Good morning from north Surrey. Dry and overcast here.

I have PT and gym this morning. Boys are here so will need to get them up and ready for school.

Wednesday is my day for bedding change and cleaning our bedroom. Trying to be up to date and ahead of the game as we are off on holiday on Friday.

School run and entertain the boys this afternoon/evening.

Wishing all a good day

Good Morning all from Severnside. I saw some brightness ten minutes ago so I’m hoping it comes back and we have a nice day.

I’ll make sure I’ve got my green waste bin filled and potter outside.

I’ve received a letter from my cousin (she likes paper and an ink pen and doesn’t have a computer or anything). She is now in and out of hospital and has carers coming in to help. She says their bed making skills leave a lot to be desired.

Have a good day everyone ?

Good morning from a grey and wet NE.
Yesterday was a poor day for me, lots of aches and pains.
DH watched the football match at teatime which surprised me as he hasn't been watching TV, I left him to it and went to the study.
DH has a dental appointment this morning to check the site of the abscess and review a loose front tooth.
Live streaming of GD's school concert this evening, brilliant that we can watch online.
Have a good day.

Ashcombe Wed 30-Jun-21 06:50:02

Good morning from a bright and sunny Torbay.

Wish I felt the same! My surgery has asked me to record my BP for a week as I can’t be seen in person. It hasn’t settled since January, 2020 when I was admitted to hospital due to heart issues, diagnosed as stable angina and atrial fibrillation.

Last night, my BP wouldn’t come down from 185/80 plus I had a rapid pulse rate. Paramedics were summoned but results were inconclusive although I’ve been advised to drink more water and ring my GP today for another ECG.

Look forward to reading happier news from you good people. ?

Good morning all from a cloudy and very muggy Glasgow.
I’m quite excited today because five of us are having afternoon tea in the Ebay Queen’s garden. We haven’t been together as a group of friends since before Lockdown. The best part is no travelling is involved, I just have to cross the road! It’s over thirty five years since we first met through the toddler group and have continued and strengthened our friendship through the years.

My plan was to get up early and make tablet for all of them, as they always appreciate it, but I’m so slow this morning. Reading GN hasn’t helped!!! However, I’m unsure if the tablet will behave in this heat! I have also promised to make strawberry tarts, just like the ones from the local baker’s. Unfortunately, although Prosecco is on the drinks menu, much to my disappointment, I can’t partake. sad

Panache and the loss of her beloved John and Jet’s family were in my thoughts all day yesterday. A sad time for the GN community. It is definitely a wise move to give someone you feel you can trust, your email address, just in case. I fear we will never know EV's fate, but I can hazard a guess.

For all those with plans, enjoy your day and special thoughts are with those who are struggling. Harri., I hope your DH’s dentist visit goes well. Great idea about the concert!

kittylester Wed 30-Jun-21 07:04:07

Good morning all from a very dull North Leicestershire.

I'm sorry to hear that you had aches and pains harri and about your worrying day Ashcombe.

Today I am having more highlights done as I feel drab and dreary! Then a few of us are meeting in a friends garden to try to work out how we can start a dementia cafe in the village.

I spoke to my brother yesterday. He was breathless and his speech was quite indistinct. I did gather that he finds it distressing having a catheter and having to be taken to the loo. He is my younger brother who used to kick my shins if he didn't get his own way. It's very sad.

Marydoll Wed 30-Jun-21 07:04:24

Ashcome, how worrying and scary for you, you must have got a fright.. Despite trying umpteen medications mine has been extremely high for years, but nothing has worked to bring it down. It just became stressful, so I stopped measuring my BP in the end.

I hope your GP can reassure you today,

Nannagarra Wed 30-Jun-21 07:08:51

Good morning from the Sefton coast where it is overcast.
A visit to Lymm for a dental check up and stitch removal is on my agenda this morning. I’m hoping to send two photos of a shop front seen the last time I was there. ? (Atm they’re frozen at the preview stage on my phone…)
Oh, Ash, I do hope your BP settles down soon and the ECG goes well.
Have the best day you can everyone. ?

muse Wed 30-Jun-21 07:11:43

Good morning Mick from cloudy mid Cornwall.
I’ll try with some happier news for you ashcombe.

My fall yesterday has resulted in complete rest, ice and painkillers. The surgery were excellent yesterday and said after 24 hours if the pain was still as bad I should get an X-ray to check for a broken fibula . I’m still in bed but last night I managed to put some weight on my foot. I will decide by lunch time whether to leave it one more day. We had 2 crutches in storage. I’m thankful MrM is a hoarder.

DD and DGD have been instructed to ‘see Cornwall’. MrM has his mobile in his pocket and will be by my side if needed. A good book and good tennis today will keep me happy. The sun will be out so DD is going to put me a chair and stool outside. Garden and benches are too low for good support.

Take care everyone.

Nannagarra Wed 30-Jun-21 07:15:43

Shop front in Lymm.

muse Wed 30-Jun-21 07:17:48

?. That should read garden chairs and benches …. Sorry posters.

NanKate Wed 30-Jun-21 07:23:25

Good morning Mick and All from West Sussex where it seems to be brightening up. We are looking after the our DGSs first time since March 2020. Can’t wait to see them when they arrive back after school.

It’s seems rather a sad and concerning day here on GM. So good we have each other to communicate with and share our problems.

I’m sure your highlights will look great Kitty. Enjoy you party Mary. How sad for Panache. Hope you can sort out your BP Ashcombe.

cornergran Wed 30-Jun-21 07:24:30

Morning Mick, Morning All. Our sky can’t make up its mind this morning, look out the front and see grey cloud, look out the back and it’s sunshine and blue sky.

Marydoll is right, a sad day on GN yesterday. Panache has been in my thoughts. Hope that BP settles ashcombe, you must be worried. Pleased your husband is showing some interest in the world again harri but sorry you were achey, tension do you think? I’d made an emergency call to my hairdresser kitty, felt really low about my appearance, felt better after a visit yesterday, , hope the same for you. Pleased you’ve spoken to your brother, good luck with the meeting, a worthwhile project for sure. Enjoy your afternoon marydoll, sounds fun.

Usual Wednesday ahead here. Grocery delivery and dust removal. Also need to empty the car of bits and pieces. A request from the garage before it’s MoT tomorrow. Not sure if that’s usual or our garage is fussy. May do a tip run once the boot is clear, see how we go.

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

NanKate Wed 30-Jun-21 07:24:47

Sorry to hear about your accident Muse.

Jaxjacky Wed 30-Jun-21 07:27:07

Good morning all from sun/high cloud in S Hants. Rather subdued yesterday morning after the sad news on GN.
I did thoroughly enjoy the football in our local last night, out on a week night!
Marydoll enjoy ‘5 go to afternoon tea’ in the sunshine. Harri fingers crossed for a successful dental trip.
Ashcombe bit of a worry and the more the anxiety, it will rise, hopefully it’ll be sorted and settled quickly. The tour is heating up Mick, exciting!
MrJ is off today, his plans include getting the TV in our bedroom working. Much excitement last night as it looks like, after identifying the poo, we have a hedgehog in the garden, I’ll be buying dog biscuits, unknown in this house.
Enjoy your Wednesday everyone, I feel we all need a ?or two, preferably a flock to bring cheer.

cornergran Wed 30-Jun-21 07:27:16

Ouch muse, hope that improves today if not then yes, go for the x-ray, please take care.

Pittcity Wed 30-Jun-21 07:28:14

Good morning from a grey, damp Colchester. Only 15 degrees today.

Usual Wednesday coffee meetup. We'll probably be inside the café in small groups.

It's the 2 week anniversary of the start of our garden work and the paving is still far from finished. The weather isn't playing ball and the guy is juggling jobs. The weeds are loving being left to their own devices.

Much love x

Jaxjacky Wed 30-Jun-21 07:29:15

?for early healing muse.

Alizarin Wed 30-Jun-21 07:32:53

Good morning from a breezy, brightening south Cornwall. Oh muse and Ashcombe, I hope things improve for you soon. My allotment was, as expected, a jungle, with a 12 foot high echium (pictured) rising above the general undergrowth. It was a tiny plant last time I saw it. I managed to hack my way through to the globe artichokes and a bushful of goosberries and discovered a horseradish plant I'd forgotten about. My leeks are six feet high, with flower heads. Plenty of work for the weeks ahead, and I feel much refreshed by having been there. And yes, I was careful. Just did lots of pulling weeds out.

Today, maybe a short trip back there, and then watching the tennis. Have the best day you can.

Grandmadinosaur Wed 30-Jun-21 07:34:18

Good Morning. Again it’s dull here like yesterday although it did brighten up around lunchtime and I did 3 wash loads.
We have dgs today so a full on day! Not sure weather wise what that will be. It might have to be indoor activities maybe soft play and a visit to a cafe for refreshments after. Grandma won’t get to watch much tennis today.
Sorry to hear about your health problem last night Ashcombe hope sport didn’t contribute eh? Seriously wishing you get it sorted soon.
* Marydoll* every time you mention tablet it makes my mouth water. Ever thought doing about mail order!
Sad news yesterday of Grandmajet and Panache thinking of the families involved.

Take care everyone.

ginny Wed 30-Jun-21 07:40:35

Good morning all.
Sad to read that so many of you have problems and hope many are resolved soon.

Looking out of our caravan window, I can see blue sky here in Weston-Super-Mare where we stayed overnight. On to meet our friends in Brixham today.
Hope you can all find a smile today.

brook2704 Wed 30-Jun-21 07:45:37

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s a warm cloudy start to the day. The last few days have been really warm and sunny, we’ve been so very lucky with the weather recently.
A quieter day for me today as SiL is off work today so we’ve not got the DGC to look after. We had a good trip out with them on Monday to Urquhart Castle and yesterday took them out for a walk and a picnic.
I hope your BP settles down Ashcombe, try not to worry and hoping your foot isn’t too painful muse and you’re up and about again soon
That’s a lovely shop window nannagarra very interesting with lots to look at
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Stilllearning Wed 30-Jun-21 07:46:36

Good morning from a cloudy S Lanarkshire. I had a lovely busy holiday with family and just caught up with Gransnet last evening. I was truly sorry to read of Grandmajets death, Like the rest of us, I have been thinking about her a lot. Thank you for passing on our condolences Brook
I think that Grandmafrenchs post expressed things perfectly.

I hope things settle for you soon Ashcombe, these episodes are horrible, especially if you’re on your own. I hope you feel better today and that things go well for everyone else.
