Thank you to each and every one of you for reading, liking and responding to my last post!❤️
I really am the eternal optimist. My glass is never half full, it is always overflowing, but I am also realistic! 😊 Last week was horrific, so this week in these uncertain times there are a few things I can focus on to help me cope and be certain of...
I will... I will be able to spend quality time at home with my immediate family, I will have time to spend cooking the most inventive meals with whatever ingredients I have in the house for them 😂 I will have time to spend playing my piano and guitar and singing at home 🎹🎸 (I left the trombone in the studio! 💨) I will play a concert in my garden for the neighbours to hear (they don't know this yet! 😆) I will be able to read some of the books I was given for Christmas and my birthday 📚 I will be able to drive out into the middle of nowhere and run 🏃🏼 I will be doing my bit for the Vitality Running World Cup and for Team HU 🇬🇧🏆 (WE ARE IN THE SEMI FINALS!!!) AND running my virtual Sherwood Pines Half Marathon!!!! GET IN!!!!!
Here's sending you all some positive energy to help you though this week and to help make it bearable!
Love & Kindness & Virtual Hugs to you all xxx 🤗

Keep that glass overflowing Ali, you flew in a Chinook that's some achievement to remember 👍 they fly down the valley by our house you can feel and definitely heat that unmistakable wump wump wump of the blades 👍👍👍
Its great to hear you are feeling a bit more hopeful today Ali. That Chinook ride sounds amazing. I’ve only been in a helicopter once to fly up the side of a mountain in BC to land on a glacier which was brilliant. Hope your garden concert is a huge success!
Well done on getting that glass filled up again. 🎉👍 Wish I could hear the garden concert. Maybe the neighbours will join in as percussionists. 😄 Our niece & her neighbours did a “concert”, each in own garden. They had a banjo, a clarinet and lots of banging, clapping and stomping. 🤣🤣 Your picture reminded me I was once an air cadet - well before 1983! - and got a semi-authorised helicopter ride. But not as impressive as a Chinook <jealous>. 😄 Enjoy those positives. It’s all any of us can do for the moment unless we are in the front line.
Alas, my squadron was in the US - although clearly it was a parallel thing. I was in Washington DC as a teen, and we were “looked after” by Langley Air Force Base in Virginia. So much fun. I loved flying. It was an old L-16 plane - held together by baling twine and chewing gum, they used to say. 🤣🤣
My son was in the ATC and learned to fly in bulldogs. He was lucky enough to fly in a fighter jet from RAF Willenhall when they did mid air refuelling. He was only a kid but he was literally on cloud 9
My car is off the road but I’ve not missed it. I walk most places anywhere or just run/walk. Handy skill to have isn’t it 😃
I’m baking a birthday cake this morning. Best get off and do it I got eggs! 😁
