Good Morning Tuesday

Good Morning everyone from Severnside where it is grey and wettter than a wet thing!

I hope your friend knows the answer if you don’t Mick ??

My day will be spent indoors and finding something to do.

Not that long ago I read The Other Boleyn Girl by PG Urm. I don’t usually bother with historical books but I thought I’d give it ago as DD lent it to me and I was surprised to find I enjoyed it.
I’ll just pop off to make another cuppa as I haven’t got a chamber pot.

Look after yourselves all ?

Good morning from murky Leicestershire, the hills have disappeared.

Really bad night - have to take Dexter to the vet hospital this morning as his eye has got worse. I am not sure what they can do.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Good Morning from a very wet Oxfordshire.
Oh no Dragonfly I really hope the vet can help poor Dexter
Going to work soon
Best wishes to all

Morning from an unexpectedly wet E Kent. Not pouring though. I always say that we are the Gobi of the UK, it hardly ever rains...
Nothing much on today again, just a walk. dragonfly, so sorry about Dexter. Hope the vet can help.
Keep well and safe

Good Morning early risers. Yup, it’s raining with heavy skies in Worcs. too. I’ve woken early, partly because my kitty companion decides when I wake up (with a persistent patting of her paw on my nose and chin) and partly because I’m worrying a bit about my Job for the Day. DH got delivery of his hair clippers and wants me to give him a haircut.
We’ve watched YouTube for a tutorial but I feel 1 hour’s training is probably not going to be enough for his exacting standards.
Other than that today I will open my new Woman & Home magazine that comes monthly in the post (a lovely gift to me), and am going to make a full blown roast tea this evening. We didn’t have one at the weekend as the weather was so warm, not so now unfortunately.
Take care all especially those still working, those with poorly relatives and pets. ?

Good morning from wet West Berks .

Yesterday I did all the housework that needed doing . Not a huge amount because as i’m not working ( furloughed ) there’s plenty of time to keep on top of it . I still have a rule of no ‘ jobs’ at the weekend though .

Hoping for a healthy peaceful day ☮️ for everyone.

I’m going to take a look at the recent thread about ‘Favourite Movies’ choose one I haven’t seen , try to find it and plonk myself down and watch it whilst knitting baby hats and drinking coffee.

Mick I hope your dull tart livens up for you later

Ha ha NotAGran. I do too.

Morning all from my bit of Leicestershire where it is actually raining a bit.

I hope something can be done for Dexter, Dragonfly - it is quite a responsibility for you.

Lovely sort of daughter in law brought us some wine round last night and we had a good chat - she on the drive, me at the door - luckily it wasnt raining then!

I have 4 'companionship calls' to do today - the admin that goes along with it is a bit silly though considering it's only a chat.

Mick/Notagran
Puzzler61 Good luck with the clippers..I did my DH hair at the weekend, was trying to work out if I had them the right way round then suddenly noticed he a big bald patch! So he now has a very short 'covid cut'!!

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire. It is wet out there today.
I will have a gentle start to today and take a slow walk into the factory to do some invoices and paperwork. I really enjoyed my day at my ‘new’ job yesterday and I can see me wanting to do this type of work exclusively, so I will start encouraging DH to retire, then we can get rid of the factory!!

DD sent me a video of DGS who has taken his first few steps, he looked confused as to why Mummy was so excited??

Hope everyone has a good day and all stay safe??

Good morning Mick and the GM team, it’s grey and wet in east London this morning.
I have woken up with breathing problems, related to my disability not CV19 thankfully, but it’s still tiresome. The change in the weather and the related change in atmospheric pressure creates the problems for me.

Quiet day, I think. Hoping the animated gift voucher I sent to a family member (in lieu of a birthday present) arrived safely with the animation in tact.
The gardens will be enjoying the rain, but our cats are disgusted. Minnie, our 7 year old cat came indoors soaked, demanding to be dried !

Hope everyone has the best day possible and ‘let’s be careful out there’. ?

Special best wishes to Dexter ?

Good morning everyone from Malaga where it’s another grey day. It’s mild though.

Himself is snoozing and I’ve made a cuppa.

We find out today if we adults are to be allowed out on Sunday for exercise.
?

I rang my 87y old step+father yesterday. Fortunately he’s doing okay. He is on his own since mum died two years ago. He is pleased by how regularly we all ring him and luckily he hasn’t cottoned on that it’s done by rota. Such a good idea really by our (teacher!) daughter. She said better that he definitely gets one call a day rather than the 3 of us inadvertently call him on the same day then perhaps nothing for a while. Obviously ‘extra’ calls are fine and we do, I think that’s why the set day calls aren’t apparent.

He was telling me that since the lockdown he hasn’t had any cold calling and he’s delighted! He laughed when I said now might have been the time he’d have enjoyed chatting and keeping them talking for a while!

Oh dragonfly poor Dexter and poor you. This has been such a worry for you and I know you’ll be fearing his eye cannot be saved.

Good luck with the hair clippers Puzzler! You’re a braver woman than me. Mind you as my dear dad used to say ‘what’s the difference between a good haircut and a bad one? About 6 weeks.’
?

Hope Tuesday is good to us all. Keep safe everyone that’s the main thing. x

What rain kitty have we had rain?

A good damp morning to you all. I think most of us will be having rain today, but the gardens definitely in need of a good soak. Have t had rain here for at least 6 weeks. Well DH returned to the hospital for his results yesterday and then had another lot of tests, more thorough than the last lot. The consultant told him he had had a mild stroke but will prescribe extra meds and hopefully should be ok. Speech still a bit slurry but in time might correct itself. ?. We have so much to thank the NHS for. His treatment and care was first rate - couldn’t have asked for better. Extra clapping and a donation heading their way. ???.
Glad you’re enjoying your new job SCENTIA. You have to be a very special person to do the job you love. My Grandaughter plans to go into Mental Health Nursing , particularly with children. Due to go to Uni in September but now who knows ???
Poor you DRAGONFLY and poor DEXTER. Hope the vets can sort him out.
I can hear a plop plop plop coming from somewhere in the kitchen. I’ve wandered around trying to find out where it’s coming from but can’t locate it. ?. When DH arises, I’ll ask him if he can hear it and he’ll say NO . ??. Have a pleasant, cosy day indoors . The sun will return at the weekend ?.

Good morning from east London, and it’s wet and grey where I am, proper rain overnight as parts of the garden look quite refreshed. DP’s birthday cake is in the oven; having spent days working in the lofts, he spent all yesterday in the garden putting up my dragon plaque and a wall planter, made a start on the side walkthrough and washed all the action men. GD has never been introduced to these; DS may not want her to be. So trying to make the cake without him seeing was a bit of a non starter. I did make a batch of oatie biscuits yesterday which we like but managed to miss out the sugar. Can’t see us eating them as they don’t taste right and fall apart when you so much as look at them. Maybe a lot of crumbles coming up. He wants to do a visit at a distance to see DD and family today in East Ham; it could be a brief one. Hope you have a good day.

Good morning everyone from a cloudy but dry Inverness. Yesterday was much cooler but at least it stayed dry and quite sunny. Today looks like it’ll stay the same as the rain doesn’t look like it’s reached us here yet - for now !

Nothing different planned for today ? just the usual pottering in the garden, a bit of online exercise and a walk around the local area.

Definitely fingers and toes crossed that you’re let out on Sunday Urmstongran !

Hope you’re feeling better soon Nortsat and I hope there’s some better news for Dexter soon Dragonfly

Hope everyone finds something to enjoy today and if you have to go out please take care ?

Well what a horrible morning to be sat in bed with the chamberpot! Usually by now the sun is peeking round the mountain but it’s raining hard and doesn’t look like it’s going to stop!

I’ll just have to linger for longer reading all the posts! Hope Dexter improves after his visit to hospital Dragonfly! I’m crossing fingers for Urmstongran- hope you’re allowed out soon!

Kedgeree for brunch later but for the moment I’m quite happy snuggled down in bed! Stay well folks x

Good morning from rainy Colchester. The rain is needed by the garden, as we haven't seen any since before lockdown, but won't do our mood any favours.
At least we don't have to go out in it.
Usual plans today...no plans

Hope your DH continues to improve Gingster and so pleased you got such excellent NHS care ????

Good news Gingster

Good Morning from a rainy Black Country. The garden needs it anyway!

No plans for today, we may paint the kitchen walls seeing as we cannot go outside. Usual video call to my 90 year old Mum, who seems to be coping quite well.

I have everything crossed that you may be able to go outside soon for a walk Urmston

Wishing your DH well Gingster and that he continues to improve.

Hoping Dexter improves Dragonfly, such a worry for you.

Wishing everyone a good day

Good morning everyone from a very wet Essex by the sea, a very different day to yesterday.
More painting in the hall today, DH does most of it but I get the job of doing along the top of the skirting boards as he finds it hard to bend. We want new flooring but I think that is going to have to wait.
I made an awesome chocolate cake yesterday, even if I do say so myself.
A casserole to prepare for dinner and some ironing to do later.
Have the best day you can and stay safe everyone xx
