Good morning, and a happy Monday to all!
My customary greeting to everyone who joined us this week and for your contributions to the community too. I hope you'll find the group helpful and please feel free to contribute your own expertise as well as ask for help when needed.
I guess that for some of us, today is a long-awaited day with a slight relaxing of covid19 rules in England. It won't make a huge difference for me as we don't have family or friends nearby, but at least we can now take the odd guilt-free walk along the foreshore, or in a green space without fear of breaking any laws. If you are managing to meet up and get out a little more, please enjoy but continue to take care and stay safe.
How was the weekend? Mine got a little curtailed with our lift going out of action. I'd planned to do some grocery shopping but the thought of having to lug it up 4 flights of stairs was too much to contemplate, so we put it off until today.
I'd always planned to devote yesterday to a little bit of scrap-booking and had quite an interesting day, just for fun. And, again just for fun, I've posted the scrapbook page I completed yesterday.
On the face of it, it's just sticking bits into a book, but I actually make quite a production of it, searching online or in bits of old book etc., for things that I like which will fit in with my theme, yesterday's being Peter Rabbit of Beatrix Potter fame. I think my husband thinks I'm beyond help as I gather all the elements round about me and get into a fury of cutting out, sticking, colouring, adding embellishments. And by the time I've finished, the clearing up is horrible. But it really passes a day quickly.
Please let us know what you all did to pass your time. And have a great week!
Took it easy yesterday, as very windy here and still is this morning! Saturday afternoon I called my sister in Germany for a few hours! Was good to talk and encourage one another! Scrapbook page looks great 👍😁
Glad it was you who had to tidy up afterwards! I wonder who cooked dinner then? 😂
Oh dear Snowdrops_17, I made my husband have leftovers for dinner! 😊. Glad to hear you caught up with your sister and that you were able to encourage each other. That can really help!
Well couldn't be bothered making tea last night, felt full somehow! But had a good breakfast this morning, now going to get 2 Birthday Cards or may be 3 ! Never stops in a big family 🤗
