Good Morning Sunday 5th June 2022 Jubilee Final Day

Good morning from a grey E Kent. No rain…
That’s a shame to miss your outing, Mick, but if you are nervous, it’s probably a good idea.
I enjoyed my little sortie to the library coffee morning yesterday and met a few people I hadn’t seen since lockdown! My marmalade went in a flash, obviously my reputation precedes me! ?
DS met some of his school friends again yesterday afternoon so we had a quieter than usual time. DH’s appetite seems to be coming back. He is eating, if not with pleasure, certainly a portion suitable for a 6year old rather than toddler!
Church early this morning (I’m already showered and dressed) then a leg of lamb to roast for lunch. More jubilee stuff to watch later.
May the day be gentle and you enjoy it. Carpe diem. ????

Good morning from Shropshire where a very rainy day is forecast.

Sorry you had to cancel your trip Mick but probably best as you are still recovering from your fall.

Yesterday’s quiet day didn’t happen.Spent four hours trying to get medical assistance for my mum.Phone back times on 111 were up to nine hours.I desperation I called the non emergency police line and asked if they could do a welfare check.They we’re fantastic.They spoke to mum and decided they should call an ambulance.The paramedics came within a couple of hours and stayed a long time,did a complete medical assessment and rang me several times to update me.They didn’t want to take her to hospital as the waiting times in A and E were up to 16 hours and she would have to be alone.They called an advanced care practitioner who came out and prescribed some medication and even went to collect it for her.He has arranged an OT assessment for today or tomorrow and also has put in an application for a care assessment.He doesn’t think she needs care as such but just someone to come in to make sure she eats and takes her medication morning and evening.Again he kept me informed of what was happening.The emergency services were so good, kind, compassionate and caring and I am so grateful.

Thank you for all your kind words yesterday,it really does help and thank you Mick for this thread.

Today I am hoping for a quiet day??I was pacing around the house while I was on the phone yesterday and did 18,000 steps.My legs are aching today!

Thinking of all with illness,struggles and worries and wishing a better day for you all.??

Good morning everyone ??
Oh dear Susan, I can well imagine how fraught you must be - my father was as obstructive as he could be to my my mum receiving care, to the point that he’d cancel care packages because they didn’t arrive when he thought they should! The care was for mum, not him, and she was so frail. He knew exactly what he was doing too! ?
We had a lovely morning in Aberystwyth yesterday, a really nice town with lots of independent shops. I will definitely be going again.
We watched dolphins from the window yesterday evening, a lovely surprise.
Not a lot planned today but definitely a beach walk at some point.
I hope you all have a good day x

Good Morning everyone from Severnside. It’s damp and grey.

You must feel as a little weight has been lifted from your shoulders Susan.

I think you’re wise not to go on your trip Mick until you have seen someone.

I never made it to the street party. By the time I’d got all my painting finished, tidying done, the lawn mowing and planting before the rain forecast for today then a shower I was that weary I could have cried. I started to watch the concert from Buckingham Palace and fell asleep until the early hours. I’ll not do so much today. After a cooked breakfast I’m going to do some card making and maybe write some letters.

Have a good day and enjoy your roasts ???

Morning all from ? Andalusia where I’m partaking of the chamberpot ☕️ still in my pit!

Good to hear your patient is eating GrandMattie and your mum is being sorted Susan (even if it may not be what she wants!) I find I have to lay the law down with my own father occasionally- talk about role reversal, eh! ?‍♀️

Nothing much going on at mi Casa today until later when plucky little Wales will attempt, against all odds and current sentiments given Ukraine’s problems, to qualify for the ⚽️World Cup ? - we’ll watch the game and win or lose, will go out to celebrate with friends!

Belated best wishes for celebrations or commemorations in the last few days - even sadnesses need a toast ? I reckon to show a love that’s lost x

A Domingo tranquilo to you all x

No Matt today.

Good morning everyone from Ibiza where it’s hot already at 8am. ?

A day dress, sandals, sunglasses and plenty of Factor 50 for me at breakfast as I’m off out straight after for lunch with the Yorkshire Lass. We don’t get as much mum & daughter time together and she’d like to have lunch together. Don’t know yet which pretty town we will visit.
?

Enjoy Sunday all who can. x

* I’m not eating the sun cream, though reading back it sounded that way!

Good morning all from a sunny Glasgow.

Such a shame about your trip, Mick, but probably for the best, when you were going on your own. You really need a chat with your GP.
I am surprised that nothing was organised, when you were in A&E after your collapse.

It's good to hear you sounding a bit more upbeat, GM. You have put me in the notion for making marmalade.

Susan my heart goes out to you, having been there many times. Disgraceful that you could not access immediate help, especially when you are so far away. However, I don't think that is unusual nowadays.
I was very fortunate and grateful, when I received an immediate response from the 111 service last Monday. It seems very inconsistent.
I hope you are kind to yourself today and try to make some time for yourself. Your welfare is just as important.

I have been awake for hours, that damned hip of mine is stopping me sleeping, so I have decided to get up.
We had lovely day yesterday, when DS1 and DD spent some time with us, when they picked up Dollie, who refused to go home! Even better, DD and DIL were actually talking to each other after their estrangement over DD's wedding. It's been a difficult two years.
Even better, I came back from my sacristan duties at the vigil Mass to find DD and SIL, cooking dinner on the barbecue. I was so tired, I couldn't face cooking, so a lovely surprise.
A gentle day ahead for me too, my energy levels are very low, so I shall just potter. DD is going to make Sunday dinner, another barbecue. I am not complaining!!

Have a good Sunday everyone and for those struggling, I hope today is kind to you.?

Morning all from a damp West Oxfordshire. It’s always good to be home from a holiday. I am driving up to Kew around 3 pm and will stay at son’s place for a few days looking after my granddaughter. Son and his partner are off to Venice for a few days. Before I leave home I have to drop off a cake (chocolate buttermilk) for the local Jubilee party, I hope the rain clears for it! Our gardener came while we were away and the garden is looking beautiful. It is mainly pink, purple and white. ??? to lots of you.

Good morning all and it’s damp here in Essex.

Yesterday turned out well. My friend phoned at midday to ask if I wanted her husbands ticket for a hog roast party.(he was unwell) . I hadn’t been able to get one as they sold out very quickly. I jumped at the chance and had a lovely, fun afternoon, with a singalong , quiz and games . Hog roast was delish and I saw old friends and acquaintances I hadn’t seen for 2 or 3 years.

I enjoyedthe jubilee concert last evening . ??. Such a joyful occassion.

Today we have DD and little gd coming for roast dinner. The twin gs’s may come ?.

Susan I do hope you have a more relaxed day. What a time you’re having ?.

GM wishing you a ‘good’ day. ?.

Urms have a lovely lunch with your YL. ????.

Wishing you all a gentle day. ?

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s cloudy after a really gorgeous day yesterday
Thank goodness things seem a bit better for your mum Susan it must be such a worry for you. I hope things settle down a bit now and appropriate care provided
Nothing planned here today, DH is working this morning so I’ll catch up on a few jobs
Have a lovely time with your DD urms
Hope everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good morning all from cloudy Harrogate
Sorry about today’s Trip Mick. It’s wise to go to your surgery tomorrow And check up On your medication ?.
Apart from walking into town yesterday for some holiday bits, baking and cooking meals, I did very little yesterday- watched a bit of jubilee celebrations on TV.
Today I aim to get to church then in the afternoon we have been invited to DDs for a meal. Still to finish our packing.
You will be so relieved to get help for your mum Susan.
it sounds like you are almost back to a normal life GrandMattie let’s hope it stays that way!
Have the best day possible folks!

Good morning Michael and all GNs from a wet, decidedly chilly South Yorkshire. Shame you had to cancel your trip Mick but Cardiff will still be there when you’re feeling better. Family are coming for a roast dinner later. I will slow roast a shoulder of pork and pudding will be pineapple upside down cake (my son in law’s favourite). It will be lovely to have someone to share the table with.
A hug for all faced with difficulties today. I hope someone has some sunshine somewhere to finish off the Jubilee weekend!

Morning all from a very soggy North Leicestershire.

It is tipping down and our choir are theoretically singing at the railway again. Hey ho.

Sending love to all who need it today.

Morning from cloudy S Hants, it’s distinctly cool.
Such a worry Sue I hope your day is quieter.
We’ll be watching and rooting for ??????? Pant.
Thoroughly enjoyed the jubilee concert last night after a day of garden pottering. If it stays dry, I’ll finish off this afternoon.
Enjoy today if you can ??

Good morning from a damp Colchester.
We have a big lunch Street party today. Luckily I have a red raincoat and will wear jeans with it for patriotic colour. My planned dress has gone back into the wardrobe. I am taking a fruit platter as I am suffering from a surfeit of cake.
I hope to spot my niece performing in the Jubilee pageant on TV later.
Also today is DS's 21st birthday. We had a family barbecue yesterday to celebrate.
Love to all ?x

Morning all

Sorry to hear you have cancelled your day trip Mick , hope you are feeling more like your old self soon.

Oh dear Susan56 what a terrible ordeal for you, pleased that it got sorted though.

Urms enjoy your day with your DD

It’s grey here in S E Essex not sure what today will bring, we had our neighbours get together on Friday, so it could be me and my book.

Wishing you all a peaceful Sunday

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Good morning from a very wet west midlands. It might scupper plans for street party.

Good morning from a dull West York's we have family today was for barbeque. but that's looking doubtful now ,we have survived looking after three of our very energetic grandchildren we have enjoyed it but need a rest after today .Have a good day all.

Good morning from damp Leicestershire.

My phone is already pinging with WhatsApp’s re the Street party this afternoon. There are about 250 people coming and so much has been organised it will be a pity if the weather spoils it.

So sorry to hear about your mum Susan I was in that position for many years. Even when they moved nearer I was still on call 24/7. It is exhausting especially when they resist help. I am sure the stress of it had a major impact on my health. Please look after yourself.

Sorry about your missed trip Mick - hope you get to see the doctor tomorrow.

I am very envious of your holiday Urms. We very rarely all get together. My DS and DD live such different lives. My DD gets upset that her brother is too busy to see her as when they are together they get on well.
I can relate to your family in some ways Marydoll.

Wishing every one a good day.

Good morning from a very grey and rainy Black Country.

Popped into town yesterday with my friend for a few bits and bobs, and birthday cards for 2 DGD's whose birthdays are in early July and DIL whose birthday is 2nd July!

No real plans today, probably ironing seeing as it is raining. It's not a job I like doing when the sun is shining as would rather be outside. DD and DGD4 were in Sunderland last night to see Ed Sheeran. It was for DGD's 11th birthday. I was sent a photo of a beaming DGD at the stadium. They stayed overnight, so will be back later today.

Such a worry for you Susan I hope everything can be resolved.

Good morning from a very wet Oxfordshire, torrential rain overnight kept waking us up, let’s hope the sun soon shines.
Mick you might consider wearing those support stockings, the kind you wear on long flights might be helpful and the GP might tweak any meds you are already on.
I’m doing the roast today for MissOops and Nephew, apart from that a lazy day. She says hopefully.
Hope all manage to find some sunshine and smiles today.

Morning all from a very wet Staffs ? supposed to be having a street party (about 50 homes)-just coming to the front of our gardens, dead easy, nothing communal. Up at 6am after usual bad night. Regretted not making wet weather plans. At 7am I rang priest at church at end of road-he answered. We now have use of hall 4-6 yay! So hurriedly dashed off a note and then delivered it to everyone-in the POURING rain-all before 8am ?

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders where it looks to be another sunny day. Yesterday was the hottest day so far this year.
Poor Susan but well done getting the help eventually.
Perseverance is the thing. I was first at the scene yesterday when a very elderly man fell while crossing the road - luckily it was on the pavement, just . He had bumped his head but his DW was shocked and agitated insisting I didn't phone an ambulance.
As if by magic, other women appeared, 2 in nurses' uniform and we managed to help him to his feet and slowly walked them to their home. Just as well we didn't try to call an ambulance as later I discovered what you should do if that happens. You call 999 and the switchboard send the paramedics to assess. However I was also told there are only 2 pms in the county!

I am going to a garden party this afternoon so I hope the rain keeps off. Keep safe everyone.
