Good Morning Thursday

Good morning all from a very wet mid-Notts. I've been having a bit of a wobble but Marydoll I had to laugh at your last post!! Bet he didn't know what had hit him!! Sainsbury's delivery this afternoon but other than that a quiet day on the cards. Stay safe everyone and may Thursday be kind to us all x

Good Morning - all you endlessly entertaining peeps - from a very warm, sunny/cloudy S of ??.

marydoll you receive a gold star for your re-entry into Glasgow society, I think. They must all be reeling, especially after a bit of a break from your high standards (good luck with that, by the way!). I honestly have no idea how companies function at all when they are so stupidly inefficient. Everyone has their garage stories to tell. Give how scandalously high the charges are, you’d think they’d have got the hang of straightforward servicing by now....but no. They can’t even cope with making the necessary phone calls. Presumably the whole palaver is supposed to work by osmosis? Does this avoid you arriving when the place is closed? No! Hope that ear will require copious ice packs and that lessons are learned.

Not sure where you find your energy! I love to read how we all behave and react compared with our OH’s, for example. I’ll always give people a chance until the moment my intelligence is insulted - by one too many lies, excuses, ‘not my problems’ thrown at me.....or worse, disinterest. Then I fly. My DH compares me with one of our cats leaving the litter tray...the excitement is so intense, she does a wall of death race around the house, sometimes vaulting over the dog’s bed like a lunatic. Of course, she’s only 15 and as light as a feather - and I never use the litter tray, but I know what he means. My reactions and indignation will sometimes leave him breathless. He, on the other hand, is a lot more measured and determined. I don’t always subscribe to ‘slow and steady wins the race’ but often it’s better if it’s going to impact your health. So, although you make us laugh, you take care when setting this very flawed world to rights!

EV I need to be more like you...fire, flood, storm and tempest, irate letterbox owners and vacuum cleaners in revolt, you just get on with something else!? Hope the weather improves soon and you have good news of your little girl.

Greyduster, Susan Harri chins up.....feel stronger soon. Scentia please rest and wait for the pain to go. Nortsat so pleased you’re improving. BlueSapphire let us know how you’re doing.

Nfk rain in Norfolk? Imagine that. Here we don’t ever get pissistent rain any more, just a storm. Whenever I find out the 300 days sunshine per year is a lie, we shall move. Fine so far!

Have a safe day, GM folks - good to hear some are venturing out. Take care, be happy. Hugs ???

Good morning from a very wet East London , haven’t posted much lately as feeling quite negative and down .I have e joyed reading all of your lovely posts though .My sleep is also very up and down and often no up and about till 8.30 .Had some disappointing news yesterday,our Cornwall holiday with my sister and husband and family is cancelled .It was due early July for one week but the company has informed my BiL that even if lock down is over ,they have to have three days between each stay ,which would leave us only 3 full days ,too far to travel for such a short time .My ever the optimist DSiL is still hoping for a Gîte holiday in France to which I am cordially invited !
It’s pouring here at the moment and noticed that the gutter in the front is leaking . I had them checked and cleaned out last week by a young chap recommended to me . I certainly won’t be recommending him on ! Must now get dressed and ready for another day, I was supposed to be meeting a friend for tea in her garden ,maybe not ... ?

Good morning from a very wet and miserable East Midlands.

I’m going to sort out paints and brushes for a painting day outside tomorrow, weather permitting. Social distancing and all that.

I wish DH would go out for the day and stop following me around like a little puppy dog!!!!

Take care and stay safe and sane.

Good? Morning everyone from the Gower, where the rain has settled firmly into place. To be fair it's the first time for a good while here, apart from a few light drops. We thought that there was going to be a, thunderstorm yesterday evening but three rumbles and it was gone.

Sentia, it does sound like sciatic pain, though I hope not. It's something I suffer with both due to a deteriorative spinal condition and several nasty falls on stairs. I do hope you recover quickly ?.

???? for all of you who are feeling down in these strange times, Greyduster, Susan and harrigran .

What are these big companies playing at Marydoll! They often seem to be the ones who provide laughable (if it was not so bl..Dy annoying) service. Glad you gave them an earful ?.

No particular plans today, except my usual group quiz.

Be kind to yourselves everyone ❤️

Good afternoon all! Bit late to the morning thread! I did do my cycle ride this morning Newquay. Dry here although I do cycle in the rain if not too heavy. I left at 7.15 and it takes one and a half hours to cycle the 20 miles around Bassenthwaite. I have been doing it every day for several weeks now and I love it! I must be getting a bit fitter.

Listening to the news. Nicola is moving into phase two. ‘Marydoll’ take care until you have been to the hospital❤️

Good afternoon, one and all.
Hi Annie, bless you for remembering!

Had to go for a mammogram this morning, and was not looking forward to it at all. I had thought the car park would be less crowded, but no such luck. DH left me at the entrance and went to search for a space. I was seen quickly and able to phone for DH to pick me up. Luckily after a couple of turns round the car park, he was able to get a space. The only trouble was, the spaces are now so narrow, that once he was parked, he couldn't open the door wide enough to get out to pay; and he is the slimmer one! So he just sat tight.

Still gently raining here, and looks set for the rest of the day. To keep occupied, I am crocheting a case for my phone.

Enjoy the rest of the day, one and all.
