Good Morning Everyone,
Its looking like a sunny start here in Brackley ,and know wind at the moment.
Yesterdays trip was OK ,apart from the rain shower when eating and drinking outside, but otherwise I did manage to get what I wanted.
Today, a local shop, then stay in with a coffee and biscuits later , also TV , normality as we knew seems to be slowly returning .
Take Care,
Mick

Borrheid, that's interesting. I'm not surprised, I do live in a very dodgy area! ?

I'm still black and blue from my squash booby test a few weeks ago! ? I'm not having much luck at the moment! wink

PS, Borrheid: The hairdresser was cutting my hair last week and was talking about your mum! All good things I have to say!!!

Good morning from West Sussex. Same mix of sunshine and cloud as yesterday but a lot calmer as far as I can see, looking out!

I had my second jab yesterday morning. Then I rushed around doing ‘everything’ so that I could collapse today. ‘Everything’ included delivering my late mum’s wheeled walker to a former neighbour who is waiting for a second hip replacement and is now very restricted; had a coffee and cake in the Fair Trade cafe as I was feeling a bit wobbly after the vaccine; three charity shops and Bon Marche sale where I bought some nightwear (don’t ask about the charity shops - I couldn’t have bought 3 books and a shoebox full of craft stuff, could I?);picked up library reservations and had a wee browse for the first time since before Christmas; finally went to M&S food with a tiny detour into Next which is beside M&S. I arrived home after six hours and collapsed ?.

I had a bit of a headachy feeling, like last time, by bedtime but took paracetamol and slept ok. I got up very late and plan to do a little gentle seed sowing and finish Hamnet for tomorrow’s book group which may be back on Zoom as rain is forecast - we were to be in a members garden.

I do hope your side-effects wear off soon, Marydoll.
Jet so sorry for the postponement to your op. Ellianne, your poor dog but it’s lovely that cat and dog were such good friends.
Borrheid, I have been having fun puzzling over maps trying to work out Marydoll’s location from subtle clues ?

Marydoll Wed 05-May-21 12:27:21

Litterpicker, Borrheid's clue ain't that subtle! ?

Thank you for the explanation, that makes sense, hope Iris is okay now she is back home? Though I still can't get that other definition out of my head....!!. shock

Yes, Iris is out of hospital, she’s had her second operation, stretched her leg the required 6cm and waiting to have the frame/cage removed.
Try to remove the horrid flamingo ? reference from your Ming! ?

grandMattie Wed 05-May-21 12:30:00

Mind, mind... Ming? Where did that come from?

Lovely hairstyle Urmstongram, looking great.

Litterpicker Marydoll says my clues are not subtle, that’s only cos she lives there. I thought I was being very subtle! In the book, the golf club is described as “ scenic and challenging “ . My brother is a member of the golf club just north of that one. Does that help? Mary nice that you were talking about my mum. I hope I can get to visit her soon, last saw her August 2019! Her hairdressers have been so good to her, even dropping in a paper to her. They even escort her back across the road to home.
Enjoy your day ladies!

Borrheid son no.1 is a member of the same one as your brother, not as challenging. DH's, which involves often carrying oxygen, it's so hilly! ?

Good morning/ afternoon Mick, Annie, and all. I can't believe how many posters there are for me to read through.
I have been pottering, shredding old papers, cleaning the bathroom and loo, small rooms, so not too much energy needed.
Yesterday, I shocked the vacuum, and me, and dug her out for a swift run around downstairs. I even managed the stairs. Collapse then for the rest of the day.
We have had a chap here before lunch, measuring up for new blinds. It was nice to be surprised that they will not be as expensive as I had thought.
My vitamin B12 injection is due this afternoon, so a short walk to the surgery, and that's my exercise for the day.
I can't remember who has done what, so thoughts to all those who need them if they are struggling.
Nice to see Sheep back, even if she is bruised and battered.
Marydoll, keep resting and getting your strength back.
Iris is one brave girl, with all that she is undergoing. ??
Sorry to hear that Dexter is still sore. Gentle pats to him.
DH is making lunch, so will wish you all a good day.
