Good Morning Everyone,
Its another bright and dry start here in Brackley this morning.
Do my essential shop, before I return home, and lockdown.
Looks like another 3 weeks until May 7th.
Planning a slow cooker meal for Sunday and Monday , more tomorrow.

Aw Gilly I hope things get better for you flowers

Marydoll Fri 17-Apr-20 14:03:52

Thinking of you Gilly. ?

Gillybobs so many virtual friends popping back to see if you are ok. You must know how much you mean to us and a trouble shared? Sending you positive vibes to deal with whatever life throws at you and the strength to deal with it as you have always doneflowersxxx

Curlywhirly Fri 17-Apr-20 13:58:38

Aw, Gillybob glad you are ok, everyone was worried. Sorry that you are having a bad time, just wish I could do something to help. I am sure you know though, that you have many virtual friends on here, who are all willing things to get better from you.

gillybob I’m sure you weren’t. Sorry you are having such troubles. Hugs and ?

Sending you love and hugs Gillybobs and hope you can come through it all. X

Hi Everyone . Thank you all so much for your concern . I’m okay . Just having a rough time dealing with some of the stuff that’s going on at the moment . Things seem to be going from bad to worse .

Don’t want to say too much more, but I must’ve been a very bad person in a previous life .

xx

Your neighbour has probably got it about right Urmstongran, especially in normal times ?. We've been lucky to have a few sunny days so if it rains in the daytime atm I don't mind (as long as it's not too often) as I can't go further than my front gate anyway ?. Still, hey ho ... when the weather is fine I am lucky as I have the garden to enjoy.
I wish you had one in Malaga too but I hope your lockdown does end soon and you can get out.

GrannySomerset Fri 17-Apr-20 13:31:32

We are all worried about Gillybob and her family. We feel we know her even though we don’t, and just want life to get better for her.

BladeAnnie Fri 17-Apr-20 13:21:16

I too came back to look for Gillybob x

Urmstongran Fri 17-Apr-20 12:50:49

Oh Cherryyour comment It's raining here in the Gower, yippee! smile Didn't think I'd be pleased to have it rain but the garden needs it reminds me of what one of my friends out here said one time. Someone was saying during a rainy day ‘the reservoirs need it’ and she made us all giggle when she said ‘well, it can rain all it likes between midnight and 7am!’.
?

Another who has come back on to see if our gillybob has posted. I’m concerned now too. x

Beechnut Fri 17-Apr-20 12:35:00

Taichinan I have sent you a private message.

Kalu Fri 17-Apr-20 12:23:22

Oh Scentia. That does sound nasty. Plenty rest but I am a bit wary to go back out on my bike?
Great relief for you and Dexter Dragonfly. Well done and I’m sure Dexter will appreciate your perseverance.
Sorry to hear your RA has flared up Marydoll. You deserve a bit of respite from it all but hoping it calms down soon for you.

I was hoping gilly would have visited by now. I do hope she is ok considering all she has to deal with. Take care of yourself gilly. Come and offload amongst friends if it helps. ?

Auntieflo Fri 17-Apr-20 12:03:20

Just finished the ironing, so popped back to see if Gillybob has been by. I hope she comes and tells us all is well, we do worry about her, after the awful year that she has had.
Thanks for the answers about my strange plant, in not a very convenient place.
I hope it is a hydrangea, and as it grows, I will post an update.
I forgot to mention earlier, that while we were all out clapping, a sporty car, with a spoiler on the back, went past and flames came out of the exhaust.?

GrannyGravy13 Fri 17-Apr-20 11:58:38

Popped back to see if gillybob had posted, is anyone in direct contact with her?

gillybob I do hope you and your family are safe and well flowers

dragonfly46 Fri 17-Apr-20 11:52:00

Where is Gilly? We are worried about you xx

CherryCezzy Fri 17-Apr-20 11:47:07

Good morning everyone. It's raining here in the Gower, yippee! smile Didn't think I'd be pleased to have it rain but the garden needs it.
It's taken all this time to get going this morning after all the extra sedating medication I have to take for 3 nights after having a seizure earlier in the week and I've been extra slow reading through this lovely morning thread.

Sentia that sounds like a very nasty injury, please take it easy ?

I'm another one concerned that Gillybob hasn't posted, I hope you are alright x

Marydoll sorry to hear that your RA has flared up, it sounds really bad. I really hope it settles quickly, look after yourself and please rest flowers

Good news about your DDs dog dragonfly, I hope he continues to let you take care of his eyes smile

The clapping for the key workers is getting bigger here. Lots of rattles and quite a few fireworks too. A few weeks ago there was hardly any of us doing it so it's heartwarming that it has grown.

We had our grocery delivery just after 9pm yesterday. The SiL of my recently departed friend, who works in Sainsbury's, did it for us. We didn't get our tagliatelle but he substituted it with spaghetti which was fine. So lovely and kind of him.

I need another coffee now so that's what I'm going to do. I honestly don't know what else I will make of the day except make a shepherds pie for dinner tonight.

Take care everyone, be kind to yourselves and stay safe ❤️

EllanVannin Fri 17-Apr-20 11:46:39

Well that's me done for the whole weekend without moving. A lovely piece of beef for Sunday which I'll cook tomorrow and it'll do me Monday as well.
I can't get out of the habit of not feeding the family, and if I did but realise it I'd save an awful lot----never mind, I do enjoy a bit of good grub.grin Keeps me going. Always enough for others if they need it, that's my motto.

Good morning from sunny and bright Market Harborough.

Another day of this lockdown and it is supposed to go on for another 3 weeks. Still I am a lot better off than a lot of people.
Have a good day everyone and please take care.

Taichinan Fri 17-Apr-20 11:38:35

Good morning Mick and everyone. It's a sunny day here on my bit of the Angus coast but there's cloud stacked up out to sea, and as the wind is coming in off the sea I guess so is the cloud. Beachnut where is your cold friend? When I put some lovely photos of plants in my garden on FB on Wednesday my friend in Michigan said they'd woken up to snow! I'm sitting here all dolled up because this is the Big Day of my week - my Mindful Chef box will be delivered just after lunch. But it's not the box I'm excited about - it's the fact that I will see, albeit through glass, a Real Live Person!! Otherwise there's another part of the garden to attack I suppose before I allow myself to relax and read this lovely thread. I do admire you people who read everything and remember all the things you want to comment on and then post - all before breakfast! Went out last night and did my wee clap for all those wonderful people keeping going against the invisible enemy - but as usual was drowned out by the hoots from the boats in the little port at the foot of the hill. They can be heard from miles around! Have as good a day as you can people x ???

Good (late) morning from a very soggy Devon. I've been out for a bit of shopping & to sort out an item charged twice for my neighbour when I shopped for her on Tuesday, also took a cabbage back which was rotting in the middle when she went to use it yesterday, also bought Tuesday with a sell by date of the 20th April!!!! Staff in Co-op are lovely, refund on overcharge & refund & replacement on cabbagesmile.

Today I'm going to start painting my bedroom, I can only do it piecemeal as my bedroom is small & I can only move some of the furniture myself, anything I manage to do will be a bonus when lockdown is lifted & DD can come & help me. Yesterday I painted 6 fence posts, panels will get done when we get some fine days.

Bought some stewing steak today as my veg box had been delivered & there is leeks, carrots & swede in there. That's my weekend Dinners sorted, yesterday I made a Walnut Loaf which tastes scrummy (not good for me as I'm Diabetic but I shall freeze slices for when I want a treathmm

Thank you Scentia, hope you recover quickly.

NannyC2 Fri 17-Apr-20 11:18:43

Not a good morning in the south! Very heavy rain - a plume travelling northwards apparently from Spain!
BBC are warning 'disturbed' front churning tornadoes to smash into UK this weekend -that's all we need!!

Noname Fri 17-Apr-20 11:17:19

Good morning all from a very wet Devon. A bit late posting as I’ve been busy cleaning the oven! ?

Urmstongran Fri 17-Apr-20 11:04:07

Hi lakeview not seen you post before? Nice to have you join the gang!
