Good morning Sunday from Mick

Nannagarra

Is that a crown I see you wearing at the top of the thread Maw below the word ‘declare’?

It is - one always has great pleasure in declaring a lovely friendly thread like this “open”

Ellan I too enjoyed the programmes on Tina Turner.

Creeping in in just in time for a good morning everyone from hot and sunny Anglesey. Thank you Maw for deputising. Hope the tech is soon sorted Mick.
Good luck with the hip op Alizarin.
Lovely news for you Georgesgran, I’m sure you’ll see lots of little glances and quirks that remind you all of baby’s grandpa as time goes on.
Glad you’ve found flamingos Muse. Happy birthday to husbands, partners, children and grandchildren, lots of lovely Gemini folk. Orlin was 71 last week and I actually cooked (heated up) all meals on the day. A rare treat for him.
Oops good afternoon suddenly.
Have a lovely sunny Sunday all
???

Good morning, everyone including, hopefully, Mick, who I hope is soon sorted.
I have been to the garden centre for compost and had to apply severe restraints in the plant buying department. I only bought 3, ones that fit in with my vague mental design. I found the advantage of having silver hair is that young men want to push your trolley and load your car for you. These days, I let them!
Speaking of cars, I have had Ashcombe moments too. Once, driving home from work, I stopped at the local supermarket, parking on street. When I came out, I walked home, several hundred yards. On arrival, I immediately saw no car on the drive and for a split second, thought it had been stolen until the truth dawned! I had to walk back and retrieve it. I was only in my forties at the time too.
Congratulations to you and your family, Georgesgran, a relief to you all I'm sure.
Best wishes to all in recovery and the best possible day to all.

Good morning from a wet East Midlands where it has just started to pour with rain. Quite warm though. Hope you all have a safe and sane Sunday, not easy.

Made up for you Georgesgran though can completely understand your sentiments about your DH. Your DS2 is an absolute star and an inspiration!
Happy birthday MrKate.
Good luck for tomorrow and hope all goes well Alizarin.

To Lins1066 as well. ?

When you have the answer please tell Mya. Her day is not complete unless she dug at least one hole. Our walks in the wood are constant stop starts. She still has to dig in the garden!

Good Morning All x.
After a very cloudy and overcast start the sun has melted all the clouds and is belting down again with its welcome heat.
There were 4 of us in the garden yesterday and it was great though we all made a bee-line for the shaded part after a while.
Then about 4pm it clouded over and was suddenly quite cool so we parted company and went back indoors.

I even put a cardigan on , well I would wouldn't I ? I started to prepare my dinner at that point so the day soon went, ending later with programmes about Tina Turner which I thoroughly enjoyed and went to bed happy.

Hope you can get sorted with your computer Mick, what a nuisance. I get bogged down at times and am forever losing programmes and have to re-sign in.It's a pain.
Thanks to Maw for being second in command.

Congratulations all round for the new life Georgesgran safely into the world. A tinge of sadness too. x

Glad to hear that yesterday went well for all aside from one or two blips that had occurred which can always be rectified, with nothing of a serious nature involved.

I hope everyone enjoys their day today and are able to get out and about. Stay safe and take care on your travels.xx

Heard lovely things about Duchy.
I’m about to start asking for my other hip to be done.
The NHS consultant I saw at Treliske liked to use Hayle. It’s a long trek as we’re mid Cornwall. Had it done in August ? and the holiday traffic was terrible. 45 min journey turned into 2 hours the first time MrM visited . Told him we’d cope with phone calls.

Nannagarra
Realised the other day that on my iPhone I can see the ? . I’ve always used my laptop for GN but was without it for two days last week.

Happy Flamday everyone.
??????????

Thinking of you tomorrow Alizarin.

MrNanKate says a great big thanks for all your kind wishes. ???

Thank you to those of you sending good wishes. Muse I'm going to the Duchy Hospital. Lovely staff there too. But I know Hayle Hospital, a really nice friendly place. If the NHS weren't using the Duchy I've no idea how long I'd have waited.

Congratulations Georgesgran I’m glad all went well.

Hope all goes well tomorrow Alizarin. Wondering which hospital you’re going to. I had my hip done at Hayle but that’s NHS. Such lovely staff. Excellent physio.

Late to the party this morning. No reason, just that getting the day started takes a while and then a walk round the garden to check on what is coming out and what needs to be cut back. Cloudy after some overnight rain, so probably not an outdoors day. A generally cheerful thread today which is good so hope the day is kind to us all and that the travellers have no dramas.

Maw and GF you are no help ?

Good morning from a slightly damp Worcestershire. I'm still in bed! I'm recovering from my day in the forest with my grandson yesterday. We split and stacked logs then did some repair work on some signposts. After lunch we tagged along with a group of students who are working in the conservation of old buildings industry. They came to the forest to learn about the oak used in timber framed structures and to visit the sawyard on a nearby farm. Grandson and I learnt a lot and it was nice walking through the woods with him chatting about his plans for the future.
Today will be a bit more relaxed. ?
Congratulations Georgesgran on the safe arrival of your new grandson. I hope you lots of happy times with him.
We are awaiting our daughters first baby due on the 14th of this month. Exciting times!

Have a good day everyone.

Greetings from sunny Sefton. Apologies as I have yet to read your posts.
More faffing and cycling on my agenda today. Hoping to find a smile and a flamingo and sending express wishes that you do too.
????? (soz muse but I can’t resist them)

Good Luck tomorrow Alizarin

Good Morning all from cloudy Harrogate. This is my 2nd attempt - we've been having internet problems and yesterday DH decided he could fix it - Never knew he could!! He couldn't, we ended up with no internet and guess who had to spend 1 hour to virginmedia unsuccessfully trying to sort it. Apparently we have a technician coming n Wednesday. Note to Mick, never let my DH try to sort your internet problem if we are in the area!! Eventually he manage to get a TV working, and the internet comes and goes!!
Ash you have reminded me of the time I drove from Wokingham to Reading, and couldn't remember which car park I'd left the vehicle in! I found it in the one next to Reading Jail!! (that was baby brain not working). Another time I'd picked up a courtesy car in Glasgow and driven into the city. I parked it in the Savoy car park, did my shopping, got back to the car park and couldn't remember what make my car was! I knew it was red (as where half the cars at that time). After a bit of detective work I tracked it down.

Hoping for a trip to Homebase to see if I can get sone paint. Won't be able to view church until this afternoon. Shall have to find out if I can go there next week

Georgesgran great news! Maw thanks again for opening up.
Hope everyone has the best day possible.

Alizarin wishing you well for your op tomorrow ?

Good morning Mick and all (thank you Maw for staring us off)

I am being exceptionally lazy, still in bed looking at the beautiful blue sky the air is so still that our trees are barely rustling.

No plans, no idea what we shall have for dinner it’s definitely a go with the flow sort of Sunday.

Congratulations Georgesgran I totally understand the bittersweet feelings, my Mum tried so hard to love to see AC No.4’s first child, unfortunately she died just six weeks beforehand, our GD has her name and the same colour eyes.

( Marydoll please don’t let other threads get to you* )

Enjoy your day whatever your plans

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Wishing you well for tomorrow Alizarin

Congratulations Georgesgran on the birth of your new grandchild.

Good luck for tomorrow’s hip op Alizarin.
