Good Morning Thursday 20th January 2022

Good morning all from a chilly North Leicestershire.

A pootling and faffing day for ne today - I never quite manage get to the end of my list.

Good morning and yes it’s frosty here in Essex AGAIN!,
Grrrr!
I hate having to defrost the car before the school run. I might get Rip Van Winkle out of bed to help . By the time he’s up and dressed, I would have done it myself. No urgency with DH, I’m afraid ?

Bowls club this morning and art class this afternoon, so a therapeutic day for me. ??‍?.

Sorry about your ear dressing Mick . It isn’t an easy place to dress. Annoying for you.

Scentia that weighted blanket is certainly working for you. ?

Sar I hope you find a nice coffee shop. When I went to Chelmsford before Christmas, our usual lunch place had closed and we struggled to find anywhere to eat. My friend told me yesterday, there’s a nice cafe opposite Lakeland. Maybe you could have a look.

Love and best wishes to all. ?

Good Morning everyone from Severnside. It’s a frosty one. The apricot glow is lightening the sky showing off the dark silhouette of the trees with a lone star. It’s a beautiful sight I always think.

Today I’ll potter and try to find my marbles ? I’d like to use them in a fun bathroom display I have.

I’ll go back and read everyone’s news but I did see Ash met Brook. I wondered if you might manage to do that.

Good wishes to all ?❄️

Good morning everyone from East Yorkshire. Alexa says it is 1degree. It doesn’t appear to be icy which I’m pleased about.

Today I’m going to my rearranged coffee morning. I think there may only be a couple of us. After that I have a couple of hours spare before GS comes after school.

Love Matts cartoon today * Urms* thank you for posting

How lovely to meet up with Brook on there walk Ash

Thinking of the mums with worries over DDs and DIL at the moment.

Take care everyone.

Morning Mick, morning All from a dark corner of Somerset. Mr C says it’s not frosty, I’ve not looked yet.

Day at home yesterday filled with routine tasks and two long phone calls. Our son worried about his daughters and our goddaughter frantic about her Mum, her own health and that of her husband. Can’t help improve either situation but can listen. Good advice to ask your surgery nurse to dress your ear mick, hope it heals soon.

Off out for breakfast this morning and a wander wherever the impulse takes us. I’m so sorry so many have worries about family, my good wishes to all and everyone struggling with life. Hope Thursday is kind to us all.

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it is still dark and very frosty ?
I have been sleeping so well lately i actually set my alarm today to make sure I was up in time to sort the car seats out and do the Guinea Pigs before work. I will pick DGC up from nursery then off to gymnastics then this evening I am going to sort through my mountain of clothes and put some in a donation bag, I can’t find anything in my wardrobe as it is so full so end up wearing the same few outfits all the time!!
Take care everyone and stay safe and upright. My thoughts are with anyone who is struggling today❤️

Good Morning everyone from a cold, dry and still moonlit south coast. It has been a Wolf moon, I read, and it is a thing of beauty.

Sorry that your ear is still giving you problems Mick and I think Urms' idea of trying the surgery nurse is a good one. You don't want to be frightening the horses with a bloody ear do you?

DH is scheduled for a check up phone call from the colo-rectal nurse today so we will see what she has to tell him. The treatment he has had from the hospital staff has been second to none but the same cannot be said from the GP surgery with no follow up whatsoever unless instigated by moi! This despite a 2" thick file of letters copied to them throughout his two years of treatment.

Hope all those with busy days ahead find them successful and that we all have the best day we can. [sunshine}

Good morning from a cold ? and frosty Essex by the sea.
DH has done something to his jaw and couldn't eat his dinner last night, will see how it is today.
We are off on a mercy mission to Chelmsford today, to take two dive watches to be updated, for his daughter and SIL before they go away on Sunday. Hopefully we will get the chance to look round the shops and stop for coffee somewhere. Enjoy Thursday and have the best day you can everyone xx

Good morning from a moonlit E Kent. This “wolf” moon seems to be brighter than usual. Perhaps it’s because it’s so dark.
We went to Lidl yesterday and I bought one of their vegetable boxes. My word, it’s good value! We’ve enough apples for the rest of the month, lovely sprouts, a plethora of baby carrots…. I made a sort of dish finishing off the chicken, with these vegetables and some onion in a tomato-ey bechamel with cheese on top. DH loved it - just as well as there’s enough for tonight. I also made a tarte aux pommes with some of the eating apples.
Got Spanish this morning an£ am giving blood (if they’ll have it) this afternoon.

Keep wel, keep happy. Carpe diem… ????

Good morning Mick and all who follow from a chilly Torbay.

Yesterday started with a last minute plan to meet up with brook2704 and her DH for coffee at a café on Babbacombe Downs where we enjoyed over an hour of interesting chat. It was lovely to meet them before they started the continuation of their walk along the SW Coastal Path.

In the afternoon at Wednesday Club, we were enthralled by a talk about the first murder on a railway train. It provoked the sharing of stories of experiences on corridor free trains from our youth! Later I was a steward for an unusually dark Ayckbourn play which was very well performed by the three ufemale actors. A convivial session in the bar rounded off a busy day.

Thank you for the support regarding DD1 who is about the same today. Her ECG result was normal which is usual in such cases, according to her GP. I hope you can have help with your dressing today, Mick.

A very apt cartoon, Urmstongran! Good luck to Mr. Pantglass2 today and to all who face challenges. ?????

Here’s Matt.

Good morning everyone from Malaga. It’s pitch black as I’m up so early. We don’t have plans for today particularly. Our friends from Bolton fly home tomorrow and we’re meeting them late afternoon for a drink downstairs.

No surprise about your dressing I suppose Mick as you’ll be sleeping on it thereby rubbing it on your pillow. I’d ring your practice nurse this morning see what she says. Another here thinking of all the anxious mums on this thread whose adult children have health concerns. May you all get some good news soon to lighten your load. x

Morning Mick and all to follow - here we are up at sparrowfart in north Wales ??????? ready to trot to Bangor where minor op awaits Mr PG and I’ll have to whizz around TKMaxx while waiting....the things I tolerate, eh ?

Best wishes to DDs and DILs and their mums - Susan56 Chrissielou Ashcombe and anyone else with health worries at the moment ?

Will catch up with your doings later x

Good morning Mick you’re up bright and early today, it’s a pain having a dressing on your ear as they usually fall off, maybe a trip into Boots and ask the Pharmacist for a replacement? Have a good day.
Dark and frosty here in Oxfordshire today, we helped MissOops clean the old house yesterday so today I must sit down and do some sewing, it’s been looking at me for ages. I used to love to sew, but recently I can’t work up any enthusiasm at all, after 50 yrs maybe I’ve just had enough?
Have a good day everyone, thoughts are with all who have worries.
