Good Morning Wednesday

Good morning from Scarborough where it’s raining. Again. We got soaked walking into Scarborough yesterday but then the sun came out and dried us before we got into the town. It was quite busy and the bus back was heaving. I thought alternate seats were cordoned off but no.
It’s supposed to dry up about lunchtime and our original plan was to get the bus into Bridlington. However after yesterday’s experience we have decided to drive and go to Whitby instead. Maybe risk the bus tomorrow for a shorter journey.
Thinking of all with difficulties and hoping Marydoll is up to posting.
Stay safe everyone and take care ???

Good morning from a grey and rainy NE.
DH has to be at the hospital at nine for his chemotherapy, BIL is taking him.
I will use the time to strip the bed and clean the bedroom and bathroom.
Wishing everyone a pleasant day.

Good morning all from Glasgow.

I haven't been doing too well this week and not felt up to posting. Thank you to those who have missed me. ?.
Hopefully by the end of the week, I will pick up and be back with my latest novella. Love to my struggling friends on here.

Morning all from the Black country. Weather not made its mind up yet but can see blue sky in the distance.
Nothing planned today tend to take each day as it comes. Might go for a walk round the arboretum haven't done that in a while.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny ?Northampton. Waiting for a delivery of my new phone, very excited, but will have to wait till I go to DD's for them to set it up for me.

Well yesterday I joined my first health walk since pre Covid days! My friend picked me up, and it was so nice to see familiar faces. I tired quite quickly and got out of breath, but managed the 45 minutes. Afterwards we went to a local cafe and sat out with a coffee. Will be trying another walk this afternoon.

My new phone has arrived even as I write this!

Take care everyone.

Good Morning everyone.

Hoping today is a better one for everyone and troubles and worries, pain and discomfort has faded a little after rest and a good night’s sleep. Hope too that the weather improves and you can all lift your faces to the sun - at least for some of today ?
I always feel it’s difficult to re-visit a much-loved home once you’ve sold it. . Always too much dramatic change or, worse, neglect (especially for gardens). Sad to see but maybe it takes away any regrets because you had it, loved it, cared for it but now you just have those memories. Once it features in someone else’s life I suppose it’s simply theirs to do whatever they like with! (However it brings on our nervous tics!)

If your first thought is you really don’t want to spend a week hosting your nephew & co., and being a tour guide, gingster then I’d hold that thought. Can’t think of anyone not feeling pleased to be able to use another’s holiday home without them being there. How kind are you! And how nice they feel able to ask. We’ve all shared some pretty hard times over more than a year, so why not tell them straight that you really don’t want to commit to anything at present - you want freedom to come and go wherever and make plans just for yourselves when the mood takes, but if they’d like to borrow the cottage for a week, you’re happy with that. They can perhaps hire a car and be free to travel around. They get their holiday in your lovely home by the sea and you won’t feel resentful that your time is being spent doing anything you’re not truly excited about.

Today I shall iron, take some pittosporum cuttings, make spicy fish cakes for lunch with a salad and take my neglected little car out for a spin this afternoon. We may go to the beach which will hopefully involve ice cream and the dogs will enjoy a romp by the water before their summer ban starts on 1st June until 1st October!

Everyone unwell, sending thoughts and wishing hard for you today and always.

Take care all. Hugs from ?? ????‍♀️

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Morning all. My birthday today so am still not dressed. Got a cuppa in bed not made by me ! Family all have sent greetings. I am very lucky.

Good morning from Shropshire.

We had a lovely day with our DGS yesterday.We had planned a meal out together when DD and SIL got home from work but the pub had lost our booking so it was fish and chips instead.We have rebooked for next time we look after DGS??

We have also booked a weekend away for the end of next month and another few days away in August?better dust off the suitcases!

Cherry, I hope that you have had a peaceful night and that both you and Mary feel better after a few days of rest and recuperation?

Thinking of all going through sad times?

Have a good day all??

Happy birthday Grandmajean?????

A very Happy Birthday grandmajean enjoy your special day!

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s not raining now but we’ve had heavy rain during the night. I’ve slept in this morning. Lovely when that happens. Weird dreams though.

Off to Simply Food picking up my stepfather on the way. And a hospital ENT doctor is ringing me this afternoon. I’ve been on the waiting list for an appointment since February and this is some kind of triage system.

Ooh a second cuppa has just been brought in to me. I’m spoiled. I shall make Burford Brown boiled eggs and crumpets fr us once I’ve drunk it. In the meantime I’m going to read all your posts.

Hope Wednesday is good to us all. Stay cautious. x

Happy birthday Grandmajean have a lovely day ???

Back again...

Marydoll take care and rest, looking forward to a novella from you when you are ready.

Happy Birthday grandmajean ??

Beautiful morning so am planning to spend some time in my very weedy borders once I have got DH up and ready to face the day. Nothing else in view other than planning meals for the weekend when we have visits from both AC and the GC including everyone for lunch on Monday provided it is fine. It’s so long since I did more than feed the two of us that I am in a state of near panic at the thought so must take myself firmly in hand.

Sorry that Marydoll is still feeling rotten and hope she begins to feel better soon, and that Auntie Flo and Cherry also have a good day. Everything feels more positive with a little sunshine.

Good morning everyone. Drizzling here in the Scottish Borders. Felt rather grim yesterday but have bounced back. Just made a curry for tea and on my second load of washing shortly. Will tackle bathroom. Reading and radio for me. I am grateful not to have to do anything more though would love to. Happy birthday grandmajean and a happy as possible day to those who are toiling today.

Good Morning all from the Scottish Borders where it is wet. Too wet to mow the grass which is turning into a meadow. Monty Don would be impressed but I don't think the postie will want wet feet.
Maybe this is the year when I build or have a path built across the lawn to the back door where the letter box is.

Sorry to hear you have been poorly Marydoll
Happy Birthday Grandmajean

When my in-laws had a cottage Grandmafrench, we took full advantage of their generosity and regularly stayed when they weren't there and invited my extended family
We were mortified when they sold the place. No more free holidays.

Have as best a day as you can everyone.

Happy Birthday Grandmajean ???enjoy your day.

Look after yourself Marydoll and happy birthday Grandmajean

Sorry to hearyou are so down Marydoll and others, do hooe you perk up soon. Good to hear yiu are back safely Ash

We are off back home today ourselves shortly, have to pack up. Good news text from DS1 in Scotland, wants to come down from Scotland for Father's Day weekend, Yippee! It has been so very long!

I’ve caught up now! Many happy returns of the day to you Grandmajean. Whatever you get up to remember to keep it classy lady. Sorry you’re having a rough time Marydoll I bet you feel low in spirits because of it. Hope you feel better very soon.

I got to your post Gingster and immediately thought ‘suggest they hire a car’ as that overall would not be too expensive for a holiday week in a cottage in Norfolk , then further down saw exactly that suggestion from GrandmaFrench. Great minds think alike .... or is it fools seldom differ?

?

Good morning from a wet West York's going to garden centre for some plants then hopefully potting this aft
Happy birthday Grandmajean ? .Sending?? to all feeling unwell .Take care everyone.

Happy Birthday Grandmajean

Happy birthday Geandmajean?

Back to say happy birthday to GrandmaJean and get well soon to Marydoll.
