Good Morning Wednesday

Good morning all. Dry day here in Greater Manchester. I've not opened the curtains yet but it doesn't seem to be sunny.

I think you should get medical advice as well Mick. You can't be too careful.

Thank you Umstongran for your kind reply and Feelingmyage for the flowers.

Yesterday's Zoom meeting was very welcome and funny. One of the ladies kept shouting for help from her husband. She appeared sideways at first and with no sound. We were laughing too much to help her. After a while she was running out of battery and had to call for help again. I wanted to know when she had become such Victorian!

Had an unexpected Facetime with my overseas Grandsons later. The youngest aged 3 was in a grumpy so didn't want to speak. The older one aged 5 was so chatty and sang Happy Birthday for tomorrow to me which was lovely. English is his second language but he slips in and out of it beautifully.

I'm looking forward to another Facetime again this evening.

I think I may get on with some drawing again today. It was lovely sitting in a quiet room the other day concentrating on pencil and paper. I've also got a couple of books on the go as well, so. a peaceful day planned for me.

I hope others have as peaceful a day add they can. Oh forgot to say welcome back to Maw. I was another who missed her posts.

Stay safe people.

Well, we must be right then!!!! ?

Wishing you a lovely birthday Grandmasue ????and your new wealth ?

I didn’t see your flu post Marydoll before I added my two pennies worth.

Good morning from nondescript day in Manchester. But like how I feel. Take care Mick relax and rest today. Yesterday was glorious, about 16° Had a 6.5 mile walk in the morning and then tramp round the fields for 2 hours with Gs1. We made camp fires (pretend!) and dens, explored the jungle, didn't see any tigers though and had running races. That cured my Insomnia last night! Catch up with the housework this morning. Now we're in tier 3 lots of nice things we had planned have been cancelled?. not looking forward to the next few weeks but we're lucky to have family. Take care everyone. for those with extra cares and worries. Hope Gilly is OK.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s just getting light but the sky looks very grey with more rain coming I expect ?
Mick another kind request here for you to get a check up soon please
I’ve a day off from looking after the DGC as their dad is off work today, so I’m looking forward to a lazy morning and then my friend for a coffee and a long chat later.
Thinking of everyone with troubles and worries, take care all whatever the day brings ?

Ginster I googled it and apparently some flu jabs are made with eggs.

Good morning Mick and all from dry (MrPantglas will be pleased to know) but overcast Anglesey. Wind has dropped since yesterday’s gales almost stripped the trees bare.
Please take others good advice Mick and contact your doctor, glad you’ve decided to take it easy today.
Sorry to hear that some of you haven’t had a very good night, a snooze on the sofa later perhaps.
I love your tales from the farm Sheepandcattle, I’m learning lots of new things.
The builders arrived very early this morning, I hope they can get finished by Friday when we go back in to lockdown here in Wales even though Anglesey’s infection rates are low. Otherwise we’ll be wrapped up in blue plastic for another month.
Must do some housework today even if only for the exercise.
Hope everyone with problems has a better day today.

Happy birthday, Grandmasue, have a lovely day.?

Egg based technology is used in the manufacturing of flu vaccine, so it would be dangerous to have it, if you were allergic to eggs.

Good morning all, Mick, sorry you’re poorly. It’s tipping it down here in a dark S Hants. Might clear out a couple of kitchen cupboards and I have some mince to slow cook, will use some for a cottage pie. Expecting a phone call from the solicitor handling my Mums estate, at the tail end now, so hope it’s finally ready to be closed.
Have a gentle day all.

Good morning All. The weather is quiet in Polmont, nothing happening so far. Mick lots of resting. Take care of yourself. Kittylester good news about your husband. So many of you have had a bad night for various reasons. ? For you all. I don't sleep well now and I have got used to it. Last night I was only up once and slept fairly soundly between visits to the loo so I count that a good night! No more slug incursions, thank goodness. I had been considering buying a new back door anyway so that has spurred me on. Babysitting yesterday was tiring as he doesn't have a great attention span yet so I'm required to direct activities. That's probably why I slept so well last night! We were playing the singing game, heads shoulders knees etc and he now can point to his head and shoulders and made a pretty good stab at saying shoulders so my job was done! Today I'm meeting a friend at a local garden centre for coffee. The centre had sent me a voucher for coffee and scones for two so that'll do nicely. Then it's back home, tidying up and mail sorting. I have a cross stitch to get on with. Have a good day all.

Pant, I normally use a chopper but i gave it to DS2. Probably put the quinces in my pressure cooker.... otherwise an axe will be required.?

Good morning all from a grey Glasgow.
Mick, I agree with those who say contact your GP.
Best not to mix with others until you have taken medical advice. It must have been quite frightening for you.

Yesterday's visit to the supermarket didn't quite go as planned.
I just wanted to pick up bread and milk, in and out quickly and home. DH insisted on coming with me to keep an eye on me! What he actually meant was he wanted to pick up some speciality beer. We got there at 9am and it was so busy! It is usually dead at that time. Then the penny dropped, unknown to me, -- how did I miss that?-- Sainsbury's had a 25% off deal on clothing.
Browsing was impossible, with little or no social distancing.?

On the way out, DH as usual was racing ahead, with me hobbling at a distance. He set off the security alarm at the exit, but was totally oblivious. The security guard chased after him into the car park, with me hirpling behind, calling his name.
I was black affronted, as we say in Glasgow.?
I had to apologise, but the security guard couldn't stop laughing. DH of course had done nothing wrong. Although his hearing is perfect, the alarm isn't loud enough!?

As my fellow fruit farmer, Mellow Yellow knows, our mini patio fruit trees will be delivered within the next few days, but I have no compost left, so a trip to the local nursery is planned between showers. It's a right old fashioned nursery, with everything outdoors.
I know for certain, DH will not leave empty handed.?

Best wishes for all those with hospital visits today. I managed to speak to a very young sounding GP yesterday, he sounded about fifteen. My medication has thankfully been tweeked in advance of my hospital consultation next week. I couldn't put up with the constant nausea any longer.
As my repeats were out of sinc, he listened and on my instructions ? amended the timescale. A simple thing which will make life much easier for my SIL, who collects them.
All in all, a successful day.☺️

Wishing everyone a safe and pleasant day.

Good Morning Mick and can I emphasise my agreement with all the advice to contact medical advice!
It is still and dry here at the moment , but I don’t think rain is far away
The washing machine is whirling away , I’ll probably just dry it indoors
I took the nets down yesterday , they are to keep birds and wasps out , it is much brighter without them , they will be put away till next year
I can’t believe the hour changes this weekend ! Darker evenings ahead

Good morning from Derbyshire. A miserable day in store.

The day hasn't started well. I've had a phone call from DD to say SIL has covid symptoms so has to take a test, which he has managed to book locally this morning. DD has just finished her isolation period and was due to get her freedom back today but now it could be a further 14 days for her too. They are both teachers so are more exposed to the virus than most. Hopefully we'll know more in a couple of days.

Mick hope you feel better soon.
Happy birthday to GrandmasueUK
to all not feeling well and having bad nights.

Grandmafrench hope your appointment went well and you are back with us today.

Have a good day everyone.

Morning all from a soggy North Leicestershire.

Thank you all for your kind wishes for dh. His oscopy went well, polyps were removed but, apparently, looked fine!!

Busy morning here - our cleaner comes and I do my Zoom volunteering. Then I need a big sit down. Then I have to do my online Sainsbury's shop. I have also managed to get a Sajnsbury's Christmas slot.

In other news, the house next door has sold and we saw an older couple poking round in the garden yesterday. I have to say they looked as though they wouldn't be having wild parties - so that's ok.

Sending best wishes to all and yet another suggestion that Mick contacts his gp.

Love, as always, to our gilly.

Good morning all and I think it’s a wet one for most of us. I’m sitting in the conservatory typing this on my I pad and a drip has landed on the screen. ?. Oh no!

Mick , do phone your doc. Especially as you had a funny turn whist out recently. ?‍⚕️. Take it easy today.

Beechnut I wonder what the connection is with flu jab and eggs? Mmmm egg and chips sounds nice .

Hair appointment today. I go to my hairdressers house, so I phoned her as Essex is now in tier 2. Apparently it’s ok to mix households for work reasons, so off I go!

We are off to our Suffolk cottage on Saturday. We can’t see family or friends here, so we might as well isolate ourselves by the sea. There is no restrictions for travelling into different counties , at the moment. ?.

It’s only just light now. Did someone say the clocks go back this weekend? Lighter in the mornings for a while.

Take care all and keep dry. ???

Morning all from a dry north Wales where I’ll see what weather LauraNorder on the island has in store for us later!

Hope you feel better soon Mick - hope it’s only the remains of the dodgy bap! I had my flu jab yesterday (first freebie- I normally pay) and my arm is tender so an easy day for me.

I was given a large bagful of quinces many moons ago and made quince jelly but they were hard as nails and DH had to chop them for me, GrandMattie!

Have a safe day folks x

Good morning Mick and all. Hope you feel better soon Mick.
Rain overnight, dry at the moment but a wet day is forecast. We had a lovely walk in dry conditions yesterday morning, then got soaked walking the puppy just before dark. Some ironing and an online shopping delivery on the agenda today.
Best wishes to Maw and Hattie, free at last.
Have a pleasant day everyone.

Just popped back to wish Sar all the best at the hospital appt. ?

where are you planning to move to, Pitt?

Good morning from a dark and rainy Colchester.
Tier 2 means our weekly coffee meetup has to move outside again and so has been rescheduled until tomorrow.
Housework today as estate agent coming to take photos this afternoon. DH has agreed to take the plunge....

Please contact your GP Mick.

Good morning Mick and the GM team from dark east London.
Mick ring your GP’s surgery for a telephone consultation with your doctor... just to be on the safe side. Have a restful day, keep warm and have plenty of fluids. We will want an update tomorrow morning.

I have an important zoom Networking Session today, so keep your fingers crossed that all the IT works, please.

I haven’t made any progress with HMRC and the Tax Charge ... I think i’ll try again on Thursday.

Have a good day all. Nice to see MawB back yesterday. Thinking of Bluesapphire and sending best wishes to gilly. Have a good day all. ?

Good morning from a very wet Essex by the sea.
Sorry to hear you are feeling poorly Mick, please take care and look after yourself.
My back pain seems marginally better this morning and I slept quite well, hooray.
I have an actual hospital appointment this afternoon, women's problem, I'm a little apprehensive. They rang yesterday just to check we are Covid free and to explain when to arrive and the checks that will take place. Luckily DH will take me and wait till I'm done.
Have the best Wednesday you can and stay safe everyone xx

Good morning Mick and all

Mick please ring your GP, we cannot have you bring poorly, rest up.

Another disturbed night, I was so tired I thought I would have slept through.

Off to the gym this morning after the cleaners have been here, then I think I will doze on the sofa.

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️

Good Morning from Oxfordshire.
Raining cats and dogs here this morning.
Mick hope you feel better soon
Sorry you both had such a bad night Nannytopsy
Hello Maw good to see you're back.
Off to work now.
Hope everyone has a good day especially those with added worries
