Good Morning Tuesday 28th June 2022

Good morning all from bright Harrogate
grandmattie you must do what you have to do to get some rest, otherwise you will be of no use to your DH.
That’s really tough getting covid on holiday Chrissielou. Hope you have the mild Version. Hope your DD is feeling the benefits from her treatment.
Hope your DDiis feeling better too Kitty
Glad your DH managed to enjoy his birthday ? yesterday Marydoll hope you are feeling better too
Have the best day possible folks

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. It's really far too cold and windy to be considered Summer.
I am still staring at my new cooker. We used it to make potato rissoles yesterday but I have lost the instructions so fancy baking will have to wait.
I am expecting an Archivist today to talk to me about my late DHs papers. His "library" contains more historical documents than most museums.
It is easier with clothes, at least here, because if they're not worn the moths get them.
Sorry to hear your DH is not improving gMattie but glad you have DD and are getting some rest.
Chrissielou what a time you are having!
I also hope you make it to the play Marydoll
My Czech helper leaves today. She has been wonderful. She has transformed my DD's old room. It's presentable now. She even washed all the curtains and bedding and cleaned the carpet. She made me throw out masses of ancient electrical stuff.
Should I have warned DD?
Have a happy day if you can everyone.

Urmstongran when the drugs kick in I intend to try on everything in my wardrobes and have a good cull before my busy month, thank you for the inspiration ?

Gingster I got soaked to the skin in that downpour yesterday afternoon. Parked outside the chemist in the High Road, umbrella broke, I had sandals, knee length shorts and a T shirt on, in my defence when I left home an hour before to go to the doctors it was warm and sunny ☔️☔️??

Good morning all from Polmont where it's grey and windy. It doesn't augur well. Grandmattie you definitely need your sleep. Marydoll I'm another glad you are feeling a bit better.
Yesterday dd and the boys came round. Dgs1 had a doctor's appointment but we played in the garden while dgs2 napped to give mummy a break. Dgs1 had lots of fun playing with the sand and water and investigating the tomato plants and beetroot. Dgs2 woke just as dd and dgs1 were heading to the doctor. So lots of baby noises and smiles for grandma! Mind you, the boy can scream when he doesn't get his own way. It turns out that dgs1 has a nasty ear infection and was given a spray to deal with it. Poor wee man. He's lost his appetite too which is definitely not like him.
Today I will hunker down as the weather isn't great. I'll potter and draw. No need for a clear out a la Urms as I did that earlier this year. Have a good day all.

Good morning from a sunny Essex by the sea.

So many poorly folks on here at the moment. Big hugs for you all.

We are having a new fridge/freezer delivered tomorrow so I need to finish defrosting the old freezer this afternoon.

Apart from that I shall be watching some tennis and doing a bit of my cross stitch. I shall be glad to finish this one, its huge and is taking months to do.

Have the best Tuesday you can, love to all xxx

Lovely Pittcity to buy new. In my case clothes that fit (sadly = a bigger size) but at least now when I open my wardrobe I can WEAR anything in there! I bought a pair of TU soft green summer trousers yesterday which I plan to wear for my lunch meet today. I have honestly found my clothes mojo after feeling overwhelmed for too long.
?

I cleared my wardrobes out a la Urms but now the sales are on and they are filling up again......

Good morning from a cloudy and a little cooler NE.
Washer is on and I am determined I will get everything washed and ironed today.
I gave away four enormous containers of lawn fertiliser that I no longer need. There are a husband and wife who mow lots of lawns in our street and they were happy to take them off my hands. I now have the rest of the garage to clear but baby steps.
So far so good sister's flight hasn't been cancelled and she should arrive tomorrow.
Thoughts are with grandMattie and all others with poorly relatives.

Good morning all and yes it’s sunny again here in Essex. We had quite a downpour yesterday afternoon and it did freshen the air a bit.

This morning I’m having coffee with an old friend and we’ll chat for a couple of hours, back here for a snack with dh and then on to Bridge club. I feel a bit mean being out all day with the car but Dh is happy having an empty and walking the dog. He’ll watch Wimbledon and get the tea ready. He isn’t a sociable soul but does comment if I’m out too much?. We really are chalk and cheese!

Ash - my Dh shattered a window last week by strimming a stony area. Those machines can be lethal.!

Chrissielou - sorry to hear you have Covid, especially on your holiday. I hope your DD is ok ?. Get well soon. .

Urms - you’ve-started a trend! I had a clear out yesterday , although I’m not one for a lot of clothes, shoes, coats etc, anyway, but I’ve got a sack to go to charity. Now I’ve just got to persuade Dh to do the same. He has far more than me , always wears the same things but won’t throw anything out. ?

GM I do hope you get some rest today.

Marydoll glad you’re feeling a bit better.

I hope you all have a good day. ?

Good morning from Shropshire.

Nothing planned today but as DH says always lots to do!Thinking maybe I should make a start on clearing the wardrobes?

Mick, I agree with Mary that you should wait to see your GP who will prescribe any supplements you need.

Thoughts with all unwell and those caring for loved ones?

Have the best day you can everyone??

Good morning from a breezy but bright N. Bucks.
Almost ready for our trip to Devon. Only going half way today then onwards on Wednesday. Looking forward to seeing our friends.
Thoughts with all who are struggling with illness themselves or of loved ones.

Good morning everyone. Time to pack up and go home from Derbyshire, where I got wet yesterday morning in the rain in Bakewell and spent a glorious afternoon at Chatsworth in the sun ?

Mick, I also think that I would wait to see what the doctor says. He might have a specific plan for you.

Grandmattie, you are so right you do need your sleep. Do the hospice provide night carers? My friend’s father had a night nurse provided by Macmillan. My neighbour’s husband keeps her awake night on night (different reasons) and she has just had 4 weeks of night carers coming in, provided by social services.

Take care all.

It’ll be a shame if you miss ‘Cluedo’, Marydoll. We saw it recently and I can’t remember when I laughed so much - it was the funniest thing I’ve seen in ages!

Good morning Michael and all GNs. The sun is shining at the moment in South Yorkshire but it feels a bit cooler. We had a lot of rain yesterday morning which hopefully will have filled up the water butt again. I ran out of milk this morning, so black coffee?! I seem to have got out of the habit of regular shopping - DH would never have let that happen. I shall have to up my game! Laundry today and I may cut the front lawn later if it stays dry.
For GM, and all who are struggling??.
Have the best day you can folks.

Marydoll and grandMattie our posts crossed.
?? for you both.

Good Morning Mick and everyone from a bright dry Hull.
Today I’m picking up mum and taking her back to her caravan. She’ll have a lovely two weeks there watching Wimbledon and walking the dog. Going to my uncle and taking his shopping over. I take enough fresh food to last him a fortnight but he eats it all in one go aah well once it’s gone it’s gone is my mantra. Hoping he’ll be in a good mood.

Grandmadinosaur have a lovely time in London. Enjoy your free couple of hours and your show tonight.
Chrissielou sorry you have covid. Hope you both sail through it swiftly.
Kitty hope your brother enjoys his 70th birthday ?
brook enjoy your walking holiday.
Hoping grandMattie and Marydoll are ok.

Take care everyone and enjoy your day if you can. Thinking of those with worries and stress. ??

monk, you are in good company. ?

37 jackets and coats ... monk ‼️ ??
You could open your own shop! I just counted the summer hangers in my wardrobe. 17 in entirety. ?

Good morning all from a miserable Glasgow, it's bucketing down here. Glad I am confined to barracks.
Mick, my advice would be wait until you see your doctor, before self medicating. It's only two days until your appointment and you don't want to skew any tests.

Chrissielou, such a shame, when your daughter is so unwell. Kitty, I hope your DD is making progress too.

I have a telephone appointment with my GP today, to check on my progress and set in motion the scans that I need, to get to the bottom of things. Yet another clinic to add to the ever growing list. Heaven knows how long it will take for an appointment to come through.
Thank goodness, my pain levels have gone down somewhat, it was worse than childbirth, but I'm still feeling very out of sorts, having lost my sense of taste into the bargain. ?!

Thank you for your kind wishes for Mr Mdoll's birthday. He had a gentle, but pleasant day, thankfully testing negative for Covid.
Despite feeling rubbish, I decided to make him Chelsea buns, his all time favourite treat, (feeling guilty that I had spoiled his birthday, by being unwell yet again). I forgot to halve the quantities, (addled brain), he will be eating them, until his next birthday. SIL is also delighted!
However, the ungrateful wretch only awarded me a score of 8/10, as they were not spicy enough, despite a whole jar of mixed spice being used. ? This is a game we have played for forty five years, I am still on probation and fear I will never reach the elusive 10/10. ?

Ash, DH and I were newly married, when we saw Allo, allo in the King's in Glasgow. We were talking about it the other day and how much we enjoyed it. I hope the rehearsals go well.
DD, DIL and I were supposed to be going to see Cluedo next week in the Theatre Royal, I don't think I will make it.?

As always, my good wishes and prayers for Baubles, the Kalus the GMs and any poorly folk, I may have missed.
For those going on holiday, have a great time. Enjoy your day everyone.

GM ???

Crossed posts Mattie. Pleased you have your DD there.

Morning all from West Oxfordshire. I can see sunshine through my bedroom curtains. I think I will make a batch of lemon ice cream today. Elder son and his family are coming after school on Friday and staying over. It’s their favourite ice cream that I make. I am leading a talk on Psalm 139 on Thursday so need to prepare that. Finally I am going to Vienna for a few days next week with my daughter. I’m not sure what the covid rules are now so need to find out. Also, because OH can’t do much in the morning because of his various medication, I must book a taxi to take me to the airport bus station in Oxford. At least he can pick me up when I get back. ??? to so many of you who are suffering.

Good morning from sunny Leicestershire.

That really is rotten luck Chrissie. I missed my DGS’s 4th birthday when I got Covid. I hope you recover quickly.
I believe cases are on the rise again.

No * Mattie* this morning - thinking of you.

Wishing everyone the best day possible.

A very late (for me) good morning from a glorious E Kent.
Lots of things have been happening. DD arrived at lunchtime yesterday, I rushed off for a sleep having had barely 3 hours the night before. Managed about 20 minutes before interruptions and telephone calls ?…
DH is deteriorating very fast and needs more support, mostly for me to be able to sleep some. I’m able bodied but need some rest. I can do most of the caring stuff, but must have my sleep.
DD has an interview this afternoon and tomorrow; I hope she isn’t too distracted by her darling daddy’s condition.
All the best to everyone, especially the unwell.
Carpe diem. ????❤️❤️
