Good morning all. I often read but don’t post much.
Just wanted to pop in and give my ongoing support for the Doghouse 4 . They are missed and can’t wait till they’re back with us.

kitty I was feeling like a poodle and faff today, may I join you ?

Marydoll that’s a real pain about your prescriptions. I can’t understand why the pharmacy can’t be more helpful.
Hope you are feeling better. Take care.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Scentia Mon 12-Oct-20 08:47:11

Oh my goodness Mary I see how that can become problematic!

Elizabeth1 Mon 12-Oct-20 08:40:21

scentia I feel for you and your cold sores I get them too usually when I’m on holiday the change in weather seems to attract them and I’m forever picking them enough to make them bleed silly beggar that I am. Change of subject I had a really wonderful day at the beach yesterday not sure if today’s weather will be suitable for me to leave my humble home here on the east coast of Fife it looks pretty dismal from here. Oops forgot to wish everyone a good morning Good morning everyone from a lovely part off the east coast of Fife must hurry now else my carer will be in to support me with personal issues it’s a newbie today I’ll try and give her an easy time of it.. I’ll be wanting back into bed if I don’t see any sunshine soon lady of leisure that I am. No golf today for DH he’s suggested I buy him outdoor golfing trousers for his Christmas - done

They deal with your GP and post your meds out to you.

Thanks, but unfortunately not, Scentia.
My meds are so complicated, always being tweaked.
Most are repeats, two need blood tests before being prescribed and one is a CD. The only ones which cause no problems are delivered straight to my home by the hospital.
There are seventeen items on my repeat list, so you can see why there is always a problem. That's not boasting by the way wink

My GP is in another town, so my prescriptions would need to be collected for me to take them to a new pharmacy. However, my surgery is not allowing patients to pick up prescriptions, tehy must go to teh pharmacy close to it. sad
My local chemist refused to accept a faxed emergency prescription recently. It's all a bit problematic to say the least!
Thank goodness I have my wits about me! Well for now!

They look lovely Grandmattie ?

Morning from S Lanarkshire, sorry, I don’t think you’re going to get you your dry day baubles! Hope you enjoy it anyway, it’s great having them but it can be a long day if you can’t get out. Things sound really miserable for you Scentia, I suppose you’ll have Zovirax?
An indoor day for me, maybe church if I can stir myself! Sending good thoughts to all especially those who need it.

Good morning Mick and all. It is cloudy here on the S Welsh coast, it was a beautiful blue sky day yesterday with a wonderful sunset last evening. We intended going for a walk down the beach but it looked too busy for us and we chose a quieter area instead. MrLins mowed the lawns ready for garden refuse collection this morning. Gave the puppy a much needed bath last night, one puppy, three towels, carnage but a sweet smelling pooch.
I love white flowers too grandMattie the pots look lovely.
Missing the norty four, though don't know who the fourth is. Hope Hattie is fine Maw.
Stay safe if out and about everyone.

dragonfly46 Mon 12-Oct-20 08:25:26

Good morning, yes cloudy here in Leicestershire.

Going out to lunch today as a local is still doing half price meals. We need to go while we still can.

Sending best wishes to those in the doghouse and hope to see you back soon.
Also sending love to those who are struggling.

Good morning from an overcast but dry NE.
DH is going to the bank this morning and my sister is going to bring our anniversary card, pop it through the door and retreat to the end of the drive, I will leave her some novels at the door.
My friend rang last night and we had a good catch up, her sister got married last month with just her two DDs as witnesses. It is sad when when you can not join the family event but they are a big family spread all over the country.
Bought some bedside lamps I had my eye on, this weekend they reduced the price by 40% so ordered them for delivery this week.
Take care.

Nortsat Mon 12-Oct-20 08:21:02

Good morning Mick and the GM team from a grey east London. The weather forecast advises a 72% likelihood of rain and of course we have a line of washing out.

Grocery delivery this morning.
I have some cards (lots of October birthdays) and parcels to post. Left over roast pork for supper.

Good morning Doghouse 4 you are missed and we look forward to your return.
Thinking of Bluesapphire and gilly and all those facing challenges. Have a good day, all. ?

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a gloomy but dry South Yorkshire. Mellow we are also anxiously waiting to see what the government has in store for our city. Hope it’s nothing too drastic☹️. Not much planned today as we had DD and her menfolk here yesterday for a roast dinner. GS, 13, was helping his dad set up my new laptop. In the end dad got fed up with having a monkey dancing on his shoulder and gave the task up to the monkey! Surprising what a lot monkeys know these days?!
We will catch up with DS this evening. They were back from holiday over the weekend in a very remote location, so safe enough. Have a good safe day folks.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. It's chucking it down. Drookit hmm
2 DGC are to be left with me this a.m. so I have rescued some recycling for their creativity.
I wish someone could help you to collect your meds Marydoll
I am glad your family are recovering Urmston
Hoping everyone has a good day and those missing are ok.

Beauregard Mon 12-Oct-20 08:13:07

Good morning all from Derbyshire. Currently dry before the rain starts this afternoon.

Our little grandson is coming this morning while his mum does some jobs. We like to take him a walk round the village in his pushchair and should hopefully be able to do that before it rains.

At some point I've got to go to the supermarket as we're almost out of fruit and other fresh stuff. Also a visit to check the horses later.

Hope everyone is feeling well and today is a good day.

Jaxjacky Mon 12-Oct-20 08:12:32

Good morning Mick and all from a cloudy and cool S Hants, rain due later. We had a lovely lunch out with Dd and DC’s yesterday it was a beautiful day, a proper meal at lunchtime really filled me up, I won’t eat until about 11 today. Watched little sport yesterday, but pleased for Nadal, Hamilton and England..oh and golf! No mega plans today, chasing phone calls.
Urmstogran pretty nails, my husband does mine, but as our weather is definitely not for sandals he’s off duty for a few months. Scentia yuk, a cold, hope it, with its sores goes soon. Mick I’m 50/50, have grown a pumpkin and large squash for GC’s to decorate, but need at least one mince pie over the festives.
Have a peaceful day all, hope the ‘norty’step is not too chilly for those still there and those struggling find a little chink of light.

grandMattie Mon 12-Oct-20 08:07:48

Gingster, this is what they look like at the moment.

Nannytopsy Mon 12-Oct-20 08:03:26

Good morning Mick and all his followers. Having tea in bed in a hotel on the North Norfolk coast this morning as the blue sky unfolds. . We spent yesterday afternoon at Titchwell, saying hello to the avocets and lots of ducks. More birdwatching today before we go home.
It’s such a change to have food prepared for us! I think we have become a bit predictable with our menus during lockdown. I always love hotel breakfasts!
Cold sores are horrible Scentia - my commiserations. And such an early start too!
I hope the day is kind to everyone.

Gingster Mon 12-Oct-20 08:02:40

Good morning all from a grey Essex. Yesterday was lovely.

We had DS2 and family here for lunch yesterday. Roast was successful - even my Yorkshire puds rose to a spectacular level. Mine are always a bit hit or miss. It was so lovely to see them. Two gd’s aged 6 and 8. A perfect age! I had lots of craft for them to do , so us adults were able to chat . Little pooch had such fun with them too. A lovely day.

This morning I have my ‘Chimes’ group. Teacher has found a large hall that has been passed as ‘Covid safe’ . Only 6 of us with masks, gloves and sanitiser. It will be worth it to get together to make music and have some laughs.

Scentia do try to keep smiling even with your sore lips. Painful though! ? . Hope they heal soon.

Sar I’m glad your detective work paid off re your car. It’s such a nuisance for you, and so thoughtless of the culprit. He must have known he’d scraped you. ?

I haven’t heard from my Gd yet if her results are through. I suspect not otherwise she would have messaged. Poor girl is isolated at uni.

Your feet look so pretty Urms. You’ve done a good job. Mine will be under wraps now til spring. ?

Glad your lamp spraying was successful Marydoll. Sooo satisfying.

Your plant pots will look glorious Grandmattie. Beautiful colours! Something lovely to look forward to in the Spring. ?.

Have a pleasant day, all. ???

Morning All

A brilliant red sunrise here in the north of Norfolk.

No plans for today although I may try to get a load of washing done before the next belt of rain arrives.

Hope to see our missing bods return soon.

Pittcity Mon 12-Oct-20 07:56:37

Good morning from a grey skied Colchester. A chilly start.
DH is taking the car to be serviced so I'll have a chance to mop our hard floors without him walking through. A weekend of grandchildren mean the floors are a bit sticky in places.
There's a big pile of ironing to tackle too.
A curry made with leftover roast lamb is on the menu.

cornergran Mon 12-Oct-20 07:55:01

Morning Mick, morning All from a dry, cloudy, chilly corner of Somerset. Errands this morning then some sorting. Nothing exciting but will be a good enough day. Your family news sounded so much better Urmston. Colds and the dreaded cold sores are foul Scentia, maybe a hint to slow down a bit? Thinking of all not posting for whatever reason. Take care everyone, have the best day you can.

NannyJan53 Mon 12-Oct-20 07:49:33

Good Morning from a dull Black Country.

It was a lovely sunny day yesterday, so we had a pleasant walk with Mum, DD and two DGD's.

Apparently my Walking for Health group has re-started. They have to go in groups of 6, hopefully I can join them today.

I used to suffer terribly with cold sores when younger Scentia so can sympathise. Luckily I rarely have them now.

That was a worry MellowYellow, what a relief you DGS is ok.

Best wishes to the Doghouse4 (not sure who the fourth one is) hope you are all well and back with us soon.

kittylester Mon 12-Oct-20 07:46:25

Morning all from a cloudy North Leicestershire.

A pootling and faffing day for us.

Sending love and healing thoughts to everyone.

Grandmabatty Mon 12-Oct-20 07:44:07

Good morning All. Scentia cold sores are awful things, my sympathies. I get one when I'm run down or very stressed. I would say, take it easy but I don't think you're that kind of gal! It's very damp and still dark in Polmont. I'm off in a while to pick up dgs. I bought him a little table and chairs to have meals at and draw/eat crayons. I wonder what he'll make of it. I have no idea how you coped being up at two in the morning Scentia! Mick I'm in the pumpkin brigade, although I don't buy one any more. I have foam shaped pumpkins that will decorate my living room window. Marydoll well done on your spray painting. I am notoriously messy when painting so I would hate to think the state I'd be in. I hope you get your prescription sorted. I get a bucket load of pills every two months and occasionally they've forgotten something. It is a real nuisance, especially nowadays, to get it sorted out. Mellowyellow I missed the surprise party mention for your dgd. I read back and loved the cake. It sounds like it was a very eventful day! I hope dgs is very much better, the wee scone. Urmston the picture you create of the marina is lovely. I wish I could see it. And your nails are very nice. I would definitely make a mess of mine. No real plans for today as I'm toddler sitting. We'll go outside for a while later but that's all. Leftover chicken for dinner. Have a good day all.
