Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark but its wet here in Brackley this morning.
Mind you the days are starting to open up with more daylight.
Today, a general stay in clean up , and maybe some banking.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Cold but bright in South Yorkshire. DH has to go to the walk in X-ray centre at the hospital this morning, and I think he has been persuaded not to go on the bus, even though it is much less trouble than trying to find a parking space. School run this afternoon. Happy Birthday, Susan?! Thinking of Hannah and Momma’s family this morning. Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning from a grey Colchester. This thread has a different vibe this morning, but we are all pulling together as usual.
I am off to walking Netball as usual for a Monday.
Happy Birthday Susan 56 thankscupcake and much love to all. xx

Happy Birthday Susan56 ??? hope you have a great day!

Good morning all from Glasgow and it's dry! The first time in weeks, I think. smile

I have a long hospital appointment today, to be screened before I begin (or not) my new RA treatment. They even check for suspicious moles! A full body MOT for free. wink
I was shocked to find that the treatment costs £10,000 a year per patient. How can pharmaceutical companies justify that extortionate cost, even factoring the cost of development? ?

I'm trying to persuade DH, if it doesn't take too long and I feel OK , to go for lunch in an Italian restaurant near the hospital. The have a fabulous delicatessan and it's the only place I know which sells jars of clams for my favourite dish. I have run out. sad

Oh how I envy you active grans, who are going out walking or to the gym. (Well perhaps not the gym bit! ?) Enjoy!

Healing thoughts being sent to all the sick bay patients. Hoping for better news of Gilly.

Have the best day you can.

Good morning from Malta where it is looking like another sunny day.

Happy birthday Susan56, hope you enjoy it. ?

I’ve got a dilemma and can’t decide what I should do. DD1 has asked me to go with her as she is relocating from California to Washington DC. She knows I enjoy a good road trip. The thing is, she leaves on Wednesday week so I haven’t much time to think about it. Plus my poor dog will have to go back to kennels, not to mention the coronavirus.

I have also been thinking of Mommawolf and re-reading her posts. Tragic and sobering to think there’s absolutely nothing we can do to change fate.

Anyway, hope everyone has as good a day as possible. Take care all of you.sunshine

By the time it took to compose my post, Susan56 and Brunette10 had posted.

Many happy returns Susan! ??? and happy new car Brunette!

Good Morning Mick and all.
The sun is out here on the S Welsh coast, will make the most of it and go for a walk this morning.
Happy Birthday Susan, have a lovely time ?
Hope we all have a better day today.

Nannytopsy Mon 02-Mar-20 07:50:53

Good morning Mick and all his followers from a light grey Suffolk. It has been raining but is dry now. The forecast for the next few days is a bit better - fingers crossed that does dry up.
There are lots of jobs to do this week and I am not sure where to start! Getting up is probably the best thing to do first!
Hope the day is kind to you all.

Good morning everyone from South Manchester where it’s sunny!

I’ve got an appointment with the dental hygienist late morning. He’s new to the practice and gentle. Makes all the difference as I’m a devout coward.

Picking my stepfather up after that as I don’t want him to be on his own today. My mum died 2y ago today and we are going out to lunch at one of her favourite restaurants where we will raise a glass to her.

Himself will be taking our grandson to his football coaching at 6pm. It’s indoors at least.

I’m another thinking of Hannah and her family. Her news yesterday was such a shock it stayed with me all yesterday. Mommawolf joined GN only at Christmas time. I remember it as her first post coincided with one of our daughter’s birthday. We didn’t get to ‘know’ her for long did we but she made us all happier reading her lovely posts.

Hope Monday is kind to us all - especially the gillybobs dragonfly and Marydoll - whether we have any plans or none. x

Good Morning from a frosty Black Country, but with bright blues skies at the moment.

Walking for Health walk this morning, then this afternoon off to the town hall to see the film Mrs Lowry and Son.

Happy Birthday Susan56 flowers hope you have a lovely day.

Mommawolf has been constantly on my mind, still cannot believe it.

Wishing you all a good day, with special thoughts to Marydoll Dragonfly and gilly,

Brunette10 Mon 02-Mar-20 07:43:08

Happy Birthday Susan56 - have fun flowers

Good Morning from a bright but very cold Fife. DH has a tooth to be extracted today, some more treatment following on from 2 weeks ago. Shall wait and see how that all goes. Collected new car yesterday so I may take it around the block to customise myself to it, cars are so high tech these days. Thinking of those with ailments and troubles today. Take care.

Susan56 Mon 02-Mar-20 07:37:27

Good morning from the Shropshire borders where it’s a bright start.
Today is my 60th birthday and our daughters have surprised me by booking us a hotel stay at the Titanic Hotel in Liverpool so breakfast,packing and we’re off.
Hope you are feeling better Mary and dragonfly and all who are unwell.
Gilly,I hope your DH has had a reasonable weekend.Sending love and strength to you both.x

Take care and enjoy your day..because life is very precious

Goodmorning Mick and all x

Grey sky here in S E Essex.

Off to the gym this morning, then I shall spend the afternoon putting the house back to normal after 6 days off GC duty.

Take care Goodmorningers x thinking of the poorly folks and those who are no longer here flowers

Morning All

A rather damp start to the day here in the north of Norfolk, but the sky is clear now.

A friend is coming for coffee and cake and a catch up this morning. Time has slipped by so fast and we've a lot of catching up to do.

And then - I have a much dreaded appointment with the dentist this afternoon. I lost part of a filling last May and my NHS dentist cancelled on me three times for a crown to be fitted. So, I've made an appointment with a private dentist with a good reputation. It'll cost a little more (but not as much as expected) but hopefully it'll be done and sorted.

Strengthening vibes as always to the Gillybobs, Mary, Dragonfly and Momma's family if Hannah calls by, and everyone else who's having a hard time.

Morning Mick, morning All from a clear, cold corner of Somerset. Food shop and with luck a walk today. Hope Monday is kind to everyone.

Good Morning Mick and All.

A grey cold day here in South Bucks.

Having lost Oldgaijin and Mommawolf in February let us remember them both with happy memories and move onto Spring and happier times. ??

Hope your hospital appointment goes positively Mary.

I like your idea of your proposed village club Kitty.

Off to have my grotty old feet sorted out.
