The sun is shining and it is a Lola day I seem to be very busy lately, keeps me out of mischief I am sleeping so much better, all of a sudden, so that is good news too. It has been a long time, since the end of January.

So happy for your Joanne that things are looking up for you now. I admire you very much.

Thankyou elna i shall treasure your comments. I thought i would put the slips of paper in a book and when i feel down look at them to cheer up. Its good also to read back threads on here. Its such a supportive site. How are you keeping?
The sun makes us feel much better. I think i have over done something as my ankles, wrists and one thumb joints are agony today but it is not spoiling my mood though.
Hope you are ok from joanne

Dear Joanne

That is a really good idea to put all the slips of paper into a book. I am sure you had some truly lovely comments. You keep looking at them, but not only when you need cheering up. What I admire so much about you is that you have not sat back and wallowed but sat up and done so much to help yourself by joining this and attending that. I believe you have always been a strong person but that person was hiding, but no more.

I am sorry to hear that your joints are not being kind to you today. Tomorrow is another day.

Night, night, Joanne,

Love
Elna x(())

Aw, beautiful! And you are not going on at all It will be well worth the wait, my lovely I get all excited over things like that too, we are in the throes of decorating our hall and landing and I have "talked" about it for so long that I am behaving like an excited little girl! It is nowhere finished but already looks so much better

We are behaving like two little kiddies with a new toy, aye?

Been in the garden with the electric hedge trimmers and trimmed up the winter jasmine into a much more orderly hedge, albeit it a little wonky on the top, but my shoulder is not too pleased thank goodness for anti inflams when hubby sees it, I know he will say, so you have butchered the winter jasmine then?

It is exciting and it is lovely to have new stuff/improve old stuff. The problem I have is keeping everything tidy! I do feel better when I make an effort and tidy something - always a reason to be cheerful. DD

I was hoping to get my patio done in May too! But then the shower floor and other bathroom floor needed sorting so swapped to planning that. But now need to change attic into a bedroom for my autistic son.
He is still in my bed and I am getting veiled threats(school mostly) that he needs to be in his own room.Well I know that but despite a 4 bedroom house we have to find a space on the undetached wall and without windows onto the front road(he can be an exhibitionist)!I can monitor him in my room and will worry if he is elsewhere.So this seems the best solution.

Sorry to go on just Barbaras patio post reminded me of what I was hoping for this summer but you cant have it all.
Hope it looks beautiful Barbara!

The PSAO has packed up its instruments and left the building! (Psoriatic Arthritis Symphony Orchestra). For the past few weeks its been the 1812 Overture, cannons, bells and everything - extreme pain in all areas. Today, however, just a solo harpist. Pain levels have dropped dramatically overnight which is worrying. I shall enjoy it while it lasts. I'm sure rehearsals will resume soon. DD

I spoke too soon. Stupid girl. DD

My feelings exactly! Never mind, stuff happens, it serves me right for doing some vacuuming. DD
