Good Morning Tuesday

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Stressy start to the day for you dear gillybob let’s just hope it ends on a high.
?

Good morning Mick and all

Blue sky and warm here in S E Essex. We are waiting the arrival of the 6 month old and five year GSs as we are on Granny/Grandpa duty today. Dippy Eggs ordered for breakfast?

Take care Marydoll ,

Spangler the potholes in Kenya are like craters, not unusual to see cars being towed/pulled out of them!!!

My fingers are still crossed gillybob ?

Thinking of all absent posters ??

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️

I ❤️ Your posts EV I always especially look out for them.

Just to say Spangler isn’t in the USA he’s in the New Forest. The joke was about Montana’s roads.
??

I was supposed to get to “that place” early today but I haven’t even left the house yet. Waiting for a call back on DH’s mobile to sort the mess of 2 appointments at the same time in different towns .

Good Morning All x
April weather today with sun now and again and a strong breeze blowing, showers in between.

It's all or nothing here. Yesterday as the gas-check man was here checking everything and talking, the phone went and it was my brother and as we enjoyed our conversation there was a knock on the door and it was an expected parcel.
I couldn't believe that one minute it was all quiet then the next everything everything at once. Typical.
Like waiting for a bus and 3 come together

Windy last night and I could hear a gate banging, it's still at it so I'll do some inspecting when I go to the local shop. I could hear all kinds of bangs and knocks, such high winds in July !

At last I can finish hoovering today and actually put some polish on the furniture instead of flicking it with the duster. That'll keep me out of mischief. Not much else given this bleak weather.

Hope Marydoll doesn't feel too washed out today. What a performance to have to go through, just a waiting game now.

I noted that Spangler is near the Rocky Mountains in Montana ? How lovely. Not so lovely about the pot-holes though, must be the country terrain, poor car.

Thinking of Gilly and her long-standing problems, nearly a year of them with this bloomin' virus in between. Things have got to pick up surely ! x

Hope our absent friends are alright too.
Pantglas, Urmston,Grandmafrench and Bellasnana---please send some sun and warmth to the NW here I'm fed up of wearing jumpers.

Breakfast is calling now so stay well and safe everyone.xx

Good morning from a bright but very windy NE.
DH has a telephone consultation with his Oncologist today, that is mid afternoon so not going anywhere.
A successful chat with nice young man from the bank and sorted out several things yesterday afternoon. We have a call centre, for the bank, just down the road but the man I spoke to was sitting in Bournemouth at the other end of the country.
DD is on her way back to Belgium after spending her holiday with her aunt. She has helped her buy a smart phone and set it up so she is now in the 21st century with the rest of us.
Yesterday would have been their wedding anniversary, she said it helped to have company and she found a card that her DH had bought in advance.
I feel your frustration gilly, how hard is it to do testing in one centre rather than two ?

Good morning, sunny here which is good after yesterday's rain and chilliness. Making corgette soup, (glut at the allotment) then a walk with some of my upholstery group. Will be going to the allotment this afternoon to pick more courgettes and blackberries.

Good morning Michael and all GNs. The sun was shining when I got up but now it has changed its mind. We had a lot of rain yesterday but it dried up in the afternoon, so I dragged Himself out for a walk - during which, at the point of no return, we had a lot of rain again! DD and her menfolk are coming for a roast tomorrow, so shopping to do today, then three more rows to do on the dreaded cardigan and it will be finished! It sat in a bag for two years half done, so I suppose something useful has come out of lockdown!
Have a good safe day folks.

Enjoy your day Urms and your new state pension of course

That’s odd Urm. Our birthdays are a day apart and my first SP was on the 20th.

Enjoy your celebration ?????

Sun’s up here! ?
Good morning everyone from Malaga ? where it’s a gorgeous morning. The air is much fresher. Wasn’t it humid yesterday Pantglas down on the beach? I was melting when we got there.
?

Love the joke Spangler. My first giggle of the day. Be good if you could send your bill to the council. Marydoll glad you’re on the right side of things. I can feel your trepidation as it’s last chance saloon for this treatment. My witchy sense says it will go well. ?

Oh grandMattie what a rubbish start to your day ...
?

So Tuesday = Ladies Who Wine afternoon. Yay! I’ve asked on the Q.T. that Maria Carmen who owns the little bar to bring a bottle of cava in an ice bucket to the table with 4 flutes (and I will pick up the tab for our afternoon session) as it’s celebration day - my first State Pension payment goes into my bank account today! ???? I had planned to take us all out for a meal but I’m not keen on taxis yet and my lovely 85y old neighbour can’t walk far now in this summer heat. ❤️

Hope Tuesday is good to us all. Keep safe everyone that’s the main thing. x

Good morning from the NE coast where we have had very high winds all night . It’s a fairly bright start this morning but still very windy .

Still no order GrandMattie but I do have another conference call booked with my potential customer later today and we haven’t had a definite no, so there’s still a smidgen of hope .

But .......

My DH got a text message fairly last night inviting him to attend hospital today for a pre-op appointment . Then within a few minutes a second text arrived inviting him for a Covid test at a different hospital at the same time . There was a number to ring on each text (both different) but no answer when I tried ringing last night so I will be on it in very soon.

Typical of the NHS that the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing . We are worried that there finally might be a date for his operation and we haven’t had the letter ?

I watched the documentary-drama about the life that might’ve been “Anthony Walker” on BBC last night and can highly recommend it, but I cried buckets so you will need a hankie (well several in my case) .

I’m just getting ready to leave for “that place” a little earlier today as I need to get on to the hospital and probably rearrange my day and conference calls etc. Depending what they say. Ones things for sure we can’t be in 2 different hospitals in different towns at the same time .

I hope you begin to feel the benefits of your treatment very soon Marydoll . When my DH came out of hospital last time he had severe mouth ulcers (due to the cocktail of antibiotics he had been having) and they recommended rinsing his mouth out with pure pineapple juice . He said he thought it helped ? So maybe worth a try .

Thinking of all our missing friends dragonfly, BlueSapphire and CherryCezzy and hoping they will be back with us very soon .

Have the best Tuesday possible everyone . Love Gillybob xx

Morning All

Such a change from yesterday here in the north of Norfolk. The wind is now a gentle breeze and the sun is bright in a clear blue sky. I'm really pleased about that as DiL is dropping DGS off for a sleep over this morning and he's very lively so a trip to the newly re-opened park is on the cards. The first sleepover this year and he's very excited!

I do hope that your body gets used to your new treatment Marydoll and the side effects aren't as severe this time around.

Morning all haven’t posted for a while I’m back at work at the nursery numbers down but that always happens this time of the year. Pray for more children to come back. Should know bySeptember . New fridge ordered as old one gone for good. Looking forward to A bit of sunshine by Friday and some gardening . Hope everyone is ok.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where the rain has eventually stopped. Yesterday was a complete washout- the rain started just past 9am and I don’t think it stopped all day. I went into town to do a bit of shopping and then to DD2 house in the afternoon to play a few games with the DGC who were getting bored. Hopefully it’ll be a much better day today and we can all get outside a bit more!
Hoping everyone has the best day they can especially those with worries and struggles. Take care everyone whatever the day brings ?

Good Morning All. It's a beautiful blue skied, bright and breezy Polmont. It's my second day of babysitting today so I will be tired tonight. I hope he's okay after his spectacular dive out of the highchair last night. My DD was very upset and felt like the worst mum ever. I hope she's ok too. I have nothing much planned. A visit to the fish man first thing and playing with lots of cars is the order of the day. Have a good day all.

Good morning all from a sunny but chilly Suffolk coast. At least the wind has died down after yesterday.

Thank goodness you weren’t in Jessica Spangler.but sorry you hit a pothole at all. They’re everywhere aren’t they !

Marydoll I know what you mean about the tiny uniforms. My DG starts full time in September and although she will be the eldest, she’s the tiniest. DD had to order on line as the usual places only had ‘huge ‘ sizes.

DS1 and family arriving today with their huge dog. They’ll stay a few days so life will be fun and hectic. My little pooch won’t be too keen. She likes her own space . ?.

Have as pleasant a day as possible. ?

Morning Mick, morning All. Grey cloud over our corner of Somerset. Hair cut this morning, seems a complex process now. Some cleaning to finish and ironing to do. Mr C will mutter at his jigsaw, completion seems to have stalled. Would love to reclaim the table. Hope those side effects settle marydoll, stay hopeful. Be gentle with yourselves everyone.

Pant , do you take your chamber pot with you wherever you go? I do. Most mugs are piddling little things aren’t they?

Good morning from sunny Colchester. DH has gone fishing so I will get to mop the floors and know that they will stay clean for a while.
The weather feels fresher and the nights are drawing in. Your plans for hibernation sound just the ticket,Grandmattie

And a buen dia from sunny ?? ? where I’m enjoying the chamberpot ☕️while lolling ?!

I shall shift myself once I’ve finished reading your morning posts and do some yoga ?‍♀️ before sorting piles of washing after yesterday’s beach trip - sand gets everywhere doesn’t it!

Hope your treatment is sorted Marydoll- we need you back in Skool soon - you can see my spelling is atrocious without your lessons?!

Rabbit Stifado for dinner tonight- prepped on Sunday and nicely infused for serving with garlic mash and veggies- nom nom!

Stay safe everyone x

Phew!
That’s bad enough. ?
Cars can be money pits. Take care when out and about today.

Oh Spangler no! Not your lovely shiny car ! ??

Oh dear, I forgot that my post could be ambiguous. Definitely not the old MG, that's my retirement toy, it's our everyday VW Golf that will dent my wallet.

Good morning from a bright and sunny Essex by the sea. A very different day to yesterday when it was wet and windy.
I've had my hair cut and I feel so much better. Four months without a cut is a lot when you usually have very short hair.
Take care today Marydoll, I hope you start to feel better soon.
I will be making a tea loaf this morning and there is admin to do.
Have a lovely day everyone and stay safe xx
