Good Morning Everyone ,
Its dark but a dry start here in brackley this morning, today will be an interesting day.
I am getting a bus early to Bicester around 9 , as I have a booster jab at chemists which is on the bus route , I am hoping that I can walk in early before time given, and then catch another bus or walk into Bicester to do my usual routine .
Yesterday , I played the new ABBA CD and its a good selection , if Sweden entered them into the Eurovision ,40 years on would be interesting .
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning from Essex by the sea where the sun is shining ?.
Ironing and admin this morning and probably a visit to the supermarket this afternoon.
My 10 year old granddaughter is having her very long hair cut and donating said hair to make wigs for poorly children. We are all very proud of her.
Gingster I'm sorry to hear about your daughter. My youngest daughter went through this at the beginning of the year. I wish her well.
Enjoy Thursday everyone xx
Good morning Mick and all from a warmer Glasgow, its 12°C here.
Another day at home for me, as I have some goodies and also my injections being delivered. The shortage of injections, due to the medication being used successfully for Covid patients in ICU, seems to have eased slightly. Worryingly, they have recently been delivered in dribs and drabs, but I have been given a further delivery date to get me over Christmas, which is a huge relief! It took sixth months to get used to them, so I couldn't face a break in service!
Unexpectedly yesterday, I received an appointment to see the orthopaedic surgeon about my hip and hopefully also my foot problem. Both are impacting on each other and causing a lot of pain.
This was a total surprise, as I received a call in August, advising me there was a very long waiting list. I think my new rheumatologist may have had a hand in this! I like him already!
Today is Dollie's sixth birthday. She has croup, is on steroids and her beloved daddy is in Belfast on business. Not the best of situations for her to be in.
Baubles, I hope you are on the mend and feeling a bit better.
My friend's daughter, whom I taught twice, is seriously ill in hospital with sepsis and had surgery on her liver and gallbladder yesterday, after a bout of gastro enteritis. She has a six month old baby. For those of you who pray, please keep her in your prayers.
However, on a lighter note, MrDIY (under my tutelage), successfully regrouted the bathroom floor. Today the royal we will shampoo the living room carpet. It usually ends in a disaster. ? Another task is search for the Italian meatballs, I intended to freeze yesterday. They have vanished into thin air, I think I am going mad! ?
Wishing you all, the best day you can have and virtual hugs for all who need them.
Good morning all from the lady in isolation here on the east coast of Fife where the bin men are on their way and the suns rising way across the Firth of Firth . Too late I’m already awake make as much noise as you can my window is wide open and I’ll be able to hear their choice conversations. 
hugs and best wishes to everyone this gorgeous morning 
Good morning from Cheshire.
Exciting news soon Grandmadinosaur. How lovely to have a new grandchild.
Still quite dark here but seems mild.
Will come back to read rest of posts later.
Good morning everyone from a bright and dry Northampton. A quick tidy up before Sainsburys delivers this morning, then out to ballet after lunch.
Thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Chatsworth yesterday. The weather was kind to us and although it was chilly, it luckily stayed dry. The house was beautifully decorated for Christmas, certainly worth seeing. Lots of stalls at the Christmas market, where we enjoyed mulled wine on arrival!
A complete coincidence, my brother-in-law was also visiting Chatsworth yesterday! Didn't know until I got on the coach to go home and saw his post on Facebook. Unfortunately we didn't come across each other.
Haven't read any posts yet, so will go back and read all the news now. Hope Thursday is kind to us all.
Good morning all from a grey S Hants. I do that with the autumn leaves too Beechnut!
Gosh, lots going on this morning, I’ll just say that I’m dropping MrJ at Southampton airport later, thank goodness we’re close.
Imogen won an award at school, part of the award was a 3 course dinner at school last night, so the picture is of her, for Cherry especially.
Poorly people get better soon, baubles. ??? for all today.
Good morning from Leicestershire.
Few posts but a lot of news this morning.
Hope you feel better soon Urmstongran. This cold is a stinker.
Sorry to hear your daughter’s news Gingster I hope the next op goes well.
That’s a beautiful bag Mattie your friend is very lucky.
Busy day here dog walking, Tai Chi, hearing test and NWR National quiz this evening. Some members are gathering in my house. It will be nice to be face to face.
Hope GrannySomerset feels better today. Thinking of all those with worries and illnesses.
The posts are taking a long time to appear today?
Good morning from a grey Cornwall. The sun is just rising but as we are facing West you wouldn't know it. A dry cloudy day forecast.
Today we are walking to Lands End. No too great a feat as it's a mile away!!!
Love to all ? x
Sorry hadn’t finished. That is some lockdown hair. Grannygravy. I’d hang on to it if I were you!
Hope everyone is feeling as best they can with as few worries as possible
Good morning all from drizzly Harrogate
Sainsburies seem to have got lost with my delivery today! It started out being today, then it changed to tomorrow,
then I found it was next week so I phoned and was assured it would be today - but I haven’t had a receipt! So could be yet another mystery!!
Baubles hope you feel a lot better today, that was a nasty shock.
Good morning all. It’s looking like a bright day in prospect in East Yorkshire.
Today I’m expecting 2 deliveries! One is our new dining table and chairs.
The more exciting one is our new grandchild. I woke in the night and couldn’t get back to sleep thinking it all over.
Grandson slept here last night and slept well. He’s currently eating his weetabix. He will be here after school too.
Take care all.
Good morning all and it feels a bit chillier here in Essex.
Yesterday DD came in to explain her results of the biopsy on her removed mole. It was cancerous but hopefully all removed. ?. They are going to take away a bit more just to be sure, so she will have to go in to hospital for 2 or 3 days as they will do a skin graft,
DGD phoned from Uni very upset about her mum, but we had a long chat and I managed to make her chuckle. She also spoke to her mum, so I think she feels a bit reassured.
The funny thing is, she isn’t close to her mum. Chose to live with her dad from the age of 11 and is quite cool towards her. I think she now realises how much her mum loves her and indeed how much she loves her mum.
As GM says ‘Carpe Diem*. So very true! ❤️
Kind thoughts to all who are poorly, anxious or just plain ‘cheesed off’.
????
Good morning from Shropshire.
An early hospital appointment for DH this morning.Need to allow an hour to get there as roadworks are making a 25 minute journey double the time.
My post took ages then I got an Error54. I went back to the page and there was my post.
Let’s see how this one goes ?
X posts Maw! Thank yo.
?
I’ve said before, every day is a school day on GN. A nice change for me to be teacher ha!
Good morning all from North Leicestershire. Like maw, I expect we will have some weather later.
Not a lot on here today. The tiler should finish today and we have a Sainsbury's delivery late afternoon. I suppose I should sort my desk out.
We had a lovely time with DD1 and her family last evening. Lots of catching up and laughter.
TOYA
I typed enough out patient letters from chest physicians to patient’s GPs over the years!
“TECHNICAL
the exhalation of breath from the lungs.
"at the end of expiration there is still a slight inflation in the lungs"
Pulmonary ventilation comprises two major steps: inspiration and expiration. Inspiration is the process that causes air to enter the lungs, and expiration is the process that causes air to leave the lungs (Figure 3). A respiratory cycle is one sequence of inspiration and expiration.
You are perfectly right of course Urmston ! 

Good Morning everyone from a dry and getting light Severnside.
Coming home from the meet up I went to yesterday I saw plenty of fallen dry leaves so I had a shuffle in them. One of my autumn pleasures.
A pretty bag Mattie. It’s nice to have two different looks on the same theme.
My plan for today is not to be lazy and get some cleaning done. That’ll make me feel better.
Take care all and hope you feel better baubles ???
