Good Morning Early Birds

[emmie]

morning, hopefully you are all well and in good spirits, i can't sleep any longer and so here we are - anyone have plans for the day, or just go with the flow. I had a nice day out with friends yesterday, so it might be a quiet one today. The weather has been very nice and warm which is lovely at this time of year.

[emmie]

looks like the birdies are still asleep, can't say that i blame you, wish i could do the same sometimes, but some chores to do later on and then the day is mine so to speak.

Not a lot of early birds today Emmie.
Keeping well?
I decided to have a lazy day today. After a foggy start, the weather not me, a perfect spring day.
Sun shining, birds chirping, what's not to like.

morning 1ozzy

[emmie]

sounds great, i love spring time when the flowers are blooming and everything seems fresh and new.

[emmie]

i have been having bad trouble with my left knee, it hurts much of the time, it goes off for a little bit if i rest up. but i can't do that much as things to do. I don't use painkillers as they don't work for me. i have tried but they don't get to the point of the pain, its a blessed nuisance.

[1ozzy]

Me too, although my sinuses complain about all the pollen in the air.
No need to let a minor complaint ruin a beautiful season.

Sign of age?

Ooh, my bad ;-)

[emmie]

no indeed, we are getting into the autumn now, though its still surprising warm, which is lovely. i am still donning t shirt and shorts, but that may come to an end in the next few weeks once we hit october.

[emmie]

yes its a sign of ageing, can't be helped, just have to get on with things.

[1ozzy]

Get the thermal clothing ready, shake the moths out of it.
I'll be searching out my shorts and thongs soon.
The thongs you wear on your feet!!!!

[emmie]

did i say i heard from my friends in Oz, they are both ok, though bev hasn't seen her mum for 18 months which isn't good.

[emmie]

i knew what you meant, lol

[1ozzy]

That's good to hear, shame about the lack of visits though.

[emmie]

Bev said she doesn't go out, to stop from catching covid and passing it on. Horrible situation to be in. at least i went out during lockdown, even if was only to meet a mate for coffee. Bev hasn't been over to WA
for that time and though they speak on the phone 2-3 times a day, it's not the same thing -

[1ozzy]

Bevs mum lives 3554 kilometres away from her, approximately 2028 miles.
It would take at least 38 hours of non stop driving at high speed to get there.
Or, a few different flights.

[emmie]

yes i know, she used to go twice a year, once at Christmas to see her mum, and once during the summer break i believe. now she tends her garden apparently and not much else.

[1ozzy]

Fingers crossed, when things calm down she will be able to visit again.
It's a good time of the year to be gardening down here.
Things are starting to grow and blossom.

[1ozzy]

Including weeds :-(

[emmie]

Bev still works, though retired, can't say too much as she doesn't do social media.

[emmie]

ah the weeds, yes i know what you mean, my brother has a beautiful garden and they tend it all year round or so it would seem. i sometimes wished i had a garden but i feel i wouldn't be able to sustain it. Nor would i be particularly good with plants as i don't have the knack of keeping them healthy.
