Another week closer to some sort of normality

or is it???

We are all called into a 'state of the nation' meeting this morning at 8am and I think that most of us are under the impression it is the news of a sale.

Or maybe we are just closing, which wouldn't come as a surprise to me.

They are calling in all the furloughed staff so the plot thickens.

No point in surmising, we will all know soon enough.

The weekend has been a quiet one, still not moving on with THE CHAIR although it has moved out of the dining room.

I  had a lovely cocktail hour on Friday , when I tried a Bamboo.

Extra dry and rosso vermouth and fino sherry. A dash of orange bitters and a twirl of orange peel.

It was very nice, but I can assure you one is enough!

The search for this weeks cocktail begins again.

Saturday, I went to drop food for my poorly sister who is very much on the mend.

She very kindly gave me a bottle of White Port. Well obviously I had to try it!

And it was lovely.

Sunday was the usual trying to get organised for the week ahead and not being too successful.

Having delved into the dark side of social media for a journalist friend, I had stayed on a couple of  groups.

One is for a now highly popular  TV programme.

For Mothering Sunday, I had posted a pic of mum and I and also the breakfast that I had prepared for me.

Stating that my mum was no longer around and despite having no children of my own I was celebrating all mums and treating myself.

Well blow me down, one 'lovely' follower of  the group saw fit to call me 'weird' for celebrating Mothers Day when I had no mum and was 'childless' (her words)

As I had joined this group as part investigation , I was not surprised, I had seen other things on there that were pretty rude and cruel.

Firstly no one knows how hard it is for me ( or so many others) to face Mothers day, no one knows why I don't have children and every one, especially in these times is really trying to face each day in the best way.

Please be aware that I was not phased by this in any way. I know  why I was doing it. You have to feel slightly sorry for keyboard warriors, they have nothing else to do but be vile.

If you can't be kind, be quiet' is my motto.

Wonderful word of the day

Letating

From the Latin verb associated with happiness, which gave rise to the seldom used, but should be brought back , word 'letating' which meant, making glad.

we should all try to be letating in our daily life.

Have a fab week, I may be here tomorrow, not sure, what happens today may scupper my week.

see you soon.
