Good morning Michael and all GNs from a sunny South Yorkshire. I have been reading but not posting this year, but will put my toe in the water occasionally now - quite literally as it happens because I’m going swimming this morning, then some batch cooking later for the freezer. But first, another cup of coffee. Grandmattie hope your DH has a good day? and everyone has a little sunshine.

Good to see you posting, Greyduster!

A very late good morning from me today. Torbay was sunny when we left to begin our journey North by rail to Newcastle to join the cruise tomorrow. Thank you for the good wishes.

Every good wish to the ailing or those with appointments or results today, especially Chrissielou and grandMattie. I’m glad you’re enjoying France, Sar53. The pre dinner fizz sounds perfect!

Not sure how regularly I’ll post but will be thinking of you all. ???

ShazzaKanazza Tue 17-May-22 11:35:34

I was supposed to send this at nine Chrissielou and I’ve just looked and it hadn’t been sent. Duh!!

ShazzaKanazza Tue 17-May-22 11:34:16

Fingers crossed it will be good news today Chrissielou from your DDs CT scan. ?

Good morning Mick and Gransnetters from a summery northwest coast.
Will go along to music club today and sing, had a little try out yesterday and croaked a bit, can’t sing anything low as the frogs join in.
Tonight into city for meal and catch up with long standing singer friends, so a busy day after coddling myself for a week.
Thoughts to all with worries.???

Good morning one and all from a sunny East Northants. Today I mean to cut the grass, then sit outside and read so a quiet day before watching football this evening. ( Liverpool are my team). Yesterday I went to a local shopping centre and stocked up in the M & S foodhall, so nothing else require this week food wise. I lead a very quiet life compared to most of you on here, but do enjoy reading your posts even though I don’t post every day. flowers for GrandMattie and her hubby, best wishes to you all.

Chrissielou Tue 17-May-22 10:41:56

Thank you so much for your lovely kind wishes for this morning's appointment. It's like a warm hug, thank you.

Thinking of you and your DD Chrissielou and hoping for positive news??

Nice to see you Greyduster??enjoy your swim.

Good morning from sunny/cloudy south Devon.
I can hardly believe it. After all my grumbling about the difficulty of getting GP appointments, I'm seeing a nurse at the surgery today and a doctor tomorrow. This is due to the physiotherapist at my new "strength and balance" class detecting some problems in me and getting me these appointments. I'm flabbergasted. And half worried!

Good morning Mick and all. It’s glorious sunshine in my corner of Lancashire, currently 18°C.

Today I will finish the laundry, I have a Zoom meeting and I will go for a walk later.

Hope today goes well for you and your loved ones Grandmattie and Chrissielou.

Lovely to read of holidays and family visits.

Have the best day you can all and hope you find a ?or ?? along the way.

Good morning from a slightly better looking day than yesterday in Dunblane. It rained all day yesterday so kept busy tidying a huge cupboard. How is it I keep throwing things out but still seem to have too much “stuff” ?

Managed to find a new home for a large box of assorted Lego that had been in the cupboard for at least 25yrs so at least it will get played with again. Our granddaughters were never interested in it.

Not sure what to do today may visit the local garden Centre for a coffee. I also need some bedding plants but still a chance of a night frost in this part of the country.

Thoughts with everyone struggling. Try and manage a smile at some point!

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Late good morning all after yet another poor night of sleep ? so sorry to hear of troubles-hope today is as kind as it can be. DH has to use catheter 3 times a day now. He was SO glad to have indwelling (?) catheter removed. Phone appointment with Neurologist this afty following EEG after DH had a seizure following very high temperature beg March when he had v severe UTI. We’re hoping he will be given the all clear to drive although I can drive us (gladly) anywhere he wants. Feel SO exhausted with it all-just wish someone (who knows what they’re doing!) would take charge! Sorry for moan, thanks for “listening “!

Morning from East Ren. Quick post before I set off (after ironing) to have coffee with DD near you baubles. Lots of congratulations on the lovely new baby in the family! What a size, no wonder mummy is a bit tired! A cuddle to look forward to on Thursday.

Downtown Abbey this afternoon with a friend and tea afterwards.

Thinking about you and your daughter Chrissielou?and wishing everyone a good day???

Good morning all from the Angus coast where I'm not sure what shade of grey it is. There's a thick mist - steam after all yesterday's rain! I hope it lifts soon as I have a machine full of washing to hang out before I go out for lunch. The lunch venue involves a long drive along an old drovers' road with spectacular views .... another reason to wish for the mist to lift!
Yesterday DD invited me to accompany her and the DGDs to a Diversity concert at the weekend! There's a spare ticket as New Man can't make it up after all. I'm not sure if it's my scene, but it's dance, and the company will be perfect smile
"Baubles*, very many congratulations on the birth of a bouncing baby grandson! Be warned - my two boys were little six pounders but have grown to be a strapping 6ft2 and 6ft4 - there's no limit to the heights this young man may reach! Best wishes to all.
I hope all goes well for your DD today Chrissielou, and continuing thoughts to grandmattie and her DH. Wishing everyone a good day - and just the tiniest peep of sunshine x

Good morning everyone from the Scottish Borders where the sun is shining. I wish it had been nicer yesterday for the coastal walk with U3A. It rained all day. I didn't quite make it all the way back so someone had to pick me up on their way home. But I enjoyed sitting watching the tide come in and not struggling to keep up.

How I remember those catheter days with DH, grandMattie . I found him drawstring waist loose "joggers" in Lidl. The community nursing team changed the catheters. No fun but nothing much was.

Washing to go out, shopping, mowing the grass, potting up seedlings and preparing for open studios this coming weekend and week when our town is en fete. All towns in the Borders have their traditions and rituals some going back centuries.

Thinking of those with big worries. Chrissielou I hope the news is good. sunshine flowers

Good morning from a warm but cloudy W Kent. Off to see friend for a cuppa this morning and round to the tip this afternoon, too much excitement.
All the best to everyone.

Morning from what promises to be a beautiful day here in West Yorks.
Up early walking round garden with my morning cuppa,blue sky and birds singing such a lovely start to the day.
Trip to garden centre yesterday (why can I not stick to a budget) so today will plant out my new purchases.We have a large pebbled area which we only got to half plant a few years ago so my intention is to finish this year.
Also need to update our garden furniture but haven't seen a set which meets our requirements at affordable price so considering re staining and oiling our old set which has been stored in garage over winter months.Not a quick job though and so many jobs to do.
Thoughts to all with illness and worry.
