Good Morning Everyone,
Again a twilight start but its dry and windy usual shop this morning .
Do a few other things later , before settling down to watch the cycling on TV.
Take Care,
Mick

Good Morning from a bright & breezy Cambs.,

Sorry to hear your sad news Kitty, I'm thinking of you, take care.
Not a shock, for us, but, although expected, we were saddened yesterday to learn of the death of my DH's 95 year old uncle.

Tonight we are off to our little home-from-home on Norfolk coast for the weekend.

Take Care, Good Folks

Lovely day here as the sun is breaking through and it is warming up. My Tesco order arrived and I had forgotten milk. I am torn between black tea and using long life milk - neither are comforting. I live in a tourist hotspot and it is still very busy so I am avoiding the local supermarkets. Some of the family are planning to visit next month and I am so looking forward to their company. They will stay in the annex as they have front facing jobs and want to be careful. There will be a lot of coffee in the garden and if it is cold I’ll give them some tasks to keep them warm!
I called the surgery yesterday to ask for my very belated blood test to no avail. I wanted my thyroid levels checked as they have always said how important it is to be taking the correct dosage.
gillybob we miss you. Best wishes to all for the best day possible in spite of “everything”.

Hi all, well as an owl and not a lark I am posting rather late. Its a lovely morning here in Sidmouth. I am sorry to read the sad news from a few grans. I hope all those with health problems improve rapidly.
Talking of health problems I have been told that my nephew's wife has gone to Moscow for surgery. She will be there for a month. She is not Russian and nor is anyone in the family. Apparently she lost patience with the NHS after they failed to fix her broken ankle after 2 years of hobbling about in a boot. She believes that Russian medicine is superior to British medicine and is hoping for a miracle. Apparently she has a host of other issues as well. It is cheap to go there and stay in a hotel with food and get the surgery, only £1800 all in. Has anybody had any experience of Russian medicine?
Take care all and have a lovely day.

Good morning from a beautiful sunny day in Glasgow. I enjoyed a very busy day taking advantage of the good weather yesterday clearing an area in the garden which I have decided would be the perfect spot for the two adirondacks I have painted, oiled some wooden bits. Went to bed exhausted and slept for nine hours! I knew I would pay for it but I am so fed up of being restricted by my ailments and have upped my painkillers, hence the nine hours sleep but worth it to allow, if not physically, mentally, a sense of achievement.

Sorry to read your sad news kitty. A dreadful shock for your DD and SiL ?
Pleased to hear you are feeling better Grammaretto. Happy birthday to your GD??

We miss you gilly?

Best wishes for a pleasant day all, especially to our friends MIA just now.

Good Morning all from a sunny (I think) HARROGATE. Might be sunny but there is certainly a nip in the air. Not sure what I will get done today, still pretty nauseous from heavy duty antibiotics, but it seems to be working
Kitty, I'm so sorry for your loss.
Gilly I miss your posts, please come back!

Hope today is a good day for all

Another late good morning, I’ve been busy preparing for our local and very nice carpet and upholstery cleaner to work his magic on my carpet and living room furniture. I’ve decided that since it looks like a very, if not total, winter lockdown, I’ll try and create a cheerful nest for myself! Fresh paint and some new cushions and I hope that does the trick.
Sincere condolences to your family kittylester, such a loss with no time to prepare.
Your description of your early morning moment looking at the stars and listening to the birds Mellowyellow, was really lovely, I sat for a moment trying to ‘go there’ in my head, thanks.

Kalu Fri 18-Sept-20 12:21:57

Good plan Stilllearning. I am also doing the cheery nest in preparation for whatever is ahead, possible lockdown/winter.
Halfway through washing all cushion covers and carpets shampooed. ?

Sorry you are still feeling seedy Gwen but worth putting up with for better health. A day sitting in the garden relaxing and reading a good book to take it easy today looking after yourself. ?

He's been !! Yes, my phone's back on. Lovely chap who talked the hind leg off a donkey---couldn't get a word in edgeways as he told me the weeks news in an hour !

Apparently there had been a fault on the line but my phone just needed "waking up" he said. Everything to match, said I.smile

grandMattie Fri 18-Sept-20 13:19:29

Hi. Just wondered if anyone had done an online CBT course? My GP has suggested it.

Marydoll Fri 18-Sept-20 20:29:26

Jan you probably won't get an answer here, as it's a daily thread.
You will get a better response if you make a new thread and put your question in the title.
