Good Morning Monday 18th October 2021

Harri , I'm so sorry.?

I’m so sorry that you have had such a dreadful night harri.Thinking of you and wishing you strength for the days ahead and the difficult decisions you have to make.

harrigran so sorry it has come to this. It is never an easy decision but you both realise that you are no longer able to give him the increased care that he needs. Sending love and strength

harrigran I am so sorry, your DH needs increasing care and nursing if this is carried out in a nursing home it will enable you to resume being his dear wife, to sit with him and chat without worrying how you are going to cope in the coming days (((hugs)))

Good morning from the NE.
I had the night from hell. DH managed to get out of bed and get down the stairs, I rang for my BIL but we couldn't get him up, called an ambulance and they managed to get him into bed.
I have had every conceivable support teams visit and on the phone this morning. We are thinking of moving DH to a nursing home but to do so SS had to ask the permission of DH himself. As sick as he is he told the lady on the phone that it was too much for me and he agreed.
This is possibly the worst day of my life.

I’m so glad that you have seen the GP GrannySomerset the antibiotics will make all the difference and I’m sure that once the district nurse is involved you will get some help.

There is a system here similar to district nurses but from what I can understand it seems even more difficult to access than in England.

Apart from that good morning to you all. It’s bright and sunny with a few wispy clouds at the moment and at 23°C it is supposed to get warmer later. I’d better get the washing out before the physio arrives.

GP has visited, diagnosed a chest infection and prescribed antibiotics. Even better, he has put us on the district nurse list so some help may be forthcoming, though probably not today. It feels like progress.

Good morning all from a cold and rainy Lancashire. I’m testing out my new JL Anyday thermal layers today! I had a good night, foot is on the mend but I’m still having to be careful. I can now move my toes, though the big one hurts when moved, or touched. Mr. M is having to brave the rain to collect his prescription. Fortunately it isn’t far. Not a lot on the agenda for today. I will sort the laundry and make a start, no chance of line drying anytime soon.

Thinking of GrannySomerset, Harrisgran and all with troubles. Hope your day improves Marydoll.

Have the best day possible, and may we all find a little joy today ??

Lovely piece of work Gelisajams -take care.

Fab blanket Gelisajams?

Fab blanket Gelisajams?

Beautiful blanket Gelisa it looks like it’s taken a lot of work but well worth it
Hopefully you’ll come back to GN from time to time and let us know how you’re doing
Take care and I hope you have lots more happy adventures in the Camper! ?

Good morning

It’s a very grey, miserable day here, as greyduster reports. Not a sign of the sun yet.

You are clever, Gelisajams - your blanket looks lovely. I hope you decide to pop in every so often.

Hope you all have a decent day.

Morning Mick and All.

Thank you Marydoll had a lovely day with the boys. They all decided to play football at Polesden Lacey. My eldest DGS 10 asked me if I had any gloves for him to play in. Of course I took off my gloves and gave them to him. An hour later I got them back all hot and sweaty ?

Good morning Mick ad all from a dull Lancashire coast.
Out to lunch today with old friend but would really prefer to stay home as have taken on a lot one way and another recently. Going to plonk the same outfit (suitable) I had on yesterday and the day before but I have had a shower! I’m picking him up and rather ashamed of the inside of my car, needs a clean, but blow it.
Out to an indifferent lunch yesterday with another close friend. The napkins consist of a kitchen roll on a small wooden stand in each table? My friend’s gammon was tough but my roast beef was ok. I spotted the plumber who fitted my new boiler and new bathroom but no hellos. I wasn’t happy with his work and won’t use him again.
Thinking of all with troubles.

Good morning Mick and all his followers. Still in bed with coffee after a very broken night. It’s grey and still here in Suffolk. I had hoped to start tidying the front garden today but I have earache and a sore throat. Older GS tested positive for Covid yesterday and on Thursday I was at a meeting with someone who coughed constantly.
I am hoping against hope that I haven’t caught anything as we have a hotel booked for a couple of days away with friends from Thursday.
I received an email last night for a reference for an ex colleague, to be returned by today. Not a very efficient interview process. Shirty email? Or just rise above it?
I hope the day is kind to everyone.

Good morning from a wet Morecambe Bay. We’ve been away for a few days in the camper with no internet. I’ve decided I will take a longer break from GN as it forced me to break my addiction. I will continue to think of all with problems and may catch up occasionally.
Before I go, I finished my crocheted blanket which I’ve been doing forever so I have attached a picture.
Take care everyone and stay safe ?

Good Morning Mick and everyone from grey damp Carlisle.
It's the sixth day of road making outside and probably the last. They all rolled up at 8am but the neighbours are mostly off to work by then. For me it's a housework and admin day plus a phone appointment with the Doc this afternoon concerning further action, if any, re my daily headaches. They aren't daily any longer having gone back to being intermittent. I'm now wondering if they weren't greatly exacerbated by my new furniture much of which was giving off a gluey sort of smell. I eventually had a campaign of leaving all the doors and drawers open all day for days along with the windows. Now the smell has largely gone.
I managed to find a dry weather window yesterday afternoon and planted a shrub and bulbs, the crocuses already sprouting, and removed a little more turf.
Wishing you all a positive day with improvements for the sleep deprived and poorly.

Good Morning Everyone, it’s raining here but not cold , we are doing a grocery shop today . DD takes me and did suggest leaving it till next week ?
I walked up to the Chapel yesterday afternoon to light a few candles while DD tidy the flowers on Jim’s grave .
One of my friends was inside and we had a natter after our prayers , he showed me a pic of his knee brace , must say I was glad he didn’t offer a view of the real thing !
Later we trotted up the lane to sort out a neighbours new broadband , she was on the phone from abroad giving us directions ! Not an ideal scenario ,. I concluded it wasn’t switched on so we packed everything away and left
I did sleep in this Morning!

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a uniformally grey South Yorkshire, but it’s dry at the moment. We have another day of isolating before DH’s procedure tomorrow. We so missed seeing the family this weekend, and I felt rather low but phone calls and face time helped. A gentle day today.
Corner fingers crossed for the GD on her DofE walk.
Gwen lovely to see your photos - Filey Brigg has always been one of our favourite places for rockpooling (with or without the youngsters in attendance!) and bird watching.
Have a good day folks.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Grey but dry in the Scottish Borders. Seems a sombre mood over the UK too. Good morning everyone. Ash I hope you feel better soon. It's a grim thing to have.
Admin and cleaning today. Phone calls to make. Have spoken so little on the phone I think I will write out a script. Just simple appointment making but worried I'll ramble.
Going to tackle the tasks I said I would do yesterday now. My best wishes to all. Noted that someone felt the thread was dwindling away. I hope not.

Good morning from dull Cheshire.
Beautiful pictures Gwenisgreat and Jaxjackie
Internet back after a big fuss late last night when most of the village was off and the complaints flooded in. It worked ! Supposed to be off unti Thursday but now back on.
Hope the day brings some sunshine to those in need of it.

Good morning from a grey skied Colchester. Rain forecast later.
I'm tackling the skirting boards in the kitchen diner as I've got an empty this morning. It'll be easier without male supervision
Must pop out for bread and milk before the rain starts.
Love to all ? x

Another good morning from S Lanarkshire. My flu/ covid jabs today and then into Giffnock to stay overnight. I got mixed up (in spite of being told several times) and the children don’t actually go back to school till tomorrow but I’m going anyway and will meet the new kitten which DGD has got for her birthday on Saturday. She absolutely loves cats, I hope the two already in residence are equally pleased!

Hope all goes well with your scan Urmston and that everyone else has a good day with all plumbers, electricians etc turning up and fixing everything that needs fixed!???
