We have had a very sluggish start to the new week. My motivation has completely flown out of the window 😟 but a couple of sleepless nights this week haven't helped either. I'm still worried about my sister and brother-in-law ( who is very poorly) but, at least, our son is on the mend, thank God. Small steps.....
Gray decided that he should treat us to a cooked lunch at our favourite pub today. There wasn't another soul in there when we arrived, so it was quite restful. Gray ordered home cooked faggots, chips and mushy peas, and I chose brocolli and cauliflower bake with salad. The meals were delicious as well as piping hot and came to £26 with a drink each. Not too bad for a special treat.

Before we went to the pub, I had a few errands to run in the village so took another batch of cards to the Hospice shop. Wow! Just 4 were left in the basket again 👍Today's batch makes 175 to date.
A sample below:
For men:
These three were again made from the free Hunkydory member's club gift:
The 'gift envelope' cards sell really quickly, apparently. I ensure that the envelope on the front (which I fold myself) is capable of holding a folded banknote or a gift card; a card and gift in one!
I must make a few more of those as well as men's cards like these below, as they sell well too....
I took a large bag of allotment produce across to our lovely neighbours as soon as we got back. There were new potatoes, runner beans, tomatoes, a cucumber and a bag of cooking apples. We are starting to get a lot of windfalls again so I'm removing the ones which come away easily to save them from hitting the ground and spoiling. I made a delicious blueberry and apple crumble with some on Sunday 😊

I think I told you about our 17 yr old Grandson and his awful employer, didn't I, well...yesterday he had a tiny piece of metal fly into his eye when he was grinding something off. He thought he'd removed it but, as luck would have it, he had an optician's appointment after work and she spotted the metal embedded in his cornea 😨
This morning his mum took him to the local eye hospital where they scraped it out (it wouldn't wash out) and he's now on antibiotic drops. I'm squeamish about eyes anyway but it sent shivers down my spine to think what could have happened.....
That's all the news for now. Thanks so much for popping in. Do stay safe wherever you happen to be,
Angie 💗
