Good Morning Mick and everyone from a dark and wet south coast .8.2c. Heavy rain in the night woke me up so an even earlier start to the day than usual.

We've been watching the cycling too Mick and enjoying the scenery. It's a good way to travel, via the small screen!

DD assure me that all went well with the move of her stuff into the flat and the new regime of her staying there Monday to Friday begins tomorrow. It will save her driving 400 miles every week so quite a lot of fuel. Her DH and DS will manage quite well at home but they will all miss each other. Reminds me of your regime but in miniature Ash! (Hope your DH is feeling better).

Nothing planned for today apart from the usual pottering and making of meals but I have a stack of 8 library books to dig into so will not be lost for something to do. I am rationing the amount of news I watch as I find it so hard to deal with right now.

Sending kindest regards and thoughts to all who are struggling with health issues or anxiety of any kind. It's hard. sunshine

Good morning from a grey, light E Kent. As we are hurtling towards the equinox, the days are getting lighter -only to be put back with BST reversing it the follow week!
We had another Marydoll type of day yesterday…. I went to the chemist for the new prescription, they didn’t have all the items. I went home and called all the local chemists, they didn’t either. I called the hospice and they gave me the numbers of several a bit further away. Called them; the first one was engaged, the second was on answerphone, the third replied. I asked if they had any morphine patches. Yes, they did, just one box of 4 patches. Perfect, I replied, I only need one box. Hang on to it for dear life, while I get my shoes on and drive over!
They were very kind, though I hadn’t known one needed identification for morphine, I hadn’t locally.
So DH is now set up with is patch, new antiemetic and liquid morphine for the few days it takes for the patch to settle in.
He had the first proper food in about 4 days. The two AC called their dad, which pleased him enormously. Not so the result o& the England/Ireland rugby match.
Today, early church, then see what the day brings. Oh, and our resident retired bishop is visiting this afternoon.
Take care dear friends. Carpe diem. ????
