Good Morning Friday 1st July 2022

Good morning all and it feels chilly here in Essex.

Yesterdays busy day all went according to plan. The financial adviser is more like a good friend now but she is retiring soon. We’ll miss her. She always puts things into perspective and clears up any thoughts and concerns we have.

We saw GD2 off with her beau heading off to the school prom. She looked so lovely !

Today I’m lunching with an old pal - it will be a long one as we don’t stop nattering . Her teacher daughter will have my youngest gd in her class from September. We’ve known each other for nearly 50 years and our girls grew up together.

I must shop for a picnic tomorrow. I’m off to Kentwell Hall with the U3A . It’s a large country estate where they have Tudor Reinactment days. Haven’t been for over 30 years and I’m really looking forward to it.

Well, I hope everyone has a ‘good’ day . Glad you’ve had some sleep GM and enjoyed a celebratory meal with your AC. ♥️

Good morning all from North Leicestershire where the weather is quite mixed.

Our lovely cleaner is due today and I have a few phone calls to do.

We went to visit DD in hospital yesterday. She is fine in herself but her white cells are giving the medics cause for concern.

Sending love to the Matties.

Good morning Michael and all GNs from a cloudy, damp, cool South Yorkshire. Mick glad the doctors appointment went okay. Do look after yourself please.
We had rain of apocalyptic proportions yesterday evening and guess who was out in it?? I won’t bore you with the details except to say that DD thought it might be nice to meet for a walk?! I came home, dried off, saw I had an answerphone message and had a very long telephone conversation with our oldest friend, which rounded my evening off nicely. Not sure what gives today - dust removal probably and I started a painting yesterday so maybe more of that.
Whatever your day holds, I wish everyone a little joy.

Morning all from West Oxfordshire. Thoughts and ??? for GM and her family. I usually listen to two lectures online from the V&A on a Friday morning, but I have a hair appointment today so will catch up in a day or two. Elder son, partner and my granddaughter are arriving this evening to stay the night. Therefore lots of preparation - their room, food etc. I hope the weather stays fine as granddaughter loves playing outside.

Good morning Mick and all from a sunny S Hants. A productive visit to the Dr then Mick, good.
A busy day on the phone yesterday, this evening I have a meeting with my voluntary group. MrJ will be back from his golf trip later too, I’ll prep chicken curry for an easy dinner.
Thoughts with all GNetters who have poorly family members or are under the weather themselves. Particularly grandMattie at this most difficult time.
Have the best day you can ?.

White rabbits ?
Good morning from a bright E Kent.DH is much the same, I had a Crossroads caregiver for the night which allowed us to sleep.
Glad the the GP is looking after you, Mick. Do what you’re told.
My comment about DH spinning the last threads of life was using the simile of the ancient Greek Fates. Look it up.
We had a new boiler put in yesterday, which meant we had no water for most of it. The company sent two plumbers to do the work so it could be finished fast and with the least disruption, which was very kind and thoughtful.
The three of us had a really lovely dinner and a bottle of Cava to celebrate DD’s new job. I felt we needed some happiness after all this gloom.
Thoughts and hugs to everyone, especially kalu, chrissielou and our dear Marydoll. Hope things improve for you.
Carpe diem ❤️???❤️?
