You are so right! I usually wake up feeling gloomy but the first thing I do is walk the dog and I always feel better for it!That's a good start.
I don't want to preach to you but daylight, fresh air and regular exercise all help, plus a good belly laugh at ridiculous influencers of course!
I will be checking in with you too. Make sure you keep trying for a face to face appt... everything is getting a bit easier now.
I have been thinking about you @Geranium and sending you lots and lots of positive vibes.You are so right! I usually wake up feeling gloomy but the first thing I do is walk the dog and I always feel better for it!
Hi dear friends, I’m ok, just awaiting some screening results which is always an anxiety inducing process. I’ve got back into my regular volunteering roles this week and have spent lots of time outdoors which is helping and am shortly off to do some poo picking in a muddy field with some elderly ponies.Please check in @Geranium and let us know how you are coping
That sounds great, apart from the poo picking!Hi dear friends, I’m ok, just awaiting some screening results which is always an anxiety inducing process.

I’m still not exactly myself but I’m better than I was a few days ago, thank you so much for checking in on me xx Means so much

Dear @Geranium, I’m only picking up this thread now so I was unaware of how you have been suffering. I really hope you are feeling a bit better. I haven’t been here since November, I think, as I thought the thread had stalled, and had no idea. I hope that you are getting medical support from your GP as well as lots of appreciation from your volunteering colleagues and your friends here and your family too. So glad your daughter’s cat returned though.Hi dear friends, I’m ok, just awaiting some screening results which is always an anxiety inducing process.

Also, really hard to hear about @Namima and all your losses. What a desperately upsetting time. Sending lots of love and warmest wishes to both of you, your friend, MK
@Geranium I had an idea I thought might suit us - how about once a month we pick the following:Thank you lovely friend.
I’m feeling better, keeping busy, lots of fresh air and physical activity with dogs and horses!
The longer days and support of friends is helping lots too.
Xxx
I’m in! I’m kind of too bored with dear Lydia, Josie, Frow et al, I just hang around for the company of you guys these days to be honest! Xx@Geranium I had an idea I thought might suit us - how about once a month we pick the following:
What we read (could be a sentence, a book, a poster, a headline, a tweet) - I know you like your books.
What we wore (or would like to, or inspired by, or want but will never buy)
What we.. I dunno? ... donated, cooked, thrifted, loved?
I would love this kind of convo on the other thread too but lets give it a try here - maybe a silly idea, but are any of you interested?
Exactly!! I feel the same - can I just say I have been so enjoying british dramas from the past of late - makes me think how reality tv destroyed so many screenwriter’s careers - anyway, you have to watch Love for Lydia (you tube Daisy Mason channel I think - come back to me if I’m wrong) and Berkeley Square (you tube again - I’ll give you the channel name tomorrow) - just wonderful! XxI’m in! I’m kind of too bored with dear Lydia, Josie, Frow et al, I just hang around for the company of you guys these days to be honest! Xx
Oh, it’s wonderful! There’s a moment at the end when Lydia says ‘we were just growing up’ and it brought tears to my eyes because sometimes we remember when we hurt people or were hurt and this simple line is so true, isn’t it? Berkeley Square is addictive too - this time aired in 1998 - so the sound and imagery an improvement on L for L.I remember watching Love for Lydia first time around, how old am I! I’d love to watch it again.
I am just skim reading the Lydia thread these days, stopping only at wonderful posts of handbags that aren’t Hermes or of moving wedding photos !
@Oops... i have an Aspinal bag in my shopping cart at the moment, just trying to get the courage to press buy! Xx
Ahem - I couldn’t help noticing that you’ve not mentioned a tiara anywhere in your post, @Oops...!Yes, the rest of us normal folk just flounce around in wedding dresses every day. We wear them until the hems get dirty or we drag the cuffs through our soup. When that happens, we delicately tippy-toe our Chooshoes to Penny Farthing (our go-to couturier famously providing Frocks for Flouncers) and order ourselves another few bespoke wedding frocks. I don‘t know about everyone else, but I actually do hand wash all my veils. I have seven of them and am taking dancing lessons as we speak…
