Good Morning Saturday

Good morning all from a dreich day ahead in Glasgow.

Having the strangest dreams. Last night’s dream, I gave birth to a baby boy, told DH to wrap it in a bath sheet as I had to take it into town to buy some clothes for it. Drove into town with baby still in bath sheet and went clothes shopping! More of a nightmare actually!?

Thinking of oldgaijin whenever I look at the daffodils I have in the sitting room?

Unbelievable that your poor DH was actually discharged when he is still so unwell gilly ? Hope you are well Dragonfly

Best wishes to those who are unwell or struggling and a pleasant day to all.

Good morning from east London, dry and sunny. Off to Southend today, DP wants to tackle ‘the cupboard at the top of the stairs’ where behind the bedding he’s spotted a load of papers. It used to be his den when he was nowt but a bairn so he may be looking for hidden treasures. Funnily enough, after the funeral, DP’s cousin gave all the family ladies a bunch of daffodils; mine are fully blooming now, matching the ones in the garden. Hope you all have a reasonable day.

Good morning from a sunny blustery Leicestershire.

A quick trip to M &S to pick up an order then walking and coffee with a friend.

Good that your DH is on antibiotics Corner. Miraculously we seem to have missed the dreaded lurgy.

Appalled to hear your DH has been sent home Gilly I would have though they should keep him in and bring forward the op. Maybe you should contact PALS.

That is a pain harrigan I hope you find a new buyer soon.

I have 2 vases of daffodils in the window, one is next to my parents wedding picture as they so loved daffodils and the other for Oldgaijin.

What a worry for you gillybob
Feel for you harrigran house buying and selling is so stressful

gilly I can’t believe what I’ve just read about your DH. How could they do that!

Good morning from Surrey. The sun is just trying to come through after rain last night. The family are all back in Wales for the rugby so am by myself this weekend.

Am going out shortly to get the papers then going to the local farm shop to buy some fruit etc and to have tea and toast in their nice cafe, will take the paper in to read in peace then home after a walk to see the rugby. Hope I don’t scare the cat singing the Welsh anthem, it brings a lump to my throat, still miss not living in Wales although being so near DD and GD is wonderful. Have a happy day everyone and thinking of those experiencing sad times

Good morning from Kent.
The sun is trying to show it's face after a wet evening yesterday.
Some cleaning and tidying is called for as we will have visitors tomorrow.
Have a good day everyone. Thinking of the gillybobs, Oldgaijin, and others.

Good Morning everyone
Welcome February....January felt like a long month!
Lazy start for me today..had two mugs of tea in bed while thinking about plans for today.
Have got antibiotics so hopefully will stop coughing soon. Planning a short trip to get some birthday bits and pieces for DGD and then pottering at home sort of day.
Will buy a bunch of daffodils too...lovely idea
Wishing everyone a good day.

Good morning from a windy NE.
Stay at home day again, I didn't make it out to lunch with friend yesterday as I was unwell and had to cancel.
Estate agent rang to tell us that after six months the buyers have pulled out.

Good morning from North Yorkshire. It’s dry but very windy here.
A day at home doing laundry and sorting out my study.
Thinking of all those not well.
Hope Saturday is kind to everyone.

Good morning Mick and all his followers. It’s a bright morning in Suffolk and we are starting to decorate the sitting room. Of course, everything will stop in time for rugby this afternoon. ?

Cant believe they sent your DH home gillybob thinking of you. xx

Good morning everyone from a bright Essex by the sea. Late night yesterday so we slept in this morning.
We are going into town shortly then a visit to see grandchildren is on the cards.
I think there will be a lot of rugby watching later.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning all, a beautiful morning here in Bristol so a nice walk and coffee out somewhere I think.
Such a horrible day yesterday with rain so we went to the cinema and saw The Gentleman DHS choice, there was a lot of violence not what I like but it was ok.
I am hoping everyone has a good day and all are feeling a bit better.

Good morning from the NE coast where we have a windy start to Saturday.

One of the worst nights ever with hardly a wink of sleep. I can hardly believe it but DH was discharged from hospital yesterday afternoon. I was told to collect him from the ward but when I drove through to get him he was already in the “discharge lounge” shaking like a leaf and looking very poorly. No discharge letter just a carrier bag of medication . He is clearly not well and is in a tremendous amount of pain that I cannot deal with here at home. He really should be in hospital . I feel like the NHS has let him down big style .

My daffodils in honour of our dear GM friend OldGaijin (christened Happy Yellow Flowers by middle DGD when she was about 4) have opened and are looking beautiful. I have bought another 2 bunches which are tightly closed and I have put them outside in the cold shed so they will not open until I bring them indoors .

I was 3 in 1965 so can’t really remember it at all.

Hope Saturday is kind to everyone.

Love Gillybob xx

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning all. The weather here is very blustery washing day if the clothes stay on the line! Hope everyone is ok and those with worries are in my thoughts.

Good morning all from a wet and miserable Glasgow. Mick, I wish we had a flea market near us, I love a good rake about. The Sunday one in Rome is absolutely amazing!

Nothing much planned today, apart from taking hems up on trousers and baking the hot cross buns, which (hopefully) have been rising overnight.

Bellasnanna, I too forgot about the early start! .I was surprised at how early your doctor started her day!
MOMMAWOLF, you always cheer me up with your posts.

Thinking of all those dealing with with pain and sorrow.
That's a lovely idea about the daffodils to remember oldaigin. The inevitability of her situation is never far from my thoughts, I cannot begin to imagine how I would deal with it. A brave lady, indeed.
If I manage to get out to church tonight, (feeling a bit yukky this morning, still in bed) I will light some candles for oldaigin, on behalf of us all.

Have a good Saturday, everyone.

Good morning everybody, sunny here today, patio is wet though, so we might have had a shower in the night. DDs birthday today so we will pop in with her birthday cake and gifts, she is coming over tonight for a take away and will stay over with the dog, so an early morning tomorrow wading through the (still) half flooded fields, the footpath is so wet and muddy I long for Spring, although the snowdrops and catkins look so pretty.
Have a good day.

Need to take DH his tea and pills then off to give my inner market trader a chance to shine at the parish jumble sale. Hope we raise a reasonable sum as we support a parish in the Zambian copper belt where we are building a house for a permanent priest. Always interesting to watch the ruthlessness of the dealers, identifiable by their enormous bags, but I particularly enjoy the children spending pocket money and delighted by the most unexpected finds.

Thinking of Oldgaijin, Gilly, Mr Corner and all those with worries and concerns.

Good morning all.
Dull and windy in Stockport.
Part of the charm and success of GN is the wide age gap and experience of members.
In 1965 I was 28 and had my D in the July, the hippy era had passed me by.
Have as good a day as you can everyone.

Good morning from bright Oxfordshire. As ever up bright and early to what seems to be an overcast but bright sky.

I am about to go out for my daily walk. I think I will go up the hill today to listen to the birds, even wonder whether I will hear a lark. The birds were singing springtime songs in their multitudes yesterday in the garden and the compost heap is being picked over for nesting materials - I put a container of shredded paper onthe heap this week. So a February lark is not beyond possibility.

Good morning everyone from a windy Northampton, at least it is dry. Just sitting with my tea and a cat on my lap. They like a lot of attention when I get up.
Just going to make pancakes for my breakfast, as there is some batter left over from when DGD and I made some on Thursday.
Going to see Star Wars this afternoon with DD and DGD which I am looking forward to.
Daffodils are just opening on my mantelpiece, thinking of oldgaijin.

Good Morning from a dry and almost light Black Country.

Driving off to DD's at 8.30 to spend the day with two DGD's.
DD has an all day celebration with friends for a 40th Birthday, and her DH is working. First job since he was in Hospital.

I am taking the girls to see Frozen 2. Then late afternoon have to drive over to Lichfield to babysit DS's two girls whilst they go out...phew! Although the eldest is 15, so it is just a matter of someone being there, so they don't fight and argue . Probably stay overnight if they are late back.

I was only 12 in 1965 Mommawolf, but remember the Hippy era well!

Best wishes to all who are unwell or struggling. Special thoughts to gilly and her DH, I really hope they can end this for them whilst he is in Hospital. Oldgaijin much in my thoughts

Morning all from a dark North Leicestershire. I think it is dry outside (and in!)

We are expecting a plumber at about 9am and then we are off to the big blue and yellow warehouse for floating shelves and lighting!! We managed to put it off last time but needs must.

Hope Mr Corner improves corner. Bella, it took me a while to work out that you are an hour ahead of the uk.

Buying daffodils later and hoping for good news from gilly.
