Good morning Wednesday 3 August

Sending condolences Gwen on the sad loss of your cousin ?

That was very kind of them GrannySomerset. After a big step for you, a rest for mind and body is well deserved x
My condolences Gwen ?

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Just come back from delivering eight bags of DH’s good clothes to the nearest Age Concern shop. Shattered, I took myself to the local Waitrose for a restorative coffee only to discover too late that my wallet was sitting on the kitchen table. I must have looked my age because the kind staff said “We’ll, it’s made now so have it on us”. So I did, and was very grateful. Still shattered so an afternoon of nothing is called for.

Good morning everyone, I’ve only skimmed the first page yet and already there’s a lot to read properly later.

It’s a beautiful day, the doors and windows wide open to let the morning breeze, and the sound of the washing machine,in before we have to shut them to keep the heat out!
I was awake at the crack of dawn to get a cold drink and couldn’t resist opening the shutters as I could see the sun streaming across the eastern side of the valley bouncing back from our neighbours east facing wall.
Truly beautiful and I would have taken a photograph but still hopeful of getting back to sleep I resisted.
It didn’t work but I felt a lot more rested than otherwise.
Now having an iced, decaffeinated coffee.

I hope everyone has a restorative day as much as they can.

Sorry for your loss Gwen

Good morning all, had eye scan and tests yesterday, cataracts both eyes starting with most severe first soonish. , macular generation no worse TG.
No results yesterday about my husband’s bronchoscopy on Friday, hope no news is good news?.The problem seems to have righted itself although not really feeling fit. I have three consecutive doctors appointments nextweek ,seems like the GPs are catching up.. Cheers everyone with problems and envious smiles to all busy and having fun

Just popping on to offer my condolences to Gwen. ?

Sad news Gwen sending my condolences ?

(((Hugs))) Gwenisgreat1 ???

Gwen so sorry to hear about your cousin. Such tragic news. ??

Good morning all. Thanks for opening Kate. It’s a breezy morning in Glasgow with an ominous looking sky which could mean rain is coming.

I had a lovely afternoon visiting DD1 and her girls. We did some shopping in Morrison’s where I bought more plants to put in pots and luckily found two pairs of Nutmeg linen trousers reduced to £12. I do love a bargain?
Hope it’s not too long until you are back to full strength baubles. It’s so frustrating when you want to get on with things but know you will have to bide your time until fully recovered which must take priority at present.
What a nightmare journey for you Maw. Pleased to know you finally arrived to enjoy some catch up time with your family.
Have a lovely time with your Delightful Dollie Marydoll. Absolutely the best medicine. (whisper), Morrison’s have plenty linen trousers in all sizes ?

Best wishes for a good day to all.

Good morning all from bright Harrogate
Just got the news my cousin died last night at ‘Jimmy’s’ in Leeds. She had a brain tumour so thankfully she hasn’t suffered too long
Will read your posts later
Have the best day possible folks

Good morning from Sunnyside northwest coast.
Sang in music club yesterday but didn’t enjoy it, just one of those days. Quiet at the moment as people are away. Couple of new members.
Off soon to drive 50 miles to see close friend giving a piano recital. Don’t do as much driving since lockdown and petrol increases, it starts to be more of an effort, but handy nevertheless. My neighbours are back so I don’t have to feed their cat after two weeks.
Thoughts to those gransnetters with DDs having treatment, my heart goes out to you and to anyone with troubles.
Will read through later.

Good morning all from a cloudy, warm W Kent. Yesterdays birthday plans went well with tea and cake at a NT house and then a visit to the local Cook shop to feed the family. We managed to sit in the garden till past 9 o'clock.
Tea with friend this morning, who going by her card, thinks I am 21 again.
Best wishes to all.

Aggie what a lovely description of your weather!

A late good morning from me, and I hope Yorkshire is doing Mick proud. The (not so) Little Lord of Chaos and I had a very good day yesterday. We made Cornish pasties, went to the garden centre where he persuaded me to part with more of my money than I intended to, and spent some of his own on a lump of pottery with ‘Grandad’s Garden’ written on it. We then worked ourselves to a standstill clearing space for the new plants and cutting back the evil shrubbery which was full of nettles (“well I can’t go in there, Nans; I’m wearing shorts!”). We ended up filling a green bin that had been almost empty. After dinner we played ludo. Today I think we’ll have a crack at tidying up the garage a bit, I’ll take him out for tea and cake, and then I’ll drive him home. Slave driver, me? Not a bit of it!?
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning everyone. It’s sunny in my corner of Lancashire, currently 21°C and feeling warm.

Today will be my usual routine of housework, physio, cycling and Gaelic lessons. First of all I must go and help Mr. B put the shopping away.

Have the best day you can everyone ???

Good morning everyone from an overcast and windy day in Northampton. No real plans for today, so shall take the Shark upstairs as it needs some exercise - the cats seem to be shedding a fair bit of fur lately.

Disastrous visit to the hairdresser yesterday - she completely messed up my fringe, and I am not a happy bunny. Had already decided I wouldn't be returning to her anyway, so don't feel guilty at all (and I didn't leave her a tip). A new one has opened up at the end of my road so will make an appointment there next month.

Had a quick bus trip to Sainsburys afterwards to return a top, and also pick up my holiday money.

Enjoy your holiday Urms, and hope that all have a pleasant day.

Good morning all from an overcast Co Connemara, rain scuds past the window , then the sun blinks out sleepily and retires for another wee rest ! We are promised better tomorrow ?

Good morning from Essex by the sea where the sun is trying it's best to shine.

Our boat finally went back into the water yesterday, only four months since it came out. We are planning our first trip out next week for a couple of nights.

I have to stay in for a delivery today, I hope it comes early so that I can get out for some fresh air.

Thinking of all with worries or sadness. Have a good Wednesday, love to all xxx

Good morning everyone from breezy sunny Carlisle.
I am waiting for the dentist to open up so I can consult about my painful mouth. The teeth and gums top and bottom on the side of the extraction (last Thursday) are painful, I have a tender lump below my jaw and a sore throat comes and goes. It's not improving, rather the reverse so better to deal with it before the weekend.

I'm fit enough to tackle the ironing though! So that's next.

I'm envious Urmston though it's probably hotter than I'd like. I'm idly thinking of Spain in November but I'll wait and see till after my upcoming holiday, which goes in the opposite direction so I'll be looking out a sweater or two.

Have a good day all and may matters improve for the unwell.

Good morning from a sunny NE
My sister arrived in a taxi yesterday afternoon after having discussions with workmen who will be restoring her flat, involves replacing one wall and ceiling and other remedial work and will take three weeks. She is supposed to be flying home to Germany but can't get confirmation for flight yet.
SIL is coming this morning and we will go shopping.
I have an appointment at the medical centre this afternoon.
Have a good holiday for those away from home.

Morning all

Another dry humid day forecast for my little corner of S E Essex

The cleaning fairies are here today, I am off to the gym for a gentle stretch/Callanetics class.

Coming towards the end of my steroids at last, my face looks like I have hamsters pouches along with water retention I have to say I am not looking my best ???

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?
