Good Morning to you all from "sunny at the moment" Cambs.,

Lovely photos, thank you Urmstongran, both for the bluebells & for sharing Maw's special new friend. happy times ahead for Maw & Rosie.
dragonfly, good wishes for your Dexter's op., he's gorgeous.

Have another great day in Cambridge, Brook.

Warm wishes to you all, especially those with extra troubles. flowers

Urmstongran Fri 30-Apr-21 12:10:19

Sorry everyone for the confusion. That single photo next to Maw words is of GRACIE not Hattie.

Good job I don’t have a scalpel in my hand doing something important today ...

Who is Gracie?

Lins1066 Fri 30-Apr-21 12:13:19

What a lovely dog Maw, thank you for showing the photos of Rosie, she is one lucky dog.
Hope Dexter gets on well today.
Take care of yourself today Cherry, so far you've sent the sun over the Bay to us.

Urmstongran Fri 30-Apr-21 12:19:28

Oh Rosie apologies all round! Maw used to have 2 rescue greyhound dogs - Hattie & Gracie.

Now she has 5y old Rosie.

I’m going for a lie down ....

Well - it's good afternoon from sunnyish Cornwall. ?
Had a very quick scroll through today posts.. I do like Maw's rescue dog. A lady after my own heart. Thank you for the photo of Rosie Urmston.

I've been busy with delivery of sleepers and phone calls about a new silencer box for my car most of the morning. The one that arrived yesterday has a different fitting ! I've now left MrM getting his welding gear out to make the necessary adjustment. Suzuki don't stock the one I need. Car will probably not be on the road till the weekend. ??
I'm trying to decide whether or not to buy tickets for an Eden Session. A band I like are appearing in September. It's open air and standing. It's an amazing site for a gig.

Today is full of pricking out seeds and walk around the wood with Mya.

Feel very lost without a car. It must be like stranded on a desert island. Good thing there's enough food in to last till the Sainsbury's delivery on Sunday. Never done it but nearest shop is probably an hour's walk away.

I will read through the posts later on today before I visit soop's kitchen.?

Roses Fri 30-Apr-21 12:31:16

URMS no need to apologise Gracie must have been before my time on GN

Don't worry your not cracking up?

Auntieflo Fri 30-Apr-21 12:33:18

Good morning Mick, Annie and all.
I still am muzzy, and not quite 'me', but I have skim read, and must thank Urms, for the picture of Rosie. Every time I see a picture of a greyhound / lurcher, I think of Maw , so wish her well with her new companion .
Also thanks for the bluebell photos, it reminds me that we should visit a local park that has beautiful bluebells.
Marydoll, are you overdoing it again? ?
Dragonfly, what a gorgeous boy Dexter is. Best wishes for his op.
Cherry you sound as busy as six people, slow down, and relax! It is a Bank Holiday you know. ?
Ginster, your remarks of local places made me nostalgic. Many years ago, when first married, we lived in Rayleigh, so I remember those places.
Must go now, DH wants a lift into town.
Have a good day one and all.

What Urmston says is true (apart from getting Rosie's name wrong grin) Ellan. You must do what is best for you and as you have already had one vaccination you are protected and you protect those around you.

Latest update from the hospital, little Olive's jaundice has eased slightly, so they may be able to come home today. She still looks very sun tanned, when DS was like that I was advised to dress him in green!

Thinking of ginny, hope she doesn't have too long to wait.

Urmstongran Fri 30-Apr-21 12:49:07

Roses ?

Urmstongran Fri 30-Apr-21 12:51:32

No dragonfly keep up at the back. I got Rosie’s name right she’s on the 2-photo shoot in her dog basket.

The 1 dog was what I got wrong.
I called her Hattie and Maw reminded me that it was in fact Gracie.

Maybe I should just let sleeping dogs lie?!
??

Stilllearning Fri 30-Apr-21 14:15:03

Came to this dog names conversation late: was Maisie not mentioned at one point? Whose dog was she? Sorry Urms!

Marydoll Fri 30-Apr-21 14:34:39

Maw was going to rename Rosie, Maisie, but decided to keep Rosie, as it suited her better.....I think. I'm trying to trawl back my messages from Maw to confirm!

Stilllearning Fri 30-Apr-21 14:43:43

Thanks Marydoll, mystery solved and I’m not, as I feared, totally confused.com!

B9exchange Fri 30-Apr-21 16:57:14

Mum and Olive have been allowed home, such a relief! Freddie is being incredibly caring and gentle with his little sister, he is a bit concerned about the large lump on her head! Good news all round on the baby front... grin

Jaxjacky Fri 30-Apr-21 17:00:40

Much joy for everyone B9 ???

Marydoll Fri 30-Apr-21 17:15:50

Oh what fantastic news, B9

B9exchange Fri 30-Apr-21 17:17:35

Thank you both, now we can really open the champagne, but not too much as we have been invited to go and see her tomorrow!

Ashcombe Fri 30-Apr-21 17:47:03

Such happy news, B9exchange! You won't sleep tonight in anticipation of seeing this lovely little lady! I'm glad Freddie is being the protective older brother!
Here's to the good health of you all! ???

grandMattie Fri 30-Apr-21 17:50:30

So happy for you all, B9! ??

Blossoming Fri 30-Apr-21 17:51:17

Lovely news B9exchange

Susan56 Fri 30-Apr-21 18:00:00

Lovely news B9.

When my daughter had jaundice she was treated in hospital,this was 35 years ago.DGS1 had jaundice,he is now 3 and DD and SIL were advised to position his crib by the window at home as the sunlight would sort it out which it did.

dustyangel Fri 30-Apr-21 18:07:14

So pleased for you all B9exchange. I knew a lovely lady called Olive. I hope your granddaughter has her temperament.

ginny Fri 30-Apr-21 18:08:19

*B9 *Good news for Olive

Wanted to announce the birth of our new Grandson.
Charlie Joseph born at 9.49 am today weighing 8 lbs 5 oz.
All well and such a relief after all they have been through over the last 3 years or so.
His big brother can’t wait to meet him and ( I suspect ) have Mummy back home.
