Good Morning Friday

Good morning from a breezy Morecambe Bay. I was hoping to meet Ds2 and go for a walk and picnic with him, but we have postponed it because of the weather. Maybe next week when he’s off work again.
I love your ‘ramblings’ Marydoll you paint a great picture.
Rest up today after those exertions.
Good to hear Mr G is on his way home.
I’m off to find an exercise video now. DH is in his shorts patiently waiting for me.
Take care everyone and stay safe ?

Good Morning all from a dull windy and damp N. Bucks.

DH is taking our next door neighbour down to her doctors appointment and then his Mother to a hospital appointment. Good job he is in good health I’ve hardly seen him all week due to other people’s. appointments but they cannot get there otherwise.

I have another medical call this afternoon so hope to get things a bit more sorted for myself.

Hopefully a short walk if the rain holds off for a while. Bit of ironing to do otherwise bits and pieces.

Good luck to the movers and those with various tests and appointments.
Gaga pleased your DH is doing well. Take care of yourself Marydoll. and all with problems of any sort.
Hope you all find a ?today.

So far this morning we have had heavy rain, hail and now sunshine. Suspect the rest of the day will be equally interesting.

Can only imagine the effect of yesterday’s frustrations, Marydoll, my blood pressure would have been off the scale. A little gentle decorating of fairy doors sounds like enough for today. Hope the rain holds off for Pittcity’s move, that Mick gets to and from hospital without event, and that Mr Gagagran makes it home to his own bed and individual nursing care.

Off to Tesco for my weekly “treat” shortly, dodging the showers I expect.

Wonderful news, gaga.
Marydoll, you and sheep could join forces and publish a book called "Town and Country"! I'm sure a lot of us would get it - sadly it would blow your covers... unless - it was from an "anonymous lady and a farmer"?

Good morning all from a sunny and blowy (and forecast to be considerably blowier) Angus coast.
I wrote a long post yesterday and just as I typed the last word I became a fumble thumb and lost it all. I wish this site had a "do you really want to delete this" function! Anyway I had run out of time, so no post I'm afraid.
Today I shall try to be more careful!
What a lot of hospital visits and tests are on the cards today. Healing thoughts to you all ??. And while I remember, thank you for all the kind thoughts and hugs after mine.
But it does show that the NHS is able to get back into gear again, which is reassuring.
I hope you get good news for little Pinchy, sheep. I can quite see that sheep need strong legs to carry that weight of fleece as they get older - their comparatively skinny little legs never look strong enough to me as it is! You yourself - what a whirlwind! I'm in awe of your energy.
Hugs to Marydoll - I'm sure you were just like sheep before RA took hold of you. You have such fighting spirit. Loved your novella this morning. Keep on with what you're doing - it must be right as you've come so far ?
Good luck with your move today Pittcity - this time next week you'll be well settled in ?
I'm now gearing up for the visitation from DD and two DGDs on Sunday. I am so excited - I've even bought a fire bowl (TGF the Big River ?) for us to sit round and sizzle some sausages and toast some marshmallows. From today, in Scotland we are allowed to entertain up to four people from one other family unit in our gardens AND allow them inside to use the toilet!! I told DD that I was happy to drive to meet them in Perth, our usual halfway point, but it was the use of the toilet that appealed to her!!
I had a visit yesterday from a fellow tai chi instructor (outside in the wind and rain of course ?) and we have agreed that as meetings of up to 15 people outside for non-contact sporting activity is now permitted we can hold our annual Tai Chi on the Beach on April 1st! What a tonic that will be for all. In the past we have done it in every type of weather you can imagine (except for a heatwave of course! They are few and far between here, even in summer). If more than 15 people turn up, and that's highly possible, we will split into two or even three groups - there's more than three miles of beach, so plenty of space! The only thing that will stop us is the tide, which needs to be at its lowest. Not even the power of Tai Chi can turn that?. But it's lovely to think ahead and plan - it feels so normal.
Please have a good day everyone - and Gagagran I hope you get Mr G home very soon now. May ? and ? abound in your lives, one and all.

Good morning all from a brightening but damp South Yorkshire. At least the wind has eased down a bit.

Take care everyone.

Good morning all, it’s much calmer here in Lancashire today and no rain forecast until this evening. Yesterday I managed to take down some curtains with the aid of a step stool and replace them. I felt very dizzy but pressed on knowing Mr. B was within calling distance. This sort of thing is very difficult for me so it felt like an achievement, but I am paying for it today with stiffness and pain. I’m hoping for a short walk later if my balance is OK.

Look after yourselves all, the end is in sight.

Lovely news.

Good morning all from a very windy day again in Glasgow where it is sunny at the moment! Yesterday was a lamps on, lamps off day with a mixture of sunshine and dark clouds.

As pottering in the garden will be impossible today, I plan to play about with some craft work. I’m sure I could find lots of housework to do but that’s no fun. ?

Have the best day you can everyone.

Lovely news Gagagran I meant - sorry I'm not good on here!

Just reading posts after a housework morning. Love your post Marydoll and the "tails" of the lambs Sheep and Cattle
SIL has been contacted and offered a vaccination so , apart from the youngsters, all my family have had one and DS had his second yesterday. Good news.
Best wishes to all with a difficult day.

Good morning Mick and all from a cool and dull Lancashire northwest coast.
I hope your procedure goes well Mick and I remember Banbury market day with great fondness, spending childhood holidays in the area.
Off to Asda this morning for essential bits and pieces, but will try to give the chocs and biscuits a miss. A red spotted dress I ordered online arrived yesterday and is a good fit. I’m not going anywhere, so have hung it on the wardrobe door to look at and cheer me up.
Watched a programme on James Mason last night, wonderful voice and handsome.
Thinking of Marydoll, Taichinan and all with troubles.
Looking forward to reading all the entries later.

Back today to reading through everyone's comments. Stressful day, yesterday, waiting for son to call which didn't happen. He did send a short text saying he would ring on Sunday. I'll try to keep the worries at bay until we can talk.

Cornwall - It's piddling here too Beechnut but a little sun is expected. I shall dive out with Mya when it does. Got caught in two heavy downpours yesterday,

Mick - hope the monitor gives positive results for you,

Urms - asked MrM if he fancied liver for dinner today. I was doing the delivery order last night). His face told it all. Can't convince him that not all liver is tubes! (I love liver and bacon and mash.

Sheep My thoughts are with little Pinchy. Room for him here.

EV I do miss a food shop at M&S. Used to do one once a month before covid. Only two in Cornwall and my nearest is a 45 min drive away, Lucky you.

Amerleran. Moles are a menace here too. Over the past week I've collected soil from about a dozen mounds. Sorry to say but the traps are out. They dig up under our path around the cottage. Some slabs are now uneven again. (I fell twice, once damaging a rib) They were relaid last year after a big infill of the tunnels. I'd saved all the soil in some big feed bags we have.

Aggie - I'm fed up with home cooking for the two of us so ready meals have been on the delivery list for the past month, Love them but can't wait to eat out again.

Marydoll You need a survival course for trips to that chemist.

Pittcity Are you moving far? My worst move was 500 miles and then everything went into storage.

Lots of activity here today. Woodburner being refitted along with the flue in the new house. Flue was faulty. Fitters have just knocked on the door. "Have you got any tiles left over for the roof?". They've broken some getting the flue out. Luckily, we have. MrM doesn't throw or give anything away.

Highlight of my day will be daughter ringing at 2:00pm before granddaughter gets home from school.

I see a small amount of so Mya is at the door ready for me. Take care everyone from far and near.

Urmstongran The Secret History was a good book, (I read it because I’d enjoyed The Goldfinch by the same author). It reminded me of the TV series ‘How To Get Away With Murder’ both set on a US campus with a charismatic professor...

muse bet you he’d eaten pig’s liver! Very tubey.
??

I read ‘The Goldfinch’ which is why I bought this one. Only just started it LadyO - it will keep me entertained this afternoon I hope. A friend had recommended it sometime ago. I love reading. How to ‘lose’ yourself in peace and quiet without even trying.
