Good Morning Everyone,
Its a dark, and a wet morning here in brackley this morning.
Todays plans are to go via Buckingham to Bicester and return direct .
I will have a breakfast bap in the bakery cafe I use in Bicester plus a coffee ,and then a small shop.
Later I will have my usual Saturday Chinese , mind you I wanted my regular Fish & Chip shop take away yesterday , but it was closed due to a family member having Covid .
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning Mick, Annie and all.

GrannySomerset, my condolences to you. Here's hoping that you take care of yourself now and can relax a little.

Sorry to hear that you are not sleeping well GrandMattie, and that your DH is poorly as well. Hugs to you both.

I had a good chat with one of the oncology team yesterday and got some of my worries off my chest.
DD phoned in the evening and sounded so tired with all the extra work that the vaccination programme entails, staff shortages etc.
We will have to do some shopping later, as the cupboards are looking rather bare. Having never shopped on line, it is beginning to look more favourable. But, I'm not sure that I could actually bring myself to start.
Marydoll, glad you got to your appointment, albeit, a scary journey, and that you had time to discuss things in length.
Thinking of EV, after my crumpets this morning. They were huge, and after yesterdays fight with the toaster, I had to do them under the grill. Especially tasty though with GD's Damson jam.
Have a good day one and all.

Please accept my sincere condolences GrannySomerset on the death of your very dear husband. Yes, it’s a release from suffering but for that you have to pay the ultimate price.

Kim so glad that both Auntiflo and Marydoll were able to see/speak to kind, helpful people. It is so reassuring when you actually get the information you want even if it isn’t what you wish for. Big hugs to them too.❤️
Praying that today is gentle for all those with worries and sorrow. Tomorrow will be better… ☀️❤️???

Good Morning All x.
Dull and damp but nowhere near as cold as it has been.
At the moment I'm a bit concerned for the old Tom cat who lives ( snugly ) outside in his kennel, as up to now he hasn't stirred.
I know he's very old but I've been so used to seeing his face at the window waiting for his breakfast. I've only peeked inside the kennel and he looks to be " curled up asleep ".

I'll give it a bit more time and if he's still in the same position I'll feel his body. Not sure what to do if he's " gone ". I knew the day would come sometime because of his age but it'll still be upsetting. I'll miss his character.

Flippin' 'eck, he's just appeared, little tinker, when I've got tears ! He's just having a lie-in---well I never. Foxing me grin
Goodness me, enough of that.

Glad to hear that Urms arrived safely and is already " feeling at home ", good for you. You next for " home " Pantglas, holidays are soon over sad

Just some tidying to do and a leg of lamb to come out of the freezer---to keep me going, seems a while since I had lamb for Sunday dinner so that'll go down nicely.
I could do with doing some washing as well but maybe that can wait until Monday.

Not the best of days for Marydoll yesterday, as if it wasn't enough that your health isn't good but also the travelling too. I'm sure you were glad to get back home.

Quite a few of you with concerns either for yourselves or family members so I hope you can find some comfort to ease the worries. This is always the worse time of the year at the best of times. The news doesn't help either.

On the Wirral here we're in for a bumpy ride for this year with many facilities closing because of a financial shortfall. Cuts of £27m says it all---libraries, toilets,golf courses etc etc., what a mess for a seaside town which relies on visitors. No wonder places go to rack and ruin.

Gosh, I started writing this 2 hours or so ago ! Between breakfast and the news-------that's how disorganised I am.
Anyway, before it's lunchtime I'll leave you with thoughts to those are struggling and love to all. Stay safe xx.

Grannysomerset so sorry. Please look after yourself now and take comfort from your friends and family ?

Grandmajean Sat 08-Jan-22 10:47:47

EllanVannin I started reading your post and didn't want to see the end. Have just checked and old Tom has appeared ! Enjoy his presence.
