Good Morning Wednesday 11th May 2022

Good morning from Shropshire.A rainy day forecast.

We have had a couple of weeks of one or other of us being unwell but both feeling better now??H is on the mend too??and DGD is back to school after having chickenpox.

Today DH is starting on his decorating plan.Sunny days will be spent in the garden and rainy days will be spent decorating.

Thinking of all unwell and all with worries about family members.

Safe travels to all on the move today.

??

Good Morning Mick and everyone from a damp showery morning in Hull.

My mum spent 2 hours shredding the other day Mick she found a load of letters and bills many years old.

grandMattie ? sorry your in pain with gout my dad suffers with it and on top of everything else going on like you say it’s the last thing you need.

Safe journey home Urms had a laugh from Matt again.

Hope everything goes well Momb and your guests settle in quickly.

Enjoy your final day on hols Grandmadinosaur. I’m sure DGS will love his gift.

Waiting in for my medication review phone call and picking up DGS. Hope it dries up later so he can play in the garden.

Take care everyone and enjoy your day if you can??

Good Morning all, its so busy on here today.
Welcome to Ali23, I haven't noticed you on the thread before, I hope you and the other newbies continue to post.

Without meaning to sound patronising, Mumofmadboys, what a generous spirit and kind heart you have, opening up your home. I am in awe of you, being so proactive. Not an easy road ahead for that poor family and some adjusting for you and yours.
I wish you all well.

I'm pretty tired after yesterday's hospital visit and my efforts at co-ercing DH to buying new chinos and actually trying them on, to see if they fitted.
There were three wives (including me) all sitting outside the M&S changing rooms, putting the world to rights, while waiting for the grumpy old men to emerge.

Just as I sat down after dinner to relax, we had a surprise visit from DD and SIL. They had been viewing a house in the next village and were keen to share their news (and even more junk for our garage)!
DD was quite outraged at the elderly owner asking if she was pregnant, when she is not. I stupidly offered some chocolate brownies with her cuppa, which she adamantly refused. The diet was starting there and then!

They then dropped the bombshell that they are moving in next Friday. It was at this point, I had an attack of the vapours! ?
Due to having Covid and still feeling permanently exhausted and out of sorts, I have put off emptying my clothes from the spare room. In addition, there is nowhere to put things, such as my winter clothes, as the loft is full of THEIR stuff and MR Mdoll, is refusing to put anything else up there. He says the ceilings will collapse!

Corner, good luck with the dentist, I can empathise. My RA is now affecting my jaw, it is painful and annoyingly clicks all the time, but unfortunately, it has not affected my ability to witter on! ? I hope you have a painless visit and that your dentist can find a solution.

GM, praying that you and your husband have a gentle day and to Urms and anyone else travelling today, safe journey.
I'm off to the hairdresser, I hope to come out, looking twenty years younger or at least have the annoying bits sorted.
Of course, the best part of all, will be hearing all the local gossip.?

After waiting three weeks, we at last have a visit from an engineer to fix our house alarm. He is snowed under, because there is so much building work going on here. The fields are very quickly giving way to new housing, but there is such a shortage here, it has to be done..

Wishing you all a pleasant day and that the unwell DDs are not suffering too badly.

Good morning from a grey skied Colchester. Another rainy day with sunny bits.
Wednesday morning coffee meetup in town as usual.
Love to all ? x

Urms thanks for the recommendation. I will have a look and see if either of us fancy reading it.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 9° with blue skies. It's still a bit breezy after the stormy weather yesterday. Mumofmadboys good luck with your visitors. I hope everything goes well. Edinburgh airport is very expensive. I know to my cost. Safe journey home Urms.
Yesterday was an irritating one. It ended up with my little greenhouse being blown over. It's past repair, as are the tomato plants,I'm sure. I caught up with friends at the cinema to see the new Downton film. It was ok, if not very cheerful!
Today I will visit mum, then art class for a couple of hours. I might have a nap later as I had a bad night's sleep again. It feels like the fates are conspiring to make me grumpy but I'm fighting against it. Have a good day all.

ChristieLou sorry to hear about your worrying day yesterday, thinking of you and your DD1 ?

A grey damp morning in Oxfordshire. A worrying day yesterday, DD1 had a day in hospital with some issues connected to her treatment, thankfully she returned home in the evening.
A working day for me so best get on with it.

Good morning and thanks for the warm welcome yesterday.
I'm back at work today, infact sat next to laptop as I write, early start on a Wednesday.
Hope your day goes well.

Good morning everyone from a wet Northampton, thank goodness for some rain; glad I got all the grass cut in the last few days.

A bit of a tidy up this morning, then being picked up by friends at lunchtime and going out to lunch at a local pub restaurant. Will be nice to have a catch up. I'll ask them back here afterwards for coffee, and have made a cake in anticipation.

Can make my tea now, it's half an hour since I took my alendronic tablet.

Hope a good day is in store for all.

Morning all from a soggy North Leicestershire.

Today is the mid point in our Carer's course today and people are opening up and sharing emotions and tips.

Our gardener is coming today to move stuff about in the front shady bit! And I hope she takes one of the ferns out. We have far too many. She will probably find a place for it with another of her customers.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning all,

It’s a grey and drizzly start to the day here this morning, but looks less breezy than yesterday. Just having a quiet cuppa. I’d hoped to have a bit of a lie in, but it’s been one of those nights when I’ve kept waking up, so I decided to come downstairs and make a cup of tea.

I was away last week so haven’t posted for a while. We had a lovely break, but it’s back to normal now, with the washing and ironing to do and the garden to sort - everything, especially the weeds, have put on a growth spurt.

Welcome to the new posters.

I hope your journey back home goes without a hitch, Urmstongran.

GM ? for you and I hope the meds will give your DH some relief.

Good luck with the shredding, Mick. I’m always full of good intentions to do a little as and when, but invariably end up with a much bigger pile which becomes a chore. Must try harder ?.

Well, I hope today is the best it can be for everyone. Take care.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where we’ve blue skies and light clouds, the forecast is for sunshine and showers again today
I’ll be off to the gym later and then a routine annual health check at the doctors
Good on you momb hope all goes well and your guests settle in quickly. Cumbria is certainly a lovely area for them to get to know
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good morning all from sunny Ibiza.

Yesterday didn’t go to plan. We’d misread the info on the land train as it didn’t stop near to our hotel but from the Town hall and we had left it too late to get there on time. So a browse around the shops and coffee it was. DH bought me some perfume a Marc Jacob one. We bought a gift for GS. It’s a car ferry with some vehicles. As they now have a bath in the new bathroom he will love it. Funnily enough we bought DS the same thing about 30 years ago on a visit to Ostend.
In the afternoon we lazed by the pool in the shade and in the evening returned to what has become our favourite restaurant here.

No plans today just relaxing I think DH may have a walk to a nearby large supermarket to buy cheap gin to take home tomorrow.

Safe journey Urms

Take care everyone.

Morning all from grey S Hants hoping for rain later.
Welcome to Bowlore and Keepingsane.
Safe journeys Urms and Oldd.
What an adventure momb interesting times.
You certainly don’t need that gMattie, hope it passes quickly and the hospice meds arrive swiftly.
Two drives today and some phone calls to make.
Enjoy your day if possible ??

Good morning all from grey and drizzly South Lanarkshire.

Everyone seems very busy this morning, there’s a definite feeling that life, for the most part, has returned to pre pandemic ways.

I hope the pharmacy get the meds for your DH Mattie and that you’re able to rest your ankle.

Good luck mumofmadboys, what a lovely thing you are doing.

Welcome to the new posters.

I’m working in another of our shops today, covering annual leave, hopefully it won’t feel too strange. The charity is trying to keep all the shops trading five days a week but as each has only two paid staff members it can be tricky.

Have the best day possible everyone, safe travels to Urms and OD.

Thanks corner! ?. And muse oh and Pantglas enjoy the paseo we’ve left it tidy. La Carihuela is certainly busier than when you were down last time - buzzy but not rammed, just how I like it at this time of year - no queues for tables in the chiringuitas but just bustling with happy, cheerful, whistling waiters. Everyone is so glad to see the return of visitors after Covid. Tills are busy with euros being stuffed into them. Many French and Scandis folk are out on their holidays. Lots of smiley faces in the hot sunshine!

Morning Mick and all

It’s blue sky here in S E Essex, the 7 yr old had his weekly sleepover last night so he will be requesting a cooked breakfast any time now.

The cleaning fairies are in today, I am off to the gym, I might walk there?

(((hugs))) for all in need, especially grandMattie , safe journey home Urmstongran

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Safe trip urms, sorry forgot you are homeward bound today.

Morning Mick, morning All from a damp corner of Somerset. The garden will be delighted, suspect the gardeners due this morning to deal with the grass and front landscaping will be less so.

A bit of catching up yesterday and a trip to return a skirt that is definitely a different shape to me. Our former daughter in law came to bring me some birthday goodies and stayed for a long chat in the evening so a good day.

Today means a call, I hope not a battle, to the techies at Apple to sort an oddity with my phone. Grocery delivery first. This afternoon it’s back to the dentist for more investigations into my jaw issues. Hmm, can’t say I’m looking forward to any of it but of course it will pass.

Hello to all folk I’ve not met before. Good to see you here. Wishing you well mumofmadboys, hope it all works out. I do understand your husbands wish to be at home grandmattie, the medication may support that. Your ankle is a concern, please rest when you can.

Safe trip wishes to your husband ash, as always sending good wishes to everyone. Hope Wednesday is kind to us all.

Sar53 knowing your husband has a boat & where you are right now, I wonder if he’s read this book? I enjoyed it many years ago and wonder if he would? It’s a great holiday read with lots of humour in it. Right up his canal I’d think.

Here’s Matt.

Good morning everyone from Malaga. Sun’s up. ? We’re homeward bound this afternoon. A quick mop of the tiles, a wipe round with a damp cloth and clean the bathroom after our showers and that’ll be it. It’s too hot now for duvets and I’m going to ditch these now rather than squirrel them away in the top cupboard. They need replacing so will buy new ones in the autumn.

I’ve enjoyed our holiday very much. We have no calls on our time here so it’s lovely to do just as we please and recharge our batteries.

I only have a handbag for the airport. It is nice to travel light. Himself has a small grip bag for the iPads and Kindles. I’ve bought L’il Miss a dressing up flamenco dress in ‘hot pink’ (her favourite colour) with a mini matching fan so it can squish in that bag. Seems strange sitting here to think I’ll be be home in Urmston by 9pm!
✈️ ?

Have a good day those who can. x

It really isn't noble Ash. We live in a big house, are mid 60's, have had 5 children of our own so used to a degree of chaos and live in a wonderful part of the country ( Cumbria) where there are jobs available for our guests. We are just doing our bit for this grim situation.

Good morning all from the Black country where its trying to rain.
Back to mums and toddlers this morning so early start.
Have to try ringing the surgery at 8 for DH he spoke to them yesterday about his blood test told to ring this morning for appointment to speak to a doctor.
Safe travels Urms and anybody else travelling, best wishes to anyone celebrating and virtual hugs where needed.
Enjoy your day and may you all find some ?.

How very noble of you, mumofmadboys! A wonderfully generous gesture! Good luck! ????
