Happy Birthday BlueSapphire ??.

Good morning from an almost sunny Leicestershire.

After a lovely weekend it is good to be home in my own bed!
Our little DGS seems fully recovered apart from the stitches in his forehead. 4 year olds are very resilient.
Tea with friends this afternoon.

Hoping all those with troubles feel better soon.

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny Northampton; just thinking about washing the bedding from one of the spare rooms as DGDs are here overnight on Saturday and one of the cats has been sick on the duvet cover.

Also thinking of popping down to M&S food this morning, fancying something nice for dinner as it is my birthday.

Will be going to the well-being cafe after lunch, and taking some of the cake left over from my coffee morning yesterday. There is just too much for me to eat on my own, and I can't freeze it again.

Enjoy the sunshine today!

Morning all.
Thanks to Mick for his opening do hope you begin to feel more yourself very soon.
GMattie how do you keep track of all your coming and goings.So lovely DGC can bring some sunshine to DH they must be a complete joy to you all.
For all those suffering post covid I wish you a speedy full recovery .We have taken our seniors(90+yrs) for their boosters and all 3 have suffered slight side effects for 2/3 days but now thankfully OK. I had mine in Feb with no problems but there is a 20+yr age difference.
Do hope these will be the last as it's quite exhausting arranging appts,wheelchairs and transporting to inj hub, can only take them 1 at a time with round trip of 35miles.
Today it's childcare as ours are still on school hols.Weather looks good so it will be a general play day and maybe nature walk.
Have a full ironing basket which will have to wait I'm afraid.
Enjoy the day doing what pleases you most.Thinking of those with illness and worries.?♥️

Good morning all and it’s a beautiful day ☀️ here In Essex.

Little pooch is due to be groomed at 9.00 so Dh and I might have a wander round Rhs Hyde Hall for an hour or so. Dogs of course not allowed.

Lots of Covid cases around here but fairly mild with no symptoms to speak of. We keep our fingers crossed - that’s all you can do. My Bridge partner had it 2 weeks ago. She’s 90 yrs old , bright as a button and fit as a flea. Back to Bridge yesterday 100%. Amazing lady!

Marydoll sorry to hear of all your worries. ?. You don’t need the extra ‘blips’ .

Baubles - a tough day ahead for you. You can only do what you can! ?.

GG hope all the structural work goes well ?. A ‘fly and flop* might be a good idea to get away from it all. ✈️.

Wishing everyone a gentle day. ???

Sorry to hear things are grim for you at the moment Marydoll ?

Grandmabatty Wed 20-Apr-22 07:45:47

Should say hoe.

Good morning from East Yorkshire. It is 8 degrees and bright.

Finally got my crown fitted yesterday and a bonus there was nothing to pay. My account was in credit by £40. Not sure how that came about.

Today I think I will go in to the city centre and have a browse in TKMaxx. I’ll probably end up with things I never knew I needed!
I’ll have an easy afternoon then this evening I am going to the theatre to see a show with 2 of the ex dancers from Strictly. It’s been postponed several times due to Covid so really looking forward to it.

It took me a while to get over Covid Oops just take your time. Fingers crossed for you Harrigran
Shazza that slide is called the swirly slide by our GS ?

Take care everyone.

Grandmabatty Wed 20-Apr-22 07:44:29

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 2° and lovely blue skies again. It cheers me up.
Marydoll how scunnersome about your crown. I can feel the fed-upness on your post. baubles a hard day ahead for you at the shop face. Mick take care of yourself. It's good that you are getting back out. Ashcombe a lovely wedding to look forward to.
Yesterday I managed to how and weed the drive and sweep it up. I have a long drive of pavours and a matching path, both of which collect moss and weeds in abundance. Although I hate the job, the drive looks much better without its covering.
Today I'll visit mum then go to art class. I'll finish the tulip painting and start something else. Have a good day all.

Good morning from a bright but overcast Colchester. Another mild, dry day. I had to get the watering can out last night.
Wednesday morning coffee meetup as usual.
I'm so glad we moved into town last year as everything is just a short walk away through the beautiful park.
Love to all ? x

ShazzaKanazza Wed 20-Apr-22 07:39:44

Marydoll so sorry you feel so poorly and down. Everything always seems to go wrong at once just to pile more on you. ?

grandMattie Wed 20-Apr-22 07:38:44

Ash! I was born and brought in Mauritius. My mother’s family were all originally from France several generations previously. We spoke mostly French at home, English to dad only, and at school. So we were totally bilingual…

ShazzaKanazza Wed 20-Apr-22 07:34:59

Good morning Mick and everyone from a bright morning in Hull.
I’m sure you’ll soon feel back to your old self Mick.
It was lovely to hear about your family day grandMattie?
Hope you manage not to come down with covid Harrigran.

Today we have DGS again, son is dropping him off on the way to work. We went to a park in the west of the city with a helter skelter type slide. He loved it so I might take him back over this morning while DH is at the gym.
He’s getting taken to Chessington world of adventures and London for a couple of days tonight by his mum so he’ll love that.
Urms really laughed at Matt this morning.
Have a good day everyone if you can and hope our covid warriors feel better soon. ??
