Good Morning Tuesday 14th December 2021

Shocking Barmeyoldbat, just awful. My condolences to you and the family.

Sorry I was going to say I hope you all have a good Christmas

Gymstagran, all the very best to your daughter and to you. I

barmy, how absolutely dreadful! My heart goes out to you and the family. ?

My sincere condolences to you and your family Barmyoldbat .

Laurernorder my daughter was due to have her chemo 2 days before Christmas but negotiated with her oncologist and is now having it on the 30 Dec. Still not great but better than being those first few days over Christmas.

Barmyoldbat that's dreadful. What a nightmare for all concerned. I feel for everyone as I can't believe that something like that happened so suddenly. Thoughts and condolences x

Barmeyoldbat I’m so sorry, what a dreadfully shocking thing to happen. My condolences to your family.

Thinking of your DDiL Lauranorder.

Marydoll, a big hug for you from me.

So much sadness and loss people have to bear, my heart goes out to everyone who is suffering.

No more whinging from me!

Just seen your post Barmyoldbat how dreadful for you and all the family.

Barmeyoldbat, how awful for you and your family. My sincerest condolences. ?

Hope it’s a ‘good’ visit today GrannyS x

Barmeyoldbat How dreadful, my condolences to you and your family on the loss of your DiL, you must all be in shock x

I have missed your updates EV, I may not always comment on them but they are appreciated.

That sounds like a great plan for the day Urms. The fog is lifting a little here, but not enough to see what colour the sky is.

Marydoll I hope you’re planning a restful day and no more running around!

Barmeyoldbat, I’m so sorry I missed your post. What an awful tragedy.

Barmeyoldbat that was a shock to read! What a tragedy for all your family. My heart goes out to you.

LauraNorderr I send love and best wishes to your DD. Thoughts to you too. x

Blossoming ? your post resonated with how much I too miss my darling mother who died 15yrs ago.

Oh Lauranorderr that is awful news so close to Christmas. I have followed her chemo journey and knew today was the last. I am sending her caring thoughts. She will get through this.

Thank you grandMattie.

Mixed bag of posts this morning. Thoughts particularly with Barmyoldbat and Marydoll who have a particularly hard row to hoe just now. We never know what life will throw at us, which is probably just as well.

I have very mixed feelings about Christmas this year and have decided to dispense with the tree - it feels somehow disloyal to DH to just carry on as usual when he won’t be sharing it though will doubtless be lectured by DD.

Off shortly to see DH and hoping he will be in a communicative mood. You just never know.

Happy birthday baubles.

Happy birthday, baubles. Hope you manage a good day.
Laura, what can. I say except to keep you all in my heart and prayers. ❤️

Just heard from my daughter-in-law, chemo delayed because her neutrophils are too low (danger of infection) so will be next Tuesday now.
She’s so upset, four days before Christmas and that first week of chemo is vile as many of you know.

Safe journey to pantglas and happy birthday to Baubles.

Good morning from a wet but milder Glasgow. Every cloud has a silver lining I suppose.

Safe travels Pant. What a lovely feeling to waken up to some warmth and sunshine.
I have done nothing about decorations yet either Grammaretto but I will make the effort as the tree lights do add a bit of cheer on a dreich day.
Happy Birthday Baubles and many happy returns of the day. ?
Sorry to hear your news wasn’t good Marydoll, not at all what you were hoping to hear. ?
Hoping further tests show nothing untoward Gwen ?Your DGS sounds so sweet. Chief candle blower, I like his style.

I had an early morning call from DD2 in Australia. Something she often does as she drives home from work. She really is yearning to come home for a visit but it is too risky as we now have to wait again until more results about Omicron unfold.
I miss her so much and we just need our annual cuddle.

Have a pleasant day all and best wishes for a brighter day to all finding life tough at the moment.

Good morning Mick and everybody. I don’t know what the weather is like in my corner of Lancashire as we have thick fog. It’s currently 4°C. Today I will finish writing the Christmas cards, sort out some gift tokens that need to go in the mail and hopefully visit the post office. I am also going to change the bedroom curtains, which is a major undertaking with much huffing, puffing and cursing. The usual physio exercises and cycling (indoors) later.

Today is my mother’s birthday, 25 years since she died and I still miss her terribly. It comforts me that her death was sudden and swift, though it didn’t at the time. She would have hated to be an invalid, reliant on others for her care. All my memories are of her beautiful smiling face and doing things together.

Wishing you all the best possible day. May all those with worries find some comfort and all who are under the weather find some relief. ???
