Good Morning Friday 2nd September 2022

Good morning from a bright and sunny Essex by the sea.

Food shopping this morning, nothing else planned for today.

Happy Birthday to SunshineSally, have a lovely day.

Enjoy Friday everyone xx

Good morning everyone from an overcast and damp Northampton. We seem to have a fine drizzle at the moment, but I shall have to brave it and get the bus to our M&S Food and Sainsbury's, as there are a few things I need for the weekend. Shall have a coffee ☕ while I'm there, using one of my free vouchers.

Everything is now unpacked from my cruise, put away, and washing sorted - till the next time. My lovely neighbour came over to return my keys which I had let him have while I was away (in case of emergency). His poor wife is on chemo to try and keep her cancer from spreading more, and they are trying to make the most of every day and do everything she wants, most importantly seeing people - she could have 6 months, she could have a few years, according to her consultant. They are ever hopeful, though.

The cats returned yesterday morning, and are back in their usual routine of eating and sleeping. I emailed the cattery and have booked them in for my holidays next year! Must get some anti-histamines today, as I could feel the allergy symptoms starting up again yesterday.

Managed to cut the front grass yesterday afternoon and trim the edges, and had planned to do the back today, but it will be too wet. My poor lawns look terrible, with lots of bare brown patches - just hope it grows back over winter. I was delighted to find that the grapes on my outdoor vine have turned purple and are sweet - couldn't resist trying a few lots.

Must shower and dress and get out,
Happy birthday ? Sunshine Sally!
Georgesgran - would have been our Golden Wedding this year too.

Have a good Friday everyone.

Happy Birthday SunshineSally, it is my youngest GD's 13th birthday today, doesn't seem two minutes since she was a baby.
? for you Georgesgran I hope your happy happy memories help on what would have been a special day.

My grapes!

Good morning all from a damp and dreary looking Angus coast. Very still, and not even a breath of a breeze. Today is the 28th anniversary of DH's death in a road accident. I can no longer imagine what we would be doing if he were still alive, (he was a young and vigorous man then) so I just remember with regret for all he has missed and all that was taken from him by the action of one lorry driver.
Today I am meeting my niece for lunch and then going to the hairdresser's with possibly a wee sneaky visit to M&S on my way home - my car seems unable to drive past!
Happy Birthday Sunshine Sally and good to hear from you again momb. Very glad to hear that all went well yesterday harrigran - such a relief for you.
Have a good day everyone and may the sun break through any dark clouds of life x

Good morning all from sunny South Lanarkshire, it’s a lovely start to the day.

Great news Harri.

Happy birthday SunshineSally

Hello momb ?

georgesgran ?

I’ve a work catch up call this afternoon but otherwise no real plans. Yesterday involved a lot of walking which was good but tiring. There was a huge delay coming home as a lorry had shed its load of hay rolls which held up the traffic for such a long time.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Hurrah Harrigran. So pleased for you.

Taichinan ?

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning Mick and everyone. Dry and bright again in my corner of Lancashire, it looks like it may have rained overnight. Currently 16°C.

We didn’t get out for a pub lunch yesterday, as I received notification that a delivery due Friday was being delivered on Thursday. No worries, we stayed in and are going out today instead.

I’m glad the dental work is done Marydoll. I have a TMJ problem that causes problems with my bite and feel your pain. Have a peaceful day and rest.

Pleased all went well yesterday Harrigran.

Good to hear from you Momb.

Happy Birthday SunshineSally

Good morning all from a cloudy W Kent, rain overnight. Off to take a piece of computer equipment to DGS3 for Uni use. Hoping to get a sandwich lunch out.
Happy birthday SunshineSally. Pleased all went well Harrigran.
Good wishes to all

Good morning all!
This morning I have a phone call with my GP about the test results so far, then this afternoon a hospital visit for x-rays of both knees, both hips, spine and right shoulder! This GP certainly is thorough!
I managed to sort through 2 big cupboards and a wardrobe yesterday so now have a pile of bags for OH to take to the charity shop tomorrow (his day off!). We only have a 1 bedroom flat but we do seem to have the belongings of a 3 bed house! Now I need OH too sort his 2 sheds, no chance I think!
Happy birthday Sally, Glad it went OK Harrigan, thank you for the welcome back yesterday everyone and a wave to Marydoll.
Have a good day everyone!

Thank you

Taichinan

Giod morning Mick, Annie and all. I am up so late this morning, and am breakfasting alone, as DH has had slight vertigo for the last couple of days.
But, bless his heart, he still managed to bring me my morning cuppa.

It is our 61st Wedding Anniversary today, so he has been doing it for all that time. We also have an anniversary card that we now trot out each year, and it's been going since 2012! (I got fed up with buying a card , then throwing it away after a while).

Happy Birthday SunshineSally and ?? for Taichinan.
Glad to hear that you had a fairly painfree procedure Harrigran, and to Marydoll, well done at the dentist.
Nice to have you back MOMB
The length of this lovely thread means that I may very possibly have missed someone off, but best wishes to one and all.
Have a good day folks.

Good Morning !

Happy Anniversary Auntieflo ??
Taichinan?

Good Morning from a warm (still dry) Cambs.,

Congratulations to Auntieflo & your DH on your anniversary, ( I say we've been doing the re-cycling of cards for many of our 54 years of marriage, as well as other occasions, I was re-cycling before it became popular!! My mother was a "waste-not-want-not!!).

Happy Birthday SunshineSally,

Warm thoughts to you all, especially those who need extra care. xx

Good Morning again everyone gosh so much news since my early morning visit.
