Good Morning Thursday

Morning all from a dry but dull north Wales where I’m still lolling abed......slept like a top so obviously nicked some of Marydoll’s!

Congrats to Greyduster and Benjamina - have a lovely day?? and hope all goes well with the op Gillgran and he’s back with you ASAP properly mended!

Out to DD for a curry this evening, SIL is a good cook and will take my mango chutney and some Kingfisher beers and hop on a bus home - bemasked of course!

Stay safe everyone x

Good morning Mick and All from Worcs. Bright and dry at the minute but rain coming later according to forecast.

Happy Birthday to you Benjamina ? ?
Happy Anniversary Mr & Mrs Greyduster ? ?

Marydoll I’m sending you 2 fairies with magic wands, 1 to do your jobs so that you can rest, and 1 to get rid of your feelings of extreme ‘Yukkiness’ . ??‍♀️ ?‍♂️ Better days must come.

Harrigran - 1 Fairy for you as well, even the simplest things are impossible without the full use of your hands. ??‍♀️

Oopsadaisy Sooo very happy that your tests were negative. You can let out the breath you’ve been holding, awaiting result. ?

Have the best day you can everyone. Must leave the thread now my grocery delivery could be here in 5 mins and I’m not dressed , EEK! ?

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning mick and all x , a haircut will make you feel good mick take care on your bus journeys.

Blue sky and blustery here in S E Essex with rain and storms forecast for this afternoon approximately at the time I am going to have tea and cake in my friends garden, best find the umbrella and raincoat ?

Happy Birthday benjamina ?? Happy Anniversary The Greydusters ??

We managed to go to a garden centre yesterday, there was only us and two other couples. It was so lovely to mooch round the gift shop and then wander round the plants, we bought some herbs and veggies along with a beautifully fragrant lavender bush, which is now on a planter beside my lounger.

I have to put away the rest of our food delivery this morning, as I only dealt with the fridge bits yesterday, the rest is sitting in the garage!!!

Sar53 how exciting for you both, the next chapter in your lives now begins.

Marydoll rest, rest and more rest........the housework and clearing out your craft room can wait, it's time to be kind to yourself.

Urmstongran don't overdo the housework, the more you dust the more dust appears ??

cherrycezzy , BlueSaphire take care.

Keep safe folks ?

Is Ellanvannin back? Have I missed something?

Oops meant to add. Still thinking about our friend BlueSapphire and CrazyH’s grandson . Hoping for some good news very soon.

A late good morning check in here from the NE coast where we have yet another miserable, damp and grey day.

I’ve been awake most of the night but must’ve fell fast asleep around 5.30 Woke up with a huge start at 7.30 and now dashing around like a mad thing to get to “that place” for just after 9am.

I could quite easily get back into bed as I’m shattered and the pains in my legs are driving me bonkers but It’s wages, pensions and all that exciting stuff today so I will have to get a shake on .

Just want to wish the Greydusters a very Happy Wedding Anniversary. 54 years is some achievement . Well done . I hope you both have a lovely day ?

Happy Birthday to Benjamina I hope you enjoy your day.

To CherryCezzy we’ve missed you . Good to see you back. I’m so sorry that you are not feeling so good right now.

Marydoll do try and take it easy. You’re not superwoman you know and Harri I think relaxing and Netflix is the best idea for you today . Sorry to hear you’re in a lot of pain .

To all my lovely Gransnet friends. I hope you have the best Thursday possible and we all get to see some very soon . Must Dash. Love Gillybob xx

Hi gillgran. Before you dash off, just wanted to say everything crossed for your DH today. Hope he makes an uncomplicated recovery and problems will soon be behind him. Look after yourself, too. And don’t stress ??

Good Morning to you all from a bright, sunny Cambs.,

It will be good to look forward to getting a hair cut, Mick.
My hairdresser rang yesterday to say she is taking appointments from next week, I've had to put mine on hold,(although it's badly in need), as DH is in hospital today for long awaited operation, so dare not risk it.

Marydoll, & Cherrycezzy, Take care, hope you soon feel better.

Happy birthday, Benjamina.

Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Greyduster, on your anniversary. medals all round!

EllanVannin, good to 'see' you back.

to you all.

Take Care Folks.

Good morning from a grey, damp NE.
DH was up very early as he is driving to the next city for a blood test, our GP surgery is incapable of arranging and carrying out simple procedures at present.
Happy Anniversary to the Greydusters, enjoy your day.
Happy Birthday to benjamina ?
I think we have another supermarket delivery today, we really do not need anything but DH will store it.
I am fit for nothing today, pain in left hand is bad, can't grip anything and walked into the door frame the other night and now bruised and hobbling too.
Need to do paperwork today unless of course I find something more interesting on Netflix.

Good Morning and it's nice and bright here in Fife much better than yesterday with all the rain so hopeful of a walk later.
My cleaning girl complete with PPE came yesterday so we went out and left her to it, lovely to come back to a sparkling house and she's so pleased to be back working as she's self employed.
Carpet fitter arriving this morning to fit new hall carpet good to be getting some normality back.
Enjoy your day everyone ?

Good morning Mick and everyone from a chilly, grey Oxfordshire, all of our Covid tests came back negative, DD is distressed as she has been doing our shopping for us, apart from our odd delivery and click and collect and actually came indoors a couple of weeks ago on a wet day. The only person we have seen at home since March.
She is upset that we all became ill just after her, so she is determined now to only go out If essential, with a mask on, thankfully deliveries and click and collects are easier to get now. But maybe I didn’t leave the shopping in a corner Or the fridge for long enough before using.
A lesson learned though as whatever we had it wasn’t very pleasant and must have come from somewhere.
So another easy day here. I have just received, in the post, some semi permanent hair dye, so that if it looks worse then my roots do, at least it will wash out, we shall see .......Good luck with your day Mick.
Hope everyone has a good day, stay safe and wash those hands.

Good morning Mick and all his followers from sunny Suffolk although rain is due later.
Congratulations to the Greydusters and benjamina. for Marydoll & Cherry.
DD and SiL are coming to see us next week, so yesterday we drew up a list of jobs to be done before they arrive. We have to be clean and tidy (even in the garden!) when we can finally have visitors!
Best get up and get moving! Be kind to yourselves.

Sorry folks. Goodness knows what’s happened to the rest of my post. Oh well, have a good day all. ?

Good morning from Leicestershire. We had sun earlier but seems to have gone.

Walked far too far yesterday so feeling the effects.
Zooming with some friends this morning and setting up a meeting with my Dutch friends.

Good to see you back Cherry and sorry to hear you and Mary are feeling rough.
Happy Anniversary Greyduster and Happy Birthday Benjamina.

Good morning all. Sunny and calm here on the Suffolk coast.

I too have managed to book a hair appointment for 15th July. I was going to grow it and go white, but it’s driving me mad, so will go back to how it was in March.

Hope you have a painfree day Marydoll . Have a nap this afternoon.

Happy anniversary Greyduster . Have a wonderful day, doing what you like best.

Keep cool Urminston. ?

Glad you had a lovely time with your little Gs Scentia. Making memories and having fun together ♥️

We set out yesterday to walk to our local deserted common. A beautiful huge area, where no one goes. In the distance I saw a large creature. There was no one else around, no owner if it was a dog. My DH said it was a Fox, but it was too big and solid. I was worried for our little pooch, so we turned round and came home. I am reading a spooky sci fi book at the moment so perhaps I was on high alert and my imaginati

Day 2 of retirement eh Sar53? Hope you both have a long and happy one ahead of you.

Sorry to hear the new treatment isn’t (yet) quite the silver bullet you were hoping for Marydoll. Still, it’s early days and with a little luck and a good push you’ll see some improvement soon.

Happy Birthday to you benjamina! It’s lovely to have you join the gang. x

Forgot to wish Mr & Mrs Greyduster Happy Anniversary.

Good morning Mick, Annie and all. It is dry here in Berks, at the moment.
Yesterday I decided to wash all the towels, got them on the line, then it rained didn't it? so they all got dried indoors.
Sorry to hear about your disturbed night Marydoll, hope you have a gentle relaxing day.
It must be flan/quiche time. I made a large quiche yesterday. Onion, peppers, ham, cheese and eggs. Tasty.
We had some for supper, and there was enough to freeze for another time.
Like everyone, my hair is in need of a cut, and thankfully I have an appointment booked for next Thursday.
I am off to see the Dr, so had better get myself organised.
Have a good day one and all.

Good Morning Mick and all. A cloudy start here on the S Welsh coast. A Happy Anniversary Mr and Mrs Greyduster have a lovely day ??. Happy Birthday to you benjamina ?. Take care out and about Mick and take it easy today Marydoll I sympathise, I'm married to a snorer. I have a telephone appointment with my Consultant this morning.
Stay safe everyone.

Good morning from a bright and sunny Essex by the sea. Lovely now but I believe rain is forecast for later.
Busy day yesterday. We had my car cleaned on the way to pick up our new car, then at lunchtime we took my car to We Buy any ....... and sold it. The money was in my account by the time we arrived home, great service ??.
Food shopping this morning. Not much else planned today.
Congratulations Greyduster, enjoy your day ??.
Have a pleasant day and stay safe everyone xx

Good morning everyone from the Gower.
I haven't posted for a few days as I've had the most horrendous time (17 dratted seizures) and to be honest I'm still not feeling too good; maybe more in the pipeline.

Happy belated birthday for yesterday Bellasnana?, glad you had a lovely day.

I understand that we have a new poster who has a birthday today. Welcome to GN and happy birthday benjamina ??

Happy anniversary Mr and Mrs Greyduster, have a wonderful day today ??

Don't forget to ?whilst you mop and clean Urmstongran ?

As others have said Mick, be careful on those buses and when you are out and about. Glad you have managed to get an appointment to get your hair cut. My hair needs shearing ? ?

Oh Marydoll I'm really sorry to hear that you are still struggling and are having side effects after your treatment. Please, pretty please (with bells on if necessary) rest a little ?.

Nothing planned for today, which is just as well as I'm pretty worn out ?. Hey ho, that's how it goes ?

Morning all from a dry but cloudy North Leicestershire. We have plans to meet DS1 for picnic in a park at lunchtime but there is rain in the forecast.

My Carer's course was stressful as I kept getting the circle of doom on my screen. We had a lovely afternoon catching up with DD1 and her 2.

Congratulations on your anniversary GD, I get your medal would ge just as large.

Enjoy your days everyone.

Good morning Mick and everyone from a grey morning in Cheshire. It's rained in the night but it's dry at the moment. Glad you're able to get back into the routine you enjoy Mick, but do take care.

Congratulations Greyduster. 54 years together is rather special and I'm sure you'll have a lovely day. I'm certain you deserve a medal too!

Marydoll you have the patience of a saint. Yes everything seems worse in the night, and you feel exhausted when the snorer gets up wide awake and bushy tailed.

My day is a walk in the woods, working and a Zoom meeting later. However, weather permitting a friend is coming to sit in the garden for a while this afternoon. She very kindly said she likes gardens that aren't too manicured! Take good care everyone.

Good morning everyone from Inverness, it’s dry but cloudy just now and could do with warming up a bit. We spent a lovely afternoon in DD2 garden yesterday, it was cold but it stayed dry. We took a blanket, they lit the chimenea and we sat round the fire until almost 9pm - the little ones loved it and a good time was had by all ?
Happy Anniversary greyduster and happy birthday benjamina hope you both have a lovely day ???
I messaged my hairdressers as soon as their opening date was announced and managed to get a hair appointment towards the end of July ! So happy ?‍♀️
Please take it easy marydoll and hope things improve a bit soon
Hope everyone enjoys today and stay safe whatever you are doing ?
