Seasonally Unpredictable.........

 
Good Friday was so cold sitting outside with Son and Fiancé, but look at this Sunday sunshine 🌞  So lovely sharing tea and cake with Daughter, M, R and O. Lots of Easter egg swapping too. 

 Monday it snowed! Thankfully not much and we still managed a bitterly cold coffee morning, starting a little late as we were all watching to see who was brave enough to come out first. 

There have been some email conversations with cousins and second cousins about staying in touch. Last year we had a zoom meet up which was UK cousins and those in Australia, we also wanted to include the US but couldn't manage a suitable time for everyone. More recently another family member who hadn't been involved then has now got in touch and suggested a private Facebook group so we can easily share photos etc. It was suggested to help everyone with how we fit together that we have a family tree, so I sent a photo of the one I did years ago. Unfortunately the software I used then is now obsolete so I've just got a printout that I scribble on. So the problems to solve is how do we get the couple of cousins that are terrified of tech and not on Facebook to join in, what software to use for a family tree and who is going to create it (I'm keeping my head down).

Busy day on Thursday and we are so out of practice for busy days. 8am and Hubby heads out for our click and collect shopping and then we both did the whole sanitising ritual before putting everything away. Then relax with breakfast and toasted fresh crumpets. Late morning we were out getting our second jabs, both done together this time. Only out the house about an hour but we were both ready for our lunch and the fresh tiger French stick (love shopping day). After lunch Hubby went outside again to carry on fence and shed painting and I had a few jobs to do. Thursday evening is always family quiz night. Hahaha we'll sleep well tonight, provided we don't roll onto the jabbed arms.

Friday we both reported nothing worse than sore achy arms that's jab related. Poor Hubby has had toothache for a while and when the filling fell out he made an appointment for next Wednesday, but yesterday half the tooth broke away so he remade an urgent appointment for 11am today. Unfortunately the tooth can't be saved so today it was Xrayed, cleaned and smoothed and covered in anti-germ stuff. In next Wednesday's appointment they will discuss and move forwards with either a denture or inplant.

And it's Saturday yet again. They forecast it is getting warmer by the middle of next week so hopefully a few more garden gatherings can be arranged. 
Meanwhile stay warm and stay safe.
