A big Robin has been running all over the mud today.
I know what she's looking for.

I'm not going to interfere with her, but I'm not gonna show her where those earthworms are, either.

I’m currently watching a Disney movie about swimming. It’s a true to life story about the first woman to successfully swim the English Channel. It was a fabulous movie.

I Ihink I met her when I was a kid. Was her name Gertrude Ederly or something like that? I lost her autograph,

What are those orange ping pong balls?
I'm not touching those till someone tells me.

Those are truffles rolled in cocoa. They’ll go well with the coffee.

Yep, that's what I was going to say as well. They do look a bit orangy. Orange goes well with chocolate, though so, maybe orange-coco truffles?

@Babs2u - That’s right. Her name was Gertrude and she went by the name Trudy.
Here are some photos . I highly recommend watching the movie- Young Woman and the Sea. It’s very entertaining. It’s produced by Disney so you know it’s good quality.

Her name was Gertrude and she went by the name Trudy.

That’s a really old-fashioned name. I never thought of that being the derivation of the two Trudys I knew.

She swam the English Channel in 14 hours 31 minutes in August 6th, 1926, so it IS an old fashioned name.

Good Afternoon, Kaila and Friends.

Wet and chilly today. Blessing of blessings, though, husband took Lucius for his first walk this morning and it couldn't have been on a better day. I stayed up too late last night and consequently, woke late this morning, a bit headachy and very agitated, which did not dissipate over the course of the rushed morning.

When I went upstairs, way behind schedule, anxious and out of sorts, to walk Lucius, husband had already walked him. I was so relieved I wanted to cry. Just perfect timing. Today was the day for that.

Because of husband's thoughtfulness I was pretty close to being on schedule again and got to go straight downstairs for exercises and continue the day.

I'm still tired and out of sorts, but at least my day isn't running behind.

I'm thinking of all you lovely people on Kaila's come-as-you-are thread and wishing you a peaceful Thursday.

Thank you, as always, and our other friends too, for sharing about your day.

Mine was very difficult, yesterday and today.
I'm so exhausted and drained, all week. I feel like I'll never recover, from the past couple of weeks and this one.

I'm trying to remember that it's a feeling, even though it's quite gripping.

I did see some wild birds at the window feeder, today, which I'm thankful for, as they do lift my spirits.

I love your positive attitude, Kaila. You're always looking for the bright spots and it's awesome.

 

[MarciKS]

it always feels like it's gonna be permanent. it's very discouraging. i try to rest during the discouraging stuff.

sorry i've been awol. been sleeping odd hours.

 

[CallMeKate]

Good morning, Kaila and Friends! I am so sorry to hear about those difficult days you've had, Kaila. You're right... it's a feeling and it will pass but my goodness sometimes it feels as if it won't (like @MarciKS said.) Hoping for some calming days for you coming up. I agree with @Medusa about your positive attitude. Very inspiring.

I'm ready to start an extremely busy Easter weekend, so I probably won't be around posting very much... or at least as much as usual. (Hey, who was that I heard clapping?!)

Good morning @Kaila and all. Just waiting on my four legged friend to arrive. Was up early as ever and managed to get a bit of washing done, dusted round etc. so that's me done for the day. As my shoulder isn't too bad at the moment, I am going to sit and do some cross stitch once I've been for a walk with Rocco.

I can only echo what others have already said about your positive attitude. Hope the coming days won't be as difficult for you.

Well, his lordship has arrived so I'd best be off.

Have a good Easter everyone. xx
