Good Morning Thursday 2nd June Jubilee day one

Good morning from coastal West Sussex. It is bright but breezy with high cloud. Forecast is good.

I have a pavlova in the oven for DDs barbecue later on. I hope it will be alright. I haven’t made a pavlova for decades. The impulse just came over me! I should have done it yesterday of course. DH is at the allotment planting sweet corn and will bring back whatever the wildlife have left us in the way of strawberries.

We will be cat-sitting tonight as DD3 and family are away on holiday. He (the cat) has a pop-up feeder but he does like a bit of company ?

Hope you get to the hospital and they can do something for your collapses Mick. Thoughts with Ash, the GMs, Marydoll and with the non-sleepers - hope tonight is better.

dustyangel I think your rain is heading this way, just in time to soak me on Saturday as I help on a stall at a fete in the park ?

Good morning all from a somewhat dank Algarve where we had torrential rain for much of the night. It’s a little brighter now but the forecasts seem to be that the weather will not really improve until after the weekend. I hope it’s much better in UK for all the street parties that are planned.

I’ve only read the first few posts so far and I’m sorry to see that you collapsed again Michael. At least it is now going to be investigated.
Ashcombe too, not the best news to return to but already there is a plan in place for you.

I hope you are feeling better as well today Marydoll and not as despondent as you sounded yesterday.

I hope everyone has a good day. ???

Good morning Mick and all from sunny. Anglesey, not a breath of wind nor a dark cloud. Happy Jubilee to you all.
Big 40th birthday party tomorrow for our daughter-in-law amidst the jubilee bunting.
Leicester family on their way over to join the celebrations.
Lovely news for you Urms, lots of hat pictures from you over the next twelve months as we help you choose.
Hope you get your blood pressure sorted out Mick, this collapsing malarkey has been a worry for you for a while now.
Have enjoyed your cruise photos Ash and hope the op happens soon so that you can enjoy another without worries.
Hope the days are gentle for you gMattie and you too can take some pleasure in having ds at home for a while.
Enjoy Majorca Stillearning, lovely to feel the sunshine warming our winter weary bones. Same for all who are enjoying hols from Norfolk to North Wales, from John O’Groats to Ibiza and anywhere between or beyond.
Hope those of you helping daughters through the toughest of times can find a few ??
A flamboyance of ???for all, including Her Majesty

Good morning Mick and all. It’s bright and sunny in my corner of Lancashire, currently 15°c.

Absolutely nothing planned for today, other than hanging out washing! We shall see what the day brings. The weather is beautiful, fridge and freezer well stocked and nothing urgent to worry about. We are very lucky compared to many.

Hope they get to the bottom of the BP problem Mick. That’s quite a facer Ash but hopefully will resolve some issues.

Congratulations to your daughter and partner Urms.

A warm welcome to any new posters I may have missed.

Enjoy the Jubilee celebrations those of you who are attending an event. Hugs to all who need one.

Morning all

I am late to the party this morning, due to lack of sleep. My mind is all over the place worrying about things that I have no control over, why do we overthink in the middle of the night?

Will make myself a strong cappuccino and sit down and catch up with all your news.

Wishing you all a joyous Jubilee Day, whatever you are doing??????

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning from a sunny NE ?
DS and GD2 coming for the day, we will probably go out for a walk.
Yesterday my sister sent me some photos of our elder sister's flat, a bedroom ceiling and wall was covered in black mould, apparently a bathroom leak from the flat above. When they went to check the flat on the ground floor they found that the ceiling had collapsed, a nasty shock for the owner who lives abroad. The spores from the mould are dangerous and it is a big job to be carried out by professionals.
DD got the train to London yesterday, no problem but Eurostar was chaotic and they were late leaving. She is safely home in Brussels after a few days in the UK.
My friend suggested we had lunch out on Friday and I have agreed to go. It is three years since we were able to eat in a restaurant together, illness and lockdown really messed up our socialising.
Sorry to hear of those with health problems.

Good morning all from W Kent, off to art group and hope to catch up with some of the Trooping of the Colour later. We have a beacon being lit tonight round the corner from us I don't think we shall go as DH not really up to walking about in the dark and probably cold by then. No bunting in our area at all!

Hope you get the low blood pressure sorted out soon Mick and Ash the appointment turns up soon as possible.
Best wishes to all.

It's a sunny day here at the moment ,we are going for early afternoon tea a Xmas present from son !!it's my OH birthday today so treats all day .He was 5yrs when it was coronation nd he thought all the flags and bunting was for him (bless) .Take it easy all who are not well .

Good Morning to you all from a bright, sunny, Cambs.,

Thinking of you all, this first day of the jubilee celebrations, I hope you can enjoy some of it.
I will be watching as much as I can on TV, (looking forward to the trooping of the colour this morning).

Happy times to all our holiday-makers.

This evening we are off to NW.Norfolk, our DD & family are joining us there tomorrow. (fingers-crossed the TV there is working!!).

Take Care, especially Mick, & those with extra health problems.

Good morning everyone from a bright and ?Northampton. Looking forward to watching Trooping the Colour on tv.

Had a lovely coffee morning yesterday, though one of my neighbours is really struggling with the new drugs she's on to treat her (incurable) cancer. Though she had perked up a lot by the time we got home.

In the afternoon attended our well-being cafe jubilee picnic, although it was decided to hold it indoors because of the unpredictable weather. Our table won the jubilee quiz - but there were no prizes!

Expecting a Sainsbury's delivery shortly, so must get my skates on. May cut the grass this afternoon.

Hope you get sorted soon Mick.

Happy jubilee weekend to all!

Good morning Mick and everyone from a sunny Carlisle.
I hope you can get sorted Mick, I'm not sure what they do for low blood pressure, it's a nuisance for you when it causes these collapses.
I'm planning a busy housework day today and garden work too, the lawn needs mowing...that's the result of feeding it!
On this Jubilee day, I couldn't help remembering the Coronation. We didn't have a television so Mum and I watched it on a neighbour's little black and white TV, Dad was in Korea.

Hopefully, you will not wait too long for the op Ashcombe, I suppose they can't give you a timescale?

Wishing you all a good holiday with plenty of sun.

Asleep since 7, in my chair, in the sun looking out at this lovely scene. Now must get a hustle on and get out to classes. Have a bright sunny day everyone x

Good morning all from a sunny Polmont. 10° and very still. Sorry to hear about your collapse Mick. I hope it is sorted for you. Ashcombe definitely not the welcome home you expected! Urms congratulations to the couple. New outfit shopping for you.
I had a lovely time at dgs1 nursery and school picnic. He did too but got a bit overwhelmed when the whole school came out and were running around. Then he fell and bumped his arm so had to show all the teachers. I met the Depute Head who I had worked with in the past. Somehow I appear to have volunteered to help with reading etc. I'm not sure how that happened ?.
Today will be quiet. I might go and investigate the middle aisle at Aldi as I have my beady eyes on a couple of things. Have a good day all.

Shocks, not smocks, sorry.

Morning from Majorca, how nice it is to write that, I can still hardly believe I’m on a holiday abroad again, I had quite written off that possibility.

I hope you get to your appointment and that things can be improved for you Mick, these falls and frights must have been so unpleasant.
A shock for you Ashcombe but at least something can be done, hope you don’t need to wait too long.

We went for a boat trip along the coast yesterday and at one point everyone who wished had the opportunity to swim from the boat for a while. They had great fun while granny, needless to say, ‘watched the bags’! A lovely tapas meal later.

Wishing everyone the best day possible ???

Morning Mick and all from sunny S Hants. Sorry to hear of poorly people and medical smocks.
That’s great news Urms, lovely.
Butchers to pick up bbq meat later, Asda delivery and last plants to put in the garden or pot on.
Have a lovely day all, whatever you’re doing ??

Good morning all from sunny Harrogate- hoping for a summers day today!
I was absolutely knackered after having a lively dgs yesterday. We took him to soft play where he thought I should be climbing with him! When it was time to go he refused to come out and a bigger girl went in to lead him out!
After he’d gone a friend and I went to pick up display boards from an art club friend.
Good news Urmston something to look forward to
Sorry about your blood pressure collapse Mick it will be interesting to hear what the hospital can do.
It good to know what’s happening about your heart condition Ashcombe
Today it’s Sainsburies delivery and getting a wash going, then just enjoying the warmer weather while it lasts.
Have the best day possible folks

Good morning all from a beautiful blue skies East Yorkshire.

Today I shall be watching the Trooping if the colour on TV. This afternoon we will walk up the road where there is a jubilee event on going in until the evening. There are stalls food,live music etc. As his company have a stall there we shall put in an appearance there. This evening there is a flotilla starting from the marina coming up the river to close to the field where the beacon will be lit.
Last night on our local news they were showing film of the last time the Queen visited the city. I saw myself in the crowd as I was at the front. This clip of film was also unbelievably in her Christmas message that year! Lovely memories.

Congrats to the happy couple Urms a wedding to look forward too.

Sorry to hear the news you came home too Ash but hopefully the op will be beneficial to you.

Good morning from a sunny Black Country.

Had an enjoyable Afternoon Tea yesterday at the Mount Hotel Tettenhall with Mum and DD. As usual far too much food, so we took leftovers home in a box.

Today is a local walk with a group, which we do every other Thursday. The lady started this last October, and we have had dry and warm Thursdays ever since!

Great news Urms, now you will have to start hat hunting

Sorry to hear about your collapse Mick I hope you are seen quickly. Thinking of all struggling with their health

A beautiful morning in Oxfordshire, sun shining and a little mist over the fields. I will be walking as usual today with the dog, probably cover 25miles a week, sometimes more. It's fortunate we have lovely places to walk on our doorstep.
Ashcombe so sorry you returned to that news, but hopefully it will improve your health in the long run.
I hope you all have a lovely day and find some sunshine.

Good morning everyone from a sunny Inverness, hoping it’ll last all day
Hope you get to the hospital ok mick and they can treat your low BP to sort out your recent problems
Not much of a welcome home Ash but hope the procedure will work it’s magic and improve things for the future
Today I’m off to meet DD2 to help her finalise her new bathroom plans. I say help loosely as it’ll probably be hinder by the end of the day - but she did ask me to come along so we’ll see…
That’s lovely news Urms congratulations to the happy couple ?
Hope everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good morning all from the Black country where the sky is blue and the sun shining.
Mick sorry to hear you collapsed again and were back in A&E now they know you have low blood pressure hope they can sort correct medication.
Not a nice welcome home Ash let's hope waiting list not to long.
Lovely news for you Urms something to look forward to.
Best wishes to anyone celebrating and virtual hugs where needed
Take care all and have a good Thursday and may you all find some ?.

Good morning all and it’s a beautiful morning here in Essex.

Sorry to hear of your collapse Mick. Hopefully they’ll sort out meds for your low BP .

Ash - I hope you won’t have to wait long for your op. ?.

I’m looking after little gd this morning but we’ll have the TV on in the background watching the Jubilee celebrations. We’ll probably do some arts and crafts - and she’s into making puppet shows at the moment, so my imagination will be working overtime! ?. Probably some baking too.

Wishing you all a pleasant day. ??

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. A lovely day here already.
Sorry you ended up in hospital Mick. Beware sudden exercise!
I hope that your treatment helps your condition Ash
I'm out with the U3A walkers today followed by a posh picnic in someone's garden.
I have made up the spare room for a df coming to stay tonight for another df memorial gathering tomorrow.
Thinking of those in pain or with worries.
