Thanks, Grammaretto. I did use the station, but the queue was right out into the waiting room ( probably because it's now free) and I couldn't find my Radar key! 
Good morning from a damp and overcast Black Country.
It rained incessantly yesterday.
Quite a busy day yesterday. Popped into town. Drove over to Wolverhampton for my hair appointment. I was offered a glass of Prosecco but had to decline! Then to Mums for lunch. Then we both went to visit SIL to see how he was. He seems a lot better, but still getting headaches. (Thank you for all your good wishes) He now has to see what DVLA say about driving.
On the way home I popped into see our new friends we made on holiday in Lindos (they only live 4 miles away) Then home to a chippy supper! phew
Today, food shopping and wrapping of presents I think. We walk into Aldi with our trusty little trolley so we do not have to brave the traffic and car parking.
Oh Marydoll you always keep us entertained with your outings, something always seems to happen! 
Happy Anniversary Dragonfly hope you and DH have a lovely day together.
Thoughts with gilly and hoping her DH is improving day on day.
Good morning from the NE coast.
Well my DH is doing very well all things considering. Managing to get around the house on 2 sticks, although we still have a strict “once up and once down” the stairs rule . Bladder nurse has let us down with promised supplies, said she forgot to order them so they will not be with us until 6th January at the earliest. I wouldn’t mind but they cost a small fortune. Never mind .
His appetite is very good (almost back to normal) and he is definitely putting weight back on . He is still in a lot of pain but that will be the case until he has the operations that he should have had many months ago.
My bleedin’ tooth (literally) has reached a whole new level. Had my gums cut on Thursday afternoon above my 2 front teeth to relieve the pressure from an abscess that has formed around the area of the recent root canal procedures. I had stitches and now have a face like the back end of a double decker bus. It is hugely swollen and for anyone who is familiar with The Grinch, I look a bit like “a Who” person, except my left eye is swollen shut too. The pain is nowhere near as bad in my tooth but my face is so hot, swollen and inflamed it’s impossible to get any rest. More antibiotics to see me through “the holidays”.
Definitely putting this one down as a complete “non event” . Haven’t done any shopping, been out anywhere at all, or even had a tiny glass of wine . I am officially a miserable sod.
Huge congrats on your wedding anniversary dragonfly and to anyone else celebrating or just enjoying the good times 
To those like me, feeling a bit sorry for themselves, sad or poorly I wish with all my heart that we all see some 
very soon.
With love to all my wonderful Gransnet friends .

Just crossed posts with Gillybob- good that DH is doing so well and keep up your lovely optimistic nature (in spite of your dental problems)
Good Morning All x
A lovely sunny morning here on the Mersey coast and if Urmstongran's right about the sunrise it's the time I woke up, 08.30 ( with the sun ) so I'll follow that from now on. I had wakened earlier to go to the loo at 04.30, felt wide awake then but the cats didn't move so I went back to bed.
Catching up with some cleaning and tidying today as with me having been slightly indisposed I haven't felt like doing much. I might even make some mince pies later. Have some wrapping to do too.
Surgery rang me yesterday to see the GP as a follow-up after having been in hospital. The appointment is for the 30th of which I'm glad about really because I'm embarrassed about ringing the emergency services every time I go into A/F. I think it's a huge anxiety problem that I have considering that my heart works perfectly with no abnormalities found whatsoever. Every test that's been done over the years hasn't detected anything. Bloods/gases you name it are A1.
This is what happens when you're a " stiff upper-lip " person and remain strong for everyone-------something's got to give sooner or later, silly me ! You know your own body.
So pleased to hear Mr Gillybob is doing alright, you always do better once you're home. He'll go from strength to strength now and build up in readiness for next years op/s, good on him. x Poor Gillybob has been so run-down these last few weeks that the body has suffered, in her case her mouth/teeth. It doesn't matter what you look like so long as you're not in pain. x
Take care those of you travelling because of the flood warnings. I wish it would direct itself towards Sydney where my D and family live---that's a worry in itself . 
Hope everyone's well with coughs and colds easing, so whatever you do with the day, enjoy it and stay well.
