Good Morning Friday 11th March 2022

Good morning everyone from a grey and breezy south coast.

I’m so sorry to hear your sad news, grandMattie

Good morning all from the Black country, nice and sunny so the towels are in the wash.
DS bringing the little one over this morning for a visit. The charity he works for are making hygiene packages up for Ukraine so have asked for the list and I'll make some up, wish there was more I could do.
I'm so sorry to hear your news GM
Have the best day you can everyone and may you all find some ?.

Good morning from a dry but overcast NE.
I am so sorry to hear your news grandMattie, may God give you the strength to help you cope.
SIL was released from hospital yesterday evening and went straight to bed to catch up on some sleep. Apparently his tummy looks as if he has been in a fight with the office stapler.
I think I will make some carrot and coriander soup today, was going to do it yesterday but got distracted watching a TV series.
My neighbour came for a chat last night after she put my bin out, she lost her DH in 2019 and knows exactly how I feel.
Lovely to hear about new baby, congratulations.
Thoughts are with ginster.

GrandMattie
I am so very sorry ?

?for you GM. I'll try to waffle on because you requested it but your circumstances make it so hard and you are so admirably stoic. Shamefully, I'm still in bed but immediately after this I will hit the shower (not too hard!) in readiness for a lovely lunch in the big city. I say lovely but that's really the company. Lunch will be magnifique! Pretty grey and uninviting up here in the North but that won't deter me. Will fit in a quickie visit to my neighbour whose wife died last month. I can see he's struggling and I feel short and sweet (but regular) is enough for him right now. We'll do better over the garden wall once the weather picks up. Right, I'm off. Keep recognising the blessings everyone. ?

Morning Mick and all

grandMattie your post brought a tear to my eye this morning I am sending you an enormous virtual (((hug))), whilst you will need your strength both physically and mentally to care for your dear husband in the coming months, please please find time to let others care of you.

It sure what I shall do today, might go and have a potter round the shops, not sure what ones though?

Gingster (((hugs))) for you also, you have a lot to contend with at the moment, I hope your DD’s infusion goes as planned.

Sar53 have a restful day, I hope your headache subsides.

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️??

Good morning all from the S Welsh coast.
GrandMattie I'm so very sorry to hear your news.
I will be thinking of you and your DD today Gingster.

Good morning from Shropshire.

GrandMattie, I am so sorry to hear your sad news.You,your DH and your family are in our thoughts and prayers?

Thinking also of Gingster and family as her daughter starts her immunotherapy today?

Another quiet day here as the little family although feeling fine are still testing positive for Covid so no childcare.The weather has been dry but cold this week but has meant that lots of work has been done outside and the garden is looking lovely.

grandMattie I am so so sorry to hear your very upsetting news. I have no words, but my love and thoughts are with you and your DH

ladyleftfieldlover The Mad Woman's Ball was on Netflix. It was mesmerising. I couldn't stop watching it.

Dear grandMattie, thank you for sharing your very sad news with us. I don’t have any words which could be of any use but please know that you, your husband and your family will be in my prayers from this day forward.

Good morning all and it’s fine here in Essex.

GrandMattie ?. What a strong lady you are. Life Eh! ?❤️

Thank you all so much for your kind messages yesterday. Fingers crossed DD will have her first infusion today. ?

Little DGD has her school disco this afternoon 5 til 6. I will pick her up from school, bring her home and get her ready for the ‘big do’. She will stay here the night as her mums treatment doesn’t start until 4 o’clock and they will both be shattered.

Sar I hope your headache subsides. ?.

Hoping you all have a gentle day. ???

??GM I’m so sorry to hear your news.
Morning all from a damp Oxfordshire. I’ve had a busy week so apart from some WI admin I think I will spend much of the day reading. I am finishing the Mad Women’s Ball, which is translated from French and is thought provoking.

Oops premature message out!!
Good morning all from bright Harrogate
GrandMattie you’ve had such a bad year, but you have survived! I’m so Sorry about your DH. I hope his pain is now controlled.
Today, I have nothing planned, which means it time I do some cleaning and tidying especially while DH Is at the dentist. I’ll have to find out when my dentist appointment is - Hope I haven’t missed it!
Good to see you Mick when you are at the Cairn- it’s fairly close to where I live as you know.
Have the best day you can folks

Good Morning Michael and everyone, I woke up thinking that what should have been a day of celebration for us will be spoilt because of my health at the moment and then read grandMattie’s devastating news and felt very selfish indeed.

My heart goes out to you both and I hope that our prayers and love will give both strength.

grandMattie

Good morning I too have no words GrandMattie. This is indeed a cruel blow for you and your DH. I am sending you much love and hugs.
My thoughts too are with gingster and her daughter and hope the immunotherapy goes ahead today.

Good morning from a sunny Palma.

GM I am so very sorry to hear your news it has stunned me as I’m sure you too. You’re in my thoughts. ?

We went down to Palma Nova yesterday for another lovely stroll. The hotels are all being preened ready for the new season. It was fairly busy in the morning. We went in for lunch somewhere and when we came out it was like a ghost town. Siesta time?
We came back by bus and they seem to have altered the routes. It doesn’t run along the Paseo Maritimo anymore but goes right into the heart of the city. Good job we know the area to find our way back to the hotel.
Our meal in the restaurant was amazing we are thinking of going again on Saturday.

This morning another stroll but this will be to a shoe shop I found. It’s called Picolino. Beautiful comfy looking shoes. Not cheap but what the heck I need comfy shoes! Problem is I saw 5 pairs I liked so to get it down to maybe 2 .
This afternoon I’m going for a massage in the spa.
Brook enjoy your time here. We home on Monday. Shame we will cross as we could have met up. Saying that we are thinking of coming back after Easter.

Take care everyone.

Good morning all from a dreich Polmont. Grandmattie I'm so sorry to hear your news. You are very stoic but this is such a blow after a horrible year for you. I am thinking of you.
Yesterday my aunt popped in for a chat. It was so nice to see her. Dd got a negative result so another one today will free her from the house. She can't wait. I have a couple of pastels I want to start : a boat in a harbour scene and a dinosaur one for dgs1. Have the best day you can.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s dry, bright but still windy
So very sorry to hear such sad news GM my heart goes out to you and your DH ? . Thinking of you both and everyone else facing worries and struggles, take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good morning Mick and everyone from a dry bright Hull but I think we have showers forecast later. grandMattie my heart goes out to you and DH for what you both are going through. I read and re-read your post. ??

Thankyou again for all the messages yesterday. We went over to sit with new GD while her mummy and Daddy went for a nap she’s so beautiful and 3 year old big sister is so happy to be able to help mummy change her nappies etc. We’ll go back over today and do the same. Then picking DGS up from school for a couple of hours. Really need to do an hour in the gym this morning.
Have a lovely day and hope Friday brings moments of joy?

Very sad news GrandMattie
Life is so difficult at times and I hope your strength and business keeps you going . Take care if yourself too.

Morning Mick, morning All from a dry, breezy corner of Somerset.

Our friends arrived home safely yesterday, Mr C’s ear procedure means he can hear a little more, good news from his recent blood tests. There was little activity as we were and still are a little weary. Today some tidying and we’ll go out for lunch taking our friend with us, there is another month at least to go before she will be independent again.

I wish I had words to express what I feel grandmattie, stark news for you both yesterday. . A difficult time for you too gingster, my thoughts have been with you and your daughter.

Your news made me smile yesterday shazza, a joyous time ahead. Good to have trips to look forward to mick.

I’ll undoubtedly have missed much news while writing this. Good wishes to everyone and a hope Friday is gentle with us all.
