Good Morning Thursday

Hail stones grey skies and then sun.
Hope you enjoy the musical Mick!
Better safe than sorry urmstongran and gillybob
Have a good afternoon/evening people

Good afternoon! Michael, Annie and all. As we are staying in today, I have been very lazy, and taken my time over everything so far.
Got sidetracked by my jigsaw puzzle before I even got washed and dressed this morning. Then we had a coffee, (dosed with whisky), as DH hadn't slept well last night, and I thought he needed a boost ?
Didn't do me any harm either.
Yesterday I had to collect some new prescription tablets, and look for a new, lighter weight kettle. DH is finding it more difficult to pick up heavy items. Dratted arthritis!
I had Googled, lightweight, and it' surprising how many do not include weight in the specifications. Anyway I bought one, and put the old one in the box, as I can't bear to part with it.
I dropped off my faithful Henry Hoover, to it's new home, where he will be much appreciated.
Also collected my new prescription sun glasses. Very smart. Just need the weather and some sun to test them out.
Gillybob, sorry to hear that you had to cancel your looked forward to concert. But better safe than sorry.
Best wishes to all who have been unwell recently and still poorly.
Have a good day one and all.

Good afternoon from the Gower. Lovely blue sky and fair weather cloud here, sea's a bit foamy but looks lovely - though I wouldn't like to dip my toe in to test the water! Been into see my friend and neighbour, who is terminally ill, this morning as her daughter is in work until 3.30pm. She was a little bit quite this morning but trying to stay positive. Off into the Mumbles village shortly, just to carry out some basic business. Take care everyone, be kind to yourselves - especially those going through tough times.

Morning all from a bright but cold NE. Last day at work, before our weekend away with all of the family tomorrow, really looking forward to it. Sorry about your trip Gillbob hopefully when your and your husband are finally well, you will be able to plan something else. I am sure your GD will love her new room. Hope everyone else who is unwell starts to feel better.

Good morning from a chilly Glasgow. A smattering of snow overnight and now the sun is trying to break through.
Try harder?

What a shame you can’t make it up for the concert gilly Keeping busy seems to be the answer so look forward to your wee GD’s happy face when she sees her big girl bedroom.

Both GDs are concerned for DH and I with regular instructions of what not to do re Corona virus. GD 10yr and a joker has told us to try not to kiss?? Cheeky besom.

A catch up day doing some chores.

Take care everyone with best wishes we all get through this worrying time unscathed?

12Micheal. How did your casserole turn out last weekend? I saw a small slow cooker advertised in Yours magazine and have bought one to try out a vegetable curry and a rice pudding. Would like to hear your comments.

EV ?

Blood letting sounds horrific dragonfly yuck. Just watched Simon Reeve in Russia on repeat a few nights ago and he went to a health spa thingy where he had leeches put on his tummy . Gross .

Do they do it in the same way as giving blood these days ?

INR over and glad to say it was spot on at 2.5 after last test 8 weeks ago. I was hoping for another reduction to the dose but never mind, can't have everything. I only now take 16mgs a week. Luckier than most and so thankful.

Surgery was a one door entry with notices everywhere and I was asked if I'd been abroad, or any of the family and did I feel well so at least they're keen on containment.

I hope everyone else has as good a day, especially if you've got the sunshine---which is hotting up nicely.xx

Urmstongran I think you're wise with your decision. There'll be other times a'plenty.

Me too gilly.

Crossed posts * Gilly* so sorry you are missing out xx

Good morning from a windy, grey but dry Market Harborugh.

Sending love and hugs to all who are suffering today.

Goodmorning Mick and all x

Bright sunny and breezy here in S E Essex. No plans for today, I am trying to keep away from people at the moment also Urmstongran, this whole virus thing seems to be escalating and due to my asthma I am being very cautious.

Keep safe folks x

Gillybob you're such a good kindhearted soul that I can't understand why awful things happen to you.
I've never understood that those who do good in this world seem to get the dirty end of the stick every time.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. The sun is shining in South Yorkshire but it is cool and windy. Food shopping today - hope there is some! I will bake this afternoon if we don’t go out again. Have a good day, folks.

Good morning from a cold but sunny Leicestershire.

Third visit of the week to the hospital - we do lead exciting lives. It is for my DH’s bloodletting - at least they don’t use leeches!

We have coffee with friends every Thursday but I have invited them here instead of meeting in a crowded coffee bar!

Thinking of those who are worried or poorly.

Good morning from a bright and sunny North East Coast.

Well DH and I were supposed to be travelling up to Glasgow today for the Country 2 Country Music festival that starts tomorrow. Like just about everything else we plan, we have had to cancel so we are both feeling very down and have both agreed it will be a very long time before we book anything at all again.

Went to DD’s straight from work last night to dismantle a wardrobe and bed that I had put in Freecycle. We must be mad but ended up getting DS to drop the bed off locally in his van as I felt so sorry for the young couple who asked for it and they had no transport. Their 13 year old son has been sleeping on a mattress on the floor for over a year. They were so thrilled I could’ve cried.

Going to decorate Evie’s big girls room(well she is nearly 2) this weekend and will put some fresh wallpaper on the back wall. Then I’m going to Ikea and picking up one of those shelf units where you can slot the toy boxes in. She is really good at playing now and can spend ages with her little dollies and animal figures. I want to make her room nice for her, my special little girl. It might help take my mind off the “non weekend away” .

Off to “that place” in about half an hour on my 4th worst /4th best day if the week. Not sure how on earth that works? I think I’ve created an 8 day week

To all those having the best of times long may they continue and to those feeling sad, poorly or just not up to scratch I do hope we see some very soon.

Have a good Thursday all and do enjoy Mary Poppins Mick

Love Gillybob xx

Good morning from Kent.

DH going to help a friend with DIY this morning and DS at day centre so the house to myself. I will be indulgent and watch HUTH.

Don’t blame you. It’s not worth the worry. ?

Good mornng from another dry bright Essex. Had first babysitting with 3 DGC yesterday(although only an hour) as DGS1 parents evening at school). 2 week old baby slept through it all and didn't notice mum and dad not there!! School volunteering day today although not sure how much longer the schools will stay open so better get all my chatting done today!! ?
Have a good day everyone and stay safe xxx

I’ve cancelled our group get together for this afternoon. As Himself said - why take the chance?

I feel better now I’ve rung the two couples concerned as I’m a bit of a ditherer!
?

Good morning all from a bright mountsorrel.
Babysitting again this morning, then school run this afternoon and trip to the pony.
Heard there was a parent at school yesterday who gad just returned from a trip to Thailand. People are r do selfish why put all those childten at risk. Apparently they ended up with police at the school.
Kind wishes to all who need it. Have a good day to all

Lovely bright day but blowing a gale here on the Suffolk coast. Such a beautiful day yesterday - we found a little sheltered spot and had our breakfast in the garden. The first of the year. Too chilly today for that I fear. I too went to see Military Wives yesterday PANTGLAS. Wasn’t it lovely ! I cried too. Quite a few in the cinema - all the best seats full and a third of the rest taken. I was surprised. DH having his ears syringed today after a lot of searching for someone to do it. Privately you can pay up to £50 per ear! ?? I’m hoping he will be able to hear me now but I really think he needs hearing aids. He’s fighting against it. ?

Good morning the sun is trying to come out now after very heavy hail thunder and lightning, there was a poor women cycling past my house when it was at it heaviest, I do hope she found some shelter.
Not much on today no school run and I did a shop yesterday, shelves not as empty as last week but I could not get digestive biscuits or hairspray shelfs were empty strange.
I hope everyone has a good day.
