Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark but its raining outside this morning here in Brackley ,I am expecting my Parsley Box meals order today via DHL .
Yesterday , picked up prescriptions and noticed that Boots like many chemists have reduced the number of people allowed in the shop to 3.
Normally this time of year , if I had not booked to see a stage show already ,I would be browsing through the leaflet which I get from the local travel trip organiser selecting the breaks etc for the year .
Take Care,
Mick

Kitty I meant to say that I’m glad your son is home and on the mend. You must be relieved it wasn’t covid.

Urmstongran Tue 12-Jan-21 09:35:18

Personally or on your device BlueSapphire?
The latter I hope!

Hello and good morning to everyone from a very dull and wet Northampton. Don't think I'll be venturing out for a walk in this. Must try and get some housework (!) done instead.

So sorry to hear your news AuntieFlo flowers. Best wishes for your future treatment which let us hope will soon be forthcoming.

I too think that unexpected Amazon parcels are a scam; I seem to remember reading about it somewhere. I would advise doing nothing at the moment.

My battery is running down, so will wish everyone the best day.

Urmstongran Tue 12-Jan-21 09:32:36

Oh that’s wonderful news to share with us gma. Every jab counts towards UK freedom!
?

Meant to say hope your consultation with your neurologist goes well Elizabeth1 and the same for your blood tests NanKate. x

Good morning Mick and all from dry Anglesey where the sun is shining on bright green fields after last nights rain.
I am so sorry to hear your news Auntieflo, must have knocked you for six. As has been said this is what we are all here for, care and support.
The flowers for Auntieflo Nortsat are lovely.
Missed you yesterday Pant, hope the new car gives lots of pleasure. Another here who apparently purrs.
Agree with others Scentia, time to put the car shunt in the hands of your insurers.
Hope your husbands op goes ahead and is successful Beauregard.
Oh dear Viridian sorry to hear your unwanted visitor is still about. Hope the pest controller sorts it out for you.
Sorry to hear the sad news about your friends and neighbour Marydoll, certainly makes you grateful for your own recent good outcome. You’re right we must all stop footing about and do it, whatever it is.
I’m thinking that a long walk, within the rules of course, is the order of the day.
Wishing you all the best day you can manage and a better tomorrow.

Good morning from a frosty NE.
DH got a call yesterday to get his vaccination on Thursday.
Family wanted to know if I would get it at the same time, alas no, I am in a different age band.
I am tucked up in bed hiding as there is a workman in the house and we have opened windows to keep the air moving.
Sorry to hear your news Auntieflo but as I keep saying to DH medicine is very advanced now.
Thinking of you Marydoll

Good morning from North Yorkshire. It’s a lovely sunny day so will be going out for a walk at some point.
I also need to take some things to the tip.
Auniteflo so sorry to hear your news ??
Marydoll take it easy.
Beauregard best wishes for your DH’s op.
Hope everyone has the best day they can. Stay safe.

Good Morning ,Mick and Everyone from Cumbria where 3 dreary days of grey drizzle have given way to a sunny and lightly frosty day.
I shall be gritting my teeth and getting on with some necessary housework and then hope to go out for a little walk and work up to fitness again.
I'm beginning to feel like Robinson Crusoe here but hope I won't be spending so long as him before rescue comes along!

Greyduster Tue 12-Jan-21 09:19:00

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. A dry, brightening South Yorkshire day, so maybe a walk, although where I don’t know because all the off road routes are so muddy which makes walking a trial. It might have to be a trek around the village. No idea what we will eat today - like others, I’m fed up of cooking at the moment.
AuntieFlo I was sorry to hear your news. I hope you get good treatment and soon.???
Have the best day you can folks.

gma Tue 12-Jan-21 09:17:58

DH had COVID vaccination this morning, thank goodness. After earlier problems with penicillin allergy it was a great relief to get it done! Great work N H S ????????

NannyJan53 Tue 12-Jan-21 09:15:30

Good morning from a dull and damp Black Country.

No real plans again today, cannot wait until the weather brightens up, so we can get out in the garden.

We have an electrician booked for Thursday, but I think we will put him off for a while. Luckily it is not an urgent job, but will feel bad about cancelling.

Scentia I would definitely contact your insurers. I had a car hit mine on the drive 6 years ago. Insurance sorted it very quickly, and it was written off. I wouldn't let a 'mate' anywhere near it!

Good luck with the test results NanKate

Auntieflo I echo grandMatties words. We are all here for you to offload flowers

kitty that is such a relief about your DS.

Hoping your DH's op goes well Beauregard

Hugs and flowers to Marydoll

Wishing you all a good day

Nannytopsy Tue 12-Jan-21 09:09:41

Good morning Mick and all his followers.
Grey skies here in Suffolk after rain overnight. I will finish off the decorating in the bathroom today. It was delayed by home schooling yesterday. ?
I really wish it would stop raining now - there is gardening to be done!
? for Auntieflo, Beauregard, Marydoll and everyone else with worries and sadness. Glad to hear of the negative Covid results for some, like *Kitty’s” DS.
Lovely DH never admits that I snore but DD&DSIL are very vocal about it. How rude!
Better get moving I suppose. I hope the day is kind to everyone.

Stilllearning Tue 12-Jan-21 09:01:11

Morning from S Lanarkshire, frosty but lovely bright skies here. Slept on this morning so will read posts later, I stopped at Beauregard, good luck to your husband for his op. Didn’t get out yesterday, it was really windy here but definitely a walk today. I don’t know why but I realise I am reluctant when it comes to it.
Have a good day everyone.

Auntie Flo flowers

Nortsat Tue 12-Jan-21 08:48:37

Good morning Mick and the GM team from east London where it is grey.

Auntieflo flowers for you. And I second GrandmaFrench in her kind and wise words. Take the time needed to steady yourself and hold on to your lovely husband.

Sorry to hear you’re feeling low Marydoll.
Hope all goes well for your husband Beauregard.

Admin, housework and hopefully a walk for me today.
We had takeaway pizza last night, not something we do very often at all, but I suddenly found I was sick of cooking.

Have a good day, all. Keep warm, stay safe and ‘let’s be careful out there’.

Kalu Tue 12-Jan-21 08:47:24

Good morning all from a frosty Glasgow. There is a pink tinge to a bright sunrise so hoping this is a sign of some sunshine today.

Main task this morning is to attend to bird feeders. Rock salt will be needed to avoid any more spills on the ice.

I am so sorry to read your news Auntieflo. My best wishes for any forthcoming treatment and my dearest wish, this will result in a positive outcome for you ?

Hope everyone has a good enough day as we continue to plod on.

Good morning from a grey, damp Colchester. Feels a little warmer than of late.
DH has borrowed an excercise bike from his usual gym and will be in the garage doing online spin classes. He is also allowed to go fishing for a couple of hours locally. This gives me a bit of precious time to myself.
I will walk to Lidl and get the ingredients for this week's meals.

Big hugs to all especially Auntiflo flowers

Sparklefizz Tue 12-Jan-21 08:38:48

Good morning Mick and all GNs from damp South Glos.

Auntieflo I am so sorry to read your bad news. As a fellow breast cancer survivor, my heart goes out to you. Sending virtual hugs and my very best wishes for some suitable treatment.

Hope your husband's op goes well Beauregard. No last minute postponements. And good luck with the blood test NanKate.

Love the photos Ashcombe. Always good to see something uplifting.

My AC gave me theatre tokens for Christmas '19. I was going to use them last March and rang the theatre who have marked them forward a year. Suspect I will have to ring them again for a further postponement. Have no fear, Mick, we will get our theatre trips at some point in the future smile

Thoughts to all who are ill or struggling. Hope you all have the best day possible. x

Marydoll Tue 12-Jan-21 08:26:56

Good morning all from a chilly Glasgow, where its -3° C.
Mick, I too miss going two shows. The last one we went to was War Horse, a gift from two Christmases away!
The Genesis concert we have booked has been postponed twice, who knows if we will ever get!

Sending my warmest wishes and prayers to Auntiflo, who has been a very supportive and kind friend throughout my own troubles. ?

Beauregard, I can understand your husband's anxiety, its only natural. It will be over before you know it. Sending my best wishes to you both.

Baubles, hope you got the new car. My friend, the Ebay queen has told me to look out of the window later. She has exchanged her mini for a soft top, convertible Smart car. ?
I'm raging at her, everyone in Rome drives them and I have always lusted after a red sporty one!! ?
To keep the battery topped up, DH is going to have to squeeze into my car this morning and take it for a run, since I'm not allowed to drive just now. He thoroughly dislikes my bright yellow car, too small, too bright ? and not good for his image!!!! ?

I'm feeling very low this morning. Yesterday I found out that two people, whom I know very well from church were in A&E at the same time as me last week. One died yesterday morning, (it looks Covid related, his family are all now in isolation for fourteen days) and the other has had a stroke.
Then the Ebay queen phoned over to tell me her next door neighbour has also had a stroke. We are a very close knit community here in our wee cul de sac, as we have all been here for over twenty five years.
All this sad news has hit me quite hard, therefore for the grace of God go I. I am so fortunate to have come home from hospital relatively unscathed. ?

Now that my second Covid test has come back negative, I'm going to try and walk around the cul de sac today to try and get my strength back up. I seem to be permanently exhausted.

Look after yourselves dear friends and seize the moment, don't footer about, putting things off. Do it now!!!

Grandmafrench Tue 12-Jan-21 08:26:48

Burdening us? You silly old AuntieFlo you. Isn’t this one of the reasons we all get on so well, problem sharing, solving, supporting, laughing and crying and helping each other? I can barely think how upset you must feel at the news. Cling on to your lovely DH until you feel calm but please come on here to tell us about how you are and what plans are in place for your treatment - because we really care.
Take a deep breath today, hunt for your biggest girl pants and stay positive. Wishing you all the help and treatment, reassurance and support you need and sending love to you. ? ??

Susan56 Tue 12-Jan-21 08:26:32

Good morning from Staffordshire.Childcare today so a 4.45 start.The drive down was a bit hairy as a lot of floodwater on the roads?DH in charge today as I still don’t feel 100%.

GrannyGravy,your day today is our Thursday and Friday and I agree it’s exhausting?Last week was our first week so we were totally unprepared.Any advice gratefully received!We are used to looking after the two but the homeschooling takes it to a whole new level!

Scentia, I would advise the insurance route.Our neighbour reversed into my car on the drive and never paid up?

Auntie fly, I am so sorry to hear your news and echo what grandmattie says.

Hope your DH’s operation goes ahead and is successful Beau.

Hope Mary and Cherry have had a restful night.

Have the best day you can everyone.

Lins1066 Tue 12-Jan-21 08:25:48

Good morning Mick and all, it is much milder here on the S Welsh coast. I'm sorry you've had bad news Auntieflo.
I hope your DH's op goes well 'Beauregard*.
We have a Sainsbury's delivery this morning, some items are not available. My hair appointment was cancelled before Christmas because of lockdown so I cut it myself yesterday with a thinning scissors, needs must. Mr Lins is refusing to let me cut his, I wonder why... Oh dear we seem to have been here before I seem to remember!I
Hope Susan is feeling better today, also that Cherry is well and that you are resting Marydoll.
Stay safe everyone.

Pantglas2 Tue 12-Jan-21 08:25:24

Morning all from dry north Wales where I’m lolling abed with the chamberpot ☕️?

I’m another who picked up a new (to me) car yesterday Baubles which is why I didn’t post - by the time we’d picked it up and popped into Lidl for shopping it was afternoon!

Hope all goes well for your DH Beauregard and sorry to hear your news AuntieFlo, what a bugger life can be ?hope your neurologist puts your mind at rest Elizabeth, must be a strange feeling to have that happen!

I’m another that doesn’t snore - I simply purr......?

kittylester Tue 12-Jan-21 08:22:45

Good morning all from a soggy North Leicestershire. Not too much in the hall - yippee!!

I'm sorry to hear your new Auntieflo and best wishes to your DH Beauregard.

We've had a fraught couple of days. DS1 has been in hospital with a high temperature, achy joints and fast heart rate. The paramedics were absolutely fabulous and he had brilliant care in hospital. He had 2 covid tests - thankfully, both negative. He is home now with strong antibiotics for a chest infection.

Thank goodness for our brilliant NHS.
