Good Morning Wednesday

Good morning Mick and all on this thread on a lovely crisp September morning. I love this time of year as it is not yet time for that depressing slide into November and Winter.
Congratulations Auntieflo on a long and happy marriage ??. Something to be envied and admired as it isn’t always plain sailing is it?
Waved DD and DGS off back to London yesterday afternoon after a few days with me and promptly fell asleep for an hour! 5 months of no personal contact has taken its toll I fear as it is a big chunk of a 4 year old’s life and he was initially inclined to cling to Mummy. However I am sure that if we can manage more day visits or the odd overnight our old relationship will be restored. As they went I did shed a tear at the silence in the house.
Wishing you all well and a pleasant day.

Lovely bright day here, so I think I will go for a walk before I do some house work as my cleaner is away! Also need to do some sewing and buy food. Hope everyone stays well.

Good morning Mick, Annie and all.
I was thrown when I saw the other good morning post, but may be it isn't a he, could be a she?
It is our wedding anniversary today, 69 years, and we usually try to go away to celebrate. Not this year though, and our trips away for our birthdays have also been cancelled. No wonder I've been fed up to the back teeth this year!
At least the sun is shining, but it is definitely autumn now, with an early morning chill in the air. I did get some autum cyclamen from a local Freecycler, that cheered me up yesterday.
Aggie loved your pot pond, and relieved to hear that your GSon's results were clear GG13, what a relief.
I had a free afternoon yesterday, as the charity shop that I volunteer in, was closed unexpectedly. After worrying about what was wrong, I found out that our manageress had to dash off to visit a very poorly relative.
Have a good day one and all.

GG13 so glad the news is good. Such a worry for you all. Take care and best wishes xx

Good morning all from an autumnal feeling Essex. We are back for a few weeks for appointments and family and friends meet ups. Tomorrow I’m seeing my two oldest friends who I started school with aged 5. This year we have ‘celebrated’ our 70ths. We were going away together but , of course, couldn’t. So special to have friends who have gone through ‘life’ together. I love them dearly ♥️

GG13 sorry to hear your little GS is poorly but pleased it isn’t the virus. My GS aged 14 hasn’t felt well for a couple of days. It’s difficult to know whether it’s just a cold or something else. My DD found him googling his symptoms and he thinks it’s Covid. She’ll get him tested if he doesn’t perk up. I feel so sorry for the children worrying about this awful virus.

Sar I’m sure your GD will be fine once she’s settled in. You only need one or two likeminded pals to feel included in school life. Not easy for some though. My DG 3 starts secondary school also tomorrow. She feels excited but nervous I know. DIL has made sure she has seen friends during the holidays so hopefully all will be well. Girls , especially, worry about friendships.

My eldest GD popped in yesterday with all her news of starting Uni. I had started to wonder if the universities would open. But she has her accommodation and start times all sorted. They are staggering the arrivals and give each one 3 hours to get settled with 2 family members to help. I do hope it doesn’t cause spikes in the virus (which is highly likely, I think) ?

Oh dear , all these worries and concerns. It hasn’t been a good year all round for everyone.

Let’s all have as peaceful day as possible. ?

Welcome good news GG13 big relief for you.

Good morning All. It's a quiet, grey morning in Polmont. Yesterday was a lovely day with the whirlwind that is dgs. He ate non stop! I think he's going through a growth spurt. He's such a sunny, happy wee chap. His greatest delight at the moment is the be held up and he switches the lights on and off. Again and again. The look of joy on his wee face makes my heart leap. We went back to the park we discovered last week and had fun. Today I'll visit mum, then I'm dropping into my oldest friend's house for a coffee. This afternoon should be a WhatsApp chat with other friends. So a sociable day for me. I hope you all have a good day.

That's a relief GG13 ! My DD had the exact same dash on Monday when the 2yr old had a temp and was full of the cold after her first morning at playgroup. The results were through by text within 24hrs so she could send her older DD to school.

Morning Mick, morning All. Early sunshine has disappeared, clouds over our corner of Somerset. Slept well, so why am I still exhausted? Must get to the dust removal that passed me by yesterday. One of ours is in the same boat sar, first day today, such a worried soul. What a relief gg13, suspect there will be colds aplenty to worry families once all the children are back in school. Take care everyone, be gentle with yourselves.

Good morning from a dry Morecambe Bay where it is dry but the Met office have us on a yellow warning for rain today. I hope not because I need to do some outside housework.
Coming home from the funeral yesterday the engine warning light in our camper came on. A bit concerning as we were on the motorway. Don’t know what it’s playing at - we got home ok and it was running well. We are using the camper all the time for travelling at the moment as we have our own facilities. No doubt sorting it out will be expensive. Will ring our garage later.
DH has a blood test today ahead of his telephone appointment with the consultant next week. It’s only been 6 weeks since his last one, as that one was delayed because of the virus. The surgery was only carrying out urgent blood tests and didn’t consider DH’s test as urgent until the consultant’s secretary phoned to see why he hadn’t had it done. That test result was ok, so I’m not unduly worried. I get quite worked up when his blood tests are due.
Take care and stay safe everyone ?

Morning Mick and All.

Sunny day in South Bucks.

Preparing for a few days away in Somerset from tomorrow.

I like your pond Aggie.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Weather: nothing to write home about as the expression goes
We have an anxious DGD starting at High School tomorrow in England too Sar . Luckily one of her primary school friends is going to the same one and will call for her.
I think there'll be a lot of absences especially when the cold season begins.
Here we have the lass who cuts the grass coming and the lad who fixes the computer. But my lovely yarn group has had to stop meeting as it's too cold outdoors.
Have a good day Mick and all who follow.

Great relief, gg13. When it happened to our DGD, once diagnosed and the fear allayed, her cold went very quickly!

Xd posts GG13 what an anxious day you must all have had plus an upset 5y old. Great news however that the test was negative.

Good morning from sunny Colchester. Wednesday coffee meetup in the park this morning as the weather is fine. I can't see our group meetings carrying on over the winter as there are too many of us and the invitation is for anyone to drop in.

Sun’s up here! ?
Good morning everyone from Malaga where it’s definitely autumnal first thing in a morning now. It’s slightly damp. There’s a strong smell of pine from the trees (lovely) which is always more noticeable when the warmth of the sun rests on them.

The sky is a wash of pale pink against the blue of the Mediterranean. We shall be back down there next week now the vacations for the Spanish are over. That said it will be strange to see all the hotels closed. So many locals are worrying about work prospects, sometimes not for themselves as such but for family workers who do seasonal jobs.

Yesterday with my ladies was a hoot! There were 7 of us - all the others live out here permanently. 2 live up in the campo and said August was unbearable as it’s so much hotter than down here on the coast. I’d melt!

Gardens for us today. Just chill out.

Our daughter teaches and went back to full time work yesterday. Our grandson goes back to his school next Monday so he and his sister are with their lovely childminder. They love her and she them which is wonderful.

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

Crossed posts grannygravy great news and I hope DGS is feeling much better soon

Good morning everyone from a grey and quite windy Inverness. Yesterday was a lovely sunny day, I spent most of it weeding the garden as the weeds have been flourishing whilst I was away.
No plans yet for today, my local gym that was due to reopen this week has closed permanently so I’ll need to have a rethink about what to do. I’ve been doing some online dance and fitness classes which I quite enjoy, but I need something else to keep me busy!
Hoping all goes well for your DGD Sar53 and her anxiety eases, it’s such a big step starting secondary school
Fingers crossed the test is negative granygravy and your DGS feels much better soon
Hope everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care whatever the day brings ?

Phew, gg13

Crossed posts GrannyGravy.Great news?

Results took 16 hours, brilliant service.

Hope your DGS gets a negative test result GrannyGravy.Poor little thing,I thought children had a less invasive test.Really hope he’s ok.

Just had a call from DD and GS test is negative.....phew what a relief!

Good morning from Shropshire.

Hair cut and colour this morning so obviously rain is forecast?happens every time!This afternoon we are going to collect DGD for a sleepover, the last one before she starts school on Friday.

Our two and a half year old DGS starts nursery today?he had started going for two trial sessions a week before lockdown so I really hope he settles back in again.DD has been walking past the nursery with him and he waves and seems happy enough but today will be his first full day so??

I feel for your DGD Sar but am sure she will be ok.My elder daughter was always worried about making friends but always found a couple of similar girls and formed good friendships.

Have a good day all and?to all our absent posters.Hope you will all feel up to posting again soon.

Good morning Mick and all

Hoping for a better day today. Didn’t make Adventure Island with GS yesterday, he had been up all night coughing and very hot. DD rang 119 at 9 am got a 12noon drive through test slot in Southend and expecting results anytime now. We FaceTimed him as he was waiting in car and he looked so worried, FaceTimed immediately after and the poor lamb was so upset it’s rather invasive and frightening for a 5 yr old.

Do we are in limbo until the results come in as we spent time with them last week. I do hope it’s negative as he is desperate to get back to school, and I am worried for the rest of the family and us.

Keep safe and well folks, be careful ?‍♀️
