Good Morning Monday

I laughed about the choc digestives Marydoll as it brought back memories of mum's next-door neighbour who was a real worrier ( male) and on talking to mum one morning he was about to sneeze so pulled out his handkerchief quickly to catch the sneeze and on doing so, tangled with his hankie was one of his daughters hair ribbons---a red one to which he panicked and said, " oh no, my nose is bleeding now ".

It took mum and I all our time not to laugh, though we did later.

Just popping in to say Good Afternoon All from wet & miserable Harrogate
Got my sewing machine going - I'd had a touch of dyslexia and put bits in the wrong way round!!

Keep well, folks

I don't know. Feelingmyage, but it was in my mind that if I did catch Covid, I may have had a fighting chance.

I am also very grateful to you, for I have forgotten to do my injection today, footering about on Ebay, so I'm off to do it now!

Excellent news marydoll. I wonder if your RA medication protected you?

And there’s’more here’s looking at you kid

More doggy pictures

Glad to hear your good news Marydoll.
Good morning all from very windy and rainy North Lancs.
Haven’t been shopping for a while but I need milk, bread and fruit today so I’m going to venture out and hope the only droplets I pick up are rainy ones.
Our local supermarket is very particular about masks, sanitising and counting customers in and out so it feels relatively safe. ??
The rain hasn’t stopped exercisers today. I’ve counted 38 people walking up or down the hill this morning, despite the weather.

Sorry, didn't say Good morning.....too surprised.........from wet and windy Cumbria.

Lauranorder they are very nice. Paul Rankin recipe. I'm just in from puddle splashing. Dgs,not just me! Marydoll that's excellent news.

Due to have our 2nd vaccination in two days time. Surgery just phoned to cancel and said we would be contacted before 12 weeks are up. They phoned last week to confirm that they were going to do it this week but now cant get supplies. I had heard that the Pfizer jab was prescribed for a 3 week booster shot. I can see NHS is desperate to immunise more people.

Good morning from a grey, very wet North of Scotland. Does rearranging kitchen cupboards count as exercise? I hope so. Nothing exciting planned, I have done the Monday chores, laundry, bed changed and some admin. I plan to make a pair of curtains this afternoon. That doesn't mean I will actually get started but it sounds good. I am going to have my coffee and read the thread now. Have the safest day you can folks.

Good morning everyone from a cold and grey Devon, not raining yet but something is on it’s way according to the sky. I’ve already dealt with paperwork first thing from new solicitor for our move back to Sussex this morning so looks like she’s more on ball than solicitor we sacked last week ?. More worried about my DB in Florida who now has his DD living with him who has just caught COVID from the wards where she is frontline nurse. He’s been really ill in recent years so is very much at risk, told me yesterday he was giving me heads up as he is obviously worried and looking after her. My imagination has been running riot in the night... do I go over to him if he’s ill etc (I’m at risk myself autoimmune disease etc)....if he’s taken to hospital etc etc....oh well, I suppose I shouldn’t jump the gun, so upset because we were actually going to see him last November and had been so looking forward to it but obviously didn’t, been ok mentally so far but seem to ‘have lost the plot today sorry’. Must get some shopping in, hate that job, must start packing up too. Have a good day everyone.

Where’s Pantglas this morning?

Glad your covid test is negative Marydoll, that’s a huge relief.
I think scentia has a point Urmstongran, get your safe mode of transport back pdq.
Good to hear that Izabella is doing okay.
Oooh more shared sunshine from Portugal, thank you Dustyangel.

Marydoll good news about your test! Glad all is well.

Morning all,
I am amazed how many people are stil ignoring The Rules ,it’s frightening.?. Stay at Home. They are for everyone not just those who are shielding.Having said that we now have our vaccination appointments for tomorrow- Hooray, but not having left the house for weeks or seen anyone, I am feeling definitely twitchy regarding the reported queues and hanging around outside.
Keep safe everyone.

Great news Marydoll one worry off your shoulders!

Urmston I would agree, that you need your car back.

Good morning Mick and all from Anglesey which remains still, cold and dry.
Lovely pictures of daffodils and tulips, beautiful sunrise Ginny and Bertie ready to warn the world of any strange movement is reassuring.
Glad you’ve decided to have your mammogram Nannyjan, lots of caring encouragement from you friends on here.
Difficult buying fabric online grandMattie and Scentia. Colours are never quite the same on our screens.
Those peanut butter cookies sound delicious Grandmabatty as done the lime cheesecake Beechnut.
I agree Elizabeth and GrannyGravy, Rick Stein is very entertaining, I especially enjoy his travels through Italy and France.
Hope the new car gives you pleasure baubles and the garage door is eventually sorted.
Marydoll what a waste of chocolate digestive biscuits ?
Take care Cherry with all those visits although I’m sure they all take every precaution.
Hope the loft visitor has been caught and disposed of Viridian so that you get a good nights sleep in you own bed tonight.
Last but not least thanks for sharing the blue sky and sunshine Grandmafrench.
Sending good wishes to all having wobbles, all with health worries and everyone else.

Good morning all. Raining here at the moment but it’s forecast dry after lunch so I’m hopeful of some outdoor exercise this afternoon. I like walking in the rain but fallen leaves make it slippery underfoot. On the other hand it keeps all the visitors away!

Morning everyone. I hope you are all keeping well. It's dull here in Sherwood but milder. I too have a mammogram booked for the 18th. The breast clinic is a building separate from the rest of the hospital. But l was reminded of how close the nurse will be to me. I will go but l can't say l'm not anxious. This will be my last one unless l request one in the future. I didn't realize l was due another. My last one l was on crutches as l had broken my ankle that year. My youngest sister is off to a private hospital today for an endoscopy it will be under the NHS but was fast tracked so that she wasn't waiting months. Hope you all have the best day you can.

Urmston I never knew there was an 'is this allowed' thread my DD will be very pleased as last time I called her she said "Oh Mum, just do what you think is right, you are not an idiot" Mmmm I might be though!!!!!
I would say it is most definitely essential for your DD to return your only form of safe transport, what if you get called for vaccine 50 miles away like my friend has!

Urmstongran, I would say you should get your car back.It will definitely be safer for you than using public transport and as your step dad is in your bubble will be much safer for him if you need to take him anywhere.

Big...not bug! ?

Lovely to hear you’re out and about, dusty.wishing hard for you! amselerin - sounds as if your dog might be related to mine. He won’t do cold, so recently with the bug unusual drop in temperatures here, I was forced to get out his red roll neck jumper! ?

Lots of good wishes to you all from a cold and frosty morning here. Yesterday was such a beautiful sunshine that the dog was willing to come for a walk. Lots have people had the same idea and went for a stroll. I was pleased to sees that all the little streams around here had filled up with water again. For 2 years they had completely dried up. Nothing exciting planned for today apart from getting the ironing board out. Maybe a what`sapp call to the family in England. Keep well and take care. x
