Thank you all you lovely people! I went back to bed, had the chills , a headache and felt queasy, DH is pleased as he thinks that (7 days later) I have had a reaction to the Covid Jab!!
All fine now, deep breath and on we go......

Lovely day here in Cheshire. The sun is shining A little warmer, so perhaps some gardening.

Cass64 Thu 18-Feb-21 12:27:40

Hi everyone, I just slipped in someone must have left the door open...

Thursdays always a busy day here , dogs to walk shopping to do and deliveries to two friends who are isolating..

But I thought I would just add my Good Morning /Good Afternoon to the post.

Urmstongran I too had my Covid Vaccination yesterday lunchtime. Felt fine until bedtime, then had a really restless night and woke up with my arm aching and aches and pains in my back and hips. Not really got a headache (yet!) just feeling a bit under the weather. Hoping this is as bad as it gets ?

Lauranorder banging, head, brick wall springs to mind. ?

Susan56 Thu 18-Feb-21 11:34:38

Cherry,it’s good to hear from you?sorry you have been so unwell?

Good news about Iris too grandMattie,what a little trooper?

Grandmafrench, I think we may have had the same thoughts about the PM situation?

Urmstongran hope the side effects wear off soon?

Late good morning from me. Up early for a more than early hospital appointment some distance away. Reassuring visit. Spinal issues to be monitored by the very pleasant person I saw today. For now it’s carry on regardless. I’m to phone him immediately if anything changes. The NHS at its best.

Good to hear Iris is well after her surgery grandMattie. We all get bleak periods. It’s been a heck of a few months for sure and bound to have an impact. Mojos seem to be in hiding for many of us.

flowers for us all today with extra flowers for those finding life extra hard going just now. Look after yourselves everyone.

Good morning fromS Lanarkshire, just taking my coffee and crumpet break, (I did consider giving up crumpets for Lent but decided I would just walk on hot coals instead) and I’ll read all the posts later but I want to send?to grandMattie, it’s horrible when you feel as you are doing today, I really think we all do sometimes as we get older, especially just now when we feel we can’t make any real difference in anyone’s lives. You do however, you must know what a strong presence you are on this thread and how much you contribute to the generous and positive atmosphere that we all benefit from. Tomorrow will be better!
Good wishes to everyone

Mapleleaf Thu 18-Feb-21 11:22:16

grandMattie, I've tried to send you a pm, but don't think it's gone (or else it has, threefold! ?), but the gist of it was just as Ashcombe posted upthread.
Take care ??

gillgran Thu 18-Feb-21 11:12:31

Good Morning to you all from a mild, but very wet Cambs.,

Sorry that many have extra problems & pain, several of us are feeling rather low just now.
I send you all warm wishes. flowers.

Lots of you post such lovely words, I often think "oh yes that's how I feel too".
I wish there was a "like" button, as I agree with so many of you. smile.

Take Care, Good Folk.

Blossoming Thu 18-Feb-21 10:52:23

Good morning all from a mild sunny Lancashire. It was raining earlier and more showers are forecast, but there’s no wind and it’s feeling much warmer. Not much planned for today, other than a walk after lunch.

Have a peaceful day all.

Good Morning all from wet, miserable Harrogate. At the moment I await my Morrisons delivery - it's just arrived!! I'm seriously thinking of going back to Asda for my deliveries - I liked their recurring slots.
Well, Morrisons have some quaint ways! I wanted some pineapple to nibble (keep me away from chocolate) I've got 4 packs and paid for two!! with a sell by date of 20th Feb. Two packets of dried apricots instead of one, I have paid for one!!

grandMattie sorry you are feeling down, probably pent up anxiety about Iris, she proved herself to be a trouper last time and she will again!
Yesterday DD1 came with GD to have a walk with DH, after DD and GD went to the park so I went to the park to meet them and met two friends!! I felt quite elated when I got back home!!

There are so many of you missing - hope to see your cheery news soon. Chins up! Tomorrow will be better

Auntieflo Thu 18-Feb-21 10:36:49

Oops I forgot Georgesgran, flowers.

Auntieflo Thu 18-Feb-21 10:35:43

Good morning Mick, *Annie and all.
Beechnut, you didn't go to grammar school in Isleworth, did you? We had trees as House names.

Off for my biopsy in a mo, but just thought I would pop in here first. So many posts and will have to read later.

flowers for GrandMattie, and Cherrychezzie. flowers

Have to get my coat now. See you all later.
Have a good day one and all.

Good Morning all. It was blue skies at 8:00 now 10:00 and rain but more blue skies expected. Hope so. Another long walk with Mya at near by NT property. No cattle grazing now. Had to detour the walks there last year. I got chased and had to let Mya's lead go or they would have trampled her.

S&C. Such a busy life on the farm. Lovely news about the calf. Does it have a name yet? Hope you've got plenty of supplies in the caravan to see you through.

I too love a market Marydoll. The big one at Truro will start again soon I hope. I miss my day out there. Our outside lights are abysmal. No street lights as we're at the end of a long track. I wear a head torch constantly. It blinds the sainsbury's delivery man/woman if they arrive in the dark. The two lights we fitted 4 years ago keep shorting out. ~Must make a decision on what to do as the path around the cottage is doing to be altered this year, mainly due to the lighting we need in getting out to the log store.

Have a good Thursday everyone.

Grandmafrench Thu 18-Feb-21 10:26:07

Good Morning lovely peoples - Tail End Charlie here! After a glorious sit in the garden weather day yesterday, drizzly for today. Still, it keeps us on our toes.

In no particular order, chaps: Morning Grammaretto, the Queen of CheerUp vibes - hope you are doing well. Imagine booking a staycation in a Sheep Maternity Ward, sheep, have you lost the plot? It seriously sounds like a real plan, though, and will hopefully allow some round the clock care for your ladies, and not have poor you running around the farm in the dark and too much worrying at night. We’re all waiting with great excitement for the first photo! A Mum and baby doing well photo. We only had 19 ewes - but they all had twins. You can imagine my surprise and delight. Our very first were Baaasil and Baaarbara - Scottish Blackface and so beautiful.

NannyJan poor you. Middle ear infection or maybe you’ve hurt your neck? Don’t suffer in silence too long. NanKate be good and finish the course.

Mattie Just stop it! You’re definitely allowed to feel down - we’re all here for you. But don’t say you’re useless, because that’s just not true! ? Read Ash’s earlier post again! Sending you hugs and smiling with relief at Iris’ progress. ?.

Cherry. Yay! Lovely to see you. I have my own suspicions about the ‘strange’ PM situation!!!!!!!!! To all those I’m out of touch with - thinking of you and sending love and hugs. We all are suffering from a lack of hugs - I’m surprised we don’t have imaginary friends now for company in some of our do nothing days.

Oopsa What ‘awful post’ ? Aren’t you just speaking from your heart? ?. Poor you, Urms - just lie still and do nothing at all until you feel better. At least you know you’re not suffering alone! ?. Give Microsoft a kick from me, grannysyb. Hope you’re o.k. , and sending love to you Ellan the Crumpet Queen. Laura Hello hello......you should be a lot more concerned about the weather you’re dumping on poor Pants ?.

I’d love to stay and chat and waste even more of your time, but I have loads of friends visiting today, so must get on with my chores.........?. So, take good care everyone, especially anyone wobbly or weepy. Thinking of you, Georgesgran and AuntieFlo. Be good to yourselves and have the best day you can all.

?‍♀️???

CherryCezzy Thu 18-Feb-21 10:10:22

I don't like the sound of your dizzy spells NannyJan. Do you have blood pressure problems by any chance? I agree with NanKate, a call to the Dr can't do any harm ?

Oopsadaisy and Urmstongran flowers

I want to thank everyone who have sent me well wishes this morning, it does mean a lot ?

By the way, the ? has come out here so I'm sending some to all of you - ?

grandMattie Thu 18-Feb-21 10:05:36

Sorry, keep on remembering people I want to mention - I don’t miss anyone out on purpose.
Ash, thank you for your kind word, Marydoll, baubles, et al, you have made me feel much less sad.
Urms, I hope your headache goes. The side effects of OAZ seem to ambush loads of us and, curiously, in many different ways.
??????❤️☀️

NannyJan53 Thu 18-Feb-21 10:03:27

Thank you NanKate I will phone Doctors if it persists, but last time it happend it just disappeared the next day.

Sar53 I have been on the website, but the nearest one is too far away, and I have heard reports of massive queues. Whereas my Doctors are doing it literally a 10 minute walk away. If I don't hear by the end of the week, I may have to go to the Black Country Museum.

grandMattie Thu 18-Feb-21 10:02:41

Oh, baubles, lucky you! How lovely.
Another Iris update. Her mum hopes they’ll be allowed home today.
My reading is that a) the operation wasn’t as serious as the first, b) she recovered very well from the previous one so there is no reason for her to stay in.
We’ll see and I’ll keep you lovely people updated! ❤️

NanKate Thu 18-Feb-21 09:55:54

Thanks Sparklefizz for your concern. I’m feeling a bit better but not 100%. I must learn to be patient.

Sorry NannyJ to hear of your dizziness. Could it be an inner ear infection? I would give the doc a call if it continues. ?

Marydoll Thu 18-Feb-21 09:55:23

Baubles, what a lovely start to your day!

baubles Thu 18-Feb-21 09:53:32

Popping back in to share my happiness. Daughter-out-law just FaceTimed with the two little ones. She’s never done that before, not sure why and neither has DS despite me asking once or twice, although I know he hates video calling so I haven’t pushed it.

Anyhoo it was just wonderful to see their little faces and have a fairly one sided chat with them. Happy Grandma now. smile

grandMattie Thu 18-Feb-21 09:51:56

Just heard fromDD. Iris (and she) had an expected disturbed night, but all is going as planned.

You ladies are SO lovely. ?☀️? ❤️ Thank you for all your encouragement. Sadly, out of the blue the black dog or puppy in this case, descends. It goes but is unpleasant while it lasts. ☹️

LauraNorder Thu 18-Feb-21 09:49:37

Thanks Marydoll.
