Good Morning Saturday 14th May 2022

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good Morning all from the Scottish Borders. Promising sunshine so far and not so freeeezing as it was yesterday. I am officially poorly and have had to cancel my "engagements" though I will still pick flowers for the cafe tables.
Happy Birthday Marydoll and to Creativeness
enjoy your special days.
momb good luck with that paperwork. I got as far as joining a facebook group for people wanting to help and house refugees but, after reading , decided I wasn't strong enough.

I hope the treatment helps DH grandMattie . It is such a hard time for you all.
Those whose DC are going through treatment I send hugs and prayers.

Away to nurse my cold.

Morning Mick and all

It’s meant to be warm and sunny here today, so DH is going to get the BBQ summer ready, and DD and boys will pop down later for a trial run . No doubt the bouncy castle will be inflated and the cover will come off of the spa pool. I anticipate a busy afternoon.

Happy Birthday to Marydoll and creativeness ????

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Sorry for typos and missing words above! Pressed post too quickly before checking.

Good morning everyone from a very bright and sunny ? Northampton. I should be bright-eyed and bushy tailed,.but I hardly slept last and will not get the chance to catch up. Think I couldn't sleep from excitement, as the.expected phone call from the travel company in the afternoon resulted in me booking a holiday to New Zealand next year! The date I originally requested was fully booked, but I managed to secure the last single place on one departing a week earlier. Can't wait!

Off to watch a womens' rugby match at lunchtime; looking forward to it as.it's always entertaining; shall have to put loads of sunscreen on as I know I shall be facing the sun. Then afterwards a visit to a friend who lives opposite the ground for a coffee.

Happy birthday Marydoll, and also creativeness; hope.you both have a lovely day.

Glad a plan of action is in place for your DH, grandMattie.

May the sun shine on all of us today!

Morning from a lovely sunny Staffs from a lurker. I read your posts most mornings and I feel, like others, I’ve got to know you all a little. I feel for you all “going through the mill” with DH and DDs health problems. I share the joy of those of you enjoying your families and holidays abroad especially my beloved France.
My DH has had a rough time health wise recently having had a sudden and severe UTI beg March. NHS wheels grind exceeding slow, little confidence in medics I’m afraid ? out of the blue he had a letter this week for MRI of his prostate then afterwards-FINALLY-a letter saying MRI had been fixed cos his PSA is high. From day one I kept saying he’s high risk cos his Dad and brother both had prostate cancer but to little avail. Tough times ahead methinks.

Hi and a very Happy Birthday to creativeness! ???

Good morning Mick and everyone from brightish Carlisle where I am hoping for a sunny gardening day.
I'm off out shortly to collect a storage whim wham I have ordered. Storage is minimally provided in these new houses.

A very Happy Birthday to you Marydoll...long may you go on causing mayhem!
And Happy Birthday to you too creativeness, I think I've not seen you before?
Some of you are getting enjoyable trips out, must organise some myself, getting in a rut here.
And these yummy cakes I keep seeing, a pity some can't be teleported round Gransnet!
Have the best possible day everyone especially you and your DH grandMattie.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's 11° and rising. It looks a bit grey out but the high winds of yesterday have dropped. Marydoll have a lovely sandwich birthday! And happy birthday to creativeness too. Grandmattie that sounds better news to help your husband. Tillytrotter it's nice to see you posting.
Yesterday was a very lazy day. I didn't feel well and became very glum and introspective.
Today I have woken up feeling better. I'm excited as dgs1 is coming for a sleepover. It's the first time he's slept at my house since he was very small. He's excited to try out his dinosaur bed at Grandma's house. I'm looking forward to spoiling him. Have a good day all.

Happy Birthday to creativeness too

Happy three-day event birthday, Marydoll; thoughts and prayers to grandMattie and her DH, and also to the DDs who are battling illness.

DS and new wife arriving later for a brief visit to relive their wonderful wedding two weeks ago. Hope there are lots of pictures. It will be so good to see them.

Good morning from a brightening Colchester. A warm dry day forecast.
We finished putting out our garden pots yesterday and hope today to sit out in the sun to enjoy it. Will have to hunt for the cushions in the garage first.

Happy Birthday Marydoll ??
and love to all ?x

Happy Birthday creativeness
Have a lovely day❤️

Good morning from a sunny Black Country.

It was a gorgeous day in Bridgnorth yesterday. My friend and I found a little cafe with a lovely outside patio area. The bus journey was eventful as it broke down in Bewdley (water leak), so we sat for half an hour before it was sorted.

Had a great catch up with friend who I haven't seen since last November, as she is always busy and out and about in their caravan, so hard to find matching dates when we are both free.

No real plans today, must get out in the garden though.

Wishing Marydoll a very happy birthday

Happy birthday Marydoll ! It’s mine today also

Good morning from a sunny NE ?
Burst water main made yesterday difficult, I only had wet wipes and bottled water to prepare myself for day out.
Had a lovely lunch in a restaurant on the seashore and a glass of Champagne when we returned home.
Pleased you had a productive consultation gM, hope the chemotherapy helps.
Happy Birthday Marydoll, enjoy your day.
Weather is promising, enjoy the weekend.

Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow. Thank you all for the birthday wishes. I just can't get my head around my age.
When my health deteriorated badly in 2014, I was told my prognosis was very poor, but here I am, still causing mayhem!

Pleased to hear, you had a slightly more positive day yesterday GM that was an excellent idea to ask one of the doctors to join you. I hope things move quickly now.

Yesterday, was a pretty enjoyable, but tiring day. DH walks at such a pace and forgets I can''t
The market was pretty rubbish, once we eventually found it that is. DD had told me that it was next to junior football ground, all we found was spanking new flats! She omitted the word NEW from her message!
However, I did buy a beautiful azalea for £5 and a vintage, collectible Stars Wars vehicle for £8. DS2, the forty year old child, who has a study full of Star Wars memorabilia. I know he will love it! I shall put it away in my present box.

I happened to mention to DH that years ago, behind the trees, there used to be a Matalan junk outlet shop.
He went for a look and lo and behold it was still there! Oh joy, an opportunity to rummage!
Despite the rubbish, I still managed to find some items.

Walking to the restaurant, I though I could hear my phone ringing, but due to the busy traffic, I couldn't quite hear. DH, being his usual impatient and hearing challenged self, marched on, saying I was imagining it. On arriving at the restaurant, I saw DD had been trying to contact me. On phoning back, Mum, don't worry, I can't speak, I'm in the middle of something and I need to deal with it. I then spent the time waiting for her to call, on tenterhooks.
She later phoned back in tears, ?, but they were tears of joy! She and DIL had put in a sealed bid for a house they had viewed on Tuesday and got it!
I was crying too, because it is such a seller's market here and houses are being sold within days, so they will only now be staying with us, until August! Wee Dollie is also delighted, because they had stolen her room here and she is not pleased at all! ?
I got home to find my neighbour had taken in this stunning bouquet from DD and SIL. It was a love surprise, as they had already bought me a mini greenhouse.

I need to get a move on, because we have another First Communion today and I am one of the sacristans. Rather than face the jobsworths at the locked gate, I am going out early and will sneak in the back way. ( If somehow I can negotiate the single lane roadworks.)
My children aren't too happy, that I won't be in, but I agreed to help, not realising the date!
Consequently, I am celebrating a sandwich birthday, the day before and the day after! ?

Have a pleasant day, whatever your plans. MOMB, hoping you have a successful outcome with the paperwork. How daunting it must be for that young family. Safe journey to all travellers and praying the poorly daughters have a gentle day.
To my lovely granspal, who sent me a card, and J, thank you. ? I shall contact you both when I get back.

Good morning Mick and All.

Have a lovely day Birthday Girl Marydoll ???

Off to see Toad of Toad Hall at a Country Park. I must have seen this play about 10 times, love it. ?

Good morning all.
Happy Birthday Marydoll and any others celebrating.
Great cakes scentia
The weather is looking promising so after a quick food shop we will be planting in the garden. I’m also hoping to make up a little Fairy garden. I love fairies but I do know they are not real.

We may watch the song contest this evening as we’ll probably be too tired for much else.

Thoughts with all dealing with problems or illness. Special thought for Grandmattie and her DH.

Hope you all find a smile along the way.

Good morning Mick and all who follow from the Black country.
Sun shining and washing about to go on the line.
Happy birthday Marydoll and anybody else who shares this day???.
I to have a big bag of clothes for the charity shop must remember to take them round.
Nothing planned for today maybe some gardening, friends coming later so we shall go to the club this evening.
Well full English calling so I shall wish you all a pleasant Saturday and may you all find some ?.

Happy Birthday Marydoll[flowers}{flowers}

Morning Mick, morning All. Our corner of Somerset is promised sunshine.

Mr C seemed fairly sneeze free so we drifted to a rhododendron wood yesterday. It was beautiful, unlike the traffic we found ourselves in on the way home. The down side of living where we do. We were enormously cheered in our traffic jam to have a call from one of ours to tell us he had secured an exciting new role after redundancy earlier this year. A weight lifted.

A beach walk this morning then we plan to dismantle a no longer needed sound system. I’ll be pleased to see it go, Mr C on the other hand is sad about it. Hopefully someone will take it on, we’ll not just dump it.

A very happy birthday marydoll. Hope the sun shines and you enjoy your day. ???

A helpful phone call grandmattie, hoping for a comfortable day for you both. Your afternoon tea sounds superb gingster. Those cakes look wonderful scentia, your daughter is certainly clever.

Take care everyone. Hope Saturday is kind to us all.

Happy Birthday Marydoll . X

Good morning from sunny East Yorkshire.

Happy Birthday Marydoll hope you have a day being truly spoilt and trouble free! ??

What amazing cakes Scentia hope the party goes well.

Our present to GS went down well and as soon as he got home from his cricket coaching was in the bath playing with it!

No plans for today but I suspect they will revolve around the football later this afternoon. We may go for a coffee on the marina and or maybe lunch there.

Take care everyone.

Good Morning everyone from Severnside. Looks nice outside and I’m expecting a lovely day ahead.

I bought most of the things I need for my weekend jobs so will make a start with painting the shed window then on to the building itself.

Happy Birthday to you Marydoll ???
Those cakes look fabulous Scentia

It was the side effects with my DH that I found difficult to get my head around Mattie.

Have a pleasant day all ??
