Good Morning Wednesday

Quite agree JenniferEccles - I try and stand back and look at patterns in some of the GN threads which interest me. She probably got fed up with having to repeat the current restrictions to posters who didn’t seem to ‘get it’. There’s a bit of that going on here, too, but it’s such a nice, welcoming, non-controversial thread, that it doesn’t need sullying with criticism.
I’ve added my thoughts to the holiday home thread this morning (as I visited my house yesterday to deal with all the plants that have been quietly dying for two months).
Meanwhile, back in sunny S. Lincolnshire (property values pretty low) not a lot happening......moving a lot of pots (plants still alive in those) and other clutter, including two large much-loved gnomes, ready for a brave chap arriving tomorrow to jet wash all the slabbery. A visit to Lidl later to see how the social distancing is getting on and then a chicken curry to make.
Hoping there will be something on the TV tonight that won’t make me cry - The A Word last night set me off. But quite a lot does at the moment as many of you have found out.
Be as beat as you can manage - that’ll do for today.

Just become a grandma again (1 hour ago) so feeling elated and thrilled. Sadly Mum (DD) and baby live 5000 miles away and although we have flights booked, we cannot go!

Congratulations Newatthis. You must feel very excited.

There will be lots of photo’s and no doubt FaceTime too so that you can see the little one.
Sorry for you that there is no visit on the cards soon. Nothing will be as satisfying as a cuddle with a newborn family member.

Just about good morning to Mick and everyone from a warm and sunny Silver Coast Portugal.. I like to read through before posting but it then makes it late.
I do hope your leg pains are due to your medication Dragonfly46 and soon go away.
Hopefully you will soon have Barclaygate sorted Gillybob You have been through so much and it's about time things got better for you.
Bellasnana how awful for your friend when she was already suffering so much but she is lucky to have such a good friend in you. A good friend of ours died in his home on Good Friday alone and was found by other friends. His wish had always been for his body to be returned to England for burial in his wife's grave. In the end it was not allowed and he had to be cremated here and his ashes returned to England which finally happened last week.
Oh Marydoll what awful suffering you have yet you are always so bright when you post. When my pain is bad I just want to hide away. It's bearable today so time I got up and did some pottering.
We moved here from West Norfolk Nflkdumpling so your posts always bring back memories.
I hope everyone has a good day whatever their plans.

Congratulations Newatthis! I can see some very overworked video links looming in the future!

Congratulations newatthis new babies bring so much love and joy into our world.

So sorry you are not able to visit and have a cuddle at the moment ??????

First post on Good Morning.

Another NorthEast girl here, from the Land of the Prince Bishops.
I’ll be 70 next year and DH will be 70 in November. DH is very unwell having been diagnosed with stage 1V lymphoma in 2016. 4 courses of chemotherapy so far and still here - under the care of Newcastle’s Freeman Hospital. Been hospitalized in March and again in April with sepsis.

I have 2 DDs. Both married and living in suburb of Newcastle. DD1 has DGS George - very much loved, despite her saying she didn’t want children! He’s not yet 3, so she was a late mother. DD2 is a full time wheelchair user following a stroke when she was 12 - she’s inspirational!

Fabulous weather today, so off into the garden now. Hope everyone on GN has a good day and stays safe. X

It’s nice to read so many nice comments, instead of rudeness
We need more
Be polite, and welcoming to new users
Assume good faith
Avoid personal attacks
Don’t say anything you yourself would find offensive.

Have a great day all.

Hello and welcome Georgesgran

Welcome to G'net Georgesgran ?

Welcome to GN Georgesgran

It seems to be a Mammawolf remembering day as I too have been thinking of her. I had only joined a couple of weeks when that terrible accident happened, but I always looked for her posts as they were so lovely and homely. I could just picture her farmhouse kitchen with them all preparing the food for the men, and then her walks down to the lower meadow and the daffodils there ........ She was truly lovely.

Susan56 I too am a huge fan of Anne Cleves and the Shetland series must be one of the best there is. I have just got this one and am about to start reading. I also love LJ Ross and Ellie Griffiths. The joys of lockdown!

Hello Georgesgran you'll like be this thread. So sorry to hear about your DH - lymphoma is a horrid disease. You'll get lots of support on here. Hello to GranddadBrian too. You're right - I can't be doing with nastiness either and there's none on here. ??

Welcome Georgesgran I’m in Tyneside so not far from you. My DD had a baby 2 years ago, (aged 33) . A huge surprise after being told she would never have children .

The weather has indeed been gorgeous today, for a change .

I look forward to seeing your posts on Mick’s lovely Good Morning thread. x

Thank you Taichinan,I will look out for those authors?

Hello, know it’s not morning, but just thought I would mention that Gabriella ‘left’ back in Nov , probably because some GNs couldn’t take criticism and took offence. Let’s hope she comes back again this time and ignores the narrow minded coven. I

Megs36 GabriellaG54 rejoined and has been posting regularly until three days ago.

I really dislike the use of that word coven to describe other posters.

And, I do too, marydoll. I find it very patronising!!

I know Gabriella rejoined.
