Thanks Liv, I'm grateful for what I do have and trying not to focus on the 'not haves', while always aware of how lucky I am on so many levels💜🫂

Thanks Wendy, was already under many pressures and stress so was pretty awful to experience IRL and online. I hope Karma comes for them, if not, I just hope I never encounter them again nor yourself or any other good egg here💜🌷

Thanks Wendy, much appreciated 💜🌷

Alison! Thanks for sharing, lovely of you👊

I get to know people on line, often not knowing their gender, age, race, religion etc, love to lear more but can also find it freeing. I can't apply any subconscious bias, I just treat people as they treat me, & with you, always kind, humorous and smart 💜😎

Thanks AYC, I actually had some new neighbours (a couple ~30yrs) drop in on Friday night with a bunch of flowers to welcome me and stay for ~hour for a chat, very good signs so far.
No more unpacking yet due to illness shines, but that'll improve with time.
Appreciate all your kind words💜🌷🫂

Thanks for your kind wishes for me and so sorry for your move last month not working out so well so far. Sending gentle hugs and empathy💜🫂🌷

😁😎

Thanks, left neighbours notes under doors before moving day, let them know/apologise that drive might be blocked for a couple of hours on move day by Removalist truck, give my name, grab me any issues etc.

They thought that was lovely & wanted to welcome me.
Happy tears too...🥹xx

Excellent plan and strategy Jo, love it, 👊😎💜

Thanks HB💜🌷

Oooh that means 'this week' (I'm a little behind in replies). Call you tonight to see if we can catch up 💜👊

Big kisses and gentle hugs back Renae, I hate that many here 'know' chronic illness/es all to well, but I do love that many can relate, empathise & understand.
(i.e. not give unhelpful, unsolicited, unwanted, ignorant advice🙄).
Chronic illness does suck with a capital 'S' 💜🫂🌷

👊🫂💜🌷

Thanks Peta, have those 3 and rest are definitely for future Bridie, resting and recovering is going well 💜🫂🌷

Thanks Lizzy, coffee machine, coffee pods, milk and the dogs food all came in car with me as priority! 😎 Most of the unpacking is for future Bridie, will get there eventually 💜

Thanks Liv, I don't 'love' that many of my pocket family here have chronic illness/es, but I do 'love' that because of it, many of you understand.
Sending love and low pain/symptomatic days your way 💜🌷

Favourite 'Dad Joke', still makes me smile whenever I think of it, said by my Brother-In-Law ~20 yrs ago (Dad of 3),
Me: What you been up to?
BIL: Just been to Sydily
Me: Don't you mean Sydney?
BIL: That's what I said Didily?

I found them late last night 🥳🤸‍♀️ ... slightly less blurry love sent back 💜🤣

A sunrise for you to ponder and unwind

Thanks CT, fantastic pictures appreciate you sharing them, very serene and calming 💜🌷

💜🌷This is one of the new birds there's many of, Purple Swamphens, gorgeous colours and their strut is fantastic too.

Excellent, I found boxes during this move, that I hadn't unpacked since last move.... decade ago 😂
I'm feeling a bit better so just a couple each day and I'll get there, no hurry.

💜🫂

Thanks Mike, yes coffee machine & ingredients plus dog food were priority, the rest can wait 💜😎

More a series of ponds that rise and fall with the rain, but always some water in them, which means there's many waterbirds that I'm enjoying identifying like lost of these lovely Purple Swamphens strutting about💜

Yes, many birds around and due to the small ponds, lots of water birds like the Purple Swamphen and many others I'm still identifying💜

Suckrificing my arse off 🫠😂

Those lazy drongos refuse to unpack a single thing, some malarky about not having opposable thumbs and not being able to reach... excuses, excuses 🙄😂

💜

Yes, I wish we could explain too, good to hear no dramas your end, take care 💜
