Good morning from the Scottish Borders. It's been raining again.
Lovely date for a birthday Sar hope you have a happy one.
I wouldn't be impressed Kalu by your friend's rash decision.
Maybe she's invoking the Cummings clause?
We enjoyed our weekly zoom quiz last night and are thinking of it as special about lockdown. Who would have thought we could see and chat with all our DC, siblings and their DC plus an old friend. It's party time every Saturday night.
I shall be thinking of Marydoll tomorrow .
Have a nice midsummer Sunday wherever you are. 
Good morning from a fair looking day in Manchester. Saw gs 1 and 2 in the garden yesterday. It does make things seem a bit more normal, seeing them laughing and happy. My 2 best friends went out shopping together in the same car yesterday. They asked if I wanted to go but said no. It doesn't seem right just yet. Then I sat at home feeling left out?. We've been checking out flights back to Spain for later in the year but haven't booked just yet. Urmston I might be needed that blue bikini back that you borrowed.?. Good luck Marydoll. Have a good day everyone ((( hugs))) for those who need one
for those with extra cares and worries or feeling under the weather.
Good morning all Mick from Glasgow. It is pouring here too Kalu, just down the road from you, but there is a glimmer of sun. The rain is the perfect excuse for not going out.
Wishing you a happy birthday you Sar, have a lovely day. ??
I was relieved when DH said it was too wet for our early morning walk, as I'm quite sore and fatigued today, but don't like to say, as he worries. I have plenty sewing alterations to do, which will keep me out of mischief.
In fact it's actually DH I am worried about. I came to bed last night, to find him sitting at the edge of the bed, doubled up in agony. He is the worst of patients and I couldn't get any sense out of him.
It turned out that he had an agonising pain in his side.
As you know I'm an expert on all things medical and within the space of a few minutes had diagnosed him as suffering from every serious condition known to man. 
and was about to call an ambulance.
Five minutes later, he was fast asleep and snoring, while I of course, lay awake worrying! 
. He is perfectly fine this morning, thank goodness.
I had an unexpectedly lovely afternoon yesterday. DD and her fiancé came up with my prescriptions, (the pharmacist asked if they had a suitcase to carry them 
) and stayed for an alfresco lunch, complete with social distancing and Christmas ??paper plates. (It was all I had).
A while later, DS2 and his fiancée appeared for an unexpected visit, complete with cream cakes and a pleasant afternoon was had by all in the sun.
I sat just inside the conservatory door and held court, like the queen. ??.
Later it dawned on me that they were checking in before my hospital visit, just in case!
They all left very abruptly. It turned out they all needed the loo, but had refused to use my toilet, for fear of compromising me!
They are stricter about my shielding than I am.
For the first time since lockdown began , virtual Mass is from my own parish. It will be strange watching, as usually I would be the one to open up the church and set everything up. I think those days may be over for me.
My thoughts are with Bluesapphire, who I know is still reading the thread. I hope to see you back posting soon and with anyone else who is struggling, including Brunette and her painful back, there are many. ?
I am touched by all those who have sent their best wishes for my hospital visit tomorrow.
I will be fine. Without meaning to sound dramatic, forty four years ago, I was newly married in intensive care and DH and my mother were told to prepare for the worst.
I'm still here, having a better track record than Lazarus, There have been so many scares, but I will be fine and sail through it , I'm sure!
If I'm OK, I will will post how I am later in the day.
Enjoy your day everyone. For those celebrating Father's day, enjoy. DH forgot, but I managed to cobble together some treats for him , courtesy of my lovely neighbours.
Good morning from a grey, breezy Colchester. Another quiet day here with roast pork tonight.
Happy Birthdaysar53 ? and all the best for tomorrow Marydoll
Good Morning from a wet Fife. At least DD and DGS's got their visit yesterday in the sun, so glad and just wonderful to see them. A day for the house I think - er what else is there to do I wonder . Will be thinking of you tomorrow Marydoll, good things come to those who wait and you certainly have. Hoping today goes well for everyone.
Good Morning All x
Not very promising weather-wise after a night of rain--again. Where does it all come from ?
I'd noticed the neighbour's washing still out last night when I fed the old stray cat, so that over I proceeded along the garden ( 10pm ) and gathered it all in as I'd felt a spot of rain.
The folded washing is now waiting for collection so she'll either phone or call me from the window. It was her son's funeral on Friday so she was either out or had gone to bed early.
Not the best of days for my GGC, as being Father's Day it's a sad one for them so I'm hoping that D takes her 3 charges out somewhere by way of a change. I'm sure she'll organise something for them.
Pork for dinner today----I do miss my mushy peas which I'd normally have soaked overnight but nobody has them locally and I keep forgetting to ask D to get me a couple of boxes. Anyway, it's broccoli instead.
The lovely Bottlebrush is flowering nicely and the red flowers look almost luminous against its green foliage. Also the climbing Jasmine, pretty, but there's no smell of it 
All good wishes for tomorrow Marydoll, we'll all be thinking of you.
Have a good day everyone and stay safe and well xx
Good morning from the NE coast on this Happy Fathers Day where unfortunately the weather is back to its usual grey,chilly, damp and miserable after our one one day of sunshine yesterday .
I have little Evie Button for a short shift today so was hoping the weather would be nice for her to play outside .
I managed to get a few bits done in the garden yesterday which was good then I ran a few errands for my dad and dropped them off for him . We enjoyed a socially distanced chat with him on his garden seat and me leaning against the wheelie bins . I will pop over and see him again later today but will have to get my timings right as his team (Newcastle United) are playing and he will be glued to the screen . Would hate to clash my visit with the football.
Hope today is kind to you and you have a lovely birthday Sars 
Do take It easy today Marydoll . We will all be thinking about you tomorrow.
Thinking of all those feeling down, upset or poorly and wishing for some very soon .
Have the best day possible everyone. Love Gillybob xx
Wishing you well for tomorrow Marydoll -we’ll all be thinking of you!
This will be you when you come home 
Hoping this isn’t too risqué for a Sunday morning. ?
