Good Morning Tuesday 2nd November 2021

Susan I somehow have missed your post. I hope you get better news than you anticipate. ?

Good morning from a dry but cool NE.
Everything went very smoothly yesterday and I was not the emotional wreck I thought I would be.
We said our final goodbye to DH with Nat King Cole singing Autmn leaves.
Thank you for all your kind messages, much appreciated as I am going to need a lot of virtual hand holding in the coming weeks.

Good morning Mick and all his followers. I hope you can make successful phone calls now Mick. We have another beautiful morning in Suffolk, albeit rather chilly. The stars were stunning last night, including the Milky Way above our heads.
Marydoll I can feel your frustration from here. Someone from church is having her third jab this week then a booster in 6 weeks. She too has RA.
We had our boosters last week and I get my flu jab on Saturday, so then we are both sorted. So many people seem to think this is all over but sadly it is not.

My DH bought me a mattock yesterday, to help me dig in the front garden - he is ever the romantic! Think a steep bank, flinty clay and next door’s tree roots. I struggle to dig the holes to plant in. Lots of ground cover plants needed.

I hope the day is kind to everyone.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning from a bright, dry but cold Colchester.
DH is painting the lounge ceiling while I am charity shop volunteering. Hopefully he won't caused too much devastation
Love to all xx

Good morning from Anglesey where the sun is shining but the sky is grey.
As I write, my beautiful young daughter-in-law is settling in to a chair to be pumped full of chemicals that are thankfully shrinking the tumour in her breast.
Round four of six and getting there.
I’ve said it before on here, she really is one of those pure, gentle and lovely people. She sees the best in everyone, makes the best of everything and we’re blessed to have her in our family.
I sat across the dinner table from her on Sunday, her lovely blonde hair now lost and big blue eyes filling so readily with tears, struggling with emotions so close to the surface and I thought what an unfair world this can be but then many of you already know that.
So today I’m sending a big hug to all those who need it and a hand to hold for Harrigran.
???

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. The sun is up in South Yorkshire but it’s much colder this morning. At least we should be able to get DH out for a short walk, and I have some bits I want to do in the garden. We had a text last night from GS asking if we fancied a chat! It was ten minutes to ten and we were about to go to bed. Did we say no? Of course we didn’t! He’s a joy at any time.
Harri?. Every good wish to you going forward.
Have the best day you can, folks.

Oh Polly it’s not fair is it, a harsh means to a healthy end. ?
Always warm hands and arms for hugs here harrigran x

Well, I know I posted my good morning because it came up highlighted in pink, but it is now nowhere to be seen! Perhaps it has spontaneously migrated to another thread!

It is a frosty morning and only 3° here in Northampton. A few jobs to do around the house this morning, then I am off out for a health walk this afternoon, followed by coffee and chat afterwards in the cafe. I need the exercise today, as I sat and read all afternoon yesterday. Even though I have a pile of books waiting to be read, I could not resist ordering yet another one!

A salmon fillet is waiting to be marinated in the Hairy Dieters' chilli, orange and ginger sauce, then I shall have that tonight with baby potatoes and peas.

Thinking of all those today who are feeling anxious, sad, or poorly, especially harrigran, Susan and Polly's DD. May the day be kind to all of us.

A warm hand to hold for you here harrigran I wasn’t aware of Autumn Leaves until you posted earlier about it. My what a very poignant song ?
Polly also thinking of your dear DIL going through a hard time ?

A later good morning from me, bright sky but cold. DGC dispatched to school, uniforms to iron then home to my own ‘bit’ Experiencing the chaos that is breakfast, dressing, school bag, sports gear etc gathering, I love them dearly but am glad it is no longer a daily occurrence in my life! Definitely a time for everything!

So very sorry to read your sad news baubles, it’s quite frightening too. Will remember the family. Hope your wee one is better this morning

?to harrigran*, and supportive prayers for PollyTickles daughter in law.

Lovely to see Scentia posting again as well as some new grans, welcome to all of them.

Wishing everyone a good day???

Good morning from a beautiful day in Leicestershire, such a pity I am not up to going out.

If you have the cold I have Marydoll I am surprised you can raise the energy to go out. I haven't felt as bad as this since I had chemo!

I sympathise with your lovely DiL Polly breast cancer, especially in one so young is very cruel. Unfortunately 1 in 8 women get it. I wish her well with the rest of her treatment.

Yesterday the Covid family were still relatively well but I have yet to get the daily update. I cannot sleep thinking about them so far away.

We are always here to hold your hand Harrigran. I am pleased yesterday went smoothly.

Wishing you all a good day.

Sorry, Susan, good luck with your scan.

Good Morning all from bright and dry Harrogate - I have a wash on and am optimistic that it will mostly dry outdoors.
Well, that was nearly nasty, my Roomba vacuum cleaner decided to cleaner under the chair I was sat on and has got stuck. Will have to wait for DH to get back to get it out (my chair is too heavy for me to lift). Oh Susan56 fingers crossed the results will be better than you are thinking.
Marydoll I think the system in Scotland is different from here? I have had my booster, but have to have another one in a few weeks? Also a friend has been telling me of the problems with traffic because of the convention taking place. It's bad enough one person coming in one car, but when the Jo Biden comes in 85 cars, that's just a bit much!! And the president of China doesn't want to come in case he gets COVID, he's obviously got a short memory!!
'Nuff said!
Hugs for Harrigran
Hope you all have the best day you can.

Thinking often of your dear daughter- in -law, pollyTickle It makes little niggling annoyances seem so trivial.

So sad for your lovely d.i.l, Polly. She will certainly be kept in my prayers and thoughts. ❤️

Good morning all from sunny W Kent. Having had GC here for a couple of days I have now booked a hearing test as DH says they were talking to me and I wasn't hearing! wonder what I missed.
Best wishes to all.

?and hugs to all needing them
Susan,*Cherry*,*Polly**Harrigran**Marydoll*.

Good morning Mick and all from a frosty and sunny morning.
Nothing much planned today, our lunch date with DHs friends has been cancelled as they have this awful cold.
I have to go and put my Geraniums away for the Winter later on when the day is warmer.
Ironing done, so now off to find scarves, hats and gloves another Autumn job.
Hugs for all of those who have worries and sadness, too many to mention this morning, but I’m thinking of you all.
DD1 is in Glasgow walking her socks off, strange how a Climate Conference sees so many private jets flying in, plus masses of vehicles shipped over for the occasion. They just don’t get it do they ? it’s always somebody else’s problem, rant over, sorry.

Good morning from a sunny but chilly North Wales.
I am back home now after visiting my daughter who has been ill but thanks to a lovely new young GP she is much better and able to cope with the whirlwind, 2 year old GS.
Harrigran Autumn Leaves was such a good choice for the sad event. I am singing it to myself and feeling tearful. My own DH died young many years ago. Look after yourself and stay close to those you love.

Good morning Mick and all from a brightening Lancashire coast.
DD and DS here, which is nice and DD cooked a spag bog last night, then we watched University Challenge and did quite well, apart from the questions where even the questions made no sense.
Today off to sing in music club, so should have a little warm up.
Bad stomach settling down.
DD brought a pile of books I had sent to my housebound sister in law, all by an author I like too, so must not buy any more books. Be told!
Hugs to harrigran after one of the most difficult days of our lives and hoping for good news for Susan56 ??

Good morning from Sefton where it is no longer raining.
Glad to see you’ve had your booster Sar53 and that my suggestion to you yesterday worked.
Tai Chi for me today and a family member’s birthday celebration later.
Sending lots of hugs and hope in response to some concerning posts today. May you all find a smile and a ?.

I beg your pardon, it seems President Biden only had 22 cars in Scotland

Another hug here harri for you.
And PollyTickle what a poignant read about your obviously much loved daughter in law. I hope her treatment soon brings back your healthy girl to you all and that those sad emotions will soon be a thing of the past. My younger sister went through the mill with Stage IV breast cancer, needing surgery, chemo, radiotherapy, removal of 16 lymph glands from her armpits, reconstruction and that was all 4 years ago now and she is happy and healthy. I post this, not in a competitive way but to hopefully reassure and inspire you all. x

... all your family.
