But I have bad nights sometimes, and last night was one of them, I was in the sitting room with News 24 on (Hardtalk 4.30 am) and reading and having a cup of tea before I returned to bed and managed to sleep until gone 8 am. I'm better in the summer and wake early with the morning light, I detest the long winter nights. <br />I'm glad you and Beth at good friends ... you say "nowadays" as if this hasn't always been the case, but so glad you are now. As your parents are still alive, this means that this young man is their great grandson, doesn't it? <br />Margaret P galanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190356279359463949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-9668360178504600342018-04-03T21:12:20.338+01:002018-04-03T21:12:20.338+01:00Hi, Margaret!

Navy is so versatile. <br />Yes, I'm an early riser although later than i used to be. I'm usually down by 5:30 nowadays rather than 4:00!<br />Beth is my daughter. We are very good friends nowadays and share a lot. Alex(ander) is my only grandson. Adult now and at uni reading maths. I'm extremely proud of his achievements as he has autism and was at a special school until he was 14<br />I know what you mean about getting the washing out. It's a wonderful feeling.<br />J xJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116524003944939298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-62743347239193009202018-04-03T16:12:58.626+01:002018-04-03T16:12:58.626+01:00That's a lovely smart, navy jacket, Joy.

I'm still either asleep or mooching around in my dressing gown with the first cup of coffee of the day at 7 am! But it's lovely to be up early, isn't it, especially on a fine, sunny morning. <br />Although you are retired, you do seem to do a lot of teaching work and helping in school, which is great. Your experience is not being wasted. <br />Who is Beth? I've only come to your blog in the last month or so, so don't know some 'characters'. <br />Margaret P<br />www.margaretpowling.com <br />PS Managed to hang washing on the line to dry - wonderful! How small things such as this please us out of all proportion! galanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190356279359463949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-72638511400561360162018-04-03T15:21:35.839+01:002018-04-03T15:21:35.839+01:00It's frustrating, isn't it, Sharon.

It was a Bagpuss design and I'm not sure I got all the pinks and yellows right but it didn't turn out too bad lol. <br /><br />Hopefully it will stop raining. It sounds like it's going to be a pretty lousy week here too this week. <br />Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03039174572211086359noreply@blogger.com
