It is a beautiful day. I have just wandered into the garden for some fresh air. I saw a young hare, a pheasant, a robin and a wren within 5 minutes. There was also a pair of squirrels stashing conkers in my lawn, but I don’t like to talk about those pesky little critters.
The autumn crocuses are out in full bloom and they have quadrupled since last year.
There are still things to gladden our hearts if we look hard enough. Of course I wish Jeremy was still here to share them with. But I hope he is still around somewhere. He might have sent them for me, who knows. He wouldn’t have sent the squirrels, he knows they get right up my nose when they dig holes in the lawn.

I wish I had my Maisie here to take for a walk sadly she’s now gone,although her idea of a walk was from her comfy bed to her food dish.

Hi Liz.
Sorry your having a dip they can be so painful.

Thankyou Ron
I am feeling better this afternoon.
Apart from the headache I’ve given myself from the crying. 
I’ve had these dips before. And everytime I get up and think I’m going to be ok.
Then wham back down the rollercoaster.
But I do seem to stay up longer between dips so maybe, just maybe I’m going to stay up longer this time 
Love and hugs

Sorry you’re having a bad day Liz. This roller coaster ride leaves a lot to be desired. We should all it Hidden Dips,
Because they come when you least expect them.

Thankyou everyone for cheering me up.
We can always rely on each other to pick us up.
I hope I don’t have another dip like this for a long time.
Never would be perfect but I’m not stupid enough to think that that will happen
Thanks everyone
Love and big hugs

Oh dear, ladies. It doesn’t take much to make him have a hissy fit and spit his dummy out, does it? 
He’s just miffed because I mentioned hummus before he did!
No more hidden dips, Liz. At least not for a long while.

I am going off topic here. Do they sell hummus up there?
The last time I was in Deepest Darkest Yorkshire I asked where I could buy some olives. The lady said that she thought they sold olive oil in the chemist for earache.
I am allowed to say these things because I come from Yorkshire originally.
I also saw a Pina Colada with tinned pineapple, squirty cream and a glace cherry on the top.
My family won’t let me in next time I visit…….They already call me a softie southerner.

Stop me if you’ve heard it,an American walks into St Paul’s sees a golden phone asks what it is priest says a phone directly to god it’s £50,000 a call.
He does the same in All the counties down south with the same response.
He walks into York minster sees the golden phone priest says it’s 50p American says why,priest says it’s a local call.

Well, they do say that Yorkshire is God’s own country, and it is a beautiful country which I miss sorely.
On the other hand, there’s nowt so careful with brass as a Yorkshire man. Maybe they knew that in York Minster, hence the reduced cost.
My mum could cut raisins in half!
