I have never been very good with heights. Ever seen the film Cliffhanger?? Hands go clammy just watching that every time! Today I had to go up a ladder to saw down a couple of branches that were damaged in the storm last weekend and were in no fit state to be left in situ. Not much in the way of health and safety and my high vis jacket remained on my car bonnet! However, mission accomplished and a good job done.

The teddy bears in white t-shirts and coloured hoodies are now heading towards the £1200 mark raised for Monique’s Go Fund Me page. Tonight I received an order, so I was able to print the t-shirt straight away, which is a big benefit of now owning a mini cutter and press. The Life of Mique teddy in the white t-shirt can be printed in 4 different glitter colours. Burgundy, Gold, Green and Blue.

My deep thanks to Jane for very generously buying the full Gift-A-Bear set, which she is giving to the Rainbows Hospice in Leicestershire. The charity cares for hundreds of families every year who have a child or young person with a serious or terminal illness that means that their lives will be shorter than most. Jane also wanted the profit from her purchase donated to the hospice. This is exactly how the Gift-A-Bears work. You give the bear to whoever you want, and that can be an individual or an organisation, and you also get to choose which charity you want the profits to go to.

Tomorrow I will get to see my brother who is coming down from Leeds to stay over with me. He has a work delivery in Croydon on Monday, so it’s better for him to start from mine at a sensible time, rather than at the crack of dawn (literally) in Leeds. Tonight I sat down and found a French detective drama on iPlayer called The Promise and I must admit to liking a good foreign language drama, so this will keep me happy for a while.

I am not someone who likes to engage in politics or debates. However what is going on inside Ukraine at the moment is heart-breaking and what a world we are living in. The pain and suffering caused hits those most who have the least x Until tomorrow x
