Hi @Shaz51  - I'm glad you like my cuddling plants - it's amazing that I walk past these every day and never noticed how affectionate they were becoming until recently and now I have to go outside and check them everyday.

Hi @outlander 

I did get really unhappy and really tired about the COVID situation and the lock-downs and the incondsiderate people making the situation worse - I got over it though. I think it's really important to be in touch with our feelings - we can think about things and put them aside - or at least I try my best. Like a lot of things and for an awful lot of people things are wearing thin.

I took several weeks out from the forum recently - I am still catching up with a lot of people - so I am unsure how things are going with you - your family - and esp your Pop. It's very hard to have to care for someone with dementia. I understand that

One of my SW mother is developing dementia and I am getting a different idea - my SW does work with some people with dementia but with her mother it's so much harder - this little insight is expanding my mind and I really care - when she is telling me about it I think of you and being Pop's carer when you are so young

Sending my best thoughts
