Good Morning to all from Severnside. It’s a dry start.
Lovely to see you Mattie ?

I had a lovely few hours with my friends. They looked well and happy and we had some laughs.

No shopping for me today as I did a small shop yesterday instead. I’m going to take it easy and potter this morning and then go to see Beechnutella late afternoon.

Take care all ?

Good morning Mick amd all. It’s grey and misty here on the coast of Suffolk so even though the sea is outside my window I still can’t see it.
Going home tomorrow, it’s been a lovely few days. Nothing else planned. What a strange couple of years this has been.
Greetings, peace and love to all

Morning Mick and all

The sun is slowly waking up here in S E Essex.

Thinking of you and your family grandMattie beautiful photos Ashcombe

I think you have made the right decision Sar53 the bridge on the M25 has been a nightmare this week, hope your DH is feeling better today. Scentia you must have been so very worried, I hope your GD makes a speedy recovery and that you all enjoy your holiday.

We have The Imp and he is snotty and grotty hopefully he will have a couple of long sleeps during the day. We are off to our local Indian restaurant this evening which I am looking forward to.

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Good morning Mick and all his followers. Lots of low cloud here in Suffolk and cool with it. I have just woken after sleeping through all night! I can’t remember the last time that happened and I feel so much better for it!
The cat is home after his long stay in the cattery and is already back into his normal pattern. Pester DH all day, snuggle on me while we are in bed.
I am off to the bright lights of Bury St Edmunds today for two new tyres and a visit to Seasalt. Then it’s the housework and the garden.
I hope the day is kind to everyone.

Morning Mick, morning All. A bright start to our corner if Somerset.

Lunch in a small, independent garden centre yesterday was followed by an hour sitting in the sun by the sea. Much more than planned. Too much? Certainly but oh so enjoyable. A lot of ice and elevation followed. The Butler turned chauffeur was delighted not to have to cook. A quiet day pottering today.

So many folk with difficulties to tackle. Thinking of you and a hope that Friday is gentle with us all.

Good morning from a rainy south Cornwall. Lovely photos Ash. There's an influx of new university students here and it's cheery to see them exploring, with their obvious enjoyment of the area and also, because some are doing art degrees, their quirky clothes. The vast Uni library is open to the public so I will be heading over there. My son is staying with me over the weekend while his flat is let on Air B&B so that will be fun. My friend had a visitor while we were in her car, pic attached. The best of days to you all.

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it may be sunny today☀️
Well what a traumatic day yesterday, I arrived at DD for Nanna duties and thought DGD didn’t look well at all, she has never got rid of her cough snd cold since having Covid 5 weeks ago. DD said I could css as ll the doctors if I thought she needed it snd went off to work. Jump forward 2 hours we are in Resus at the A &E with DGD struggling to breathe. DD was on her way so I had poorly baby and toddler in A & E when I am a hopeless mess in these situations! DGS has never behaved so well for me, I swear Evan at 2 he knew Nanna was a mess. Turned out she has bronchiolitis and needed a feeding tube to re hydrate her. They are home now and she fed well in the night, she will get better as she has mummy’s breast for the next 7 days and will feed better than with a bottle. What a day❤️
Off on holiday tomorrow snd DD is staying over at ours tonight as the men are going down today to “turn all the stuff in in the van”. Also known as spend all night in the pub?
Take care everyone and stay safe.
Grandmattie ?

Good morning from Essex by the sea. Its bright and the sun is rising.
Food shopping this morning and a visit to the boat to see the progress DH has made.
He came back early yesterday feeling very unwell and slept for most of the afternoon.
I've made the decision to go to DD1'S by train next Tuesday. A lot of the car journey is on the M25 and the eco protesters have said they will hold up the traffic again. We can't be sitting in traffic for hours on end so best I make the decision now and buy my ticket in advance.
Anyway enough of my problems.
Kind thoughts to GM and anyone else having a tough time.
Enjoy Friday and hopefully the sun will shine wherever you are xxx

Thank you Ash.
Lovely sedums. I love seeing butterflies on them…

Good to see you, grandMattie and your courage when facing adversity is inspiring. Every blessing to you and your family. ?✝️?

Good morning, all, from a clear, bright Sarthe.

Yesterday, DH visited the pharmacy and we shopped for food but he was very tired before I loaded the car. He is frustrated by his lack of energy but pain does sap energy levels so the afternoon nap routine continues to be necessary.

The photos were taken around the garden. The cats are both 16 so also tend to sleep for most of the day!

Wishing you all peace and relief from pain of any kind. ???

grandMattie Fri 17-Sept-21 06:23:37

Good morning. Another grey day.
Lots on, including DD leaving this morning after a couple of unexpected nights here. It was lovely to see her, unencumbered by family, as much as we love them all.
Lots of stuff to deal with.
Love and support to all who need it, love and blessings to all with celebrations. ❤️
Keep the upper lip well starched, make the most of small pleasures and count your blessings. ????????☀️❤️
