Good Morning Wednesday 2nd February 2022

Delighted about your news Lauranorderr such an relief for you all.

Good morning from a sunny W Kent. So sorry to hear your news TopsyIrene we miss our cats so much. Wonderful news Lauranorder
Off for coffee with friend seem to be doing a lot of this lately, such a nice change just making the most of it.
Best wishes to all.

Wonderful news Lauranorderr.

Good morning all from a mild and much calmer day in Glasgow.

The house alarm is on the blink so waiting for an engineer arriving at 9.30.

So sorry to hear your sad news TopsyIrene. I know only too well the heartache of losing a beloved pet. My near neighbour has two adorable Border Terriers whom I enjoy making a fuss over. ?
As Marydoll says, we must indeed be near neighbours. ?

We visited a fairly new shop in our area selling multi award winning Stornaway black pudding, (marag dhubh) We bought a few to share with family as it is not easy to source.
We also decided to have a coffee in a nearby Costa. We haven’t been to restaurants or cafes for such a long time and it was so nice to do so again. The coffee was dire though!

BP monitor removed yesterday. Readings quite concerning with the highest still in the low 190’s. Practice nurse will phone tomorrow morning with whatever decision is made by GP.
I shouldn’t complain as I know many are dealing with much more worrying health issues than mine.

Have a good day everyone. ?

Great news! So happy for you all Laura

The best news Laura ???

Great news Lauranorderr!!!

Good Morning from dry and breezy Harrogate. Yesterday managed a trip to Lidl in Knaresborough. I've never seen those vegetable boxes Marydoll - maybe it's a Glasgow speciality?
Doc has sent over some knockout pills, gratefully received. I am feeling a bit more human today, and intend to take stuff to the tip, then go for a trip into town.
topsyIrene sorry to hear about your loss - animals are part of the family. When DD lost her 1st dog, she had him cremated, then carried his ashes in an envelope which she took everywhere with her. She would sprinkle his ashes on his favourite walks. He was a lovely dog, we all adored him. We have her 2nd dog, she is getting to that age, too.
Glad you enjoyed your trip to Knaresborough Serendipity
When is the wedding Marydoll? We'll be watching for a photo on here!
Oh Fanny I'm so glad your treatment is improving your mobility.
Good to hear your dear sis is improving Gagagran.

Have the best day possible folks.

I bet you are all walking on air this morning LauraNorder! Such WONDERFUL news for everyone in your family. x

Good morning from Durham. A bit of blue sky, dry and only breezy.
The expected call about my Storm Malik roof damage didn’t happen on Monday, then yesterday I got a text for me to ring a different agency. Did that and I’m supposedly down to be contacted this morning. We shall see!!! Means I’m tied to the house, but so be it.
Great news Laura
?Topsy
Have a good day.

What happy news, LauraNorder! It’s a privilege to share your joy. ?????

dragonfly, did you manage to find some shoes?

Good morning from a dry and mild NE, it is 9 degrees.
Had smart meter fitted yesterday, didn't take too long but lots of things had to be reset after the electricity was turned off.
SIL coming this morning to take me shopping and I have an eye test booked for this afternoon. Lady rang me yesterday and said they only allow one in at a time and I should knock on the door to be admitted at my appointment time, sounds like a visit to a Speakeasy.
Sorry to hear your sad news TopsyIrene, a virtual hug for you.
Have a good day all those out and about.

I am thrilled for you all, have been thinking about you lots x

Wonderful news Laura I can feel the joy in your post

Brilliant news Laura ?

Wonderful news Laura!

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny Northampton, looks very windy as well.

Had a good health walk yesterday afternoon, about 12 of us turned out to enjoy the lovely weather and company. A.good long chat was enjoyed afterwards over drinks at a cafe.

Finished my book club read when I got back, after doing some repairs to my coat as I had noticed that the fur trim had come away from the hood.

Tidying up to do this morning then after lunch a visit to our cafe/club, which is meeting for the first time since before Christmas. Shall take my knitting and enjoy a chat along with coffee and cake. We have all been asked to wear masks. Shall walk home from that as I need to call in at the paper shop and pay my bill.

Now to pop back and read everyone's doings. Have a good day, all.

Such wonderful news Laura I’m so very pleased for you and your brave DIL, wishing her all the very best ❤️

You have no idea ladies, how much your kind thoughts help me. Thank you.

Good morning from beautiful sunny Anglesey.
We are surrounded by a flamboyance of wonderful pink flamingos today as my gorgeous, brave daughter-in-law is now free of cancer.
She was diagnosed with breast cancer last summer and has gone through horrid chemo, dark days of facing an uncertain future, a lumpectomy, lymph node removal, subsequent drain and the battle of trying to keep some form of normality for their little family through it all. A journey I wouldn’t wish on any of you. A journey many of you have been through.
Yesterday afternoon she was given that joyful and wonderful news. cancerfree.
We are all so happy.
I just wanted to share our flamboyance of flamingos, to say thank you to so many of you who have quietly advised, supported and comforted us on this journey and I want to give hope more than anything to Chrissielou and others going through the same difficult time.
Not just this lovely supportive thread but Gransnetters across the forum have been wonderful and I thank you all.
?????????

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Morning from soggy S Lanarkshire. Two good pictures to start the day I enjoyed the flamingoes Ash, what a thoughtful granddaughter. Matt is on the button again today Urmston

I’m up and ready to head to the audiologist to have moulds fitted instead of my smaller hearing aids. She assures me that it will optimise my hearing so I am really pleased after several years of thinking (and being told) that things couldn’t be improved. Things have already improved greatly since I was lucky enough to find this young woman and I am very grateful.

Sorry for your loss of your little dog TopsyIrene.?

Must go now, parking at our local hospital is a nightmare and I get so agitated! Would rather be early and wait outside.

Best wishes to everyone for a decent day???

Good morning Mick and everyone from dark rainy Carlisle. I've got to go out in it very shortly. Now that Christmas is behind us and DS2 is winging his way back to Australia, there is no chance of spoiling things by catching covid, therefore I am risking a long overdue visit to the hairdresser. I am sick of my hair, it's at that annoying in between stage, neither tidily short nor long enough to tie back.
I shall pop back later to catch up with all the news. Have a good morning meanwhile!

Good morning Mick, morning all from damp South Lanarkshire.

Fanny, what a huge relief from your pain, I’m happy for you.

I’m so sorry TopsyIrene, the death of a much loved pet is hard to bear.

A day off today with no plans so I’ll enjoy pottering about. I must have look in the garden to see if we have any snowdrops yet Gagagran, they are such a hopeful reminder that spring is on the way

Have the best day possible. Love the flamboyance Ash. ?????
