I have become a strong subscriber in the idea that things work out the way they do for a reason even if we don't understand why at the time.

Why do we have to believe in fate?

I have evidence of spirit world and astrology it's good to have faith it keeps me going

I will still be playing it safe! The vaccine is a start, but not the whole end game. Just being able to have my close family around me will be enough for me for the time being.💕💕 xx

in reply to leo60

👍🌈🌹I agree

I will still wait a while I think, just to be on the safe side. After that, a hair cut. Great photo by the way.

in reply to springcross

Thank you.

I think there will be a queue at the hairdressers/barbers maybe it would be better to wait until it quietens down.

in reply to

We have a mobile hairdresser who is our friend as well, she will book us in as soon as she's allowed to. It's been a nightmare for her and everyone else who work for themselves because what they are given off the government is nothing really. Xxxx❤️🤗💜🤗🌈🌹

Poor hubby lol

Thankyou.

It must be handy being able to cut your own..lucky you!

Going to see Ian and Chantelle , Mike will come with Alannah who he has missed so much. Hugging everyone. Haircut. Meeting up for lunch and a natter. Also let's see if we can all try and meet up at some point. 👍🌹😊🌈

Meeting up with my best mate who I haven't seen for over a year

in reply to MadBunny

Its crazy how long we have gone without meeting some people we know very well.

MadBunny in reply to

Absolutely. I remember the last week in Feb last yr. Went to a craft fair, a gig, took a close friend out for lunch, met up with my best friend for shopping and a meal- then that was it! Just been on the phone over an hour to another friend and we realised how much we've missed each other 😒🐰

in reply to MadBunny

I've spoken to four family members in the last year face to face, haven't seen a friend at all.

Roll on the end of this..

Haven't seen any family at all since Christmas 2019. I'm desperate to see my kid brother- I say kid- he's 55 but he's still 'our kid' to me😁🐰

in reply to MadBunny

lolI am looking forward to seeing my sister :)

I am sure that lockdown will end in stages... so we may not be allowed to hug anyone until a month or two after we can go to the cafe or restaurant for lunch.¿Haircut? I DIY, and I have not trimmed my beard since August - I am waiting for some warmer weather!

Is a certain politician sporting a "muppet" hairstyle in sympathy - or is it a permanent stylistic/fashion choice?

in reply to S11m

Who knows lol

I definitely think that haircut will be for me too Jimtom. I managed not to fret about mine in lockdown one but it's much harder to ignore it this time around.

in reply to

It will have to be done 😀

Massage and Facial

in reply to

That would be nice..

Hi Jimtom! Amazing and beautiful mountains, these Mourne Mountains! Had to look that up! ⛰️🌄🙏Need a haircut, get my hearing aids renewed, and new specs I need urgently! Hearing aids are priority, as one of it broke last month!

Specs, yes need my eyesight checking again!

Haircut if I can afford that afterwards, as frames and glasses can mount up to £350! We shall see!!!!! One step at at time 😁🤗🙏🌄

in reply to Snowdrops_17

Yes those mountains are indeed beautiful, thank you.

I might go for new specs too, is it hard to get new hearing aids?

I paid a lot of money for my last pair of specs and list them 2 months later 😖

Have a good day. 😊

Hearing Aids are from the NHS, so no, don't cost anything Jimtom! I wear my specs all the time and go to Specsavers here in my city, Ripon, North Yorkshire! Apropo my sons love hillwalking and 2 of them go snowboarding or skiing! Sadly not possible now during Pandemic! My 3rd youngest went to Tignes, 2 years ago, and he so enjoyed that!

I can ski and ice skate but due to vascular disease in my legs, even fast walking is a problem! Used to very fast!

Had heart attack now nearly 2 years ago, 2 Angioplasties, 3 stents and legs started cramping in my left calf! It was horrible!

13 cm blockage in my femoral artery but no suggestions of stenting this! I would have been at least another 2 months of work as well!

I was sad Jimtom that the consultant said it's not bad enough to operate! Hope they are not waiting for people's legs to go snow white, lack of circulation, until they will consider! It's greatly inhibiting me to walk longer then 30 mins in this cold weather, summer is better but I have to avoid full blast sun and our restaurant kitchen is boiling in summer!

Anyway better stop! Hope you had some snow to enjoy lately 🤗🌄👍😁

in reply to Snowdrops_17

You sound like you kept fit but still ended up with health problems, I hope everything gets sorted out for you.

Your sons sound like they enjoy themselves, you can't beat a day out hiking.

I have been to Yorkshire a couple of times, once stayed in a village called Kettlewell, it was really nice.

We got a sprinkle of snow last night, hopefully more to come later on.

Yes go to Specsavers! I find them really good! My prescription is always excellent 👌☺️

in reply to Snowdrops_17

That's where I go, it's less than 5 minute walk from me.

Thank you.. 🤓

Snowdrops_17 in reply to

Well it's not far for me either but will call them to find out if I can get my eyes checked in lockdown! My frame has to chips as well and I do need new ones, my glasses have couple of scratches, so yes comes with my job as kitchen porter I suppose 😁😁😁

in reply to Snowdrops_17

My glasses are scratched too so they need sorted, I don't think our specsavers is open.

You need your glasses for that job 😀

Snowdrops_17 in reply to

Well Jimtom I need my all the time 🤓😆For reading and distance, and got a lazy eye, from birth on I think, so I need prisms for both eye to rectify that! But it's not severe! But found focusing on a line difficult when doing crafts! Ha well, age 😂😂🤣🤣

in reply to Snowdrops_17

Age is great 😏 I got verifocals then lost them, I didn't really like them anyway. Without glasses I can't read at all 😀
