Good Morning Monday 14th March 2022

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning all from a sunny Polmont. 7° and blue skies at the moment. Grandmattie ? Ashcombe I've never yet been pinged. I wonder if people aren't registering covid as before. Stilllearning I hope your dgd isn't too bad. My friend is a teacher and is going back to work today, having had a nasty dose of covid. She doesn't want to let her Higher pupils down.
Yesterday I made a lime and coconut cake and peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies. Dd messaged me to visit and I took half of the goodies with me. Dgs1 loved the very tough sketch of a dimetredon but wants a green and blue tyrannosaurus Rex so I'll have to practise that now!
Today will be a pottering about day. I'm making a pizza for tea. Have a good day all.

Good morning all from a very bright North Leicestershire.

I had a dreadful night's sleep last night and for a few nights before. DD1 was diagnosed with breast cancer on Tuesday and I know that there are few other people on the GM thread with the same experience. It's very scary and worrying.

We had DD2 and Co here for the weekend and DD3 and Co dropped by for a catch up. Youngest granddaughter helped me make a cake for her cousin's birthday.

It was a bit flat but, as Lottie said, 'he will love it because I made it with love!'

Sending love and best wishes to all who need it!

Please could someone spare some sunshine? It’s absolutely tipping it down over here in Malaga! Good morning everyone. I’m sat up in bed with a mug of Yorkshire Gold and not in any hurry to get out from under this duvet!

Fine weather for ducks I suppose. You’d need webbed feet to venture out in this.

Pleasant journey home Grandmadinosaur. Bet Pantglas has pinched all the sun - she’s over in Sharm-el-Sheikh isn’t she?

Ah well, I have my book ‘The Radium Girls’ (it’s good but a true story so it’s unsettling), SKY tv (oh I just cannot). I’ll have to chat with Himself. I might ask him to teach me a card game. I’m so rubbish he needs the patience of the proverbial though. Probably just eat tonight in Pedro’s - it’s just on the corner and Nelly (Argentinian) is a great cook. We might meet up with our friends from Bolton in there.

Thinking of all on here going through tough times and coping with illnesses plus those dodging Covid or recovering from it. x

Morning Mick, morning All from a bright, chilly corner of Somerset.

Admin ahead for me, not sure about Mr C, may dismantle a broken beyond repair garden seat ready to remove.

for grandmattie, gingster, kitty and all with worries this morning. Apologies, I know I will have missed some folk.

Hope Monday is gentle with us all.

Good morning from a glorious Durham. Some sad, worrying posts today - my sincere best wishes to all.
Thanks Shazza - saw family over the weekend and fizzy tea this afternoon with a friend. I stopped counting last year when birthdays began with a 7!

Good morning Mick and all from sunny Carlisle.
Yesterdays dreary wetness had gone by mid-morning so I was tempted out into the garden and found I was good for a bit of work. I didn't want to push my luck and found a new book to read in the afternoon.
I woke up this morning after over 7 hours unbroken sleep. I don't know when that last happened-I usually have to wake at least once to put drops in my dry eyes. So I'm geared up for my usual Monday morning of laundry and housework. And hopefully planting things in the garden this afternoon.

I was sorry to read your post this morning, grandMattie, I wish you better times today. And gingster, kitty and all of you with problems, there seem to be a lot of them about at the moment.

Good morning from a sunny NE.
Use have been cold during the night as the heating came on at 4am, couldn't get back to sleep so lay and read.
I have a painful hip this morning, I swept up some leaves in the garden yesterday.
No visitors and no phone calls so caught up on some recorded TV, four episodes back to back, a real luxury.
Happy Birthday Georgesgran ? ? ?

Good morning from a bright and sunny Essex by the sea.

I'm sorry to hear your news Kitty. So many of us on here have had or have daughters going through treatment for cancer. I send my very best wishes to you all. I know what a dreadful worry it is .

I am getting ready for my week at DD1's leaving early on Wednesday morning. I'm so looking forward to seeing them all. The last time was on Boxing Day.

Have the best Monday you can and best wishes to all xxx

Good morning all from a sunny W Kent. Woke to be greeted by news DD2 has covid so that is two out of four in her house, who next?
Pile of ironing looking at me but must get a walk in at some point.
to all of you having a troubling day.

Posted with out reading the thread first.
Sorry to hear your worrying news kitty, my best wishes for your DD's treatment and rapid recovery.

Belated Birthday wishes Georgesgran ?

Sad news from you Kitty thinking of you and the other Grans going through the same with family members. ?

Oops sorry belated Birthday wishes to you too * Maw* ??

Best wishes for your DiL, kitty. Many hugs… x

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s a lovely sunny start to the day and not too cold.
Sorry to hear that worrying news Kitty sending ❤️ to you and your DD
I’m posting late today as we had the DGC sleeping over last night so it’s been a bit hectic with getting them up, washed and dressed in time for school etc as they’re such slow coaches in the morning. Anyhow they’re both safely delivered to school and I’m back home now with my tea and toast.
Safe journey home grandmadinosaur I’m counting the days until we go!
Hoping all those with covid recover soon, take care all whatever the day brings ?

Morning all from a bright and blue West Oxfordshire. Our gardener is popping round this morning to sort out the back garden. My neighbour has a craft Monday once a month so I will be going to that after lunch. I will be mainly knitting. It is OHs turn to cook tonight so I think we’ll be having a Chinese.

Good Morning from sunny Harrogate
I have a new favourite word - Scurryfunge! - it's what you do when expecting guests and have a quick tidy up, I love it!!
GrandMattie Chances if you do get Covid, Ashcombe it will be very mild, so don't worry. Have a safe journey home Grandmadinasaur.
Kittylester Happy Birthday Georgesgran enjoy your fizz.
Just had a telephone call from my GP, it's the first re-assurance I've had since being told I have heart failure, that it's only mild and it's still fairly solid! She's getting me hospital appointments that should improve my breathing! Phew!!
This am I HAVE AN EMPTY!! DH is helping to plant a hedge at DGDs school.
Have the best day possible folks!

Good morning Mick, Annie and all.
Grandmattie, sending love and a gentle hug to help you through the day.
Also to the GN's whose daughters are on brave journeys with their health diagnoses. There is nothing like a mum when you are feeling down. Just sad that my own is not here. But, my DD has been a rock.
She visited yesterday, on the way back from a weekend away. So we fed them, as you do.
She had brought a KS sheet to try on our bed, as our extra deep DB size, was so difficult to get on.
All was fine and we left it on the bed. DH , this morning says, have you changed the sheet? He didn't notice when he got into bed last night, only when he made it this morning!
Have a good day one and all.

Goo£ morning all, Ashcombe. I have had two messages (different numbers) with the same message as you. As I rarely ,never, see anyone I thought they sounded suspicious.My son said they are scams now there is a charge for test kits and usually follow with instructions for sending for some.
Best wishes all .

A beautiful cold bright sunny morning in Oxfordshire. DD1 has her scan today to establish the situation following the 8 week drug trial, results on Thursday via video call with consultant, which thankfully i can join. Traditional chemo starts next Monday. Her children are wonderful and despite being young, give her such hope.
A new working week, but thankfully from home for the coming months.
How lovely to see the sunshine, it just needs to warm up a bit!

Good Morning from a bright, sunny N.,Cambs.,

Birthday greetings to Georgesgran,

Thinking of you grandMattie,
Kittylester, sorry that you have upsetting news of your daughter.
Also, I continue to think of your DD, Gingster.

Take care, for you all

Good morning Mick and everybody. Sunshime in my corner of Lancashire this morning, currently 9°C.

I have a Healthier You zoom meeting today. I still haven’t finished sorting the boxes of craft stuff so will carry on with that. If the weather holds I will go for a walk.

Thinking of you Grandmattie.

Safe journey Grandmadinosaur, I always used to enjoy my travels but it feels so good to get home.

Do try not to do too much Marydoll, the eBay queen’s invitation sounds most tempting though!

Happy Birthday Georgesgran

For all with health worries, their own or family, I hope there is better news soon.

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. ?

Chrissielou, sorry I didn't include you & your DD in my thoughts.

I often forget to mention all that I should, please know that I read your posts, & think of all you virtual friends.

Chrissie and Kitty wishing your DDs and you both all my best wishes for the worrying times ahead for you all and for the best outcomes in the future. I have a DD and can’t possibly imagine the stress you are feeling. You have great support on this thread as you know. ??
