Dragonfly and Auntyflo
It will be 21 years on Tuesday since I got my probable diagnosis, confirmed on the 8th, op on the 15th and home on the 22nd , things moved quickly in those days.
I obviously don’t know your ages but you have many more years to look forward to.

Just read Grammarettos sad news. My sincere condolences on your loss.

A late good morning to everyone. I had a quite disturbed night, pain in my legs and hip (arthritis) and ended up reading for a while. Then fell back asleep about 6am which resulted in me not getting up until almost 10am.
OH is cooking lunch (roast pork, roasties etc) as usual so I have read the papers and now time to read through everyones posts, I am so lazy!
Grand Prix to watch later as we treated ourselves to Sky sports subscription yesterday (OH is delighted he can now watch his team Man United live!).
Stay safe all.

Good morning Mick, Annie* and all. Another lazy day here.
We have just listened to our Church service on line, and lit the first Advent candle. A light to all.
I thought I had a whole box of tea lights, but cannot find them, so will have to buy some next week.

Dragonfly, we have been on a similar journey for two years. I was diagnosed on my GS's birthday. But, I haven't had as hard a time as you. Sending you all best wishes in your continuing recovery.
Can't be bothered to cook a roast today, so will have spaghetti bolognese. The sauce has come out of the freezer, so easy peasy.
Yesterday afternoon I watched Swallows and Amazons, I have never seen the film or read the book. Nice easy, peaceful viewing.
Also finished a Jessie Burton book, The Confession, which I enjoyed after a slow start.
Missing our Gillybob, and wish we had some news of her and her little family.
There are lots of sadnesses around, so hugs and love to one and all.
Have a good day .

Just able to squeeze in on the good morni g thread.
I wanted to give my sincere condolences to Grammaretto flowers

Gwenisgreat1 Sun 29-Nov-20 11:50:52

So sorry to hear about your loss Grammaretto I hope you have your family round for support

What I read from your threads is; This ageing business just ain't for Wimps!!

Jaxjacky Sun 29-Nov-20 11:45:21

Came back to read through, sad to read of your loss Grammaretto sincere condolences.

Kim19 Sun 29-Nov-20 11:39:55

Thanks M, thought that might be the sadness but obviously wouldn't presume. Oh dear.....

Mapleleaf Sun 29-Nov-20 11:37:52

Good morning,

Another grey, dreary, damp and dark morning here in South Yorkshire. At least it's not raining yet, unlike yesterday, when it never stopped during the day.

So sorry to hear of the loss of your DH Grammaretto ?

I do hope as the day moves on you feel a little better, dragonfly and also send birthday wishes for your DH ?.

Take care everyone.

Kim19 Sun 29-Nov-20 11:28:31

Haven't looked in here for a few days. Please enlighten me on Grammaretto? Could make a reasonable guesss but that would be foolish and presumptuous. She always comes over as so wise, kind and generally lovely.

hollysteers Sun 29-Nov-20 11:27:01

Condolences to Grammaretto Such a hard time. ???

gillgran Sun 29-Nov-20 11:16:19

Good Morning to you all from an overcast, gloomy, Cambs.,
It's been misty/foggy for a couple of days now.
I like to hear the weather from Norfolk as that's where our little "summer-home-from-home" is. So it's good to see your post today Norfolkd, also Grandmadougal, I think there is Ebear? too, any more?

My sincere sympathy for Grammaretto.flowers

Take Care Marydoll, & all of you with extra worries during these troublesome times.

MawBe Sun 29-Nov-20 11:16:02

A very late good morning from me from grey and chilly N Bucks.
Sincere and heartfelt condolences to Grammaretto and birthday wishes to Mr Dragonfly. It is hard to get excited about birthdays but I wish you both a pleasant day ??
Nothing happening here today even my planned trip to Waitrose to pick up a JL order has been cancelled according to them.
So a bit of TV and getting on with the Icelandic throw I m knitting for DD.
Wishing you all well.

Gwenisgreat1 Sun 29-Nov-20 11:15:23

Good Morning from Grey (but dry) Harrogate. The optimist in me has put a wash on with hopes of drying outside???
Sorry you are feeling down Norsat and Dragon - just think that vaccine will be with us soon!!
I know what you mean Baubles- my Christmas card list is dwindling
Last night a Technician from KNOW-HOW (which I subscribe to) revived my ailing laptop, and found 150 MB which I didn't know it had. I am so happy, thought I was going to have to buy a new Macbook!!!
The rest of the day will be spent reading the rest of the posts here, going to 'church', exercising, walking the dog and cooking

Sorry so many are finding it rough, tomorrow will be a new day!

Stilllearning Sun 29-Nov-20 11:06:07

Just checked back in and was shocked to read Marydolls post about the death of your dear husband Grammaretto. I send my sincere condolences and prayers for you and your family.

hollysteers Sun 29-Nov-20 10:59:03

Good morning Mick and all from Three Bridges, Lancashire, cold and dry.
I’m so sorry you are having a tough time dragonfly, on top of your radiotherapy, you could do without all this trouble.
I’ve got an attack of the shingles on my left side, only mild and nothing compared to what many suffer, but another excuse to leave the bra off!
I realised this morning that I had left a bag of shopping in the boot after a ‘big’ shop involving lots of bags. It’s ok, but a couple of frozen items I think will be fine as it’s very cold I there. My bubbled daughter comes tomorrow and I am taking the easy way out by microwaving a couple of ready cooked lamb shanks. Last night I cooked stuffed courgettes for myself, as love marrows, aubergines etc. Seemed a fuss as I don’t cook much since my husband died.
Watched a film from 1940 with Michael Redgrave playing the poshest crane driver one could imagine ?
Thinking of those with worries.

annsixty Sun 29-Nov-20 10:53:50

Good morning all from a gloomy Stockport.
Sincerest condolences to Grammaretto you have had, and will continue to have, a very difficult time so my best wishes to you and your family.

Nothing on the cards at all today except pork chops for tea tonight, not very exciting.

Decs coming down from the loft in the next couple of days but my heart isn’t in it. I will make the effort though.

May need to get onto BG today, when I went to the loo in the night I realised the CH was on, I haven’t investigated yet as I need someone to look at the boiler controls and I can’t use a step to get up there.

Have the best day you can everyone.

EllanVannin Sun 29-Nov-20 10:52:29

Good Morning All x.
A typical dark day of November and hanging there for the rest of the day by the look of it.
I must jiggle myself about a bit today in case I nod off as I had quite a disturbed night. I was wide awake for ages, so I got up in the end and made a cup of tea, then continued with my online buying.

I'm sorry to hear of Grammaretto's loss and send my condolences. x flowers
Dragonfly I think you're doing very well and may it continue x Birthday Wishes to Mr.D.

A couple of thick lamb chops today with my mushy peas, which I remembered to soak last night, so I'll throw some roast pots. in the oven when I do the chops at the same time.

I noticed it was 41 degrees in Sydney. One Christmas when I was there it was 43 and office workers in the city were coming out and diving straight into the harbour grin It made front page news that year. I was cooking Christmas dinner for about 12, sweating cobs and lost half a stone when I was there. Home in the New Year to packed ice !

If I can get some semblance of order here I'll get the lighted twigs out of their boxes instead of bothering with the tree. It'll be better than nothing. I don't feel very " with it " this year, but then again not many do I don't imagine.

Hope everyone has a decent sort of a day, germ-free being the main thing. Thoughts to those having a down day with hope that things improve as the day goes on. Thinking of Gilly too x.
Take care and stay safe.

Good morning everyone from a grey and dismal north Kent.

Sending condolences to Grammaretto and her family. ?

Will bring the Christmas lights down from the attic and put a few up outside. We usually decorate the front of the house, but DH is not very enthusiastic about going up and down ladders this year and probably not a good idea to tempt fate and end up in a heap with broken bones.

Hope those feeling down in spirits or health have a better day. ? for Dragonfly. Have a good Sunday. Stay safe
