Good morning everyone, there is a rosy light from the sun struggling through the clouds .
I should have been at art class on Fridays but didn’t join this year , I just heard last night that it was cancelled last week due to our lovely tutor having tested positive for Covid ! I hope she is ok , now heard this morning it is cancelled till after Christmas .
Hope GrannySomerset has had the hospital bed delivered and assembled

Awaiting a friend to help me dismantle DH’s bed to make way for a hospital bed being delivered today. He is convinced this means he is dying and had me up at 2.00, 4.30 and 6.30 am because he was so worried. The fact that it is to help my back cuts no ice at all. Happily DD and lovely husband arrive this evening for a short visit so he has something to look forward to. Could it be the antibiotics playing tricks with an already disordered mind?

Have a good day, GMers.

Good morning Mick and all from cold, sunny Lancashire. Sounds like a good day ahead Mick, how lovely to have a visitor. I’m drinking my morning tea in bed, it’s getting to be a habit. It’s windy outside, not giving me any incentive to move! Off to the hairdresser this afternoon, and rain is forecast so will need the big coat. Keeping my fingers crossed for your son’s visit GradMattie

Have the best day possible all, keep safe and warm.

Glad that the hospital bed is arriving today and you have a family visit later GrannySomerset. Hope Mr. GS settles down later. flowers

Good morning from sunny North Wales.

We arrived at 8.30 to take DGD to school and she was still in her pj’s.Between me, grandpa and son in law we got her ready and we were out of the house by 8.40.I will spend the day doing laundry as our washing machine is broken.Roll on Monday when the new one is delivered.School pick up at 3 and straight to a Halloween party.DD has very kindly offered my services to help with the event so Grandpa will have charge of the children.

Congratulations to NanKate and husband on your Golden wedding anniversary??

Good news on the clear mammogram hollysteers?

Thinking of harrigran and all with worries and struggles??

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s damp after rain during the night (best time - it can rain all it likes between midnight and 7am!). Seems chillier too.

The Boy Wonder & L’il Miss break up from school this afternoon for their half term week. I have a routine dental check up at noon.

Himself has booked us flights over to Malaga on 3 January and I’m ridiculously excited! This year I fancy going out every other month rather than long stretches there necessitating long stretches here. Will see how that plan works out!

Weekend congratulations to you and your husband NanKate! Take your time Marydoll navigating through Glasgow - it’ll be road closures in preparation of COPfest!
??? that thread was so funny yesterday wasn’t it? Such a disappointment about your plans kitty - you’ll both have to increase your portion sizes for a while. Seriously though, I bet you’re both feeling a bit down. Soon I hope?

Enjoy Friday all who can.

X posts you must be shattered GrannySomerset and churned up about your husband’s perception of events. ?

Good morning Mick, Annie and all. It is dry, but dull here, and I have no idea what the forecast is, but hope the rain stays away.
I am due a Vit B12 injection this afternoon, and tried to ask 'Alexa' to set an alarm, but she is not listening. Something for DH to sort out later.
Nice to hear of you laughing and having a happy time at your class GrandMattie.
Happy Anniversary to Mr and Mrs NanKate this weekend.
Nothing exciting to report from AuntieFlo towers.
Oh, DH has fixed Alexa. Evidently her mic had been turned off!
Have a good day one and all.

Happy Anniversary to the NanKates a mega milestone, enjoy all of your celebrations ?❤️.
Very disappointing kitty, so much anticipation ?.
Good news, a clear result hollysteers, bet that’s bucked up and I’m pleased your bed is coming GSomerset.

Good morning Mick and everyone from sunny Carlisle. Nice to know you have a sister visiting, Mick.
I'm a bit frayed after a disturbed night. I woke around 1.30am feeling deeply cold and the bedroom was the usual temperature. Totally unable to get back to sleep, after an hour I gave in and got up to don pyjamas, turn up the heating and throw the extra layer of the duvet over the bed. Then I got to sleep but woke at 6am,too hot and sweaty to get back to sleep again! I have a very narrow range of comfortable operating temperatures.
Today the ironing is done and it's on to the endless admin and hopefully gardening after lunch. It's looking like I may have my border dug out and prepared before my soft fruit bushes arrive.
Wishing you all a pleasant day and thinking of harrigran

Good morning from sunny North Wales. I am still recovering from the fall on Monday so not doing much again today.
Happy Anniversary to Nankate and her DH ?.
Thoughts with those GNs who are not feeling good today.

AGAA4: I missed the news about your fall, I hope you aren’t injured x

Good morning,

It’s starting to brighten up after a damp, cold start. When I got up my plan was to wash the bedding, but it can wait until a drier day, I think. No point hanging it outside to dry as it just won’t, so it can wait a bit longer.

Happy anniversary for tomorrow , Nankate and your DH ??.
Sorry to read that your DH is still in hospital, Greyduster. I hope they let him come home soon.

How disappointing, Kitty. Will you be able to freeze some of the foodstuffs for another time? Let’s hope it won’t be too long before your family can visit.

Enjoy your time with your sister, Mick.

Another day of “not a lot planned” other than the usual jobs and admin. Think I’ll settle down with my book later. It’s another Val McDermid book. I find her stories engrossing and get quite lost in them! ?

Take care everyone and thoughts to all of you with worries and difficulties ?.

Marydoll Fri 22-Oct-21 11:30:57

Urms, I did enjoy the thread!
It's just road resurfacing, nothing to do with Copfest. I couldn't even get out at the end of my road. I'm curious as to how they have suddenly found the finance. No matter, which way I took, there were road works.
Moan over!

Stressful and annoying Marydoll.
