Good Morning Sunday

Good morning from a bright and sunny Black Country.

Happy Birthday Mick & Gwen

So sorry to hear you are in Hospital Dragonfly I hope you are able to be home sooon

Gaga

Mum rang yesterday to say she had lost her mobile phone and could I ring it. So I did but she couldn't hear it. She then confessed she had had a fall along the nature reserve path and perhaps it had fallen out of her bag! She is 91! Just rung her this morning and she is ok ...phew! More upset about losing the phone, but as I said that can be sorted. It only had £4 credit on it. Just need now to source a basic phone that just does calls and texts. No-one answers it when I ring.

Hope you get your phone sorted NanKate technology can be wonderful, but annoying to sort out sometimes.

Wishing you all a lovely day

Many happy returns of your birthday Mick

Morning from S Lanarkshire, sunny here but cold of course!
Happy Birthday Mick and Gwen, enjoy your days.

Lovely photos as usual Ashcombe, I hope things warm up for your break!

That’s horrible and frightening dragonfly, good you’re in the right place to get sorted though.
Hope your day improves Gagagran, it’s rotten feeling so down

baubles, I hope the high regard your uncle was held in is a little comfort, and that you enjoy your long awaited family day.

You’re having a great holiday brook, it still seems like another world to me, but maybe soon.

I had a lovely couple of hours with my youngest grandchildren yesterday, DGS has grown so much.
This has taken me so long to type, I’ll have missed loads but I wish everyone the best day possible ??

Isn't it strange that we feel real sympathy for our poorly grans ?
I usually spend the day wondering how they're getting on----and most of us have never met.

Good morning from a bright and sunny ? East Northants here at DD's. Looks quite still outside for a change.

A red letter day for me yesterday, as it was the first time at shops of any kind for over a year. Goodness, I was like a child in a sweet shop! Came back loaded with shopping bags, and looking forward to a marathon trying on session when I get back home. Several tops, some underwear, and I saw a really nice summer dress which unfortunately they didn't have in my size, but may order on line. It was quite busy, but surprisingly I wasn't worried and felt ok with DD - think she gives me confidence to do things. We found an outdoor coffee van with tables and I enjoyed my first proper cappuccino for a year!

Not sure what plans are afoot for today but I thought I heard mention of the garden centre. Then it will be home for me late afternoon.

Happy May Sunday to all, and a happy birthday ? to Mick!

Good morning from sunny Colchester.

Happy Birthday Mick ??

We had rain yesterday. Not a lot but enough to cheer the garden up. I've got some washing onto the line as more rain is promised later and tomorrow is forecast to be wet too.
DH is out for the day getting one of his voluntary groups ready for re opening. We are both happy to have some space. He'll come home to a roast chicken dinner.

Big hugs to all, especially dragonfly and gaga

Good Morning All x. Happy Birthday Mick. x
Sunny and cloudy again but yesterday turned out alright with plenty of sun in the afternoon so I was sorry I hadn't done my washing. Never mind, I'll take a chance today.
Nevertheless had a pleasant afternoon chatting in the garden with 3 neighbours, so we'll do the same again weather permitting.

My thoughts are with you Dragonfly as I know how you'll be feeling and it's not nice but you'll be sorted I can assure you. x.

Gagagran too, I hope you have a better day. All you can do is take it easy really, difficult as it sometimes is x.

Lovely pics Ashcombe, a change of scenery for you is a break in itself, just keep well wrapped up.

A nice day ahead for you Urmston I know it will be enjoyed by all. Plenty of merriment ahead.

Lamb going in the oven shortly so looking forward to that later with the usual mushy peas which I remembered to soak before I went to bed, cauli and roast. Made my scones so I'll have a couple for afters. I could whip up a quick orange sponge pud. really as they don't take long.

Princess Charlotte has the look of a strong and focussed person who I'm sure will do well, a lovely child. The time has flown since she was born.

I noticed the crumpets got an airing on Twitter last week and it was surprising how many people really do enjoy them. It was quite amusing to see all the posts, though I'm not signed in I can still read them all. Mine are well down the hatch !

Must go and put the washing on and hope for the best so I wish you all a pleasant day in whatever you do or wherever you go but take care and stay safe---still. xx

Hope you can be home today Dragonfly, take things easy x

Good morning, Michael and a Very Happy Birthday to you!????‍♂️. The sun is shining in South Yorkshire but it’s chilly. I slept better last night, having been gently persuaded to get things into perspective rather than blowing them up out of all proportion. But we all do it, I think. GS has persuaded his father to barbecue today and we are invited. I think extra layers will be the order of the day.
Dragonfly I’m sorry to hear you’re in hospital. Hope you start to feel better soon!??. Enjoy your Sunday everyone.

Good morning from Cheshire.
Hope they can stop those palpitations , Dragonfly - a very unpleasant and frightening sensation.
Sunny here but cool. Hope the day improves for those not having a good one.

Thank you nannytopsy

Good morning all from a chilly Glasgow, with sunny and clear blue skies.

Happy birthday to all the birthday people, its my future DIL's too.
Dragonfly, I'm so sorry to hear you are in hospital, but you are in the best place. All my recent episodes have taken place during the night and it can be really daunting and scary if no-one is allowed to be with you, due to Covid. You have had so much to contend with in the last few years. You too, Gaga! ? As a clinician said to me the other day: Why does it always happen to the nice people?.

My second AZ vaccination is now doing it's worst although, not as severe as the last time, I still feel pretty rotten. So I won't be be doing much today, but it's worth all the unpleasantness to get some of my life back. However, I was a bit upset to find out yesterday, that it will not be as effective for me, due to me being immunosuppressed.?

For all you lucky people having family meet ups, enjoy! ?

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Happy Birthday Mick and Gwen enjoy your day and take care xx

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently sunny and cold. Firstly a Happy Birthday to Mick and Gwen. I hope you have a lovely day. Secondly ? to Dragonfly and Gagagran. I hope the hospital visit is a short one Dragonfly and that you feel better. Gagagran it's rotten when you feel low. I hope you have real life support.
Yesterday was a housework day but I didn't get it finished as I was being lazy. I'm regretting that now! So today I have an ironing to do and the windows to clean. My legs are very achy. I think I walked a lot more on Thursday than I have done for a while and my legs are protesting. I might see dd and dgs. To all you having family BBQs and get togethers, have a lovely time.

Happy birthday, Mick, you're rather a young thing still! I hope you have an enjoyable day.
Here in Carlisle it's a lovely sunny day so I hope to make the most of it by visiting the garden centre as tomorrow promises to be a bad day weather-wise . I might even give the lawn a first mow if energy levels permit.
Yesterday's shredding fest was successful. Unfortunately, I went on to go through all my files and weeded out lots of old paperwork so the shredding pile is bigger than before. Probably a job for the rainy tomorrow.
Gagagran your reaction sounds normal in your situation. It will pass but meanwhile, can you rest up and give yourself some little treat? Half an hour with a good book and some chocolate ? For instance. It might sound trivial but it all helps.
And dragonfly, palpitations are frightening, I hope you are soon sorted and home again.
It's good to hear that some of you are out and about with friends and family. Mine are a long way away and, frankly, though I've had my two jabs, I'm still nervous about a meet especially as my DiL is an anti-vaxxer. I don't want or need even a mild dose of Covid. Or do I just need to 'woman-up'?!
But..a good day to all I hope.

Happy birthday Mick, and thank you! Xxx

Good morning from the S Welsh coast, a beautuful, sunny one too.
Happy birthday Mick and Gwen ?
It's a shock to read that you are in hospital dragonfly, I hope that you are sorted out and come home soon, my best wishes to you. For gagagran ?
Have a lovely few days away Ash
Our dryer has finally given up the ghost, it belonged to my late parents in law, so we need to do some online research for a new one.
Hope that Cherry is well and had a good night.
Stay safe.

Happy birthday Michael enjoy your day?‍♀️

Good morning from a cool dry Morecambe Bay. It was a cold night but any frost melted before I got up.
Happy Birthday Mick enjoy your day.
Gagagran and Dragonfly and all for whom life I’d difficult at the moment ?.
Hope you are a bit warmer tonight Ash, lovely photos of the sunset.
Not sure whether we are off to church or attend via zoom. Then we will have a drive down the coast in the campa.
Take care everyone and stay safe ???

Good morning from North Yorkshire. It’s bright and sunny so far.

Dragonfly, Gagagran, Harri
DD2 is here. It’s lovely to have some company. Off for a walk today.
Have a good day everyone.Stay safe.

Good morning from Shropshire.

Happy birthday Mick and Gwen???

DGD stayed over again last night so we will take her for her swimming lesson this morning.We are then going to Llangollen for a picnic and hopefully do our Christmas shopping!This is for last Christmas.As we were locked down and couldn’t go to see DH’s family we sent gifts to his parents but didn’t buy for anyone else.We presumed no one would buy for us but apparently there is a stack of presents there for us and the children and as we hope to go down on Wednesday for the day we need to go shopping.DD managed to find us some Christmas wrapping paper in Matalan at 50p a roll!!

Have a lovely few days away Ash and hope you have enough wifi to see olddudders.

Oh dragonfly, what a shock.Hope things have calmed down and you will soon be home?

Hope that Cherry is ok and is feeling better and that her neighbour has allowed them all a peaceful night.

Glad yesterday was a better day harrigran.Thinking of Mary,Auntieflo and all unwell and with worries about loved ones.

Have a good day all.Hope the weather is kind for all the family meet ups??

Morning all from a bright North Leicestershire.

dragonfly, hope you are feeling ok now and they find out what is going on.

Many happy returns to everyone celebrating birthdays today including Princess Charlotte who looks a lot like our Persie!

gaga, just be gentle with yourself, you have had a lot going on.

(((Hugs))) Harri.

Had a lovely day yesterday putting the hall to rights, aided by DD3's partner (he has muscles) and then a couple of hours with DD3 and co.

Today will be a pootling and faffing day before roast beef rib for lunch and the papers in preparation for LOD. We also missed Keeping Faith last night so need to catch up with that.

Welcome Granytilly
