Good Morning Wednesday 6th October 2021

Good morning all from gloriously sunny N Bucks
Thinking especially of Grandmattie today and over the coming days.
48 years ago I gave birth to our first baby, a boy . Paw told me years after, how he had walked home to Richmond from the hospital, late at night, feeling as if he was walking on air.
That short little life - only 24 days- brought us tears of joy and sorrow in equal measure . Born with major heart defects (perfectly operable today) , if he had lived we probably would not have had our 3 lovely girls and (now) our 6 wonderful grandchildren but it still brings home to me the miracle and fragility of life . ?

Another sunny but nippy morning in Oxfordshire, not much to do today, start looking out clothes for weekend away maybe, at least it will be easy to pack , jumpers, trousers, warm clothes, wet weather stuff can stay in the car just in case.
Mr Oops is busy, shed turned cabin is getting the ceilings painted, all white walls and ceilings so he shouldn’t get confused as pittcity DH did. Plaster isn’t dry yet on the walls, though, he’s chosen the flooring, now just having a thought about electric sockets, there is electric and wifi down at the bottom of the garden so one less thing to do.
I was looking at teddy coats Urms after seeing Lady somebody or other wearing a burnt orange one on TV a while ago, it looked nice on her, good luck with yours.
You are in our thoughts granmattie today and in the future, hope harrigran had a good night.
Hugs to those who aren’t so chipper today.

Just read your post Maw so sad.

Harrigran - how beautiful for your DH to hear your DD playing all his favourites. Autumn leaves drifting by your window. ❤️???

Good morning from sunny south east London.

Taking dog out today while DD and SiL work.

Thinking of you and your family Mattie and sending you strength for the days ahead.

Good morning from a lovely bright S Lanarkshire. I believe it’s 3 degrees outside.

Exercise class and coffee afterwards today, I really enjoy our weekly catch ups. I never liked the long dark evenings and as I get older I like them even less. I wonder if it’s because I am less busy during the day? Maybe the solution is in my own hands!

Blood tests yesterday went very smoothly. It used to be a nightmare but a tip from a nurse about taking a good drink of water about an hour before has proved very successful and I no longer end up black and blue!

Then a really enjoyable lunch with three former colleagues. It’s interesting to see how varied our responses to our new world are.

Thoughts and prayers with you and your family today and especially tomorrow grandMattie and wishing everyone a good day ???

Good morning from a fairly bright N. Bucks.

Maw,

Good morning from Morecambe Bay where it’s finally stopped raining. A blue sky streaked with salmon pink greeted me this morning.
Hang on in there Mattie it been such a hard few weeks for you.
such a sad memory for you too Maw.
DH phoned the Dr yesterday. He’s got a real life appointment with a physio tomorrow. There is hope yet!
Take care and stay safe everyone ?

Good morning from a much brighter Black Country

Didn't wake up until 8.00am this morning (usually awake at 6.30). Had a disturbed night. I suffer from Tinnitus, which doesn't usually bother me, but in the night I heard singing! I thought the radio must be on, but realised if it was I wouldn't hear it. Most odd, I have never had that before!

Walking group with u3a today, then who knows what?

granMattie holding you in my thoughts today and the coming weeks. Maw

Good morning from Shropshire.The rain has finally stopped and sunshine forecast today.

A quiet day planned??

How lovely harri that your daughter could play for you both.

Glad your mind was put at rest by the physio corner and that your husband has an appointment Gelisa.

Maw,thinking of you today?

grandmattie, you will be in our prayers, hearts and thoughts today, tomorrow and in the days to come.I hope that you and your family find comfort in each other as you celebrate Philip’s life and see him on his final journey?

Maw and all the more poignant really because you alone are here to remember that time.
