Hi all,

I really hope you are all managing OK in this current climate of such upset and uncertainty …

Sadly my already 3-week-old cold has got worse again (possibly Sinusitis now) and I woke up yesterday morning with a bright red eye (i.e. almost no white showing, just a mass of dark red - looked like Dracula!!) I confess to panicking a bit (well, a lot to be honest - it looked horrendous!) and hubby got me to an opticians late morning. They fitted me in as an emergency and did thorough checks and concluded it was a combo of three things (of course it had to be - couldn't have been anything less!) Basically I've got something called a Sub-Conjunctival Haemorrhage, alongside (coincidently apparently) viral Conjunctivitis, on top of Sinusitis! The optician told me to self-isolate (no change for me there then!) and rest as much as possible as she reckoned I'm exhausted and totally stressed out - no surprise there either!

Sadly, I can't get to see my almost week-old grandson (haven't seen him yet other than in photos and on video call on WhatsApp!) and family who are about an hour's drive away and who are now having to self-isolate anyway because my step-granddaughter (the 6-year-old from my son's partner's first marriage) has come into contact with someone with possible Coronavirus! But, in any case, I've been told not to go near baby Charlie until my Conjunctivitis clears up. And now, on top of all this - and more dare I say but not go into right now - my son's partner has an infection following her C-section to deliver the baby last week!! What fun all this is!! LOL -- NOT!!

The government have now decided to close all schools here in the UK but, certainly at the moment, not universities (at least not totally.) My son is in Norwich, attending university there, but is mainly working from his home (a house shared with others) in any case as most of his work is self-study. But of course I still worry about him and wish he would come home to be with us!

It is at times like this that you realise just how important family and loved ones are … So I really hope that you can all share your own experiences, thoughts (and fears of course) and, above all else, love with those you love and care about - even if it's only by phone, email, text, Skype or similar. We all need each other right now and must support one another as much as possible. Remember the world is sharing this together and, as I've said before, I'm convinced we'll all come through it all (and no doubt quicker than predicted by the 'gloom and doom' merchants) if we just stay strong, level-headed and - above all else - don't panic!!

Keep strong, safe, loving and loved everyone! XX

Like a lot of others on here (most of us I suspect!) I get a lot of 'spam'. I usually just report and delete it, but lately I've been getting a lot where the spammer then becomes one of my Watchers. Despite trying to work it out, I have not discovered how I can remove these damn pests from my watchers list. It seems you cannot delete unwanted watchers. I realise I can probably just block them but then my understanding is that they will still remain on my watchers list and can also still see what's happening on my pages, even though they can't comment or send messages … 

I have my suspicions about who some of these people might be and also the ones (probably same person each time actually) that favourite or look at my work (with nothing else listed as viewing on their profiles and completely blank profiles which they soon after delete!)

Put simply, does anyone know how I can remove unwanted watchers permanently?

Though totally expected (I have been waiting for that call for nearly 2 weeks now), my mum died this morning … I am so glad and grateful that she passed away peacefully in the end and that most of her family managed to get to see her in the last few weeks of her life. She was, without doubt, an amazing woman - one of the strongest and most strong-willed ever I would suggest, stubborn at times and totally determined and feisty - which often caused a lot of heartache and made things an uphill struggle! But it also meant she was a fighter and would always fight for the right and defend anyone who needed it endlessly and loyally. And, in the end, she was just my mum - and I loved her.

Rest in peace, dear mum - you were SO special.


UPDATE/RESPONSE: Thank you to you all for your kind comments and wishes … I seem to have managed to put this journal entry in two places at once (I keep doing that and still can't work out how!!) I will therefore put this additional/update comment on both places (I think) and thank you all again for your support at this sad time - it means so much. XX

STATUS UPDATE:


Having just posted some fairies (as in earrings for sale through my shop), I'm now going away with them myself ("away with the fairies"! LOL!) as I'm off on a 10 day holiday to Yorkshire/Edinburgh - the latter to visit relatives! Hopefully my health will hold out and the weather will be reasonable, though of course 'going up North' (where it's always colder than here in the south) is always a risk!

Back soon though! Have fun without me!
