Good Morning Thursday

Sar your daughter is indeed a very brave girl.

Good morning all. Don’t know why , suddenly, I have to keep logging on to GN with my e mail and password ?.

Lovely pics brook and baubles. Beautiful parts of our lovely country.

Had a very frustrating day yesterday, trying to get through to docs, hospitals etc. Eventually getting through we were then either cut off or told to ring back tomorrow. Good job we aren’t urgent. ? oh dear the grumpy gremlins are with me today. Sorry I’ll try to lighten up. ?.

Had a nice walk and chat with an old pal, in between the rain yesterday. It’s more like April with showers and sunshine. My little pooch, usually so sweet and gentle went for her little pooch over a chewy treat. I gave them one each and after mine had finished hers she went after the other one. She was in disgrace for the rest of the day ?.

Supermarket shop today. Yay! Such excitement after DS1 has been doing ours since Christmas. I do like to wander round by myself. I expect I’ll spend a lot more though! ?

I’ll bid you all a good day ???

Morning Mick, morning All from a cloudy corner of Somerset.

Definitely dust removal this morning as we didn’t get to it yesterday. Not sure what else. It occurred to me this morning how much I had enjoyed chatting to the nurses on Tuesday, those face to face chats have been missing for what feels like forever.

You’ve a busy day ahead bellasnana, hope your daughter is soon back to her usual self. Be careful with that toe when you go out ashcombe. Vaccination day does have a certain excitement sheepandcattle, hope all goes well.

Sounds as if you need a day of rest greyd, look after yourself. Good to hear your husband is eating more gagagran, your flowers were much deserved. Thank you for posting georgesgran, .

Take care everyone, hope Thursday is gentle with us all.

Good morning from cloudy Leicestershire.

May go to Boots this morning and pick up a coffee on the way. Anything for a little normality!

I am envious of your friends Ashcombe our years in the Netherlands we’re among my happiest. Next year is the Floriade, an outdoor exhibition planned every 10 years - well worth a visit alongside Keukenhof.

Pleased your day went well Georgesgran you are in my thoughts.

Good morning from Essex by the sea where it is another grey day with rain forecast for later.
Lidl for us this morning, it is literally less than 5 minutes in the car so an easy journey.
DD2 put a picture of how she looks now, after her cancer surgery, on her Facebook page last night. She wanted her family and friends to see, in her own words, 'that this is me now'. Obviously she hasn't seen anyone in the flesh, so to speak, and she said she needs to build up her confidence. I'm so proud of her with the way she has handled it all and cannot wait to see her, hopefully at the end of May.
Have the best Thursday you can and find a ? from somewhere xx

Good morning from Durham.
I’d like to thank all the lovely GN’s who had me in their thoughts yesterday. We were only allowed 15 mourners, but the carpark was filled with those who had come to see DH make his final journey. X

Good morning all from a mild, dry Wiltshire. Big day today..... DH and I get our vaccinations ?. Thank you for all the kind messages regarding Pinchy. I’m going to change her splints today to check that nothing is rubbing. Wishing you all a happy Thursday and kind thoughts to all who are experiencing sadness.

Good morning from a somewhat grey Nottinghamshire.
DH is planning a long walk again with a friend, about 15 miles, so I’ll have the house and garden to myself. He and his fellow Lions are doing a virtual round Britain walk to raise money for Brain tumour research - they started in Skegness and are well round the Welsh coast now, having gone via Brighton!

I’m glad the meeting of small children went well, Scentia, there’s nothing like watching small children play together to cheer the soul.

I’m off for breakfast, and to plan my lazy day!

Forecast has just changed. We shall be going from 6 degrees to.... 6 degrees! ?

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a grey, rather dreary South Yorkshire. I am early today; woke up feeling full of cold. We are supposed to be going for a walk in local woods today, but I have other things I need to do really and in truth, I have a touch of the dog so am probably best left to my own devices! Have a good day folks.

love = live! Although perhaps either would apply!!

Yes, brook they are much missed as one was a retired professional musician and actor/director whilst the others was a skilled set builder and photographer and both throughly decent guys.

DH and I have an open invitation to visit them when we can travel and I would also like to visit the the Keukenhof Gardens as we missed out on that when my 70th birthday cruise was cancelled last year.

Here is a link for any who are interested to a charming video about their home town of Middelburg. They love very close to the Oostkerk, shown near the end.

Good morning Mick, morning all from foggy South Lanarkshire.

Glad your trip went smoothly Mick.

Sorry your DD had such a nasty reaction Belasnana, enjoy the puppy sitting.

That must have been heartwarming Scentia, we have tinies in the family who haven’t had much in the way of contact with other children yet

What a lovely spring day yesterday was. A couple of photos from my dog walk, one of the farms has an egg vending machine by the roadside, I think you’d have to be quick off the mark to get there before they’re snapped up though.

Wishing everyone a peaceful day.

Wow brook2704 what a beautiful part of the world you live

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s still bright, dry and not too windy. Yesterday afternoon was lovely and sunny and we enjoyed a walk by the shoreline not far from home.
Such a shame you’ve lost two valued members of your theatre Ashcombe
Happy times with the DGS scentia!
Sorry to hear your DD3 is feeling so poorly bellas hope she’s feeling much better soon
Nothing different today, probably another morning tidying in the garden and then maybe a walk again this afternoon.
Hope everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good morning all from a cold north Surrey.
Yesterday didn’t go to plan. DD messaged to say feeling unwell post vaccination so no boys overnight but we did do the school runs for her. Waiting to hear how she feels this morning.
Had planned to refelt the roof of GC’s little garden house but hadn’t rechecked weather forecast, just got started when the rain came so another attempt this morning.
I am going into work this afternoon for another training session and to be ‘fit tested’ for another type of mask.
Saw the messages forgeorgesgran yesterday, my thoughts were with her on a difficult day.
Sorry to read about loss of Noel Sheepandcattle and really hoping Pinchy benefits from wearing the splints.
Ashcombe glad to hear your foot improving, walking is so beneficial to our health and well-being.
DD has just messaged to say much better so will stand down from my offer to do the school run.
Wishing all a good day today

Good morning from the Sefton coast where it is misty.
Last night I had a long chat by text with a friend from school. Her wicked sense of humour and refusal to take life too seriously result in us having great fun when we catch up.
Have the best day you can everyone. Sending a flamboyance of flamingoes.

Morning all from a cloudy and not very warm south coast. 4.9c at 6am on my weather station.

Better day here in the convalescent home and DH actually managed to eat a bit more. My Mum used to say (amongst her many sayings) "strength goes in through the mouth" so I am hoping she was right.

I had one of your nuggets of joy yesterday grandMattie when a delivery of beautiful lilies arrived from my DS and DiL. Just to keep me going through this difficult time and such a lovely surprise. They are my favourite flowers along with roses.

Hope today is a good one for us all.

I have heard that younger people have more side effects from AZ jab as we oldies were exposed to more nasties at an early age. Could be something in it but I'm not a scientist!

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it is cold but dry.
Had an amazing day yesterday with DGS and my DS and her DGS. It was the first time my GS had played with another child and after a few tears at first they got on like they had been friends for years. There is two years difference but to look at them you wouldn’t thinks so as my nephews DS is so tiny and my DGS is a little brut!!!
Today he is coming to the factory for his lunch as his mummy has a scan at the hospital, her new baby is another big one and they may want to get her out a bit earlier than May 1st.
I loved the photo of little pinchy yesterday in his red splints, but what a sad day for Sheep it was.
Take care everyone and stay safe❤️

Good morning from a grey skied Colchester. Rain later. DH is using the weather as an excuse not to unpack the garage.
Telly man coming today to sort out ariel points etc. (I wrote TV man but it sounded wrong!)
Laundry and ironing to do to get me back into Thursday routine and online quiz with family tonight.
Much love x

Morning Bella sorry to hear about your DD. We both had the Astra Zeneca and were fine. Lucky you can help with the pup.

Morning Mick and All.

Grey cool day in South Bucks.

Still revelling in my memories of visiting Waitrose earlier in the week. I felt like a child in a sweet shop. I do so miss my shopping trips, seeing people I know for a chat, just ordinary life.

Hugs to all that need it. ?

Good morning all from Malta where the weather is pleasant. I just walked up to the corner shop and it’s already quite warm.

I’ve got the workmen in again today to continue plastering my backyard walls. It already looks a lot better but there’s a lot of mess out there so the dog was quite put out when he went for a pee and couldn’t find his usual spot.?

I’ve got my grandpup coming today as DD3 is feeling extremely poorly after having the AstraZeneca jab yesterday. She’s been up since three with a migraine, nausea and aching bones, so asked me to keep the pup which I’m happy to do.

My tv is playing up this morning. So frustrating when I’m going to be stuck in all day.

Glad your bus trip went ok Mick and hope the results of your monitor will be favourable. Also happy to hear your procedure went well cornergran, I guess I was just unlucky as I’ve never had anything go wrong in previous ones.

Take care all, hope your day goes as well as it can.☀️

Good morning Mick and all from chilly Shropshire.

Thank you Pantglas.Am feeling better than yesterday thank goodness but still not 100%.We have childcare duties today and school pick up so DH will be in charge.

Car passed the MOT yesterday.I am always relieved.When I was first driving many years ago and had cheap, old cars the MOT was always something to dread as it usually meant a big bill.

Hope Cherry and Mary both had a restful night and are feeling better today.

Thinking of Georgesgran and all with sadness,illness and worries.

Have a good day all?
