A slightly crazy day, Becky! Walk post still to be written but I’m up on the roof right now. Decking restored and all right with the world… well, almost! Hope you had a good weekend? 🤗💕
Thanks, darlin! People are very kind. 🙂 🙂 It’s Mother’s Day in the UK today and I’ve had lovely messages from both of mine, so life could be much worse.
This looks more like a Sue-door. I’m sorry for your glums. The missing is horrible, and comments suggest there are a lot of people feeling that sadness. Soon, is my wish for you.
Vaccination is so slow. My Polish daughter had her first this week: it looks as if Warsaw’s in lockdown again. We’re next in line but our sums don’t match theirs. They were saying mid March. Sums say next year!!
Thanks, sweetheart! I was just thinking of you. I was feeling a bit more hopeful by the end of the day yesterday, but meeting still keeps getting pushed further and further away. We chatted and James was full of the joys of Spring and optimism over a potential buy, while Mick kept trying to bring him back down to earth. I just love that smiling face. He’ll come back down soon enough. It’s Lisa’s turn to be unhappy and I’m powerless to help. Whether near or far, but I’d love a cuddle. Stay safe, Meg 🙂 🙂
Wishing your son+1 good luck with the house-hunting Jo. Here in the states the further they are from the cities these days, the fewer the number of homes that are available. Houses in the outskirts are selling sight unseen for more than the asking price. It’s crazy out there. Nice to capitalize if you’re selling but then you cannot afford to buy a replacement. Loved your six words and your image. Spot on!
Thanks, Tina! He was thrilled to have a city centre apartment and the canal to walk by, but a year of being cooped up in there changes your outlook. The suburbs here are generally cheaper and the rental was astronomical so we’re hoping it all works out.
Sounds like a mix of good and bad news, Jo, so sending you as many virtual hugs as you can handle. I missed what’s going on with the house hunting, so clue me in. My s-i-l and b-i-l in France are signed up for their first shots later this month which is marvelous news. My husband got his first last week and my parents and I are done with ours. Fun year when one of the highlights is getting shots! 🙂
Yes, it seems to be a popular topic of conversation, Janet 🙂 🙂 The house-hunting is just my son and partner trying to get out of city centre rental and onto the mortgage ladder. Fraught with difficulties and it would be nice to be near at hand but it’s not an option right now.
Hello fabulous, hope you are feeling a bit more cheerful this morning. Sending hugs

I’d stay on roof and just enjoy sunshine – there’s always next week to share your post!!
and yes a fabulous weekend, thank you. I even managed to join the Saturday chat for a while
Jo! I have a photo of that exact same door!!!! Almost included it the other day, but didn’t. How funny!
Still no sign of anyone repairing it, Kelly 🙂 🙂
What a fabulous old door! It is so striking with the aged wood and broken bottom edge!
I might start a door-hugging society, Debbie 🙂 🙂
Closed but intriguing just the same. 🙂
The house beyond could still be lovely. It’s that kind of place, Julie 🙂 🙂
That looks like a very old door Jo. I could do with a lot of cheer too, so send me when you have some 😔
It’s definitely tired, Sling. 😦 You not doing so well?
No I am not, I could do with a nice slumber but I don’t seem to have the ability to hibernate like a snake!
that door needs some attention. hope you’re feeling better, Jo. lovely weekend to you 🙂
Thanks, darlin! People are very kind. 🙂 🙂 It’s Mother’s Day in the UK today and I’ve had lovely messages from both of mine, so life could be much worse.
It looks like something has been nibbling the bottom of that door! I hope you’re feeling a bit more on the upside now.
I am, thanks, Nikki! It comes and goes 🙂 🙂
Lovely shot and line Jo.
Thanks, hon 🙂 🙂

It’s always like that, Jo. Sometimes there is more than one 😘😊
It’s true, Hanna. Thank you 🙂 🙂

Those doors could do with some TLC. I hope you’re treating yourself to some TLC too Jo.
Wine and cashew nuts at the moment, Carol 🙂 🙂
That sounds good.
If that door opened, it looks like it might not close again. Lovely weathered image though.
It’s not on it’s own, Graham. We have more than our share of sad doors 🙂 🙂
The mice that nibbled the bottom of that must have been humongous! Glad you’re feeling a bit better and life is slightly more hopeful,
Thanks, Anabel 🙂 🙂 I suspect it might be a bit draughty in there!
