Today the sun is shining. It is warm and there`s something in the air.........other than covid and BLM demos
I just have a feeling...after weeks of gloom...that we could be seeing the start of change.
I have painted my nails, for the first time since March.
I am looking forward to going out tomorrow....the 3rd time in 11 weeks....to see my sister, who will be 73 tomorrow....not seen her since mid March.


Is it me or is there something good about to happen? Or better than we`ve had?

    The pessimist in me says.
    ?hope it's not the calm before the storm.?

    ?enjoy it your visit.
    We need some positive Energy. ?
    In the movie with pollyanna. She said " if you looking at all the bad in the world, that's all gonna see."

    We could have done with some of those old movies, like Pollyana  candleshoe,..... or maybe I just old school.?

    I hope you're right @pollyanna1052! Yesterday was my most productive day since months ago, found out my blood test results this morning which are all good. Definitely feeling more positive than I have in ages. Hope you have a lovely time tomorrow and happy birthday to your sister! :)

    Thankyou Ami.

    It`s good to know your test results came back on the right side.

    Positivity is good. That`s a feeling I have today.

    Hi @pollyanna1052 Glad to hear you are feeling things are getting better , me too. 

    This was the first weekend me and my boyfriend could actually spend some proper time together rather than him just bringing me shopping or talking in the garden, we even went out only food shopping 

    Lets hope we can slowly get back to normal with everyone keeping safe

    Thanks everyone for your comments.
    I did so enjoy seeing my sis and yes...I gave her a proper hug...she looked sceptical, but I had a mask on.

    No birthday cake though...humph!

    I took presents but not cake!

    I think you are right @pollyanna1052. Although I live in Wales and thing haven't moved as fast as England with easing the lockdown things definatley feel like they are heading in the right direction
