Good Morning Everybody ,
Its light ,and a clear sky here in brackley this morning .
I am in 2 minds whether to go to Bicester later , or have a day in .
I would rather gradually start to use the buses but at my pace .
Take Care,
Mick

sorry to hear you have the wretched covid Marydoll and hope that they find the right medicine for you quickly.I am only reading this late this evening as had to be out for most of the day. Got back to find result from diabetic eye check and as my eyes had been all puffed up with this swelling when she did it was a bit worried , but grateful that it is ok so can breathe again and carry on driving, but my regular eye test is due now too. There always seems to be some bit of mee needing checks, However it has been a sunny day and quite breezy and much less cold than the last two and have enjoyed the lovely daffodils everywhere and on my way to a friends house there was a long stretch of grass covered in dandelions which also looked bright and cheerful - so long as they are not near your gardens they can look lovely. There was blossom on the trees and a bit of greenery at last and that was cheering to see. Fingers crossed for better weather to come . Hope you all have a better day tomorrow

Not a bad days work.

Aw grannyfranny4 what a lovely post!

Hello mulberry7, your family must be relieved that the Ukrainian family are safe with them.

You need to take it easy Hollysteers hope you feel better soon.

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

Ha ha Laura ? there’s a Welsh bra maker for more mature and well endowed ladies at Llandud-down-by-Mynees..?

Good to hear of good news in the sick bay, keep it coming and hope you’re all blessed by the Easter bunny x

Marydoll Thu 14-Apr-22 13:03:26

Home, safe and sound! Feeling rubbish and extremely sleepy, but very hopeful!! Thank you all for the prayers and messages.

Welcome to all the newbies.

Afternoon mulberry7 and welcome ?

mulberry7 Thu 14-Apr-22 12:55:49

Good afternoon, all. I came on this forum by chance, and how happy I am that I did. My grandson is half-Ukrainian, and now has gained his Ukrainian babooshka and dyadushka in his household; they are so happy to have escaped Zhitomyr and to be playing Lego and dinosaurs with their grandson; he has gained so much by having them to live with him.
I love reading about everyone here. I'm a house plant addict myself, from Wicklow, Ireland. Thank you, all, for being you.

mamaa Thu 14-Apr-22 11:32:07

As I’m still in time I’ll say Good Morning to all and send get well vibes to those feeling a ‘bit under the weather’ as my Mum would’ve said.
flowers for those of us who’d like some and ?? for those of us poorly or worried.
Sorry to hear your news Marydoll but you seem to be getting whats required to send Covid packing and I hope its only a mild form.
I’ve turned my house into a laundrette with all this lovely weather- my washer’s not stopped. Only problem now is my ironing basket is rather full!
A random ?? or two for all and enjoy the day if you can.

grannyfranny4 Thu 14-Apr-22 11:15:29

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.

Oopsadaisy1 Thu 14-Apr-22 10:45:46

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

hollysteers Thu 14-Apr-22 10:44:28

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.

Scapa1 Thu 14-Apr-22 10:38:06

Hope you have Covid mildly Marydoll

Oopsadaisy1 Thu 14-Apr-22 10:35:00

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.

ShazzaKanazza Thu 14-Apr-22 10:18:04

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

TillyTrotter Thu 14-Apr-22 10:10:24

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!

Chrissielou Thu 14-Apr-22 10:09:10

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 grin
Wishing you all a good day with many smiles.

Grandmabatty Thu 14-Apr-22 10:06:40

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