Any time I am able to sit around in my dressing gown, I just feel at low ebb and as if the day is disappearing without ever having properly begun.<br /><br />12 years is indeed a long time. Better late than never though. I hope your wandering daughter returns sooner rather than later. My partner's daughters have now been estranged from him for 26 months and counting, though he's really hoping they might see his blog post asking them to meet him in a local cafe this weekend.The Poet Laura-eatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07779308486569849157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-67089290853816990232014-02-25T23:51:41.939-03:302014-02-25T23:51:41.939-03:30Friko:

However, we do have to let things go otherwise we'd be driven crazy.<br /><br />All that bad weather. I do hate it when you have to miss things that are important to us, like the book club. Hopefully, it will get brighter soon.<br />Maggie x<br /><br /><a href="http://granniemay.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Nuts in May</a>Maggie Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183886005936250976noreply@blogger.com
