Good Morning Wednesday 13th July 2022

Mick might I suggest a covid test, diarrhoea can be one of the symptoms with this latest variant.

Good morning from sunny Colchester. We had rain and heat yesterday which was quite unpleasant. The sky is clear at present and, although it is already 20°, it feels fresher.
Slapping on the suncream for the Wednesday morning coffee meetup where we'll probably sit on the cafe terrace.
I am clearing rooms this afternoon as we are having new carpets tomorrow.
Love to all ? x

Good morning all from a cloudy Black country. Slept well last night to well need to get a rush on its mum's and toddlers, so will catch up with everybody's happenings later.
DH had a phone call from the fishery yesterday cancelling his fishing contest for Sunday due to the heat, so my planned empty for Sunday is also cancelled.?
Enjoy your day everyone and may you all find some ?.

Good morning all from sunny South Lanarkshire.

I hope you feel better soon Mick. You too Marydoll, enjoy having Dollie.

Mattie I discovered the pronunciation of Belvoir very recently as a friend is moving to live near there.

A lovely day yesterday with another Lanarkshire Gran, even although the sun was MIA.

Lunch out today with DH’s siblings and other halfs, always nice to catch up.

Have the best day possible everyone. ??

Good morning all from Polmont where it's much cooler than yesterday at 13° and is now quite cloudy. Mick I hope you are feeling better today. Marydoll fingers crossed for your medical trial. Grandmadinosaur enjoy your trip and Gingster enjoy your trip to see your granddaughter. How proud you must be. Ashcombe that is good that you have a nice, quiet neighbour. The house directly opposite me has been sold so I'm waiting to see who moves in.
Yesterday was a day spent with a three year old charmer. We had such fun. Today I will visit mum as usual then I'm going to see my aunt and uncle who lost their dog last week. My uncle in particular is struggling as his dog was everything to him. Then, this afternoon, I'm washing down my front door with sugar soap and sanding it in preparation for painting tomorrow. That's the extent of my labours today. Whatever you do, I hope you have a good day.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a sunny South Yorkshire. Mick, I’m sorry you are feeling poorly. As has been said, lots of fluids today and rest. It rained here briefly yesterday and it was certainly cooler because of the cloud cover. Even the plants had their heads up for a bit. I am off into town with DD today to some shopping for my holiday. Why, in this heat? Who knows. Midsummer madness!
Have the best day you can folks!

Good morning all from a pleasantly warm and breezy East Cleveland.
Same here NanKate , DH discarded his vest yesterday as well ….
and spent the rest of the day wondering if he’d done the right thing! I think he feels undressed without it. ??
(He still wore his jacket when we went out!)
Hope everyone has the best day possible.

Good morning everyone from a blue skied Algarve. It feels fresher this morning thank goodness. The last couple of days have had the complete cloud cover that Mick describes. Yesterday’s strong winds seem to have got rid of that and for the time being it feels lovely and fresh.

Not planning on much at all today so that DD and family can have the car for the day. One car and six bodies doesn’t really work out. I think if they all come out together next year we are all prepared to contribute to an extra car so that the costs don’t fall on one family.

Wishing as good a day as possible for you all.

Good morning from another bright and sunny morning in Northampton, set to be hot again today. Luckily it was overcast and cooler for our walk yesterday, but we were glad to get into the air-conditioned cafe afterwards. We were glad of our air-conditioned house when we lived in Australia! We had no air-conditioning when we lived in Singapore or Cyprus though, and could have done with it, especially Cyprus, as I was pregnant all through one of the long hot summers!

I shall be spending the afternoon in the cool of the cinema, as I have a ticket for the new Emma Thompson film, which I understand is a bit racy! Shall enjoy a chilled glass of rose.

Some friends of ours lived close to us in a Belvoir Close, and we always knew it as Beever.

Wishes to all for a pleasant day, and may we all find some shade.

Good morning all fro a cloudy 25 degree W Kent.
My brother has just had a day out to Belvoir Castle and thoroughly enjoyed himself.
Off for a cuppa with good friend this morning. We haven't been able to do ur usual meet up lately with family events and Covid so really looking forward to a good chat. DH not keen to go out in the heat.
It is interesting how GC can help with aches and pains, having my two grown up GC here last week certainly helped my arthritis, I think!
Marydoll I hope the trial may be a way forward for you, I did one sometime ago now and was amazed at all the extra care I received alongside the actual tablet trial.
Very best wishes to all

Good morning Mick and everyone from mostly sunny Carlisle where there is a pleasant cooling breeze. Need to keep the blinds down on the sunny side though or the house will heat up and be stuffy.
I hope you are better today Mick. Rest up.

I'm planning a housework morning...at a gentle pace, I don't want to overheat! I think that's probably just an excuse to sit and read my book though. I might go for a stroll in the park after lunch, there are plenty of trees to stay under.
Yesterday I had a pea picking session. I should have staggered the sowing of them, there were a lot to pick. I sat outside and shelled them then had the problem of fitting them in my little freezer which is now rammed. I shall probably get another to go in the garage as a backup but after my holidays. Another thread reminded me of returning from holiday to find a power cut had shut down the freezer, which fortunately only had veggies and fruit in it.
I do love to see the sun but I'm glad I won't be down south this coming weekend. I've got a narrow range of happy operating temperatures so sympathise with any of you suffering the heat.

Good morning from a sunny Northumberland ?
Had a trip on a narrow gauge railway and cream tea in a lovely garden. On the way back we went to view the Lady Waterford gallery.
Slept well again as the very thick walls keep the house cool.
Haven't decided what we are doing today, rest of family are just starting to surface.

Good morning all from a pleasantly sunny Glasgow. I’m afraid I can no longer bear the very high temperatures those of you are experiencing further south.

A late start as I had a much longer well rested sleep so I intend to have a lazier day pottering in the garden after I collect another script for DH who now has shingles on top of everything else. Poor man, I am hoping it is only a mild dose.

Having Dollie with you is one of the best medicines Marydoll
Lovely to hear you are getting out and about a bit more and had a catchup with another Gnetter Baubles

Best wishes to all for a good day if possible.

Good morning Mick and all. It’s cloudy in my corner of Lancashire, with a few patches of blue sky. Currently 18°C and feeling hot and humid despite the lower temperature.

I hope you’re feeling better this morning Mick, many folks suffer in this kind of weather. I love the heat so I’m generally OK. Blood pressure check this morning. I’m keeping well hydrated, I got through 3 litres of water yesterday.

GrandMattie you’re right, it’s definitely ‘beever’! Sounds like you had an enjoyable day.

EkwaNimitee your post brought back a reminder of my sister and I in summer sat on the back doorstep shelling a sackful of peas from the garden. We thought it was fun then We used to feed some of the empty pods to the pet rabbits and guinea pigs. My sister liked to eat them raw!

Hope all our poorly grans are on the mend. Enjoy the day everyone ??

Good Morning Mick and everyone from Hull. I’m sitting in the hairdressers with colour on my hair. Sorry you’ve not felt well Mick.

NannyJan happy 18th to your GD?
Gingster enjoy Matilda another proud Grandma moment

Kalu so sorry your husband has horrible shingles on top of everything.
Urms I did laugh at Matt we’d just discussed this in the hairdressers everyone’s sleeping struggles?
When we had our GD at the weekend it’s Grandma play with me or Grandad play with me. Whereas GS solitary little love just does his own thing most of the time.
But they are a tonic. Enjoy Dollie Marydoll it’s wonderful she makes you feel better. ?

Grandmadinosaur you must be excited for your concert it will be a fantastic atmosphere in the evening in the open. My daughter performed a lot at an open air theatre in Leicester and it was fantastic. Everyone took blankets for later as it got cool. Great atmosphere though.

Hope everyone enjoys their day and virtual hugs to those with worries and illness. Right must go she’s ready to wash off my colour. ??

Good morning Mick and all from a sunny northwest coast.
You could do with a fan in the flat Mick, sit next to it and feel cooler. I have a revolving fan, but not using it (yet) as this weather suits me and it’s not too hot here on the coast.
Enjoyed singing yesterday and the homemade melt in the mouth drizzle cake, yummy. Then did a ‘big’ shop, first time in a while, was scraping the barrel, oh I hate big supermarkets and avoid them most of the time. Newly married, a friend remarked “Oh you’re very continental aren’t you?” as I shopped a little a day.
Off to lunchtime piano recital given by long standing colleague and will take the bus, no parking probs.
Thoughts to all with troubles and will read through later.
