Good Morning Saturday

Oh Poor Hattie Dog. I’m happy to budge up.
I think I’m on the mend then keep taking a dip. Thumping headache.
Hope you’re on some antibiotics kitty by now? UTIs are horrid.

What a shame, feelingmyage - curl up with lots of hot drinks and your new book and feel better soon. (actually, only nutters like. me wash groceries!). Urms - ugh, I second that face of shock and horror!

Well your chap is allowed to forget his meds, Cherry, and so sad to hear of the loss of a friend. Maybe your WP should put reminders to order meds on his iPad calendar, or whatever. It's easy to get it wrong and forget......and it's the weekend, always the weekend. Same for you Mawb - can't even have 5 minutes to enjoy your new coatigan. Could Hattie have a better Nurse? She can't say you're not quick off the mark......get well very soon, little Hattie. Get well, everyone, in fact.

Hattie has asked if there is room for her on the poorly ward. She is really off colour today, wandering around, panting, looking uncomfortable (a lot of stretching of her back legs) and, worst of all, off her food ??? so I got her over to our lovely vet Michelle who treated her before and although her temp is not up, she agreed something is not right. So she took bloods, gave me some pain relief and I shall be keeping a careful eye on her over the weekend.
Why is it always the weekend?
I hope the other poorly peeps are getting the attention they need (a lot to be said for private medicine, even if the bill was £160!) and that everybody is on the mend. ?‍⚕️ ?‍⚕️

Hope you get some help on 111 kitty

MawB2 lovely coatigan, I am now going to browse Woolovers site ?

Urmston, what did you have to eat last night?
Hope you feel a bit better.

As that can be a symptom of Covid 19 maybe it would be wise to have a test

Oh no, CaroleAnne!
?

It is lovely Maw ☺️

If only it was that easy Grandmafrench ?, the pain killers have to be ordered by the pharmacist each time as they are not kept 'on site'. His own fault really as he didn't order them in time, he got a bit distracted by matters - one of his close friends died. Hopefully he won't be too bad ?.

Afternoon everyone from a sunny South Notts, bringing up the rear again. I have an excuse or two - I cleaned the oven after completing my usual mundane morning preparations - no-one's favourite job and then the ironing. I feel I must do these things first otherwise I'd still be on the laptop at lunchtime in my dressing gown and I can't allow that unless I'm ill.
Hope those in the sick bay get the chance to take it easy and get well soon.

It's lovely, Maw. Thank goodness it wasn't my pink one. There is 20% off sitewide on Woolovers, I believe today. I still can't justify it. I have far too many already.

georgesgran ?
Alegrias. Off to look and maybe buy.

Good morning - just. Very windy again and so I am freshening up rugs and sofa covers. A book has arrived that I meant to be for my kindle so I pressed the wrong button but I know my daughter will snaffle it when I eventually see her. I am full of the cold, sore ears and throat so will join the sick bay. But how did I catch a cold when I haven’t been nearer than about 12 feet to anyone? I don’t wash my groceries ....
Hope everyone has the best day they can and special thoughts to gillybob.

Cherry Cezzy as if I would!
No it was a more tweedy one from Woolovers - really meant for much cooler weather, so prepare for an Indian Summer!

Good Morning everyone from a hot, sunny and perfect ?? courtyard. I’m convinced another (large) family are using my laundry basket, since I’ve pegged out yet another load.

We seem to have some poorly people on here today. Get well again soon, but do this by being careful and kind to yourselves, please. Wishing hard for Georgesgrandad, fingers crossed for your further investigations. Get those drugs for him, Cherry - and hope the weekend isn’t too bad.

Mary people are always poorly at weekends because, speaking personally, that was when we had the time!

Hope you feel cheerful and more positive again pretty damn soon, Grandmabatty. Maybe the distraction of the little one will help.

Seems everyone has concerns about confusion and risk and constant changes...again and again. What a shambles. Well, we’re all grownups and what we’ve done before we can do again. Staying well and keeping safe is all that counts. (Plus a lot of smiling and self-mockery too?) .

DS phoned last night ‘for a catch up’. 4hrs 20 mins later we stopped catching up. We speak regularly - it was just one of those (lovely) calls.
So - unsurprisingly, I’m a bit croaky today. Speaking of which and Grammaretto’s frogs (see what I did there?) if you leave a tray of water unattended in our garden you just get Tiger mosquitoes. Maybe food for frogs ?- I love them too- but can’t risk it and we do have Government warnings about encouraging the mozzies! So, we have to check all containers for standing water. Not so much fun!

Hope you all have a positive day with a bit of fun thrown in. Shall watch the news for any attacks on ‘phone engineers, Ellan. Give ‘me hell and make sure you get the compensation for loss of service for so long.

Hugs to all who need one

Hello everyone from a sunny Fife, where its blowing a gale.

Been busy this week as my Zoom dance classes have started up with an hour every evening this week. Every part of me aches now Usually we have face to face classes but that's not going to get started again for a while, so we make do with what we can.

This morning I treated myself to some lovely things from the Perth Festival of Yarn website. That's me set up with projects for the next few months.

to those are are not so well today, hope you feel better soon.

I hope your DH's scan goes well tomorrow Georgesgran ?

Good morning from Durham. A bit windy, but quite mild.
DH is very apprehensive about his CT scan tomorrow morning. If it shows the current treatment isn’t working, it will be abandoned and other options are scarce now.

Hope you have the best day you can. X

Good morning Urmstrongran. I am sorry to hear that you are incapacitated re the runs.
As that can be a symptom of Covid 19 maybe it would be wise to have a test.
Hope that you will feel better soon

Good morning everyone from Gower. Guess what, it's grey again.

Hoping to have a good day today as this week has been hard. My WP hasn't got any of his pain killers (he has chronic pain) left though so it's not going to be the easy for him especially. At least there's the footie to look forward to . I love it but it does have a tendency to raise the blood pressure. It's good that Leeds Utd have made a return to the Premier League Jaxjacky.
I've used the last of last year's pears earlier that I poached and froze, just in time for the new harvest so will spend some time doing a new batch today.

Maw you didn't poach that pink coatigan from under Marydoll's nose did you? ?. Fortunately (or not ?) the heatwave will not last and you'll get plenty of wear out of it.

Get well soon kitty and Urmstongran ?

Hope all our missing posters are back with us soon. Sending each some ?.

Have the best Saturday you can all. Be kind to yourselves everyone ❤️

Good morning everyone! We got back yesterday from a few days away in Somerset (near Watchett) and had a great time eventually. The caravan we booked developed a boiler leak on Monday evening just after we had arrived and unpacked, water every where! The staff on site were really good, on it straight away and moved us to another caravan within 20 minutes. They upgraded us to the best type with a veranda, ensuite and right on the front line so perfect sea views. They also gave us vouchers for a meal so total win win! Even the weather was kind!
This was our last break as my treatment starts Monday and now with the rise in Covid numbers its just as well.
Hope everyone stays safe and best thoughts to all GMs suffering any health or other issues.

Good Morning All x.
Cloud and sun so far and it looks as though it rained during the night.
I zonked out as soon as my head hit the pillow last night after yesterdays 4am debacle of unplugging the lifeline device. So quiet without the phone not having rang since last Tuesday and I'm sure when the engineer calls on Monday he'll get an earful

We're teetering on the brink of a lockdown on the Wirral, so back to square one just when you thought that things were improving. Not everyone was going to obey the rules

I'll have to get some more peanuts for the squirrels as I'd been giving them raw cashew nuts----like giving a donkey strawberries, but the shop had run out of their usual peanuts. Nothing much else needed.

Sorry to learn of your " bug " Urmston, boiled water for you today madam, and try not to cough
Also Kitty's infection---plenty of water too with a squeeze of lemon in it. Hope you both get better soon.

Anyone else suffering, hope things improve----and yes, it always seems to be weekends !

Hoping you all enjoy the day, especially if you've got a drop of good weather. Usual thoughts to our friends who are absent for the time being
Enjoy the day whatever you all do.xx

Good morning from a beautiful sunny blue-skyed Angus. Many commiserations and ? to the poorly ones. I am usually 'good' with names, but I do struggle on here as I need faces to go with them! My tai chi friends and I managed to fit in a particularly lovely set between rain showers yesterday morning. It's so peaceful doing it and looking out across the water to the hills. And it acted like a sun dance too, as in the afternoon the skies cleared and the sun came out! A lazy day today wondering if a tai chi class is a social gathering - there has been no mention of the closing of gyms. I'm not really happy about going back at all. Watch this space. It's all so worrying again - it was so easy to be lulled into that false sense of security, I found. Anyway, time to stop whingeing. There are more plums to be harvested and a recipe for spiced plums to locate so that I can get freezing. Have the best day you can everyone. ???

Good morning from a sunny Poole, did a fair bi t of walking yesterday, lemon sole for dinner, ribeye for other half, very yum too. Off to find crazy golf in a few minutes, blow away the cobwebs. Football later, husband a Leeds fan, so, big game at 5:30 as new to the Prem.
Hope those with poorly tummies and yucky UTI get better over the weekend, those in sadder places find some relief x

Good morning from sunny Shropshire.

A quiet day planned after a hectic few days.

I too have been feeling down in the dumps with the new COVID restrictions and the rise in cases.Like you Maw I feel upset for my daughters and grandchildren, in fact for everyone as once again plans and activities are cancelled.

Anyway,back to today,will put on my big girls pants,count my many blessings and start planning autumn and winter activities if we are once more confined to barracks??

Have a good day all and sending ?to all with illness or worries.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Moggies ???
