Good Morning Thursday 4th November 2021

Happy Birthday GreyDuster hope you have a lovely day.

So sorry to hear you are still suffer GrannyGravy I was also coughing for England all last night but hoping I can avoid the doctor. How horrid for your DiL to have her op cancelled at the last minute. It takes a lot to psych yourself up twice!! Fingers crossed it takes place on Monday.

Morning all, maybe afternoon! Just caught up with the posts, Marydoll I would say your hubbie has passed probation, what a star. Do you lend him out? GrannyGravy hope you feel better soon and your dil’s op goes ahead on Monday, she must be so disappointed. I’ve been watching tennis from Paris all week, and last evening I burnt the Brussels as I was so absorbed. The smell was horrendous, that will teach me! Have the best day possible everyone.

Snuck back to wish greyduster a very happy Birthday ???

Susan just looked at Titanic Hotel, great, thanks for that

Just a quickie for my fellow scousers. My Dad was a staunch Evertonian and I wouldn’t have dared marry a Liverpool supporter. Spent many happy hours at the Gladys Street end of Goodison Park However our eldest son the traitorous turncoat switched sides and my poor Dad was forced to prove his love by setting foot in Anfield.

Good morning from chilly Leicestershire.

We are venturing out this morning for hearing tests. They are long overdue as we have been having very odd conversations like - ‘What would you like for dinner’
‘I think it is quarter past 2’!

Have a good day everyone.

Good afternoon all from nothing so sunny Isle of Thanet.

Oh dear, I just read this out to him indoors. ??
To give you an idea of our household, we are both Geordies but from different ends. Plus I left and came down south when I was 21, I'm now 55. I still have a Geordie accent but, in respect of our accents, mine was never a broad Geordie accent. On the other hand, although he also left at some point he wasn't away that long and went back.
I did go back for a few months (ended up being from 2013 to 2018 lol).
My children understand him better than I do ???? and they were born down here & have always lived here!
I do have slight hearing problems (tinnitus) and ADD which doesn't help. But we have some weird conversations, too, so you are not alone! xx

Oh dear GrannyGravy you are in the wars. Hope the latest round of antibiotics start to work soon and you feel better. Your poor daughter-in-law, how awful after psyching herself up for such a big operation to then have to face it all over again.
Fingers crossed for Monday

Oh GrannyGravy how disappointing for your daughter in law.Hope the operation can go ahead on Monday.The waiting must be so stressful for you all.I hope the stronger antibiotics do the trick for you.Sending love and strength to you and your family?

Polly, we are all Liverpool supporters.Dad and brothers had season tickets for Anfield.When I was about ten years old I had a phase of insisting I was an Evertonian.Went down like a lead balloon?

We have stayed at the Titanic hotel the last couple of times we have visited.It’s DD and SIL’s new favourite hotel.There are lots of deals to be had and can work out not much different to Premier Inn prices if you’re lucky.The only snag is it’s a bit out of the centre.

Good Morning from a grey, chilly & breezy Cambs.,

Happy Birthday Greyduster,

Thinking of you & your family [GrannyGravy],
Also GrannySomerset, & harrigran.

Take Care, all of you,

Morning I know and all

No idea what happened to my post of 6.20ish this morning. Another bad night coughing and wheezing. Held on the phone for 40 minutes only to be told by the care navigator (why can’t they stick to flipping receptionist, or gate keepers as they are known in our house since Covid) that he couldn’t make me a face-to-face appointment. I asked how they were going to listen to my chest, check my oxygen levels and take my peak flow reading over the phone, silence….. Anyway my actual GP rang just after 10am asking me to go straight to the surgery (I must admit to having a little cry of relief), stronger antibiotics, plenty of rest and steroids only if I really cannot breath hopefully this plan will keep me out of hospital.

My poor DiL was all prepped to go down to theatre this morning for a major operation (8 hours involving her lungs/chest) only to be told it was off 40 minutes beforehand as they were short of ICU nurses, hoping for Monday now.

Just re-read this, so full of gloom, sorry folks.

Keep safe and well folks ??‍♀️

Everpoolian?

PollyTickke I love Liverpool too and my fellow Liverpudlians, they will always be in my heart although I’m not in the city now. I miss the humour so much. It’s certainly a fine city and that area will be regenerated, which is a good thing.
I’m a Livertonian or Everpolian, don’t mind who wins, Mother Evertonian, father Liverpool supporter.

Thank you all for your thoughts on me falling. I will take the advice to take it easy today. Beechnutella has just asked how is my scabby leg ?

Wishing you a Happy Birthday Greyduster, enjoy your meal out tonight ??

Happy Birthday greyduster enjoy your day.

Good news on the school collection Marydoll if you are anything like me you forget any aches and pains when they are around. A perfect tonic.

Hollysteers if I had a view of any water I would be happy!

Good morning Mick and everyone from sunny Carlisle. I feel I must abandon inside duties today and get out for some exercise in the sun. I did get out in the garden and fork about in my border yesterday afternoon but it had greyed over a bit by then.
This morning I have already polished off the ironing so little left to do in the housework department but plenty of useful stuff still to do in getting the new house to my satisfaction.
I finally ticked Liverpool off my bucket list early in 2019 just as the pandemic was kicking off. It is a fantastic city, I too stayed in the Premier Inn on the dockside, a great area to be in. My only criticism ....they are spoiling the wonderful waterfront with these modern buildings.
Have the best possible day everyone.

Hollysteers, I meant to say how sad it is when our sons or daughters leave again, the visits do seem so fleeting.
Hope the leak is soon fixed.
So are you blues or reds?

Wonderful news about Dollie Marydoll. Just the ticket.
And you always think of such interesting trips out Maw. Enjoy your day it sounds fab.
?

hollysteers you haven’t lost the humour so typical of this city. The waterfront’s so beautiful “they” built it twice.

Prack has just reminded me that Liverpool has one of the most iconic waterfronts in the world, even replicated in Shanghai, so I’m sorry Hollysteers but I’m sticking up for Liverpool.
I was born there too, spent my teenage years in that great city. Feel nothing but pride.

My hometown too hollysteers.I loved growing up in Liverpool and love going back to visit but glad I live where I do now,
Our eldest daughter loves Liverpool, it must be in her genes!

?very happy birthday Greyduster ?
We stayed in a Premier Inn at the Albert Dock a few years ago Hollysteers, I thought the whole area was fabulous. Walked up to the Walker Art Gallery and the museum, back down to the Tate Modern, spent time in the maritime museum and lots more, really enjoyed that wonderful city centre.

Marydoll, what fabulous news about Dollie! So happy for you.
And, yes, hang on to MrMary for a smidgen longer, probation or no prbation. Mine would be bleating that he doesn't know how to do it, or even worse, that "you do it better than me, darling!"

Good morning Mick and all from a sunny Lancashire coast.
Plumber here fixing a leaking radiator and DD leaving soon for the south. Her visits fly by so quickly.
Great recital with Malaysian pianist yesterday, powerful playing. We practically jumped out of our seats at one point,
The Yamaha has remained intact…
Had my booster and flu jab in town after that and have never felt the jab so hard before, usually it’s just a ‘prick’ as they say,
Sore arm today, don’t mind that, it’s a bad reaction I don’t want.
Happy birthday Greyduster hope you all have a good day.
Advert in our local free paper, graffiti by me. I can take the mickey as it’s my hometown ?

A very Happy Birthday Greyduster ??? enjoy your family meal tonight.
