Grammaretto - thanks .
Good day from the Scottish Borders where it was raining but stopped.
St Swithin!!
My yarn group came for coffee and scones in the garden and we dodged the midges. We are used to distancing around here and being covered up. 'Tis nothing new.
No-one went indoors though I told them I had read the instructions for the loo!
DH has a continual cough too Marydoll. It seems to be worse as soon as he starts to speak. He's had it since last year.
I don't know whether to feel more sorry for him or for me.
That's a pity about the situation in Blackburn froglady
Hope you get some good news soon. Gilly
Happy Anniversary Nannytopsy
Ellan, I'm sure you find it comforting that the carer is actually going to such an effort for your GD.
It has been such a difficult time for you all.
I hope now that she is receiving professional help, she can start to make progress and life will hopefully become less challenging for her and your family. ?
Ellan - that is such a thoughtful gesture on behalf of the Carer/place your GD is currently placed at. We hear a lot about bad Carers and bad Children’s Centres and it’s really heartwarming to hear something like that.
I hope it brings much happiness to you all. You deserve some, ?
P.S I was right about the child's carer bringing her to D's on Sunday for her birthday. Carer will be there too to join in with the celebrations and eats for a couple of hours before they head back. How's that for service ? We can't get over it.
I'll have to stay put, here so I'll just go mad and eat coke, as my mum used to say or tear paper.
Bit late for me to say good morning? but had a lazy day so far, a nice change for me.A sunny day here, so some will do some gardening after lunch.
Discovered two Amazon parcels in the porch ( they don’t even seem to ring the bell anymore.)
Good morning from Durham - dry, but overcast. Thank you for your good wishes yesterday Grandmafrench. Another session completed, but this is a new treatment, recently approved by NICE., so another 12 to go. Tests will be done in September to see if there’s any improvement - treatment will continue if the condition remains static, but not if it’s worsened. Getting over 3 bouts of Sepsis is still causing physical and mental problems, all a ‘work in progress’.
Hope Gillybob gets some work soon - curious what ‘product’ she supplies?
Thread yesterday about being at a loose end? That’s me today - my get up and go has left the building! Prescription to collect from pharmacy then should ring the Bodyshop to get an estimate for repairs to my car (reversed into wall) but it could end up an insurance job anyway! Hardly spent anything since lockdown, other than food and drink so the money’s there to use.
Hope everyone has the best day they can. X
Gwen my cough is a recognised side effect of medication. Nothing sinister.
Good Morning from Drizzly Harrogate
Have very little in the way of plans for today, although there is no telling whether a grandchild will turn up. Might start making masks!!
Marydoll, what is the cause of your cough? I had a similar cough for about 5 years, and 5 years ago it was discovered I had TB!! I've been cured, now DH has the cough and has had every test, but cause can't be found!
Morning everyone, from a damp NE. Gelisajams, I am really jealous of you going to Shetland Isle. I went on holiday when I was 14 with my Aunt, to see my Uncle who was working there at the time. It is a beautiful place, we flew there, but had to come back on the boat because of the weather. I would really love to go again. Marydoll hope you are feel better, and hopefully Gillbob gets an order soon. Hope everyone else stays safe and well.
Good morning Mick and the GM team from a grey east London.
I had a good telephone consultation with my GP yesterday and a further adjustment to my meds meant I had a much better evening.
I will have a walk later, clean the bathroom and loos (exciting) and then we’ll have an easy supper.
Sending positive thoughts to gillybob for the order.
Sorry to hear things are difficult for Marydoll
Congratulations to nannytopsy on your anniversary.
Good morning to Bluesapphire, if she’s reading.
Have a lovely day, all and the usual ?to those who need them. ?
Good morning from North Cornwall where the sun is doing quite a good job of trying to shine. Am feeling sad and glad - my daughter and SIL and two of my grandchildren have moved to live thousands of miles away. Its what they want, so glad for them - but sad for me. I know life is always changing, so will live with this ok in spite of missing them. I'll go for a walk soon - always lifts my feelings.
Happy anniversary Mr&MrsTopsy. I suspect I know where you are going so please give the place my love!
Morning all from a damp South Notts. Not much to report, very little going on. My visitor called off yesterday due to ill health but should be slowly on the mend.
Am keeping busy with my usual projects.
Hope all is well with everyone, especially those with illness or worries.
Morning everyone. Was raining earlier stopped for the moment. Was hoping to meet my sisters for a coffee outside but l won't be going as l was on the loo at 2 30 this morning. Terrible stomach pains again. My ibs/diverticulitis playing up. Hope everyone has a good day.
Morning all,
Yet another grey, damp morning. So much for Summer!
A trip to the local butcher today and some ironing when I get back. A what's app call with my SiL's tonight. Not the same as physical visits, but better than nothing.
Hope that the saying about St Swithins day proves to be just that as it's raining again now. I don't fancy another 40 days of this!
My hairdresser is still not open so not sure what to do, whether to hold on a bit longer or try somewhere else. Whatever I decide, there will no doubt be a wait for an appointment.
To those of you celebrating today, enjoy your day and the plans you have. ???
Fingers crossed, gillybob that something positive comes from all your hard work very soon and that your prospective customer doesn't just use you and then go elsewhere. Some people have no scruples do they?
Hope that cough soon eases, marydoll and that you soon start to feel more like yourself. Take care.?
To all with troubles, illness and woes, I hope today brings you some comfort. ?
Good Morning to you all from an overcast, but dry Cambs.,
Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Nannytopsy on your anniversary, hope you have a good day. .
Good wishes to all you lovely, kind people on this thread.
Take Care Folks.
Woke to an email at 7 to say my clematis was being delivered between 7.53 and8.53. It arrived at 7.54 precisely! Cheery young man. Looking forward to it flowering in the autumn.
Bit of a shock to the system here in Blackburn as we're having to start wearing cloth face coverings from today. We're had 61 new cases over the past week so the local council decided that measures had to put in place now, instead of waiting until next Friday. If, after 2 weeks, the rates continue to rise, then they're going to look at reversing the national lockdown easing of restrictions.
It's very worrying and hopefully everybody will be following the rules, or am I being a complete optimist?
Good morning all from overcast Devon, less windy which is a bonus. More light housework & tidying up as I've come to a halt with my decorating.
Maybe manage some time in the garden his afternoon if the sun comes out. Football tonight, typically there are two games I want to watch on at the same time & I don't particularly like football on tv but it's rare to be able to watch my team. Easy Dinner planned.
Good morning from an overcast north of Scotland. It is looking very grey. I went to a garden centre yesterday. The cafe was very busy. I didn’t go in. It was very busy and everyone had a mask round their neck. Not quite the point. I felt nervous. Off to tidy the spare room/dumping ground as hopefully my family might be able to visit soon. Something to look forward to. Have the best day you can.
Good morning from an overcast NE.
Need to make final decisions on supermarket order, best do it when I am not hungry otherwise I will go overboard.
DH asked if I wanted to go to a restaurant this weekend, I declined so he ordered lobster and Chateaubriand from a well known restaurant chain home delivery. Our wine cellar is pretty good so I look forward to the weekend.
Another indoor day by the looks of it, never mind I have a Jeffrey Archer to finish.
Fingers crossed gillybob.
Hello Aldom.
It’s always lovely to see the children at school, and this is a momentous day for your GS.
Bet you get a lump in your throat and a tear in your eye.
He’s growing up ?
Good Morning everyone and a happy outcome for St Swithuns ☀️⛈?? ?
That’s a lovely thing you’ve planned for today, Mick
Sunny blue and just a bit cooler here. Went to bed exhausted after a marathon Ironathon. All up to date and put away now with a silent promise that I won’t ever let it get out of hand again. It arrives at a stage when it actually makes me miserable or cross, but then will I just get on and do it? Madness.
So, spurred on by my new discipline, I am going to empty some cupboards. No excuse now we have unlimited access to The Dump and the recycling containers for clothing are back in use. Wish we had the UK’s Charity shops here.
Today might just be the day when my new specs arrive ? from England. The lenses were made and delivered to my Optician in 24 hours. It took 3 days for him to receive my prescription and frames from France. He put in the new lenses and posted my glasses to me on the same day......last Friday. So, where are they? Oh, of course, Bastille Day.... I’m obviously just getting far too excited!
Happy Anniversary to The NannyTopsies enjoy your trip to the coast and the authentic Fish & Chip supper! Lovely.
Can’t say much about how disappointing life can be sometimes...when you give it your all, gilly. But quite a lot of it is in the hands of fate, or what you will. So don’t make yourself ill worrying and trying to achieve the impossible. It may just happen, you’ve done all you can, so try to focus on the good bits - away from that place! All the virtual gang on here couldn’t wish any harder for you, hope that helps a little when you feel down.
Hang on to your sense of fun, Marydoll - it’ll be there somewhere, half submerged in medication, irritation and a rotten cough. Sit quietly and plot some mischief! ? Feel better soon!
Thanks so much for the update, Ellan - especially when you’re probably sick of thinking about it all. Your little family seem to finally be on the radar....that’s a positive. You have names and contacts for treatment plans. May everything start to improve now - however slowly.
To all Grans, happy or sad, fit or unwell, have the best most positive day you can. Gelisajams have a lot of fun and benefit from the air. Georgesgran so much luck and good wishes from me for your DH’s treatment.
Hang in there everybody. Embrace The Masks ? and above all take care and stay safe.
Hugs from ??????
