Good Morning Monday 21st March 2022

Good morning from a gorgeous, nacreous skied E Kent. Hard frost this morning, possibly one of the hardest this winter - even though today is the 2nd day of spring!
Had a bad night as DH was taken to his by ambulance last night (not blue lighted) with dehydration and possible impacted bowel. I have been trying unsuccessfully to get news of him this morning. Must be ok, if I’ve not been summoned! ?
Got the new crowns on teeth to be put in today. Hope I’m not needed at hospital at the same time. Am rather tired.
Take care, hope today is kind to those in trouble, pain or anxiety, that the day is happy for the rest of you. Carpe diem. ??????❤️

Good morning all from the Black country.
DH has bloods taken today 8am appt so early start, we shall go for breakfast afterwards.
GM so sorry to hear your news ? he his sorted quickly and back home with you, and good luck with your new crowns.
Enjoy your day everyone and may you all find some ?.

Good morning, Mick and everyone. When you’re out, see if you can buy Arnica cream for your black eye - it reduces bruising.

Oh, grandMattie, I’m so sorry to hear about your DH but at least, his problem should be eased whilst he’s in hospital and you are relieved of the responsibility of his care while he’s there. I hope your dental work is comfortable. Thinking of you both.

My LFT is still positive so more days at home are indicated although government guidance seems to suggest I may exercise outside if I avoid others so I might try a walk in the park once everyone is at work or school.

I hope you all have as good a week as possible with safe journeys and relief from pain and worries. ??????

Good morning from Leamington where there has been frost overnight.
GM so sorry to hear your news. I hope things improve today.
I heard last night that my 4 year old DGD has tested positive and has been quite poorly over the weekend.
I'm going home today, one day earlier than planned as I'm not feeling great and cannot stay here forever. I'll wear a mask all the way. It's a 4 hour journey so I will be really glad to get home. DH is away til next weekend so I will have to fend for myself.
Take care everyone and have the best Monday you can xx

Good Morning everyone from Severnside. A dry one with a pink glow.

What a lovely weekend weather wise. I did garden work and also reading and eating outside.

Today is letter writing and a home manicure and pedicure. Later I will chat with Beechnutella and my brother will probably drop by.

Lots of worries for some of you so my best wishes that the day will be as kind as it can be for you all ???

Good morning all - ??? here but it sounds like a worrying Monday morning for some, especially GrandMattie - sending a huge virtual hug, I wish I could be nearer and take some of this burden off you.
Wishing you healing too Mick and hopes that they get to the bottom of this . AF can be lived with but it can also make life hard, especially when you are on your own..
Wishing everybody a pleasant day with relief from their worries .

grandMattie this is really awful for you both. Fingers crossed things will improve today.

No Matt, it’s Monday.

Good morning everyone from Malaga where it’s getting light. We had a major storm here last night. Plenty of thunder, lightning and torrential rain for hours.

We went to meet friends for paella last night. The photo shows what Nelly cooked - a delicious seafood one, pre-ordered so she had time to cook it. The bar was packed. It was El Classico - the football derby between Barcelona and Real Madrid in La Liga. There were huge roars from the locals each time Barcelona scored!

Himself is still asleep so I’ve made my own tea. I need a few bits and bobs before we go home on Wednesday so all being well we will stroll up into Arroyo later.

Sorry to hear about your husband in hospital grandMattie hope he’s home with you soon. Try and put your feet up in the meantime. Sar53 I bet you’ll sigh with relief to put that key in your own front door later today. Take life gently Mick you’ve had a shock and probably feel a bit anxious until you are seen properly again.

Enjoy Monday all who can. x

Good Morning everyone from a clear sky south coast. 2.7c so feeling fresh. More sunshine is forecast.

Another difficult night Mattie and you must be exhausted with everything. Hope the hospital can ease your DH's pain and that you can get through the day with a bit less stress. I am waiting to have a new crown fitted too. Past experience tells me that it is a quick job to do so. Good luck with yours.

Sounds as if you have a right shiner Mick! Can you get an urgent appointment to sort the meds out?

Nothing much planned for today so we will see what turns up. I could make a start on making my Easter bonnet for the April WI meeting but not feeling creative at present.

Take care everyone and have the best day you can.

Good morning all, its -2° here in Glasgow.

I'm so sorry to hear your news GM, you must be exhausted. On a more positive note, your dear husband is in now the hands of the clinicians and hopefully they will be able to assess him and make him more comfortable, than he has been.
Please look after yourself.

Mick, I hope you are phoning your GP this morning.

Jaxjacky, hoping all goes well for your son's op and Urms, that your DH is on the mend. Stilllearning, praying, you have managed to avoid the lurgy!

I have woken up with hay fever and the beginning of a chest infection, the first since we started wearing masks two years ago. Oh joy!
At least I have a rescue pack of steroids and strong antibiotics on standby. As I am on a permanent lose dose of antibiotics for life, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a mild one.

DH is golfing and I am off to open up the church, our four sacristans are now ill, so I'm doing a bit of supply. I shall do an LFT, just in case. After that, I will be having a lazy day.

I really need to get up, the washing needs to go out and this is injection day. I am a terrible procrastinator, when it comes to tasks I dislike! ?!

Enjoy your day folks.

Good morning from East Yorkshire where it is very foggy.

Yesterday we spent the day with the family starting with coffee overlooking the marina and then we had a pizza lunch at a nearby restaurant. Afterwards they went off to soft play and we came home.

Today I am having a good sort out of clothing to take to a charity shop and catch up on a few other jobs.

I hope your DH will get the problem resolved and be home soon GM

Take care Mick

Scrumptious looking paella there Urms I love those big prawns they look so tasty. The last one we had in Palma had snails still in shells in them ?

Take care everyone.

Morning all

Oh Mick take care of yourself, hope you get your glasses sorted today.

grandMattie your DH is in the best place, try and rest whilst he is being cared for (((hugs)))

Sar53 safe journey, an empty home for the duration means that you can rest after your busy few days.

Urmstongran that paella looks delicious

Blue sky here in S E Essex,I am off to the gym and then have a coffee and a good natter with some friends.

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️??

Good morning from another bright and sunny day in Northampton, although there is a frost sparkling on the grass and the housetops opposite.

Spent a good couple of hours in the garden yesterday, tidying up the buddleias, and a couple of other overgrown bushes; also mowed the.bottom half of the back lawn, and will probably do the rest of it this afternoon. Managed to fill one garden waste bin; good job I've got two.. I must also go round the borders and do some weeding soon.

I then got carried away and ordered more clothes on line, more trousers, a t-shirt which I had been admiring in the store but was never in my size, and some underwear (also never in store in my size!).

Yoga this morning, then will go and have a coffee in the little cafe, then home to more gardening after lunch.

Hope your DH is soon made more comfortable, grandMattie, take the opportunity to rest if you can. And Mick, please get checked out.

Hope Monday is kind to all.

Good morning all and we have a hard frost here on the Suffolk Coast. Very unusual as we are right by the sea. Beautiful sunrise and we’re due for a lovely day. ☀️

We are staying here for another day as the plumber is coming to discuss a new boiler. We have no idea what the quote will be. Expect the worst and we ‘might’ be pleasantly surprised. ?

GM thinking of you. ?

Sar I do hope your journey is trouble free and you can relax when you get home. ?.

Mick - get yourself to the docs. Don’t put it off. ?

A walk along the beach, followed by more clearing up in the garden . We did well yesterday. But ache a bit today. ?.
A tip trip is booked for 2 o’clock and hopefully read my book with a glass of something sitting in the Summerhouse, looking out to sea. Very therapeutic! Listening to some restful music.

Wishing you all a ‘GOOD’ day and hoping all goes ‘according to plan’ . ???

A beautiful morning with sun shining in, it was spring like over the weekend, although a cold wind at times. We spent much of it walking and gardening.
My DD1 starts chemo today, she's feeling a little anxious how this will affect her, and so am I, but I will paint a smile on my face when I pick her up. Her main worry is keeping free of infection for the next 6 months, having chemo at any time is awful, but during a covid pandemic takes it to another level of stressful.
I hope for a better day for you GM what a worrying time for you.

grandMattie my thoughts are with you.

Morning from frosty but sunny S Lanarkshire. No post school childminding for me today, SiL is going off for a long planned weekend on Friday so while I’m testing daily after my close contact alert, we’re not taking a chance.
I’ll not risk the book club either today or a visit to another DGD tomorrow. I’m not sure about the logic of having to test daily but being free to go out and about, but I don’t want to put anyone else at risk

Mass this morning where masks are worn and there’s plenty of room and ? continue to be crossed.

As ever, thoughts and prayers to grandMattie and all others having such tough times ???

Could you budge up in that summerhouse please Gingster? That sounds a perfect afternoon. I can bring my Kindle and enjoy looking out to sea....
?

I can only imagine your anxiety levels Chrissielou. x

Thinking of you and of course your DD today Chrissielou. I do hope she doesn’t feel too poorly with the Chemo. Just think of it as ‘a means to an end’.
My DD is still waiting for her op but has started Immunotherapy which she has been fine with. Just wish things would move a bit quicker. Time is of the essence! ??

You are more than welcome Urms. It would be nice to have the company. We don’t really see anyone while we’re here and I do like people. DH is quite happy on his lonesome,!
Must organise visitors for the summer. ?.

Good morning all from a frosty Polmont where it's currently -2°. A hard frost on the ground too made a little easier by blue skies above. Mick definitely call your doctor. Poor you. And grandmattie what a terrible time you and your husband are having. ? Marydoll take care of yourself. A chest infection is no joke. I, too, am thinking of JaxJacky's son.
Fingers crossed stilllearning that you have escaped the virus.
Yesterday was quiet and productive. Washings out, shopping done, garden weeded.
Today will be more of the same. I have a small ironing to do and I want to wash the floors. I have no other plans. Whatever you do, have a good day.

Good morning from misty,frosty Staffordshire.

Back to childminding duties this week.DGS has already fed his breakfast to the hamster??‍♀️I am thinking a walk to the park to burn off some energy is the plan for the day.

I am sorry to hear your DH is in hospital GrandMattie.I hope he will be home soon and in the meantime as others have said I hope you manage some rest.

Hoping all unwell are soon on the mend.

Sending a wave to Scentia??I think we are the other side of Staffordshire to you but always think of you and Ash when I see the Staffordshire sign on the motorway!

Wishing the best day possible for everyone.

Chrissie thinking of your DD and hoping all goes well for her today?
