Sylv

So sorry to hear about your friend (((((hugs))))

I sleep with the heating on very low, in fact it never gets switched off until the weather gets warmer. Thinking about switching it off now as the sun is shining.

Yes - I WAS up late wasn't I ?? :-D

I can't remember when I last saw midnight but my body-clock is on the blink at the moment :-S - I get desperately tired around mid-day and fall asleep then I seem to get a 'second wind' in the evening :-S :-D

Anyway - I'm glad you have 'come home' !

How are you doing?

Dea x

Hi Dea

I didn't realise you were up so late last night or I'd of stayed around and I've missed you too

Thanks Cyn It feels good to be back at the moment. Just like coming home :-D

Brekkie looks fabulous Sylvia, I'm spoilt for choice

ermmmmm I'm rather peckish so I'll help myself to a full English and coffee

Good morning all :-)

Thanks for the lovely breakfast Sylvs, though I will have mine a little later if you don't mind, I have woken up with a 'thick head' this morning!

My own fault - I overslept and the central heating came on while I was still asleep. By the time I woke up I felt dreadful :-(

I can't understand how people can sleep with the heating on all night - it gets SO stuffy !

Does anyone else have this problem or is it just me ? :-S

Dea Xxx

every where is covered with pink snow

The wind is blowing away all the pink petals from the cherry trees! :-D

The flowers are not lasting as long as they usually do ................ but the streets, grassy boulevards, sidewalks and gardens sure do look pretty all covered in the pink "snow :-D

Not too sure that car owners who leave their cars parked on the street are too happy with the petals sticking on the vehicles though :-D
