Hi Ali,
Hope you are keeping well. Yes indeed it is just as well none of us know what’s around the corner! Never in a million years did I think I would lose my darling husband last year in such a short space of time. It certainly brings everything into perspective when we have silly falling outs with people . Life is too short is never a truer statement especially in these terrible times. I have struggled over these past months I must admit . Not being able to see friends and family or get counselling that I so desperately need. I am trying to stay positive but its not easy. As you can see by the time I am writing this that my sleep pattern has gone out the window ! I have been trying to get a little rescue dog but not had much success so far. I so need something to focus on and give me a reason to get up in the morning. I guess I’ll just have to keep on trying. At least we have had some good news as far as the vaccines are concerned. My sister had hers yesterday and also my nephew who is on dialysis 3 times a week. Am hoping if all goes to plan to have had mine in the spring.
Anyway, take care of yourself. Hope your family are well.
Best wishes, Tina S. ( S. Wales. ) x

In reply to Caroline Eliott. Hi Caroline thank you so much for compliment! Lovely to know that you join me for my Diamonique hour each week and you will know that it is one of my favourite ranges to present. I am sure there will be another three hour Diamonique finale coming up with Jill and I. I love working with her and you're right we have exactly the same sense of humour. Take care and stay well, love Ali xx

In reply to Judith Lennon. Hello again! Seems you wrote to me twice so bless you. I'm really glad to know that your daughter and son-in-law have recovered from Covid and I pray that you will stay safe from it too. Look after yourself, love Ali xx

In reply to Judith Lennon. Hi Judith, nice to hear from you although I'm sorry you're still struggling. I guess you have to take each day as it comes but I'm glad that you're getting good support from the medics. And you're right, it is the lack of physical contact with people we love that everyone is struggling with at the moment. It just seems so endless but it will change, it has to. I love your lockdown story of your son employing his daughter and his niece. Sounds great, and definitely just to lift they need it. The lighter mornings do help, although with my dreadful sleeping pattern I really see you early morning. Thank you for your kind words – we all have our challenges but I think it's important to realise how lucky we are compared to some. You take care and stay safe too, much love, Ali xx

In reply to Penny Roberts. My dear Penny, how lovely to hear from you and congratulations on your 46 years of marriage! I know I will never reach that many years with Colin, but I make the very best of the time we have together. I'm so terribly sorry to know that you have struggled not just with breast cancer but also lung cancer too, but I genuinely believe that your positive attitude will stand you in good stead for the future. Shielding must be so incredibly tough but at least you and your husband are together and looking after each other. Short walks as the spring progresses will no doubt help and I very much hope that you will be able to use your reformer soon. You stay well too Penny, and do keep in touch, love Ali xx
