Good morning from a very chilly but sunny north of Scotland. I am relaxing after a busy time helping family. Lots of snowdrops in bloom and the green shoots of daffodils are peeping through. EllenVanin I am so very sad for you and all the family. marydoll I must have missed something but I hope your appointment today goes well and you maybe meet someone “interesting” in the waiting room to regale us tomorrow. Off to meet a friend I haven’t seen for some time for lunch. It may be a pleasantly long afternoon. Have the best day you can everyone.

Morning, folks! Chilly and misty in Argyll but some rummagings in the moss* (that's the 'lawn' to unhilly gardens) of the Boggy Brae revealed the first wee points of Northern Marsh Orchid in places where they grew last year.

*It's proper 'lawn' moss: Rhytidiadelphus squarrosus, Springy Turf Moss. Other species too but that's dominant in many oarts.

My shoulder didn't live up to yesterday's early morning promises and ached like billyo. Hey ho. Forward, back, forward, back, shoulder healing hokey-cokey ?. It is healing and that's the main thing.

Good morning all from a bright and frosty mid Notts. I rather think the three appointments on consecutive days has taken it out of me a little so a quiet day in store with my book and knitting. May Friday be kind to us all x

Very well said GG13 totally agree.

Mum of mad boys, I too Googled as you did and just found fatal accident involving two elderly women.

Good morning from a cold Derbyshire, but its sunshining, which is very rare at the moment. If it stays that way my walk with my four legged friend will be especially good.

Hope everyone has a good day, and those with worries and are poorly start to feel better.

Good Morning All x
A lovely sunny, if frosty morning, but just what the doctor ordered. That sun feels warmer too.

May I first thank everyone for their continued thoughts, they keep me warm, honestly ! So very kind. xx

I don't feel too bad so far today with just a small local shop to do, fresh bread and potatoes needed and a top-up of cat food before the bigger shop at Asda next week.

Thinking of Marydoll and her medications, Dragonfly and the Gillybob's and anyone else who has appts. or illnesses.xx
See you arrived safely Urmstongran, enjoy your stay. x

Crumpets and drinking choc now to keep the strength up.
Stay well and warm everyone, you're all so special. x

Thank you Grammaretto, I am new to this thread. Do you all visit it regularly? You seem to know each other. I'm in Wetherspoons now, with a coffee. wink

Good morning from a very sunny Essex. What a difference that yellow ball in the sky can make! Going for celebratory lunch with DDIL's mother today as she is staying for a few days to meet her new granddaughter. Then hair appt and quiet night in after a busy week. Will read other posts now as had a late start. Hope everyone can manage to enjoy that little bit ofsunshinexxxx

Good morning from the NE where we have a sunny but frosty day.
We have a date for my cousin's funeral, two weeks today. She had a brain tumour but developed sepsis, she remained in her nursing home rather being hospitalised. I am pleased that they respected her wishes.
When we were shopping on Wednesday a man stood in the middle of Aldi and did the loudest sneeze, clearly not muffled by a handkerchief or elbow. The look on every shopper's face spoke volumes.
I am staying at home today.
Kind thoughts to all.

Good morning from east London, bright blue skies, little bit chill. I’ve been awake for ages enjoying a good read (keggie carew, Dadland ) now in a scurry as I promised DP I’d be ready to go when he gets back from the doctors which is about 10. I’d threatened not to go back to the Southend house until there was some progress in selling it; also our house is filling up as the other one empties. I gave in yesterday and arranged a couple of estate agent viewings today; he said he hadn’t got round to doing as he had some ironing to do (!). So we need to vamos to get there in time for the first one. Have a good day.

Good morning from a bright, sunny and very busy NE hospital car park. Just a quick touch base as DH is waiting his turn . I will catch up with previous posts later.

Hope everyone has a good Friday ( my most favourite day of the week ).

Love Gillybob x

Morning all. A newbie to posting on this thread but manage to read it most mornings on my way to work.
I am based in South Wales along with a couple of other posters so you don't need a weather update from here (though it is probably worth noting that it's not raining smile)!
Have a good day & weekend everyone.

Hi all, Just a reminder that these threads are to provide support without judgement. We were very sorry to hear about the passing of one of our members and we would ask you to respect the family's wishes and not speculate on the details at what is a very difficult time.

Kalu Fri 06-Mar-20 10:02:25

Good morning all from another sunny start to the day in Glasgow.

Didn’t quite make it to St. Andrews yesterday. DH fell asleep?. Another attempt to go today?? Definitely visiting Pretty Things Mary. Hope you feel better as the day goes on. Take things easy.

What a glorious day ahead for you Urmstongran? Enjoy your time away.

I hope things calm down for you Bellasnana.
Kind thoughts are with you during such a very sad time EllenVannin
Thoughts also with gilly and Dragonfly

Best wishes to all for a pleasant day.

Morning Mick and All from sunny West Sussex.

Sorry you are not feeling well Mary. Glad you got lots of support from you GN pals after the nastiness of yesterday.

Well we have finished our first stint of looking after the DGSs and you could now describe me as a worn out dish clothe and DH similar. As I tried to get a quick shower in before taking the boys to school the youngest 7 walks into the bathroom and discusses with me whether I can come downstairs and play cars with him. ? He appeared oblivious of me being starkers.

Hope all goes well for *Gillybob’s) DH. ?

Morning All

A bright spring morning in my bit of Norfolk.

I've only just surfaced having been up all night with what might be a tummy bug. Goodness knows how/where I picked it up as I've been washing my hands every five minutes! I'm supposed to be in a quiz team tonight so hopefully all will be well by then although it could be fate as they may well do better without me.

Have good and successful days everyone.
