Good Morning Mick and everyone from another sunny morning in Hull.
Still no rain so DH had to water the garden again last night. Lovely lie in this morning. DH is still asleep after his night out.

grandMattie ? your poor husband and his UTI! My mother in law had a bad one once and was throwing chairs around on the hospital ward. So awful.
Chrissielou hope your DD has her chemo ok on Monday. ?
Kitty hope your DD is feeling better today ?

Today and tomorrow are fairly quiet with no real plans. We’ll take it as it comes. I’m sure we’ll see the DC and GC at some point. Our friends are coming over tonight for a takeaway and a drink.

Take care everyone and hope all flights go ahead and journeys are safe. Enjoy all your activities with families and friends. Virtual hugs to those who are feeling stress and coping with illness and worries.??

Good morning Mick, Annie and all.
Sending best wishes to GrandMattie and hope she manages to get her DH downstairs. Be careful.
Hoping Marydoll is OK.
To all who have worries, enjoy the sunshine and find some peace.
Nice to see Urms back. I have missed her.

Good morning everyone from a blustery Glasgow. Heavy rain last night so the garden has been well watered as I had watered everything the night before.

DH has been admitted to hospital early as his breathing is quite laboured now. All members of staff we so welcoming and friendly as we were getting him settled into his own room. He was on good form as I left him later on in the afternoon. Just keeping myself busy now and thankful DD2 and SiL are here and I won’t be rattling around the house on my own.

Have the best day you can everyone.

GrannySomerset Sat 25-Jun-22 09:20:53

Clouding up now after a bright start so expect the forecast showers will soon be here. Have an empty today so not sure what I will do with it.

Sorry so much unwellness around and hoping that things improve for MrGmattie in particular, and that Marydoll is all right.

Good morning from a bright, sunny Durham, very breezy though. As Harri says, the anticipated rain really didn’t materialize last night - a bit of drizzle, but no more.
Yesterday’s post was lost - so again Hi to Urms welcome back. gM I remember the UTIs well - the medics thought my DH had had a stroke on one occasion. Fingers crossed for Monday Chrissie - chemo is so brutal.
A leisurely weekend as I’ve had a busy week with dogs and GCs. My own blood tests were fine, but I must lose weight?.
Have a good weekend.

Good morning from a sunny but windy NE.
It was very humid and dark clouds gathered last evening but the storm did not materialise overhead, could hear it rumbling in the distance. The rain was only a few spots which was a shame because I didn't water the plants on the expectation of rain.
My sister has booked another flight, for next week, flying out of Frankfurt this time. Let's hope this one goes ahead, I don't think she could cope with a fourth cancellation.
Sister and her DH will visit this afternoon and DS and family will come and be here for the rest of the day. I am going to be tired tonight as I didn't sleep well.
Lovely to see Urmston back with us.
Thoughts are with grandMattie, hope you are managing to get some rest.

Morning everyone. North Leicestershire is, as dragonfly says, very sunny.

I intend to finish repotting my house plants today and wander into the village for flowers and a couple of cards.

DD1 has spent the night in hospital on an iv drip but seems OK this morning.

ginny, thank you for reminding me - I haven't booked Tolethorpe yet. The weather looks good- enjoy.

Have the best day possible everyone.

grandMattie Sat 25-Jun-22 08:37:59

My earrings, Urms!

Gingster Sat 25-Jun-22 08:31:01

Chrissielou - enjoy your 2 weeks ‘holiday’ and relax. It’s been a tough few months for you, I know! . Fingers crossed your Dd ‘s problems get sorted and the Chemo can go ahead. ?

Gingster Sat 25-Jun-22 08:27:42

Good morning all and the sun is just breaking through.

Sar your birthday treats sound lovely. I’m glad you enjoyed your day.

GG hope your journey into London is problem-free. Have a lovely dinner with your DS and hopefully your DIL.

Dd brought round little gd’s Beaver jumper with badges to be sewn on. She’s just been invested. This will be the 7th ‘s time the task has been given to me, and I should be an expert by now, but I’m not! ?. A bit wonky and not sure where the badges go?. Oh well! I’m sure I’ll be told if it’s wrong ?.

I do hope you all have a good day! ?

Good morning Mick and everyone from sunny Carlisle. Evidently, there's been a shower or two over night and no doubt one or two more will be along later. I'll be out in the garden later but first there will be a trip to the garden centre and a stop for the weekend papers. I'd like to get round to put more pictures up but we'll see....prefer the gardening!

I hope your DH improves soon grandMattie and also hope to hear from Marydoll.

Have the best possible weekend all of you.

Morning from S Lanarkshire, patches of blue sky but still chilly.

Today’s main event is seven year old DGS’s dance show this evening. He loves to perform at home but I’m not at all sure how he will react to an audience. I hope he’s okay.

My brother is coming this morning to help me get the garden a bit more organised, I am no gardener, I wish I was but absolutely no green fingers I’m afraid. My dear friend used to ‘get lost’ in her garden for hours at a time and I so envied her talent and creativity. Her anniversary is tomorrow.

Wishing everyone the best and most peaceful day possible???

Good morning all from a sunny South Yorkshire,
So many posts already this morning - lots of early birds ?.
Didn’t sleep too well through the night as it seemed unbearably hot at times, and gave up in the end and came down just after 7.30.
We’ve had our flights cancelled - we’re going to a wedding soon ( or will be, if we can get alternative flights with a different carrier that aren’t extortionately priced). Feel frustrated about it all at the moment, as everything was organised - flight, accommodation, car park, etc, etc.

I do hope your DH gets over his infection quickly, Grandmattie and that you both have a better night tonight. ?

Lovely to see you back, Urms.

Hope you get everything set up for your sample without problem, Mick.

? Marydoll - hope today is better for you.

Take care everyone, and kind thoughts to all with troubles or health problems.

Chrissielou Sat 25-Jun-22 08:07:20

A lovely sunny start in Oxfordshire, as I begin my 2 weeks off with DH. Lots of walking, gardening and relaxing planned, meals out and day trips. Need to be on hand for DD1 as this week has thrown up some complications and challenges we weren't expecting. Hoping chemo can go ahead on Monday.
Our garden is looking abundant and all the seeds we grew have done so well. Sweet peas are especially good and the tomato plants bearing lots of fruit already.
May you find sunshine and contentment today, especially grin Kittylester.

Newquay Sat 25-Jun-22 08:02:08

Morning from a sunny Staffs. DH tested positive yesterday. Not feeling well, very tired, head cold and cough. He took a Night Nurse last night, he’s still asleep, hoping he’s had a good night.
He finished his antibiotics on Thursday for his latest UTI. He has a phone appointment with Urologist on Monday-hope he’s proactive. Not been impressed so far. Standing by for next UTI to start again soon ?

monk08 Sat 25-Jun-22 07:56:07

Good morning all from a sunny Black country,a little rain overnight so don't need to water the garden early morning.
Urms we have a fuschia from my late Father must be over 20yrs old shall look at it differently now and think of the flowers as earrings.
Full English calling so will take my leave and return later to catch up with everybody's happenings.
Have the best day you can everyone and may you all find some ?.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s sunny and another gorgeous day is forecast.
Hoping things improve a bit for your DH soon gMattie
A relaxing weekend is in store for us and getting a few things ready as we’re off again on our travels on Monday. We’re doing a bit more of our walking adventure along the coast path in Devon and Cornwall. Its on our bucket list of challenges to complete whilst we still can as it’s quite strenuous in places ?
Your L’il Miss sounds delightful urms I’ll think of fuchsia flowers as earrings now too
Hi to marydoll and hoping things are ok ?
Hoping everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care all whatever the day brings ?

GrannyGravy13 Sat 25-Jun-22 07:53:55

Morning all

It’s warm, with fluffy clouds in S E Essex

We are driving (no trains) into London later to meet up with eldest AC for dinner, his wife had her flight from Spain cancelled yesterday, so she is hoping to get one early today and somehow get from Heathrow to meet up with us.

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Grandmabatty Sat 25-Jun-22 07:43:20

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 13° and cloudy. It looks windy as well. Ladyleftfieldlover I didn't sleep at all well last night so I sympathise. In my case it was self inflicted. I foolishly had an iced latte at the cinema. I went to see Elvis last night with friends. It was fabulous.
Today another outing to breakfast with other friends. I'm looking forward to it. Then I'll pop in to dd and see how they are. Dgs1 hasn't been well the last couple of days. Then some house stuff to do. Have a good day all.

BlueSapphire Sat 25-Jun-22 07:38:25

Good morning everyone from a bright and ?Northampton. I always find weekend days the longest, so will take myself off on the bus to a retail park (Rushden Lakes) in East Northants. It's a nice ride on the bus, going through pretty villages, so I shall sit on the top deck and enjoy the view. Will have a.spot of lunch out as well.

Got both lawns cut yesterday before an evening outing to see a local amateur drama production, .'The Haunting of Hill House;' it went on a bit, .and I came away thinking "what was all that about?" Some of the actors were very good and well deserved their applause.

Must get my skates on, as I have some washing to hang out before my excursion today.
May we all see some sunshine ? today.

Gwenisgreat1 Sat 25-Jun-22 07:36:01

Good morning all from sunny Harrogate
Welcome back Urms
Hope you can soon get treatment for your DHs UTI. It’s so difficult for you just now
Yesterday took advantage of the good weather to wash blankets. Will do more today. We have someone coming to give us an estimate for a security system today. Apart from that, nothing much doing today.
Am missing Marydoll hope you are feeling better!
Have the best day possible folks

Blossoming Sat 25-Jun-22 07:28:41

Good morning Mick and all. It’s a sunny start again in my corner of Lancashire, currently 13°C.

Plan for today is getting on with clearing space and emptying the airing cupboard ready for the boiler service next week.

It reached 24° here too GM an£ the rain, rather than cooling it down, served only to make it more humid. I hope it stays cooler here.

Lovely to have you back Urms, we’ve missed you. I love fuchsias, I have a very old one that seems to survive anything.

Hoping Marydoll is taking it easy, she seems to have a lot on her plate just now.

Positive thoughts to those going through difficult times. I hope today is a good one for us all, with a ?or ??along the way.

ginny Sat 25-Jun-22 07:27:50

Good morning. A lovely sunny start to the day here in N. Bucks.

I’m off to a matinee performance at Tolethorpe House Nr Stamford with DD 2 today. We shall eat out on the way home.
Couple of jobs to do first.
Hope you all have a good day.

Pittcity Sat 25-Jun-22 07:24:47

Good morning from sunny Colchester.
DH has just left to help set up the Air Cadet stall at our local Armed Forces Day show. I shall walk over later and maybe some of the family will come too. It's a free day out and the sun is shining.
Love to all ? x

Grammaretto Sat 25-Jun-22 07:23:45

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders.
Sun and wind here.
Great to see you back Urmssmile and Matt.
I can remember loving fuschias as a child. But we used to pull off the extra "legs" so they looked like ballerinas.
Glad you enjoyed your treat Sar it sounded great fun
I had a lovely pre theatre meal yesterday at an Italian restaurant within the theatre. We saw Laurel and Hardy which was very good.
I hope the day turns out well for everyone.
