Good Morning Tuesday

Someone upthread - was it Marydoll? - I can’t look back, my iPad is so slow this morning [smils] - mentioned RA. My SIL has this and obviously has a fair amount of meds - but she also found changing her diet helped hugely. Obviously it may not suit everyone, but she is much better now, having cut out sugar, red meat (well, she is veggie), a lot of dairy. She eats masses of fruit and vegetables, was vegetarian anyway, eats whole meal bread. No pies, pastries, biscuits or alcohol.

Good morning it's grey here and I think we will get rain

Dreading my bladder endoscopy this afternoon but everything was put into perspective last night when I found out that my closest friend's daughter has breast cancer, so sad and worried for the whole family

Sorry nothing positive to say today I'm very tired after a sleepless night

Hope everyone has a good day today

We will all have you in our thoughts on here Roses. Hope all goes well for you and that the result is reassuring for you. x

Hope all goes well today Roses .My heart goes out to you Cherry hope your neighbour can get help she needs .Take care everyone.

Good Morning to you all from a dry, overcast Cambs.,

Pleased your trip south went well yesterday, Brook, enjoy your stay in lovely Cambridge with your family. Your DGS's are a similar age to our 2 youngest DGD's, who, as you know, also live in that fine city.!

Thank you for the photos everyone, always good to see.

Warm wishes to you all, especially those with extra worries & woes. .

Take Care Folks.

Roses I know I'm only a bloke, and we are made differently "down there" but let me tell you something I hope will reassure. In early 2015 I had a prostate op - no hint of cancer, but the gland needed reducing in size. This, under local anaesthetic, was both painless and successful, but a few months later the urologist wanted another look. Almost without asking, and without any form of sedative or anaesthetic, a camera was pushed up into my bladder. I believe the male urethra is rather longer than the female one, but it was, at worst, a slightly odd feeling, but not painful. I was aware that something was going on inside me, but honestly, that was all. These people do this all the time, and can predict how you will feel. They will mitigate discomfort however they can. Trust them, take a deep breath and I bet it will be a lot less awful than you might imagine.

As they say hereabouts - Bon Courage!

Good Morning all from Grey and chilly Harrogate
Lovely photos Ashcombe even if it is of a funeral.
Gorgeous dog Ellianne
It's very difficult not to go totally mad now having had my 2 vaxs, but I have to rein in 'cause it's only 2 weeks since I had the last one. Anyway today i need to go to Aldi (nearest supermarket) for butter and flour - can't possibly wait until Sainsburies delivery on Thursday - that's my excuse and am sticking to it!! I love the childrens books that Aldi has, and cheap, too. The GC love them too.
I can understand your planning Marydoll but i can't understand why you haven't had your 2nd Vax - that's ridiculous!! My DD2 has had both 'cause she is the carer for DGS - he is vulnerable because he has Down Syndrome. But Wow Marydoll you can hardly buy a dress pattern for £3 never mind the whole dress made up!!
Hope Lins is feeling better and Cherry too.
Keep well folks and hope it rains just what we need and no more!!

Good Morning everyone. Overcast but warm here in S of ??

May the Power of Grans go with you, Roses - you can do this. It’s fine to be afraid and to tell people you are. That’s normal. Now what is it they say? ‘Feel the fear and do it anyway’. ?

Bet you’re already at the hairdressers, Gelisa (yes, it’s the woman who owes you a mail!). Hope you make a good choice. For the benefit of those who may not know, G has the most beautiful hair. I’d guess that colouring hair with some different lowlights and keeping some grey would be the way to go and there’s no worry about re-touching or looking washed out from too solid a colour that way. Whatever your hairdresser does I’m sure you’ll be thrilled with the trip to finally get it cut.
Me? I plan to take some time away from GN and really try to catch up with all of my correspondence! ?

When you mention Matlock, Bakewell etc., I’m reminded of a visit to that area 50 years ago, Beau. I don’t know what I expected but it wasn’t an area of such beauty. Life will have changed beyond everything since then but I bet the countryside is still a joy!

Lovely ? horse photos - and that dog! Too Cool for Skool with his RayBans ?.

Have the best day everyone.

I’m off to do some shopping.(Go me), then some gardening and lawn sprinkling and potting and on and on.

Keep safe as you out and about. Nothing more important than that!

?‍♀️???????????????

Good morning Mick and all from a sunny and warmer S Welsh coast, warmer as the wind has died down. I'm sorry that your neighbour is vocal again Cherry, could you contact all the candidates for the forthcoming election about the lack of official response, maybe they will do something if they want your vote and that of your neighbouring ally?? Not that I'm cynical you understand.......
Isn't there a Police Commissioner election too ?

We had a nice walk and a coffee by the sea yesterday. There was a film crew filming scenes for Casualty by the Lifeboat Station. They have often filmed here before Covid so it is nice to see them back. I am awaiting a Sainsbury's delivery and we're having one of their Chinese meals tonught.
Best wishes to Maw and Maisie.

Morning all , I am taking it easy today after a busy day shopping , which included the local garden centre/nursery . We wanted another Hydrangea but he told us he isn’t taking them out of the greenhouse for a few weeks yet , however a few plants and seeds made it into my trolly ? so the afternoon was taken up in the garden .
The water lilies are re potted , such a filthy job !
We hoped for rain but got just a few splashes , I do read all the posts , but I find it hard to remember who and what , accept my apologies for not remarking on posts xxx

Thank you for your kind messages, I am not normally such a baby and have had four endoscopies in the past just not in this area. Maybe it's just fear of the Unknown

Roses we’re all with you in spirit, get your self a treat for afterwards ?

Good morning from Sefton where it overcast and rather cool. Glad you enjoyed the thatched cats and mouse yesterday.
Love the photos of horses from Ashcombe and GG13, the goldie from Ellianne and blinds from Jan53.
I hope Cherry has had a good night and that there is some progress in the situation with her neighbour. May this afternoon go smoothly and pass quickly for you Roses.
After my 2nd vax this pm, we’re meeting DGD from school (for the first time in more than a year) and will walk while she scoots home. ? ?? Like Marydoll and others grans, I’m finding small steps into ‘normality’ such a tonic.
You have a DGS who wants to eat sand Gbatty? It’s difficult to suppress the smiles, isn’t it? Until his haircut yesterday, mine (18 months) was an exact lookalike for Boris. Say nothing garra...
Thinking of those who are facing troubles and sending them the brightest of rainbows.
???(I know, muse) ???

I , too , send you my best wishes Roses and hope for a good result. Best wishes to your good friend's daughter and family. My daughter has had breast cancer twice ( none in the family ) and I would gladly have taken her place.

Good morning all,

It's a rather grey, overcast morning, and looks as if we could have a drop of rain at any moment. It doesn't feel cold though.

Roses I'm sure you are right, and it is fear of the unknown, but I'll add my wishes that all goes well today and that it won't be as bad as you fear. ?

Another day with nothing of interest to report, so I'll sign off, but wish you all a good day. Take care.

Good morning from south Devon where it is sunny at the moment but clouds are forecast with possible rain tomorrow.
We desperately need rain, everything is so dry.
Lots of good wishes to everyone on GN.

Good morning all dear Grans. So good to read your news. Its lovely and sunny yet again here in Sidmouth. My son has made me buy a personal alarm in case I have an accident or fall. I had one a couple of weeks ago, tripped over the carpet and landed heavily on my knees. I could not get up for more than half an hour. It was so painful and it swelled up and took a few days to get back to normal. Still hurts when I touch it. I think I may have cracked the patella. Having the alarm makes me feel so old and feeble....
Anyway there are grans a lot worse off than I am, and I hope you all feel better as the day wears on. Missing several grans, aren't we? I hope they are all right, including Maw with her new dog!!! Have a good day all!

Don't encorage by responding. That's what this person wants.
We are not easily shocked, so find somewhere else to get your kicks!
I have reported!

I don't think I like the crude posts of Gansta and Janet. Where is their dignity? Very vulgar!!!
