Good Morning Thursday 14th April 2022

Hello, I’ve been reading posts for months and absolutely love it, decided I’d start posting after Easter but really would like to wish you well Marydoll and hope everything works out well for you. Hope to ‘speak’ to everyone next week, I’m off to Scarborough tomorrow for a couple of days. Hope everyone has a lovely long week-end and very best wishes to everyone who is poorly, if thoughts of you can make you better you will be !

Oh Mary I have just read about you having Covid. Stay well and keep hydrated I wish you well ❤️

Good morning all from bright Harrogate
Welcome Echt it will be good to hear your tales of ‘down under’
Take your time Mick it will all be there when you are ready
You are having quite a time of it GrandMattie hope everything settles down soon for you and DH
Oh dear! Marydoll! Another fine mess you’ve got into!! Try not to worry too much, when I had it it was fairly mild. The worst part was the isolation, but the hospital staff are there for you if need be.
Today it’s the Sainsburies shopping delivery. Had a good mosey in an out of town shopping centre yesterday and ended up in Lidl - think DH likes it there.
Hope your DD soon feels the benefit of her surgery Kittylester
Have the best day possible folks

Oh gagagran you made me giggle with your description of your DH sounding like a donkey! I love the Easter Bonnet too, it’ll be very fetching I’m sure … enjoy the parade ?

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 6° and dry with grey skies. Marydoll I hope the anti virals work their magic. I'll be thinking of you. Scentia that is good news for your daughter. Baubles you are a very busy lady these days! Mick do what you feel comfortable doing*.
Yesterday was good. Mum was on good form, then I had a productive session at art class. I arrived home to see a bouquet of roses at my door. They were an Easter gift from mum. She is a really difficult person but occasionally glimpses of the nicer one can be seen.
Today I am meeting friends for lunch. One I haven't seen since before the pandemic. Have a good day all.

Oh Marydoll that’s a shock but maybe like a Sword of Damacles, not totally unexpected. Our clinicians are much more aware of excellent fine tuned treatments two years on. Get well soon.

Here’s Matt.

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s dry, mild and almost sunny. Our little family are off to a wedding. A nice day ahead for the bride for photographs. We are picking the Boy Wonder and L’il Miss at 8pm. We will sleep over at theirs while mum & dad enjoy the evening, a stay at the hotel and a leisurely breakfast with their friends. Nice.

? to you echt. Himself loves the Grand Prix and the weather in Melbourne last weekend looked gorgeous. The circuit road was parallel to a sparkling aquamarine sea from SKY news aerial shots. Beautiful indeed.

Enjoy Thursday all who can. I’ve lost another 0.5lbs. I’m a bit disappointed as I’ve been so good but at least I know I’m eating very healthily! Himself think I sit about too much and need exercise. On reflection he’s right of course. I need to walk more. I’m glad nicer weather (and our holiday next weekend) is on the cards. That will tempt me to go out more!

Good morning from sunny Colchester. 19°forecast today.
Bedding is in the machine and going on the line.
I have an empty today.
A walk to Aldi and maybe another later for a browse in The Range. Both are less than 15 minutes from home.
Love to all ? x

Good morning Mick and everyone from what promises to be a lovely day in Hull.
Where to start this morning after reading all your posts

granMattie ? we are all with you and your DH x

echt welcome from Melbourne looking forward to your posts.

Gaga you made me laugh with your DH snoring. Love that hat.

Kitty it must have been heartbreaking seeing your brave DD upset. Poor love

Scentia after yesterdays worrying post it’s so good that little tiger is still strong inside.

Marydoll I think it was a matter of time before it hit you after being so close to your DH and Dollie. I told my DH it had hit you and we both wish you well at the hospital.

Today I’ve got my two best friends coming over for lunch and one is bringing her DGD. I’ve invited my DD and baby B as well. They haven’t met baby so it will be a few fun hours. I decorated for Easter yesterday. Yellow everywhere, it makes me feel so cheerful.
Enjoy all your dog walks and family visits. ?
Take care everyone and hope Thursday brings a moment of joy??

Mak27 welcome and looking forward to your posts. Enjoy your break away.
Pittcity put our bedding on the line yesterday and it was dried and straight back on the bed. It smelt lovely.

Good morning everyone.
I had a bad night with horrible dreams. Good job I don’t have to drive up to Derbyshire today.
Family will be joining us for the long weekend and we will stay on for a few more days.
Hope the anti-virals do their workMarydoll
Healing thoughts to all who need them and hope for a little sunshine .

WelcomeEcht
I love that bonnet Gagagran !
Sunny here in Cheshire.
My good wishes to all who are suffering - whether personal or because of sick family and friends.

Good morning from Leicestershire.

Sorry to hear you have succumbed Marydoll hope the anti virals help.
Pleased your DD is home and not in too much pain. It is a tough road but does get better.
Great news Scentia and welcome echt.

We are off to Brighton for the weekend today to spend time with DS, DiL and GC. Hoping the post Covid symptoms clear up. Coming back via London and staying with DD and SiL.

Hoping everyone has a lovely weekend and those who are unwell recover quickly.

DSiL is with me to drive me to their home for Easter, so I had better get a move on. Hope I can remember what I need to take with me!

Sorry about Marydoll after taking care for so long Hope the drugs work for her and that she can defeat this wretched virus. There really does appear to be no escape .

I meant to say your DD kitty!

Good morning from a misty S Hants. Welcome echt and Mak27.
How bizarre gMattie power of the mind.
Fingers crossed Scentia one of life’s gifts, congratulations.
Pleased your DD is home safely kitty it’s very traumatic.
No real plans today as still +ve, thé weariness is up and down, garden pottering I expect.
Best wishes and a swift recovery to those poorly.
Enjoy your day ??

? Mak27 looking forward to hearing from you after your Easter break.

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny Northampton, a nice change after yesterday's grey wet weather. My plans for an afternoon of weeding in the garden were scuppered by a constant stream of heavy prolonged showers. So I spent the time making good inroads into my new book.

I also rang a dear friend to warn her of the imminent arrival of her birthday present (she turns 80 on Saturday); I have ordered a Teatime Book Box for her - it contains two new best-selling books, some coffee, biscuits, a mug, a book bag, a bookmark and other literary items. I hope she likes it. Didn't tell her what the present was, but warned her to expect a parcel.

Sainsbury's delivery expected in a while, so must get my skates on. Will be too wet to get on the garden today, so another afternoon of reading. Shall give ballet and evening walk a miss, as I still have my cold, but still testing negative.

Oh dear Marydoll, the rotten Covid managed to find you; but you are in good hands and everything seems to be under control.

Welcome to all our new and returned posters. I love this daily thread, and hope you will too.

I posted before reading the thread and would like to welcome Marydoll to the Covid club. There are a lot of us who have or have had it on here. All the best at the hospital and I look forward to reading the book!

Hugs all around ?

I haven’t heard of the Book box you mentioned bluesapphire so I’ve googled and what a great idea. I have a friends birthday next month and I never know what to buy her . This sounds perfect. Thank you for mentioning it.

Good morning all,

A cloudy but also sunny start to the day here at the moment. I hope to get into the garden to plant a few plants I took as cuttings last year.

So sorry to read you have covid Marydoll and do hope that the medics sort you out quickly and that you don’t feel ropey for long, and are soon back to feeling stronger again.

Welcome, echt. It doesn’t matter that you aren’t a gran. Quite a few of us aren’t.

Take your time, mick and if you feel like a bus trip today, fine, but if you want to give it a miss today, that’s fine too.

I haven’t read all the posts yet, only some, so will go back and catch up after my breakfast.

Take care everyone.

Good morning all from the Black country. Busy busy here this morning 45 posts already. Will read later tummy rumbling needs its breakfast. Shopping today need to get new duvet for spare bedroom such excitement.
Enjoy your day everyone and may you all find some ?.

Good morning to everyone from a dry, clear Yorkshire.

I am sat in my kitchen looking out of the window watching the sheep in the field eat grass and thinking how lucky I am that I'm not a sheep !!!!

Well, today I have hairdressers but not till 3pm so i have decided that I am going to drive to a garden centre nearby and enjoy a coffee and cake ... WHY NOT I tell myself !

Before the coffee and cake takes place, I am going to aim my foot towards the pedal of my sewing machine and strum up another ...... bag !! ( ive that many bags in the drawer it will hardly close hahaha )

Enjoy your day everyone whatever you're doing...

Good Morning everyone, not as bright here as yesterday .
Sorry to see Marydoll has got covid , ?? as requested !
Have a lovely break GrannySomerset
More ?? for grandMatie I hope the driver works better now .

I’ve contacted the Greenhouse seller and they are sending me the missing box of bits ! Great result , now we hope the base gets done today or tomorrow

Good morning from an overcast NE again but it is 10 degrees.
Yesterday the sun managed to put in an appearance in late afternoon and I had some time in the garden.
DD and SIL are coming today and DD will take me shopping, I need to get Easter eggs for GDs who have said they are not too old to enjoy them. I am very grateful to have DD here but she will have to return to Belgium after Easter as SIL is now on the mend but not yet driving.
Oh dear Marydoll, so sorry to hear you caught the dreaded virus. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Thoughts are with your DD kitty, very rapid release from hospital after surgery but hospitals are not restful places.
Thinking of gM and her DH.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x
