Keeping the Positivity Going with an idea.

[misty14]

Hello everyone

I want to tell you of a good idea by our neighbour putting a note thru our doors today. His idea is for all residents of our cul de sac to go to the end of our drives at a certain time on a given day and go with our cup of favourite tipple, tea, coffee or stronger for us all to see we're ok and to help with any problems but be keeping a safe distance. Hopefully will ease the isolation feelings and give us some fresh air.

Hope you all will think it a good idea and maybe might implement it in your road too.

We're going to meet tomorrow at 11am. Weather permitting.

Do keep as well and as safe as possible dear friends, this is a very special forum.

Sweet idea!

[misty14 in reply to Hidden]

Its wonderful how innovative we're all being to still be in touch with each other. Hope your well. Xx

[Hidden in reply to misty14]

Thank you. I hope you are also🙏

[misty14 in reply to Hidden]

Trying to be brooksidecourt. Waiting for an op which I won't have now and got effects from pneumonia jab!. How about you?. Xx

[Hidden in reply to misty14]

Just isolating, and sleeping a lot. It’s raining outside so isolation is easy. 😁

What effects did you get? I’m so sorry. Pneumonia isn’t anything to mess with. 🙏praying you’ll be fine any moment.

[misty14 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks so much brooksidecourt. It's flaring my immune system so back to aches, feel poorly, going hot etc. Sleeping. Hopefully with this enforced rest we'll all feel much better for summer and be able to enjoy it. Be safe and well too. Xx

[Hidden in reply to misty14]

Oh no! I’m so sorry. Those aches and pains are so exhausting! (As well as hurtful). I hope they pass for you quickly.

[misty14 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks so much brooksidecourt . Hopefully they will now I'm on MTX. Take care yourself and I hope the weather improves soon. Xx

[Hidden in reply to misty14]

Thank you. I hope things improve for you (but I love the rain. We don’t get much where I am, so I enjoy it😁).

[misty14 in reply to Hidden]

Hi brooksidecourt

Hope you've got better weather, it does make a difference. We awoke to sunshine but very cold so our neighbourly get together didn't really work !. Only two households did it, maybe a bit later on people will need it more!. At least he tried!. Xx

[Hidden in reply to misty14]

He did try. Don’t give up. Maybe a bit more notice so the neighbor’s can schedule it in?

[misty14 in reply to Hidden]

No, we won't give up brookside as this is going on for a longer time , people will appreciate it better. It was probably too early. How are you today?.Xx

[Hidden in reply to misty14]

I’m doing well Misty. Thank you so much🙏. How are you and yours?

[misty14 in reply to Hidden]

That's great brookside court. I'm improving and my parents are well thankfully. This enforced rest might help us all. Xx

[Hidden in reply to misty14]

Very well could be. Maybe the world needed a rest? We’ve come to so many odds on things, we’ve made such a mess of things (generally speaking). Maybe God in His wisdom is giving us all a time out? ☹️. We all needed to go stand in a corner for awhile until we calmed down? 😆

[misty14 in reply to Hidden]

That's a wonderful way of looking at it brooksidecourt. I don't think God would be very impressed with all the panic buying. Naughty step for those but he would like all the offers of help to the vulnerable!. I hope when this is over that the community spirit will go on as people will have had chance to re-evaluate their lives. Xx

[Hidden in reply to misty14]

🙏we can only hope!!

[misty14 in reply to Hidden]

Too right. Xx

[weathervane]

Thats a wonderful idea 😀, ive been watching videos of the singers in Italy and the exercise classes on the balconies in Spain and it really lifts your heart . Give you neighbours a big cheers from all of us xxxxx

[misty14 in reply to weathervane]

Its heartwarming isn't it weathervane to see us humans adapting in adversity. I loved the flat yoga and there are also virtual choirs happening too. It does lift our spirits. Keep safe and well. Xx

[weathervane in reply to misty14]

The simplest ideas are always the best xxx

[misty14 in reply to weathervane]

Too right weathervaneXx

[Horsewhisper]

Fingers tightly crossed you get your phone call today Maggie!. I guess he has to be careful when it's not face to face. There not used to it as a specialism!. It's painfully slow when we need it the most!.

Sorry about your hubby. Dad has suddenly got it so maybe yours will now!. They need extra time !.

Awe! Tea hugs at the end of the drive! 🤗🤗

[misty14 in reply to panda2]

It was cold and windy panda but nice to get fresh air. Sadly only two households participated but it was worth a try. Maybe too soon to do it!.

Hope you are both managing some car outings and keep well and safe. Xx

[KayHimm]

We are going to try zoom get togethers here. Should be fun! Xk

[misty14 in reply to KayHimm]

Hope so Kay, it's great how we're all thinking up new ways to be in touch!.

Our drive get together didn't take off sadly!. Only two households participated but it was worth a try!. Hope you fare better. Xx

[KayHimm in reply to misty14]

Two households is a start! Xx

[misty14 in reply to KayHimm]

And from little acorns oak trees grow Kay. We will keep trying. Hope you enjoyed your zooming!. Xx
