Good Morning Wednesday

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Morning from S Lanarkshire, sky quite bright so that’s good.
Good news NanKate, so pleased for you.
Once again I enjoyed the pictures yesterday, your new blinds are lovely NannyJan!

I just heard Judy Murray recommending one of my lockdown exercise finds, Happy Mile, on YouTube, it really lifted my spirits in the depths of winter.

My youngest grandson’s sixth’s birthday today. He has been totally hyper for weeks, could think of nothing better than being 6. He asked his 8 year old sister how she she thought she would feel, having a brother who is six, talk about ‘all about me’!
I can hardly believe that this is his second birthday that I am not there for but like last year I have a little cake and candle which I will blow out when he blows out his, thank goodness for FaceTime.

Remembering as always, all who need special thoughts and support, hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s mild enough because of the white cloud cover keeping us warm. No wind so the trees around us are still.

I don’t know what the forecast is but it’s of no relevance today as we are taking a small grocery shop over to my stepfather later. He wants to go to the bank so we will drive him there then go into his for an hour for a wee dram.

Hope Wednesday is kind to us all and that your procedure went well yesterday Roses. x

Beauregard Lathkill dale is where I saw dippers for the first time. We do love the Peak District and have a cottage booked for July

Such good news nankate I’m so pleased for you!
Hope the tests go ok for your DH today harrigran and things can still progress on Friday ?

Good mornng from a drizzly Black Country, where it rained overnight. The garden does need it.

MrJ had his 2nd jab yesterday. I have mne 10th May. We looked round the Sofa shop in Solihull yesterday. We have chosen the sofa, but cannot decide on the colour and material. Do we go for a bold colour or lighter and Linen or Velvet. Decisions, decisions!

Arrived home and I made Nigella's Marzipan Loaf cake.

I can feel your relief NanKate

No real plans today, probably housework and ironing

Thinking of all who are struggling.

Good morning from cloudy Derbyshire. We've had some rain, not enough really, but it'll do for now.

Well I missed everything going on here yesterday! As we went out for the day quite early I couldn't keep up with the posts minute by minute as I usually do, so when I looked again later in the day I saw all the deleted posts so have no idea what it was all about, although it's clear it was unpleasant. Perhaps just as well I missed it all.

We enjoyed most of our day yesterday. The walk had its ups and downs, literally! I always say to DH when he's planning the walk - no steep climbs as I don't enjoy them - I soon realised as we started walking he hadn't taken much notice of that as we descended very steeply for a long way down to the river and I knew we would have to go back up at some point! A very steep climb through a wooded area! The photo shows the river Lathkill which we had been walking alongside a few minutes earlier. A pub lunch and some shopping later helped save the day.

Good news for you Gagagran. Hope DD's interview goes well.
Also good news for NanKate to put your mind at rest.
Nice to see Lins posting again too.

Have a good Wednesday everyone.

Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow. Its not very warm today and I couldn't get warm at all yesterday.

Great news from Kate! I hope Roses' procedure wasn't too unpleasant and stressful.
Brook how lovely to for you to see your family again. Your family must have been delighted when you stepped of that train.

I'm so glad yesterday's mammogram is over! I was the first customer of the day and had to stand in the pouring rain, outside the mobile unit, until one minute before my appointment! That wasn't a good idea, as it took me ages to get up the steep, wet metal staircase! ?
Not surprisingly, given the present situation, the staff seemed to be very stressed and had no time for pleasantries. The first words barked at me were, Sanitise your hands!!!

There was an amusing moment when my hair got stuck in the plates of the x-ray machine! ? I hadn't realised it was so long. ? Hence the over zealous hair cut last night, which I am now deeply regretting! ? I do, however, look so much younger. About ten years old!
No fancy photos from me today. The attached photo, which looks like a dead animal, shows the chopped of hair of DD and myself!

I was looking forward to two medical telephone consultations today, one at 9am and one at 1.30pm. The lunch time one, to discuss my Alendronic Acid infusion, has just been cancelled for the third time! Due to Covid, it's nearly two years overdue? The specialist has had to self isolate, after being in contact with Covid! This is why we can't be complacent and still need to be vigilant.

The virus certainly hasn't gone away!!! I received a pack of lateral flow tests yesterday, courtesy of the Scottish Govt. I think this is an excellent idea, especially once I'm allowed to go to actual physical hospital appointments. They are now available to all in Scotland.
For people who are out and about all the time, especially if they use public transport, should consider availing themselves of this facility. It helps to keep them and others they come in contact safe.
My hairdresser told me that they are all tested twice a week at our local asymptomatic testing centre. Very reassuring.

I'm absolutely dreading the 9am appointment. ?
Then if I am brave enough, I'm going to do battle with my surgery over my second jab. Wish me luck, I will need it to brave the dragon's den.

Thinking of all our dear friends and their families, who are struggling and of course, all our missing friends. ?

Good morning from a grey but still dry Colchester.
Wrapping up and taking my brolly and deckchair to the park for our weekly meetup. The garden desperately needs rain but not until the afternoon please!
I've begun to put things in the diary for the Summer. It feels so odd making plans again.

Love and hugs for all x

Cherry tree from the front garden!

Good morning from the NE where we are having a second day of rain.
While making my cup of tea I looked out of the window and there was an enormous grey heron standing on the garage roof, at first glimpse I though it was a stork and I wondered where he had been delivering to
DH had his drive through covid test and then was straight back home to bed. Telephone appointment with oncologist ran late, phoned at 19.15 instead of 17.00. She wants DH to attend hospital today for tests, she thinks he may not be well enough for the procedure on Friday.

Good morning, another one from grey Leicestershire.

Hoping to do for a walk this morning. Then I may plant the sweet peas out as the ground should be soft.

Great news Kate and pleased Iris is improving.

Good morning all from a grey Harrogate
Today I expect we will take the car for a spin and hopefully stop at a shop or two!! Shall put a white wash on and hope it will dry outside. Made an appointment for my hair to be cut, but found my usual hairdresser has left!!! My appointment with 2nd best is 18th May!!!
Now I shall have to make an appointment with the hearing aid clinic
Problem with doing a rain dance gagagran is the rains forgets to stop!!
Great news * nankate*!
Have as good a day as possible folks!

That is wonderful, Kate! Iris nice to have all your fears out to rest. ❤️

Good morning Mick and all from a dry S Hants, I think we’ve had the merest sprinkle of rain overnight, more to come today, in theory. The best news NanKate, phew, a big relief for you.
Today I must return my ready reads to the library and put some fuel in my car for the second time in a couple of months, just shows I’m doing more. We have an outside table booked this evening, first meal out for eight months or so, it will be chilly, but fun.
Have a gentle day all.

Wet Wednesday here.
Gorgeous Freddie Dwmxwg.
Mentions of such lovely places on this thread in the UK makes me happy.

Morning everyone
It’s very wet and dull here in Somerset
Just what was needed for the garden
.not a lot going on here today .
Shopping delivery and housework this morning. picking DGS up from school this afternoon., will have to dig the colouring books and games out to play with ,as it will be too wet to play in the garden .
Take care and have a good day

Iris update - the infection is well under control but she hate having the dressings changed daily by her mum. ?????

Thank you brook.

Cambridge is such a beautiful city and seeing your family again is something extra special after lockdown. Enjoy the botanical garden today !

Morning all from an overcast North Leicestershire. We had rain overnight and it looks as though we might get more today.

I am off to Derby for my second jab today and might get to see DD1. And, while I am out, the floor men will be here preparing for the new hall flooring so that's a result!!

Brilliant news Kate!

Good morning all and as GG has said, it’s grey here in Essex. A lovely warm day yesterday and caught the sun on my face after only sitting out for 10 minutes.

Sorry you had a bad night GG. Take it easy today if you can. Have you got the ‘ little imp’ ?

Our second jabs today so fingers crossed we’ll be ok with no symptoms. After the last one, I felt rough the next day but DH was absolutely fine.

One of the twin grandsons (15) has broken his little finger playing footie (or rucking with his twin) ?, so he’s got it in a splint. He told me ‘Nanna, I can’t even play on my X Box , it’s so painful’. ?.

Let’s hope today is a good day ?.

Good news NanKate - you can breathe again now!

Good morning Mick and all his followers. Sunshine and clouds here in Suffolk this morning after just a light sprinkling of rain yesterday evening.
I shall have to water today.
We have booked two nights away in a month’s time but I wish I had read the reviews first not afterwards. It seems to depend which room you get. Hmm - what to do?
This is too early for me - see you later! ?

Morning Mick and All.

Cloudy with a tiny bit of sunshine here in South Bucks.

The Consultant said my biopsies were all clear ?

GrannyG You need to put your feet up, glug back some painkillers, have a nice warm drink and recover from your bad night ?

Good morning from north Surrey, no overnight rain and doesn’t look that promising for any today either.
Had a WhatsApp catch up with all Freddie’s brothers and sisters yesterday. He is one from a litter of 14, they all seem to have the same character traits. Also had an email from the breeder, she kept one of the litter, who she thinks is whelping so he will be an uncle.
Today I plan for another quiet day. Garden and allotment watering if no rain. An online Pilates session and dog walking. Still have a few more Cubs badges to sew on The boys will be here early evening which will cheer me up with their boisterous fun.
I missed the nastiness here yesterday (lucky me), was surprised to see over 100 posts when I checked back in to read but then saw why with lots deleted. How sad people can be.
Enjoy your day and hope those ?? are out there to keep us feeling positive
