Good Morning Sunday

Megs, I hardly remember what day of the week it is. WHen retired, unless it's a particular day like, say, Sunday everyday is the same. More so since lockdown when the regular events that pepper the week have all been cancelled.

I always feel it is grossly unfair to ask people who are suspected to have dementia to aks the following questions {I shall try to learn them by heart when my turn comes] - what day is it today, what is the date, who is PM? [as if that impacted on day to day life?] and various other idiotic questions...

I had that in hospital. Who was my carer etc? They stopped half way through the questioning, when they realised I had all my marbles! I actually said not to ask me what day it was. I hadn't a clue, as I had been practically nowhere for a year. ?

Agree grandMartie, it’s often hard to know the day so don’t worry about that megs, I’m sure your head has been full of health worries too. I’m sorry you’ve both had such a difficult year, offload here whenever it helps. for you and all with health pressures. .

Megs36 please do unload. You have been and are still going through such a dreadful time which is sure to get you down. I do hope before the end of the year you and many like you can be closer physically to your family. Your post was certainly not boring. Sending a hug and some .

Good morning all from a chilly Glasgow but thankfully dry which means we can get outside. ?

Hopefully your promised blue envelope does arrive this week Marydoll ?

Best wishes for a good day all.

Good morning Mick and all from a chilly northwest coast, but no snow forecast for us.
Felt tired and slight strange yesterday after my jab on Friday but nothing to write home about and it’s worth it. A good excuse to cosy up by the fireside with iPad and book (can’t watch tv in the daytime) vivid dreams full of friends last night which reminded me of the time I had a very full life before this blinking pandemic.
There are practical jobs waiting, but I shall do some artwork and add collage into the mix.
I had a brandy last night as thought a drop of alcohol might help my high blood pressure but found it made me irritable and I turned into a bit of a keyboard warrior, getting involved on a music thread.
Thoughts to Georgesgran and anyone worried ?

Happy 70th birthday MrJans ???????

Why can’t you watch tv in the daytime, holly? Sinful? ?

Marydoll please phone your GP and ask why you’ve been left waiting. Maybe they think the hospital is taking care of your vaccine. I was a Practice Manager for 10 years (before I became a management trainer for 25) and took pride in looking after our patients. I would have been horrified if a vulnerable person was left worrying for want of a phone call!

The snow has arrived in Kent. Had about 2inches so far but they are saying that it’s here until Wednesday! I hate snow!!!
Quiet day planned after the excitement of the rugby yesterday. What a great Calcutta cup match.
DH is cooking later - his signature stir fry.
Stay safe all, good health to those feeling under the weather.

Good Afternoon Grandmafrench, Nio Chorio is Greek for new village, goodness knows why as it has been there for a long time and it is where we have our other home in Crete. My walk was lovely, bitterly cold but very refreshing.
Urmstongran, thank you so much for the SOAP recipe, it sounds delicious and will certainly be on the agenda for next week.
Mick, I would like to add a plea too that you consider a visor. My brother in law is exempt from a mask as he has heart problems and COPD, but we do worry about him going out without a mask and a visor is a sensible compromise we think.
The Drowning sounds interesting Gwenisgreat, which channel is it on please?
Well, I must go off and do some more jobs now. Hope you all enjoy your planned activities.

Borrheid, I have spoken to someone on the vaccine helpline.

Despite what the Govt promised, some of the vaccine appointments for shielders have even been organised yet! I was trying to work around hospital appointments ove rteh next two weeks.

Sorry for my rant earlier.

Greyduster I’ve just seen your photo. It’s beautiful. I can sense the peacefulness that snow brought to your road last night. I love how snow muffles sound.

*grandMattie” not a sin, but a treat to be kept for the evening!
It was a sin for my late DH who would look witheringly at anyone not doing something useful during the day. TV only allowed in the day for royal weddings or (for him) a special sport event.
To be frank, I do find something depressing about a TV on in the daytime.
