Good Morning Everyone,
its dry but cloudy here in Brackley this morning .
An easy day today , small shop as Waitrose are open at 730 today.
And then at 1100 I have a eye appointment at opticians as to annual glaucoma , it will be interesting to see how much the face mask plays in it as to wearing during the eye check .
Take Care ,
Mick

Good morning from E Kent.although sunny, we’re getting no more than 19C today. It’s still cold for July, being only 11C at the moment?
Mick, sounds like your eye check will be interesting.
Just supermarket today. A friend has organised a book exchange on her drive, because the library is still closed. I’ll probably go this afternoon.
Marydoll, I trust your side-effects were tolerable. flowers
Have a gentle day, be kind to yourselves those with any sort of difficulty. Stay safe.

Morning All

The clouds are clearing as the sun gets up here in the north of Norfolk, hopefully heralding a lovely day.

DH is still asleep. DGS is still asleep. DGDog who woke me just after four is now asleep. I've been up since I gave in on any chance of further slumber just after five. I think it must be excitement - this morning I'm getting my hair cut!?

I hope you're not suffering too much Marydoll and I read just before bedtime last night the wonderful news that it's all systems go for Mr Gillybob! ???

grandMattie Wed 29-Jul-20 06:57:45

Where’s everyone? Pant you usually come at about the same time as me. Chamber pot not available? ?

Good morning from east London, clear sky and sun outside, but not very warm for now. Up and moving early as our 9.30 tennis session has been brought forward to 8.30 as the club is busy with summer schools. It’s good to see it busy, just hope there’s some money coming in to help pay for our new dome this winter. Have to do some packing later as we’re off to Dymchurch tomorrow and there’s GD1 to collect as she’s staying over before coming with us tomorrow. And there’s zoom choir tonight.
Hope you have a good day.

Good morning from a bright and sunny Essex by the sea . I think this is the start of a few days of very warm weather.
DH's eldest daughter is 40 today so we will pop in later to wish her happy birthday. She is having a gathering in the park on Saturday so that we can all space out and the children can run around.
Not much else going on at the moment.
Have a lovely day and stay safe everyone xx

Good morning everyone from a dry and cloudy Inverness. It stayed dry most of yesterday and DD2 and I took the DGC to the local beach and play park. It was quite windy but we all enjoyed ourselves and we rounded the day off with a lovely late lunch at a local farm cafe. DD2 has been feeling a bit stressed lately so I hope that helped a little bit!
No plans yet for today so hopefully I’ll be able to get in the garden for a while if it stays dry.
I hope everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care whatever the day brings ?

Morning Mick and All.

A cloudy day in South Bucks before the very hot weather hits us.

Starting to prepare for the invasion of the DGSs getting in enough food to feed a battalion. ?

Hope you are coping Mary with the new regime. ?

Good Morning to you all, from a dry, bright, warm Cambs.,

This is very early, (for me!), we have roofing company coming here to replace our guttering, starting today.
Everything seems to be happening at once, we need to go to our little "home-from-home" at the Norfolk coast tonight as the gas (LPG) delivery is tomorrow.

Mick, I hope your eye check goes OK. DH has glaucoma, his check-up has been delayed due to this awful pandemic.
I know it's important to keep "an eye"! on the glaucoma condition. "All the Best".

Gillybob, thinking of you & your DH at this worrying time. look after yourselves & take care.

Hoping that the side-effects are not so severe this time Marydoll, sending best wishes to you.

I'll try to come back to this friendly thread, but we have no internet "in the wash".

flowers, to all who need them.

Take Care Folks.

Good morning Mick and all x

Oh Mick I envy you going to Waitrose I haven’t been into a big supermarket since beginning of February!

Blue sky here in S E Essex I am going to the gym again this morning, getting back to my pre lockdown routine. I was impressed with all the measures they had put in when I went in Monday.

Thinking of Marydoll and all other Goodmorningers who are poorly or troubled ?

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️

Urmstongran Wed 29-Jul-20 07:22:29

Sun’s up here! ?
Good morning everyone from Malaga ? where I need the sunglasses - I over indulged with the wine yesterday! The complimentary tapas was a delight. Maria Carmen did us proud ... Tiny slices of crusty bread topped with a spicy spinach mixture and a quarter wedge of hard boiled quail’s egg - so pretty, dainty and tasty. Another round of drinks brought us a tiny pork patty on bread topped with a fried quail’s egg. Another round brought a palm sized dish of shredded chicken in an oniony sauce. A further round brought ... you get the picture. Ooh, my heed! Oh well, we had fun and it was worth it.

Off to the beach later. (Good, I’ll close my eyes on the sun lounger!).

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

Good morning from a slightly overcast North Leicestershire.

I'm having a pootling and faffing morning today and DH is going for his first post lockdown gym session.

If he survives that we are going to Derby to see DD1, DSiL and 2 DGC so I suppose I'd better do some baking.

Hoping MaryDoll is ok and that it is all systems go for MrGillybob.

Pantglas2 Wed 29-Jul-20 07:33:20

Ooh ? I’m late aren’t I grandMattie what an orrible night! Up for an hour at 2am doing x-words as I just couldn’t settle - no doubt there’ll be a siesta this afternoon to compensate!

Wonderful news about your DH op Gillybob- we need that order to come through as second piece of good luck and then await the third?

Happy birthday to your DD Sar53 - mine will be 40 next and I don’t see how that happened.....she was a baby not long ago!

Hope everyone has a good news/weather/happenings day - now for my chamberpot ☕️

Marydoll Wed 29-Jul-20 07:33:24

Good morning Mick and all from a cool and breezy Glasgow. A good drying day for the washing. We are nearly into August and we have had no proper summer weather.☹️

I have nothing planned for today, feeling a bit yukky, but not as bad as the last time. The hacking cough is back again and it's exhausting. I can't go out, because people think the coughing must mean I must have Covid. ?

Yesterday was a bit stressful. My daughter phoned asking if I had her wedding earrings, I searched high and low, as I couldn't find them in the wedding box.
Then her fiancè messaged, asking if he could collect the necklace, he was giving her for a wedding gift. I couldn't find it either. The new medication causes a bit of brain fog and I couldn't think straight at all.
Usually, I'm a really organised person, with everything in it's place, so I couldn't understand it. I was in tears and panicking, convinced that this yet was another wedding disaster.
Future SIL messaged to say, he had checked back his messages and necklace was in my safe. I checked and indeed it was!!!
It wasn't there earlier, I can assure you!
I then looked again in the display unit in the lounge and there were the earrings, sitting there in full sight. Someone must have hidden them there to make me think I was going mad!!!?
Things got worse, when I thought I had better check that the wedding rings were still in DH's. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't open it. Full blown panic attack. I was going to be the cause of a massive wedding day failure.( When it eventually happens!).
I decided not to tell DH when he returned from his golf, that his safe wouldn't open. With an air of innocence, I asked him to check the rings, it opened immediately.

I have lost the plot, that is, if I have ever had the plot in the first place!!! ??

I may potter in the garden today, days and days of rain have caused the weeds to sprout at an alarming rate.

Wishing all those who are struggling some peace in their lives and despite from their anxieties.
Have a good day all.

Morning Mick, morning all. Mix of sun and light cloud in our corner of Somerset. Off over the bridge to try to help a poorly friend. Hard with the restrictions in Wales, not sure what will be possible, can only try. Plotting our route via open toilets, serious faff. Hope the side effects are tolerable marydoll. Be gentle with yourselves everyone

Pittcity Wed 29-Jul-20 07:36:46

Good morning from cloudy Colchester. The Essex sun hasn't got this far North.
I have an appointment with my dentist and hygienist this morning, so will be missing coffee in the park. Looking forward to an uncrowded waiting room.
I might even walk through the town centre as I've only skirted the edges recently.

Marydoll Wed 29-Jul-20 07:36:51

I meant to say, so glad to hear Mr Gillybob's op is going ahead. It's been a very long wait.

Urmstongran Wed 29-Jul-20 07:37:27

His and hers safes Marydoll? My that’s right posh!
?

Susan56 Wed 29-Jul-20 07:38:27

cornergran Wed 29-Jul-20 07:38:47

Brain fog is foul marydoll, having lived with it for over 20 years I’ve learned the more you worry the worse it will be. It will fade and normal service will be resumed, promise. flowers.

Pantglas2 Wed 29-Jul-20 07:39:27

Here’s my Spanish chamberpot, I have an even bigger one in Wales!

Well done Urmstongran spending ‘The Bar Stewards’ money....they’re making us wait long enough for it!

Rufus2 Wed 29-Jul-20 07:40:03

I'm having a pootling and faffing morning today
G'Day Kitty! Enjoy it, whatever that means! smile
Does that mean you've mastered "linking," or is that still on your "to do" list!?
Good Health

Grandmabatty Wed 29-Jul-20 07:47:05

Good morning All. It's bright and sunny here in Polmont. I have to get moving as I'm meeting a friend for coffee this morning, then a video chat with friends this afternoon then my oldest friend and her partner are coming for dinner. I still haven't decided what we will eat! Have a good day all.

Urmstongran Wed 29-Jul-20 07:48:11

Pantglas as a fellow WASPI I totally agree!
?
It’s always that last extra glass though isn’t it? The one for the road ...

grannysyb Wed 29-Jul-20 07:52:01

Good morning all, bright and sunny here. Tidying up paperwork this morning, cleaner coming at 12.30, hooray! Hope to go to allotment this afternoon, no doubt there will be more beans and courgettes! Hoe Marydolls brain fog recedes, and that everyone has a good day.
