Good Morning Friday 2nd September 2022

Birthday greetings, SunshineSally! ??

Happy Birthday, Sunshine Sally!

A grey damp start here in Oxfordshire. We had a heavy shower yesterday which was a bit of a surprise, but saved me watering which is time consuming now with the hosepipe ban.
Wishing you all a happy Friday, DH and I have a week off next week so hope to do lots of walking. We would love to walk the entire SW coastal path, perhaps when we retire, whenever that will be

Happy Birthday SunshineSally ??

Happy Birthday SunshineSally ???
Good to see you momb ??

Good morning all from a dull North Leicestershire.

I would normally be typing this in bed but have been thrown out in favour of Ellie and Lottie who are here with DD2 for a couple of days.

Not much happening here apart from a delivery from the butcher and a walk to the village for flowers.

Have the best day you can everyone.

Happy Birthday SunshineSally

Morning Mick and all

Happy Birthday sunshinesally ???

Good to see you momb ?

Overcast, with the sun trying to break through. I started clearing out my wardrobes yesterday, it’s going to be a long job.

Have a good one folks ?‍♀️?

Here’s Matt.

Good morning everyone from Malaga where it’s warm but not yet full on sunny. The duck egg of the sky has straie of white clouds and there’s a breeze. Maybe the clouds will scoot out of the way later?

We are meeting neighbours who are friends for dinner tonight. They mentioned doing so once our FoF (family of four) had gone home after their holiday. I can’t believe that’s 2 weeks ago already. Now that time has zipped by!

A new Spanish family have bought the apartment along our little landing, where the lady from Harrogate used to live. Some of you may remember how anxious she became during the State of Emergency Covid lockdown we endured over here for those 9 weeks. The new family live in Granada and wanted a little holiday place on the coast. They’ve had the bathroom ripped out & this week has been a trying time for them one way & another. We passed them our key and invited them to use our place during the day - they have been able to have showers, Fatima has been able to wash her hair (luxuriant, lucky her) an offer for which she was very grateful! It’s expected to be finished tomorrow all being well. Through our Spanglish we’ve been able to laugh along with them, swap ideas and exchange details. We’ve been invited to ‘mi casa’ (theirs) next time we come out on holiday. Such nice people, weren’t we lucky to hit it off so well?

Good morning all and it bright here in Essex. It’s going to be another warm one with NO rain AGAIN!!!

Today I will dog walk and take little pooch for her grooming session. While she’s there , I’ll shop and stock up on stuff! The cupboards, fridge and freezer seem to be very sparse.

We’ll meet our Friday friends for a light lunch and sit out on the patio of the old pub. The landlady usually joins us as we’ve been going there for nearly 40 years, so know each other well. She’s in her late 80’s and has run the pub single handed (apart from student bar staff) since her Dh died over 40 years ago .
We wonder what will happen to the pub when she is no longer able to continue. ?.

Dd has her immunotherapy infusion today. Luckily a nurse comes to her house to do the necessary. Such a relief not having to go to the hospital. She is overdue to have a scan , to see how the treatment is doing!

Sad news of Bill Turnbull. He lived near us in Suffolk and was a great campaigner against Sizewell C. A lovely man who will be missed by many.

Wishing you all a good day ?

Happy birthday sunshinesally - have a great day ?

Good morning Mick and gransnetters from a sunny northwest coast.
Off to doc to take my stomach probs further. I cancelled the Bookgroup last night sadly and hope the medication from the hospital will give some temporary relief.
Nice FaceTime with my DS in the south who wanted to come tomorrow for a few days but I’m not up to it. Spent the evening watching Beauty Queen of Hollywood, which I fancied after Shtisel (or Shitsel as I call it?), not as good.
Late Congratulations Ashcombe, many happy returns of the day sunshinesally and thoughts to all with troubles.

Good morning from Durham. Another fine day on the cards. It would’ve been our Golden Wedding Anniversary today - I doubt DH would’ve made any fuss, just another day to him. I’ve DGS1 here, so I’ll be too busy to dwell on ‘what if’s’. Meeting up with DD2 and her family later for a forest walk.
Have a good day. X

Many happy returns of the day to you SunshineSally! And great to hear from you momb as I too got to wondering about you earlier in the week when I read an article in one of the newspapers about the stresses some families had encountered hosting Ukrainian families. It made me think of you. ?

Good morning from Shropshire.

We had a lovely day with the grandchildren yesterday.Lego, drawing and making potions in the garden.Next week back to school and playgroup for them so will be the rush of the school run again.

I did an E consult at the drs this morning and was advised I need to speak to someone today?I have just phoned the surgery and a dr will call me back this morning.

Ash, thank you for the information re booking tickets.I will message my daughter and get her on the case.Her diary is busier than mine so I will fit in with her!

Happy birthday sunshinesally ?

Hope harri got on ok yesterday.

Have a good day all???

Good morning Mick and everyone from a dull Oxfordshire, we had a huge shower of rain yesterday afternoon, which has helped I think, my lilacs are so droopy and the garden is covered in shrivelled brown leaves from the trees.
Going to see MissOops and nephew this morning to help measure up for her curtains, might take cake, after my annual health check yesterday I’ve lost weight since last year so I can afford one. I’ve had to make an ‘appointment’ to go over as Nephew can’t cope with anyone just dropping in on them, which is a nuisance.
Hope everyone has a good day and that Harrigran is recovering from her procedure and didn’t find it too stressful.

Good morning from N Bucks where it is grey with a fine drizzle - hurray! ☔️ I don’t even mind that I forgot to bring the towels in last night before I went to bed so they’re hanging up inside to dry off. I just hope the garden appreciates this!
Funny how the weather this summer seems to have coincided with the calendar- it’s almost as if someone flicked a switch and said “Right, It’s September - bring on Autumn” . And even if we get an “Indian Summer” I still feel it’s over and I love Autumn. ?
Enough prattling, you can tell I have no idea what I am going to do today. I really ought to write things down as yesterday I had a mental list of what I needed to do today and - it’s gone!
Wishing you all relief from any aches or ills, comfort from any troubles and a pleasant day !

Sunshinesally Happy Birthday???

I hope you get some answers from the gp hollysteers?I have stomach problems too which my medication is suddenly not dealing with.It’s so restrictive and debilitating isn’t it?

Good morning all from the Black country, rain overnight and still very cloudy.
A quiet day today methinks need to unravel my knitting, got carried away didn't read pattern and have knitted 2 inches to much.
Happy birthday SunshineSally ?
Enjoy your Friday everyone and may you all find some ?.

Georgesgran ??? - to chalk up however many years of a happy marriage in the “plus” column in the balance sheet of life is still to be celebrated . ?

Wishing you a Happy Birthday Sunshinesally ??

Good morning from the NE where it is dry and about 15 degrees.
Yesterday went better than I expected, the staff at the endoscopy unit were kind and efficient. My procedure was carried out by a consultant who was lovely and talked to me throughout. I watched on the monitor which helped to distract me when it was uncomfortable.
Good news is there does not appear to be a recurrence of the cancer and the pain I am experiencing could be caused by diverticulosis.
Just before I left for the hospital a letter arrived with the scan results and that was optimistic too.
DD and SIL brought cake to have with coffee and then cooked dinner, they stayed overnight, lovely to have the company.

Last decent day of weather if the forecast is correct so maybe go for a walk.
Thank you all for your concern, Gransnetters are so caring.

Good morning all from Glasgow, chilly at present but forecast to warm up later.

I decided on the spur of the moment, as my hair needs some attention and trimmed, to call my hairdresser yesterday and luckily she can fit me in at noon today. My hair grows so quickly and 2in. at least must come off. The result should make me more presentable as I have a GP appointment soon after. I do hope she has a solution as to why my fractured hip seems to be getting worse. I can’t live on co-codamol forever. ?

I too was wondering how you were fairing momb. It’s nice to see you back.
Happy Birthday SunshineSally
A bittersweet day of sad and happy memories Georgesgran?

Best wishes to all for a good day.

Happy birthday Sunshine Sally ???.Good news Harrigran .Have a good day everyone.
