own buyer (these chains!), so we thought she was back, enthusiastic and ready to go, so had built up our hopes. The agents haven’t been able to make contact with her since....feels a bit rude when we spent so long with her on a second viewing, but there we are 🀬 I’ve been feeling a bit down in consequence. We’ve had so many viewers and been on the market so long! Thought we’d got there at last

I think our recent painting activities gave me a couple of days of migraines too and low level wheezing, which hasn’t helped. Although my lung problems are nothing compared to some coping on this forum, I absolutely dread asthma exacerbations. They’re so draining, mentally as well as physically, and usually take a month out of life. I’m sorry, I’m obviously an absolute wuss πŸ€’πŸ€•

Hoping you’re well yourself and all is falling into place for you as you prepare for your Paris visit. A constant hurdle facing you, I’m sure. 😨

Your team keeps winning, I notice ⚽️ πŸ€—πŸ˜² I’m not venturing to Old Trafford till the weather improves....bit traumatic last time, soaked through to my thermal long johns with icy rain!! Ha!! πŸ˜“πŸ˜€πŸ™ and a paltry one nil game!

Have a good day, Fran πŸ’•πŸŒ·πŸ’žπŸŒΉ love Penny xx

in reply to Yatzy

Hi Penny

She sounds like a weirdo honestly, a time waster..

Sorry to hear you are unwell..all that stress doesn’t help your asthma..keep it controlled, phone Asthma uk helpline for help. You may need a short course of steroids..when I have an allergy I have to take a zirtek and 20mg of prednisone a day until improved.

We have a cup match tonight. I am ready to watch πŸ˜ƒ

Keep warm!!

Lots of love

Fran πŸ’“

Oooh what a lovely picture...my favourite so far! I'll have two πŸ˜‚πŸ¨πŸ§πŸ¦πŸ˜‚

You right about the affirmations...they do help by the way. And hopefully your right about spring! Though I don't want it just yet...I've too much to do!

Have a lovely evening xx

Hello Anne πŸ’“

I suppose Spring is your busy time..

You’ve got so much to get better for.

How are you doing? Are the girls helpful?

I am watching some Swedish series on Channel 4 on the ipad and a match on tv..so busy multitasking πŸ˜ƒ

Lots of love

Hi Fran yes spring is the busy bit, only beaten by autumn with everything ripening at once πŸ˜‚. My girls and I are a well-oiled machine though now and work well together so it's not so bad 😊

I am enjoying the odd bit of sunshine we are getting though...makes such a difference. I'm feeling more mobile these days, and so long as I don't push things I'm doing ok. No lifting, no pushchair, minimal driving and not too much bending or twisting..the list feels endless! But I'm getting there 😊.

I hope things are going well for you and your team won? Have a lovely evening anyway and thanks for asking after me xxπŸ’•πŸ’•

Hello Anne πŸ’“

Glad you are getting better and the girl are fine.😊

Deep grey here, looking like snow..

My team Paris St Germain or PSG for short πŸ˜‰ well we are top of the French league but I am not rejoiced somehowπŸ˜ƒ

Still we have a match today and I shall be in front of my tv at 4pm your time,my embroidery in one hand and Aria 🐱by my side!!πŸ₯…βš½οΈ

Have a lovely Saturday πŸ’•

Ooh good luck for the match then! I'm helping my eldest make a 3D Fish Beanie Hat today, as a school project, so its sewing here too! She had me cutting out seaweed out of fleece material last night πŸ˜‚. A nice bit of bonding time though 😊.

Rain here...again...sigh.

Have a lovely day xxx
