Good morning all from the Black country sun trying to break through.
Quiet day me thinks nothing planned as yet.

Harrigran that's good news.
Welcome Polin?.
Enjoy your holiday Grandmadinosaur safe travels.
Have a nice Tuesday everyone and may you all find some ?.

Good Morning Mick and everyone from a bright Hull I think we have a week of lovely weather coming.

Mick thinking of you it sounds like you have some serious health worries.
Harrigran good news about your result.

Grandmadinosaur enjoy your holiday. You’ll love looking out over Mahon harbour watching the yachts going by.

Polin? Enjoy your meet up

GrannyGravy happy anniversary ?
Gingster ? hope your DD can get seen swiftly at hospital today.

Just a trip to the gym today and a food shop.
DD and GDs are coming later for dinner. I’m going to cook salmon. It’s always a pleasure to see our girls. GS had a better day at school when I picked him up. I’m going to ask if I can drive into school because I can’t cope with him bolting across the road. Luckily it’s a quiet road when I bring him out and at 7 he won’t hold my hand. Other special need children get picked up in taxi’s inside the school so ?
Take care everyone and hope you have a good day ??

Good morning all from an Autumn morning here in Glasgow.
Mick, I'm sorry to hear you have bowel cancer, that must have been a shock for you. I hope you receive prompt treatment. You will find posters on GN, who have had the same diagnosis and will offer advice and support.
As for the anaemia, mine was caused by my stomach issues and was resolved, with appropriate medication. I felt so much better. I'm sure your clinicians have dealt promptly with that too.

Harri, what wonderful news for you. Excellent service from the NHS for both you and Mick.
Nine weeks on from my urgent gastroscopy, I'm still awaiting my biopsy results, despite my GP chasing the hospital. My RA drugs cannot be restarted, until the RA consultant knows the results. Its very difficult to stay positive, the longer it goes on and knowing that there is definitely something wrong..

Today is a momentous day for us, I am collecting Dollie from school, for the first time ever and we are taking her to her ballet lesson in one of the nearby villages. I don't know, who is more excited, DH and I or her!
She started school, when I was shielding and DS, rightly so, was worried about me being in crowds once my shielding period was over and has always been wary about me picking her up.
I'm so looking forward to it, because many of the grandparents stood at the same gate as me as parents, now our children are parents themselves.
I also know many of the staff, some were my students, including the Heidie ( Head Teacher),
Circumstances have changed for me, life is too short now and there have been so many missed opportunities. So from now on, I have decided to carpe secundo. Forget the days and minutes, GM, its time to get serious! ?

Those pesky windfall apples are still staring at me, I just couldn't face them, because yesterday wasn't a very good day. It was a surprisingly quiet day, indulging in trashy foreign language dramas. I was glad of an excuse to do nothing. ?
However, a Gran friend gave me a recipe, which my DH and SIL will love it! Many thanks, #thoughtful gran.
It will need to be baked tomorrow, as we need a few essentials today. Is anyone finding the use by dates are very short these days? As for the rise in prices, DD brought me a LIDL leaflet, I was shocked at how expensive items were.

I having been thinking of all who are unwell on here, having so much to contend with, especially the poorly DDs.
Those receiving results yesterday, I hope they are not too worrying.
Ash, those night time heart episodes can be scary, I praying things have settled down.
Blossoming, I missed you, I' mrelieved to hear you are on holiday and not unwell.
Grandmabatty was mentioned as missing yesterday, she is one of our dear Glesca Grannies , I hope she is ok.
Finally GM, hoping you have managed to finalise your Bristol trip arrangements.

I'm now going back now to read the thread, the sun has just come out, a good omen.?

Good morning from a hazy Mallorca, but it’s 27 degrees so another hot day, I shall read (for a change) dip in the pool, often, we went shopping yesterday so no need to go out today. The cleaning crew will be here shortly, so we will get out of their way.
I’ll go and feed the turkeys, we have lots of fruit about to turn.

Good news Harrigran , Mick hope you get your results soon, meanwhile keep taking the tablets.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Happy Anniversary GG, have a lovely day.
Sorry to hear that your DD is unwell Gingster xx

Good morning all from sunny Harrogate
Hope you get your health problems sorted Mick
Going to my art group this morning possibly tackle a portrait of HM, there’s been so many beautiful photos of her recently. I have been nominated to solder DHs battery charger- should have done it yesterday but I forgot. This pm shall be doing a lot of repairing.
Great news Harrigran you will be pleased.
Happy anniversary Grannygravy.
Safe journey*Grandmadinasaur*.
Have the best day possible folks

Gingster I hope your DD can be helped once you get to A & E and that the wait is not overly long.

Sorry Mick I have just reread your OP.

You must have been shocked when your consultant gave you the results, let’s hope treatment starts quickly ?

Happy anniversary, Mr&Mrs GG. Wishing you a very happy day! ???

Marydoll, we are very lucky in still having a ticket office. Not for long though, sadly. Being a small town, we are all on first name terms with Lucy at the station.
In the end, I was given a full refund and ticket rebooked for 24 hours later which suits DD better. Also I was due to come home via Paddington station on Monday- not a good idea! Forwarded to Tuesday.

Good morning all from sunny South Lanarkshire.

Mick I didn’t realise you had had this diagnosis, I’m sorry to hear that and hope that you are able to have successful treatment.

Sending good wishes for your daughter Gingster.

Great news Harri.

Anniversary wishes to the GGs.

Happy holidays Grandmadinosaur

I’ve to ring the surgery today to see if I can get a fit to work note for the start of October, I suspect it’ll take me a few tries to get through.

My DoutL has ordered some things from George at Asda to be delivered to a store a few miles from us so I will collect that later today. I never shop there for food but will have a look around, see if any bargains jump off the shelves at me.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Welcome Polin. Hope you get to see your friend - I’m in a similar situation with one of mine - we’re like ships that pass in the night!

Here’s Matt!

Good morning everyone from a damp Malaga. It rained around 6am down here on the coast Pants but it’s drying up now.

Never mind, I shall, as my stepfather says - “be wet inside and out’ this afternoon as it’s my LWW day! ?? The last one for five weeks. I shall miss these lovely ladies, we are all so close.

Hair salon appointment first (natch). Himself says he will be pottering, doing ‘a bit of this and that’ while I’m out. I have the better deal.
?

Happy Anniversary GG???

So sorry to read Mick’s worrying news and hope he has a treatment plan soon. Marydoll is right and Do It Now is a good motto.

The fact that life is not infinite is certainly uppermost in our minds this week and I am prompted to make contact with one or two people I have rather avoided. Otherwise today is shopping and a meeting to decide a plan of action for doing something about the children’s corner in church which looks neglected and tatty.

Good morning from a cloudy S Hants. Let’s hope you’re treated swiftly Mick.
Happy Anniversary GG13 ??
Good news Harrigran ?
Bowls meeting this morning, due to play this afternoon but we have rain forecast.
Have your best day ??

Good morning Mick and everyone from sunny Carlisle.
I must get down to some serious housework today, a whole week back from holidays and nothing done really! I seem to have been occupied gardening, sitting in front of the computer or out spending money. Like yesterday, out in town on essential errands, I knew I shouldn't cut through M&S when I suspected they would have new autumn stock in. But I did and they did! I just had to buy a nice warm knitted slipover on the grounds that the heating would be turned down this winter and I would need it. I shall stay in today, really because I am expecting delivery of an online purchase. I probably need to go on another holiday, I spend less.

I hope your daughter is sorted Gingster and isn't too unwell.
And you too Mick, hopefully your problems are not as bad as you might be worrying about.

And hello Polin, you're new here?

And wishing all a pleasant day.

Good morning all from yet another sunny but chilly start to the day in Glasgow.
So sorry to read you have been diagnosed with bowel cancer Mick. Wishing you all the best with your treatment.
What a relief for you harri, it’s such a worrying time waiting for test results, so pleased you have been given the all clear.
Happy Anniversary GG. ???

Only plan for today is to take DH to another appointment, this time it’s another physio visit which is at a nearby hospital which saves us a drive through Glasgow, much handier and easier to find a parking space. Other than that, the day is my own to fouter about inside and out.

Best wishes for a good day to all, especially those with worrying times and illness.

I meant to say I’m very sorry to hear about your diagnosis Mick. I hope you get a successful outcome with treatment.

Happy anniversary the Gravies ??? who did a ‘test run’ first to make sure! And happy holiday Dinosaurs hope you have a wonderful time on that pretty island.

Good morning Mick and everyone. It’s warm and sunny in this corner of Lancashire today.

We have had a lovely trip to Galloway, arrived home yesterday. Today I will do the last bit of unpacking and get on with the laundry.

I am behind with all your news, have the best day you can. I will read the full thread later.
