The 'I need a distraction' thread.

Morning everyone!

Sorry you're feeling anxious Lillie. Hopefully the bath and film will help.

Try to take it easy Luna. Don't push yourself too much to do things. Although it would be good to stay busy.

[chinahorse]

Morning beckie how're you?

The bath helped a bit as did a very slow walk to the train station.

[Cacoethes]

I'm ok thanks.

I'm glad the bath helped. Hope today goes ok lovely x

Well done for having a bath Lillie.
I watched a film and now getting dressed (slowly) because my friend is coming over.
How are you Beckie?

[Cacoethes]

Hope you have a nice time with your friend Luna :)

I'm ok thanks. Need to go to asda as usual. Ugh!

It's not my day! I got my ebay parcel and found out that I got charged nearly double for postage. Then whilst opening said ebay parcel I cut myself with the scissors and it bled tons. Then I nicked myself shaving which caused further blood loss. I feel a bit light headed. So I am sitting here with several plasters all on my right hand side.

Also the weather is rainy and windy so I couldn't go for my usual walk around the park.

That's not good Dawn. I hope you are ok.

How is everyone? I'm getting ready to go to the shops and I'll go for a coffee too. Can't be bothered though. I just want to hide.

[Cacoethes]

Hope you're ok Dawn.

Hey Lorraine. Hope you manages to get out. I relate to just wanting to hide!

[not_so_insig]

I am feeling slightly better now that I have had some food Lorraine. Because they happened within 15 mins of each other I lost a fair amount of blood in a short time. But I know that from past experience that I will be ok and they are no longer bleeding.

[Sketchy]

I hope you heal up soon.

I'm in the coffee shop now. Had tea and a toastie, but now having a cappuccino before I head to the shops.

[Cacoethes]

Sounds good Lorraine! I might go out for coffee tomorrow.

[Sketchy]

Good plan. I'm going to try do the same tomorrow since I need to pick up meds anyway. I took my my sketchbook with me. I was drawing insects, but tomorrow I might draw something abstract or marbles. Random, yes I know.

[Cacoethes]

That sounds cool!
Drawing is therapeutic I find.

[not_so_insig]

I am going out for coffee tomorrow. Not sure where yet because I am going to a retail park and they have more than one option. I am meeting with my friend who is going to give me my birthday present and card. Then she's off to see her grandchildren afterwards.

[Sketchy]

That will be good for you getting out tomorrow. What day is your birthday? Have you anything planned for it?

[not_so_insig]

My birthday is on Wednesday Lorraine. I am going out for my birthday meal on Sunday and then on my actual day I will be going out somewhere. Not sure where but it's my choice. Probably go to a seaside resort with a pier (I love piers and am a member of the National Piers Society).

[Sketchy]

Seaside sounds like a nice way to spend your birthday. I love the seaside. I haven't been in ages. I really need to go again. It always inspires me to draw.

[not_so_insig]

I love painting the sea. I haven't done any painting for ages though. I have about 10 piers within a 2 hour drive so I have plenty of choice. I have some vintage postcards of the sea including some which are over 100 years old!

[Sketchy]

That sounds nice. I like piers too.

[not_so_insig]

Scotland has 2 piers Lorraine - at Dunoon and Rothesay. I haven't been to them. All I know is that Dunoon is a mug company!
