Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark but its dry at the moment here in Brackley, we have had some localised flooding with the River Great Ouse , whose source is to the north of the town , its also effect the Valley between Brackley and Buckingham as well.
A day of shopping etc , if weather remains will not go far today.

Good Morning All x.

Looking slightly damp outside but not as cold as it was so I'll avoid putting the heating on in case I don't feel the benefit when the icicles are hanging. Bright and breezy now.

I could do with giving the place a real " bottoming " but haven't got the oomph at the moment. Unless I make a really early start on it, it just remains to be a flick over with the hoover and duster where I can see. Never mind.

Marydoll's posts never fail to make me smile, it's like reading a chapter of one of Monica Dickens's books---" One pair of Hands/Feet, they are hilarious.

Hope you don't feel too bad during your chemo. Dragonfly. I think you're doing so well , keep it up.

Thoughts to the Gillybobs whose welcome post yesterday kept us all up to date with how things were. Where there's life--------chin up girl but please look after yourself as best you can as it's so important xx Try and not to worry about " other things " for the time being.

Everyone else, stay well and mind how you go.

Good morning Mick & all from damp Nottingham.
Check on DS’s puppy this morning & hopefully have a walk. Call at local shops on the way home.
Baking this afternoon, still getting used to new oven.
Visit my sister this evening, she’s off to New Zealand for a month next week to visit her DD & family & will be there for birth of her new GS.
Thoughts are with Gillybob & her DH.
Hope all not well, struggling or have worries have a better day.
Have s good day everyone.

Good morning everyone from sunny Malaga. It’s cold and there’s a strong breeze but hopefully it’ll warm up later.

I tried to send a post an hour ago but the WiFi struggles intermittently. Hope this one goes! Perhaps best if I shorten the message.

Well done to you Pantglas doing yoga and strength building exercises. I cheat and just bring out a large handbag to push under the seat in front!

BlueSapphire enjoy your night out with your friendly neighbours! dragonfly I loved the photo of you wearing your wig - it really suits you! Lovely that your daughter managed to get to you last night.

We think we’ll eat out tonight - it seems to work well for us going out every other night. It’s not as expensive here!

Thinking of our miss gillybob and hope they catch a break soon. Life can be so unfair.

Hope Friday is good to us all whether we have plans or none. x

Pleased to hear your appointment went well Dragonfly. Positives vibes to help you through chemo?

Oh good - my post has landed! I left some bits out but one part was to you Marydoll I love reading your little novella every morning - you have a real talent to make us laugh on here!

Morning all. I've been reading all your posts for weeks on this forum but have never posted. But I feel I need to throw in my best wishes for all of those having tough times- seems there are too many to mention without risking someone feeling 'left oot'.
I'm in Nairobi for 10 days with DD1 and DGS. She is back at work (American contract so she went back at 3m), she has her first business trip without him next week so I'm here to hold the fort. Just need to get on witb it rather than dread all the things that might go wrong!

Much love and a glimmer of Kenyan sunshine to all who need it ?

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders where it is supposed to be fine for my morning outdoors but is anything but!
I love the Glasgow daily news too! Keep it up Marydoll
I have a house full again which is lovely but takes up time. Breakfast lasts at least an hour.
Thanks Gilly for taking the time to update us. Sending love as ever flowers (It's forget-me-nots)

Morning Mick and All.

Still in West Sussex on GP duty. The boys had to dress up brightly for Children in Need today. The youngest insisted on wearing flimsy football shorts, he is the one with skin problems, allergies etc. As we walked to school in the cold and misly rain he said ‘I love feeling cold’ I suppose it stops any itching.

We go back home tomorrow to recover for a day or two and will be back on Wednesday.

All good and hopeful wishes to the Gillybobs.

We have avoided flooding but all the surrounding fields are full and the river very high. This morning is sunny but cold. A welcome break from all the rain which returns soon I know. Hugs for the Gilly family - how brave she is and taking time to update. Just joined this forum and it’s fascinating to read everyone. Hugs to all
