Good morning everyone from Malaga where the WiFi signal is bobbins because of the mist over the sea & mountains (again). Hence my tardiness!

Yesterday it was beautiful by lunchtime so I’m hoping it’ll be a similar day later.

Himself sorted out our flights home courtesy of Mr. O’Leary whilst I was out yesterday with my ladies.

Our Covid warrior thinks her ‘tight chest’ on Monday was muscular pain from slight over exertion after light chores at the weekend. That has reassured me.

Right, I’m settling down with a coffee and a fried egg on toast butty (posh here, not) to read all your posts.

Hope Wednesday is good to us all. Keep safe everyone that’s the main thing. x

Good morning everyone from sunny but chilly Gower.

A joy of joys day (not) mopping the floors for me today ?. I may slump in a chair after that, eat a sticky bun and indulge in my non artistic artwork ?

? Bellasnana. Such a difficult day for you. My wonderful brother died far far too young and although it was 23 years ago I still miss him so much. So many wonderful memories though as I loved him so dearly and know I was loved in return; love is a forever gift - the person may no longer be with us but the love never leaves.

Third one down today dragonfly ?

? Happy Birthday *Greyduster ? ? ?

Thinking of Grammaretto and her family. Find something to enjoy and smile about today ???

I want to thank all you lovely people who have given me such a warm welcome back after my couple of weeks absence. I'm powering on a stronger battery level today ?

Stay safe, wear a smile and be kind to yourselves everyone ❤️

Good morning everyone from north Kent where we have clear blue skies, but a bit chilly when I hurtled up the garden to chase the pesky squirrels ? off; they scamper over the fence, but GrannyOwl can put on a fair turn of speed when they’re digging in the garden ?

A bitty day today: a bit of this and that. I have an “empty” this morning as DH has gone to our family business in a consultative capacity to help with preparing for lockdown part two; the business is run and managed by DS and DD but they have asked for support from DH in these unprecedented times. I might pop in later in a supervisory capacity!

Glad your first therapy went well BlueSapphire; I have great admiration with the positive way you are dealing with your anxieties. Happy birthday Greyduster hope you have a good day. Good wishes to all those celebrating birthdays or anniversaries and to the Covid warriors.

Time to disturb the dust and whirl the hoover through the debris. Stay strong - we can do this and better days will be here again. Keep safe

Many happy returns of the day Greyduster! ??

Welcome back to you Cherry you were missed. You always manage to find something upbeat even in your most difficult of times. Kudos to you.

And BlueSapphire you are one amazing lady - reaching out and accepting help isn’t easy sometimes. Well done - I hope your new therapist guides you with coping mechanisms that bring you back to being ‘you’.

Good morning everyone from a beautifully sunny Forth Valley. Sheets on the line and anticipating a bracing walk.

HAZBEEN Wed 04-Nov-20 10:20:40

Good morning all! Haven't been posting for a while. I have been a bit fragile lately then got caught up with the antics the other day! Oh well onwards.
I haven't read the thread yet this morning so will do so after posting.
I am waiting for a telephone call from my consultant this morning. Two weeks ago she said the meds weren't working as quickly as she hoped so after more blood tests she is going to decide today if the dose goes up or we change to another type.
Apart from that I haven't any plans for today. I will probably just do a bit more cross stitch, maybe some baking or perhaps clean the oven, anything to avoid the ironing!
Stay safe all.

GrannyGravy13 Wed 04-Nov-20 10:29:54

Good morning HAZBEEN good luck with your telephone consultation.

Onwards and upwards BlueSaphire I do hope this new therapy will help.

CherryChezzy rest and relax

Gillybob if you are reading, we really miss you, I do hope that there is a light at the end of your long tunnel of troubles.

As we go into this second lockdown so many troubles and poorly folks and family on this friendly thread, sending (((hugs))) to you all

GrannySomerset Wed 04-Nov-20 10:39:05

HAZBEEN - I’ll swap do your ironing if you would clean my cooker, my most unfavourite job. Hope the consultation is helpful.

Blossoming Wed 04-Nov-20 10:41:03

Good morning all. Cold here but not raining so I think I’ll go for a short walk after lunch. I haven’t been out for a week.

I hope everyone is well. I’m still quite new here and don’t really know anybody yet ?

CherryCezzy Wed 04-Nov-20 11:00:11

Urmstongran, the way I see it is that I'm alive so I may as well be kicking, or dancing, or singing ?

You'll soon get to know us Blossoming ?

Good morning Mick and all who follow from a dry and bright Greater Manchester.
Happy birthday Greyduster flowers enjoy your meal.
Took me ages yesterday to phone for an appointment for bloods to be taken at the hospital next week. I'm such a wimp, it's not the bloods I mind at all, it's visiting the hospital that worries me. I was reassured that a one way system was in place and the exit would take me to the middle of the car park. I then had visions of me popping up from a trapdoor like a pantomime demon or someone in Harry Potter! I feel more reassured now but I haven't been anywhere since March.
Had a Tesco delivery yesterday and was looking forward to trying my new thickening shampoo and conditioner. Unfortunately I ordered conditioner and apres shampoo which is another conditioner. We seem to have stockpiled conditioner - 8 bottles now but only 1 shampoo hidden away in the very tall bathroom cabinet! I need to make a list of what we have in there.
Zoom meeting this afternoon with 4 friends. I'm smiling already as it takes us a week to get sorted. I've been using Zoom since last year when my nephew got married in Las Vegas and family and friends who couldn't go watched it live on Zoom. He and his wife were married by a Gene Simmonds lookalike. The bride wore black! It was erm ... unusual to say the least.
I thought using Zoom was going to be a one-off - who knew ...?
Hope everyone with ills or worries has as peaceful a day as possible. Stay safe. flowers

Bluesapphire don’t throw your teapot away!!
Either use it as a planter with a trailing plant in it or hang it up near a hedge or on a wall and the birds will nest in it.

Marydoll Wed 04-Nov-20 12:28:08

Gelisajams , so sorry about your son, you must be really worried.
I hope he is in touch with his GP and getting all the necessary support. As a chronic asthmatic, I have been warned of the dire consequences of not seeking help if I catch it.

Very busy gardening day to fill five very large garden waste bags , drive nine miles to the tip, queue for 40 minutes, seems like the whole world was going to the tip before lockdown!
Then home to have a snack sitting in the wonderful warm sunshine and a cup of tea, and give some thought to what I could aim to achieve during lockdown two, as had failed miserably to achieve anything for the first lockdown.
