Good Morning Sunday 20th March 2022

Good morning all from a sunny but very chilly Suffolk Coast.
Easterly wind and it’s bitterly cold.

Boiler has been fixed and fences back up and strengthened. The dangling cables have been replaced and the cottage is warm and toasty ?. Spent most of yesterday cleaning windows and garden furniture. That Sahara sand certainly left it’s mark ?. Today DH will mow the lawns and I will clear the steps that lead down to the beach. I think it’s Alexandria weed. Easy to pull up but it spreads everywhere.

Ive just noticed a big seagull deposit on our freshly cleaned window. ?.

Mick take it easy today. Get to the docs tomorrow. ?

Ash - glad you are improving. ?

GM happy birthday to your GS. Mixed emotions for you today. ?.

Sar - the ballet sounds wonderful. How lovely for you to watch your Gd’s perform. ??‍♀️. Enjoy the rest of your stay with them ?.

Urms - hope your DH feels better this morning. ?. You don’t want your last few days spoiled with poorliness! .

Hoping you all have a gentle day, enjoying what you can. ???

Good morning from Cheshire
That must have been frightening , Mick
Hope you get it sorted out.
GrandMattie you show so much resilience in what are really tough times.
You do indeed seize the day.

Good morning all from sunny Harrogate
Today’s the day ! Yes today my DH has his cataract sorted at a medical centre in Leeds. He’s making his own way there and DD2 will pick him up while I look after DGS.
That must have given you a fright Mick, yes, time to sort your meds out.
I hope things improve for you soon GrandMattie. You’ve got good support so hope DH is feeling better than he was.
The dance show sounds lovely Sar, maybe your DGDs have found their vocation?
Have the best day possible folks

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 1°. I could get used to the blue skies though. It's a beautiful day. Mick I hope you are alright now and can get your meds sorted. Grandmattie I hope you have a better day today. Baubles have a lovely holiday.
Yesterday tested my metal as a grandma and baby whisperer. Dgs2 will not go for a nap easily and not for long! Then his mum and dad missed the train so dgs2 was not happy at bed and breast being delayed and let me know it! His baby hair is coming in a beautiful auburn and boy, does he have a red headed temper! In between howls, he was sunny and cooing at grandma and very smiley. I was glad to get home though.
Today I will have to go to Aldi and finish the washing from yesterday, but that's as much as I will do. Chicken for dinner. Have a good day all.

Good morning all from Edinburgh airport.

Sorry to hear about your mishap Mick, make sure you have it investigated.

I’m waiting for DH whose hand luggage has been picked out for a check, I’ve already been patted down. So busy going through security.

Hope everyone has as good a day as possible. ??

Good morning from a lovely sunny Leamington.
Sorry to hear of your blackout Mick, get yourself to your GP on Monday.
for GM on this poignant day.
The dance show last night was incredible. Both my granddaughters did us proud. The ballet dance my 13 year old DGD was in, there were only 7 dancers, left my daughter and I in tears, it was beautiful. I can see the passion she has for dance in each performance.
A lazy day here after the hecticness (is that a word) of the last few days. I will be watching my team in the quarter finals of the FA Cup at lunchtime. Banished to the bedroom as, apart from DGD2, they are not a football family.
Later this afternoon we are going out for dinner.
Have a lovely Sunday everyone xxx

Good morning from sunshine in S Hants. Oh dear Mick take it slowly today, hopefully soon sorted.
gMattie roller coaster days, my heart is with you ?
Turns own my son does need an op, so back to Salisbury early tomorrow, garden today, football this afternoon.
I hope your DH is feeling better today Urms and pleased you’re improving Ash.
Enjoy today the best you can all ??

Has he taken a test Urmstongran ?
The symptoms sound familiar - or it could be manflu. ??

Here’s Matt.

Good morning everyone from Malaga where it’s light but not sunny. We may have rain later. Nelly in the bar downstairs is making paella for 9pm. We are dining with two lovely neighbours who are over from Bognor Regis. Drinks at theirs first. However this depends how Himself is feeling today. He went to bed at 6pm last night, shivery with muscle aches and general weariness. Not at all like him. He’s not seen a doctor for years. I’ve suggested an MOT when we get home.

A bittersweet day for you grandMattie. Your poor grandson will miss the presence of Philip today. A poignant take on grief Maw so true.

Enjoy Sunday all who can. x

Good Morning everyone from another clear and bright south coast. 4.6c at 6am.

GM we can only take things a day at a time and it seems that is what you are having to do. I hope that your DH's pain is being better managed and that you can get some rest and relief from the constant anxiety. Sending a hug and thinking of you both.

Sorry to hear about your latest health incident Mick and hope you get your meds sorted and your glasses mended. Good idea to keep a spare pair at hand.

Nothing planned here for today but something always seem to turn up. Might even be a visit from DD who is back home after her first week staying at their flat near her job. She will be off again in the morning.

Take care everyone and have the best day you can.

Good morning, all, from a chilly but fine Torbay.

So sorry to hear of your blackout, Mick. I hope you can be seen soon to have your heart checked. A poignant day for your family, grandMattie, as your DGS reaches his milestone birthday. Daytime naps will be good for you and your DH currently.

My DGD (9) has passed her three dancing exams (ballet, tap and modern) with distinction. Yesterday, I received a get well letter from her in which she told me I could text her whenever I liked and she included the times she's available to reply! She’s thoughtful, like her Mum.

No church, sadly, as I’m still isolating for a few more days but beginning to feel better. It’s frustrating to be indoors on these fine days but others on here have heavier crosses to bear. Thinking of those with worries about the health of loved ones. Every blessing. ✝️

Good morning on another gloriously sunny day! ??
So sorry to hear that Mick these blackouts need investigating , I hope it is straightforward and that you don’t have to wait too long for action.
GM - the special days do sometimes sneak up on us and whack us round the head quite unexpectedly. I have often felt that grief is like walking along the sea front when it is all calm but then suddenly a huge wave breaks over your head simply drenching you.
My father’s birthday today - he would have been 109 but died when he was 88. If think 109 is a long time, I have to remind myself I’ve been around for 74 of those years hmm
I might need to borrow GrandMattie’s carpe diem
Wishing you all a pleasant Sunday

Forgot. It’s our darling DGS’s 18th birthday today. Sadly, we won’t be able to join the festivities. Philip was so looking forward to today,

Good morning from daylit E Kent.
Oh, Mick, such bad luck. Glad you’ve got spare glasses. I hope your meds can be easily sorted.
Another rubbish day, although we both managed a nap in the afternoon. Made a little bolognaise sauce for dinner,
Going to early church, the the district nurse is coming to reset the syringe driver. Possible visit from a friend.
Have the best day possible today, especially those with pain and problems. Carpe diem. ??????
