Hi all, I hope you've had a decent week and feel ready to share blessings, gratitudes and good news or happy times. The aim as usual is to try to focus on the positives in life.

I'll kick things off then... Two medical/ health related things firstly. My mum was actually taken quite poorly yesterday and the upshot is that she is now on a cardiac ward undergoing tests in hospital. I'm so grateful that it wasn't a heart attack and the wonderful staff are trying every possibility to see what the problem is and why the irregular beats, shortness of breath etc are happening. Your positive thoughts would be appreciated.

The second health thing is my son's conjunctivitis is clearing nicely and he's very perky now and back on his computer games shooting up a storm!

Thirdly, I had a nice catch up with some friends over a glass of wine on Friday night (before mum was taken poorly) It was great to chill and chat.

Finally, I found some fabulous cognac booties at last (I mentioned them on the forum). It took a while to seek out the right pair, but I've been firmly on team wear the last few days

Over to you now. Feel free to add photos and links as usual.
