Good Morning Tuesday 28th June 2022

Good day Mick, Annie, and all. Finally got on here after another busy morning. Again confusion about which surgery to go to for blood tests. Finally got it sorted and went to pick up DH and a restorative coffee.

Mick, do try and put off adding supplements to your routine, at least until the Dr has seen your results.

I have made our lunch, and eaten it, while DH is playing on his phone, trying to get Google to turn the TV on and off. Why?

GrandMattie, I am so sorry to hear that you are getting to the point of exhaustion with not enough sleep. Surely, as others have said, the MacMillan nurses could arrange a night nurse?

Hope you manage to enjoy your holiday Chrissielou. Sending best wishes to the Kalus Kittylester and Marydoll and all who are in need of some TLC.

Urms, with your encouragement, I should be sorting my wardrobe/s, but will leave it till another day.

My Chemo session tomorrow, and a volunteer driver to take me there.p, so it should be stress free ?
Have a good day one and all.

Hello, welcome and Happy Birthday utterbliss ??

Good afternoon,

Well, I’ve done it again - left it late to post! ?

So sorry to hear of your interrupted sleep yesterday,*grandMattie*. You are right, you do need some rest in order to be able to function, so I hope you managed to get a little more rest today. I do hope that you can have some night time support from MacMillan or similar, just so that you can get a little rest whilst your DH gets support from them. ??

Welcome, utterbliss and happy birthday ? ?. I hope you are enjoying your day.

Well, I’ve some washing to put out and it should dry nicely in todays stiff breeze - I discovered a leak from the bathroom toilet and the mat was wet down one side, so has needed a wash. We await a plumber, supposedly coming sometime this pm, but we’ll see.

Happy Birthday * utterbliss* and many more of them! ???

Hi and welcome utterbliss and a happy birthday to you!
So true about the time vanishing when you start reading the posts.
Where are you from?

Happy Birthday Utterbliss. I too don’t come on all the time but I adore this group. During the day if I think of everyone’s comments it always makes me feel happy, it is a lovely group and so easy to feel for everyone ?

Plus thanks to Gillgran.

Thank you MONK08, BLOSSOMING, GORGESGRAN, SHAZZAKANAZZ.

for all your good wishes.

What a lovely bunch you all are.

The only problem I have with Gransnet is I start reading and

the next thing I look up and 2 hours have flown by.

Good afternoon from a dull cold Carnoustie.Felt unwell with flu like symptoms and visited two chemists and health centre to get testing kits.None of these places had any so had to borrow from neighbour. Luckily it was negative so it seems like a bad col . Reading book and having a quiet day.?

Happy Birthday, utterbliss, enjoy your special day.

Warm wishes to you all on this friendly thread, especially those with added worries.

Hello Utterbliss, welcome to the GM thread and Happy Birthday!

Good morning everyone.

Today is my 70th Birthday.

This is the first time I have posted on the day-by-day site.

I think it is lovely how supportive you all are to one another,

no horrible judgmental comments.

I wish you all a happy day.

Party4 good morning.
I’m keeping everything crossed for your BIL so sad you can’t visit now but I’m hoping he surprises you again and can recover from his bout of covid. ?

Morning all ,due to family crisis haven t been able to keep updated on GN posts til this a.m.
So sorry to hear of illness amongst our regulars and their families.
Thinking of GMattie whose strength amazes me,please try and accept any offers of help and try to catch up on sleep, you need self care to meet the levels of care your DH needs to remain comfortable.?
Phone call yest to let us know BIL whilst bedridden and in nursing home suffered a bad fall on Sat.(confused attempting to get out bed).Although he had previously tested negative, yest.he tested positive and struggling.We fear the worst but he has surprised us all over past 10 yrs. of illness.Now of course we are unable to visit as they have other cases of Covid, such a shame as the home have been brilliant over 2yrs in keeping it virus free.
Quiet lazy day apart from washing bedding as tomorrow it's hectic Wed DGC x 4 care p.m. with hairdressers appt in morn.
Thoughts to all those with illness and worry.

Good morning everyone, bbrrr it’s chilly !
I’m resisting putting on the heating , it’s underfloor type so it isn’t instant anyway . Got my cardi on and crocheting a blanket , or pretending to crochet ??
We got a lot of gardening done yesterday so the rain is doing a good job on the plants
I have more birthday cards to make , but inspiration is lacking ,
I am sad to see what gMattie is experiencing, lots of us on here can understand your pain !

Good morning from a rapidly clouding over W Kent. Yet another quiet day, nearly ten days since first signs of the Covid so should be free soon, surely.
Had a good look round the wardrobe yesterday and culled a few bits for the charity shop next week.
Best wishes to all

Good morning Mick and everyone from grey but brightish Carlisle where worse is forecast for the afternoon.
More plants put in yesterday but I may have underestimated the number I needed when I went to the garden centre at the weekend so I may need a return visit....Meanwhile the cherry tree planted in the front is giving off unhappy vibes. Nothing obviously wrong with it but no new shoots coming forth. Probably has the same feelings about this summer as I have.
It's housework this morning and I suspect it will be a reading afternoon plus I have 2 small pictures ready to hang.
All this talk of clearing out wardrobes is making me feel restive. I have 2 large wardrobes jammed full plus chests of stuff stored away for the season/holidays. At least I could take some to the charity shops but what do you do with surplus bits and bobs of kitchen ware, accumulated over the years, some from the late caravan, and now no longer needed? I sometimes wonder why one person needs so much stuff around her to support her daily life!

Wishing all of you with troubles a better day.

Good morning Mick and all. It’s sunny in my corner of Lancashire, currently 16°C.

Not much planned for today other than my Healthier You zoom meeting and usual physio exercises.

Enjoy your London trip Grandmadinosaur. Have a lovely time on your walk Brook, hope you didn’t get too wet.

Sorry you’ve succumbed to Covid Chrissielou, hope your daughter isn’t feeling too bad, and your daughter too Kitty.

Hope you can get some extra support and some sleep GrandMattie. You need both at this sad and difficult time

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

Good morning Mick and all from a breezy northwest coast.
My dreams are very vivid at the moment, my late DH and my mother often appearing. Read yesterday this could be a sign of approaching dementia, oh no, it was nightmares for that condition and these were rather nice.
Off to sing this afternoon and must get some artwork framed for exhibition.
As there are quite a few with troubles here sadly, I will just send my thoughts to all.

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny ? Northampton.

Replying to Glammagran while I think about it and before I forget - the church is Calstone. It, and the village, hold a special place in my heart. It was my DF's birthplace and home for many years; my uncle and aunt lived there till the 1960s and I spent many happy hours there as a child. And yes, I am off on a cruise in August!

Yesterday was spent busy around house and garden. Cleaned the bathrooms in the morning, The rain cleared up by lunchtime, so I cut the front hedge by the drive in the afternoon, and weeded the border- took a good couple of hours. Chatted to next door neighbour, then his elder DD arrived.home from school with the results of her cookery lesson, and I was invited to try one of her sausage rolls, which were delicious.

A morning of not doing very much, an early lunch then out to a health walk.

Must now.go back and read the whole thread; wishing all well today.

Good morning from a mixture of weather in Oxfordshire, sunny, cloudy, very windy and not very warm.
Not much on today, more things to do from my list, all indoor stuff.
I’m still trying to declutter but too much going on at the moment, my list is full, so it will have to wait until after July. Although I did sort out some books to go to the charity shop, but instead they went onto the bookshelf in the garden cabin. As I said before shuffling things around instead of getting rid of them was not the plan!
So sorry that so many here are having a rough time, virtual hugs to you all and I hope you all manage to get some well earned rest today.

Good morning from a breezy, dry S Hants.
So pleased you have a working cooker at last Grammaretto I’m sure you’ll soon be baking away.
gMattie somehow you need to sleep, hopefully some respite care for your DH will be available swiftly.
Bowls this afternoon.
Lots of poorly people here, I hope you all have an easier day, with the odd ?.
