Good Morning Thursday

Ginny will be thinking of you tomorrow and praying for a happy outcome, this really has been a week for babies!

Quite agree a jab on top would have been too ambitious, I wouldn't have been able to focus on anything yesterday.

All the very best for your DD3 tomorrow ginny hope all goes well - exciting times ahead and I love all the baby news!

It’s a shame your DGS can’t get to meet his new baby sister yet B9 but I’m sure baby Olive is being well looked after and will be home soon - sending ❤️
Sorry to hear sad news about your cat Ellianne ?

That’s a shame B9 but sure all will be well. Great name by the way.
Didn’t get a chance to post this morning as DD3 had asked if I could go over and help her do some cleaning. Nesting I think. She want to leave everything stuck and span before going in for caesarean tomorrow. She rarely asked for any help but her bump prevents her bending much at the moment. I was happy to be able to do something for her
Got home about half an hour ago and my phone pinged with a message from Doctors surgery asking to book my second jab. They had a couple of appointments left for tomorrow but I didn’t think I could cope with that and waiting for news from Dd and SIL?.
Will be trying to keep busy tomorrow.
Haven’t really had a chance to read posts today but hope you all find a ?.

So sorry Ellianne - we have a rescue black cat too. Have had him for nearly ten years. He was rescued from a house with 29 other kittens ! He lives a life of luxury here. I know the sadness of losing cats. We have had six over the years and four lived to a grand old age.

So sorry Ellianne it is such a hole when they go.

News on the baby front is that the hospital are a bit worried about Olive's head from the Ventouse, and she has developed a bit of jaundice. I am sure these are only minor hiccups, but she won't be coming home today. DGS will have to wait to meet her as he is not allowed in the hospital.

That is sad news Ellianne ?

Elliane

put down if no one took him.

Thanks, yes, he was a rescue cat from the SPA (like our RSPCA). The French think black cats are unlucky so he was about to be

Ellianne You know you gave him the best life ever

So sorry Ellianne, you will miss that beautiful black furry boy who shared your life for the last 15 years, but we have to let them go.
We have photo’s around the house of all the cats we have had over the past 40 odd years and they remain in our hearts, as I’m sure your dear cat will.
He had a wonderful long life.

Ellianne. sorry to hear that sad news. ? for you.

You had 15 lovely years with dear cat Ellianne. Sad news though. Take care.

Ellianne sorry ?

Thank you for you kind wishes. We raced to the vets as it opened but the right decision was to let the dear cat go peacefully.
Now happily chasing anything that moves in some other world.

Good morning Mick and all from a mixed up weather wise northwest Lancashire coast.
Firstly congratulations to B9exchange, always a miracle, a new life.
More of the same today, although restrictions have eased, I wonder if others feel like me and have lost the organising gene? And seem to have retreated somewhat in terms of getting in touch with people? Also I don’t fancy sitting in a chill wind and the ch went back on yesterday as could not get warm in this draughty house. I’m like Urmston, need warmth and never happier than in 25c and able to throw a cotton frock on and saunter off.
Thoughts to harrigran, Cherry, Auntieflo, Marydoll and anyone with worries.
Will read through later.

Good Morning all from sunny Harrogate
DD1 called this am so I blame her for my late post!
LauraNorder. will miss you and news from a beautiful Island, come back when you are ready!! I, too, look on you all as my friends!
Ellianne sorry about your cat - our furry friends are so precious. Baubles sorry about your uncle. I have one remaining aunt, she is 95, blind and deaf so difficult to communicate with. She is in a home in Hampshire near her daughter and very happy.
My DH has a hospital appointment today, funnily enough I am hoping we have time for a rummage in TKMax after!!

Have as best day as you can folks!

Good Morning to you all from another dry day in Cambs.,

Cambridge city is sounding great Brook, I was envying you in the lovely Botanic gardens, with family nearby, (yours & mine!).!

Take care Laura, we will miss you & your sense of humour.

B9exchange, happy news, are you saying a grand-daughter, called Olive? That's lovely, congratulations.

There are so many posts on here now, by the time I've finished reading, I confuse who's done what, & if I go back to check, I lose my post, so end up not sending, or getting it wrong. So apologies to those I've missed.

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

Good morning everyone. A little cloudy in Ashtead this morning and a wee bit fresh but going to chance putting the washing out. Have a good day everyone (feeling very hay fevery - anyone else suffering?)

Good morning Mick, Annie, and all.
Gosh, I didn't wake up until 9.30 this morning. DH said he didn't have the heart to wake me, and so I had a very lukewarm cup of tea beside the bed. It must have been a build up of all the painkillers that I took during the day.
Many congratulations to B9exchange and the family, on the arrival of a new granddaughter. How lovely to have a new baby cuddle to look forward to.
Ellianne, sorry to hear the news about your cat, but it sounds as though he had a good life.
I am sad that LauraNorder, is leaving us for a bit, but it must be the right thing for her to do at the moment.
I haven't really had the chance to read all the 'doings' this morning, so will leave you all with best wishes for a good day, while I go and catch up properly.

Good Morning All x.
Sunny but boy does it stay cold. My fingers are like icicles as I try and type, so wrapping my hands round a cuppa.
Just back from the INR so don't go until the 27th of May. I'd been every Thursday this month as the result has been up and down like a fiddlers elbow.

I don't know whether to risk doing a wash as there are one or two ominous clouds about even though the sun's nice and warm. There's nothing urgent that needs doing so I'll wait and see.

After filling charity bags nobody came to pick them up. This has happened before and I end up putting the bags in the shed where they quickly pile up. What a nuisance.

LauraNorder you'll get loads done now, as I know what it's like as soon as you sit down for a coffee, you're online again for another couple of hours. Don't stay away too long though, although you'll know when you're ready to return.

Best Wishes to mum and baby for yesterday
Glad all went well with procedures etc. that one or two of you had this week.

Emily49 I love Marydoll and her antics and I too have laughed many a time. Although she's a very unwell lady she still finds humour somewhere in whatever she does.

Thoughts to harrigran and Auntieflo who are having it tough at present

It's clouded over now so I'll give the washing a miss and tidy up instead.

Thinking of Ellianne and the poorly pet. I know how distressing it can be.

I wish everyone a good day and hoping Ashcombe feels a bit better and anyone else out of sorts.
Take care everyone and stay safe xx

Good morning from a very wet north of Scotland.
B9 lovely news.
Sar. Should you waken your husband and get him checked out?

Have the best day you can.

Good Morning all from a very overcast Cornwall. No rain was forecast but the sky is saying the opposite. Fingers crossed.

GrandMattie Those tubs sound lovely.
Laura. Take care and I hope it's not too long before we hear from you. I wonder if you will pop in occasionally as an observer.
Ellianne I'm wondering if you've got to the vets yet (nearly 10.00 as I type this).
Corner and Greyduster I must definitely get a kneeler. I have a really good pad but it's more to help me get back up again than anything.
Jax Wow - love the tiled path. What's his next project?
Urmston crass comments really hurt. I'm still flabbergastered at something my lovely daughter said about me last night. I can't do right from wrong it seems. I hope you enjoyed your walk despite the comment.
B9 Lovely news. A two year gap between siblings has it's disadvantages and advantages.

We are awaiting the delivery of an exhaust for my car. Then MrM will fit it. Hopefully tomorrow I will be mobile again. I've warned MrM that we must have a second car. We are so isolated where we live. His car's been off the road dismantled for 2 1/2 years now. I owe my farmer neighbour a big bottle of rum for helping when the exhaust broke on Tuesday. I'd just reached the top of our track when it happened. Limped back home and he took me to pick Mya up from the dog creche.

Time for my second coffee. Paper work and a tax return to do today and some seeds to prick out. Nothing from my son about his interview. I'll wait till after my granddaughter has had her hospital appointment tomorrow and then I'll get in touch over the weekend. More fingers crossed.

Well done with all the 2nd vaccines. Take care everyone.

Good morning from a cloudy but bright Black Country.

MrJ is off on a site visit this morning (he is doing some consultancy work for a friend). So I am going to take myself off to Merry Hill (or Merry Hell as it's called round here). I have vouchers from my birthday last September still to spend.

I have to agree Urmston about Malaga. We haven't been for 2 years now, and doubt we will get there this year. We like to stay in Malaga for a week, then onto Benalmadena Peublo for a few days. Hopefully we can make it September 2022!

Congratulations to B9 on the safe arrival.

So sorry to her about your dear cat Elliane

Take care Laura hope to see you soon
