Good Morning Saturday 19th March 2022

Morning all from a coldish West Oxfordshire. I might spend another day in bed. My cold is much better but I have an earache now! Or I might get up and spend the day on the sofa.

Good Morning Mick and everyone from a clear sky and milder (7.0c) south coast. We are promised another lovely day with lots of sunshine. Sounds just the ticket!

We are off to get the click and collect at 7am, return for unpacking and breakfast then DH is out with his bike club on a morning ride. I shall enjoy my Saturday treat of reading the paper and maybe doing a few chores in and amongst. Love Saturdays!

Waiting for news from GM and hoping things have calmed down a bit for her. Such a difficult time for her and Mr GM. . Also for Ashcombe and hoping that she is on the mend from the virus. We must not get complacent about it - it's still circulating.

We tackled the Saharan sand yesterday and cleaned the car, patio table and even the patio doors. It was just bad luck that our window cleaner came the day before the sand arrived! The other windows will have to wait for his next visit.

Take care everyone and have the best day you can.

Good morning from a bright, sunny E Kent.
Nota good day again yesterday - this time, I joined the fray with exhaustion induced labyrinthitis… was very, very busy, + I was exhausted having had little sleep.
I’m ready to go, thankfully, to see what life throws at us today.
Hope those smith celebrations enjoy them, those who are I’ll or sad, have a gentle day.
Carpe diem ?????

Good morning, all, from a very windy but fine Torbay.

Poor you, grandMattie, suffering from labyrinthitis on top of everything else. Do you find Sudafed helpful? It was recommended by my GP last year when I first had that condition. I hope you’ve had a restful night, also your DH.

Finally, I’ve managed a whole night's sleep in bed, thanks to a combination of an antihistamine, cough medicine, paracetamol and tiredness! Thank you, everyone, for your kind comments in recent days. It does help when one is feeling unwell.

Happy weekend, everyone! ??????

Good morning from ? ? N Bucks. What a glorious morning!
As we feared, GS’s birthday (3) picnic in Lloyd Park has had to be postponed as his Daddy is still testing positive (Day 9) although feeling a lot better. Fortunately the storyteller D had booked can do next Saturday so fingers crossed!
Poor little boy has not had a birthday party yet -born on March 17 2019- but fortunately is too young to realise and not too much was made of today’s do in advance.
Poor you GM I think your body is protesting - listen to it! Easy to say, I know and harder to do but you cannot be of much good to your DH if you crack up yourself.
My neighbours (and probably best friend) left at sparrow fart for 4 weeks in their house in the Limousin - I will miss them and don’t envy them the drive but at least they were not planning to use the ferry!
I hope today is kind to you all - a silver lining to not going to London is that I can watch wall to wall rugby. Allez les blancs/bleus/rouges/verts!

Good morning all ?.

GM we are all with you in spirit. ?. Hope the labrynthitis eases. You can do without that! ?. Keep on , keeping on! ?.

Our window cleaner turned up the day after the Sahara dust fell. ‘I know you’re not due yet but would you like me to do your windows now’. What a lovely chap! Dh cleaned the car so we’re all shiny again.

We’re off (fairly) early up to Suffolk to see how our seaside abode is faring. We left in such a rush, leaving fences down, cables dangling, no power and boiler not working. After storm Eunice ! A new one is needed! Agh!

Ash I do hope you’re feeling better?.

Ladyleftfielder I hope your painful ear eases! ?.

Spring is really showing it’s lovely face now, and the sun will be shining, so I’m hoping we all have a ‘lovely’ day ???

It is the most beautiful morning in Oxfordshire, sunshine forecast all day. We are going out walking for the day with our dog, we will take food and coffee and walk the Ridgeway. Walking is my passion, so to do it on such a lovely day is perfect.
I'm thinking of those who have so much to cope with, those with poorly DDs like me, and those feeling ill with covid, may you all find comfort today.

Good morning all from a chilly Glasgow, but the sun is shining!

I concur with Maw, we think we can keep going, but eventually our body protests and we have no control over things, as I know to my cost. You must be kind to yourself.

Have a good day folks, mine will be a gentle one.

Morning all! Heart goes out to all those with difficulties. Don't want to single them out in case I miss anyone. I have son1 here on a short visit. Wonderful and everything I hoped and imagined it would be. Added bonus is today is his birthday (53). His choice of celebratory is that we go to a football match together!! I've agreed. How's that for maternal dedication?!! A lovely lunch beforehand will soften the blow and, the weather is decidedly beautiful, thank goodness. Hope you all find your high point. Chers!!

Morning Mick, morning All. A sunny day ahead for our corner of Somerset

Yesterday was frustrating, nothing went quite the way I had hoped. Not sure how today will shape up, a walk with luck although may stay away from the beach, too many people. A potter in the garden could reduce built up stress.

Thinking of all poorly or worried people, hope Saturday is gentle with us all.

Good morning all from a bright North Leicestershire.

Thank you all for your good wishes for DD yesterday. Her appointment went well. She has hormonal breast cancer in a milk duct. It is fast growing but has not spread. She is booked for a mastectomy in mid April followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. A long, hard road ahead for DD and all who love her but not as bad as we had feared.

Oh, and DH has covid and is coughing for England.

Sending love send healing thoughts to everyone. And thank you to everyone again.

Good morning Mick, morning all from gloriously sunny South Lanarkshire.

Mattie, I hope you have a better day.

I’m hoping the good weather brings lots of customers to our charity shop today. Saturdays can be very hit or miss.

Have the best day you can. ??

Here’s Matt.

Good morning everyone from Malaga where it’s sunny ? but after today the forecast is pretty dire for a good few days. We fly home next Wednesday lunchtime so the plan is to be out and abouting today while we can - after today we may need a rowing boat by the looks of things.

Enjoy Saturday all who can. x

Good morning all from sunny Harrogate
GrandMattie please take care of yourself. Labyrinthitis it not pleasant, hope you’ve got medication from the doc for it. I used to have stemetil ? Hope your DH is feeling better now.
Chrissielou hope your daughter’s treatment is helping her, and the others grans whose DDs are undergoing treatment.
Yesterday managed a trip to town got bits and pieces from Asda as well as other shops. Today washing, housework and a friend popping round this pm
Have the best day possible folks

Good morning from the NE where it is sunny again ?
Family are visiting this afternoon after they have done a seaside walk.
Yesterday was a lazy day, could not motivate myself to get moving, so watched some TV. I had been unable to access iplayer or Netflix the day before.
Enjoy the weekend those who are out and about.

Good morning from a bright and sunny Leamington Spa.
DGD2 is playing in a football match the other side of Birmingham this morning.
Today is the day of the dance show for DGD1 and DGD3. Two shows today and I am going to the evening one.
DD1 has been a chaperone for the younger girls all week and is shattered, tomorrow we can all relax.
Take things easy today GM .
Enjoy Saturday whatever you are doing xx

Ashcombe hopefully you will feel a bit better each day.

Mawthemerrier it’s so sad for the little ones, they have missed so much.

Not sure what today will bring?
keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Sar53 I hope the dance shows go well, and that your other DGD wins her football match .

Good Morning Mick and everyone from a beautiful bright Hull i think it’s wall to wall ? for us all.
Urms Matt gave me a giggle today also Maw I’ve never heard sparrows fart and that also made me laugh.
grandMattie?
Kitty and Chrissie I imagined myself in your position if it was my DD going through the same as your DDs and my heart goes out to you both.

Yesterday had a lovely meet up with Grandmadinosaur and had a good catch up and hope to do it again very soon.
Today we are going over to a lovely park in the east of Hull with DS, DGS and DGD1 we’ll feed the ducks and play in the park and take their scooter and balance bike. We have a big bag of freeze dried mealworms for the ducks although our autistic grandson with have a handful to eat lol just because he can. Yuk!! He’s a joy x
Take care everyone enjoy the sunshine and hope Saturday brings moments of joy?

Good morning from sunny Colchester.
Easing myself back after Covid. I've still got a dry cough and itchy ears. I've not tried anything strenuous yet but DH has been to the gym and out on walks and has to sleep as soon as he gets home. He works assessing the Duke of Edinburgh award and it is now expedition season. Luckily he is usually driving the minibus.
I have some of yesterday's laundry to iron, most doesn't need it and a new load to go on the line. After breakfast I'll pop into town for a few bits and then potter for the rest of the day. Steak and chips for tea as DS is home.
Love to all ?? x

Good morning from Cheshire.
A beautiful , sunny morning here.
Pleased that you've had some positive news about your DD KittyLester. I've been on the journey too with my daughter. My very best wishes.

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny Northampton, an azure blue sky overhead.

I am taking myself off to a.retail park on the other side of the county today. It involves a longish bus ride all round the country lanes, (over an hour), but I shall sit on the top deck and enjoy the lovely countryside. I have been wary of long bus journeys since Covid, but have decided I need to bite the bullet. I have vouchers to spend, so hoping to come back with one or two purchases - as I did yesterday - two tops and summer trousers from Sainsbury's!

Hoping those feeling poorly or with worries feel better soon. Enjoy the lovely sunshine.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 2°. Beautiful blue skies above. Lots of worries on the thread today. ? For anyone who can use them.
Yesterday's lunch ended at teatime! We blethered for Scotland. Today I'm babysitting dgs2 for some hours. Dgs1 is going to his other grandparents for a sleepover with his cousins and will be very excited. I get the easier option of a four month old. His mum and dad are heading to Glasgow for a few hours. I am looking forward to it. I'll probably leave the usual housework to tomorrow. Have a good day all.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x
