Ok back again.

Painkillers are beginning to kick in, so I am lazing and scrolling GN! (Trying to keep out of trouble ?)

Beautiful photos, and much excitement with expected concerns regarding new babies.

It never rains but pours in Marydoll world

It’s DD’s birthday today, she has gone back to bed as The Imp was part most of the night, it is definitely his back teeth. We are supposedly going out for late lunch /early dinner to a local (ish) gastro pub with lots of outside seating, a close eye shall be kept on the weather. If not it will be a take-away of her choice.

Good news for NanKate and Roses, hope things go well for your DH harrigran

Jaxjacky Wed 28-Apr-21 11:02:38

Back again to catch up on your news Roses much relief, you must feel lighter now. Harrigran fingers crossed your DH gets the all clear for Friday. Exciting B9 how quickly news changes. And muse oh dear, that doesn’t sound the best of days, hoping today is an improvement.
Marydoll nearly every day you have to gird your loins for another chase up, it must be so wearing when you have enough to contend with.
Lovely pictures today all, thank you.

Good morning from a dull but still dry day here in our bit of Berks.
I had a horrid day yesterday, just couldn't get on top of all my aches and pains. It was also the start of my second chemo cycle, and infusion. The nurses are lovely and were so concerned that an X-ray of my back was done before I left the hospital. When I was told that I had to lie in my back, then on my left side, I did wonder whether I could do it, but we managed, with the radiographer manoeuvring me minutely into position.
Boy, you have to be fit to be ill!.
So pleased that NanKate's biopsy was clear.
Best wishes also to all the mums and their babies that are due now, or soon.
My Acer, that I planted last spring, has sprung into life and the leaves are showing red. I did wonder whether it would survive the winter. Another success, at the moment, is my Morning Glory seeds that I planted on 22nd April, are germinating, and so far there are about a dozen baby sprouts, on the kitchen window cill.
I think it is a lazy day today, doing not a lot.
Nice to hear that Cherry had a quiet night, and maybe manage some sleep.
Gosh Marydoll, that's a lot of hair, even if it's not all yours. I am sorry that you have not had your infusion for so long, I wish I could give you some of mine.
Have a good day one and all.

B9exchange Wed 28-Apr-21 10:49:32

Thank you all so much for your good wishes, they are obviously working, you have made me quite emotional! I will post back as soon as there is any news, hoping your days go smoothly!

Roses Wed 28-Apr-21 10:42:51

B9exchange great news ! Hope all goes well

NannyJan53 Wed 28-Apr-21 10:35:52

Brilliant news B9exchange thinking of your DDil and DS and wishing them well flowers

CherryCezzy Wed 28-Apr-21 10:29:54

Wonderful news B9exchange ?

Nannagarra Wed 28-Apr-21 10:27:54

Excellent news Roses. Made up for you.
How exciting B9exchange. Keep us updated if possible please. Will ginny and Scentia be in the same position as you in the next few days, I wonder.
Forgot to mention pix before. Thank you - I so enjoy them.
If I’ve missed anyone I apologise.

CherryCezzy Wed 28-Apr-21 10:27:22

I hope your DH's tests go well harrigran and that his procedure can go ahead on Friday ??
B9exchange* of course we can and do share our life's concerns here. I have many and find nothing but support and kindness. It's understandable that you are concerned, nine days overdue is quite a while but certainly not unknown. I hope all goes well for your DIL, similarly your DD on Friday ginny.
I'm really happy that your endoscopy went well Roses ?
I'm okay(ish) * Lins*, only a couple of mild minor seizures in the last couple of days ? Thank you for your well wishes. It's good to hear that your DD has had her first jab ?. I hope you are keeping well too.

dragonfly46 Wed 28-Apr-21 10:16:51

B9 so our wishing paid off - exciting times.

Muse so sorry to hear that I hope today goes better for you.

Susan56 Wed 28-Apr-21 10:15:13

Pleased to hear good news from Kate,Iris and Roses?
Harrigran, I hope your husbands procedure can go ahead.Such a worrying time for you?
Fingers crossed for the babies coming before Friday for Ginny and B9 and thoughts with Scentia too????
Cherry, glad your neighbour was quiet but sorry you had a restless night.
Hope all appointments go well today.

Grandmajean Wed 28-Apr-21 10:13:02

Marydoll I know you have lots of health issues and am not trying to compare but I thought it might comfort you a little to know that I had five miserable days after the first AstraZenica jab and was dreading the second. Not a SINGLE side effect second time. I don't have health issues but hope you are as lucky !

Party4 Wed 28-Apr-21 10:09:50

Morning all from a cold dull West Yorks.How cold was it last night. Our flagpole cherry is in full bloom, a lovely greeting on opening the curtains first thing, such a pity the blossom is short lived but its position attracts some lovely birds for us to watch.
NanKate such relief to get good news, a weight lifted.Harrigran sorry to here DH treatment may be on hold,do keep us updated it's a worrying time for you all.
Had to laugh at Marydoll photo as with my limited vision it did resemble a toy the GCs have and we call it Scuffy Emu.
Not much happening today other than GCsx4 to collect from school, all here for tea and home about 7p.m when we collapse on sofa.
Thinking of all with worries and illness.take care whilst enjoying new openings.

Mapleleaf Wed 28-Apr-21 10:09:03

Good morning all,

I haven’t read all the posts yet but wanted to post before the morning is over, so will come back and read them shortly.

It’s a rather grey start to the day here in South Yorkshire but dry for the moment. We did have some welcome rain during last evening and through the night though.

Another day with little planned, it’s becoming rather samey I’m afraid. Still, things are starting to open up, so there will gradually be more options to choose from.

To all with troubles, I wish an easier day for you today.

Take care everyone. ?

B9exchange Wed 28-Apr-21 10:07:48

Just had a text that DDil went into labour earlier this morning! Last time ended up as an emergency C section with crash team called to DGS and then within a few minutes to DDiL. DS promptly went into shock at the thought he nearly lost both of them within the space of a few minutes.

She has got to the stage of needing Diamorphine, I don't suppose I will hear any more until there is a result, DS has other things to do than look at his phone!

Nannagarra Wed 28-Apr-21 10:06:55

Good morning from the Sefton coast where it is cool and overcast following a night of rain.
My 2nd jab yesterday went very well. Fingers crossed you manage to secure yours soon, Marydoll. Thinking of Mrharri going in for tests, Iris as she recovers and the relief NanKate must be feeling having had the result of the biopsies.
Nearly half the properties where I live have changed hands in the last 12 months. There is much busyness as radical transformations take place, including the demolition of a bungalow because the purchasers prefer to have a house. DH is amazed at just how many lorries deliver, skips appear, roofs disappear, front gardens fill with building materials, back gardens are churned up by diggers and comparatively newly-built brick walls tumble in collisions. It’s having a knock-on effect upon us if you’ll pardon the pun.
Ive just put the heating on and may have to layer up to take today’s cycle ride.
Have the best day you can everyone.
?????

muse Wed 28-Apr-21 10:06:30

Good Morning Mick and all.
I've woken to evidence of a shower outside.

I will read everyone's news when I've gained my composure. I was so looking forward to my first escape day yesterday for ages and ages. The day started badly, improved towards lunch time but then went downhill fast. The second escape day (Thursday) now won't happen.

I'll settle down now with a cafe and read the posts.

Blossoming Wed 28-Apr-21 09:57:51

Good morning all from a cool cloudy Lancashire. There’s a chilly wind out there today. Another day of not much planned, I am feeling the effects of yesterday’s bending and lifting while sorting boxes, etc for recycling. I hope everyone has the best day possible and no unpleasant surprises this morning.

ginny Wed 28-Apr-21 09:55:22

B9 I know how you feel. My DD is booked for a caesarean on Friday ( due to previous problems). Hope all goes well for your DIL.
I think Sencia has a DD also whose baby is due this week.

olddudders Wed 28-Apr-21 09:44:53

Morning from Froggy France, where the wall-to-wall sunshine just goes on. We are promised rain from Friday. Yeah, right.

First of all I am so pleased that Roses endured her endoscopy without too much discomfort, and the result was obviously not too bad either.

I saw a few of the controversial posts yesterday, and found them most unladylike. I fully understand some women feel the need to use bad language - heck, you share the planet with men! - but it has no place here. The Internet is full of much more suitable debating grounds for such exchanges.

More good news today about those of us who've had even just one jab - not only do we get much milder symptoms, if we catch the wretched thing at all, but we are significantly less infectious to others, even indoors at home. Like ripples in a pond, the good news about vaccination just gets better.

I strimmed a couple of times yesterday and my back is slightly aware of that fact. Today I will push the mower round by way of a change.

dragonfly46 Wed 28-Apr-21 09:39:25

B9 we are friends here who share the good and bad. I hope baby comes before Friday.

Harrigan I hope your DH gets the go ahead for Friday.

Great news Roses.

BlueSapphire Wed 28-Apr-21 09:36:04

Good morning everyone from a cloudy Northampton. We had quite heavy rain yesterday evening, and it continued through the night. We may have a shower later on, but I have taken a chance and put the bedding in the machine.

Had a good clean and sort out of the dining room yesterday, and also managed to run the Shark over downstairs. Didn't manage the walk to the postbox, but will do that today after my usual tidy up and clean of the kitchen.

Need to send an email this week to book club friends about this month's read, but struggling to think of anything extra to add to the excellent review posted by our group leader. She also thinks we may be able to meet up at the end of June. I noticed that our book, ' A Month in the Country', has been made into a film starring Colin Firth, so I have ordered it.

Also ordered a new dish drying rack for the draining board, as the current one has a split in it - well, I have had it since before we moved in here in 1993!

Lovely photos again today; hope today is a good one for us all.

Lins1066 Wed 28-Apr-21 09:30:25

Good morning Mick and all from an overcast S Welsh coast, we had some rain overnight. I didn't sleep well last night so a gentle day ahead I think.
Our youngest has her first jab today, she's thirty five. We have our second on May 4th.
We may take Sam for a stroll to the harbour later to see if the filming has finished and deliver some more bananas to the neighbours - Mr Lins somehow ordered six kilos instead of just six!
Good news for NanKate and Corner's goddaughter. I hope that Mr Harrigran's tests go well. Hope that Cherry is well.
Stay safe everyone.
