Good Morning Monday 20th December 2021

Shelflife, glad to hear it. Thank you. If we all pull together, we will achieve the target.

Marydoll, thank you for the go fund me link to help soop . I have’ not posted on the good morning thread before but always read and couldn’t let the opportunity to help pass by. I send soop every good wish possible and lots of luck with her surgery. Don’t know soop but hope she knows how many of us are rooting for her . I send her big hugs .

minus 2 in the South of Denmark and marvellous sunshine.
Even with dark sun-glasses on, it was hard to see where I was going this morning.

I was cycling due south across the border to Germany and at this time of the year the sun is south-east by south until 11 and it looks as if it is only just above the left handlebar of the bike.

Got my shopping without freezing to death or more importantly cycling bang into anyone or thing.

3rd corona vaccination this afternoon at 2.20 - left bike at home this time, as coming back I would have been driving due west just as the sun made its way there!

Marydoll

No worry, Dragonfly, you probably confused her with her dotty gran!

I have now mislaid my Ninja instruction book, forgot to change my Fentanyl patch and only realised I had forgotten to administer my biologics injection, when DH asked me why there was music playing upstairs. It was the alert on my phone.

I'm am discombulated and my world is totally out of equilibrium! ?
It's probably best that I stay in. ?

He’s obviously not as deaf as you take him for Marydoll ?
‘Selective hearing loss’ comes to mind!

Seems more like "C'est la guerre" at the moment auntieflo

Marydoll, you are not the only one discombobulated and out of equilibrium.
Me Too!,

I thought we were expecting our boys, bringing lunch with them Today.
Oh no, DS1 has just rung, asking where restaurant is located, to all choose food.
They are coming on Thursday?
I know there was a choice of day to visit, and they have evidently left their poor old mum all of a dither. They have arranged it between themselves, as to which day.
So now, we are getting peckish, and it will be a toasted cheese sandwich, and rummage in the freezer for something for tonight.
I was expecting to nibble on leftovers later.
Oh well, c'est la vie. Or words to that effect.

Hello from NE Hampshire. Marydoll don’t shake too hard, we want you to stay as well as possible for Christmas. Too many with worries about tests to mention, but you are all being thought about and everything crossed that good news comes soon.
Especially thinking of little Dollie and other littlies who are coping with this horrible virus. I really hope they all get well in time for Christmas. I wish we all had magic wands ? to spread good cheer and better times around. I’d wish that all your Christmas dreams come true ?

Oh, Marydoll sorry to hear about Dollie - hope her symptoms are minimal.

Sorry Mary meant to say Dolly not Dotty. Perhaps I should refrain from posting after all!!!

Hi Marydoll I do hope Dollie only has a mild case of Covid, hopefully despite her asthma she will be ok.

Oh goodness me, just seen the news about Dollie. I sincerely hope that she is alright. I know that she'll be well cared for in every way and I can only wish her a speedy recovery. Sending my love and best wishes to her. xx

I'm just back from Stirling to see that Dolly has the virus. Marydoll I'm really sorry for her and you as I know I worry about my two children and two grandsons and your love for her shines through. Harrigran? for you.
No curry this visit Marydoll. But more presents got. I picked up two bottles of the Clementine gin from M&S. However I was three minutes too early to buy it because of the ten o'clock alcohol rule. Fortunately the lovely checkout girl warned me so I kept letting folk in front of me. We then did a countdown in the queue as others had booze too and cheered at ten. Folk must have thought we were mad or alcoholics! I'm having a cuppa before I start a wrapping marathon. Take care all.

Oh, Marydoll, I’m so, so sorry! I shall pray that Dollie is spared everything bar a cold… ?❤️

Good morning Mick and all from a dull northwest coast.
Did a big online shop for the first time since lockdown as it seems my entertainments for sheltered accommodation etc are going ahead leading into Christmas, which is surprising really but it will give me more time for other Christmas preparations.
I now have a date In January for my brother in law’s funeral in the south, but no date for the burial here in the family grave. I’m thinking my husband’s ashes from five years ago could also be buried there.
Thoughts to harrigran and anyone with troubles, will read through later.

Good morning from Manchester. We were supposed to go out for me to try on a car like Cinderella with a shoe but I had a bad night and then I fell over in the shower this morning even with all those grab rails I fell off the plastic chair. I am all right but have some big red marks. I hope children with the covid will be all right and the adults waiting for results will get them soon and they will be negative.
The kids loved the pullovers but dd s cardigan didnt fit. Shes going to give it to her friend. I told her I cant make another one because my hands are very swollen now so I will give her money instead.
Bye for now

Good morning just popped in the add my best wishes to Dotty.
A tip Marydoll make sure the Ninja is heated up first before you use the slow cooker as it is not its best function. If you just start with slow cook it will take forever. I usually sear things first to heat the element then lower the heat.

Thinking of Harrigran and Auntiflo also.

I don't post often as I lead such a dull life at the moment but I have fingers crossed that my DD and SiL can come up on Wednesday!

Sending best wishes to all and hoping those test results come in quickly.

Thank you all for your kind wishes for Dollie.
Mum is very capable, has upped her inhalers, is monitoring her peak flow and has a rescue pack for her, if necessary.
I also have a rescue pack and extra inhalers, so fingers crossed, it will be OK.
Perversely, Dollie is quite happy, she no longer has to stay in a room by herself!!

I would rather be ill myself, than see her unwell. However, I need to give my self a shake and get on with things. Others have much worse going on in their families.

I am going to try the slow cooker function on my new Ninja. Thank goodness I am IT savvy, it has so many options and my brain fog is hampering the reading of the instructions!! That should keep me out of mischief for a while.

Marydoll so sorry to hear about dollie. I hope she is only mildly affected and will be back to her normal self soon.

Good morning all from a sunny W Kent. Will make sure I have a walk today. Good wishes to all and hope the tests go the right way.

Thank you Brook and Sar . Yes it’s difficult with the little ones. I think it’s especially upsetting for my gs as he’s been to 2 of his classmates parties in the last few weeks and now it’s his turn it can’t go ahead. Heartbreaking for them.

Good Morning Mick and everyone from grey damp Carlisle. I preferred it when it was cold frosty and sunny.
Busy today with final packing jobs, sorting out leaving the house jobs and worrying about whether I've forgotten something vital. The suitcase is looking full and there is still stuff to go in. I am NOT going to get my very big suitcase out!
My very best wishes for Dollie, Marydoll.
A good day to all I hope.

Harrigran - A hard day for you but comforting memories. Kind thoughts.

That should have read Good Morning! Though I hope you all have good luck too

Good luck Mick and everyone from cold, grey Lancashire where it is currently 4°C. Today is my last DPP Zoom meeting of 2021 as we break for Christmas, back again on 10th January.. wishing everyone a Happy Monday. ??
