Welcome shazzer110. Hope to see you again!

Grandmajet Best of luck tomorrow!!

Good morning I’m a newbie took David who has Parkinson’s for his physio today which went well returned my nail girls stepdads glasses that I picked up in error yesterday as they were identical to mine ! In the garden as my day off from being GP receptionist always entails some ‘me time’ got a call from social care as need help with David he’s not keen but it has to be will speak to them privately tomorrow had a beautiful evening out for dinner with David and my stepsons was so good to be out and not cook have a good evening everyone

How could I not recognise it? I lived there!!!? No wonder you were dressed up!

Marydoll photo was taken just in front of Troon town hall. Over my shoulder is the open air swimming pool now sadly gone. The houses are on Portland Terrace and Titchfield Road. I spent every Fri-Sun ( and school holidays ) at my aunt and uncles in Union Street until I was 15.

Good luck grandmajet and hope that all goes well.

grandmajet good luck for tomorrow and wishing you a speedy recovery

Borrheid Saltcoats? Very posh for Saltcoats!

We were going for chips and ended up in an Italian restaurant, we haven't been in for twenty years.

Borrheid thank you for the clematis name - I see, being a montana it can grow quite tall. You were lucky to get one from your neighbour - it is quite expensive on the RHS site ?

I hope your DH feels better with his drain out. It’s strange that we are back to nursing at home which was common in our parents/grandparents day. My mother had certificates to show her successful completion of the Red Cross Home Nursing courses. When I had my gallbladder out in late 1980s I was in hospital for 10 days!
I’m sure your DH will appreciate your ministrations but maybe don’t expect him to show it at the moment .

Love the photo - I expect Marydoll will tell us exactly where it is! You are well wrapped up - it must have been July ?

Grandmafrench thank you for your good wishes. The district nurse may take the drain out today, which ,I’m sure will improve things no end.

I hope Mr B feels better soon.

Good morning from West Sussex. It was cloudy earlier but now blue sky with little fluffy clouds sailing by with considerable speed for a cloud.

Happy Birthday Ashcombe ????
And also Maywalk ???

I am aching in all the usual places after a long session weeding at the allotment. I always have to ‘feel the soil’ so can’t resist crushing lumps of earth with my hands instead of raking. Today I can barely hold my coffee mug ?

DH has signed up for a very intellectual sounding webinar from his old university - it is on ‘truth and post truth’. I must try to get my brain in gear to hear about it afterwards ?

Very best wishes Grandmajet. Will be thinking of you
❤️??????

Dogsmakemesmile I was a bigger wuss than anybody when I had to get my plaster off my leg , OH had to come in and hold me down , I was convinced the leg was going to be cut ! No moon boots in those days , I had to use crutches and keep my foot off the ground
Your loss of confidence is understandable , but you will soon be up and back to strength
Wishing you well xxxx

Grandmajet. You take with you my very warmest wishes. Haste ye back. X

Good luck for tomorrow Grandmajet. Our thoughts will be with you and hope that you have a speedy recovery.

Good morning everyone from a deep blue skied Algarve.
Happy Birthday to Ashcombe enjoy your time with your daughter. Did I see that it is Maywalk’s birthday as well? I think that you are a bit more than 70+1 Maywalk? Have a lovely day.
Best wishes to grandmajet we will all be thinking of you.

The weather is lovely at the moment, although the temperature has risen to 30° for the last couple of days, it is still early enough in the year for the air to be fresh and pleasant and the countryside is still green. It’s supposed to get even hotter today so it’s a good job we have a quiet day planned. Yesterday we had to go to a very large do it yourself/building supplies/garden centre and I think I became dehydrated driving over there. We normally have water in the car as soon as the warm weather arrives but haven’t got organised yet. Anyway I had to go and find a chair by the tills while DH wandered around looking for glue (?) and what felt like hours later, having managed to leave the store, go down to the car park and return DH turned up. I had visions of me collapsing in a heap and them having to put a tannoy call out for him. At least we can have a quiet day today as our occasional cleaner worked her magic yesterday.

Good Morning from rural France. It is likely to rain on and off today. Yesterday it held off until late evening, meaning I was able to push the mower round and trim the paddock and the lawn. There is at least as much still to do. Sigh.

Lovely to see so many good wishes for DW Ashcombe's birthday today. Thanks to her daughter we had a Zoom at 08.00 BST, when I was able to join the family in watching her open her cards and pressies. That done, the bambini were whisked off to school, while A and I chatted for our usual something-over-an-hour.

Those who are impressed at A's DD2's headmaster's flexibility should be reassured to know that the girl is very much the fulcrum of the school, and as such her boss knows when he's onto a good thing. She has energy levels and enthusiasm to die for! The employing academy has its eye on her for all the best reasons, too.

I hope those who ail can feel improvement today, and those seeing family and friends for the first time in ages can bask in the joy of re-acquaintance.

Marydoll you might recognise the model and where it was taken! Maybe 1965ish?

Marydoll thank you for your kind wishes. MrB now on antibiotics for wound infection at the drain site. We are waiting for the nurse to arrive - hopefully she will remove it today. As to my patience, I just keep thinking ‘ in sickness and in health’ ! As Julian of Norwich said “ And this too shall pass, and all manner of things will be well” . Maybe , DH will appreciate me more after this …..and maybe not!

Grandmajet good luck ! I’ve done ‘bowel prep’ for colonoscopy twice. It’s not pleasant but necessary. Hope your surgery goes well.

Grandmafrench thank you for your good wishes. The district nurse may take the drain out today, which ,I’m sure will improve things no end.

Happy birthday Maywalk. Have a lovely day.

Good Morning to you all from a bright & dry Cambs., I've had enough of this unsettled weather now.

Happy Birthday to Ashcombe, enjoy your time with your family. .

Best wishes for grandmajet, hope all goes well for you. .

Warm thoughts to you all, especially those with added problems, .

Thank you hollysteers I am feeling a lot better now. I think I need to keep myself busy or I slump. Still lovely sunshine here and elevenses soon!

Good Morning to Mick??‍♂️and all. It's a lovely Cornish sunnyish day here. Temp is up slightly but forecast says it's set to plummet in a couple of days. Hopefully no frost. Our little frost pocket has had enough.

Happy birthday?Ashcombe. Welcome to the 70+1 club. Have a brilliant day. ☕️
Lots of comings and goings in the Jax abode today. Sounds like your garden will be awash with colour and joy.?
Gingster. A bluebell wood is so uplifting. Thank you for the photo.
Thinking lots of positive thoughts for you grandmajet.
Dogsmakemesmile. It doesn't matter how small or huge our situations and dilemmas are they are all hurdles to over come. None are trivial. Talking about them helps towards gaining confidence and courage to face the days ahead.
B9 It is emotional when family are long in replying to our texts but drop them a little nudge today. I have a son, who's the master at not replying.
BlueSapphire I put the NHS app on my phone last night and set it all up. It's working OK but there was no request for a my photo. Which part of the setting was this on? I have an iphone8.
Urm and Jax I helicopter watch. We can hear the new super big red Cornwall Hospital air rescue one coming from miles away. It's so fast. A massive £2m was raised for it. Then there's the Western Power Line check one chugging along.

MrM is quietly simmering in the corner. He's had a letter from his NHS dentist. She is going private and the other NHS dentists at the practice are full so can't take him. He's been with them for over 20 years.

I'm off to get the car washed today, take Mya for a different walk, drop rubbish off at the dump and hopefully finish cutting the grass later today. No more car research as an Audi garage have one coming in soon and he will give me a ring. MrM still has the propshaft to put back on mine.

One month to go and my daughter and granddaughter will be here. Miss them so much. Then hopefully dear son will visit in 3 months time.

Lots of hugs for everyone. It warms me to read so many of you getting them.

Good morning Mick and all from Sunnyside northwest Lancashire coast. GD arriving today to and I have set aside photos for her from years ago, newly born etc and a baby spider plant. I’m enjoying putting the babies from the main spider plant in little pots. That’s one plant my brown thumb (not green finger) can keep alive along with a cactus.
Even though it gets sunny, I haven’t been able to keep warm recently so big decisions what to wear! Having to resort to the good old fashioned British cardigan.
My IBS stomach seems a bit calmer today, so will tiptoe around it.
Dogsmakemesmile it’s quite understandable you feel worried, everything going wrong at the moment seems worse than usual. I worry more about the future myself and hope you feel more like your old self day by day.
All the best to grandmajet?
