Good Morning Wednesday 23rd \March 022

Good morning from a hazy east Kent.
I’m sorry you’re feeling unwell, Mick. Have you spoken to your GP as recommended by many of us?
Rubbish day again yesterday. DH was dozy and nauseous. The district nurse was called for an antiemetic injection last evening. I must speak to the hospice team today.
Nothing happening again, watching DH like a hawk. It is very wearing.
I hope you have a day as glorious as the weather! Carpe diem. ?????

Morning from West Oxfordshire. Maybe you’ve got covid, Mick.
I won’t be getting up for ages. Not sure what I’ll do today. It is the fifth day since I first showed symptoms of covid so I might do another test. Apparently people in my village are coming down with covid in droves. Most of us have been triple vaccinated too. Depending on how much energy I have I may make some ice cream today or do some baking. OH has covid now and fears the worst. I’m an eternal optimist but he is an eternal pessimist.

Good morning all from Rome where another sunny and warm day is forecast.

I would have a word with the GP Mick.

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having such a difficult time gMattie.

Wishing everyone the best day possible.

Good Morning everyone from Severnside. It’s going to be another lovely day. My neighbours are getting their summer use vehicles out.

It would be unrealistic for me to say I know how you feel Mattie. I can only say from my own experience in that all though I knew I was doing the best I could for DH it frustrated me I couldn’t make him better.

The dining room and downstairs toilet will be on my cleaning list today. Out into the garden after to make sure the green waste is full and some sunshine reading.

Have the best day you can all ???

Good morning, all, on another fine morning in Torbay.

I do recommend you seek medical advice, Mick, as nose bleeds are likely to make you light headed. My late father suffered with them and had cauterisation on at least one occasion.

Your poor DH, grandMattie. It must be heartbreaking for you to see him suffer and I hope you continue to receive support from the hospice.

No change here with my LFT still showing positive yesterday. DH is fine so I encouraged him to have a day out yesterday as I’m well able to look after myself and the weather was beautiful. No point in both of us missing out on the sunshine.

Happy hump day, especially to those on holiday! ??????

Morning all

Sorry to hear you are poorly Mick have you taken a LFT?

grandMattie (((hugs)))

Enjoy Rome Baubles

Safe journey home Urmstongran

I hope you are ok Sar53

The 7 yr old slept here last night, so it’s a full English for him before school. Then I shall change beds, put the washing machine on, go to the gym then off to M & S Food Hall.

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

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

Tip run accomplished yesterday it looks as if we can dispose of one small storage shed. Good news for sure. Grocery delivery and dust removal this morning. We need compost and may combine a trip to collect that with some lunch

Mick please do contact your surgery, an LFT seems a good plan too. A hug for grandmattie, no one could do more than you are. Thinking of all poorly folk

Hope Wednesday is gentle with us all.

Here’s Matt.

Good morning everyone from Malaga where it’s raining heavily with big black clouds over them thar mountains! Blimey, the forecast shows this for the next week too.

I always wake up ten minutes or so before the alarm if I set one (rarely these days natch). We’re off to the airport ✈️ in a couple of hours. We would usually go by train but it’s so wild and windy I’ve just said to Himself I’m going to ring for a taxi. €20 versus €3.20 by train but I reckon we’re worth it!

So sorry to hear your husband is struggling grandMattie you must be churned up. Good idea to ring the hospice team for help. It’s what they’re there for. You were so organised getting him signed up for assistance so early.

Enjoy Wednesday all who can. I feel sorry for anyone flying out to Spain right now for a short holiday. x

Morning all from sunny S Hants.
grandMattie it’s not much help, but I am thinking of you.
Washing, cleaning and garden today, one drive later. Yesterday was similar, but I’d ducked the cleaning, can’t put it off any longer.
Enjoy your day if you can ??.

I am off to the Yorkshire Dales today with my walking pals for a day's walk, picnic lunch and pub tea. Will be great to see them all.
Thinking of you GMattie. Take a day at a time and rest when you can.x

Sorry, safe journey Urms it’s unusual, returning to more sun than you’re leaving!

Good Morning Mick and everyone from a foggy Hull but we have a lovely day promised later.
Mick and grandMattie a big hug for you both.
?for all coping with the covid. It really is ripping through everyone.
Yesterday we had a climbing frame and large slide delivered for the DGC which DH put together and as always happens there was a piece missing which they are sending. It should save the back of the chairs and sofa from a robust seven year old fingers crossed.
This morning I’m at the gym but then it’s fairly quiet until GS comes from school and his daddy is staying for tea when he picks him up.
Enjoy the sunshine today if you can and hope Wednesday brings moments of joy??

All your hugs and encouragement is a huge help. I feel enveloped in a blanket of affection. Thank you all.

Good morning from another sunny day in Essex by the sea.
Another night of not sleeping well but hey ho I'm not going anywhere or doing anything so can rest during the day. I felt pretty rotten yesterday so hopefully today will be better.
My girls have been messaging and phoning and one of my neighbours kindly deposited bread and milk outside my door.
DH is due home Saturday evening but I didn't hear from him yesterday, he's somewhere of the East Coast in the North Sea, I hope he's OK.
Thank you to GG13 and Gingster who both offered to drop provisions off yesterday. Food and drink doesn't taste good at the moment so I'm mainly existing on Marmite on toast which I can taste.
I heard yesterday that my cousin, whom I saw last week, tested positive yesterday, he was meant to be going to Australia next week to see his parents. He hasn't seen them for over two years. Not sure what will happen now.
Mick I do think you should either do an lft or see your GP.
GM I cannot begin to understand what you are going through with your DH, I send you love and .
Kind thoughts to you all and have a lovely Wednesday xx

Good Morning everyone from a sunny and clear south coast . Only 4.8c at present but set to warm up fairly quickly.

I had another bad dream after having cheese (with a hot cross bun) for tea. Cheese seems to be the cause of bad dreams when I have some (and it was only a small bit) later than lunchtime! I was glad to waken up and escape from dreamland this morning.

Such a hard time for you Mattie and the constant anxiety is so wearing. Hope the hospice can help - you need all the help you can get to get through this testing time.

Sorry you are still testing positive Ash. Hopefully soon start to pick up. I wonder if some sunshine might help? Can you find an isolated spot to sit and enjoy the rays for a bit?

Your Gransnet friends are worried about you Mick. Please contact your GP for advice. It sounds as if you are not really any better.

The sunshine is waiting for you Urmstongran and set to last over the weekend so will welcome you home later. Safe travels!

Your Roman Holiday (good name for a film?) sounds lovely baubles and I can imagine how beautiful everything looks in the sunshine. Enjoy!

To anyone I have missed, take care and look after yourselves. It's too nice to be doing indoors chores isn't it?

A beautiful start to the day in Oxfordshire. It is our wedding anniversary, 20 years today I married my wonderful DH. I woke to a beautiful bouquet and a wonderful necklace made from upcycled Claris Cliff. I feel quite overwhelmed.

Covid seems to be ripping its way through the country, Mick unfortunately those symptoms sound suspiciously like covid. I would recommend a gp call this morning.

DD1 had a gruelling day yesterday, the day after chemo isn't a day to dance with joy. Hopefully symptoms will ease today.

GM I am thinking of you and sending you a virtual hug.

Good morning all from Derbyshire, another lovely spring day ahead.

I'm so sorry you are having such a difficult time grandMattie and am thinking of you both, as well as all others dealing with life's trials and coping with illness

Life is due to get better for us from today as DD and her family are moving back near us after eight months living away. Later today our grandsons and their three dogs are coming to stay for two nights while the move takes place. It will be so good to have them back. There are also positive signs that the much deteriorated relationship between DD and I is improving following a recent heart to heart, and them being closer should help with that. I feel so relieved.

Unhelpfully, though, I'm full of cold at the moment, so not at my best for when they arrive later. A precautionary LFT has shown that it's not covid, thankfully, so I'll just get on with things.

Hope Wednesday is a good day for all. Safe journey Urms

Chrissielou congratulations for your anniversary today.
Hope you DD feels a little better in the coming days poor love.

Good morning all from a sunny Glasgow.

As others have said, you really need to see a GP Mick, combined with your heart condition, those nose bleeds are concerning. Also, an LFT sounds essential too, especially as you do a fair number of journeys on public transport.

I am sorry to hear so many on here are struggling. Sending you all my very best wishes for a peaceful day. ?

Good morning all and we’re back ‘home’ in Essex. We didn’t want to leave the sunshine by the sea but it’s always nice to get back to friends and family. ❤️.

I was back in time for Bridge Club and one of our ladies had made birthday meringues. Delicious!
DH and DS1 went off to a local footie match. They love it but always come back saying ‘dreadful game’ ?! ?

Today my Dd has a biopsy on her groin where they removed lymph nodes. They aren’t sure whether it’s scarring or cancer. I hope they move quickly, so that she can have the op on her leg and any other bits that need removing.

Chrissielou and Kitty - always in my thoughts ?

Sar - hopefully you’ll start to pick up soon. Just rest and recover .?Ash ?. So many people with covid at the moment!

GM - such a hard time for you. ?.

Urms - safe journey home. The sunshine awaits you ?

GG - might bump into you in M and S ?.

Hoping your days are pleasant or at least OK!
???

Happy anniversary Chrissielou ?. That necklace sounds gorgeous. Can you show us a pic?

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 3°. Another fine day ahead. There's a heavy dew so far and a slight mist. Michael get yourself to the doctor. Grandmattie life is so hard for you just now. Chrissielou, Gingster and Kittylester ? for you and your daughters.
Yesterday dgs1 was so excited to be going to nursery. He couldn't eat breakfast and was whirling about like a peerie. (Top) when we reached the nursery he ran straight in when the gate was opened looking for the water table. He didn't say goodbye to his mum. It was so funny. When we picked him up an hour later, he was breaking his heart because he didn't want to leave! That all augurs well. I took him to my house as he wanted to go to grandma's house and we had a lovely afternoon.
Today I'll visit mum then dd is going to drop off dgs1 after nursery. He goes for two hours today. Then all day tomorrow. So more mud pies in the garden today. Have a good day all.

Good morning from sunny Colchester. Carol Kirkwood has just said it could reach 19 here today but that the hay fever forecast was moderate.
I'll have to remember to use my nasal spray before I go out to the weekly coffee meetup.

We'll have to stop advising people with symptoms to take an LFT as you can no longer get hold of free ones. Just staying at home and looking after yourself as we always used to when sick is the future!

Happy Anniversary Chrissilou
Sending love to all ?x
