Good Morning Thursday 22nd September 2022

Good morning everyone from a grey and still dark Inverness, DH said we had lots of overnight rain but I didn’t hear any
Like others have said it’s such good news about your DD Gingster, thank goodness the eye issue seems to have been resolved too. Awful experience being discharged though
gMattie it’s a very kind and thoughtful offer to help your friend out, I’m sure it’s greatly appreciated.
Just had a message from DD2 to say DGS is a bit under the weather this morning and staying off school so I’m going round to sit in with him for a while. Other than that no plans but I’ll probably pop into town later
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings ?

GM. You have hit the nail on the head. It's coming home after a break to an empty house, far away from family that stuns you and provokes action. It's one of the hardest decisions in life after bereavement but many will understand your decision. I feel for you.
Rain here in the Southside of Glasgow although not too cold I think. Time for some exercise in a minute then a couple vaccinations later on. I know how to live!

Ironing all

Gingster pleased your DDia home, I have heard of them discharging folks at all hours. Just be traumatic if you livepn your own, thank goodness she could come to you.

grandMattie you are a good soul, I am sure your friend appreciates what you are doing for her.

Today I must get myself organised for our break in Spain, we are travelling with hand luggage only, so I need to cull the various piles of bits and bobs along with deciding on clothes.

Enjoy your day folks ??‍♀️

Good morning from vague mist and 7 in S Hants.
Sounds a great day out Gingster the Waverley is berthed in Southampton near us. I’m very pleased your daughter is home but her discharge sounds disgraceful.
MrJ left at 6:10 for work, can’t believe I used to do that every day.
I have various admin bits to do today and will get a walk in, the runner beans were taken out yesterday, not a good year for them.
Enjoy your day all ??

Bill yet = BULLET ?

Good morning all from East Yorkshire. There was the most beautiful sunrise about 20 minutes ago.

So pleased your DD is home Gingster but horrified by her experience.

Yesterday was spent catching up with laundry etc after our holiday. We also spent time with DIL and GC as DS is away for a few days with work. GS was excited to see us and kept telling us how he’d missed us ❤️

Today I have 2 dresses to go to the dressmakers for shortening, calls to make and GS will be coming after school. Last night he was showing us his break dancing! No idea where he’s got that from and says he’s getting Grandad to do some when he’s here today. Poor grandad!

Take care everyone.

Good morning from an apricot and pink E Kent.
Had a rotten night with reflux which is why I’m so “late” posting.
The journey home was fine despite the delays on the Reading/Paddington leg, problems with overhead lines. Managed to do all my washing and a lot of thinking.
Contrary to the impression I gave yesterday, the retirement village is perfect, apart from the specific flats I visited. I’m sure the 2 bed ones would suit. It is a case of getting my head round the small space (thank you Urms) and biting the bill yet. Getting back to an empty house and the fact that I am SO FAR away from my offspring, brought it all home to me.
Meanwhile, one of my friends has had a leg amputated recently and her minute, narrow, listed little cottage full of steps and stairs and no downstairs loo, was deemed suitable for her. I have offered my own downstairs to her for convalescing, for a month or two. The occupational therapists have to inspect it before she is discharged into my tender care. She has a great number of friends who know her better, all tutted etc., but no one offered her any practical help. Am I a fool?
Today, I’m baking cakes and biscuits for an MS tea/fete, which Philip’s girlfriend works at.
May the wind be always at your back, May the sun shine upon your face. Carpe diem. ???❤️

Morning Mick, morning All from a chilly corner of Somerset.

Medical stuff accomplished yesterday, all positive. Mr C’s two consultant appointments confirmed the issue with his hearing isn’t as had been wondered ‘suspicious’, phew. My blood test was painless, result all round. Flu jabs this morning, a meal with our granddaughters Mum this evening. In between? Not very much.

Goodness gingster much as it’s wonderful to hear your daughter was discharged what a way for it to happen. I like the sound of your day out, know Swanage well, you’ll enjoy it all I know.

Take care everyone. Hope Thursday is kind to us all.

Good Morning everyone from Severnside. There is a pink/grey/blue sky up there.

Will your boat trip be on the Waverley Ginster? I’m seeing lots of photos of it on the Swanage Facebook page. We’ve been on the steam train a few times. I’m glad to hear your daughter is well enough to be discharged but goodness me, sending her home in her nightie!

Crafting for me today and a little garden work.
Have a the best you can day all especially those with worries ?

Good morning Mick and where is everyone else?

Today I’m off with a friend to Swanage on a day trip by coach. A trip on a boat with lunch and then a steam train ride . It’s a long way from here in Essex but it will be fun!

My DD was discharged from hospital on Tuesday at 9 in the evening. She’d just got back to her ward after 4 hours in the Eye Department having extensive tests after a scan showed a shadow behind her eye. All clear! Thank goodness.
They desperately needed her bed and she was feeling much better. The hospital paid her taxi fare and gave her a bag of food. Still had her cannula in and had to ask for it to be removed. They threw her a bag of meds and put her in a cab in her nightie. What a state our NHS is in!
She stayed with us for the night. Little gd’s face when she saw her mum in the morning was a sight to behold!

Hoping you all have a good day. ?
