Good morning everyone from a wet Wiltshire, at last we have rain!
Hairdressers first thing then a dog training session this afternoon- I hope DDog isn’t going to show me up! Her recall is selective to say the least ?.
I had a decidedly non-productive day yesterday, hopefully today will be better.
I hope DH’s medication gets sorted today grandMattie, and that he’s more comfortable. Your ankle sounds very painful, can you use ice packs or is it too painful to touch? I use instant ice packs on mine, they’re very effective (mine’s an old injury, not gout)
I hope you all have a good day ? for those who need one x

Good morning all! A family from UA are arriving today to stay with us . There are 2 young children so life will change considerably! We are excited and a bit nervous! Last bits of getting the house ready, making a meal ready for tonight and then picking them up from the airport. Hope everyone has a good day and thinking of GMattie especially

Good morning from a bright E Kent. All you lucky things with rain - the only thing we are expecting today are strong winds, drying the garden even more. I shall have to star using my “dribbly” hose again.
My left ankle has been swollen for a while, so I contacted the surgery. A telephone appointment which a rather ineffective nurse person, who confirmed my self diagnosis of gout. Bummer, really don’t need that.
I did go to my tai chi class and really enjoyed it although my ankle didn’t. I’m supposed to rest it, but…
The pharmacy did have any of the drugs prescribed by the hospice. Waiting until today for them. Poor DH, at least they are postponing admission as he prefers to stay home. I’ll do whatever makes him happier.
Laundry and supermarket today. I’m going in the day not at sparrow fart; see how that works out.
Welcome all newbies, better day for those with sorrow or need. Carpe diem. ?????

Good morning from Bram where the sun has already got his hat on ?.
We are going to Castelnaudry today for a wander along the canal and to have lunch.
DH's twin grandchildren are 5 today, I'm sure there will be much merriment before school.
Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone xx

Buen dia Mick from a lightening ?? where it’s my turn for sparrowfart duties and the chamberpot ☕️ is being filled...?

Lovely to see the newbies yesterday- keep posting your bizzinesses so that we get to know you all, it’s how this lovely thread works?

Off for a Full Monty at one of our local bars before trotting down to the coast for ? sweeping duties now that Urms is leaving me in the lurch going home!

We’ll stay for dinner at our favourite chiringuito as we’re picking up friends at the airport this evening- a tootle around IKEA will be necessary to fill the time ? (Mr PG is ecstatic at the thought ???...)

Hope things go well today for all with worries and health problems ?

Good morning from a drizzly Torbay.

Yesterday, I almost completed my Winter to Summer clothes swap. I’m trying to cull what I have but, as an inveterate hoarder, it’s difficult! DH is due to arrive later today, travelling by train, including €*, so I must aim for a semblance of tidiness!

Wishing everyone a good day, especially where there is illness or sadness and a warm welcome to our newbies, including Bowlore. ??????

Good morning Mick. I’ve been listening to the rain here in Leicester and we’re expecting more today. Back to the waterproofs for our walk today.
I spent yesterday afternoon gardening in the sunshine so I can’t complain.
Mr A should have been going out with his cycling group today bur they’ve postponed till tomorrow so I bet he’ll be watching the cycling too.
Take care, all.
