Good morning all from a cool and cloudy Glasgow. Dithering about whether to put the washing out or not.
That's probably the only important decision I will make today!
Mick that's a shame your trimmers didn't live up to your expectation. I'm awaiting a hair trimmer from the long river company for DH, (terrified to try it), along with an oximeter, recommended on here.
I thinned my very thick hair and fringe yesterday. I was surprised to experience no disasters, apart from a sliced thumb! I hadn't realised thinning scissors were so sharp! Ouch! ?
It looks OK and DD noticed it did look thinner.
I want to thank all those on GN, who made my birthday very special with their good wishes and participation in the virtual school birthday bash, started by Pantglas.
It was probably one of the best birthdays, I have ever had.
Who would have believed it, given the circumstances?
What was amusing, was that every single person included a bottle of non-alcoholic fizz in my gifts, knowing that I can no longer have alcohol!
I haven't seen one of my sons for seven weeks, as he and his fiancée are chronic asthmatics and were self isolating, working from home.
I couldn't believe it when they arrived in my back garden last night. I'm afraid there were a lot of tears yesterday, but tears of joy for a change! 
My future DIL's mum and sister have been working in ICU with Covid patients so it has been an extremely stressful time for all of them.
Number 2 son looks like an extra from Braveheat, his bright red hair and beard need cut. His hair seems to have reverted back to the carrot red of his youth!
My other son organised a family video chat yesterday morning and DH had a terrible time, stopping me from Elder son has the blackest hair and beard and it looked so odd, seeing one red headed brother and one very dark haired in the video.
A very gentle day for us and we have a Tesco delivery, what exciting lives we live!
DH was saying he would even look forward to hospital visit in the rush hour, if it meant we could legitimitely get out of here!
Norsat, chicken and chorizo is on my menu for next week, not had it for ages.
So glad to see Dragonfly posting again, but missing Auntieflo.
Hoping to hear better news from Susan and Gilly.
I'm going to welcome any newcomers in advance and wish those with a birthday, a very happy day.
I have things to catch on and may not be back for a while.
Take care all.
Good morning from the NE coast where we have a cold and grey start to Friday . My little Friday girl is so desperate to make an appearance but I think she understands things aren’t quite right .
Wonderful news about your new “lockdown baby” Scentia I think there might be quite a few of those 
I slept a little better last night although I dunno why. Nothing’s changed much. Those of us being treat very badly by Barclays did get a little mention on Martin Lewis’s money program last night so fingers crossed they get their act together soon. My DH got a letter from Imperial College London yesterday asking if he would be prepared to take a CV test which has sent my son’s conspiracy theory's into overdrive. He remains convinced that my DH had the CV at the end of last year but they didn’t understand what it was then. 
Hope everyone has as good a day as possible .
Love

Gingster your son probably did have CV.
My son always said when my DH was on life support at the end of last year that they didn’t have a clue what was wrong with him. They tried every antibiotic known to man . Huge cocktails of stuff that had the most senior microbiologist in the country completely baffled . Kept saying that whatever it was mimicked other virus’s . I’m starting to wonder myself and why suddenly this letter ?
On a lighter note, on opening the letter my DH announced “I knew I shouldn’t have had that Chinese takeaway last October.” 
Good morning, Michael and all GNs. A bright start I’m South Yorkshire; not quite as cold as yesterday. We had to take a trip to the bank yesterday, so nipped into the butchers next door for one of their legendary steak pies and then across the road to one of our lovely parks for a walk. We took a small flask of coffee and a couple of pieces of fruit cake and sat on the grass in the sun for a while. Lots of family groups doing the same, but acres of space so no problems. Far less stressful than trying to avoid people on our usual local paths. We noticed on the way home that two of our three garden centres were open and judging from the car parks, very busy. I have some plants I have raised to find space for today, and that will be the last of our planting. Have a good safe day folks
