Good Morning Friday

Gingster unfortunately we didn’t go, but the Grandchildren go over to there on their bikes often, lots of fun and mud!!!

How lovely to see you back Mick, I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been unwell. Take very good care of yourself.

Good morning all, it’s a wet one here in South Lanarkshire, hoping it keeps up and shifts the rest of the snow.

Sorry to hear about the little calf sheep.

gMattie, I hope you feel better soon, take it easy today.

I’ll keep myself busy doing nothing very much. Wishing everyone a peaceful day.

Good morning Mick and all

Sorry to hear you have been in hospital Mick now is the time to rest and recover!

I was lazing on the sofa at 10 to 6 last night when my phone rang, it was the local clinic which is now a vaccination centre. Could I be there in 5 minutes as they had a dose left over and didn’t want to waste it (I was the closest to the clinic that was on their stand-by list) they threw on my boots and jacket and ran two minutes down the road and had the vaccine (Pfizer). Sore arm this morning and a bit fuzzy but homeschooling will sort me out!!!!

It’s brightening up here in my corner of S E Essex might get the baby in the pram for a walk.

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️

Good morning all from a bright northwest coast and glad you are home Mick after your fright.
I’m off for my vax today and had an early night last night, managing to avoid a daytime nap, but to no avail, a sleepless night. Apparently we never have a complete sleepless night, but it feels like it. Something seems to lock in the brain “That’s it” it says”no sleep for you” So lay there going over past injustices lol.
Wishing you all a good day.

Good morning from North Yorkshire. Good to see you back Mick. Look after yourself.
Food shopping and zoom meeting today. Probably not much of a walk as it is grey and gloomy.
Take care everyone and stay safe.

Good morning all. It's great to see you back at the helm Mick. Please take care of yourself. I'm off to the optician very soon so just a quick post. Have a good day all.

Good morning Mick and all . So pleased you’re back with us and hopefully recovering well. Thanks grandmattie for deputising so well ?.

Off for my walk with an old pal this morning. The weather should be ok ?. We’ll go to Hadleigh Country Park, (where the olympics were held in 2012 for the cycling events. It was great to go to and actually watch an Olympic event so close to home. Grannygravy And Sar - were you there? ?

Who watched The Drowning? What a load of drivel! I finished watching The Stranger on Netflix. Very tense and absorbing!

I’m reading The Dutch house for my next book club book. Anyone read it? Urms I expect you have . ??.

Wishing you all a pleasant day . Keep warm and no slipping over in all the snow that’s heading our way. ?⛄️

Good morning from a bright and sunny Essex by the sea.
Good to see you back Mick , glad our wonderful NHS looked after you so well.
A walk is on the cards for later and a new blind to be fitted in the bedroom.
Enjoy Friday and stay safe everyone xx

So pleased to see you back Mick.

Just popped in to tell Auntieflo I am thinking of her today.

Good morning all and a good morning mick from a very wet and windy east coast of Fife so sorry to hear of your recent event resulting in a hospital admission glad you’re back., keep well.
I was allowed out to play yesterday or should I say I was allowed out to attend an opticians appointment it was wonderful getting out for a bit even if I had to sit in the car people watching while my dh nipped into our local Lidl’s for a few or not so few items of food. Honestly himself would walk a couple of miles to save 2p on a pint of milk he got so excited at the reduced prices in Lidl’s. I think he got carried away with his good luck.anyway I don’t think we’ll starve for a few days. have a good day everyone keep safe cosy and well fed

Good morning from a brightening Colchester.
Happy to see you back where you belong Mick
DH has gone fishing and I have an exciting trip to Lidl.
DD2 is moving house today and we are sad that we are not able to help by taking DGS2 off their hands. They will be fine if frazzled by tonight.
Chinese takeaway tonight.

Good morning all and sorry to hear you’ve been poorly Mick. It’s good to see you back but do look after yourself.
A sad start to the day on the farm - I got up in the early hours to check the cctv camera we have on the calving shed to see a cow struggling with calving. We threw on some clothes and rushed down but by the time we got there, the calf had sadly not made it. These are the worst farming days. There’s a horrible feeling of ‘if onlys’ ......... if only I’d woken a hour earlier ...... if only the cow had started calving later.... if only ....?. There’s a saying in farming ‘where you have livestock you have dead stock’ but it still feels like you’ve failed them when things go wrong. Had the twin calves that were born a few days ago been a bit younger, I would have tried adopting one onto the calf-less cow but they are too bonded to their mum now so instead I shall have to see if the dairy farmer next door has a new calf we can adopt onto her. She’s full of milk and looking for her calf - so sad.
Onwards and upwards - there are too many other expectant mums to be on the farm needing looking after so can’t dwell, but I do feel wretched.
Wishing you all a good day. marydoll- I think it’s today that your friends baby is being delivered? Hoping all goes well and that baby arrives safely

Good morning all, so glad to see you back Mick and on the mend.
Welcome grantilly to this lovely thread.
I am still not feeling great so will try to get an appointment to speak to dr or nurse today, think I may need some antibiotics, definitely need a good nights sleep!
The boys have been stars again this morning and are up breakfasted and dressed under their own steam, and teeth cleaned, which is the usual battle I have.
Have a good day all

Good morning from a clear and chilly Torbay.

It’s wonderful to welcome you back, Mick and what a joy to see so many folk on here this morning who aren’t regular contributors but followers, nevertheless. I hope you continue to recover well at home. That might involve some adjustments to your medication and I'm sure your GP will support you.

I’m late this morning as I couldn’t settle last night. It must have been the excitement of going out twice yesterday (!) as I had a blood test and dental appointment. Eventually, I decided I felt hungry and a mashed banana did the trick!

NanKate: photos of your joyful jogging, please! Hope you soon feel well, grandMattie and thinking of how sad life is currently as we can’t attend funerals, Pantglass.

Wishing everyone an easement of pain and worries and a fabulous Friday! ?

Morning Mick, morning All. Dark and damp in our corner of Somerset. Relieved you’re back and well Mick. Take care now.

A head full of concerns has kept me away for a while, began to read again yesterday. Good news about the new roofers kitty, your decorating style made me smile Scentia. A very happy birthday to your granddaughter gagagran.

Routine day ahead, finish the filing I began yesterday, organise some fish and chips help Mr C finish (please!) his latest jigsaw, a walk if the weather lets us. Look after yourselves everyone.

Good morning all. It's currently dry here in Derbyshire...for now.

Welcome back Mick and thanks to grandMattie for deputising.

Hope everyone is feeling well and has a good day.

Good morning everyone .my first post on here .but have been reading this lovely thread for about a year .just wanted to say so pleased you are back Mick ,take care and wish you well .
Hope everyone has a good day

Good morning from France, Great to see you are back Mick, wishing you a quick recovery to your normal self.

Wishing everyone a good day

Morning all and a warm welcome back to Mick. You have really been missed and we were all worrying about you!

Maybe your funny "turns" recently were a warning that your heart was a bit awry? Anyway, the NHS has done its stuff and hopefully you will make a full recovery ready for spring and summer.

8.6c this morning here on the south coast but there appears to be some of the white stuff on the forecast for Sunday. OH NO! We moved from the Pennines to get away from that! It won't last long here though so no panic stations.

DH is having a cycle ride with his friend this morning which always puts a smile on his face and makes me relieved that he isn't out alone. When he was so ill last summer he thought his cycling days were over for ever so every trip out is a bonus.

Our youngest DGD is 16 today and could never be described as "sweet 16" but is a very dear and very loved girl with such determination that she will, for sure, make her mark on the world.

Hope today is a good one and brings better things for all those who need them.

Keep safe.

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it is still dark and wet.
Michael. Welcome back, I am sure you can read just how much you were missed. We all hope you are feeling better and on the road to recovery.
Work this morning and then a weekend of lazing about gor me I think.
DD called yesterday to tell me her and DSiL were decorating DGS bedroom and DSiL is talking sh&t and knows nothing about decorating, he wants to put masking tape over the window frames and woodwork??. Oh dear, I think I have taught her the speedy way to decorate, I didn’t get the nick name ‘Bodge the builder’ for nothing???. I listened carefully and kept out of that one!
Have a good day everyone and stay safe.❤️

Good morning all and a huge welcome back from me Mick. Lovely to see you and, you are right, the nhs continues to be brilliant.

The weather in North Leicestershire seems calm though it did rain over night!

The new roofmen arrived at 8.00 yesterday with no warning. It appears the email warning us went into DH's junk file. They were lovely and are helping us collect evidence of the mistakes made by the previous ones.

Sending best wishes to everyone.

I’m so pleased to see you back Mick . Take good care of yourself now , watch out for any ‘odd’ symptoms and get straight on to your GP or 111.
I nagged at you last year as I recognised your symptoms from my dear dad and will continue to do so out of concern!

Good morning from an overcast E Kent.
I’m here, Pant, just didn’t rush knowing that our dear Mick was back. Welcome back, BTW. Sorry to hear about health issues and hope the reeked medication helps.
Not feeling 100% probs due to my sh*t, didn’t sleep that well.
Bedding to wash today, oh joy! Nothin on otherwise.
I hope that all those who are absent are ok, that the sorrowful, those in pain or distress have a gentle day. Stay safe. X

Good to see you back Mick and sorry to hear of your health worries.

Take care.

Welcome back Mick. Take care of yourself?
