Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark ,wet and windy here in Brackley this morning , its a storm with a name.
Usual shop early , and get back watch some TV , then after lunch watch cycling on TV a raced based in Belgium, so conditions will be somewhat similar to what I am seeing now .
The Giro tour of Italy starts tomorrow , in this belated cycling season usually held in May .
Take care ,
Mick

Jan16 so sorry to hear about your DH,, I hope you hear good news soon.

Urmston I have my fingers crossed for your DD and family. What a worry for you being so far away. Hopefully it will be negative. flowers

Kalu Fri 02-Oct-20 15:26:01

What a worry for you Jan. I hope you hear some positive news soon. In the meantime, we are all here for you if you needs us.?.
Same to you also Urmston. I know you won’t rest until you have had an update. ?for good news. ?

Borrheid, my apologies, just realised I haven’t wished you a warm welcome. When I saw your username I knew exactly where you hail from and were bound to know our lovely Marydoll. Who doesn’t? ? and now it wouldn’t surprise me to learn Dragonfly and Marydoll may well have met each other in a previous life. What a small world.

Marydoll Fri 02-Oct-20 15:33:22

It's great, Kalu. What worries me is that the skeletons may come out of the closet and my cover will be blown! wink grin

Borrheid55 Fri 02-Oct-20 15:34:26

If you know, you know!

Beautiful day in Fife today, we've just been to St Andrews for a walk along the cliffs. Now we're battening down the hatches for the storm tomorrow.

We should have been in Hawaii just now (!) at a conference for DH's work. Obviously didn't happen...so DH will be there virtually tonight.

Taichinan, I got your name wrong yesterday, sorry!

Fingers crossed for you Urmstongran, and all others with troubles today.

Borrheid55 Fri 02-Oct-20 15:36:45

And my mummy still lives about 100 yards away from it Dragonfly46

Marydoll Fri 02-Oct-20 15:37:38

Borrheid I will keep quiet if you do!

Borrheid55 Fri 02-Oct-20 15:38:30

Marydoll my lips are sealed!

Kalu Fri 02-Oct-20 15:49:36

* Borrheid*, don’t hold your breath on Marydoll keeping quiet for too long, if at all! Although she is very talented, keeping quiet is not a talent she is known for. ??...I should talk!!?

Kalu Fri 02-Oct-20 15:57:18

Alegrias, I envy you spending time in St Andrews today. A stroll along the East sands finished off with a coffee al fresco at The Dunvegan would be such a treat.

CherryCezzy Fri 02-Oct-20 16:02:28

Welcome Borrheid ?, though you are a "newbie" to many it seems you are an "oldbie" to some ?.

Jan16 I hope the hospital sort your DH out pronto and he recovers quickly and strongly from what ails him ?

Marydoll Fri 02-Oct-20 16:25:42

Alegrias and a trip to Moshulu and that shop on the corner we like Kalu! The one that sells the nice jewellery! ?

Alegrias Fri 02-Oct-20 16:30:32

Marydoll and Kalu And Toppings bookshop!

Alegrias Fri 02-Oct-20 16:34:01

Marydoll and Kalu and others missing St Andrews, a picture for you. Taken this morning.

Kalu Fri 02-Oct-20 16:34:09

I had just thought of Moshulu and also Pretty Things in South Street, the one we can never remember the name of Marydoll. Maybe next year. ? Plus the ironmongers on Market Street. ?

Marydoll Fri 02-Oct-20 17:35:07

Kalu stop it!!!!

Borrheid55 Fri 02-Oct-20 17:43:32

CherryCezzy thank you! I’ve dipped into GN for a while but recognised my school motto when Marydoll posted it. She worked out quickly who I was! Now I’m checking in every day! What a small world!

Marydoll Fri 02-Oct-20 17:47:00

Alegrias what a lovely picture! Thank you.
No wonder my friend moved there from Glasgow!

Urmstongran Fri 02-Oct-20 18:33:14

Just an update.

Our daughter’s just rung me. They both got a positive test.

They had been super cautious too. No socialising. Work and home. Just son in law doing the weekly shop wearing a mask.

His symptoms were fatigue, headache, high temp over 38° and aching muscles. Thank goodness paracetamol has finally brought his temperature down after 36 hours.

DD2 had headache, aching neck, loss of smell and taste.

They kept the children home today while they waited for the result. Grandson (just 8y) punched the air and said ‘yes’ at no school for 2 weeks, then cried as he can’t go to football tomorrow.

Our daughter is just doing a Tesco shop on line now. She rang the head where she works and he is closing the 2 classes in reception and Year 1 where she is key stage lead.

I suppose at least they have it together. I feel guilty being out here but to be honest we wouldn’t be able to go straight into their bubble if we went home and we’d be vulnerable too as Himself is almost 70y and I have hypertension.

Just have to hope that at 40y and 45y they are young and fit to get over it. Mummy doesn’t want the children tested as they are well. She doesn’t want to put them through a test - Our granddaughter is only 3 and a half.
She just hopes they stay well.

Oh my little family.

Oh urmston so sorry to hear this news about your family. How worrying for you all, I really hope your DD and SiL get over it quickly with no lingering problems and your DGC stay well. Sending hugs ❤️

Marydoll Fri 02-Oct-20 18:59:26

Urmston, I'm so sorry to hear that. I was wondering how things were. ?

CherryCezzy Fri 02-Oct-20 19:16:50

Sorry to hear that tests came back the wrong way Urmstongran. They are young enough to come through this fine ?. I hope your DGC will be unaffected ?

NannyJan53 Fri 02-Oct-20 19:25:16

Oh Urmston so sorry the test was positive. Hopefully they are young enough to overcome this without too much difficulty. Love and hugs to you and your family

Grammaretto Fri 02-Oct-20 19:36:32

That is a shame Urmston but just as well you and MrUrms aren't with them.
I hope they recover quickly xx

Susan56 Fri 02-Oct-20 20:33:32

So sorry to hear the tests came back positive Urmstongran.I really hope that your daughter and son in law recover quickly and that the little ones stay well.?
