Good morning from a grey NE where it has been raining overnight.
Washing machine was playing up yesterday which extended the length of time it took me to do the laundry dry but I did get it all washed and ironed.
SIL is coming today to take me shopping, will be a small one as neither of us can lift any great weight.
Losing a ring is very sad, I do hope it turns up in a pocket maybe. My sister lost a ring and it turned up in the pocket of a linen jacket a year later because it was only worn for a special event. DH lost his wedding ring and we emptied the garden bin on the patio and it was among the prunings from the rose bushes.
Thoughts are with gM and family.
Those on holiday or celebrating, enjoy your day ?

Good Morning all from the rather damp Scottish Borders.
I planted 2 trees yesterday so am pleased that the rain watered them.
One was an oak tree, grown from an acorn for my late DH, the other is an apple tree, grafted by me at a workshop last weekend. They are both very small.
I hope the ring turns up Urms
I hate losing things.

It's DS3 birthday today -

Thoughts for grandMattie and what a champ her little Iris is!
Have a lovely Spring day everyone.

Happy Star Wars day from another dull overcast morning in Northampton. Getting fed up with this weather, and unable to put winter clothes away, just in case.

A morning of pottering about the house, then off to the well-being cafe this afternoon, taking my knitting. Making a cardigan for one of the old ladies, and I must really get on with it. Will try and plant the new ceanothus when I get back; didn't feel up to it yesterday after a long health walk, and then I decided to walk home, which was another half hour.

Thoughts with grandMattie today; the trees will be a lasting memorial to your dear son.

Good luck at the dentist Marydoll; I had a crown replaced just before the first lockdown, had to go private for it as they wouldn't replace it on the NHS. Luckily my dentist has been doing routine appointments for a year now, and I have already had two check-ups, another one due in a couple of weeks.

Hope you find your mum's ring, Urmston. I was distraught when I lost one of the diamond studs that DH bought me. Retraced my steps and searched high and low. I eventually claimed on the insurance, who had a new one made, but it wasn't the same. Happy ending though! Youngest DGD found it when she was playing on the floor, tucked.between the carpet and the skirting board. I was so happy.

Happy anniversary, Pantglas - have a lovely day.

May the Fourth be with everyone today!

Sorry about the bikini emoji Grannmarie I don’t know where that came from ?

Stilllearning Wed 04-May-22 08:37:11

Just thoughts and ? for Grandmattie and her DH and family today ???

Grandmadinosaur Wed 04-May-22 08:36:23

I forgot to say Happy Anniversary Pantsglas. Have a lovely day.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's damp and looks like it'll be wet on and off all day. A difficult day for you Grandmattie. My thoughts are with you. Urms I hope the ring turns up.
I have included a photo of the new bed with dinosaur bedding Ashcombe ? I expect your dgs would be happy too. I have put up dinosaur decals and dgs1 could name every one. The bedroom is set up for both boys as the cot is in the corner with baby stuff. Dgs1 was delighted with it as he was round for a while yesterday. It'll evolve as they grow. My oven was fixed yesterday too and it was much cheaper than having to buy a new one!
Today I'm house bound as the oven man is coming back for his money. He doesn't do bank transfers. So I'll go out to the hole in the wall shortly. Art isn't on this week because of the local elections. The hall is used. So a quiet day for me. It's been a good start as I slept quite well too. I'm going to do a bit of life drawing in pencil from a photo. Meatballs and spaghetti for dinner. Have a good day all.

Condolences, Hollysteers. .flowers

Grannmarie Wed 04-May-22 08:26:42

Good morning, Mick, good morning all, from rainy Ibiza...hopefully it will brighten up later.

Thank you Shazza, DH and I are having a leisurely breakfast, responding to birthday wishes from family and friends. We're going out for celebratory brunch, then a curry at the Marina this evening, his favourite!
We're having a family gathering on our return.

Safe travels, Grandmadinosaur and best wishes to all on their holidays.

Sending love and prayers ? ?, Grandmattie, on this special day, thinking of you and your family, as you remember Philip together.

Thinking of those with worries, illness or sorrow.

Wishing everyone the best Star Wars Day possible, May the Fourth be with you.?

Gingster Wed 04-May-22 08:08:19

Good morning all and we have had rain here in Essex.
Dh was going fishing today but it looks a bit damp for that now. ?.

GM thoughts with you today. ?

GG - what an extreme reaction ! Your poor DD! I do hope the steroids sort out the problem ?.

Happy anniversary mr and Mrs Pants. ?.

Not much on today but I might walk up to the town market.

This evening I’m joining a U3A choir which I’m really looking forward to. Great to have a sing along and it lifts the spirits. ?.

Wishing you all a great day! ???

Georgesgran Wed 04-May-22 08:05:57

Good morning from Durham. A Dentist appointment for me today too Marydoll.
Urms we were burgled many years ago and my Mum’s engagement ring was stolen along with other things. It still upsets me, as she gave it to me several years before she died. Hope your ring turns up.
A difficult day for GM and her DH, an inspiration to everyone - may it go smoothly ?.
Best wishes to those feeling under the weather or looking after others who are. X

Good morning from damp Leicestershire.
- rain at last!

Happy Anniversary Pantglass.
So sorry you lost the ring Urms. My mum lost hers but I found it years later on the wardrobe floor when I was clearing out their bungalow.

I hope your DD recovers very soon GG it is very worrying for you.
And GrandMattie such a sad day for you, my thoughts are with you and sending gentle hugs.

Sar53 Wed 04-May-22 07:52:02

Good morning from a very grey and chilly Bram. Yesterday started off warmish but we had rain in the afternoon.
Not sure what's on the cards today.
My thoughts are with GM today ? and anyone else who is poorly or who has poorly family.
Thinking of you all, much love xx

Hoping your DD improves soon GG13 such a worry but hopefully the steroids will help things
Today I’m off to the Aqua class at the gym and then a much needed food shop.

Good morning Mick and everyone from a cloudy dry Hull.

I woke thinking of you grandMattie and the difficult day to come for you all. I really can’t begin to imagine how I would be feeling today you will be in my thoughts all day?
You really are an inspirational family. Iris is a star such an amazing girl⭐️

Happy anniversary Pantglas hope you and Mr P enjoy a lovely day together?

I’m sorry you’ve lost your mums ring Urms I really hope it turns up ?

Wishing Grannmarie’s DH a very happy 70th birthday today??

GrannyGravy hoping your DD recovers swiftly from her severe allergic reaction. I only saw your post on GM last night.

Happy travels to Granmadinosaur and DH.

Ash I got my medication review for a week today over the phone. Today I’m going to ring the dentist to see if they are doing routine check ups yet. I broke my tooth in 2020 and haven’t been able to get it sorted yet.
Take care everyone hope Wednesday brings reasons to smile??

BlueBalou Wed 04-May-22 07:35:55

Good morning everyone from a little corner of Wiltshire.
DDog got her all clear yesterday so we’re back to normality here thank goodness!
It’s a chilly start here but the forecast looks promising- we’re off to northwest Wales at the end of the month and I am hoping for good weather because the DGCs are coming too! It will be a houseful ?

cornergran Wed 04-May-22 07:34:55

Morning Mick, morning All from a cloudy corner of Somerset.

Reasonable day yesterday including a gentle walk, hoping for another today after the grocery delivery and some much needed dust removal.

I too know that sick feeling urms, try to be kind to yourself. Thinking of you all today grandmattie and congratulations to Iris on fundraising. Congratulations also to Mr and Mrs Pantglas, celebrate well this evening.

Hope Wednesday is kind to us all.

Grandmadinosaur Wed 04-May-22 07:34:27

Good morning from East Yorkshire and happy Star Wars day.

I’m a sleepyhead today after a non stop day yesterday.

Today I shall be packing for our departure tomorrow and a last minute pamper getting my body beach ready. ?. This afternoon we leave for an overnight stay at a hotel close to the airport.

A sad day GM but also positivity to come out of it with the fund raising.

Happy Anniversary pantglas and Mr P.

Hope your review gets things sorted Shazza

Take care everyone.

Looks like an Ale-Hop shop Pittcity?

Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow, where it's 11°C, not a great weather forecast today. Happy anniversary to the Pants. ? I absolutely love Cordoba! ?

Urms, what a shame about the wedding ring, I still.l have my mums', but sits in my own wedding ring pouch, I would never get it over my swollen, fat fingers!

GM, I hope today isn't too sad for you, it's also my daughter's 38th birthday. A poignant day for me, as I had a miscarriage, but there was no bed available for me in the cottage hospital for an op. I was sent to the large maternity hospital, where they decided to do a scan. To my absolute joy, I hadn't lost my baby, but I spent most of my pregnancy in hospital on bed rest, not easy with two toddlers! It was suggested, I might have been carrying two babies. She was born prematurely and had such a difficult start to life.
I couldn't wish for a better daughter, despite the fact that we drive each other mad! A serious clash of personalities, but she has the softest and kindest of hearts. ?

Lots of worries about DDs here, I hope this is a better day for all of them and their mums.

Ash, the same thing happened to me. My cardiologist wrote to my GP, advising him that I needed to change one of my heart meds ASAP. He sent me a copy, to ensure I could chase it up. A week after receiving the letter, I had heard nothing, so I phoned the surgery. My GP called me that afternoon and asked me why I wanted to speak to him! ?
The new prescription was written there and then and he started phoning me weekly, to check. It may be worth chasing it up. If there is one thing I have learned during the pandemic, it is to be proactive!

I have the dentist today, to deal with the crown, which fell out. I suspect that it will be an expensive business, since the crown is old and tired ( just like me!) I hate going to the dentist, but between my autoimmune conditions, and a reaction to my heart meds, my mouth is causing me grief. ( but it hasn't affected my ability to talk ?). I would rather stay in bed and hide under the covers, but that is not going to solve anything!!!

I wish you all the best of days, especially if you have plans and for those with mountains to climb, I hope they become gentle slopes. ?

Ladyleftfieldlover Wed 04-May-22 07:28:41

Morning all from West Oxfordshire and May the fourth be with you! I have a WI coffee morning first thing. Not what I ever imagined doing once upon a time but they’re good fun! Later I have an early evening Committee meeting and afterwards OH and I are going for a Steak Night at one of our favourite restaurants. ??? to lots of you.

Pittcity Wed 04-May-22 07:16:35

Good morning and happy Star Wars day from rainy Colchester. The first rain of any note for weeks just as I had holiday washing to dry.

I have to wait in for Evri to collect a parcel, so may have to miss the Wednesday meetup. DH is fishing so I'll use the empty to catch up on TV and chores.

Saw the pictured in a shop in Lisbon and thought of you all.

Hugs to GM and GGflowers

Happy Anniversary to the Pantglaseswine

Love to all ? x
