Good Morning Mick and all the other early Gods Morningers
I too am awaking to a dark and wet day. DH shot out of bed when my alarm went off saying “what the f%#k was that?!”
I have had that alarm for about two years and it goes off seven days a week, so not sure what he heard??
A day at the factory today. I was rather sad the last few days as I have handed in my notice at the children’s homes, I obviously can’t say why but it has made me sad.
I do however have my weekends back and I need to make a plan for Saturday.
Yesterday I met my DSiS and DN with DD and DGS at bradgate park and we got absolutely soaked to the skin!!
Hope everyone having any kind of troubles can just have a little smile at some point today, when I am truly troubled I only have to see my DGS face pop around the corner of his hallway when I ring the doorbell and suddenly everything seems ok ?

Walking poles are fabulous Spice, you'll stride out! I love mine, though I'm now on crutches waiting for two new hips.

Good morning all. I've been missing in action for a while, so thought I'd come back and report.

Melbourne weather is running true to form. We have a saying, if you don't like the weather wait 5 minutes. After some lovely sunny days around the low to mid 20's we have reverted to wet, windy and cold days and likely to see this for the next week or so. One good thing though is the slightly longer days. We will start daylight saving in just over a week.

I had a 3 month check up with the surgeon for my knee replacement this morning. All going well and we are both pleased with the result. Given that I have not been able to do hydrotherapy - thanks to COVID - and I find walking difficult due to arthritis in my ankles and feet, my exercise has been limited. However I have just bought myself some walking poles at the suggestion of my physiotherapist. They should arrive in the next few days and I'm looking forward to trying them out to see if they give me the stability I lack to walk.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Good morning from a dark, damp south Cornwall. Lots of lovely rain in the night. Hoping for less today as it's our allotment knitters outdoor meeting though we can retreat to a sort of covered area if necessary. Doctors texted yesterday asking me to book a flu jab - it's next Saturday in the practice car park at 11.12! I'd better not be a minute late!

Sorting kitchen for my new dishwasher yesterday I removed a kick panel and a queen bee flew out. Glad I disturbed her before she created a brood! Strange place to hide though, under a kitchen cupboard.

Well, better get up and make a coffee, don my Dry Robe and sit on my swing seat to watch the sunrise. Best of days to you all, whatever you're going through.

Morning GrandM.

I love the expression hugger mugger, haven’t heard that for ages.

Good morning Mick, dark and wet here too, admin work today, including printing some table signage for our village pub re the new rules.
I’ll also have to fish out some winter footwear for a walk, dramatic weather changes in a few days.
Enjoy your Thursday.
To all, have a calm day, especially those in turbulent times. X

Morning Mick and All your followers.

Cloudy and damp here in South Bucks.

Woke at 4.45 with a headache went down to get a cuppa, a Rich Tea, and a tablet, drank the tea whilst I listened to the Shipping Forecast then started to drift off until DH got up to visit the loo, so there is no hope of any more sleep.

Off to a friend’s for coffee this morning and that’s it for today!

Good morning from a cool, dark, overcast E Kent. We are forecast more rain today. What a treat!
I hope you get your ‘flu jab easily, Mick. My surgery normally does two Saturdays in early September, with everyone hugger mugger being done. This year, the earliest appointment I could get is at the end of October.
Felt rather jaded yesterday. No, not too much to drink - unless you count one very small glass of wine with dinner. Did the washing, folding and, yes, the ironing. I’m very virtuous and iron after every wash. I don’t mind ironing. I far prefer it to dusting!
DS2 visiting today. First time we’re seeing him since the bank holiday. It’ll be wonderful. He’s coming to lunch and we’re all going out to dinner at a new local restaurant called “Tan Bueno”. Sort of Spanish. Yum.
I hope the missing are ok, the sad, sick and in pain feel better, and everyone has a good day. Stay safe.

Good Morning Everyone,
its dark, dull and wet here in Brackley this morning.
This will not put me off going to Bicester via Buckingham, and then returning direct.
Up to March I had returned via Buckingham , but the service back also picks up secondary school children ,and as its a small bus I fear the worst .
I had some good news yesterday as to flu jab, my surgery are visiting the luxation early next week to give residents from that surgery the jab.
Mick
