Good morning from a dry Leicestershire.

Penultimate chemo today. I may also have a scan as the oncology suspects I may have a clot on the lung. Apparently it is quite common.
DH’s blood letting and the trips on the bus worked well yesterday and he even had time to visit the oncologist with me first as he saw me early.

Good wishes to * Marydoll* and Gilly.

Good morning all from a very cold Glasgow, its 3°, but feels so much colder.

Not venturing out today, as I have now a hacking cough, (where on earth has that come from?), so I will try and catch up on bits and pieces today. I still haven't sorted the coatigan! grin

We have DGD for an extra visit today, to let her mum and dad go out for dinner. For the first time ever, I have said she cannot have a sleepover, I don't think I can manage it. I feel I'm a terrible gran, as she was quite upset when I told her. sad.
DH will take her home tonight to her own house and pick up her parents from the station on the way.

Dragonfly, I was so sorry to read in the Kitchen that your chemo has caused even more problems, mine pale into insignificance compared to yours.
Hoping that Gilly and Mr G have a better day today.
Scentia, it sounded as if you had a positive visit with your GP yesterday.
I know I will have forgotten someone, so sending hugs to all the sick bay patients and those with worries. flowers.

Auntieflo, I made chelsea buns using the hot cross bun yesterday, with great success. My Kitchen Aid has earned it's money over and over again. Just married and skint, I used to do it all by hand, it took ages, now I just throw all the ingredients in the bowl.
I roped DH in to do the rolling of the dough, as my feeble efforts weren't having much impact on things! I made 20, I would have sent you all one, but there are none left! My children could smell them as they came in the door, so they all left with goodie bags.

Have the best day you can, goodmorningers.

Good morming from a surprisingly dry Cheshire. Am off on a spa day today with my friend - it was a Christmas gift from Himself - a treatment (I have chosen a back massage) and then a meal. So a nice relaxing day for me! Hope Marydoll, the Gillybobs and Dragonfly and all the others who are struggling, have a better day today. Take care.

Good morning all.very cold today and the forecast isn’t good. Rambling today with a group of 12 pals. I think we will get soaked but hey ho ! Might have to cut the walk short and head straight to the pub for drinks before our lunch. Daffs are coming out at last in our garden and my amaryllis is about to bloom. Had it for Xmas , so it’s taken its time growing. Thoughts to all and have a gentle day.

Good morning from a grey and damp Cassino. I hope the sun in Rome reaches us soon. Shopping today but not much else planned.
I hope all who are under the weather for one reason or another feel better soon.

Good Morning everyone. It’s wet this morning with more to come over the weekend.

Yesterday was a craft day and was very enjoyable. Afterwards I went to visit an old friend.

Shopping to be done at some point today and that’s about it.

Hope you all have a good day ?

Good Morning to all and to those who follow. A tad frosty here in Fife and no wind. Looks quite peaceful for the moment. Have DGS's today however DGS1 has been very sick with the 'sick bug' so won't be going to nursery. He wasn't well at all yesterday so here's hoping he's brighter today. Friday again, just don't know where the week goes. Thinking of everyone with ailments, worries and anxieties, it's never easy. Hope today is good for everyone

Morning Mick and Bellasnonna and all to follow. It’s dry here in South Manchester too. Kettle’s on and Himself is snoozing.

I’m meeting two of my friends from book club for lunch + wine today. It may well stretch into the afternoon!

Thinking of dragonfly gillybob and Marydoll today.

Oh and Molly the new border collie puppy! When does she start her training Mommawolf - does she just copy the older dog?

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

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Most of the snow has melted now but what's left has frozen so it'll be treacherous on the pavements.
Yoga this morning.
The joiner is coming at 8.30 to put up new curtain rails. I had better get up.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from Rome where the sun is shining and it looks like it will be a nice day.

DD3 and I have had a lovely few days in Italy, we fly back to Malta this evening so still have the day to do a bit of sightseeing. Only downside is a massive blister on the ball of my foot which is extremely painful and making walking rather difficult.

Wishing everyone a good day, especially those of you who have troubles. sunshine

Good Morning Everyone,
Its a dark, but a dry start here in Brackley this morning, was expecting to see rain or other in Brackley if forecast was right>
Today, small shop then see how day goes , may take a bus ride unsure at the moment or watch cycling on TV this morning.
