A very happy birthday for today , it’s years since we visited Brackley ,
Around 199o we had a canal boat moored at Anglo welsh for two years . As my husband worked that way for two years .
We live near the new forest ,
Good memories of that area , have great birthday . Annie

Good morning All x Happy Birthday to Mick too.
Another damp start to the day here on the banks of the Mersey. I'm sitting admiring the beautiful bluey hue of the Cytisus ? in full bloom, though must cut it down a bit later on before it gets out of hand.

Not a lot on today so far but getting a bit jittery at the prospect of attending a funeral tomorrow of the husband of one of my dear friends. A sad time.

Hope those who've been unwell are now on the mend and taking things as easy as is possible. Enjoy the day whatever you do.

Good morning everyone from a bright Essex by the sea. Off to vote soon and then a supermarket shop.
A very Happy Birthday Mick, enjoy your day.
I hope everyone with aches and pains improves.
Have a good day everyone.

Good Morning , damp and dull with no promise of an improvement .

Mapleleaf Thu 02-May-19 08:32:03

Good morning.
It's bright and sunny here at the moment, though cooler and breezier. We are expecting rain showers later this afternoon.
Happy birthday, Mick ?
Harri, I agree with gillybob - although your chest pain may be muscular or anxiety related, I think you should get it checked again to be on the safe side.
Good news to hear Marydoll is out of hospital.
To everyone else who is feeling unwell, take care and I hope you soon feel brighter.
Not a lot planned here. The local town and a couple of nearby villages will be gridlocked with lots of diversions in place as the tour de Yorkshire passes through, so I'll stay put today, I think.
Hope everyone has a decent Thursday. ?

Good morning from a damp, overcast Aberdeenshire. It was dry at five, but there has been rain since and the forecast is showers.
The mutt had a fantastic romp yesterday and came home shattered. He was quite happy to "help" me plant lily bulbs in the garden. I have put them near the back door and have some heliotrope to put in the bed, so the perfume should be wonderful.
Have a good day everyone.

Nannytopsy Thu 02-May-19 08:24:37

Happy Birthday Mick! ??
Sunny here in Leicester - another viewing today, so the day will start with a tidying up. I could do some weeding too, if I get round to it!
Have a good day everyone!

gillybob Thu 02-May-19 08:13:39

A bit of a late good morning from the NE coast. Its dry and a bit overcast but brightening. One of those changeable days I think. Just finishing my cup of tea then off to “that place” . like you Harris27 I’m so glad it’s Thursday...

You really do need to get those chest pains checked out again Harri it might be muscular or stress and anxiety related but you should still get it checked. Could you maybe get an emergency GP appointment?

So glad to hear that Marydoll is home from hospital. I look forward to her return to Gransnet. That lurgy takes a lot of shifting doesn’t it kitty? Glad you are feeling a bit better. My coughing and wheezing is much better during the day but starts as soon as I lie down at night. So annoying.

I’m so sorry you have had to leave your beloved Malaga Urmstongran especially when you have left glorious sunshine to come back to the ever changeable UK. It will be lovely seeing the children again though won’t it?

Hope you have a very happy birthday Mick and as others have said, why not treat yourself to something nice?

Anyway, I hope everyone has a good Thursday whatever they are up to. x

Good morning from sunny Colchester. The forecast rain is now expected this afternoon. Into town for Euros as DH is fishing in France from tomorrow. I also need a new mattress cover as my new tumble dryer melted a bit of this one and it's scratchy.
I echo everyone's advice to Harri to get a second opinion .

Many Happy returns toMick ??

BlueSapphire Thu 02-May-19 07:59:35

Happy birthday ? Mick!
Bright and sunny in Northampton this morning.
Thinking about sorting through some of DH's clothes this morning; some of his wardrobe I cannot bring myself to touch yet. It's going to be difficult, but there are things he rarely wore or that had not been worn for donkey's years and they might as well go to people who need them.
Gardening this afternoon if it stays fine.
You must see about that pain Harrigran.
Hope everyone has a nice day.

Good Morning from a very overcast Black Country.

Had a lovely lunch with friends yesterday in Birmingham.

Today, I must tackle the ironing, then I have my U3A monthly meeting this afternoon.

Pleased to hear Marydoll is home, and yes harrigran you must ring 111 or go to Doctors.

Happy birthday Mick cupcake

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Cool and fresh today, just right for gardening.
I'll need to stay in for deliveries.
After my jaunt to Dundee yesterday for the GN meet up, I could do with a rest.
I'm very glad Marydoll and kitty are both up and about again.

Happy Birthday to Michael !!

Good morning from Fife and its raining grin. Had fun day yesterday with DGS1 on his birthday. Meeting friend for catch up and coffee this morning then later on must do some shopping. Happy Birthday Mick hope you have a great day. harrigran - don't waste any time get yourself checked again. Kitty takes things easy do as dragonfly suggests I would say. As you know Marydoll is home, we shall hear from her when she is ready to get back and tantalise us all with her wit. Have a good day all.

Urmstongran Thu 02-May-19 07:31:46

Good morning everyone from a damp South Manchester. I didn’t want to leave Malaga as the weather had just turned to gorgeous but there are compensations here so I’m lucky. Seeing our two grandchildren when they come home from school is the biggest draw!

Happy 71st Mick hope you have a lovely day. harrigran I’m sure you must be anxious about your horrible chest pain. Maybe it’s muscular but do the right thing and get checked out again today?

Hope Thursday is kind to us all, whether plans or no. x

Good Morning to all from a cloudy and windy S Welsh Coast.
Happy Birthday Mick ????
Hope you feel better soon Harrigran .
Glad to hear that Marydoll is home from hospital - get well soon.
The funeral of a former teaching colleague later this morning, she was a lovely woman who, as a young teacher, took me under her wing. DH will take me as I'm still reliant on crutches and the wheelchair. Hospital appointment tomorrow.
Wishing everyone a pleasant day.

kittylester Thu 02-May-19 07:22:16

Please ring 111, harri.brew

DoraMarr Thu 02-May-19 07:15:38

Good morning from a rather cloudy Birmingham, and Happy Birthday to Micheal.cupcake
Having my morning tea, then off to pick up my grandaughter. We’ll walk up to the polling station together- it’s never to early to introduce them to democracy! I always remember the Suffragettes on polling day- yesterday in the art gallery I noticed a plaque to Bertha Ryland, who was one of the Birmingham suffragettes.

dragonfly46 Thu 02-May-19 07:14:51

Good morning all, the sun is now shining in Leicestershire.

Happy Birthday Mick.

Harrigan back to the doctors I think with you please.

kitty take it easy - we shall be up the road in the Muffin Bar having coffee!

ninathenana Thu 02-May-19 07:11:09

Happy Birthday Mick.

Good morning everyone from a grey Kent. Showers are forecast this evening in the area so we may or may not get some rain.
Eye clinic this morning, nothing else planned as it depends whether I need more treatment.
Have a good day everyone
I hope you feel better and that the medics can sort it out harrigran

NanKate Thu 02-May-19 07:07:29

Morning Mick and a very happy 71st birthday.

Morning to the rest of the GM thread crew.

Glad you are up and about Kitty. I suggest you sit in the Sainsbury’s cafe while your DH does the shopping you are only just up and out off your sick bed.

I hear the great news that Marydoll is out of hospital and back home. We may hear from her soon.

I don’t have any plans Maw just like you. I will just let the day happen.

Sun shining in South Bucks. ?

Harris27 Thu 02-May-19 07:04:49
