Good Morning Saturday 9th October 2021

Good morning from sunny Leicestershire.

Not much on today - may go looking at.cars. Did you find one kitty?

I was appalled at the way Harrigran and her DH are being treated. I do hope more help is forthcoming. It is a blessing your family are around. Sending you hugs.

Good morning all.
I just had to post to send sympathy and empathy to Harrigran , what a dreadful time you are having.
I have been there so I know just how you feel.
The lack of support you are getting is truly awful.
What happened to the caring profession?
I hope your family step up to the plate for you today.

Good morning everyone
Well that’s been a painful sleep having had a couple of paracetamols and an anti sickness tablet i managed to nod off for a few minutes I’m almost glad it’ll soon be time to get up. Himself is already on the move emptying the dishwasher. I can see the daylight from beyond the curtains and once I’m up and about my back will get relief I was told by the doctor my sore back is probably due to posture and no wonder - I’ve had a round back for years just like my mother and my sister it runs in the family. Hey ho it’s what it is.

Have a good day everyone virtual hugs all around.

Good morning Mick, morning all from grey and drizzly South Lanarkshire.

Pleased to hear you had a decent sleep gMattie. Take things easy now.

This morning I have to pack for our week away. DD has rented a house in Berwick on Tweed and asked us to join them. It’s only a couple of hours away and we can’t get in till 5pm, I do wonder how much cleaning was done in holiday lets pre covid since they seem to need so much more time now.

I cooked and baked up a storm yesterday so we won’t go hungry for a few days anyway.

Wishing everyone a peaceful day.

Good Morning all from a dry and bright Severnside.

I had another nice FaceTime chat with my friend yesterday even though she did have some sad news to pass on. She showed me her new furniture.

I have an issue with one of my energy suppliers about my billing. Not sure how to go about it yet as reviews on them answering phones aren’t good. I expect it’ll sort itself out. The way of doing things have changed during COVID times, some for the good and others not so I find.

Your cats are beautiful BlueSapphire.

I have an appointment for my flu jab later so I wish you all a pleasant day and to take care ?

Oh harrigran what an awful time you are having. How ridiculous to suggest a video call for such a sick man. I am glad the fall didn't result in any broken bones. I send you my wishes for a better day and. Some support.

Lovely cats Bluesapphire

Good morning everyone from a lovely village in Herts where the day looks promising weather wise.
Am hoping for a quiet day as it's been a busy week. Yesterday I took a train journey, having finally bought a senior rail card, to visit new baby grandson and parents. It was a lovely day and a joy to see how well they are coping. DS2 works from home some days so that helps.
I'm in the middle of watching" Maid" series on Netflix and really enjoying it, will watch a bit more today. Someone on here mentioned it so thank you for that. Next I will check out " The Starling" as my DIL recommended it.
Wishing you all a pleasant weekend.

Lovely to see you Mary.x

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Lovely to see you Mary.x

Thank you! ?

Good morning all from a brightish North Leicestershire.

Still on the search for a new mattress- it's a blinking minefield. Also choosing paint colours- yet another minefield.

Good morning all,

A grey start to the morning but it’s not cold.

Off to look at cars later, as mine is starting to let me down. Not bought one for years, so that should be interesting!

So nice to see you posting again, Marydoll - welcome back.

Sending kind thoughts to grandMattie and * Harrigran*.

Hope you all have a good Saturday.

Lovely to see you posting again Marydoll

Morning all, especially Marydoll, welcome back!

Busy day yesterday helping to collect youngest DGC from school, long journey out here, the traffic was horrendous. They were staying with DD overnight and are all off this morning to visit Legoland and various friends, for our schools’ October break. DSiL had to decamp to mine last night, he leaves for work at 5 am and didn’t want to waken the small guests.

Quiet day today I think, so I’ll try to get started with my book club selection, why do I find it hard to settle to reading now, I used to long for the opportunity.

Good wishes to everyone for a peaceful weekend and supported for those who need it most. ?harrigran

Good morning all. It’s dry and bright here in East Yorkshire .
Up early today for us as this morning I am taking dgs to the theatre. We are seeing The tiger who came to tea. First time back in a theatre since Feb 2020 - also a little apprehensive but so looking forward to it. So am taking him for a drink and snack before as it starts at 11.30. We shall also be going into the city centre by train - another treat for him!
No plans for later. Dh will pick us up after so perhaps a late lunch out. Then Strictly tonight. It’s movie(grrr film) night I already have one of the songs as an ear worm. The one from Muana “You’re welcome “.
Good to see you back Marydoll
Maw sounds like it went well yesterday.

notagran what a wonderful day you had. I’m keen to visit the exhibition at KP.

Take care all.

Good morning all from an overcast South Wales. It has been a slightly stressful couple of weeks as have been back to face to face teaching after 18 months online. Off for a beach walk with a rather obstinate giant breed dog (when she sits she's not budging) & then off out for lunch with DS2. Have as good a day as you can.

Morning Mick and all

Mist is clearing and feeling warm (for October) here in S E Essex.

Oh sorry to hear your concert has been cancelled Sar53 I know how much you and your girls were looking forward to it.

Marydoll lovely to see you posting, sad that you once again are suffering with health issues ?

Harrigran I have no words regarding your DH treatment from the health professionals ?

grandMattie ???

We are having a lazy day, then off out to a friends belated 70th birthday bash.

Keep safe and well folks ??‍♀️

Oh harrigran, sending you a virtual {{hug}}.

Hullorerr Marydoll, great to see you.

Good morning all and the sun has broken through the mist here in Essex.

Sar - sorry to hear about the cancelled concert. I did read that Phil Collins was unable to perform. One day… hopefully. ?

Harrigran - take care of yourself. So sorry to hear you are going through such a tough time. ?

Today I will prepare for tomorrow’s visitors . They are arriving early, so I will get everything ready today.

grandMattie - sometimes ‘humdrum’ can be good. Take care ❤️

Wishing you all a ‘good’ day.
?????

A very warm welcome back to you Marydoll from NE Hampshire. I hope you feel able to continue posting, even if not every day.

Harrigran what you and your DH are having to cope with is just awful. I hope at least just one medical person realises that you need a champion to fight your corner.

Goodness me, after a very long time my granddaughter is coming to see a film with me. She must really like James Bond!

Be kind to yourselves everyone ?

Beautiful autumn morning here with another unexciting (I hope) day in prospect. Still awaiting a delivery for DH which has dominated the past week with first delivery late and containing the wrong thing, second delivery should have been yesterday ……. All very annoying and I must do a supermarket run at some point today. Minor irritations compared with the outrageous treatment of harrigran and her DH.

So good to see the much missed Marydoll posting again and hope to see more of her though sorry life has been so difficult of late. Glad that grandMattie had a good day with her family after a very hard week. Hope we all have a reasonable day today.

A later good morning everyone from me in south Manchester. Another here who had paracetamol in the middle of the night. I pulled the muscle in my side yesterday doing housework. Stretching to polish a huge mirror! We had so must dust in the apartment as we’ve been away all summer. I’m not a fan of housework at the best of times.
#lazygran
It should come with a health warning. I intend to return to type - see here.

Himself is making a huge pan of chilli which will do us nicely for tomorrow when my stepfather joins us. Plus we will take a large dish round to the family for tomorrow - saves them cooking this weekend. We are babysitting from 4pm as daughter and son in law want to have early drinks and a curry in the town centre.

Gosh such posh days out Ladyleftfield and NotAGran! ?
Nice to have ‘cultured’ posters on here. You can join Maw another lady with refined tastes.
?

Your cats are real beauties BlueSapphire I bet they take some brushing to keep them so gorgeous!

You’re back Marydoll! Your fan club awaits those novellas dear lady in anticipation.

Enjoy Saturday all who can. It’s mild here, no sun and I think ‘damp’ best describes it! Ooh I’ve not had my breakfast yet and can smell chilli con carne ...

Good Morning from the Scottish Borders. A bit cooler today but not raining. I have my double jags later today.
Hello to Marydoll
Lovely photos Ash

I took DMiL out to lunch yesterday. I had tried to book a table overlooking the river Tweed but alas 2 noisy men were in that and they never even looked out the window.
Next time DMiL can choose where we go. The ambience and service is more important than the food for us. She eats like a bird and I was nursing a tooth extraction. Still, it was an adventure.

I am glad your day was gentle grandMattie and I send Harrigran my best wishes for a sensible doctor.

A friend has a fun bunch of Lego flowers on her table which made me chuckle someone was looking for nice artificial flowers

A return visit to say seeing our own Marydoll back on GN has made my day. ?

Thank you Ashcombe and NannyJ I have arthritis in my thumb and shoulder, I mustn’t moan as many on here have worse aches and pains. My poor friend can hardly walk.

BlueSapphire can I have a portion of your roast chicken dinner, plus gravy please ? ?

Crossed posts Mary so pleased to see you back!
