My Mum decided to get it paid into her bank account instead and after she did that the person behind the counter at the PO advised that the letter was misleading, she needn't have closed her PO account and that the money could STILL have been paid into it. That is definitely NOT what the letter said! She can access her bank account via the PO, but what a waste of time and effort and what a worry for her at the time!

It's great that I know there's no chance of anyone knocking my door or calling unexpectedly. I'm careful when I go out but some fresh air each day has to be good, doesn't it?

I always plan a small quilt project that can be completes in the week. A kit is nice or a pattern I've already collected fabrics for. I know you aren't a quilter, but a small art or craft project, something new to learn and complete, can give a person something to get up for on those cold darkest days.<br /><br />lizzy xLizzy Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13925662100321427762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-23625941528898294602020-10-24T19:43:11.226+01:002020-10-24T19:43:11.226+01:00Your gladioli is beautiful, I love the color.

Something nice to eat one day, a nice bottle or three of wine, a bar of chocolate, a lovely DVD to watch, see I'm almost there already :-)<br /><br />I don't usually like peachy coloured things but that Gladioli is beautiful.<br /><br />So very sorry to hear about Pat. She's been so sensible and careful with herself too. I do hope she gets better soon and is safe in hospital. After Mum's fall they rushed her out after just one day saying she was safer at home alone even with broken ribs.Sue https://www.blogger.com/profile/04947919568474743963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-92115045844295190812020-10-24T17:04:47.467+01:002020-10-24T17:04:47.467+01:00Yes Joy and blocking areas off.

In the US it starts with Thanksgiving which falls on November 26th this year. I imagine I'll do more hiking as being in the outdoors is calming and healing. I like the idea of Christmas treats.
