Good morning Thursday 1st September 2022

Good morning everyone .
I just have a couple of cakes to deliver otherwise a day at home for me. I am quite uncomfortable with arthritis pain today.
Hope fully by this afternoon I’ll be feeling better and can finish sewing the last of 10 glass cases which are for welcome gifts next weekend.
Wishing you all a good day with a smile or two along the way.

What does your meltdown friend actually do when you eat out with her LLFL? I must have missed the back story.
?

I'm intrigued too, it all sounds quite mysterious doesn't it Urmstongran?

Good Morning Mick and all. Cloudy skies looking south and calm blue looking north - thank goodness for swivel chairs - I can take my pick of the weather!
Goodness what a busy lot you all are. Today is quiet for me except for tai chi, but yesterday was a day of appointments - skin specialist in the morning at a lovely little cottage hospital across the county, and then optician in the afternoon down in the town. Tomorrow I'm meeting my niece for lunch and a catch-up. All her grandchildren have started school now - how can that be!!
You must be so excited for your granddaughter, Ash. She will so love it, and learn so much. My dancing DGD is back in college for another year and is so enthusiastic about it. Mind you she says she is soooo exhausted at the end of the day and then still has a long walk back to her flat. Oh to be young again, with all that energy!
The sun is struggling through the cloud and there's blue sky to the south as well now, so off I go to make the most of it.
Harrigran I hope all goes well for you today, and everyone else have the best day x

Good morning from a bright and cool East Midlands. Happy September! Three quarters of 2022 gone already!!! Please, no one mention the 'C' word yet, it is still many weeks away!
Having a friend over for a cuppa today, I haven't seen her for some time so we are long overdue a good chat and a catchup; must pick some veggies for her to take home with her.
Otherwise, nothing much planned for today, MrP has put a wash load on while I made his morning cuppa.
Have the best day possible everyone and take care in all you do.

Good morning all from Glasgow, blue skies with the promise of wall to wall sunshine thankfully as DD1 and her partner are off to Glencoe for three days in their new campervan. They had a notion for ham ribs to have during their trip but I suggested she cook them before leaving later today! Cooking ham ribs for two hours in a campervan??? She has never cooked them before. ?

Enjoy your coffee catch-up shazza and grandmadinosaur
Hope all goes well for today Harrigran
Swan Lake was the first ballet my parents took me to Ash. You must, quite rightly so, be very proud of your GD. The cream you recommended reminds me of my favourite seafood sauce.
Where do you find the energy kitty and can I have some please?

Much love and best wishes for a good day all and hopefully some respite from troubles for those of you coping with such.

Good morning from a dull and Cloudy Black Country.

A busy day yesterday. Audiology for 8.15am, then whilst I was there a quick trip around Merry Hill afterwards, bought a pair of Black Trainers.

Met my friend and we drove over to Kinver and walked along the canal to Caunsall, where there is a lovely pub that serve wonderful cobs! Then a walk back. It took about 45 minutes each way. We were shattered when we finally arrived home.

This morning I have a NHS Health Check, hopefully all will be ok.

Have an enjoyable day everyone

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a sunny, breezy South Yorkshire. Not sure what is on the cards today except picking up my meds later, making a couple of fish pies and doing some ironing. Hope to speak to DS this evening, as we haven’t been in touch much this week.
Hope today goes Ok, Harri.
Hang in there, Corner!
Have the best day you can folks.

Morning all from West Oxfordshire. White rabbits! I must get up soon. My cleaning ladies are coming this morning and I’m meeting my melt down friend for lunch. I’ve booked a restaurant outside Cirencester so hope it’s ok! I think I have a Zoom meeting with some friends tonight. Not sure what’s happening there. Hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning from sunny Leicestershire.

We have DS,DiL and DGC today and Saturday.
Then it is back to school for them on Monday. The little one for the first time and the bigger one to the Juniors. Exciting times.

How proud you must be of your GD Ashcombe. A dance teacher asked me to take my daughter away as she was so hopeless!

Good luck today Harrigran.

Wishing everyone a good day.

Good morning from a warm Colchester where the sun peeking out from behind the clouds.
2xDGS are already asking whether we can go to the park playground. I am already exhausted. We are eating out tonight as it is their father's birthday.
The eldest has school tomorrow so I'll only have a 6 year old tonight.
Looking forward to sleeping all weekend.
Love to all ? x

Good morning all from a breezy cloudy Black country.
Well have turned the calendar over and we have a very busy September. Hair, dentist, and hospital appointments 8 birthdays 1 anniversary and 3 fishing contests.
Today is shopping will decide where later.
Enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans and may you all find some ?.

Good morning Mick, morning all from cool and bright South Lanarkshire.

Change of plans yesterday as a couple of friends were due to visit but one wasn’t well so we’ve postponed till next week. Instead I went to my knitting/crochet group, we’re doing poppies which will be used to decorate the town in November as well as starting on some Christmas things.

Today it’s Edinburgh to help DoutL, she’s on maternity leave so we’re not back to full on childminding but will collect one from nursery and one from school.

Hope all goes well today Harri.

Enjoy being with your family gM.

Your walking holiday sounds terrific brook.

Congratulations to your DGD Ash.

Have a great meet up Shazza and Grandmadinosaur.

Wishing everyone the best day possible.

Good morning all from Glasgow, where its only 8°C, feels quite autumnal.

I'm glad to hear you have arrived safely GM, I hope your day goes well.
Harri, I hope today is not too troublesome, not the best of days for you.
Mick, like Ash, I agree that you should should finish the course, if they have been prescribed by your GP. I have just finished a course and have definitely felt the benefit.
However, folic acid can cause diahorrea, which you had the other day, so perhaps check in with your GP.

DH and I had the nicest of days out yesterday. The meal was delicious and the idea of small plates of food, suited me really well, since my appetite is poor.
From the restaurant, I took a picture of DS1's office window and sent it to him. I came back from the loo, to find him sitting in my seat. It made my day, as we never see him on his own, so got a chance to chat and catch up. The icing on the cake, a photo of he and I, something I don't have. I'm quite sentimental that way.

Dear Pants, TKMAXX came up trumps! DH got a new golf cap, I picked up a wooden serving board in the clearance aisle and best of all, DH treated me to a stunning Chr*****s, globe with a Nativity scene in it.
In previous years, we would be in Rome this week, bringing back something like this, but obviously I can no longer travel abroad, so this was to make up for it.
The fact that it was priced in Euros, was a sign that it was meant for us! ? The conversion to sterling caused some problems at the cash desk, but I wasn't giving up!

Today, I have a dental appointment to have my replacement crown fitted. This has been postponed twice, due to being unwell and having problems with my mouth and throat, because of the biologics.
I'm dreading it, as my mouth and throat are giving me trouble again. Much to DH's delight, my voice has disappeared again! Every cloud.......

I hope the DDs are not suffering to badly after their treatment, good luck with any medical appointments and for those having a day out, enjoy!

Here’s Matt.

Good morning everyone from sunny Malaga. We have the local handyman, Gonzales, who lives in the block, coming over later this morning to fit up the heavy new ceiling fan with its remote control. We plan to disappear downstairs to Juan’s for café con leche y pan con tomate while he gets on with it.

No other plans. I finished my audiobook. I’m not a fan of Harlen Coburn after all. Too many twists and turns plus some far fetched nonsense. Ah well, I’ve started ‘Betty’ by Tiffany McDaniel which was recommended to me by a book club friend. It’s a coming of age story steeped in Cherokee history, set in the Appalachia’s in 1950. It’s very promising already, so that’s me a happy bunny!

Already September. Oo-er!

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny ? Northampton; have just popped out to put some stuff in the bin and it feels quite mild. a good day for washing, and have already got a load in the machine, and another load waiting.; I don't seem to have too much after the cruise, thank goodness!

It was back to earth with a bump yesterday, having to cook my own dinner! Just got on the scales and have only put on 3lb, so I'll hopefully get rid of it after getting back to my exercise groups and some normal eating.

Expecting the cats back soon, so life will truly be back to normal. Must pop round to the post office to return some stuff from Amazon that turned out to be either too big or too small; didn't have time to return them before my cruise, plus I was isolating. Then a Sainsbury's delivery over lunchtime.

Take care everyone and have a good day.

It’s just started raining hard here in La Sarthe for the first time in weeks!

Good Morning Mick and everyone from a fine Hull morning.

Harrigran best wishes today?

GrandMattie enjoy spending time with your family you deserve it.

Looking forward to a child free day today so I’m going to the gym. This afternoon a meet up with Grandmadinosaur which will be lovely.
Tonight we are going with a couple of friends to the casino for a meal. We have a voucher from last time. I’m driving as I don’t want to be late home as I have to be out early in the morning for GS.

Wishing everyone a lovely day of family and friend meet ups but thoughts to those who have hospital appointments and illness to endure ??

Good morning everyone from Weymouth where it looks like another dry day. It’s a bit of a shorter walking day for us today around Portland and then we’re moving on again tomorrow when the rain is due
Have a lovely catch up today
grandmadinosaur and shazza sounds good!
A big well done to your very talented DGD Ashcombe
Thinking of you today harrigran and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Oh, white rabbits ??? - if it’s not too late…

Good morning all and it’s a lovely Start to September! ??. It was very breezy yesterday but it’s calm and still out there now.

Today our bowls club resumes after the august break. We have a new member starting who we all know and she’s very good fun. She played a few years back so not a novice.

I might go back to art group this afternoon as I haven’t been for about 4 months, for one reason or another. I don’t like to get too tied down, with hobbies, but then again I do love to have a busy schedule. No pleasing me ! ??.

GM enjoy your time in Cardiff with your girls. ?.
Ash your gd must be very talented. She will love every second of her time with the Ballet company. ?.
Harrigran hope all goes well for you ?.
Sar I do hope your DGD is feeling much better ?.

Wishing you all a good day ?

Morning Mick and all

It’s overcast here in S E Essex, I am thinking of doing a big shop in Sainsbury's today, I have been putting it off for a couple of months and only shopping in the High Road locally. I cannot believe that it’s September already, this year is flying by

sago gnat bites are small but so annoying.

Pinch punch
Good Morning everyone from Severnside. It is cloudy and feels like rain.

I had an appointment this morning but it’s been cancelled so I’ll go and do something nice. This afternoon I’ll gather up the rubbish ready for bin day and I might do the weekly shop a day early.

Good wishes for all plans and appointments ??

Good morning all from a bright but chilly North Leicestershire.

Dementia cafe this morning then a Sainsbury's delivery and then the arrival of DD2 with her girls who are staying till Saturday when they will be replaced by Bertie, Persie and Wolfie!
