Good Morning Wednesday

Cherry I would be so churned up worrying what was unfolding next door. It’s not the noise that would bother me to the violence especially with little girls in the toxic mix. Hopefully they are in school now, poor frightened mites. This isn’t good for your own well being either. I do hope this dreadful situation gets resolved properly for all concerned.

? for you today Auntieflo with your anxiety concerning your treatment. I’m in awe at your fortitude to be honest. You are one amazing woman.

Thoughts then led me to dragonfly. If you are reading dear lady I’m sending you a hug in these difficult times. And of course our gillybob - much loved on here who hasn’t returned.
?

You sound more upbeat today EV - another strong woman I admire very much.

And no news yet from our marydoll. Life is so difficult for you just lately with your frightening angina after any exertion. You take care of yourself you are very precious on here.

Had to laugh Jaxjacky when you said ‘racing’. It made me think of my ?
?

That's awful CC hope things get sorted .when they were little my DD and friend liked to sit in paddling pool in the rain when we had a summer shower. Sending hugs to all those not feeling 100%.

What beautiful daffs with their orange petticoats Auntieflo x

Morning everyone from a wet and windyOxfordshire, not had time to read all of the posts, but will pop back in later.
DH was given 2 flamingos for his 50th I think that they are still under the lilac tree somewhere, I pull them out and wash them off each spring......they are still pink after 20 yrs!
Still doing my Nursing bit for DD who came out of hospital last Thursday, I feel for how poorly poor iris must be , my DD has been in enormous pain and due to a mix up at the hospital( im being polite here) the pain control left a lot to be desired, so she discharged herself, said she would rather be in agony at home, than left all day on her own in tears, anyway, all sorted and she is on the mend.
Have a good day everyone and I k of some have real problems so a special virtual hug for all those who need it ?
PS, not real flamingoes.........

Aw,CherryCezzy I really feel for you with all that goes on next to you and no, it won't do your health any good at all. Don't let the situation stop you from posting as it will help you get it off your chest. x

Good morning all from a very wet grey Lancashire. It’s been raining steadily all morning. I don’t think I’ll be able to have a walk out today, but I’m suffering with a very sore neck and shoulder this morning so probably a good idea to stay in. Anyway, I’m up, showered, dressed, stretched and glowing rosily ? Yoga on the agenda for this afternoon.

Sending best wishes to all Grans.

Good morning Mick and all from a wet northwest Lancashire coast. Bubbled son here which is lovely after weeks alone and last night cooked braised beef. Practically forgotten how to cook a largish meal as dont faff about for one and feel I have practically been a professional cook after years of it, day in day out. So nice to have smells permeating through the house again with garlic, herbs etc. We battled each other through university challenge and he handed me a Xmas present from my granddaughter ?grapefruit soap, glue for my card making and a mascara primer. He’s keeping our family tradition going as my mother would reach behind the sofa for a Xmas present in August...
Also a jolly face time with my sister and nephew in the south.
Not going out today, will carry on card making and avoiding the housework.
Thinking of anyone troubled.

Sending big hugs to Auntieflo and Cherry.???

Thank you Gwenisgreat ? it's good to hear that your dog doesn't need the vet anymore ?

I know people on this thread care Gingster. That's one of the special things about Mick's thread ?. Thank you for caring too, and you Nannytopsy and you Oldbutstilluseful ???. In fact, for all the caring goodmorningers ?.

Auntieflo, this specific bunch are for you .

Good Morning all from wet and windy Harrogate - no wasging out today!!
Cherrycezzy. I really sympathise with you. When I was small we lived in a semi in Chester, the couple in the adjoining bedroom to the one my sister and I shared where always yelling and shouting at one another. I still get worried when people shout at each other, 70 + years later! We moved away when I was 5 so don't know the end of the story!
Good News!! The vet doesn't need to see the dog any more - she's certainly more perky, barking at everyone.

Probably a bit of baking later after which nothing planned so will be busy doing nothing - apart from a zoom meeting this evening with the church to discuss it's future after our minister retired!!

Have as good a day as possible, tomorrow is another day!!

Good morning from a wet and windy South Yorkshire.
Nothing exciting on the agenda again today, just the usual household chores followed by a bit of reading.

Lovely daffodils, Auntieflo. I think the ones with the orange trumpets are especially pretty.

Good news about the vaccine rollout starting to get going in Germany, Hiraeth.

Take care out there, everyone.

Good morning from soggy Sefton where it is tippling down.

Thank you for another delightful account of the maternity ward, sheep. I do enjoy learning about your ladies and their lambs. I must check for lambs in the fields here. On the coast, roaming freely in a huge sectioned area of the dunes, we have cows which the farmer has fitted with trackers. Her intention is that people can and will easily locate them. The result is the cows are very confident and friendly - they love to be hand fed carrots.

The news of Mrgaga’s steady improvement is encouraging and I’m glad to learn about the roll out of vaccines in Germany. Iris is one very brave and commendable young lady. I am totally in awe of her.

Sending a flamboyance of flamingoes to those with worries and troubles. Have the best day you can everyone.
???????????????????????

Good Morning All x.
Quite a damp start to the day. It looks as though it's been raining for a while. High winds are forecast for the early hours of tomorrow, never like those, being so open here.

I think the planned trip to M&S tomorrow will be cancelled as there's no point in venturing out when the weather's bad if there's no real need. I'll wait and see.

It's well to see that the clocks will be going forward soon as my body seems to realise this both at night then in the morning. It's the same every year at this time of the year----most peculiar, my body clock jumps forward with it naturally adjusting with the time difference.

In between doing my paperwork yesterday I gave myself a breather and had an hours chin-wag in the garden with the neighbour while she exercised the little dog. We were discussing getting veggies growing in tubs as soon as the weather picks up, to give us an interest as well as the end product. Looking forward to that.

Good to hear that you managed to have a decent rest from the midwifery demands Sheepandcattle . Quite the divas, those ewes---fetch me carry me . Still, if you can get a couple more of those long sleeps they'll do wonders for your well-being.

Thinking of little Iris and her "adjustments" as she grows, she's so brave Grandmattie. It's so kind of you to let us into her life, she's doing so well.

Glad to hear that your DH is on the mend Gagagran, slowly but surely does it, he'll get there. Thank goodness the tube's gone, that's a start.

Just remembered to get some chicken slices out of the freezer for chicken Korma and rice today, a nice and easy meal to do. I enjoy it too

Hope Auntieflo's okay and is managing to eat a bit of what she fancies to encourage the appetite.

Also thoughts to anyone who's ill or anxious including our absent friends. Things will get better.

Have a good day everyone, take care and stay safe. xx

Flowers, Vase, Plonk - love it! Be a good name for a florist! They look lovely, Auntieflo

Gorgeous daffs too, Auntie Flo.

Good morning from Cheshire. Never post very early as like to type on my desktop computer so wait until chores ( such as they are ) are done and I am organised. Have only read page one so far but love the story of the entitled sheep ! Beautiful lily Jaxjacky.
Pouring with rain here so no sun to show up any dust ! Every cloud hides the missed dust as the saying goes !
DGD ( age 19) moving into her own little flat ( rented ) soon and I have offered to buy a microwave for a gift. Haven't a clue how much they cost so better get online and check then I'll give her enough cash to choose her own.
Have a good day all.

Good morning Mick, Annie and all, from a dull and drizzly bit of Berks.
My goodness, what happened to Tuesday? I have just got round to reading all the posts, and what a lot of bizziness going on. So I will try and properly read today's posts, in a bit.
I had a disturbed night, with bad dreams, and I haven't had those for a long time. Mind you I think it may be to do with the proposed treatment that will be coming my way soon. It has made me feel really down, and I don't like it.
The lamp that I had ordered, ages ago, finally arrived on Monday afternoon, but of course we didn't have a bulb with the correct fitting. So in a swift-ish dash to town, we bought two! Or at least I thought we had. When we got home and unpacked, I discovered that I (it's my fault) had picked up one with the wrong wattage. I wonder if the shop will swop it?
My friend appeared with a couple of books, some cake and bunches of daffodils, in the bud. They have now opened and are so pretty. You can see I am a graduate of the Flowers, Vase, Plonk, school of flower arranging. Lisagran, help!
DH has arranged for someone to come and fix the scratch on the car. It isn't a big one, he couldn't find it yesterday, but as the car is still new, we didn't want it to get worse.
I have also arranged for a lady to come and see what needs doing in the garden, weeding wise. She sounds lovely, and will come on Friday.
It sounds as though Marydoll, has been overdoing things again. Please don't. We need you here.
EV, big bouquets of ? for you and your family
To Iris a flamingo medal for bravery.
Hoping Gagagran DH is slowly feeling better.
To all those I have missed, I hope you soon feel that better things are around the corner.
Sending a bi to Gillybob
Have a good day one and all.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a windy, wet South Yorkshire. The wind kept me awake last night, and it’s still blowing hard, so we won’t be going far today. It’s going to be a cleaning day, I think. There is some work being done on a driveway a few doors up and it’s all very noisy, but at least the rain will keep the dust from the slab cutting down. These things must be borne.
Sheep glad to hear you gave in and got some sleep; always have a smile at your stories from the shed!
Have the best day you can folks.

I’m truly sorry you are having to deal with neighbour problems CC. You certainly have enough to cope with without them making your life a misery.

I completely understand how much this can impact every aspect of your life. I suffered for several years but was very lucky. They were tenants and defaulted on their rent, thank goodness. And yes, I had contacted the owner and management company without success, until the money stopped rolling in.

?for you dear lady.

Good morning Mick and all his followers. I hope you enjoy your cycling. We are slowly becoming nocturnal - later and later coming to bed, then a lie in every morning! A wet and windy day doesn’t encourage me to get going ...
Ironing today, then finish DGD’s knitted blanket - at last! Also, the new photograph albums to complete. I want them finished for the first meet up with the
family.
I hope the neighbours have been sorted, at least for today Cherry.
Let the day be kind to us all.

I feel sorry for the poor woman Cherry and her twins too but your own health is equally important. So frustrating for you that the authorities don’t appear to be monitoring the situation as it is clear, social services need to be more involved.
I hope someone takes action to deal with the situation. ??

Good morning everyone from a wet but not windy south Manchester. I slept the sleep of the just last night. In one bit of my dreaming I had the most beautiful horse. I wanted to tie him up somewhere in the street but didn’t know where to. It was a dilemma. Very strange!

We are off to M&S today! A real treat - a trip out ha! Picking my stepfather up on the way too so he shares the joy. I’m 3 weeks post jab and feeling more confident.

Wednesday = my weekly weigh in day (after the weekend treat of wine on Sundays and before I sit down at my stepfather’s to enjoy a couple of whiskies and cokes - I’m no daft!). I’m joyous to share the news that 20 days into my calorie counting diet I’ve lost 5lbs. I seem to have lost my sweet tooth finally too and I’m not going looking for it!

Today is the start of my determination to ‘only’ spend an hour on GN in a morning and an hour in the evening. My addiction is getting ridiculous! Lockdown hasn’t helped for sure.

Right - a second mug of tea has just been passed to me so I’m going to settle down to read the 34 posts that were above mine when I started. I hope Wednesday is good to us all. Keep safe everyone that’s the main thing. x

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

My DD had terrible neighbours once and we’ve had annoying ones. It isn’t fair. !

We all care on this thread CC . Hope it gets sorted for you. ??
