Whoever gets this cheerful card won’t be able to stop smiling as it is so bright and cheerful. I’m so glad to hear that Matt is no longer having to spend all of his working hours with someone who is not going to behave sensibly! What s a relief. I’m sure we all understand the fear of less money coming in to pay the bills etc. but people must think of others too. I hope you are ok my lovely xx<br />I’ve had a catch up ladies and I’m glad you and families seem to be ok, may it stay that way!!<br /> Michele thank you for the great shipwreck shots you have shared. How interesting it must have been to actually see one for the first time. I will try to remember to have a look at the website x<br />Sending love and hugs to you all with extras for Lynda, Mum and all in need. Take care xxMrs Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16179962719631818018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-34914982977374884942020-04-15T15:12:03.047+01:002020-04-15T15:12:03.047+01:00Hi Sandra and evening.

Must’ve been fascinating to see it emerging from the water.<br />Such a relief Sandra about Matt being furloughed, and not having to be with his colleague. I still can’t understand some people, had another residents daughter go into her mothers apartment from her patio. Unbelievable!! There were a couple more suspected cases of the virus in the care home yesterday and I am utterly amazed we’ve had no cases with our independent living residents. Sadly though, if relatives keep sneaking in, I fear this will no longer be the case!<br />Anyway, I hope you’re all well and having a good day.<br />Hugs to all xxxSonia Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10959626260133692438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-29481259768170691742020-04-15T13:41:23.207+01:002020-04-15T13:41:23.207+01:00Hello Sandra and ladies,
Sandra your card is beaut...Hello Sandra and ladies,<br />Sandra your card is beautiful, this would certainly brighten up anyone’s day love how are you mix the flowers. Sounds as if you had a good shopping trip yesterday, pleased you managed to get everything you wanted. I’m sure you’re very relieved to hear that Matt has been furloughed and the girls have received their furloughed pay - every little helps. Last week daughter had an email saying her salary was going to be reduced by 20% possibly until the end of the year (tough - because she is the main breadwinner) to help the company get through this difficult time, she said some employees have been furloughed so is not complaining. She said when we get back to normal her OH will have to work a 6 days week. He hasn’t wasted the time he hasn’t worked, lots of jobs ongoing on their house and fortunately he had the materials for most , so will not be running up bills!!!<br /><br />MICHELE, lovely photographs of Ainslie beach thank you for sharing.<br /><br />Take care everyone, hope you’re having a good day.<br />Stay safe, love Brenda XXXBrenda https://www.blogger.com/profile/14121800821999942200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-60128438065687234582020-04-15T10:35:47.794+01:002020-04-15T10:35:47.794+01:00How can you not get attached to your residents Son...How can you not get attached to your residents Sonia.

At least where Doreen is and the care home where Sophie works has proper protective clothing.

Plus the girls are going to get some pay from the Wildlife Park. That was the last trip we all took with Pete last year. Plus Craig had walked up to Badbury Clump and took photos of all the Bluebells that were out.

Now I might just try stamping a sentiment onto parchment. You can do it apparently but need to wait as it takes a time too dry. If it woks I think I need to get this stamp. I have stamps as you know but not nice versey ones. <br />Michele thank you so much for showing the shipwrecks on Ainsdale beach. I still would like to go up to Crosby to see the statues, we were going to come up over the last few years but Pete wasn’t well enough to go each time we decided to come up. Perhaps next year. <br />Take care and special hugs to all who need them.Pat S Witneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805104841993312589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-65838402168846422512020-04-15T09:49:52.565+01:002020-04-15T09:49:52.565+01:00Good morning everyone.

Here the shelves are still empty and to get what you order on line is pure luck. OH still waiting for his Branston pickle hihihi<br />Interesting photos Michele, to think how many years they have been stranded on your beach. Take care.<br />Sonia, You do get attached to people you work and looking after don't you, so sad. You take care.<br />Walk first and then I need to give the hoover some exercise. Looks like a gorgeous day so reading on the patio later on, must remember the sun cream tho red as I am 😎 <br />Have a good day everyone.

Sandra-your Card is just lovely, ...Morning Ladies <br /><br />Sandra-your Card is just lovely, perfect spring colours. Your shopping trip sounds great= no queues!<br /><br />The photos are of two different shipwrecks-the first is called Mussel Wreck. The second is Star of Hope which set sail from Liverpool in 1883 and was sailing to North Carolina. If you search fir Shipwrecks on Ainsdale beach there’s lots of very interesting articles online.<br /><br />Work was busy yesterday. We have 4 members of staff who have tested positive for Covid (all at home now). The colleague who was admitted last week was finally discharged yesterday-she was in hospital for a week. Scary stuff and we’re not expected to a) panic or stress b) wear face masks c) change how we work! Good old NHS puts on a great show to the public but not so great for the staff.<br /><br />Michele CraftyCoffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12776959710617654677noreply@blogger.com
