Good Morning Thursday

Good morning everyone. Wet here in the Gower this morning.

What a gorgeous baby your new DGD is Scentia ? Congratulations to your DD, you and the rest of your family.

It was quite an odd day yesterday. The kitchen flooring wasn't done after all ?. Instead we had a visit from the plumber querying the fitting of a toilet . It's the kitchen we're having done! Surely people don't fit toilets in their kitchen ?. We certainly have no intention of doing that! He explained. When I was making my kitchen plans, to ensure the completed works would be safe for me, I had an OT assessment. Apparently my OT recommended I also have a safer toilet ? and a wet room to boot. Not sure why that was done and I've had no discussion about it, until yesterday. Very odd ?. Anyway, the flooring had better be done today!!

Urmstongran, should we all be using #Geisha t address you now ?. I have very clear images .... very elegant ?

Susan I hope your DD is feeling a little better today and that appointment goes ahead ASAP ? ?

Must dash ... knock on the door!
Take care everyone ❤️

Good morning all.
Congratulations Scentia - beautiful baby.
Yesterday was a good day. A health worry concerning 16 year old granddaughter turned out fine . I had an impromptu lunchtime chat with DS in his garden and I managed to post a photo on Gransnet without too many choice words !
Not much happening today but Zoom choir late afternoon with a great bunch of friends. That'll do me.
Have as good a day as possible all.

Heartwarming picture, huge congratulations Scentia!

Noooooo Gwen, stop teasing!!!!??????? I never leave there empty handed. ?
I sound such a shallow person. I can assure you, I am ?

Good morning all. Low clouds in Polmont and it doesn't look great. Yesterday was so wet most of the day. It is milder at nights though so hopefully no more threat of frost. I had a fairly busy day yesterday. Haircut first then I had to buy a gift for a new baby. Then my usual visit to mum, then to my friend for coffee. Back home and a long WhatsApp chat with friends in the afternoon. I had put makeup on for the first time in ages and it has upset my skin. It's probably out of date so I'll throw it away and buy new stuff. I rarely wear makeup.
Congratulations Scentia on your beautiful new granddaughter. That's such a lovely photo.
Today is a nothing planned kind of day. I enjoy the quiet on a Thursday. I wish the weather was better so I could enjoy being in the garden more. I'll potter about. Whatever your plans are, have a good day all.

We have the dry but cloud covered sky here in Nottinghamshire too. It seems the favourite weather for today!
What a lovely baby, Scentia, a lovely image to start the day.
Good luck with jab2, Mick.
It sound as if you walk at my speed, Urmstongran!
Yesterday I spent a couple of hours at the hospital while they checked if I’m fit to be ‘done’ next week. I think I passed.

About your last sentence, marydoll, I’m relatively new, as you know. I haven’t found this thread unwelcoming. I realise that many of you ‘know’ each other well, and I have enjoyed trying to get to ‘know’ you all too. It’s not easy always to remember who has done what, but worth the effort. I just enjoy reading all the news, and often have a giggle. Thank you all.

Enjoy the day.

Good morning all from sunny Penruddock!! Today we are off to see my sister who we haven’t seen for 2 years (in person, that is). En route we will stop at Gretna Village, a shopping outlet that Marydoll would love!!
Super picture of your new GD Scentia hope everyone is well.
Yesterday we went to Cockermouth, birth place of William Wordsworth and Christian Fletcher, a nice little town where the rain managed to hold off. Glad you managed to get to Prestwick, marydoll. The beach must be a mess now the Parkstone Hotel is being demolished- so sad there’s only one hotel left and it’s the one my wedding reception was held!!
Keep well everyone, have the best day possible!

All new posters - I would echo Marydoll’s comment. We are warm, supportive and welcoming, but as she says there is now a huge number of us and sometimes newbies get missed. This is emphatically not deliberate.
I hope the lurkers feel brave enough to join and, who knows, you might become one of the much commented upon regulars!

Good morning from Durham - very grey and overcast. My first visit to Newcastle yesterday for nearly a year - hit a pothole, resulting in a flat tyre! Couldn’t budge wheelnuts so had to call out breakdown. Interesting trip home at 48mph on emergency wheel in rush hour.
Congratulations to scentia and family, my DD2 has been given 7/6 as admission date for her caesarean - will be pleased when both she and baby are safe and well.
Doggy wrangling later but coffee with a friend first.
Have a safe day everyone. X

Good morning from a dry Morecambe Bay. Congratulations on the little one Scentia
Woke up to a text from DS3 who booked his jab at 7.00 this morning. He was thrilled when I messaged him last night to stay he could book from this morning.
I’m often asked what my favourite plant is. My answer varies it depends on the season but this one a paeony commonly known as Molly the Witch is definitely on the list. The bees like it too.
Take care and stay safe everyone

Good morning from a dull Leicestershire.

Many congratulations Scentia what a beautiful girl.
How exciting for you Harri I am seeing mine at the weekend.

Good morning from a grey, rainy Colchester.
The singing carpenter is plastering today, not good weather for it.
We were treated to the army band rehearsing in the park yesterday. Excellent entertainment but they only knew one time!!! Apparently it was for a recording so it had to be spot on.

My new surgery want me to see the nurse this morning for an MOT before they'll write my repeat prescription. I am very pleased as my old surgery just signed them without checks unless I insisted.

More workmen, introduced by the carpenter, are coming to quote this afternoon and Jay's online quiz with the family this evening.

Congratulations Scentia ?? and love to all x

Good morning all and it’s raining here in Essex. Typical , as I am rambling today with a friend. ?. I’m not sure whether to phone her and cancel or wait to see if it eases.

Yesterday was beautiful. We sat in our friends garden (6 of us) and had coffee/cake and then a glass of wine. Reminded us of our old caravanning days, altogether. Happy memories!

We are thinking of going to our cottage by the sea tomorrow but the weather next week isn’t going to be good. We don’t usually mind as it’s a nice change of scene, anyway. We’ll have a think and decide later. ?.

Many congratulation Scentia on the birth of your granddaughter. I was wondering how things were going with you DD . ?.

Keep dry today ☔️. Let’s hope for rainbows ?

Wishing you all a ‘good’ day. ?

Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow.

Congratulations, Scentia, you must be over the moon. A friend's first grandchild, a boy, was born yesterday. I taught her daughter twice in my career, so I'm chuffed to bits!
Susan, sending my very best wishes to your daughter and hugs to you, I suspect you need one.

A small shop today, as Mick would say. I have cancelled my regular Tesco order for tomorrow for a number of reasons. My cupboards, freezer and garage are full stuff and I want to give my DD a rest from having to come on a Friday to unpack for me. DH is accompanying me, so not an arduous task. There is another reason, which I will reveal tomorrow. ?
I have a couple of bits of sewing to do to keep me busy, as I don't have the energy for working in the garden.

For all those who are receiving vaccinations today, I hope you don't experience too many side effects. Mine are just starting to wear off after a fortnight! I know I won't be fully protected due to my meds suppressing my immune system, but I now have a fighting chance!

Dragonfly, hoping to hear all went well at the hospital yesterday.

I read a couple of posts yesterday on GN, which said the GM thread was cliquey and welcoming. It bothered me a bit, so this is a special mention for all who lurk, but are reluctant to post. People don't deliberately ignore new posters, it's such a busy thread and often difficult to keep up. Some of us have been on this thread for years, so appear to know each other. Everyone is welcome.

Have the best day you can.

Good morning from a dry NE.
I had a busy day yesterday with lots of nice things to eat but today I am tired.
DD and SIL will visit this afternoon, 17 months since I have seen them.
Congratulations Scentia, lovely to see new GC.

Good morning from a damp Essex by the sea. Very grey and miserable looking .
Congratulations Scentia to you and all the family, what a beautiful picture.
I hope your daughter starts to feel better soon Susan.
Shopping this morning and catching up with some tv this afternoon.
Have a pleasant Thursday everyone xx

Morning all from a cloudy, breezy and non-too warm south coast. Had a bit of rain in the night and more in the forecast for today.

DH's surgeon rang yesterday, as scheduled, but 15 minutes early and DH was in the loo so I had a chat with him and was able to give a report on progress, which continues to be good. DH will need another scan and more tests in July, 12 months after the initial op. just to confirm things are OK. We knew that was on the cards. The surgeon will now confer with the other specialist involved about scheduling the third op DH needs, so another move forward towards him being put back together!

I am expecting a delivery for the freezer today and will need to do a bit of reorganising in there to make some space. It might involve chucking out some unidentifiable objects!

Beautiful baby Scentia- you must be very proud of your DD after all she has been through. I hope she soon feels better and enjoys her lovely little family to the full.

Still smiling at your descriptive powers Urms and have visions of you trotting along in full Geisha makeup now!

Hope the day is a good one for us all.

Morning everyone from the Black country, we have the same weather as you Urmston.
Congratulations Scentia lovely photo.
Shopping today then may start a new book.
Hope all goes well with your jab Mick.
Take care all.

Good morning Mick, morning all from very grey South Lanarkshire.

Beautiful photo of your beautiful baby granddaughter Scentia, congratulations to you all.

Nothing quite like cuddling up with little ones GG.

Childminding day for us in the capital, I’m hoping for a dry day so we can get out for a while.

Wishing everyone a peaceful day. ??

Morning Mick, morning All from a chilly, damp (very!) corner of Somerset.

Many congratulations to you all scentia, that’s a heart warming image. Thank you for sharing it.

Good luck with your second vaccination mick, I’m sure all will go to plan.

Relieved there was medical contact for your daughter susan, wishing her a speedy resolution.

A faffing around indoors day for me as the rain is apparently with us for the day. Mr C has promised to give the kitchen a clean, I’ll hold him to that.

Take care everyone. Hope Thursday is kind to us all.

Good morning all from a damp S Hants, I have my second jab later this morning too Mick. Then I’m off to DD’s to await a plumber who’s replacing taps after a leak.
Many congratulations to you and your family Scentia, all’s well, the bestest result? Susan here’s hoping your daughter starts feeling better soon.
Have a gentle day all, thoughts with those poorly, a bit sad, with worries, sending ?? to you all.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s dry with some light grey cloud. At last the rain seems to have moved on and we’ve a dry day forecast.
A very big Congratulations Scentia what a beautiful picture!
No plans today but hopefully I’ll get some gardening done.
Awwww you’ve got a lovely start to the day GG13 - enjoy!
Hope everyone finds something to enjoy today, even something small and take care all whatever the day brings ?

GG13 ?
Mind you a takeaway coffee from the square en route and a stroll ... Himself sometimes jokes and asks if I’m training to be. Geisha ... or whether my shoelaces are tied together. Cheek of the man! I tell him the journey ought to be as enjoyable as the arrival.

Morning Mick and all

Congratulations Scentia welcome to the world little girl, a beautiful photo ??????

Hope all goes well with tests and vaccination Mick
Hopefully your DD will have a better day Susan
Urmstongtan all this walking, you will be losing your #lazygran reputation!
Ashcombe it’s good that our babies are being jabbed, our 35 yr old gets his on Saturday, and even our eldest and his wife in Kenya has theirs yesterday.

I have a 6yr old beside me in bed this morning, we are awaiting our tea (and for him) biscuits, I so enjoy our time when he sleeps over, he is teaching is the intricacies of Mario Games ??

I shall be having a #lazygran day once he is off to school (after a cooked breakfast)

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?
