Good Morning Saturday 23rd April 2022

Good morning all from a chilly, wet Algarve. Apparently this year has been the driest since 1931!

I hope it’s warmer round the corner in the Med Urms, safe journey.

I think nausea is the worst side effect of all Marydoll, although depending on how much worse my hair shedding (side effect of hip pain medication) gets I might revise that opinion.

Good morning all, Best wishes to those with sadness or illness.?
Teethgate continued ……..after three months yesterday got ‘replacement’ of gnashers where bridge fell out end of Jan , several extractions, took a while because , taking blood thinners , X-rays, and various impressions. Result brilliant, Ican smile/grin again. All NHS. ( couldn't ever have afforded private)and kindness , Grandchild's wedding in few weeks so will be there with big. ? I hope.

I bought these lovely sandals from Next.
I’m going to try and sneak them into Himself’s grip bag now while he’s out!

Gosh, that’s lovely hollysteers, I wish my attempts were half as good as yours!
It’s overcast and blowy here in Wiltshire, quite a chilly breeze. At least the washing will dry.
DDog is much brighter today after her op on Thursday, I can see us struggling to keep her quiet in a few days!
I have done a heap of ironing and put it all away, set the slow cooker up with a beef casserole for later and tidied up a bit.
I feel a bit lethargic after a messy week, perhaps I will sit and read later after DDog has been back to the vets for a checkup.
Have a lovely weekend everyone x

Goodness hollysteers that’s an amazing picture! You’re very talented and you can sing too. I have no skills whatsoever but much admire them in others!

Still cloudy here.
Where's summer gone?

Hollysteers your painting is lovely. I really like your use of shadow too.

hollysteers your painting is beautiful. You should get it printed and turned into notelets - I'm sure they would sell well.

Good morning all, and it's sunny and blowy on the Angus coast again. It's so lovely when it's like this, and the garden is beginning to really come alive now. My lovely gardener is here this morning, along with his 14yo grandson who cuts the grass. It's wonderful to watch the two of them working together - a lovely relationship. Tomorrow I am planning to meet my daughter in Perth for lunch - and a foray into the M&S food hall for me! DD is on a long training walk today in preparation for the Aberdeen Kilt Walk (marathon length) which she is undertaking this summer in aid of WAY (Widowed And Young). I think she'll be grateful for a leisurely day tomorrow with her Mum! Lovely bluebells Gingster - so glad the news is good for your DD. And I have serious foot envy Urms and Jax - least said of mine the better! Have a lovely weekend everyone and hugs for those going through hard times x

Not much happening here in cloudy Leicestershire but just wanted to pop in and say that I am so pleased your DD had such good news Gingster!

That’s pretty hollysteers.

Good morning Mick and all and a happy St. George’s Day from a bright northwest coast.
Glad to be home all day after a busy day singing etc yesterday including a long walk. I’m going to take more exercise after a winter slump. The pigeons are mating outside this window…
I need to contact my tv man as can’t record anything and miss it.
Thoughts to grandMattie and anyone with worries.
Painted this yesterday:

A late good morning from sunny Colchester. I had a lie in after a late night and a few drinks.
I am now preparing for the arrival of DGSs for a overnight stay so that their parents can go out.
Love to all ???????? x

Good morning Mick and everyone. It’s sunny in my corner of Lancashire, currently 12°C. it’s very windy and noisy and I am still in bed after a disturbed night.

No real plans for today. I’m feeling listless and sleepy so will take it as a comes. I’m also feeling nauseous Marydoll, you have my sympathy. I’m hoping it’s down to the change in my meds and will wear off soon

Happy St. George’s Day ❤️????????, I hope it stays fine for all planning a picnic or walk and safe journey to all travelling.

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

Good Morning from N.Cambs., where the sun is trying to shine.
Happy St.,Georges Day, our flag is up & fluttering in the keen breeze.

I'm pleased you've enjoyed our great county, cornergran, (also my beloved neighbouring Norfolk).

Safe travels & happy holidays to several of our friends on here.

It's good that you are feeling up to getting back to your normal routine, Mick, take care, "one step at a time".

Great for you to have had your family visiting, grandMattie, don't worry about that piercing, one in ear doesn't sound too bad, thank goodness it's not nose or eye-brow. (having said that, I'm not a fan of piercings & tattoos).
Whoops!! I've had my ears pierced for 60 years! since I was 16.

Warm thoughts for you all, especially those with extra worries.

Brilliant news for your daughter Gingster
Snap Urmstongran although yours will see far more sun that mine yet.

Good morning from the NE where it was sunny an hour ago but no longer. Yesterday was bright with quite a wind chill.
I put my new yard broom to good use and swept the front lawns, got rid of the sycamore seeds which would germinate if left.
Family will visit this afternoon.
grandMattie, know what it feels to be waiting for phone calls or visits from medial staff, the number of no shows was unbelievable. One nurse visited and said as she left " see you next week ", it was four months before they turned up again.

Good morning Mick and everyone from an intermittently sunny Carlisle where showers threaten. I actually hope we get one or two as it will save me going out with the hose.
I saw the nurse practitioner at the surgery yesterday re my prolapse. Now I am on a regime of pelvic floor exercises for a couple of months to hopefully tighten up my flabby interior. Then we will re-assess. I've always tried to keep myself fit and toned but never thought of that area!
Envious of your toes Urmston. They are straight! Mine are bent disgraces that do not need drawing attention to with nail polish. Happy holidays to you. It's time I thought of a return to my favourite country.
I shall be gently pottering through the day doing light jobs and finishing off some boring admin. I'm also planning to brush up my Spanish which has got rusty from disuse now I'm not spending winters in Spain.
Have a pleasant weekend everyone and wishing better times for all the poorly.

Good morning from a cloudy South Yorkshire. We returned from Cyprus very early Thursday morning and it's taken me a couple of days to recover ha ha. However did manage to set some seeds yesterday and walk down to our local nature reserve to see the blue bells and wild garlic. Makes me so happy ?
Today I shall venture into town I think and can put off food shopping no longer so will call at the supermarket.
Love to all and have a good day xx

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Gingster lovely news from your daughter. Onwards and upwards !!

We go away next Saturday so coffee will have to wait til we get back in June. Looking forward to catching up with you and GG xx

Good morning everyone from a sunny south coast.

I need to stop my outside tap from leaking just above the hose connection so hopefully some self adhesive stretchy tape that I’ve successfully used before will do the trick for now. It needs a new fitting but I don’t have a strong enough grip to unscrew the old one which has rusted. I can’t ask DSiL as they’re up to their necks unpacking!

Tomorrow morning I’ll go round and cook Sunday lunch for everyone. Taking a large apple crumble with me which I will bake this afternoon.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable and trouble free weekend.

So pleased for your DD Gingster ?

Those Bluebells are glorious Ginster the ones in our garden are barely in bud.
You have such pretty feet Urmstongran
Enjoy your reunion with your GC Granmadinosaur and your show tonight.
