Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark here in Brackley with frost and fog as well.
Typical Friday, shop, lunch , watch Cycling on TV , and wait for the weekend .
Which I ma hoping will be Ok on Saturday, but looks changeable from then.

Good morning from North Yorkshire. It’s really foggy here.
Off to the dentist and hairdresser today. In two minds whether to stay in town and go to the Little Women matinee. I’ve heard mixed reviews.
Hope they find your vein without too much trouble Dragonfly. Mary you wear me out thinking about your busy-ness. Take care.
Good wishes to all who are unwell, caring for others or struggling.
Hope today is kind to everyone.

Good morning from the NE coast where we have a cold and frosty start to Friday. I was thinking about my “little Friday Girl” and wonder if I will ever see her again. I used to so look forward to Fridays but they are just the same as every other day now.

After the usual disturbed night, up and down, panics and nightmares DH is sleeping now. I hate having to wake him but I can’t leave for “that place” until he is up, sorted and downstairs .

A warm Good Morning thread Welcome to you Teagranny I can assure you that you have come to the right place for kindness and support . smile

Love reading about your life and animals Mommawolf the stories you tell are so lovely and really cheer me up. I can picture Nanook playing in the frozen pond. Thank you for sharing.

Hope dragonfly is okay today , Mr Pantglas and everyone else feeling poorly or under the weather.

Lovely gesture with the wedding favours Marydoll do try and take it easy .... (as if)

Taking my dad for his usual shop later then hoping to cook something nice for DH’s supper. It’s very hard for him to enjoy anything at the minute as he cannot sit comfortably needing to lie down to get any pain relief.

Have a good Friday everyone. Stay warm and take care of yourselves.

Love Gillybob xx

Good morning all from a very grey and cold north Cheshire. I will walk in the woods at 9 and then must go to help my housebound friend with paperwork. Not looking forward to it, but it must be done. Perhaps I'll pick up some nice pastries to cheer us up.

It's 2C outside so I shall be going out in several layers! Thinking of all who are struggling with illness and sadness. Stay safe and warm everyone.

Good Morning All x

Expecting another decent day again today. Although very frosty yesterday it was lovely and sunny all day.
Because of the forthcoming forecast I got myself cracking yesterday morning and armed with my list I went to Asda. You'd think I was feeding an army smile Bought a big chunky jumper in the sale---£7 !

I'd hate to run out of anything when the weather does turn. Particularly the gales which are forecast I'd never stay upright !

It's so open here by the river that we get the full blast of whatever's thrown at us, but I wouldn't live anywhere else.
Because it's a bit breezy I'll get the washing done today so the more I'm on the go the better.

Hoping you have a better day Marydoll and thoughts to Dragonfly for today----you brave lady ! Also those of you who are troubled in some way, I hope things don't turn out too badly for you. Still in my thoughts Gillybob xx

Crumpets and drinking choc now. Enjoy the day everyone. x

Thoughts with gillybob & DH, Dragonfly & Marydoll, pantglas DH.
Lovely & thoughtful wedding favours marydoll
Hope all not well or struggling have a better day.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Freezing and very foggy in South Yorkshire this morning. I have been awake since five and at least now you can actually see across the road! We are having lunch and a big catch up today with a friend we haven’t seen for a while.
Kind thoughts to all who are struggling and a warm welcome to new folks!

Anniebach Fri 07-Feb-20 09:03:40

Good morning Mick and all.
WelcomeTeagranny1066
What a lovely thing for your DD and prospective sil to do Mary.
Hope you feel better soon dragonfly.
Have a pleasant day everyone.

A frosty morning all from Gobowen and thank you so, so much for your best wishes for DH - this thread is so cockles-of-the-heartwarming when you’re trying to be a big girl and hold things together!

The op went well and he was back on the ward late pm, bantering with the nurses, so already on the mend! Hoping to bring him home on Sunday- he’ll be bored silly by then!

So many on here are going through their own tough times and still take the trouble to wish others well in whatever they’re up to - good, middling or bad, and that’s why I love it.

You’re the bestest people I know flowers - thank you x

Roses Fri 07-Feb-20 09:24:31

good morning everyone I just wanted to say to MARYDOLL that certain medication can give you horrendous nightmares. I know you have had trouble getting your meds right but if you've started on a new one it could be that. Xx

Harris27 Fri 07-Feb-20 09:30:46

Good morning from a cold ne. Taking over from gillybobs and glad it’s Friday! Had a couple of busy weekends previously but hope to relax more on this one. Hate food shopping but a chore that has to be done so will do that tomorrow and stay in hopefully rest of weekend catching up on chores. Have a good Friday all.

Good Morning from a dry Bristol.
Pantglas I am glad all went well.
dragonfly thinking of you , its a pity they did not give you a Picc line to start with . thinking of you flowers
Sorry you had a bad night Marydoll
Gillybob you are amazing flowers
Welcome to all new people.
Have a peaceful day everyone.

Marydoll Fri 07-Feb-20 09:35:04

Thanks Roses. Same old meds, just higher doses. I do have a sore throat and blinding headache, perhaps I have a bug.Like all things in life, it will pass! Sitting docs, reading GN. It's bliss no bridezilla texts, yet! . ?

Auntieflo Fri 07-Feb-20 09:40:06

Good morning *Michael, Annie, and all others.
Woken to a very frosty outlook, so glad we don't have to go out until lunchtime. DH is volunteering and I am meeting an old work colleague for a light lunch, and lots of chat.
Marydoll, slow down! and have a bit of a rest. Some chance!
I am sorry to hear of the problems with you arm Dragonfly, and when I read of the difficulties some of you face, I feel lucky that I only had to have radiotherapy after my lumpectomy.
Gillybob, sending best wishes to you and your DH. I don't know how you manage to sound cheerful, but you keep on going through it all. {{{hugs}}}

To all those who are going through bad times, sending positive vibes.
Have a good day one and all.

harrigran Fri 07-Feb-20 09:44:57

Good morning from a cold, misty NE.
We will be staying at home today after DH's GP appointment yesterday knocked the stuffing out of him.
Will do some light housework and catch up on TV.
Thinking of the gillybobs and all who are poorly.

NumNum Fri 07-Feb-20 10:00:32

Bonjour everyone from a sunny but cold and frosty France.

Floor washing planned for today as the weather's lovely and I can keep all the (6) dogs outside for while - then they can come back inside and mess it all up again!!!

Homemade fish n chips tonight and then relax in front of TV - it's been a very busy week! Looking forward to the rugby this weekend and I hope the weather is kind to those of you out and about.

Special wishes to all who need them at the moment.

Marydoll Fri 07-Feb-20 10:14:48

Pantglas, glad to hear all went well. ?

Now sitting in chemist, while they phone the doctor. Mix up with meds again! I'm loving this 'quiet' time!
I may just stay here. ?

Kalu Fri 07-Feb-20 10:20:01

Good morning from a frosty but sunny Glasgow.

Busy getting organised as we are going up to our But n Ben in Perthshire for the weekend just to check all is as it should be.

Best wishes to all who are struggling, hoping your day gets better as it goes on. Have a pleasant day.

NanKate Fri 07-Feb-20 10:29:39

Teagranny welcome to one of the best threads on GN. Such lovely kind people here who really care.

Mary your Pharmacy must be vert low on TripAdvisor. How many times have they messed up your meds, or is it the Docs at faulty ?

Mapleleaf Fri 07-Feb-20 10:47:01

Good morning everyone,

It was very foggy earlier but is clearing well now and the sun keeps making an attempt to get out.

I need to pop into the garden shortly to anchor a few trees that are in pots to something sturdy so they don't blow over in the expected gales. At the moment, it's the calm before the storm.

Welcome, Teagranny1966 and congratulations on getting your new job. I hope it all goes well.

Marydoll what an excellent idea your GD and her fiancé have had - such good causes. Don't overdo things today!

Gillybob, I hope today brings you and DH some respite.

Dragonfly, I hope all goes well today and that the hospital can find a vein for the line.

Pantglas, that's good news about your DH, and here's hoping that he is allowed home on Sunday.

momb enjoy Glencoe - it's beautiful there, but stay safe and heed the forecast. ?

I hope everyone has a good day.

Irenelily Fri 07-Feb-20 10:57:00

Oh Teagranny welcome! Does the 1966 indicate your birth year? Horrors - my youngest daughter was born that year! She was obviously a late starter as her boys are 10 and 12!!
That makes me really old - have just had a VERY big birthday, but mostly keep healthy for which I give thanks!
I love this group and read the posts every day - rarely post myself - but think you are a lovely group of people - keep it up!!!

ann678tifney Fri 07-Feb-20 11:19:50

Morning Everyone, have been following this thread for a while and have decided its time I posted. I am also from the NE and it was very foggy when I left for work, but clear now just cold. Another one with very little sleep last night due to our very inconsiderate neighbour who likes blasting her music all night, so with only 2 hours sleep its going to be a long day at work. My husband who has a lot of medical problems is very stressed over it all, and he doesn't do well with no sleep, hopefully it doesn't cause his angina to play up, as stress does cause it to. Hope everyone who isn't very well, starts to feel better soon.

Glambat Fri 07-Feb-20 11:25:26

Morning all from a newbie in Gloucestershire......sunny but pretty chilly. Excited today about having a new fire surround & fire fitted ( how sad am I ?), been in my house since Sept and gradually trying to make it ‘ mine ‘. Have a good w/end all.

Jaan12 Fri 07-Feb-20 11:33:49

Good morning from Fife. Frost covering everything this morning but the sunshine is helping to clear it. Bad news here as unfortunately the vet advised putting my cat to sleep yesterday. She had been with me since a kitten and was 16 and developed a heart problem causing fluid on the lungs. The house feels very empty without her.

Urmstongran Fri 07-Feb-20 11:34:22

Birthday wishes to you IreneLily and many happy returns.

‘Hello and welcome’ Glambat and annetifney ... I sound like the late David Frost there!
