Many thanks for your kind thoughts
Whenever I’m feeling distressed I have an outlet. It’s right here, with you lovely people. It’s a huge reason why we blog, isn’t it? Our emotional safety net, which means we can express our doubts and fears, however foolish, however irrational, and know that we will not be harshly judged. You are immensely kind. My thanks to you all for giving me this space. Meanwhile, Debbie is busy circling, with Six Words. Happy weekend!
You take care Jo.. 😉
Thanks, darlin. And you! 🙂 🙂
beautiful flower, Jo! thank you 🙂
I love the colour of this one, LolaWi. Usually they are pink or white 🤗🌸💮💕
The kind words and supportive people I meet online via my blog were unexpected, but are very welcome. ♥
It’s like a second family sometimes, David 🤗💕
♥ hugs
So wonderful to have this community to express ourselves, whether it be light & joyful or a need to let go of some of the things that are making our heart feel heavy. Always happy to have an ear my friend💕
I was just talking to some of the ladies on Zoom. Never short of a smile or 2, Lynn. Or a hug 🤗💕
Lovely colour oleander. I’m debating whether or not to buy some of these. In containers of course, no room left in the garden borders! Hope you are feeling a bit more chipper today. I’m having a blog fest as it is far too windy to venture outdoors. Poor plants – no mercy for them! I fear there will be a lot of wind damaged clematis. Stay safe over there!
Just been talking to the ladies on Zoom and Sue was freezing. All in long sleeves. What happened to the lovely Bank Holiday I keep reading about? Melting here! My trumpet vines are going crazy. Which is steak and chips day? 😍💕
It’s so windy Jo! I am in long sleeves too, but a short skirt if that counts! Monday should be nice and the rest of the week warming up too. I prefer not to melt 🙂 Birthday is next Sunday. I might take him up the hill for a surprise picnic 🥪🥙🧁🍾
Nice idea! Do you wear gloves for gardening? It’s just that oleander are notorious for the sap, aren’t they? 🤔💕
Funny you should say that as I have a rash on one hand at the moment. I have been wearing gloves for the recent work of emptying spring bulb pots, but must admit I don’t all the time.
It is a strange time to live in, and you have every right to express your thoughts like you did in your last post. Good to hear things are looking up over there, and hopefully this all blows over soon. Hope you have a good weekend Jo. Lots of love across the miles 🙂
Scorching hot this week, Mabel. The Brit in me isn’t happy 🤣🤣 Possibly evening walks by the sea. Thanks darlin 💕💕
Cheers to happiness 🥂 🤗🤗
I won’t argue with that 🤣💕💕
Beautiful image, Jo and pleased to see some happier words. Take care x
Having a different kind of melt down today, Debs. Thanks for the invite. Not sure 😎🌞💕
I feel the same, Jo. Take care! ❤
Sending you some sunshine today, Jill. We have a surfeit 😎💕💕
The flowers are beautiful, dear Jo, just like your soul.
Would you like a piece of the apple-pear-nuts-grandmarnier-cake I just made? The smell will make you feel better, and the taste will make you feel good.
Dutchie hugs, take care!

It sounds like heaven on a plate, Marion. Thank you so much! Trying to stay cool today 😎💕💕
😀🤗😍
Blowing kisses from afar 🤗💕💕
Thinking of you today, Jo.
Bless you darlin, I’m fine! Thanks for caring. Seriously hot today 😎💕
Good to know you are fine ❤️
Pleased you are feeling better Jo. As you swelter we are setting records of the opposite kind. Today was the coldest day since the 1920’s, 16deg, down to 6deg tonight. Brrrrrrr not our usual sunny weather for over a week now. Got the thermal vest on and pulled the doona down from the cupboard.
Crazy world in more ways than one, darlin 😕💕
I got a bit distressed yesterday when I read about changes to WordPress coming on 1st June.
Same here! Been hanging on to the old style Dashboard relentlessly 🙄💕
Did you read all the negative comments about the new system under that recent blog about the new system Jo? Change for the sake of change? Arghh, tearing my hair out…😱
I’ve not gone past seeing the invitation to ‘get ahead of the game’ and studiously ignoring it. The end is nigh! They don’t want us old dinosaurs. Find a 10 year old, quick! 🤣🤣🤣
We’ll see….
I just know it is going to be a bad time. My glass is half empty!
Oh yes me too Andrew. I can see a huge stress spike coming and lots of “blue air” surrounding my computer…
Some changes have already taken place. My picture galleries no longer work on a scroll through.
I fear that it is going to be bad.
Oh dear, but I guess it keeps the old grey matter working, all be it slowly….
You will still have the option to use the Classic editor in WP Admin, which I do, never went over to the block editor. If you use the block editor already I don’t think much will have changed, just making it easier.
Thanks for this. I have never used the Block Editor. WordPress updates rarely provide improvements to the sort of postings that I do.
I agree, something always goes wrong, let’s hope they have done a proper bug test this time!
I use the old one too. Hoping we’ll still be able to access it. 🤣💕
Well it says we will be able to in the support document.
This whole period has been one hell of a rollercoaster for sure!! I think sharing the ups and downs just makes it all slightly easier to deal with. I hope you have a lovely weekend – I’m very jealous of your hot weather!! 🙂
Hasn’t it just! 🙂 🙂 30C is too hot for me. No pleasing some folks, is there? Typical Brit at heart. 🙂
Hahaha, I’m always hankering after hot weather, which of course is generally lacking in the UK! It’s such a weird time and has been so difficult hasn’t it. Just trying to take it a day at a time.
We are living through very strange times, aren’t we? Nothing is as it should be. I’m glad you are feeling a bit better today, and that picture of a flower is a very cheering one.
I like to say it with flowers, Elaine. Seriously hot this week and the oleanders are going wild. 🙂 🙂 Bit like this crazy woman! Love the colour of this one.
Wild oleanders sounds lovely! 🙂
I hope you’re feeling a little better today. You’re right: things are a little overwhelming just now, but if we can support one another … we just might get through! Have a good (sunny?) weekend x
Scorching! Will be over 30C today so plans will be waterside for a while and shade 🙂 🙂 I’m fine, Margaret. We went out for a meal last night, just the two of us- an alien concept last week! The feelings are still there but the support was immense. James should have been here this week and I’m sure that’s a factor. Have a good weekend too!
🙂
I second Margaret’s thoughts
You’re welcome! 🙂 Have a nice weekend!
Hot, isn’t it? 🙂 🙂 You too!
My words weren’t that kind. Pull yourself together love!
That’s the kind of tough love I’m accustomed to from the other half, Jonno 🙂 🙂
Only kidding Jo. Life is a rollercoaster isn’t it? Just have to handle the ups as well as the downs as well as we can.
I know, hon- you’re a great kidder/kiddo? 🙂 🙂
Big kid more like.
Flowers are Beautiful.

Sorry hon- did mean to read it yesterday, but I ran out of time. I will get there 🙂 🙂
