Thank you, Linda, for spotting the chaffie , bull and raccoon.  :)

3.  Did you see the bit in the forums where fairies were complaining they had done every vase up to now but couldn't continue as they hadn't completed their poles so would miss out on the reward? So Mike has now decided that everyone, if they wish, can miss out one set of bouquets throughout the challenge & still get the reward. I wish he'd announce these things in the "news" section because I don't go to the forums very often and I'm sure there are plenty others who don't either. In fact I think any new challenge should have a full explanation of what it consists of so that fairies can decide if they want to do it or not, instead of "surprising" us every few months with a new gold release. If there are to be gold candies I will not be doing them. I threw out the notebook I had with all the shapes, colours etc recently. I love the Ibex pot so i may attempt 2 of them as I have another of the required pots (which I never use) in storage. I agree, the long weekend of free SF was great. I don't know why he doesn't do that more often as it must encourage more fairies to play. More & more seem to be using regular food all the time. If I have a new visitor and it is regular food in their

2. I have frozen my garden early, we are not away until next Saturday, but I do have a lot on this week. We are booked for Loch Coruisk again tomorrow, wind dependant of course. We have Thomas Tuesday & Wednesday. I have an appt at 12 noon on Wednesday to get my feet/nails done. It must be a sign of getting older when I'm getting my nails cut & shaped and hard skin removed rather than a pedicure with coloured nails 🤣 I'm struggling to reach the nails on my right foot now. I have a pelvic x-ray (for my hip) on 12th May. Then I have to make an appointment with the physio at my GP surgery. Apologies if I told you that already. Colin has an appt in town for his sore neck at 2pm on Wednesday & then I have aqua aerobics at 6pm. It's party night at dancing 7-10pm on Thursday for 3 milestone birthdays so I've ordered a custom-made cake for that & have to pick it up on Thursday afternoon. Plus get some nibbles, and also flowers for the 3 birthday girls. We will be dancing all their requests that night. I will need to get everything organised for going away as well. I will probably have to pack for all weathers so shorts in case it's nice but also waterproofs and hiking boots. I'll leave tha

Hi Linda, I had a lovely spa day thankyou. The young therapist was so good at massage I wished I'd booked a longer one. Margaret, the reason we were there as we had given her a voucher for her birthday, sad it was amazing - it was her first spa day & she had a body scrub, a mud envelopment, a hot stone massage, a facial & gel manicure. Yvonne & I just had a facial & back, neck & shoulder massage. Afternoon tea was nice too & it was a treat for me as I haven't had any scones, cakes etc for about 4 months. Thomas was out of sorts on Tuesday, very unlike him, he had a constant runny snotty nose & a persistent cough. I developed a sore throat on Thursday night & hardly slept a wink. On Friday I felt miserable, full of the cold, couldn't stop coughing but I did have a better night then last 2 nights & I do feel better today. My ribs were sore due to the coughing but that's resolved now too. I did a Covid test but it was negative. Do you have Alexa? If so maybe you could set a daily reminder to do your eye drops. She reminds me to book aqua aerobics on Tuesday & Thursday nights. I'm not sure about pressing at the corner of your eye/nose after administering the drops but your theory sound

Thanks for spotting our first baby girrafe

Thank you!

       ╰Hεℓℓσ ♥  Life is so short.
We spend so much time sweating the small stuff; Worrying, complaining, wishing, and waiting for something bigger and better instead of focusing on all the simple blessings that surround us everyday. life is so fragile and all it takes is a simple moment to change everything we take for granted. Focus on what's important and be
       grateful for what you do have.
        You are blessed, believe it!
