Good Morning Wednesday 20th April 2022

Morning all, from a sunny but chilly Glasgow.

I managed to speak to a very supportive GP yesterday, who who told me she was writing a prescription as we spoke and DH could pick it up immediately.
She is going to phone again on Thursday, as she wants to keep an eye on me. I feel so relieved, I felt quite grim, when I was talking to her.

I hope your daughter is not suffering too much, Chrissielou and glad to hear your family are supporting you GM.

Wishing you all a pleasant day.

As I was writing this, Mr MD brought me a cuppa and my crown has just fallen out. The anti virals have given me such a painful mouth, as other medications have done in the past. No chance of seeing a dentist, as I'm still +ve! ☹
Our burglar alarm has packed up and we have a leak in the shower room, but obviously we cannot have workmen in!
We are also supposed to be going on holiday with DD and SIL next week.
Why is life so blooming hard? I could weep!

Bright but chilly day here in Cheshire.
Meeting friends this afternoon. We'll set the world to rights. If only it would listen !
Great "Matt" today "Urmstongran"

baubles you’ll be glad to get home. ?

Good morning everyone from Inverness where we’ve a clear blue sky and a gorgeous day forecast
Good to hear your family visit is going so well grandmattie
Sounds like you’ll have another very busy day in the shop baubles - hope it goes ok and roll on next week!

I’ll be off for a splash around at the Aqua class later and then across the road for lunch with my pal. I’ve not seen her for a little while so we’ve got lots to catch up on
Hoping everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good morning Mick, morning all from South Lanarkshire where we have bright clear skies still streaked with pink.

Sorry you’re still feeling under par Mick.

Fingers crossed that your day goes to plan Mattie.

I found it takes a while to fully recover Oops.

I hope you’ve dodged it Harrigran.

My last day of covering annual leave, just to finish me off I have no volunteers at all today. I’ll be very pleased to get back to my two days next week.

Thinking of all those still in the sick bay. Wishing everyone the best day possible. ??

Good morning, all, from an overcast Torbay, to which we had a good journey back from Portsmouth yesterday. Thank you for all the supportive wishes. Yes, we were on the M27, Jaxjacky, which was fairly busy so I thought it better to keep both hands on the wheel!

I’m glad you enjoyed your family's visit, grandMattie, and what a thoughtful girl Iris is to teacher her DGD Makaton! Yes, olddudders could understand your point about bonk v banque. Presumably, you had a French parent?

It must be hard for your DD1, losing her hair, Chrissielou. Has she been fitted for a wig by the NHS? A few friends who’ve gone through this found it helpful to wear a cold cap at night, but I expect she has heard about them already. My thoughts are with you.

On arrival home, our spirits were lifted to find an invitation to the wedding of two young folk from our theatre company, who are to be married in July at a village called Dittisham, near Dartmouth.

?for you testing negative, harrigran and I hope you soon feel fully well, Oopsadaisy. This virus shows no sign of diminishing. It’s lucky you are home, Urmstongran and a very apt cartoon! Could Matt be implying that our esteemed civil servants resemble sheep?!

Happy hump day, everyone! ??????

Morning Mick and all

Oh I could do with some Malaga weather Urmstongran I am very tempted to book a fly and flop break

Mick I hope you are back to your normal self soon, enjoy your cycling.

grandMattie trying times, it’s good that your DD and GC are spending time with DH

Off to the gym later, structural engineer team are apparently setting up the laser measuring devices this morning. So the work is finally underway.

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Good Morning everyone from a sunny and bright south coast 7.9c and set to warm up.

DH is out with his bike club today and going to lovely Arundel. He carefully plans different routes for their rides and has a faithful group who like going with him because of that.

Our cleaners are coming today and then I have an empty with several things on my "to do" list which may get done. Or not.

Glad your DH enjoyed seeing the girls Mattie and hope everything goes to plan today with the scheduled visitors.

Have the best day you can everyone.

Here’s Matt!

Good morning everyone from south Manchester. The 6:35am to Liverpool Lime Street has just pulled into the train station. I’m up before the alarm I set (again ha!). Our second day of minding the grandchildren and we were told their lovely childminder has Covid so we will do the school drop off and pick up tomorrow and Friday! It’s handy we don’t fly out to Malaga till Saturday. We can be quite useful when we’re home ...
?

I have a manicure and pedicure booked at the salon at 2pm so I shall leaving grandad in sole charge until their mum gets home - which will be late as she has a senior lead team meeting after work. I’ll let him know as I depart that he’s in charge of tea time! I’m good like that.

Enjoy Wednesday (already?) those who can. x

?? harrigran and Oopsadaisy1

Good morning Michael and grandMattie, a bright start here today.
I hope you’re feeling perkier soon Mick and that your day goes smoothly grandMattie.
I had a good 1:1 dog training session yesterday so there’s plenty of practice needed to drill recall into easily distracted DDog ?
I have to take my car into the garage today, a lovely friend is bringing me back home (no public transport to here from our nearest town 8 miles away?) and another friend will take me to collect it later.
DD and her DDog are popping in sometime, I’ll dog sit while she and DH traipse around the county taking boxes to storage and collecting ‘stuff’.
I hope everyone has a good day today x

Good morning from a misty NE.
I have been awake since 5am when the heating switched on, must have cooled down because it wasn't on at all yesterday.
Got all the bedding washed and dried on the line outside, got the ironing done too.
Sister and BIL are on holiday visiting the GC, only been gone 48 hours when I got a message to say BIL had covid. I now have to test because I was with them all Saturday afternoon and in their car because they took me for my vaccination.
Thoughts are with you grandMattie, I can empathise.

Good morning Mick , Granmattie and all who follow from a dull Oxfordshire. Hope you both have a better day today.

My pile of ironing is falling out of its basket in the airing cupboard so that has to be sorted this morning. then I need to get the runner bean sticks up, let’s hope it stays dry.

Had another ‘sick day’ yesterday, still seem to be suffering from the effects of Covid, I need to get my mojo back!
Hope everyone manages to find things to smile about today and hugs for those who aren’t so chipper.

Good morning from a clear E Kent.
I’m sorry that you’re still feeling under the weather, Mick.
Yesterday went well, except that I thought the cleaner was coming - no, it’s today! And I was expecting a call from the palliative care consultant, but she never called.
The girls were lovely with their granddad; Iris is teaching him Makaton signs because his voice is going. DGD1 was busy setting up the iPhone they have given me.
Today, the cleaner, the consultant (I hope), the solicitor to sign and witness our Wills. I also have a haircut on the books…
With any luck, DH will be taken off the syringe driver today. Good because it’s rather intrusive; sad because we had got used to the daily visit and become fond of the district nurses.
Carpe diem, dear virtual friends. ???????☀️❤️?
