Just popped back for another lookie. So glad to hear the wee baby boy is a fighter but such a hard time for the parents and family - but particularly the young mummy and daddy.

Just seen your news Greyduster that’s encouraging ?

Good news Greyduster hope he continues to thrive flowers

harrigran Sun 18-Sept-22 12:10:04

Just reread the thread, fingers crossed for the new baby Greyduster

Greyduster Sun 18-Sept-22 11:58:34

Thank you so much for all your good wishes. I did pluck up the courage to ring and it seems our little chap is a fighter. He couldn’t be in a better place and medics are very encouraged but he has a long long way to go.????

Good morning from a very chilly north of Scotland. I’m home from Church where it was so warm we were almost fainting. The chat of course was about the Queen and an amazing number of us have been over to Balmoral to lay flowers.
I send my best wishes to all with health worries for themselves or friends and family.
*Greyduster” special thoughts and prayers for the baby.
I’m off to haul out my heated throw and have a coffee.
Have the best day you can everyone.

Good morning all.
Special prayers today for the tiny newborn and all his anxious family.
Also to the DD’s who are ill and having treatment.
A difficult time for all.

Good morning everyone from a bright Co Armagh
My lovely cleaning lady is back working her magic , I missed her while she was away . She is very knowledgeable about plants so we spent a happy while discussing the garden
DD is back from France , where they had a well earned holiday , so things here are back to a semblance of normality
Thinking of the wee baby in SCUBA ,

ShazzaKanazza Sun 18-Sept-22 10:19:43

Greyduster I’m keeping my fingers crossed for that darling little baby and sending ? to your family x

Good morning Mick and all from Cloudy Chambers northwest coast.
Had my flu jab yesterday and no ill effects so far, fingers crossed. Lots of people and no hanging about, well organised.
Had a walk about the village and popped into the waiting rooms to view the books left for people to take, a nice idea.
Returned to car to find my electric windows are not working, hope it’s a fuse and easily sorted, they are stuck halfway now.
My daughter in Windsor has FaceTimed me there and i could see the flowers and sort of be with her at the castle.
The cortège goes past her flat tomorrow, but she as cabin crew, is working and will miss it. Her road closed off.
Good to have your date Mick and thoughts to Gingster and Greyduster

Good morning Mick and everyone. It’s cloudy and damp in this corner of Lancashire today.

I’m glad you have your rebooked appointment Mick.

A quiet Sunday for Mr. B and I, we have a few appointments in the coming week. Bacon rolls for brunch in a little while, a regular Sunday treat.

Thank you for the beautiful photo Grannydinosaur, very uplifting on a dark grey morning.

Hope there’s some good news today Greyduster and Gingster.
I hope we can all find a ?or two?? today.

cornergran Sun 18-Sept-22 09:53:19

?greyduster for the little one and you all.

Taichinan Sun 18-Sept-22 09:50:00

Good morning all from a very cold and grey Angus coast where I have given in and have switched the heating on for an hour! So much for good intentions hmm. So a quick second cup of coffee before I dive into the shower while the chill is off the air. Had a lovely lunchtime catch-up with Dancing GD and her friend yesterday - they're lovely company. I then had a Chinese take-away for my tea, so a very decadent day all told!
Good that things are moving ahead for you Mick - and good advice from others to take your sister with you to the appointment if you can - I know I never pick up everything I'm told!
Gingster flowers and I hope your DD can get home to her own bed soon.
Lots of you seem to be having some lovely family time today which I know you will enjoy.
My forgetory is well developed today and having read all the posts I now find that I can't remember who is doing what, so I'll finish here and wish you all happy holidays and safe travels and a relaxing Sunday. Me? Housework and packing ahead of leaving on Tuesday for my week with DS2 and family so that I can get immersed in the state funeral tomorrow without too much worrying. Have a good day all x

Georgesgran Sun 18-Sept-22 09:49:36

Best wishes Grey for the little one.
Hope your DD can get some rest Ginster - we used to joke that Hospitals are the worst place when your ill, as there’s no sleep for all the noise. Hope things improve soon.

Grammaretto Sun 18-Sept-22 09:49:14

Wishing the precious new baby well Greyduster smile

Kalu Sun 18-Sept-22 09:48:45

Just noticed your post Greyduster. I sincerely hope this little boy will thrive from strength to strength.

Stilllearning Sun 18-Sept-22 09:40:10

Morning from S Lanarkshire, finding the mental adjustment to a cool house quite challenging!

No fixed plans today, church soon and then we’ll see. I think I’ll wrap up and continue much needed garden tidying. I’ve got a delicious chicken stir fry from our excellent butcher for dinner to look forward to!

Will be thinking about the precious new baby boy Greyduster

Best wishes for a good day all???

Good morning Mick and everyone from chilly grey Carlisle where the sun is not quite winning the battle to get out.
I had sworn to stay in my summer weight clothes and not put the heating on before the end of September but I've started giving in. Socks and a fleece gilet are on, the bedroom window is closed at night and, when I came downstairs this morning to find it was 17C, I turned the thermostat up a notch. It is now a toasty 18C! It's not as though I'm on the breadline but I'm not keen to contribute to energy firms profits.

It will be a quiet day of finishing off the papers and a bit of gardening and I may do a bit of baking.

greyduster, best wishes for the baby, care of prematures seems to have come on in leaps and bounds in recent years.

Have a good day all.

Kalu Sun 18-Sept-22 09:27:45

Good morning all from Glasgow. Unfortunately, no sun today which I had become used to seeing every morning, it’s back to a dull day.

Since starting ami^trip^tyline again recently I have been having the most bizarre dreams. Last night’s, DH left me for Meghan Markle. I didn’t even know he knew her!?
Pleased to hear you have an appointment Mick. Hopefully all will be clear when you chat to your consultant.
Your poor DD must be exhausted Gingster. The upside of our newish large hospital offers patients a private, ensuite room, the downside, there is a shortage of beds!

Very pleased to have a mountain of ironing cleared away already…..it has been collected and will be returned the evening!☺️ I reupholstered a bedroom chair yesterday and plan to finish off the edge of the seat today with a line of copper studs. ?

Best wishes to all for a good day.

Urmstongran Sun 18-Sept-22 09:17:24

Just seen your post Greyduster and wish to add my good wishes in hoping this new baby boy thrives. x

harrigran Sun 18-Sept-22 09:09:43

Good morning from an overcast but dry NE. Heating is coming on every morning now, definitely autumn.
Family arrived mid afternoon and we decided to watch a film, GD used her phone to rent Encanto and relay it to my TV, I am amazed at what youngsters can do now on their phones.
Eldest GD brought homework to complete, she is studying fine art and graphics.
Younger GD brought her music books as she is studying for her grade 5 piano, she is working on the Moonlight sonata at present and it is coming along nicely. She likes my piano because hers is an electric one and the feel of the keys is not quite the same.
SIL is coming this afternoon, we will do some more tidying before cooking dinner.
DD was not happy yesterday, she had been in Madrid on business and her return flight to Brussels was delayed, it landed at 2.30am. That is one long working day.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from a cloudy Leicestershire.

The booster centre was so quiet yesterday we were the only ones there!
Dog walking and walking with friend today despite my sore arm.

Gingster flowers

Good morning all,

It was brighter earlier, but is clouding up and getting breezy in my part of South Yorkshire now.

I’m pleased to read that you have a new appointment for Thursday, *Mick” and wish you all the best.

Today I will be making a beef in red wine casserole in the slow pot for dinner - it’s getting to that time of year again. I’ve also got a few apples on the apple tree, so thought I’d make a crumble for dessert. Really pushing the boat out ?.

Not sure what the plans for today are going to be, it will be a wait and see day I think.

I wish you all a happy Sunday. Take care.
