TERRORIST ATTACK IN LONDON

Good Morning to you,

My blog is not a political blog, it is a place where I share with you, the things I love in my everyday life.

.... but I cannot let yesterday's horror pass by without comment.

The day started well. I decided, in the afternoon, to catch up with some ironing, a job which I don't really enjoy, so to pass the time, I often watch a film.

I switched on the television and as George had been watching the news channel, in the morning, the television went straight to the BBC News.... and I could not believe what I saw, unravelling before my very eyes.

There had been a terrorist attack in the heart of London. 

It was reported that a terrorist had driven his car, into a group of people, who were walking across Westminster Bridge. They did not stand a chance. These everyday people, were going about their daily business, some going to work and others, enjoying the sights of London. 

As the scene unfolded, it appears, the terrorist, then abandoned his crashed car and  walked to the Palace of Westminster, where he tried to gain entrance.  I don't know if he had a knife in his hand at the time or if he took the knife out of his jacket, as the information is sketchy as I write this, but the terrorist, attacked an unarmed policeman, who I heard this morning had sadly died.

Eventually the terrorist was stopped, by armed policemen, from within the Palace of Westminster.

Four people died, including the terrorist.  40 people were in hospital, some in a critical condition.

.... and this makes me feel so sad. 

I am so sad for the people who lost their lives and for the families who will never see their loved ones again. 

I am so sad for the people who are critically ill, whose lives have changed forever. 

I am so sad for the people who witnessed this terrible scene, as it is something that will live with them, probably for the rest of their lives.

I am so sad for the party of school children from France, who, whilst on a school holiday, having fun,  witnessed this dreadful scene. I have been thinking about them all day.

.... and as the days roll by, I feel sure we will learn more and more about what happened yesterday.

But for today, can we place our hands on our hearts and send our collective love and sympathy, to everyone, who was caught up in this terrible attack.

Let them feel the strength of our love.

As Always,

With Warmest Wishes
to you.

OH DEAR ME ~ I AM POORLY TODAY

Good Morning to you,

Phyllis asked me last week, if I had received my flu injection this year.  I replied, I didn't think I  needed one, as I have been as fit as a fiddle.

.... but can you believe it, the following day, I became poorly. 

It started on Monday evening, when my throat felt a little sore, then it progressed to a heavy cold. I cannot stop coughing and sneezing. It certainly isn't the flu, but my word I feel poorly.

I am taking medication, so hopefully by the weekend, I will be back to my normal self.

So I am sorry to say,

my kitchen is closed for the moment.

I am hoping to catch up with you again on Sunday.

Until then, take care.

As Always,

MY KITCHEN IS CLOSED

Good Morning to you,

I just wanted to pop by, to let you know, we are busy decorating at the moment,

which means my kitchen will be closed for the next month or so. 

Have a wonderful few weeks and I will catch up with you, when the paint on the walls is dry and everything is returned to its rightful place.

As Always,

MY KITCHEN IS CLOSED FOR A SECOND WEEK

Good Morning to you,

I felt so smug.... 

I was eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.

I was taking my multi vitamin tablet.

I was taking plenty of fresh air.

I felt well.

I was so pleased that I had managed to resist the 'bug' which had made George so poorly.

Then, as George recovered, I became ill.  I have to say not as bad as George, but I have no energy, I am very tired and I just want to sleep.

So I'm sad to say, instead of things being back to normal, as I had hoped, it is my turn to be unwell.

So, I'm sorry to say, my kitchen is closed for a second week.

Once I am back on my feet again, I will be more than ready to return to my kitchen.

Until then, keep well and take good care of yourself.

As always,

THE KITCHEN IS CLOSED

Good Morning to you,

Oops..... apologies. 

My kitchen is closed this week. I know you will understand, when I tell you my lovely daughter, Natasha, is visiting. 

So take care and I will catch up with you next Thursday.
