Good Morning Thursday 14th April 2022

Good morning from Durham. It’s very grey, but I haven’t been outside yet. Feeling s bit groggy this morning as I was doing an email through to 3am this morning, then was unable to get to sleep until 5am and only for a couple of hours.
I’ve DD2s older dog here, but took the crazy youngster home on Tuesday. He’s no bother and at 13 sleeps quite a bit of the day.
Interesting posts today - some good news, some not so good. Isn’t life a patchwork in progress?
A leisurely day today - coffee with a friend at her house as she awaits a JL delivery. Dog walk, ironing and perhaps a bit of gardening later.
Have a good day. X

Oh no Marydoll hope all goes well at hospital .welcome to all new posters. Hope your daughter is feeling a bit better today Kitty it's a very emotional journey she is on .Have a good day everyone .

Good morning from a sunny W Kent. Off to group today a lot of chat and very little painting I expect as this is the last one before an Easter break. DD2 is picking me up for quick shopping trip later I hope.
Marydoll so sorry you have caught the wretched bug, good luck at the hospital.
So many ups and downs so best wishes to all.

Good morning Mick, good morning and welcome echt and mak27 and good morning all the rest from dry Anglesey where the sky is a whiter shade of pale.
Great news Scentia, such a relief for you all.
So much going on this morning hard to single out anyone without missing someone. Wishing you all a good day with Easter bonnets, missing ballet class, minding grandchildren, art classes, reading a good book, looking after the sick, flooring the sewing machine, whatever you’re doing.
Speedy recovery to all covid warriors, special thoughts with Marydoll, you’re in good hands and I wish you well.
Keep on looking for and appreciating those random pink flamingos everyone
????????

I see I’m a page three girl again

Good Morning to you all from a bright, mild Cambs.,

Sorry to hear that you have Covid, Marydoll, I hope the anti-virals are successful. Also hoping that you, & others on here recover from CV soon.

What a roller- coaster of emotions you & your DD have Scentia.

kittylester, I hope your daughter makes good progress in her recovery. ( I AM old enough, & waiting for 2nd booster of CV vaccine)!!.

Have a good holiday, dragonfly, Also Merlot & others who are away for Easter, enjoy your time away.

Warm wishes to you all, especially those with extra worries.

Come on then, Laura, bare all! ?

Thank you all for your kind words.
I am already on a drip and so far, so good. I have had exceptional treatment from lovely staff. The doctor read my notes and said, "Oh dear!" ?
I always have a typed list of allergies and all my meds handy. It makes life so much easier and speeds things up. She was most impressed and asked if I was a teacher, by any chance. I wonder why!
An added bonus, a parking space at the door!

Ooooh, LauraNorderr, !! .

This is early for me.! I'm often too late for this thread, but I always try to read, such lovely folk on here.

Welcome to all the newcomers.

Good morning Mick and everyone. It’s sunny and bright in my corner of Lancashire this morning, currently 7°C.

You’ve managed it once Mick, you will manage it again. See how you feel, no need to rush it.

Reading in the garden sounds like a good plan Ashcombe. I will look up your friend’s books.

How odd that your DH felt better without the drugs, hope you have a peaceful day Grandmattie.

So very sorry you have Covid Marydoll. Will keep everything crossed for you and MrMD.

Love the bonnet Gagagran, sure to raise a smile!

Best wishes to you and your daughter Kitty. Lovely new for your daughter Scentia.

Hope you get a -ve test soon Jax.

Welcome to this friendly thread Echt and Mak27.

Yesterday’s lunch with BiL was such fun, we’ve agreed we must do it again soon. I’m rather tired today but no pressing things to deal with. I’ll just pooter along at my own pace. The physio exercises are working so shall keep on with those.

My morning cuppa is all gone and my meds are taken so I guess I’d better leave my comfy bed now. I do enjoy a gentle start to the day, propped up on pillows reading your posts and sipping my tea.

Thinking of all our grans going through difficult times. Wishing everyone the best day possible

Good morning Mick and everyone from a mild and sunny Carlisle.
The landscapers are currently here and are laying slabs down for paths now that I have finally decided where I want them. I'm very pleased with their timing as it now means I can spend the holiday finishing off the infrastructure and buying more plants, some perennials this time.
I'm resting up today as I still feel a bit wobbly after my venesection...it takes an ageing body longer to recover! I do have a dental checkup in town this afternoon though. I've been waiting ages for it in spite of it being a private dentist too.

Good luck Marydoll, I'll be thinking of you. The medics seem to have you properly in hand so that's a good start.

Welcome to all you newbies, keep posting!
And happy holidays to everyone, hoping those of you unwell/with problems have some better times.

Not a pretty sight gMattie, I import my bra from the German factory Disselstopumfloppin, couldn’t possibly remove it in public.

Lauranorderr ??? Love the 'german' factory name!!

A bit grey here this morning but very mild. So sorry to hear you've succumbed to covid Marydoll but I'm sure you will be well looked after, so much progress has been made with treatment plans now and medics have treated many very vulnerable patients since the start of the pandemic. Better to catch it now than at the start.
I've been thinking of you kittylester and your DD and amazed to hear she is home already. As each day passes she will recover a little more, my best wishes to her.
A lively and wonderful day yesterday spent with GC, baking Easter treats, walking dog and playing games. Having a long awaited hair appointment today, I may be some time
Wishing you all a good day with many smiles.

Good morning I am a regular reader of this thread and want to add my best wishes to Marydoll .
I am glad to hear you are having the best care now you are Covid positive. X

LauraNorderr you make me chuckle. Please send a link for that factory - I need one!

LauraNorderr that made me laugh sounds like you could give Sam Fox a run for her money. ?

Good morning everyone from a dull and dreary Oxfordshire, Alexa tells me it’s 10 degrees outside, I’ll take her word for it as I’m too tired to wander out. Post Covid tiredness and still unwell but testing negative.
I have a pile of ironing that needs to be done, but the ironing fairies are nowhere to be seen. I wonder where they go?
Marydoll get well soon????our prayers are with you and everyone who sick family to look after.
Shopping delivery tonight, forgot it was Easter (idiot that I am) so I was lucky to get one.
Hope everyone has as good a day as is possible.

Hope you have Covid mildly Marydoll

Good morning Mick and all from a sunny northwest coast.
Firstly Thoughts to all our sick or worried posters ? will read through properly later.
Sent some Easter cards. Last year I painted a pile, but have been under the weather with bad stomach now settling.
I might have a walk in the sand dunes, but feel unenthusiastic.
Wondering when to visit my close friend who is still having problems after detached retina 50 miles away. Drive or bus?
Have as good a day as you can.

So sorry forgot to welcome the Newcomers, welcome to you all.?

Good morning from slightly sunny Middlesex. I enjoyed my slow day yesterday, reading and sorting some photos.

Today I am having my hair done then a late lunch with my parents and my brother .

I will catch up on the thread later.

Good morning from sunny Cyprus. We arrived late last night so a tad tired but pleased to be here ??
Marydoll hope all goes well at the hospital and you are soon on the mend.
