Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark but its dry here in brackley at present .
My weekend break in York , the hotel was by the river ,and I had ground floor room ,and looked out onto the river, and watched the swell recede over 2 days to normal level .
I have put on weight as per the meals etc, but it was also cold s well , finding the chill effected my own heart condition.
I went to Harrogate on the coach on Saturday , with 4 hours there , the plan was to meet Gwen but that did not happen as I felt more time would be better ,anyway I have a holiday booked in August nearer to Harrogate.
To be honest I wish this trip had been later towards Easter with milder weather .
Take Care,
Mick

Sorry to hear that Blossoming I hope the pharmacy goods go some way to helping ?

henetha Tue 01-Mar-22 11:20:07

Good morning from very damp south Devon.
I mentioned on here a little while ago that my brother in law was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I had so many kind messages of support from lots of lovely people on here.
He died yesterday. It was what we call a 'happy release' for him as he was very far advanced. But it's devastating for my sister and their son.
Now the question is, whether I go to the funeral or not.
It's in Scotland. It's under debate. I want to go, of course, but it's a difficult journey, especially at my age.

Blossoming Tue 01-Mar-22 11:00:13

Good morning Mick and everybody. It’s a beautiful sunny day in my corner of Lancashire this morning, currently 5°C

No plans for today, I have had 2 sleepless nights thanks to my hiatal hernia misbehaving and I’m feeling thoroughly miserable. I’m hoping to get outside for a walk if my balance permits.

Mr. B has been to the pharmacy for something to help me.

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. ?

Good Morning to you all from N.,Cambs., It's looking dryer & brighter now after a wet night.
Sorry I missed your Wedding Anniversary Gwenisgreat, belated Congratulations.

cornergran, congratulations to you today.

Lovely flowers, thank you, M.
Also Susan, super photo,
Both for St.,David's Day, Enjoy, all you with Welsh connections.

I hope that March is kind to us all.

I'm looking forward to pancakes today.!

flowers for you all.

Meant to say, hope your trip to Devon goes smoothly, Lins and that being together at the burial of your cousin’s ashes makes up in some way for not being able to attend the funeral. Glad to hear your GD is now ‘official’ ?

Scentia, sympathy for your DH - it must take a while to process such a shock. Hope he ‘behaves’ today!

Grandmattie I hope Iris is in less pain very soon - it seems so unfair when children have to suffer. I love the bag ?

Litterpicker Tue 01-Mar-22 10:12:13

Good morning from a grey West Sussex where rain is expected later.

I have a (for me) ridiculously busy day. Helping with cafe at church for carers, people living with dementia and anyone else who needs company. Followed by pancake lunch at same location. Then another social ‘tea & chat’ on Zoom for those still cautious about mixing. DD1 has a work related visit to a dementia centre near us and is staying overnight with us to save an early start the following morning. I have a volunteering job to do which I hope will be quick. Then I must tidy up the tip that is our house before DD arrives and also for book group which I am hosting tomorrow (no of course I haven’t finished the book yet ?). I lead a quiet life normally!

Sorry the cold weather spoilt your trip Mick.

Marydoll do take care of yourself and well done MrMd.

Happy St David’s Day to all Welsh GMers ???????

Good morning Mick and all from Sunnyside, northwest coast.
Blue skies and sun??.
My dicky tummy is calming down and today I will plant that rose, the rain stopped me yesterday. Then to sing at music club so will have a little warm up this morning.
My friend recovering from detached retina op, banged his had badly last night and went to A&E, had stitches. He’s worried it might have affected the op. Poor man, he’s having quite a time of it.
I sorted out a pile of clothes in my bedroom yesterday, they had built up on a large wicker peacock style chair, I hardly knew what was at the bottom! Put a bit into the jumble bag, but need to be more ruthless.
Sorry you felt chilly on your trip Mick, however I hope the change has been good.
Thoughts to Iris and anyone with worries.
