Good Morning Wednesday 30th March 2022

Followed by sunshine of course, should learn to preview

Good morning from a very grey, dull and miserable looking day in Essex by the sea.
I'm going with DH this morning to see what he has been doing to his new boat and to check that he is keeping it clean and tidy !!! The first time out in nearly 10 days.
Have a good day and kind thoughts to anyone who is ill, sad or lonely xxx

A very grey chilly start this morning in Oxfordshire. Very busy at work at the moment, but may need to take DD1 for a check up as she has some worrying symptoms this morning. She will call the triage team who will advise. It was never going to be easy, we knew that.
I haven't read the posts yet, so will catch up shortly. Thinking of those who are struggling with what life throws at them.

Good morning from a grey S Hants, the real cold is due here overnight, I’d like snow, we might get a flake or two when we’re asleep.
Nothing wrong with some sleep aid when you’ve so much going on gMattie, thoughts with you.
Have your new wheels arrived Merlot?
A quiet day today, MrJ completed my raised bed yesterday, too early to plant out, but it’s poised, might go for a seaside walk, we like Stokes Bay.
Wishing strength to those suffering and their close ones, a happy day for all with the odd ??.

Good morning all from grey and cold South Lanarkshire. No snow thank goodness but it just feels miserable.

Take it easy Mick, I’m sure your confidence will return but by bit.

Pleased to hear that you managed to sleep gM.

I must try to get my cooking mojo back, I just don’t have any enthusiasm for it these days and I have to make a dish to take to DS tomorrow. I’m out of ideas.

Anyhoo, wishing everyone a peaceful day it’s a flamingo or two thrown in. ??

Good morning from Cheshire.
Getting darker by the minute !
So sorry to read that your daughter is experiencing worrying symptoms Gingster it is a very difficult journey.
DS taking me out for brunch today . We can talk for Britain !

Good morning Mick and everyone from a rainy Hull.
Up late this morning as we are both isolating so DH can have a procedure done on Friday. We’ve no plans at all I expect it will be wall to wall telly.
Urmstongran we did laugh at Matt this morning loved the police doing the conga.
grandMattie?
I had some unusual coloured dicentra seeds(bleeding hearts) delivered yesterday so will be looking up how to plant them. Our hot border on the south side that resembled crazy paving is really appreciating this rain.
Take care everyone and hope Wednesday brings a moment of joy??

So so sorry Chrissielou I put the wrong user name. I know Gingster has a daughter having treatment too.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Morning all from a chilly North Leicestershire.

Not a lot happening here today but sending lots of love, support and good wishes to all.

Funeral at lunchtime of friend who has died too soon and who will be so missed in our small community, so a sad day. Otherwise must read the next section of the Lent group book for tomorrow and plan some real cooking. I have bought a Remoska in the hope I will be motivated to learn to cook for one. Has anyone experience with this? I am hoping it will save on electricity too.

Agree with Marydoll that there is some very judgmental response which is not helpful. I am always pleased when posters have something happy to say, sad for them when they don’t. Life is hard enough without adding to the difficulties.

Chrissielou, sorry to hear your daughter is having a difficult time?

Good morning Mick and everyone from cool (3C) Carlisle where it is rather showery.
I went into town yesterday on a difficult search...for ballet pumps in a narrow fit. I came back empty handed. Two possibles were not in my size. I noticed M&S had a new section for wide fittings which seem to be the in thing, 2 online firms I patronise have nothing else. Never mind, I shall probably be wearing fur lined boots for my weekend away.
A morning of a little housework and some admin beckons plus I need to do an LFT before I depart especially as I've woken with a bad headache for some unknown reason. Too much reading of books with tiny print? My charity shop pile of them is growing.
I hope there is soon some positive action for your DH grandMattie. My thoughts are with you.
Have the best possible day all of you.

Happy news.
I had a call last evening that at last Philip’s pension pot has finally been given to his boy. Problem is that with a 6 figure sum, if not careful, he could be taken advantage. His mum is very sensible, so I’m not too worried.
She is allowing him a grand to waste… ?

Well that is better news grandMattie, and sensible Mum too.
Have a lovely trip to London EkwaNimitee you’ve waited a long time, enjoy every minute.

That is happy news grandMattie and hopefully a secure future for your DGS. I agree with his mum to give him some money to enjoy now. A lovely reason for you to smile today?

It's a sunny morning here in south Dartmoor. Having tested negative for eight days now following my close contact with covid I think I must be in the clear and can go out today.
I am very puzzled as to why I didn't catch it.

Good morning everyone from a grey and chilly Northampton. Bit late this morning, so will go back and read everyone's doings later.

I did eventually manage to speak to a doctor yesterday and sorted out what was bothering me - all well now. Did not go on my health walk in the afternoon as it poured with rain here, so stayed in and watched Prince Philip's service instead. I thought it was very well done, with sublime music and excellent speakers.

Just done an LFT before book club this afternoon, thankfully negative. Had intended to go to a rugby match tonight, but snow is forecast here, so thought better of it! Back to winter clothes after a few dalliances with t-shirts last week.

Wishing all well today.

Good morning from a wet and grey South Yorkshire. Housewifery and hopefully some sewing on the agenda for today. I thought when I retired I would have lots of spare time and be able to do lots of sewing but so far this had not come to pass. How is this lol?
Love to all and have a good day xx

Good morning everyone from a cloudy but dry south coast.

My wheels have arrived Jax but I’m a bit housebound today and tomorrow as luck (sod’s law) would have it there are deliveries to wait in for. Stokes Bay is just a short drive from me. I used to take the grandchildren for walks there when they were all small and I was on Granny duty. I always wave to my friends on the Isle of Wight!!

Hope everyone has a good day before cold weather returns.

Good morning all from a dull W Kent. DH birthday yesterday and for the first time in many months all those living near enough managed a meal out together. I am afraid I spent a lot of it just sitting and looking at them all together again.
Friend coming over this afternoon, we intend to plan a few days out when the weather gets better but we need to get them in the diary or it never happens.
Good wishes to all .

Jax and Merlotgran we used to rent a caravan in Stokes Bay when I was a child. I remember one day we sat on the beach and watched a Gun boat or some such, firing missiles at a boat moored up some way off shore, everyone on the beach cheered when they hit it and booed when they missed.
Happy days late 1950s……

Good Morning from soggy, wet, chilly Harrogate.
Hope you soon have a plan for your DH GrandMattie but the a rest when you can meantime.
Today is nothing day, will just potter around doing nothing
Have the best day possible folks

Good morning Mick and everyone. The weather has definitely taken a turn for the worse in my corner of Lancashire. Driving rain and howling wind, currently 4°C.

Glad you’re feeling better Mick but I would take it easy for a while longer while you regain your confidence.

You needed a good sleep after a frustrating day Grandmattie, hope tomorrow’s meeting with the urologist is more productive. I’m glad you’ve had a little good news as well.

Allsorts people will realise your post was meant for another thread (which I’ve read and I agree with you!). I hope you can get some rest.

Sounds like a lovely day out yesterday Marydoll, don’t let anything spoil it.

No plans for today. Yesterday’s shopping trip pretty much wiped me out so a day of pottering is on the cards.

May all those with worries find some comfort and all who are under the weather find some relief.

Good morning Mick and all from another dull day on the northwest coast.
Nice day yesterday singing in music club but again the night cramps had me out of bed in the night, must really do something about it. A friend recommended magnesium
, so will give that a whirl. Also ate too many chocs from my birthday presents of a few boxes.
Off on the bus to usual lunchtime concert although the broken night has left me unenthusiastic.
Take it easy Mick and thoughts to GM and all with troubles.
