Good Morning Monday 23rd August 2021

Good morning from a sunny north of Sclotland.
I am potting up strawberry runners today and will share them on the village Facebook page.
ashcombe. Take care. You don’t want to be “?late for a very important date?“.
Take care out and about everyone and have the best day you can.

Good morning all. Still a bit of grey sky here in Glasgow but we have been promised sunny days this week with a high of 23 deg. Summer may not be over after all. ?

Hope you are on the mend soon Ash. You have both waited so long to be reunited. Fingers crossed you quickly get over the last hurdle for you to make your long awaited trip.

Being so fit will be in your brother’s favour for a good recovery Susan

I finished reading The Third Wife and having read a sample of The Missing Sister, I am intrigued to find out now if she is found. Trouble is, it won’t download to my kindle! No idea why it isn’t happening but I will give it another try today.

Welcome fatgran and Gymstagran.

Hope you are feeling a bit better today Marydoll and feel well enough to enjoy your planned trip.

Have a good day all and hopefully a better day for all with worries to cope with.

Good morning to everyone from north yorkshire. It is a changeable morning, quite grey and windy but every so often the sun shines through for a few minutes so hope it increases for the rest of the day. Woke up with migraine style headache and so have been creeping around with no radio or anything, but have improved a bit and so it will be a quiet day trying to clear up with the aid of the pick up grabber to be able to reach things on the floor as if I bend down not good. So anything improved will be a bonus. Should be going to a singing practise this evening but wont manage unless head improves. So will be satisfied if I can do a bit of tidying up and looking round to see what quiet jobs can be done. Hope everyone has a good day,

Susan56: so sorry to hear about your brother but his previous levels of fitness should help his recovery. So soon after the family bereavement too.

Just dropping in again to say I have a diagnosis and reassurance that I can still go to France later this week! I have labyrinthitis (I blame the Minotaur!), which is aggravated by loud noise, so no wonder I had to leave the performance early on Saturday night! My children (and DH) know I'm unwell if I pass up the chance to socialise in The Little Theatre bar!

With DH's bad back, we will be a good pair but being reunited will be wonderful after nearly 11months apart! ?

Reading through, I am moved by the warmth of messages from you lovely people. DH and I do appreciate the interest shown, especially when many of you are in worse positions.

? Thank you. ?

Bon voyage Ash ❤️
At last!

Labyrinthitis is not funAshcombe but good that you've got a diagnosis and , hopefully , treatment.
Madeleine45I suffered from migraines from the age of 18 but they have been totally cured in the last ten years after being prescribed a blood pressure medication. The disappearance of the headaches was a bonus as they were completely unrelated to the rise in blood pressure ! Apparently this particular drug can cure migraines but obviously only prescribed for high blood pressure so I got a great bonus !

Sorry a bit of a late Hello this morning, dull and a bit drizzly here in Oxfordshire so far.
Nothing much going on here today so pleased that some of you are out and about, I bet you are so excited Ash to see your DH. Wishing all those of you who aren’t feeling so chipper today hugs and good wishes.
I did have some good news from DD1, ‘mum I wasn’t arrested yesterday’ well that’s good to hear then.

Thank you Maw for the tip about changing printer ink - I have downloaded the printer manual, so if that doesn't work I shall look on Utube.

Good afternoon, everyone.

I'm very late joining in today as I've had quite a busy morning.
It's a beautiful day, pleasantly warm and sunny, so got some washing out on the line and another load is nearly ready, and did some garden jobs. Then my stomach told me it was lunchtime ?.

Thank you for all the congratulations yesterday - we had a nice day, pottering around, then a visit to a garden centre we haven't been to for some time to find that it's been smartened up with a nice new cafe area. We treated ourselves to a coffee and whilst drinking it there was a young woman singing. She had a lovely voice, so we lingered a bit longer just listening to her. Then we meandered around a bit more, buying bits for the garden (as you do ?), then we thought we'd better come home before we spent too much!

When we got home we opened a bottle of prosecco to celebrate our day and I made a nice meal for dinner, so it was a very relaxed enjoyable anniversary day.

Oh, that's such good news, Ashcombe - you must be getting very excited about seeing your DH very soon.

Welcome to the new posters.

Take care folks.

Nortsat and Greyduster, no plums last year but a glut this year, no rhyme nor reason. Good crop of damsons too, lots of jam this year, yum.

Sounds a lovely day ?leaf.

I love to read all the "good morning" mssgs and I'm usually up about same time but don't log on until about 9 ISH. It's funny isn't it that most of us I suspect spent upto 45 years working day in day out year in year out at jobs/careers and didn't think twice about what we were doing , we just did it , and that's what was done. Nowadays there seems to be almost a reluctance of the working gen. To actually stick at it no matter what. I know jobs are different now and certainly not for life anymore for the majority but all the Young's uns go on about is retiring early and how jealous they are of pensioners who they think for some reason have asset stripped everything and are living a life of luxury on massive pensions!!! We earned what we have , some not getting what they put in either, so I can't understand why we are all so maligned? Is it simply jealously or something deeper? Fear maybe that they will not be able to retire at all the way today's politicians are ruining everything? Worrying.
