Good Morning Friday 20th August 2021

Good Morning everyone.
Didn’t mean to cause concern : just trying to get my ducks in a row again after the week’s sadness.
Huge welcome back, dear Urms - we were a bit worried. Maybe you can give Pants a nudge?
Have a good weekend all, and special get well wishes to GM’s Son, and to Ash. Birthday wishes for a good old celebration with your family very soon, Oopsa x

Good morning Mick, Morningstars and urmston. ????

oopsadaisy Hope your GD gets over COVID quickly. My family too have all recovered with no after effects.

Very mixed news grandMattie. Iris ?. Hope your DS is well looked after and receives treatment soon.

We have the same worries in Cornwall about masks Marydoll. Newquay has one of the highest numbers of cases.

Grandmafrench has posted on scoops kitchen. Love her morning updates.

So you did an escape to the sun Urmston. Glad all’s well. We’ll plan a welcome home ‘do’ for you next Wednesday. ?

museMansion work has progressed rapidly over the past two days after such a terrible beginning of the week. Mya is not back to her normal bouncy self yet. ? Spent half the day asleep on the sofa inside yesterday . Two sedations in four days has taken away some of her energy. Hope she’s back to normal today. Still await news from DS about DGD’s x ray on her arm. Another text tonight I think.

?? Hope any worries disappear and have safe trips out and about if they are planned Morningstars.

Good morning from sunny Leicestershire.

So sorry to hear your news about your son GrandMattie. My DS had pancreatitis caused by gall stones and I know how painful it is. I hope he gets a bed soon.

Good to see you back Urmston and hope you feel better soon Ashcombe.

It is my friends funeral today but I cannot be there as I would need to quarantine in Holland. I shall shed a tear at home.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from a grey NE.
Had a lovely surprise bouquet yesterday, it was from my sister's SD, so thoughtful. They are off on holiday today to the Lakes, she has four boys who will be doing lots of outdoor activities.
My sister and BIL are staying nearby but in a cottage rather than a holiday park, apparently they are not allowed into the park so can't watch the GC.
DD is doing some shopping for me so she may visit today.
Take care, there is still a lot of infection around.

Good morning. Once again N. Bucks is looking dull and the air is chilly.
Yesterday started the same but by lunch time it was very pleasant and I enjoy a rather elongated lunch with a friend.
Probably a quiet day today. A bit of baking and some craft work. Dd2 will be here for dinner the evening and will walk Lord Jasper.
Such a mix of good and sad news from posters today. Thinking of you all and wishing everyone a smile in their day.

Where are you Grandmafrench ? You are missed.
GrandMattie I do hope you get better news of your son today. I have a fantastic son too and you never stop worrying even when they are grown up.
Take it easyAshcombe
Need to come back later to read more.

Good morning Mick, morning all from cloudy South Lanarkshire.

Yesterday after GD’s gymnastics class we had ice creams while sitting on deck chairs on the front, picture of the view.

Disappointing for you Oops, I hope your GD has a mild dose.

gM good news about Iris but you must be worried about your DS, I hope he is more comfortable very soon.

That sounds miserable Ash, sorry to hear you’re unwell.

Delighted for you Marydoll.
How nice to see you back Urms.
Norsat ouch!
Your to do list is making me dizzy Gelisjams
Safe trip home brook.

I’m back to my charity shop today after it has been closed for a fortnight, looking forward to it.

Wishing everyone a peaceful day.

Good to see Urms back!

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a cloudy South Yorkshire. No idea what the weather is going to be doing today, but we are not going very far. Yesterday we did a walk we haven’t done for a long while and I had forgotten how long and steep the inclines are, but the heather was out and it was all very pretty. There were wild bilberries too - haven’t tasted them for years. A tasty meal in a nearby pub rounded the trip off nicely.
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning all and it’s bright here on the Suffolk coast.

How lovely to hear from Urmstongran. I know it will brighten us all up after a few sad days here on GN. So glad you’re back ?.

We cleared out more cupboards yesterday.: Mainly children’s books, toys and puzzles. Eldest gd now 19 and youngest almost 6 , so they won’t be needed anymore. They’ve had a good long life here. I must do the same when we get back home. Very therapeutic having a clear out. It’s very difficult with dh as he is a hoarder. ?.

GranMattie - I do hope they make your DS comfortable soon and sort out his problem ?. Lovely news for Iris though ?

Ash get better soon. You have your journey to OD to France next week don’t you? Look after yourself and get fit for travelling. ?

Marydoll things are looking up with family and reconciliations are making progress. ❤️

0opsadaisy what a disappointment for you. Hopefully you can have a belated birthday celebration with family in a couple of weeks. ?.

Wishing you all as good a day as you can. ?

Grandmafrench did post a few words in soop's kitchen yesterday.

Good morning from the Black country, yet another dull day where's this heatwave they promised?
Nothing planned today over the club with friends this evening.
Will catch up later tablet needs charging.
Did notice Urmstongran posting nice to see you back.
Have the best Friday you can and may you all find some ?.

Good morning from a dull Black Country.

We had rain of almost monsoon proportions late yesterday afternoon. The street resembled a small stream. Luckily I had cut the lawn an hour before!

My DGD No. 2 is a teenager today! That was 13 years gone in a flash. We are having a family gathering for a BBQ this afternoon. Weather forecast is for no rain today !

Welcome back Urmston! I have been wondering if you were ok, glad you are back in your beloved Malaga .

Ooops and GM hope your family members recover quickly. Great news about Iris though! Ashcombe sorry you are feeling unwell.

Wishing you all a lovely day

Good to see you back Urmstongran you’ve been missed, sneaking off to Spain! Well done you. X

Yea!!! Urmston is back!!!!!

Put out the bunting!??? Get the sangria ready!?? That was a lovely announcement Urmstongran. You have been missed. ❤️

Good morning all from a cloudy S Hants. How disappointing Oops, let’s hope it’s a mild encounter for your GS.
My friend is in hospital with a similar diagnosis gM, wishing your son a quick recovery. Virus sounds very annoying Ash, hopefully it’ll push off soon.
I too have wondered about Grandmafrench an unusual absence.
This weekend’s family bbq was Sunday, then Saturday, now Sunday again, due to a wet front incoming from the west that’s speeded up. So butchers today am to pick up my order, Tesco delivery pm, in between bathroom clean and hoovering.
Have a pleasant day all. ??

Yeah !! Lovely to see you Urmstongran so pleased you’ll be back soon - you’ve definitely been missed !

Good morning everyone from Cambridge where it’s grey and cloudy. Yesterday turned out to be a lovely warm sunny day and I had a lovely day out with DGS at a young aviators day at Duxford.
It’s my last day here as I’m travelling back home to Inverness later today but coming back again soon
Such a shame Oops about your DGD, I hope she’s not too poorly and you get to see her soon
Good news about Iris GM but sorry to hear your DS2 is poorly. Hope he’s much better soon
So pleased you’re getting to see Dollie a bit more marydoll and hope she’s settled back at school well
Sounds like a good deal for your car gelisa I hope you manage to get everything done - it sounds like a busy day
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good morning from East Yorkshire. It’s been raining overnight but feels quite warm. We have dgs today so will see what he would like to do. DH also has a couple of work calls so have to plan around that. We were hoping to get another day at the coast in but not sure if it’s a wise decision.
* grandmattie * good news on Iris but a worry about your son I hope they can stabilise and find him a bed. My brother suffers with pancreatitis and flare ups as I say it’s a worry.
oopsadaisy sorry to hear your plans are cancelled. So disappointing for you.
nannagarra enjoy your day at liverpool cathedral. I’ve heard about the dove installation and would like to see it myself. We have special fondness for the cathedral as my father in law was a stonemason and worked on it.
Have a good day all and take care .

Hõla ~ buenos dias bonitas! I’m here in very sunny Malaga (since the end of June) and our daughter, son in law, the boy wonder (who is now 9y) and l’il miss all joined us a fortnight ago. They fly home next Tuesday morning. I of course have Ladies Who Wine that afternoon so Himself will be in his element getting us straight again. (Lucky me really ?).

So this is advance warning that I plan to be back from next Wednesday. I couldn’t miss Beechnut’s birthday on Thursday could I? In the interim I will try to catch up a bit. I haven’t signed into GN for months. I’ve really missed you all!

Right, time for my second cuppa on this tiny balcony. It’s hot already so I’m going to squish myself into my swimsuit that M&S promised ‘tummy control’ ~ boy, it has it’s work cut out.
?

See you soon mi amigas. ?

Good morning Mick and All.

The sun is peeking through the clouds in South Bucks.

Sorry to hear about your virus Ashcombe I hate feeling dizzy, let’s hope a restful day will improve things. I do hope your DS gets all the help he needs today grandMattie. Good news about Iris. How wonderful seeing your Dollie Mary. She sounds like a mini you with her sparky/fun personality.

I’m off to get the picnic food for our outdoor show tomorrow night, plus a bin bag to sit in as rain is due. ?

Good morning all. Polmont is misty and cool this morning at 10°. Autumn is a-coming.
Grandmattie good news about Iris but not so good about your son. I hope he gets a bed shortly. Oopsadaisy1 how disappointing for you. Fingers crossed that your dgd has a mild dose. Ashcombe take care. Lots of fluids.
Yesterday I found some energy and was busy, cleaning, ironing,washing, weeding and sorting paperwork. I've nearly finished my Halloween cross stitch too. I've had an influx of fruit flies so the Cider vinegar was out in little bowls. Hopefully that'll have sorted them.
Today I have an unexpected babysitting stint. Dd is going for a pregnancy massage. It's only an hour or so. Before that, I'll head to Aldi to get some food in. Then a quiet afternoon recovering. Have a good day all.

Good morning Mick and the GM team from east London, where the sky is bright.

I have a bruise on my temple, I was reaching for a salad bowl from a high shelf last night and I whacked myself in the face with the bowl.
I have a blister on my hand, as the previous day, I managed to burn myself lifting a tray out of the oven.
I am getting over the after effects of a stay in hospital and am somewhat wobbly on my legs. So feeling a bit doddery ...
Mattie hope your DS makes rapid progress to improvement.
Gelisajams looking forward to hearing more about your journey to an electric car.

Wishing everyone the best day possible

Good morning, everyone, from an increasingly bright Torbay.

I’ve slept later than usual as the virus I’ve been fighting since Monday seems to have that effect, along with dizziness, blocked ear and headache. Yesterday, I thought I was better and was ready for my final stint at Brixham Museum but had to abandon that plan, sadly. But it will pass and is not as serious as health issues being faced by others.

My heart goes out to you, grandMattie, and your concern for your DS2. Your joy at the pleasing news about Iris must be slightly diminished by your anxiety for your son. I do hope he is soon on a ward and the treatment will bring him to a full recovery.

How disappointing for you Oopsadaisy regarding your birthday, especially with a funeral to attend today but perhaps a delayed celebration could compensate when your GD is well, which I hope will be soon.

The car deal sounds excellent Gelisajams! But what a busy day you have planned. Phew! I’m also concerned by the absence of Grandmafrench and hope all is well with her. Heartwarming family news, Marydoll!

Wishing you as good a day as possible, whatever the circumstances. ??☀️
