Good Morning Monday 13th September 2021

Morning Mick, morning All from a cloudy corner of Somerset where I’m lazing in bed.

Home yesterday without incident, instructions to walk no further than the garden for two weeks and no, I can’t have a celebratory glass of wine - what???? BP was lower than they wanted on discharge, advised to go slowly, so much better than high BP. for sure. Lower still this morning. I’m sure it will pick up once I’m off for my much anticipated shower. Our son drove Mr C to the hospital to retrieve our car then came back with us in case I needed help, of course I didn’t, no faith in his parent! All in all I’m pretty good and pleased to be home. The Butler is doing a sterling job and will be much better appreciated once he stops fussing .

You and your family haven’t been out of my thoughts Mattie, your love for each other will support your way through. Hope your husband is more comfortable harri, so much worry and distress for some of you. Pleased the news about your husband is more positive ash. Safe travels jax, enjoy your change of scene.

Hope a Monday is gentle with us all, take care everyone.

Welcome Cenedra.

Good morning all, my first time on gransnet, seems a great site….?

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Nope not Crocosmia , these flowers will be white with a dark centre , but thanks baubles
I’ll put up a photo if they ever appear ?

Good Morning all. It is rather overcast here , just outside Southampton.
I think we will visit a NT property today which is about half an hour away. After that we will see what we fancy depending on the weather.
Hope everyone can find a smile on their day.

Good morning all from a dull Black country.
Haven't read through yet late rising this morning, will come back after breakfast.
Might let the vacuum out on day release later.
Enjoy your day everyone and may you all find some ?.

Crocosmia perhaps aggie?

I have nerines already Nannytopsy but thanks for the suggestion , the leaves on these are very long , I think they are related to Gladioli , but the flowers ( if they ever appear) are smaller
Thanks again xxx

Nerines Aggie?

Good morning all, grey skies at the moment , but I see blue patches , so live in hope ! It’s cold out, I usually fling the doors and windows open when I get to the kitchen , but it looks like caution will be needed now
I put some autumn flowering bulbs in various spot , including a pot ful at my patio door , loads of green sword like leaves so far but not a sign of a flower , and for the life of mme I can’t remember the name! What do you mean ….. labels! Nope gone missing tooo sigh !

I like Sherry too!

Good morning from what looks like a very bright day beyond these heavy curtains from the east coast of Fife, ouch now the curtains are drawn back I’m being blinded the suns blazing and it feels warm, but I’m not complaining

What a weekend I’ve had with family staying over and an old friend popping in for several hours for a catch up.

Gosh those 2 heavy breakfasts played havoc on my gallbladder must take care in future to either desist or resist eating so much.

Today we’re off to the nearest village to look for a power pack for the wheelchair, then himself will be able to propel me over all terrains. We might need a learners notice pinned to my back

Have a good day all ye who would venture out and about. Don’t be too afraid, life is improving as long as you DAE AS YER TELT.

Good morning all from an overcast S Hants. Daisytwoshoes we’re heading your way later today, sunshine please! Better news on OD ? Ashcombe.
Yesterday we faffed, bit of washing, watered the garden and our friend’s, as they’re away and played hunt my spare glasses, neither of us won. Off to Weston super Mare for a few days later.
grandMattie I’ll never forget your wise words, thank you.
Have the best day you can all ????.

Good Morning. A cold start here in the Scottish Borders. I waved DB onto a bus this morning for his long journey home to Denmark. We have had a wonderful week together.

I am glad you are able to comfort eachother grandMattie but such sorrow, I can't imagine.

I hope the week brings more joys than sorrows for all .

Another good morning from S Lanarkshire, cloudy and still. A lovely afternoon yesterday with DD1, DSiL and DGD, including an after lunch walk in lovely countryside. Nice to see DGD’s prize certificate, it was for commitment to study. Her school gives prizes for character development, service etc which I think is a very good approach.

Off this afternoon to after school duties with two youngest grandchildren and then home. I will probably have to start staying over before too long as I don’t like driving in the dark now.

Wishing everyone a good day ???

Good morning from an overcast Colchester. Forecast to be dry but cooler.
Laundry and shopping today. It's like painting the Forth bridge!
DH is organising the "stuff" to go in his new shed, so hopefully we'll keep out of each others way.

Love to all x

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a dreary damp South Yorkshire. Yesterday we watched GS play football with his team. It was a good game but sadly they lost. DH has yet another dental appointment today to find out why two lots of antibiotics has not got to the bottom of the pain in his tooth and his face. It is improved but it just won’t go away. It’s his birthday tomorrow so I shall make him a cake today. Other than that, not a lot going on here.
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning Mick and all his followers. Light clouds in Suffolk so it may clear later.
We were out for lunch on both days over the weekend so it’s back to normal today. Up early to take one car to the garage - the bonnet release cable has gone so that needs sorting out.
We did a quick hour’s tidying in the garden yesterday, to make the most of the green bin and I hope to do some more today with the empty bin.
Only two more days of dog sitting, then she goes home and the cat can return from the cattery. Poor chap has spent quite a while there this year but he’s safely away from this lurcher’s teeth!
As I type, the sun is breaking through! I hope the day is kind to everyone.

GrandmaJeanyou’re not alone - we love a glass of Sherry too!

Some photos of scarecrows at the weekend's village festival. The theme was fantasy and fairy tales.

Lovely post GrandMattie It is wonderful and so right that you and your family are able to laugh, cry and no doubt talk about Philip.
Dull here in Cheshire but it was forecast.
Trip to Waitrose for top up essentials - chocolate and sherry ! I think I'm the only person in the country who likes a glass of sherry.

Good morning from an overcast Leicestershire. Hope we get a little rain as the garden needs it.

Nothing planned today except our usual trot round the block.
Then will start my book club book Towards the Within.

Hoping everyone has a good day and thinking of those with pain and suffering.

Good morning all and it’s a bit of this and that in the sky here in Essex. ⛅️.

Yesterday DS1 invited us round for an afternoon cuppa. We only stayed an hour as it was a busy household. DIL ironing uniforms, DS preparing their roast dinner, dgd2 doing maths homework and gd3 snoozing on the sofa after a sleepover at her friends . A globe in the garden party. ?.

Today I have my Chiming group with the U3A. We make music with these strange looking instruments, have a lot of fun and a coffee and cake to follow, . Then I’m off to my hairdressers for a restyle. ?. I’ve decided not to have my hair coloured anymore and my natural is now creamy/white,. It took a bit of getting used to as I’ve always been a red head.

grandMattie - lovely to hear from you. Keep ‘plugging on’
Can’t imagine how you’re coping ?

Wishing you all a gentle day. ????

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s a light blue sky with some sunshine forecast for later
I’m off to the gym this morning for the Aqua class, then I’ll be doing a bit of shopping in the nearby retail park. We’ve workmen in the garden this week so I’ll be leaving DH in charge of that and staying out of the way I think
Lovely to see you on here grandMattie sending ? and ???
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings ?
