Good Morning Thursday

Thank you for the welcoming greetings! I guess I'll try to get some sleep. I never feel lonely during the day but every once in awhile I'm feeling blue at night and at those times living alone can feel oppressive. Your mornings sound lovely.

Oh Marydoll !!
We have a Thornton’s a 2 minute walk round the corner. I shall be in the square there on my way to the library this afternoon and will call in.
I’ll bob on here (much later) and let you and Lins know!

Good morning from sunny Leicestershire.

We received the devastating news that my DH's best friend died yesterday. It was expected but no less of a shock and we are both incredibly sad. Cancer is a very cruel disease with so many twists and turns.
We all now have to move forward without his wise advice.

Hi everyone ?
It's a beautiful sunny day with blue skies and fluffy clouds in Godalming.
A bit of a breeze will prevent it from being too hot ??
My broadband flunked yesterday at about 4pm and they didn't answer phone for the whole hour I tried. Had to use the meagre 1.5GB on mobile. More to it but they will be getting an earful this morning if I can get through.
Motto...never go for a cheap deal with a small company. Lesson learned. I'm leaving them and signed up with EE again.
I hope to have lunch by the river in Guildford today and take some photos.
I hope the sun shines for everyone and a good or better day is had by all.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Younger granddaughter coming today , it’s her birthday

Hope everyone has a good day x

Morning all from a (dare I say?) sunny South Notts. You've really been through the wars Marydoll hope things improve.
Have been virtuous this morning, the washer is going and I've tackled the very dusty lampshade in the bathroom - a shameful blanket of dust had formed. The vac on one chair and me standing firmly on 'tother got the job done safely. Phew!
Hope all is well with everyone.

Good morning from a bright, sunny Aberdeenshire. Am out for lunch today with some girlfriends and looking forward to much hilarity, especially since I've stopped being sick...bloody chemo! They offered me some Dom Perignon, I thought, but it was an anti nausea tablet with a similar name, so no champagne on the NHS then.
Marydoll, have you tried Bonmarche breeks? They come in a 25" leg. ..I have a similar problem, low slung bum.
Have a good day everyone.

Morning everyone bit brighter here in Bristol at the moment, lazy day for me today, a bit of a tidy up and then a good book . DH hoping to cut the grass if it stays dry , what's the chance do you think.

Whoa...I’m back home! Clean bill of health! See my lovely Polish dentist in 9 months time! Hope you are the same

Good morning,
As greyduster says, the weather can't seem to make its mind up here. It's quite a lot breezier than yesterday, but for the moment remains dry.
Food shopping to do today, then ironing.
Out this evening.
Sorry to hear your sad news, dragonfly ?
Enjoy your day. ?

Morning up early today. Waiting for the red cross to collect equipment l no longer need after breaking my ankle last year. Cloudy and sunny. Spring cleaning the bedroom. Hope you all have a good day.

Good morning everyone from somewhere in the middle of the North Sea. The sun is trying to shine and the sea is calm.

Back on board this lovely ship and really enjoying it. Good journey to Dover yesterday and we set sail at 5pm. Needless to say I had already had my first glass of fizz by then . Excellent food and friendly company. And a great cabin, a double for sole occupancy, so acres of space, and right at the front of the ship overlooking the bows. Did my 6 laps of the deck, (a mile), before breakfast as usual!

No plans for the rest of the day, except sit, relax and watch the sea, and go to a string quartet recital after lunch. Maybe another turn around the deck.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning everyone and hello gmarie.
Dry in Brittany this morning. Off to the local Ble Noir festival this afternoon, any excuse for some nice bread.
Bluesapphire's day sounds lovely.

Hi Mary and All of those of you who like Choc gingers. Sainsbury’s sell some choc ginger biscuits by a company called Border, DH loves them. For those of you who can’t get Thornton’s choc ginger sweets I bought DH a box made by Beech’s from one of those sweet shops that look like old fashioned sweet shops with big plastic sweet bottles. They are in most big towns. Happy munching.

Thanks Kate, I will keep an eye out. M&S did them at Christmas, but I haven't seen them recently.
I loathe choc gingers, which means my husband doesn't ever need to share!

Thanks NanKate for that. Yes I’ve bought those ‘Borders’ biscuits from Sainsbury’s and they are yummy. But Thornton’s gingers (and Turkish delight when I go in later) are what I’m craving - not a biscuit.

I've wasted my morning with procrastinations full of good intentions as I was actually up before 9 for a change.

I've got some gooseberries to make jam with so I guess I'd better crack on before they go mushy.

What's not to love about Chocolate Ginger

Ooh gooseberry jam!
Where do you live PamGeo ? Only that’s it’s nice for the GM thread not that I’m planning to come over to share some jam tomorrow ...
?

My usual belated greetings from South Notts where the sun has just gone in and the wind it blows..,
Enjoy your much deserved lunch oldgaijin! Has the chemo finished now? Do hope so! I have Domperidone or whatever they call it, for the sickness I get from Morphine.

Good luck with the results, Marydoll

A "not-day" for me today as the pain is excruciating and I'm struggling.

My best wishes to all who are house-bound and won't see anyone to talk to today! I hope you find something interesting to brighten your day.

Enjoy your trip Mike, it sounds like a good plan you have there.

Came back on to post that we can all (who love Thornton’s gingers) rest easy in our beds tonight because the Urmston branch had plenty on their shelves! I only bought one bag £3.50 and one bag of Turkish delight (same price) as I’m meant to be on a diet now but I really really wanted some.

Sorry to hear you’re struggling today Tillybelle. x

Hi Mick and all late today. But lovely day so far in Kent.. Going to spend some time today trying to sort a disabled badge my best friend is coming with me for support. Then lunch and a good chat. Have a great day everyone. And hi Kitty Lester.
