Good Morning Saturday 2nd April 2022

Good morning from a frosty Derbyshire. I've got to go out soon, so it will mean de-icing the car. Hope your DH has better days now grandMattie

Yesterday DH blacked out and fell after suddenly feeling light headed following a short walk. He'd stood up quickly after bending to change his shoes, so that may have been the cause of it. He spent the rest of the day on the sofa. He seems to have had a good night's sleep and is still in bed, so we'll see how he is today.

Nothing much planned for us today.

Hope Saturday is a good day for all.

Good morning all from sunny Harrogate
Glad your DH is now home Grandmattie it will be better without the Hospice regime.
Sorry you have had a cold Mick did you do a test to make sure it wasn’t covid?
Hope your cold gets better Bluebalou
Yesterday went to the hospital for my appointment to find it has been postponed til next week (thanks for telling me)!
The hospital cafe was overflowing so we went to Morrisons for a cuppa and a little shopping because I had to get back to the hospital for a PCR test, which was negative. Got back home to self isolate continuing until Monday, when I have a gastroscopy.
Have the best day possible folks

Good morning all and it’s bright and frosty here in Essex. The wind seems to have dropped though.
Had a message from our neighbour at our seaside cottage to say the garage roof was flapping, so Dh messaged our lovely handy man to ask him to secure it. . Neighbour said the winds up there have been as bad as the gales we had! ?.
We must try to get up there as soon as we know when Dd will have her op. ?.

This morning I will take little Dg to ballet class and then on to singing class. They have a show coming up in May!
Dd, and gd will come here for lunch along with twin gs’s (if they haven’t got anything else on) ?. They’ve requested a shepherds pie.

Glad to hear your dh is home GM. Take it at your own pace now. ?.
Mick take it easy until you feel 100%.

Hoping you all have a pleasant weekend. ???

Good morning from sunny Colchester. It is frosty but the wind seems to have dropped. We had snow again yesterday on and off all day.
I was in and out of the surgery and the pharmacy and home with antibiotics for my ear within an hour yesterday. The nurse said that coming early in a blizzard was a good idea.
DH is off on a Duke of Edinburgh award trip as it is the start of the school holidays. My ear is much better so I'll nip to Aldi to stock up for DS and I and then hunker down.
I looked at my energy readings for yesterday and despite using the same amount as Thursday, the price has doubled!!!! I'll have to make a plan.
Love to all ? x

Good morning all from a frosty, -2, S Hants. Pleased MrMattie is home, hospital pharmacies are so often the reason you hang around, I don’t know why.
I went out for a meal last night, first night for years without MrJ, bitterly cold coming home.
Hope all sniffly colds improve and you all have a lovely Saturday ??

A beautiful bright but frosty morning in Oxfordshire. Car is bring taken for mot this morning so fingers x all OK.
I will walk dog whilst DH is doing that.

Baking and cooking for DD1 and GC later. Plans to light the fire and have an easy supper tonight as its Saturday.

So pleased to hear DH is home GM I hope you can relax together today.
for you.

I had flowers delivered yesterday, an early birthday surprise, unfortunately I ended up thanking the wrong person as I have 2 friends with the same first name , we all laughed at my error!

Good morning everyone, it’s frosty here in Wiltshire.
I seem to have acquired a stinking cold, not a happy bunny ☹️
I will walk DDog and I have to take DH to the chiropractor this morning then I will come back to bed I think.
Have done a LFT and it’s negative, not that I have any idea where I could have caught Covid because I rarely go out!
Hope everyone has a good weekend x

Good morning Mick, morning all from chilly South Lanarkshire.

Take things easy Mick, rest until you’re feeling more like yourself.

Pleased to hear that your DH is home, hopefully you will both be able to have a little nap or two today Mattie

Work today will be hard going as I only have one volunteer for four hours, it’ll be tricky meeting my targets. I’ll have to find sixty good items of clothing to tag, price, steam and get out on the shop floor as well as a similar number of non hanging items. Hey ho.

Have the best day possible folks. Let’s hope for a ?or two??along the way.

Morning Mick, morning All. Our corner of Somerset is dry, it does feel cold, just 1 degree out there.

Enjoyed a walk around a sunny if very windy marina yesterday, a little sorting on our return while Mr C did some outside jobs but no, didn’t get to the paper sort and shred. Oh well. Today maybe.

First job is to take a redundant plastic ‘half shed’ to the tip. Mr C delighted in telling me there had been a large toad sheltering underneath. I know they won’t hurt me but I thoroughly dislike them so was pleased to have been busy indoors and not made it’s acquaintance. Be sure each piece of shed will be carefully inspected to make sure we aren’t transporting livestock.

Hope a calm day ahead for you both grandmattie and you feel more robust soon mick. Get well wishes to all poorly folk.

Hope Saturday is kind to us all.

grandMattie ? thoughts to you and DH for a more relaxing day.

Good morning Mick and everyone from a frost but dry Hull.
Mick you are going though it’s aren’t you. So sorry you aren’t feeling at your best at the moment.
I love the big mug Pantglas I’m a big mug lover too. I love my cups of tea.
Today we are heading on the train to Leeds for two nights. I’ve never really been in Leeds city centre, we are seeing War of the worlds at the arena tomorrow. Tonight we are booked in to a fully gluten free restaurant which I’m excited about. I have the choice of the full menu.
DHs procedure went well yesterday. It’s the final test and everything is ok. The problem is still there but thankfully it’s nothing serious.
Take care everyone and hope Saturday brings moments of joy??

Oh, Pant, I have several of those…. I call them a more elegant “bucket”! ?

Good morning from an overcast E Kent. We are promised a glorious day. It has to be better than the sleet, hail and gales of yesterday.
We had to wait for 5 hours for the hospital to deliver DH’s prescribed drugs to the hospice. It was exhausting and wore poor DH out. He was in a lot of pain by he time we got home. Today will be easier as we shall be free to do what he wants rather than being helpless to other people.
Didn’t sleep well as this wretched cold made me cough half the night. Shouldn’t complain as it’s the first cold I’ve had in about 7 years. DH no longer sleeps well. He dozes most of both day and night.
Dear*Marydoll*, I’m glad you are ok, even though feeling rotten. Please try not to overdo things.
Take care, dear virtual friends, make the most of today. Carpe diem. ????

Good morning Mick and all - gosh, you’re having a tough time at the moment - let’s hope you feel better soon along with t’others in sick bay at the moment ??? ???

I’m hoping Lauranorderr has got that weatherbarn on the island sorted after the chilly weather she’s been getting rid of these last few days and her stocks of sunshine ☀️ are replenished soon, brrrr? there’s snow on Snowdonia!

DH has kindly trotted off for a paper and will provide my chamberpot ☕️ on his return....here’s mine and his Blossoming - you can see why we named it ?

Have a lovely weekend all x

Good morning everyone from a dry Severnside. I’ve woken with a headache this morning.

I have some crafting to do and may do some sewing. If it’s not too cold I’ll make a start on clearing out the shed. Although that will make me warm doing that. I have a new recipe to try with tuna and carrot and coriander soup to make.

I hope MrMattie was able to return home yesterday and is comfy.

Have a good day all especially those with worries ??
