Good News, Not so Good & Brilliant News!

The good news is that I dropped another batch of cards off at the Hospice shop, bringing the total to a satisfying 200 since the end of March this year.  There were just 4 left in the basket again.  As long as they keep selling, I'll keep on making them 😊

Not so good news?  Son-in-Law has Covid again.  This is the third time πŸ˜•

Unfortunately, they are due to go on holiday in about a week's time and, if he passes it on to the family, then the holiday is in question.  Meanwhile he is being isolated in the bedroom and working from home.  We dare not visit.  It's a nasty strain with a razor-sore throat and cough.

The brilliant news is that our Grandson has a new job!  He's been looking for a while and finally found one that he really liked the sound of.  The employer was much nicer and gave him a test weld to do.  They were really pleased with the quality of his work and have actually waited for him to finish his year's apprenticeship with the other company.  He now has a proper contract and, on his first day, was given a full-face mask to wear when grinding, and proper PPE.  Fingers crossed that he'll be safer there 🀞They will also be paying him more money.

We are beyond relieved 😌

Thanks so much for popping in.  Stay safe wherever you happen to be,

  1. Snap…my daughter and family had Covid, last week and are due to go on holiday in a week’s time. My daughter was really ill…same with my son in law. My granddaughter, not quite as bad. And as you say, it’s a nasty strain! You feel so helpless when you can’t visit, don’t you?
    Good news about your grandson!
    Enjoy the week! 😁 ( Sal’s Snippets blog)

  2. Two hundred cards is a brilliant achievement, well done.

    Sorry to hear about your son, it does seem that Covid strikes over and over again in those that it has already weakened. :-(

    And great news about your grandson, this company sounds so much better in every way. I hope it works out really well for him. It's always nice to start the day with good news, so thank you. xx
