Good Morning Wednesday 13th April 2022

Good morning from as kitty says an overcast Leicestershire.

So pleased the op went okay Kitty I suspect she will be home today?
Happy to hear your DH had a more restful day GrandMattie.
Sad news Scentia.

We are getting ready today to travel to Brighton tomorrow - I hope I have the stamina as Covid has knocked me out!

Wishing everyone a good day.

Good morning from a slightly overcast Essex by the sea.
I had a wonderful day yesterday with my 2 daughters and 5 granddaughters.
We travelled to the end of the pier and back on the train, had lots of fun on the rides, well the granddaughters did. The youngest two, 4 and 6 loved the soft play area and we had a very unhealthy lunch.
It was a magical day all being together which doesn't happen very often and not one argument or cross word.
Younger daughter drove home last night, eldest leaves today.
I have some lovely photos to remember a wonderful day.
I will now settle down to read all of your news.
Have a wonderful Wednesday and enjoy the sun xxx

Good morning everyone from an overcast but dry Northampton. Still suffering from my cold but still testing negative. Cancelled my hair appointment which should have been this morning, and made another one for next week. Staying away from people this week just in case, but may venture out to the shops on Saturday, hoping my cold will be gone by then.

Spent a good couple of hours in the garden yesterday tidying up, and will be out again this afternoon, as I spied plenty of weeds yesterday.

Nothing else planned for today apart from finishing the Sainsburys order and general tidying up.

Hoping Wednesday is kind to all, and thinking of those with worries and cares.

Good morning from Shropshire.

Yesterday we went shopping in our nearest big town as I needed/wanted some new jeans,So good to be able to try things on again!We had lunch out and then finished with a trip to The Range.

Today we are looking after the grandchildren as DD is off to the theatre in Liverpool.Like gingster Easter crafts are on the agenda.

So pleased your DD’s operation went well kitty and wish her well going forward?

We have had Covid twice and found the tiredness lasted quite a while unfortunately.

Party, I am another worrier.It’s exhausting isn’t it?

Wishing everyone a good day??

Good morning everyone from a cloudy south coast. Glad your DD’s op went well , kitty. Having to wait until late afternoon adds to the stress - as well as not being allowed to eat!

A quick trip to the supermarket this morning. I won’t need much as I’m going away for Easter but I’d better buy some goodies to take with me.

I clipped Peggy yesterday now the weather is warming up. She looks a bit sorry for herself but she has her booster jab tomorrow and I want her to look presentable for her new vet!

Hope you all have a good day with time to take a deep breath and relax for those who need to.

Please put your feet up today Marydoll? what a day yesterday. I do look forward to your posts.
Grandmadinosaur enjoy your day with your DGS hope your energy lasts the day.

Here’s Matt.

Good morning everyone from a dry south Manchester where we have complete white cloud cover. Looks mild enough out though.

We’re taking the Boy Wonder and L’il Miss to the ‘Clip & Climb’ wall at our local leisure centre. Their mum booked an 11am slot for them on line. She’s off to get highlights and a cut as the 4 of them are off to a wedding in Mere, Cheshire tomorrow.

Enjoy the day all who can. I’m less anxious and slept well last night after speaking to my favourite GP at teatime yesterday. Health anxiety impacts on my well being so much I feel quite flaky when I compare myself to so many on here who are far more capable and robust. I do admire you all very much. x

Morning all. I haven’t posted for a while as I have felt quite down, and as I don’t go out much I don’t have much to report, but I do follow the thread. I’m going for my Spring Covid booster today, I feel very lucky to have it, it is at least one thing this government has done well, if nothing else. Wishing you all a lovely day, thoughts are with those with worries and health problems.

Good morning all from a wet Black country yesterday very much the same so our day with the boys was spent at soft play and the big yellow arches their choice, their mum said it was their perfect day to which eldest Dgs 6 replied to make it more perfect would have been a new toy? kids don't you just love them.
Will read through after breakfast tummy rumbling.
Enjoy your day everyone and may you all find some ?.

Joyce I don’t have a very interesting life either but it is good to hear from people in the same boat ?

Good morning Mick and all from dry but dull Anglesey. Hello to Joyce6135, nice to see you, no need to report much, just hello each morning will suffice to become a welcome friend.
Sad news for your daughter Scentia, two lovely children to be thankful for but even so it must hurt when you long for a third.
Peggy is looking very smart Merlotgran, she does look a bundle of fun.
Enjoy your time with your grandson gMattie, I’m sure the visit will pep you both up a bit.
Try to make the best of today everyone, feel lucky, we’re all still here aren’t we. ????

Good Morning all, it’s dry here this morning after a wet day yesterday, I’m waiting for a Doctor to ring about blood test results , it used to be you could pop in and get test results face to face by your favourite Doctor , I’ve no idea who or when I will be talking to .
Ever optimistic I had ordered a new greenhouse on line , Two boxes have arrived , but the other one has gone missing , the base is going down this weekend , but it looks like I will have to reorder from someone else…. Sigh
I have a.ready got seeds growing on the bedroom window cill, but they are a tad leggy already ! I might have to resort to buying plants again this year , but I do enjoy the whole seed sowing and potting on busyness.
DD is sympathetic , she has her eye on the greenhouse when I give up ??

Good morning Mick and everyone from a rather dull and dark Carlisle. Missing the sun but at least I don't have to bother about watering my new plantings, it's rained plenty of water down from the skies.
I 'entertained' myself setting up the new phone yesterday evening, it was fairly straightforward but involved a lot of words I loathe, i.e 'password', 'ID' etc plus other words I shouldn't use.
Today, a bit of housework, a bit of admin and a bit of picture hanging. Plus I'm getting a delivery of something much easier to deal with than a new phone, which is a case of wine! I have to be prepared for the arrival of DS1 at the end of the month. My DS's are much thirstier people than me, my wine cellar aka the hall cupboard is soon depleted.

Wishing a better day to all the unwell, with special thoughts to you and your DH, grandMattie.

Scentia, such sad news. ?

Urms glad you manage to have a chat with your GP. Hopefully, things won't be as bad as you fear.

? Joyce6135 ?

Good morning from an overcast NE after overnight rain.
Had a lazy day yesterday, didn't do any housework.
Pleased your DD's operation is over kitty, I can empathise over the long wait as my last op I sat from 7.30am to 3pm before going to theatre. At our hospital you are not assigned a bed until you return from theatre.
Pleased your DH has had some relief with nausea drugs gM, we could never get it right with my DH.
DIL had covid just before we went on holiday and thankfully I seem to have escaped the lurgy.
DS said last night that GDs would be expecting Easter eggs, despite being all grown up, so I guess I am going to have to go shopping.
Have a good day.

Thanks Marydoll. I’m down from high doh today. x

Good Morning all from cloudy Harrogate
GrandMattie once your DH's body gets used to the drugs he will probably settle (Hopefully, anyway)
Glad your DDs op was successful KittyLester hope she is home soon.
Good to hear your normal jaunts have resumed Mick and that your friends missed you.
That is such sad news Scentia
Didn't doubt you Marydoll being able to drive, mind you it's so long since I have driven I have completely lost my nerve, not helped by DH deciding he will drive if I want to go anywhere. Am now hoping to persuade him that the car needs a run (euphemism for I want to go to some shops that aren't in town!)
Have the best day possible folks

Good morning all from a yet again grey Angus coast. We had some glorious weather earlier in the year, but it's difficult to remember that when the grey persists for so long! Good news from DS1 - they put their large house on the market on Saturday and it had sold by Monday!! Now they have to find themselves another, smaller house (yes, my little ones are beginning to downsize now.). They are now on the buyers side of a seller's market ..... Joyce your comment rang a bell with me. All my interesting happenings come to me via third parties now! Which reminds me, my niece should be back from LA this week where she's been visiting her DD and family. Her SiL is showbiz, so it's always an interesting catch-up when she gets home . So glad everybody's yesterdays were good, or at least a little less bad. Well done Marydoll and Mick on your successful excursions. It was lovely to be remembered like that, wasn't it Mick. Grandmattie I meant to say yesterday how much I loved your latest quilt, and how sorry I am to hear of your DH's illness. So hard for you both. Best wishes for a pleasant/exciting/hardworking/relaxing day everyone. Take your pick. xxx

Good morning everyone, this is my first time posting on this thread, thanks to Marydoll for the encouragement. This is my first day of an Easter break from work. Work is very stressful at the moment and today I am going to have a slow day at home. I will read for a while but see where my thoughts take me.

I'm a new-ish GM - we don't see our GS as much as we would like as they live nearly 200 miles away. But we have a video call most weekends.

Morning all from overcast Liverpool!
Prompted to join in by **Marydolls post.
Really enjoyed reading all the other posters.
I’m guessing you all just check in each day ?

I’m in the midst of a “sorting stuff out “project - but seem to be causing chaos as I go ?‍♀️.
I’m looking at all my old coats today ( or will be if I can put my phone down ?).

Kitty good to hear dd op went ok after a long wait .
Scentia sorry for your sad news.
Granmattie hope new antiemetics work.
Have a good day all.

Good morning from cloudy W Kent. A phone call to friend this morning, usually we meet up but she is having a tree sorted out, then off for a bit of lunch out.
Very sorry about your DD Scentia
Glad the driving went well Marydoll, I felt the same after weeks off.
Best wishes to all

Good morning all from a brighter Algarve. Brighter for me after a very bad night and brighter weather wise as the sun has returned this morning.
Im glad to see that Mick’s outing went well but shall have to catch up with everyone else throughout the day.

Good morning from a cloudy Oxfordshire, felt I’ll again on Sunday, took a LFT but it reads positive, so just a sore throat/head achy stomach bug then. Great. Although I’m surely immune for a few months anyway?
Up all night (literally) so I’m going to plonk myself down with a book and that’s it for today.
So sorry to hear so many families really going through the mill, I hope that better days follow for you all.
Love and hugs.
