Forgetting mention that SiL works at Glastonbury so the family goes every year! Thus year just SiL and 12 yo DD1 went. Iris is nit very mobile and gets tired easily, so stayed home with DD for the weekend.
DD has decided to come over today. Don’t know for how long.

Good morning all from East Yorkshire where it is another sunny one.

Hope today is a better one GM

Yesterdays fruit picking was a bit disappointing. They had had a very busy day on Saturday so it was slim pickings. We managed to get about 3/4 of a punnet and a small one of raspberries. Still it was a fun thing to do together and we enjoyed drinks there afterwards. As I thought GS wanted to come back to ours after and we had lunch together. He went home mid afternoon.

I watched a bit of Glastonbury later.

Today just pottering really and will watch the tennis this afternoon. Two weeks where little gets done in this house or what I can get done before it starts!

Take care everyone.

Good morning from a bright and sunny ? Essex by the sea.
A pile of ironing awaits me plus a few phone calls to make.
Thinking of all of you with problems.
Have the best Monday you can, much love xx

A bit grey here in Oxfordshire this morning. DH tested positive for covid yesterday, which was a good start to our 2 weeks off! So far I'm negative.
Mick there is insignificant amounts of iron in Guinness to make any difference, you might want to eat spinach, red meat, pulses which have much higher iron content.
Not able to take DD1 to chemo today, just hope she's well enough to have the 8th out of 12 treatments.
GrandMattie I am so sorry for all you are going through, I do hope your DH improves today. flowers

Morning all from West Oxfordshire. ???GM. Usual Monday I think - Waitrose shop, laundry, ironing. Possibly a few things for a Charity shop or two. I have some admin to do too with bills to pay etc.

Good morning Mick from Pantglas Towers ? - a little damp but promising sun later - hope that Guinness does some good! I watched a documentary on the making of it last night and they definitely swear by it’s medicinal qualities?

A good bottoming is to be done here today before ??when a friend comes over this evening (which I’m looking forward to rather too much after only a fortnight’s abstinence ?)

Will sit now on ?‍♀️ with my chamberpot and read of yesterday’s bizzinesses and pop in later ….

Good morning Mick and grandMattie
I’m so sorry to hear that about DH, that’s really difficult to manage and cope with gM. I hope today’s more peaceful.
Yet more mayhem and chaos this week as furniture Tetris, decorating and carpentry continues- I honestly think I will have a day in bed when all this is over! It will get better……it will be worth it…….my mantra at this moment!
I hope everyone has a peaceful day x

Good morning from yet another bright day in E Kent.
Rubbish day yesterday. DH very agitated and needed tranquilliser shot in the evening. It worked until silly o’clock since which I have been up. ?
Hope all is well with those who are unwell and unhappy.
Carpe diem. ?????
