Good Morning Wednesday 20th April 2022

I meant to say, Baubles, don't over do it today! You will be glad to back to your usual routine.

Good morning Mick and all from Sunnyside northwest coast.
Will be off soon (50miles) for run through for next classical concert with pianist and close friend recovering from a detached retina. Quiche cooking in the oven.
Had a very bad night, tossing and turning even though I had a very enjoyable day yesterday singing at sheltered accommodation. Then cramp attacked me but thank the Lord, the magnesium spray mentioned by a fellow gransnetter stopped it in its tracks, so thank you!
Birthday greetings BlueSapphire thoughts to GM and all with worries ???

Good morning Mick and everyone. Glorious sunshine in my corner of Lancashire, currently 12°C.

Sorry you’re not feeling too good Mick, have a restful day today. Hope today goes well GrandMattie.

I spoke to a lovely GP yesterday, my previous uric acid test showed it was very high so he is starting me on a new medication to lower it and has also prescribed more colchicine as the new med can cause a flare up until things settle down. I was a bit surprised as I’d previously been told my uric acid was normal! I will need a blood test after a month to see if it’s working or if the dose will need adjusting. So today’s outing will be a trip to the surgery to collect the blood test forms and a trip to the pharmacy to collect the meds. That’s another addition to my repeat prescription but if it prevents the dreadful pain I’m happy to take it ?

Mr.B has been to the supermarket for our weekly shop and the bakery for our weekly order so I will put things away as soon as I finish my tea.

Home safe Ashcombe, I’m about halfway through’Dead in Devon’, such a lot of plot twists.

Waving to FannyC ?? and a big {{{hug}}} to Marydoll.

Happy Birthday BlueSapphire.

Great news about the little one dragonfly.

No gardening for you for a day or 2 Ekwa.

Hope all our Covid warriors are not feeling too poorly and -ve tests are not too far off.

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

Holly I need to type faster, I didn’t see your post . Enjoy your meeting with your friend, a detached retina sounds most unpleasant.

EkwaNimitee take it very easy today. Sometimes our minds are willing but our bodies aren’t. ?

Good Morning to you all from a bright, dry, day in Cambs.,
Our garden is needing rain, & our local farmers are getting worried about crops in need of watering.

Warm Birthday wishes for BlueSapphire.

Sorry that several of you have more health worries, both for yourselves & your families, my thoughts are with you.

I think it's the Makaton sign language the Mr Tumble, (Justin Fletcher?) does? Our sn DGD, now nearly 13, was recommended to watch & learn, (10 years ago, & is still a fan!!).

Warm thoughts for you all,

Another sunny day in East Lothian. DGSs just having breakfast and still in their dressing gowns as have been having their morning ‘screen time’. Mum & Dad are at work - DSiL had to go into the office for the first time in months so Matt cartoon very apt Urmstomgran. I hope we can get the boys out - I am in search of a bluebell wood as I didn’t get to see any bluebells down south before we left and they will be over by the time we’re back. I can’t miss this annual ritual, the scent and colour are so wonderful.

Marydoll, glad someone is keeping an eye on you and hope you will feel better soon. Hope for the same for Blossomimg, Oopsadaisy, Mick, Ekwanimite and others suffering from pain or loss of ooomph. for all of you and Grandmattie and family.

Good morning all from a sunny north of Scotland. Lots of lambs in the neighbouring fields and catkins on the trees.
Kind thoughts to those of you with and post Covid and who are caring for others. Try and find time to look after yourselves too.

I hope that you soon feel a bit better Mick. I sympathise with you Marydoll, it is horrible when everything makes things worse. Do you have any cracked crockery that you could throw and smash? Sounds crazy but I do save any chipped or cracked plates and when I feel totally fed up get quite a buzz out of smashing them (of course you have to clear it up afterwards but think it is worth it!) good to read all your posts and I am putting off starting the pile of ironing, but it has got to the point where I shall have to make a start. Looks bright ousidet but was very cold when I went outside so at least this will be a warming job without putting any heating on! At least you do see a good result from doing the job and I can still enjoy radio 3 whilst I iron. Hope everyones day improves .

Take it easy EkwaNimitee that sounds distressing.
Glad the spray is working hollysteers MrJ sings its praises regularly.

Madelaine, I have already used up all the cracked crockery! ?

A rather late good morning from me today. I’ve been up and about, even posted on another thread earlier, but then got busy with changing the bedding and hoovering around.
Stopped for a coffee and 5, so thought I’d better post whilst thinking about it ?. Haven’t read everyone else’s posts yet, but thought I’d better hurry and post before mid day! Take care everyone. Will read your posts now.

Happy birthday BlueSapphire ????

Good morning from a bright but very windy morning in the Algarve. Sorry to hear that so many of you are feeling even worse than usual. I think the thought of clearing up shards of crockery would make me definitely feel worse than just letting loose with it.

Special thoughts for grandMattie and family. ?

Oh, I meant to say Happy Birthday to BlueSapphire. ?
