Good Morning Wednesday

Good morning Michael and all GNs from a grey damp South Yorkshire. We are not getting any further forward with the paint for the hall stair and landing which now looks like a patchwork quilt of different shades of grey. I’m sick of it and wish we hadn’t started. Cleaning the kitchen this morning and then we may go out for a walk if it’s not too wet. Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning all from Polmont. We have grey skies again. Scentia and grannygravy my condolences to both your families.
Yesterday was an outdoor day and every small thing is such a joy and wonder to dgs. I try to emulate his love of living in the moment. I don't have his love of "massive diggers" though. He has taken to shouting "Hello Monkey" to everyone he meets which is a tad embarrassing. It's what he is called so presumably he thinks it's a sign of affection to the world.
Today I will visit mum and then a WhatsApp chat with friends this afternoon. The garden man hasn't appeared since last Wednesday so goodness knows if he will. I'll wait til the end of the week before I contact him. Have a good day all.

Good morning. Have read this morning's posts quickly and have my usual problem of wanting to say some words of comfort to all worried and /or under the weather but concerned I get names wrong ! Is there a tip as to how to to avoid this ?
Wiĺl send good wishes to all anyway.
As marydoll says, some names stand out but doesn't mean any others are less important.
Not much happening here except an expected visit from plumber to sort out a dripping tap ! Exciting !

Good morning from a rainy south Cornwall. To a friend's house for coffee this morning, then to Wilko lockers to collect an Amazon purchase. An excellent arrangement, easier than trying to describe where to leave parcels at my town centre flat, which has no doorbell nor obvious entrance. Thinking of Imogen Jaxjacky. And condolences Scentia and GrannyGravy. Have the best day you can, everyone.

PS Marydoll, thank you re my recovery; the instructions after hospital are to walk for 20 minutes three times a day, so that's probably what's helped.

Condolences to Granygravy too.

Good morning Mick and all his followers. Cloudy but dry here in Suffolk. I set the alarm this morning as I need to ring the dentist. I lost a very large crown last night off my back teeth. Lots of nasty sharp edges! Luckily I didn’t swallow it.
Condolences to Scentia and GG. My mum’s care home didn’t try to contact me until after she died and I have not forgiven them.
Footy here too. DSiL is on police duty at Wembley tonight and expects it to be a very lively shift into the small hours! At least he can watch the match for free ?
? for all with worries and ? for those on trips and holidays.

? not ?!

Good morning all.
My condolences to scentia and grannygravy.

Overcast here in Brixham . Coffee planned with our friends on the breakwater and we will then decide on the rest of the day.
Yesterday turned out to be quite sunny and we enjoyed a visit toStoke Gabriel for lunch and a walk.
Hope everyone finds a smile today.

Good morning from a cloudy but dry Black Country.

Sincere condolences to Scentia & GG

Trip to Dentist yesterday was a sharp pain the the purse! A very small filling. No numbing or drilling, and I had to pay £65 for Band 2. I was in the chair less than 5 minutes, not even a clean or polish!

I had a surprise yesterday. Someone sent me a message via FB. She had just joined, and saw on our old school page a photo of myself with her from 1969! She moved that year and I have never seen her since. The power of social media being able to re-connect! She lives in Leics so not a million miles away.

We are in the process of re-vamping the Living room. New sofa and armchair (ordered), carpet, curtains and decorating! MrJ wanted wallpaper on the feature wall, I said just paint, much easier and fresher. He disagreed, until he was talking to his girls and showing a sample of the wallpaper he wanted. They said exactly the same as me....and guess what!

Marydoll just carry on being you. We all love your novella's and the way you always sound so upbeat despite everything. I am in awe of you

Thinking of Imogen Jaxjacky my love is with you all.

Good morning from a damp S Welsh coast, dry now but overnight rain.
Condolences to Scentia and GrannyGravy ??
We are going to London today for a short break, however I'm still in bed so need to stir my stumps.
Hope everyone will have a good day.

Good morning from Shropshire.The sun is trying its best to shine but rain forecast later.

My condolences to Scentia, GrannyGravy and families??

Hopefully another quiet day today.DH feeling better today thank goodness.

Have a lovely time in London Lins.

Hope Imogen is feeling better Jax now she is home.Thinking of you all.

Grammaretto is on holiday Mary.

Have a good day all??

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Morning Mick, morning All from a brightening corner of Somerset.

Overnight rain and wind have trashed our climbing rose, the gardeners are here grass cutting so good and bad in the garden department. X-ray for me this morning, lunch and a wander round Waitrose will deal with most of the day.

My condolences to Scentia and Grannygravy, please care for yourselves. You too marydoll, chronic pain depletes resilience, you’re fine just as you are.

Take care everyone. Hope Wednesday is gentle with us all.

Good morning from another dull, damp day in Essex by the sea.
My condolences to Scentia and GG, and I'm sorry to hear of Imogen's diagnosis. I wish her well.
Not a lot on the cards today apart from a dental visit this afternoon. It's been 10 weeks since I had my deep clean and this is an appointment to see the results.
Looking forward to the football this evening.
Have the best Wednesday you can everyone xxx

Good morning from North Yorkshire. It’s bright this morning.
Condolences to Scientia and GG and their families.
Jax I hope Imogen continues to make progress.
I have a friend calling this morning then lunch out before a business meeting for my charity. It’s good to be busy again.
Have a good day everyone. Stay safe.

Good morning everyone from a dribbly start to the day here on the east coast of Fife sorry about my previous post it wouldn’t let me preview it before I sent but it should have read hope the rota stays good not rotavirus duh ?
Sorry too * GG* for your recent loss thinking of you and love to all who feel so sad
That’s me off to the dentist this morning I’m not worried about dentist appointments. I’m hoping it’s just a wee examination my photo posted in the first post was 4Gnt meeting up for a lunch for the first time pre stroke and pre Covid it’s funny to think we’re scattered all over the world now and still keep in touch.

Good morning, Mick and everyone from Carlisle where it was a brilliant blue sky when I got up but is now fast clouding over.
I too will be watching the Tour today-with especial interest since they are climbing Mt. Ventoux. The weather can certainly be extreme up there, I've been up there twice--not cycling though! Both times in a September, the first time it was boiling hot and the sun was glaring fiercely off the white granite summit. We stopped at the Tommy Simpson Memorial and I thought how unsurprising it was that someone should die exerting themselves in such conditions. The second time we went, totally the opposite--strong winds, heavy rain and freezing cold. I hope it's not too bad up there today for them.
I'm having my new tv delivered today, nicely in time for the rest of the Tour and Wimbledon. Apart from that, a little light housework and maybe some gardening.
My condolences to you, Scentia and to you, GrannyGravy , a sad time for you both and your families.
The best day possible to all.

Good morning all from a warm but rain cloudy Lancashire. Mr. B is taking me out for the day, so I shall catch up on your posts later ?

Good morning Mick, Annie and all. At least it's not raining here today, yet! Yesterday was a real wash out, in between a few brief sunny spells. I was told the OT would visit yesterday, so we stayed in all day, not a problem, but she didn't even phone to say she wouldn't be able to make it.
Today I am off for a hair cut mid morning, and this afternoon, we have grab rails being fitted front and back. Arrival time again is estimated.
Marydoll, nice to hear you upbeat this morning. ?
Condolences to Scentia and GrannyGravy, sad times for you both.
I shall have to stop skip reading the posts, as I read that Espee was off to Bahamas!
Your stay in the New Forest sounds just what I could do with at the moment Grannygravy13, but with all the appointments recently I do wonder whether we could ever fit anything in.
Continuing beat wishes to Jaxjackys gd.
Forgive me if I miss anyone out.
Have a good day one and all.

Good Morning all from Hot and Blue etc.,

So sorry to hear of your losses, GG and Scentia. And you're right to feel like that about your late Mum's carers, NannyT. Unforgiveable.

Do you have a history of BP problems in your family, Ash because if that's the case - and a big percentage of raised blood pressure is down to genetics - it can be a real battle to get the figures down. Hope you're not stressed about anything. Wishing you well.

Grey if the colour is to complement anything already there, like carpets or curtains, then choose the best colour for that. If not, the sky's the limit - that's probably the problem since there are endless different greys and it can be a nightmare!

Grandmajean how nice are you! I don't think any of us have a particular talent for memorising the posts. For myself, I keep a pen and paper handy otherwise I always forget someone I wanted to comment upon.

Love smoked haddock, Blue, but so difficult to find the un-dyed stuff here in France. Once after a successful purchase in a fish market, I asked the 'woman in wellies' what the name was in French. She'd walked away from the ticket, having weighed our fish. She walked back, looked at the back of the ticket and shouted to us " 'Addock, Madame". We did laugh.

Yesterday's Rheumatologist visit was a huge success - but exhausting. The town was filled with cars and tourists, behaving as if they were all on drugs for the very vague! It was a stifling 32 degrees without any breeze. Specialist was so nice and having been asked if he'd be able to do anything for my dodgy ankle said 'of course'. That's all I wanted to hear. For the Arthritis I have temporary pain relief, whilst I use his prescription to book a blood test, a Scanner appointment for dye injection etc., and then go back to see him with the results and his recommendation for a particular infusion necessary to calm the inflammation and give me 'months of relief' (His words!) Hurrah!!!!!

We went for a well-earned cuppa afterwards in a pavement café, where everyone was having such a good time, two waiters were dancing! They'd obviously picked up my mood!

So pleased Mr Harri can have his Chemo today. Have a good day, one and all if you can. My plan involves (before another trip out to tangle with the bureaucrats tomorrow), an early lunch, a swim, a read and a siesta.

Take care everyone, whatever you're up to. All good wishes sent from me and French France - and don't accept 2nd place tonight, please, ENGLAND !!!!!! ?

?????‍♀️???

Good morning from the Sefton coast. For the last two days mornings have been cool and cloudy, afternoons warm and sunny. I’m hoping the pattern continues today.
My condolences to Scentia and GG13. It’s comforting that your DH spent the last 10 minutes of his father’s life with him, Scentia. ?
I hope the ECG goes well Ashcombe and that your BP comes down.
Oooh, a wallaby, Esspee. How amazing. That’s caught my attention and interest. Do post a pic if you get one.
Thinking of Imogen, Jaxjacky. Sending a gentle hug to all of you.
Your evening meal sounds really yummy, BlueSapphire. Do you like kedgeree too?
Marydoll, keep being you and doing what you do. You have a big fan club here ably managed by Chewy as your secretary. ?
My ‘education’ about the Euros continues: the latest lesson concerns quality players in Denmark’s team. (Yawning on the back row here with surreptitious glances at clothing websites.) Food for tonight done; beer to sort (not my department). Flag now deemed a jinx so won’t be displayed. My, what a kerfuffle. Just hope next door’s tv’s ‘aligned’ with ours as we had advanced warning of excitement in a previous match. I’m being carried along by the excitement!
Thinking of those who are absent and those facing troubles. May everyone’s day include a smile and the sighting of a flamingo.
???

Thanks, Grandmafrench - Keeping a note is something I did think of and then wondered if I was being a dinosaur and there was an easier way. Think you are right - only way to remember

I realise I’ve used ‘excitement’ twice. To you, it’s evidence of my imperfections; if DH read it, I’d claim it was a typo. ???
Where’s the flipping edit button?

Good morning and condolences from a reasonably dry yet grey Oxfordshire. Two Merry Maids ladies arrived this morning to give our house a deep clean. OH is going to buy a new mobile phone sometime today and he also needs one of those tablet dispenser things from Boots. I have a WI committee meeting early evening in the Chairman's garden or on zoom if it is raining. After that I will be listening to a zoom talk on London’s unusual street names. At some point OH will be making dinner - it is his turn. Then football. I will hide away and listen to a talk on Venice for a V&A course I’m doing. Someone is supposed to be popping round to talk about my garden but I haven’t heard back yet.

Good Morning all from grey Harrogate. I have put a wash out, but suspect if left too long it could be a wash out!!
My condolences Scentia and Grannygravy what a bad week for you.
Jaxjacky poor Imogen going through so much, hope she improves soon.
I'll try and get a bit more of the pinafore done before my friend comes round this pm for a cuppa.
My trip to the optician yesterday proved expensive (probably why I've put it off for so long). Apparently I've been using their 'no fog' wipes wrong!! Will see how they work right!!
Marydoll as I have mentioned before, your DH and mine seem to have a lot in common, mine only has a selective hearing problem, though. He will quite happily chuck my stuff out, while he hoards all sorts of useless items. He insists scart connections will be useful?? Must be 10 years when we last used them.

Have a great day, folks.
