Morning @Pudding , hope you’re feeling a bit better today and that you managed to sort out tv and recliner.
Sending best wishes x
Morning. I got some sleep last night so feel better.
Don’t know what is wrong with TV sound bar so working off TV speaker until neighbour Bob has time to look at it.
One chair I have found out where the batteries are and how they are changed. Other can’t work out. It will probably be a Bob job again.
Hope you are ok.
Xx

Hi Sandra,
I hope Bob can have a look at things soon for you. I know when my power went off it took me days to reset TV, thermostat etc. Glad you managed to sleep better and sending you love and hugs. Xx
We’re all here if you need us x
It’s good you have a neighbour to help.
I’m better this morning thanks, had a real wobble yesterday with the new year thing and leaving husband behind.
I have been to the cemetery to check the plot after the gales and all is ok so feel calmer today . x

We have a very unusual community up here. One of my other neighbours would also have helped. New people moving in can’t quite believe it that we are like an extended family to each other.
Glad plot is undisturbed. It was a wild night.
Hope you get through the day. It is all most of us can hope for.

Thanks @Deb5 , don’t feel as bad today. Think it was all the hype of yesterday and feeling a bit lonely as all the friends and family that were going to “be there for me “ have been very absent during this festive season. Saying that, they’ve been pretty absent all round really.
It must have been hard losing him so close to Christmas last year

Yes, my husband was my best friend. Same interests, same sense of humour. I feel like I lost not only my husband but my best friend as well. It is hard to explain to people. I know I have to get out and do things but don’t have the energy or really want to. I am making an effort but my god it really is an effort. Xxx

Yep i agree everything is such an effort isnt it !! People don’t realise and actually how much do they bloody care ? Awful world we live in these days - im ashamed of it !! X
I have stopped watching the news. I just can’t cope with the misery. I know there are good people out there but all you ever hear about are the bad ones. It is hard to story and be positive with all of it going on. At least there are nice people on here. Stay strong. Xxx

Hi @Billie7, absolutely get the making an effort effort!
For me it’s like wading through treacle in a treacle storm with a rucksack stuffed with 100lbs of sadness on my back. But somehow, maybe we can make a tiny effort? That’s enough to make a start I think.
Ditto re the news.
