Good Morning Easter Monday 18th April 2022

Good morning all and yes the sun is out again! ☀️. What a lovely Easter we’ve had!

Oh dear! A lot of worrying news this morning. I do hope things improve for everyone! ?.

We have DB1 and his wife coming for coffee this morning and Dh will go to a footie match with DS1 this afternoon!

Have the best day you can! ??

So many worries and mishaps reading this today. All I can say is everyone enjoy the best day you can your a resilient bunch. Love reading your days and events. Take care all.

Good Morning from the Scottish Borders. Such beautiful weather yesterday. I spent the day at Daywick - an Arboretum and Botanical Gardens fairly nearby.
Today I shall be walking near Traquair, an historic house on the Southern Upland way.

Sorry to hear of your painful episode Ash and I hope you make a quick recovery Marydoll

Happy Anniversary Oopsa

Enjoy your day everyone, in whatever way you can.

Good morning all from high cloud in S Hants.
Safe journey to you both Ashcombe with a speedy boarding.
Sounds scary dragonfly I hope your GS is sorted out quickly.
Excellent you have company grandMattie a watching vigil can be very lonely.
We had a lovely family afternoon yesterday, bbq went well, little food was left, we did get the blankets out as it got chilly.
No real plans today, MrJ might go to the driving range, I’ve got seeds to sow and a bit of weeding to do.
Enjoy your bonk holiday Monday ??

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

A bit grey in my part of Oxfordshire this morning. Yesterday was spent gardening and walking in the beautiful sunshine. We've had a lovely long weekend, time spent with DC and GC and wonderful weather too.
Tomorrow is back to normal, DD1 has her 3rd chemo treatment and after dropping her off, I will be back to work.
Wishing you all a happy sunny Bank Holiday Monday.

Good morning from a sunny Oxfordshire, thanks for the good wishes Pantglas first time I’ve forgotten in 51 years! I must be getting old.
So many good news posts this morning , along with some sad ones.
Hope everyone has as good an Easter Monday as they can with some smiles along the way.
Hugs for those who are having a tough time.

Whoops. Pressed post before sending love to all
? x

Good morning from a less sunny than of late Colchester. The temperature is cooling a little.
A quieter day after a hectic family Sunday. Washing is on and we haven't decided what else to do yet.

Marydoll, I'd ring a pharmacy (some are open today) and ask about getting some tablets to tide you over until the surgery opens. It's surprising what a pharmacist can do nowadays.

kitty I hope that’s ‘the 3’ and things settle down now. You must be concerned about your sister in law in the house alone. I hope that situation can be solved today.
?

Good morning. A beautiful sunrise here in the north of Scotland and warm enough for me to have had my morning tea outside.
Family visited this weekend and have just left to head back to work. We had a lovely time and I am happy but tired this morning. I love Easter, church was well attended yesterday. I am so unused to company for the last two years that I find listening and talking quite tiring. First washing is on and will take something out of the freezer for dinner. There are no leftovers as lots of walking made for healthy appetites.
Ashcombe hope you are feeling better. That sounds scary.
I adore France and have my eye on a trip later this year if I am feeling brave enough.
Bellasnana. The staff in baby units always seem hand picked and full of kindness over and above their skills. Special people for special little people.
Marydoll Hope you receive more anti nausea tablets. It is so exhausting for you. I’m sure you’ve tried all the pregnancy (!!!) tricks; dry biscuits, ginger ale, peppermint, turmeric, porridge etc.
GM ?
Have the best day you can everyone.

Good morning all from a dull but dry Black country.
Gardening on the agenda today if it brightens up and also I can see a basket of ironing waving at me.
Safe journey for those travelling, best wishes for anyone celebrating and virtual hugs where needed and may you all find some ?.

Sorry Bellasnana those beautiful photos, such a tiny hand ??

Morning Mick and all

Dragonfly I do hope your DGS is ok, it’s worrying when the little o es hurt themselves.

Ashcombe safe journey, hope you begin to feel better

Oh dear kittylester as they say it never rains it pours.

(((Hugs))) grandMattie I know how hard it is, it will be good to have your DD and family with you for a few days.

The 7 yr old slept over last nigh, DD and The Imp went home, we had a lovely day, mostly spent kn the garden, bouncy castle had its first inflation of the year and the top came off of the tub so there was lots and lots of splashes and much laughter.

A lazy day planned today, and I shall drop hints for a takeaway.

Keep safe and well folks ??‍♀️

Bellasina the picture of the baby hand is just so sweet.
We had a FaceTime with our DS in China yesterday he looks wonderful it’s 3 years since we saw him and have no chance of visits till at least the end of the year. It makes me sad.
Dragonfly what a worry with your little one. ?
Kittylester it’s good to see you back but sorry to hear you have a lot of family troubles at the moment ?

Good morning all from cloudy and damp South Lanarkshire.

Enjoy your afternoon Mick.

Ballasnana your photo of that tiny hand brought a tear to my eyes.

Your poor GS Dragonfly, I hope he’s ok.

Safe trip Ash.

We had a smashing time at DD’s yesterday. Daft dug thought it was Christmas as the younger children rolled their hard boiled eggs down a little slope in the garden and we had to be quick as she tried to catch them. She does love eggs.

We both had a very disturbed night due to DH’s various pains keeping him awake so I’m starting another morning bleary eyed.

I’m not supposed to say such things but I hope work will be quiet. Easter weekend clear outs resulted in 35 bags of donations being handed in on Saturday. Sadly it saves some people doing a run to the tip.

Enjoy your Easter Monday everyone.

No Matt. It’s Monday.

Good morning everyone from south Manchester. We must have ad rain in the night, the decking boards on our little verandah are still damp! We have no sun forecast but we have no plans so it doesn’t matter.

Sorry to hear you had an angina attack Ashcombe it all sounds a bit scary and discombobulating. Pleasant journey home with hopefully, no queues. Oh grandMattie I didn’t realise your husband so sleeping so much every day. The house must be very quiet no wonder you feel lonely. Hopefully your family will cheer you today. Mind those eggshells. dragonfly your poor little boy. What an awful accident to have on Easter Sunday. Good job you’re visiting and can help out. I hope the hospital make him better. x

Morning all from a brightish North Leicestershire.

The forecast is reasonable which is good as we are all going to DD3 - all except DS2 who has to work.

I have been missing for a few days as 'things' have been happening here. DD1 had an emergency visit to hospital as the laxatives weren't working!!

We also heard that DH's brother is in hospital having fallen downstairs leaving his wife, who has dementia, at home alone.

And, DH has hurt his hip!

Sending love and best wishes to everyone who has real problems.

Good morning everyone from a sunny Inverness but it’s a bit cooler and with a few showers forecast later
Safe journey Ash I hope you can settle down and relax in your cabin and you feel fine again soon
Enjoy your time in Conwy Pantglas I remember lots of family holidays in North Wales many many moons ago. I’d love to return sometime to reminisce.
Another day of clearing the garage and pottering in the garden is planned, yesterday we got quite a lot done so I’m carrying on whilst the going is good and the good weather helps of course. I’m hoping to sell my old bike that I don’t use any more and I’m thinking of getting an electric one as the hills around here are too much for me now ? - will see!
Oh no Dragonfy poor lamb, hope the damage isn’t too severe and hoping all goes well
Hope everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good morning from our caravan in Derbyshire . Its looking fairly bright so far.
Lovely to see the new twins are doing well.
I think we are off to a NT property today and later the rest of the family will be making their way home whilst we stay on for a few days.
Thoughts with all who are troubled in any way .

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 8° and damp. Bellasnana those are lovely photos. How precious! Dragonfly what a worry. Poor wee boy. I hope he's ok. Ashcombe safe journey back. I'm sorry to hear that you were unwell.
Yesterday I had a lovely time with dd, sil and the boys. Today I'm doing nothing. I will potter about my wee house and I might do a bit of painting. Pictures that is, not walls! Then again, I might read and watch tv. I'm going to make a huge pot of bolognaise in the slow cooker so I'll have some for dinner. Have a good day all.

Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow, where it's currently 8°C

Nothing to report, yesterday was spent, lying down. What a waste of a day, as we had lovely weather. Its so blooming frustrating. I feel nauseous all the time and my emergency stash of anti nausea pills is dwindling fast. I am having to ration them. Of course it's a bank holiday and the surgery is closed! ☹

Today is freedom day for Mr MD, alleluia! Hopefully his mood will improve. He plans to start clearing out the garage, so I will have a quasi empty! ?

Enjoy your day, folk, safe journey to all, who are travelling and best wishes to all, feeling low for whatever reason.
Pity about your angina attack, Ash, especially on your last day and the fact you have to lie down, after using your spray. It may be worth mentioning it to your cardiologist, when you see him. Thank goodness, all I get is a blinding headache.

Good morning all from sunny Harrogate.
It was a good service yesterday in church, I then excelled myself and walked home (about 1 mile, but mostly uphill). DD2 popped in with Easter eggs and caught me snoozing. DH was in the garden testing his new lawnmower.
Today it’s chatting day to school friend and sisters and DH has organised a zoom call I know not to whom!
Hope to be in Llandudno next week Pantglas we must meet up! Conwy is on our list as well. Will PM you.
Safe journey Ashcombe hope your angina has settled
Have the best day possible folks

Good morning from sunny Brighton.

Up early this morning as 4 year old DGS had an accident in the garden and gouged a big hole in his forehead. The hospital has sent him to a specialist hospital early this morning 45 minutes away. We are looking after our lovely 6 year old DGD.

Hoping every one has a good day.

Good morning from Malta where it has rained during the night and is looking grey and cloudy.

Yesterday was brightened by a long FaceTime chat with DD2 and DGD in Florida. I miss them so much. Never been apart for this long. It’s two and a half years since we were together.

The twins continue to make progress. The nurses had made Easter cards using the babies’ footprints. Such a lovely idea.

Sorry you were unwell yesterday Ash and hope you will feel well enough for your journey today.

Wishing you all the best day possible.☀️
