Now where did that day go We had a leisurely breakfast as usual and went for a stroll, not too far as I am still well below par. It was dry and cold and it was nice to be out. I thought I might go to Miss Osc's to wash the car, but Mr Osc put his foot down saying it was too cold and I wasn't well......nice to know he cares I had applied for his ESTA form yesterday (wanted to get it done before Trump really got on the job ), it was authorised by today, so we went through dates etc. and have now booked flights and Washington accommodation - we will stay with a friend in Boston - for our trip in October Booked an apartment for six nights in Washington which looks nice, has good reviews and is in a convenient location. Looking forward to it already!

Chicken lasagne for dinner, don't think there is much on the telly this evening but I am sure we will find something.

Oooh exciting Osc! Sorry you are still below par though

[JoM]

Hope you're feeling better soon Osc. How exciting though! We were only saying earlier that we want to get back to Washington, really love it there!

[JoM]

Saundra, glad you've got your men in lycra back! Do you get that Bike channel?

We've been getting a stick that John has erm...done something with to stream tv shows - waiting till we know it is working ok before cancelling Sky, but think I might have to improve BB speeds first...

Sorry I haven't been posting much. Not a very happy time atm for me....almost 6 weeks without Smudge and yes I know I should be getting over him a little by now, but frankly I'm not. It's starting to affect my relationship as well...oh Tom's lovely most of the time, he even suggested going looking on a grass verge in the dark last night after a tip off (we didn't find a cat at all, it was a wild goose chase really) but I think he is reaching the end of his tether with me. #mustmakemoreeffort

Yesterday I just couldn't get warm! I went to bed for a spell after work, dressed in a long sleeved jumper, leggings, socks and a fleecy waistcoat - I STILL needed a hot water bottle before I started to feel a bit warmer!

I met an old friend for coffee yesterday - we went to Seaham and I felt really awful for her, she's had a life and a half (well, compared to me LOL) and sadly she's fallen back to earth with a massive bump - back in her mum's house in her old bedroom, caring for her poorly mum - very sobering. Oooo I am a little ray of sunshine atm aren't I??

On a lighter note, I am getting to grips with these new varifocals

Hope you are all ok xxxxx

[Kaz]

Just a massive (((((((((hug)))))))))) from me. It won't hurt T to be patient, you are grieving Smudge, in a way xxxxxx

[Gal]

TY hun - I think T is worried I am not putting it to rest....he doesn't think Smudge will come home and he sees me reading some FB posts where a cat has returned after many weeks or even months and he's worried I am getting my hopes up.

This 'limbo' of not knowing is just terrible. If he has died, I'd just rather know for certain than be left hoping.....

[Kaz]

I know
