Morning Mick, morning All from a damp and gloomy corner of Somerset

Very enjoyable lunch with the family yesterday. Today it’s on with the mundane, laundry and another attempt to sort my phone. Getting very irritable about it now.

That was a heck of a day grandmattie. Wishing you, your husband and all facing challenges a better day today

Hope Monday is gentle with us all.

Good morning! A damp start here today, will need my wellies for this morning’s dog walk.
We had a nice walk yesterday, followed by coffee and cake in the village. Got home before it bucketed down luckily.
I need to start thinking about what to take on holiday at the end of next week, as usual it’s all left to me ?
Off to north Wales, I love it there.
I hope you all have a good day x

Morning all from a damp looking West Oxfordshire. I have a list of things to do today. Library first - I make sure I have a pile of books to read to my granddaughter. Trip to Waitrose. My elder son and daughter have their birthday next week so must sort out cards and presents. I’ve more stuff for the Charity shop. I would like to pop into another Arts Week venue in my village. ???for many of you.

Good morning all. Rained overnight in Cumbria and still miserable. Very hard times GrandM. Just take one day at a time and rest when you can. x
Our dad from UA has started work today at 5 am in a bakery and their 4 year old starts afternoon nursery today. Local young mums have been brilliant in producing clothes for the children! We are getting through the admin - my DH hates forms so I am doing it with the mum.Funny how the men leave it to us!. DH is good at clearing up after meals .
I am planning on going to table tennis today for an hour and a half.Will be good to do one of my normal activities.
Hope everyone has the best day they can

Gosh you’re early this morning Mick - hope you’re well after your little episode...?

Belated birthday greetings to Miss Marydoll and anyone else I may have missed ?? have some lovely Cava from ??!

Being shouted at by Helping Mr PG this morning putting the shade up on the pergola on terrace, I do hope he I manage to get things right the first time?‍♀️??‍♀️

Will then trot off with friends as one wants to buy a new settee and it will involve coffee and cake somehow...?

May you all have some good news today and best wishes for all having tough times at the moment - don’t want to miss anyone out but I do read and hope on your behalf ?

Good morning from an overcast E Kent. We were promised a thunderstorm overnight and got just a dribble of rain instead.
Had an interesting day. Dh’s body had got rid of the excess morphine and was much more normal, but in the early afternoon, it was decided he needed a catheter and could i take him to Canterbury hospital, 18 mikes away? (They have no transport and would have needed to organise an ambulance) Not Margate hospital, 100 yards from the hospice. I don’t know why. Between the long journeys etc., it was 3 hours before we were back. DH was in different pain, both he and I were wiped out. By the time, I got home, I had been out for over 8 hours.
To add insult to injury, I was fast asleep when the phone went at midnight! In a panic, I answered it. Just DH who had not a clue why he had called me - probably one of his hallucinations. I hope the exercise is not repeated too often!
I’ve got the cleaner coming this morning just before I leave for the hospice. I want to stay until he has seen the doctors to see what they say about the two new developments, 1. A date for chemo, this Friday; 2. The catheter and problems inherent with it.
Full day/week ahead.
May you all have a ray if sunshine ☀️ in your lives today.
Carpe diem. ?????

Good morning Mick and all who follow.
It’s overcast and could be warmer on the Sefton coast. In store for us is a lively day full of laughter with Mr Busy.
Take care and have the best day you can.
