Good Morning Everyone,
Its twilight but dry here in brackley at the moment.
Today , I have to be careful as to what medication I can have prior to having Endopsy done in hospital .
My sister is coming to stay in the guest room and taking me for the check up and bringing me home .
She has had it done so is aware , the hospital have asked me to bring some sandwiches to have after plus I have some glucose tablets as well to regain energy after it.
Take Care,
Mick

Thanks for your welcome messages, ShazzaKanazza and monk08! I do indeed love tea, and rely on it to make me feel human first thing in the morning;-) … I expect I am not alone in this!
Best wishes to all x

AuntiFlo I have a warming drawer but you can put them in the microwave for a few seconds.

annsixty Mon 05-Sept-22 11:50:16

Auntie flo
Put them in a bowl of hot water and dry them just before use.
Good morning everyone from a very sunny and warm Stockport.

Good morning Mick, Annie and all. We had the full works last night, Rain, Thunder and Lightening.
DH was going for a hair cut this morning, but has decided to put it off.
I ironed! 4 items and was worn out. Now having a restorative coffee. The washing machine is churning, but the bed needs re-making. It will get done before we go to bed.
Please will all the Air Fryer users let me know , how do they warm their plates. Or , do you put the oven on?
Lively pics of little ones starting school. So exciting for them.
Our car goes in for a service on Wed and it's first MOT. ?
Have a good day one and all.

Gala we loved Saltaire also and especially the David Hockney exhibition.

I have a Ninja Mary and after the first few weeks I never use it. I prefer my old way of cooking as I like everything done at the same time.

Greyduster Mon 05-Sept-22 11:00:29

Kitty that photo gave me a much needed smile this morning! Isn’t he coming along? Glad the earache has cleared!
Mary I too plan to do a “make it or break it” drive this week. I said to a friend that if I miss my turnoff and end up on the M1 I will sit in the slow lane until I either run out of petrol or die of fright - whichever comes first!! Good luck!

A late Good Morning from a bright N. Bucks following a wet and stormy night.
Late posting today as I forgot to charge my phone overnight.
DH has gone off for a few days golfing with friends .
I have just spent a happy hour with youngest DGS and DGS2 called in so I could see him in his ‘Year 2 ‘ uniform.
A few jobs to do and then art /craft for me.
Hope your appointment goes well Mick
Wishing everyone a good day.

A late good morning from a damp Durham. Car in for a ‘simple’ air-con re-gas. Did I say simple??? Apparently a front spring is broken - another £550!
Hoping they can get the part for tomorrow which messes up my plans for a day in Harrogate.
At least 2 days of ‘house arrest’ will get me to find a duster and dig the Shark cleaner out of the back of the cupboard.
Hope Micks appointment goes well and special thoughts for others worried about whatever problem, big or small. X

Gwenisgreat1 Mon 05-Sept-22 10:26:59

Good morning all from cloudy and damp Harrogate
I did post yesterday it just didn’t appear!
DHs birthday today and his present has just arrived. His other present I think has got lost! I bought him a kindle. The last one I bought him, he refused to use so I use it. Now, at least I know how to use it and probably will be doing it for the duration!
The past few days were really hectic. Dsis1 felt ill on the train here so got off the train and went back home. DSis 2 and her DH did come. That was Wednesday. On Thursday we had afternoon tea atNidd Hall Mick it was to celebrate DSis1s birthday! Friday we went to Ilkley to Dear cousin’s funeral and saw all the relations we hadn’t seen since her son’s funeral 2020. Very sad she was my friend as well as my cousin. Saturday we visited Knaresborough ending up with a birthday celebration for DH at DD1. DSis and her DH left late afternoon and drive back to Lochmaben
Good luck with your endoscopy- go for sedation if you get the chance. I’m surprised you have to take your own sarnies!!
Have the best day possible folks

monk08 Mon 05-Sept-22 10:18:59

Yeah I have an appointment think its with the nurse but at least I'll be in the surgery not haven't got to wait for doctor to phone me.
? welcome RoseeLee love the name are you a tea drinker

Kalu Mon 05-Sept-22 10:16:22

Pleased to hear you and yours enjoyed a lovely family get together Stilllearning. A happy memory for all.

Kalu Mon 05-Sept-22 10:12:10

Good morning all from a sunny, blue sky Glasgow, presently in my She-Shed for a late kick start espresso, listening to Joni Mitchell. Bliss

DD1 and the girls joined us yesterday to celebrate DD1’s 47th!! birthday. By the time they arrived the dreich morning had lifted and we enjoyed sitting chatting in the garden.
I too will be meeting a friend in Glasgow, I will look out for you in Buchanan Street Marydoll. Any trip into Glasgow guarantees bumping into someone I know.
I am pleased to know your sister will be with you today Mick, hoping your procedure goes smoothly.
And, there he is, the Wondrous Wolfie. Never a dull moment with this boy kitty. Hope the meds kick in soon for him.
Safe travels home. GM
Good luck to all the children starting/returning to another school term.

Best wishes for a good day to all

Good morning Mick and all from Sunnyside like Blossoming northwest coast.
Off to see tenor colleague in lunchtime concert today. The gig comes with coffee and cake and I am going on the bus for a change which I enjoy. Will pick up some necessities whilst in town too. The only problem with the bus is one can’t buy too much, maybe a good thing.
Had appointment for Botox top up yesterday, (we performers have to keep up to scratch!) but she let me down and didn’t even text or telephone. She’s recommended by my good singer friend so I know she will be ok, but it’s frustrating waiting around for someone. So expecting her late afternoon.
Hope endoscopy goes well Mick. My daughter came with me when I had mine done and did the driving.
Have a nice day as the Americans say.

luluaugust Mon 05-Sept-22 09:26:40

Good morning from an overcast W Kent, apparently thunder and lightening in the night which I missed and a nice drop of rain.
Tidying up and starting packing day today, off later in the week.
Good luck Mick for procedure and Marydoll with the driving.

Stilllearning Mon 05-Sept-22 09:22:13

Morning from S Lanarkshire, it’s been wet during the night but bright sunshine now.

Yesterday’s family get together was just lovely. The returning ‘Australians’ were delighted, the adult cousins were really pleased to see each other and it was so good to see the 12 next generation youngsters playing together happily.
So much to be thankful for, as we oldies also enjoyed a great catch up.

Boiler man coming for the annual service this morning and then off for school pick up etc.

Good luck with your endoscope Mick, good that your sister is with you.

Wishing everyone the best day possible???

ShazzaKanazza Mon 05-Sept-22 09:17:02

Glammagran your GD has the most beautiful face what an angel x

Blossoming Mon 05-Sept-22 09:16:56

Good morning Mick and everyone. It’s sunny in my corner of Lancashire, currently 18°C.

No real plans for today, other than housework, exercises and Gaelic lessons.

Have the best day possible all, whatever you’re doing??

ShazzaKanazza Mon 05-Sept-22 09:09:52

Haha Marydoll I found that funny switching off the locator when you are in the shops especially TK MAXX eh! Safe journey

Welcome RoseeLee please join us with your news

Chrissielou Mon 05-Sept-22 09:06:30

Lots of lightening and rain last night in West Oxfordshire but fresh and sunny this morning.
Gingster I'm all for a air fryer group! I'm pleased with my 5 in 1 but need some inspiration and I want to learn more about timings, but so far so good. Rotisserie chicken will be attempted this week smile.
Hope all goes well for you Mick.

hulahoop Mon 05-Sept-22 09:02:32

RoseeLee Mon 05-Sept-22 08:48:32

Morning all from Gloucestershire…
Good luck today, Mick, and thank you for starting the Good Morning thread every day.
Everybody’s posts are very much appreciated by this lurker! :-) x

Marydoll Mon 05-Sept-22 08:35:26

Taichinan, I am going to put my location on my phone, until I am safely in Glasgow, then he won't worry. That is if he actuallly looks at it! wink

I will then switch it off, as I do not wish him to know what shops I am in! ?

baubles Mon 05-Sept-22 08:34:19

Good morning all from South Lanarkshire where the sun is shining from a watery looking sky. Lots of wind and rain overnight.

Hope today goes well Mick.

Safe trip home Mattie.

I managed to pick up a few baby things in Sainsbugs Marydoll, thanks for the heads up.

I’m going for lunch with a working friend, she’s taking an extended break. I’ll be in your neck of the woods stilllearning

Good luck to all the little ones starting or going back to school, our lot are all well settled in now despite eldest GDG getting on the wrong bus one morning!

Have the best day possible everyone.

Susan56 Mon 05-Sept-22 08:24:02

Good morning from Staffordshire.

We are looking after DGS today as he has an inset day.I was awake most of the night stressing about things I can do nothing about and then up at 5 to drive over to Stafford.DGS starts school on Wednesday.Wednesday and Thursday are half days and then first full day on Friday.We are coming over again on Friday to collect him after school but no more regular Mondays.

Hope your journey home is trouble free grandMattie.

Have a good day all???

Taichinan Mon 05-Sept-22 08:23:09

Good morning Mick and all from a grey, damp and muggy Angus coast. Still a-bed so just looking north where anything beyond the bottom of the field has all but disappeared. No hills to be seen. The farmer must be relieved to have harvested the wheat and collected the straw bails last week before the weather broke. That was a noisy time - talk about the peace and quiet of the countryside!
I'm sure all will go well with your endoscopy today Mick and it's comforting to know you have your sister with you.
Marydoll, take care on your travels today, and enjoy your meet up with your friend. Your poor DH is going to be on tenterhooks til you get home!
Little Wolfie looks ready for anything, Kitty! Beware!
Such a lovely photo Urms. Enjoy your wander and I hope you get your kettle. Strange how these things always come in threes.
Yesterday must have been very hard Grandmattie. Safe journey home today - I wonder if it has rained in Kent yet?
Now I must away and get this show on the road as they say. I wonder why I'm such a reluctant mover this morning! I blame this unusual heavy humidity - nothing at all to do with #^lazygran^wink. Have a good day all x
