Hey everyone, not even going to attempt to tag because there's been so much chat since this morning, I can't keep up. But I have been reading and 'supporting' posts as I saw them on my mobile, while I was out and about throughout the day. Just didn't have a chance to respond to any. Seems like there's been some good news and chat going on all around.
My day started with a plan to have a shower in the morning, walk to the local shops and go to craft group. But instead I went back to bed. But then woke up an hour later and realised I could still make it to craft group if I just had a thorough wash and jumped on a bus instead of walking. So did that, and the group was enjoyable. I also now have a knitting project, with wool and needles supplied. I've got it at home with me to do when I'm not at the centre. I like knitting a lot but find it pretty expensive in the materials, so I'm glad to have this new project, that's for a mental health art day coming up in October.
Then walked around to my favourite bakery and had some lunch. Then I bussed it to a larger shopping centre about 15 minutes away and met my friend there. She had some shopping to do and she then drove us back to her place. Afternoon coffee and chat there and then I caught the last bus home, about half an hour ride. I was sitting up the front and the driver started chatting with me. That doesn't usually happen to me, and I often keep to myself on the buses, but it was really pleasant. We talked about the birdlife around and his haircut, lol. Very friendly farewell at the end.
Dinner's arriving now, so I'll leave this long rave here. But I'll just add one more thing before I go: an example of some bird life seen at my friend's place today. These birds are rare sightings around here, and I've only ever seen them when my friend is around. They are called 'pale-headed rosellas'. It made us both happy to see them today. Hope you like them too...

@Exoplanet thank you for the loves and hugs. They are much appreciated right now. No I havent been doing a lot of resting. Someone always needs something 😞 but yes ive reduced the workload lots. Yeah ive got antibitoics but I feel like im getting worse even though im on antibiotics. The pain releif just isnt touching it so might go to drs tomorrow to see about getting some extra relief.
Im not looking forward to all these teeth getting removed but they are sore so I guess thats a good thing.
Yes exactly snake in disguise is how so many things are these days!
@Mazarita im glad your going better, thats ok about the movie making. If your not up for it thats perfectly fine. Ooh yay im glad your going to knit. Would be pretty cool if you could share bits and pieces.
