Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Mick I’m glad there’s been some sensible movement on your appointment and they decided to email you??. Cold and sort of grey blue here in South Yorkshire. I must change the quilt to a heavier one today and think about putting the heating on?. I am going out this morning with my son in law to look at some candidates for a change of car. The one I have is far too big. It was DH’s car and he absolutely loved driving it and I have come to see why, but I need to let it go why it still has a ridiculously low mileage and will fetch a good price. I shalln’t rush into anything though.
Enjoy your holiday, Pitt, soak up the sunshine!
Have a good day, one and all.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. 6° here guessing
It was really cold last night. I must hurry the new boiler installation. He said early October but will he stick to his word?
My Helper is still stricken with covid but well enough to eat.....grin
gMattie be careful with the furniture shifting. I have learned to avoid lifting after a lifetime of back problems. I still see a chiropractor every month for "adjustments"

Oh Harrigtan how awful but I hope you will be able to laugh about it in future.

So many grans with health worries right now
Keep smiling smile

Late this morning. So a hurried good morning from a sunny but still very damp underfoot Sefton. Will chance a load of washing in view of the sun & blue sky.

Zoom dance class in a few minutes so must dash.

Have a lovely day those with plans & ((hugs)) for those of you that need them.

Good morning all from a sunny but very chilly Co Armagh
I hope it doesn’t rain , my new washing machine is thrashing about and I want to hang out the clothes
Michael that’s a great idea for appointments, so much better than letters just now . Will you print the list and pin it up ?
Marydoll I hope you get your help today from the Doctor
I have the Club this morning , there will be lots of chat

Good morning Mick and everyone from sunny Carlisle.
It's chilly at night though so I have put a heavier duvet on the bed and will be turning the CH up a degree in the evenings. I'm trying to harden myself up but I definitely feel the cold more in my old age!
Yesterday I was out front overseeding the lawn. The turf originally laid has really fine grass which seems to struggle in spite of my feeding it earlier on in the season. I also got rid of my summer bedding and put in the winter bedding. I hope to get out today as well, there's still plenty to do out back.
I'm also having a review of my possessions. Stuff I brought from the previous home, which I find has not been needed, is going gradually. Not sure I look any less cluttered though...

Have a good day all.

Good morning all from a very chilly Angus coast - 9° out and only 13° indoors. I've just switched the heating in for a quick blast!
My Dancing DG I knew had been called for an audition for Youth Dance Scotland but with only 12 places ........ Anyway, while on the train yesterday I got the news that she'd been successful! I refrained from dancing up and down the train, whooping and shouting, and managed just to sit with an inane grin on my face ? for many a mile! This will be over and above her College course and involves a series of intensive weekend workshops leading up to performances throughout the UK and abroad next summer. She is so happy.
Down to earth with a bump! My covid and flu jabs are this afternoon. Then tomorrow is my birthday and I have tai chi followed by a lunch with friends, so I"m hoping the arm isn't too sore!
So glad you've got your appointments sorted Mick, and take care with the furniture shifting grandmattie. As everyone is saying, you're so good to be doing this for your friend.
Lovely warm photos Shazza and I'm sure your Dad will enjoy his Birthday!
You must be so fed up with the waiting for your results Marydoll - things were never this bad pre-covid and I can't understand why we haven't returned to a pre-covid state.
Everybody, do enjoy a wonderful, if rather chilly, day x

Good morning all from a sunny, cold W Kent. Off to see friend who is now over a first dose of covid. She lives on her own and has seen no-one for 11 days so I expect her to talk a lot!
So pleased for your GD Taichinan both my DDs and GDs had lessons and loved it.
Good wishes to all

Good morning Mick and everyone. A cold bright morning in this corner of Lancashire today.

It’s good you have all your appointments documented Mick

A little gentle housework and pottering for me today. I haven’t read the full thread yet so will catch up while I drink my tea.

Have a good day all ??

Good morning Mick and all from Sunnyside northwest coast.
Hope your appointments are all in order now Mick and you know where you are.
The organiser of the Tuesday music club is stepping back for health reasons and three of us are taking over. Yesterday we presented him with cards and gifts.
In the evening I popped out to a local play which I didn’t particularly enjoy, they didn’t quite bring it off, leading man miscast and I have a thing about wigs being too noticeable. I thought about leaving in the interval which I sometimes do and the second half was a bit better.
My sister arrives from London tonight and I’m actually going to cook something. I have collected all the old bits from the freezer to throw in a casserole.
Turned the heating on reluctantly and need to figure out the clock. The house was hot at 1.30 in the morning…
Hope your plans are working out Grandmattie and thoughts to anyone with troubles.

Good morning all, another sunny, chilly day in Glasgow.

Pilates went well yesterday only problem is trying to remember all the moves and positions I am aiming for, then the breathing part…inhale/exhale. At least it gave Martha a few laughs. ?
DH has speech therapy this morningat our local small hospital. Happy to drive there himself which means I will have an empty unless DD1 decides to pop in! Because of oh so many roadworks here at present I had to remind him of detours all around the houses to reach his destination.
Fingers crossed all goes well for your appointment today Baubles.
Pleased you have a list of your appointments now Mick
Thank you for the pics Shazza. Fabulous memories of Menorca for me and I have looked at that exact sea view many times whilst enjoying a relaxing lunch. Happy Birthday and many happy returns of the day for your DF??

A pleasant day to all and hopefully those too who need a bit of respite from whatever worries you may have.

Good Morning from sunny Harrogate.
Glad you have your hospital appointments sorted, Mick sounds much better.
Belted birthday greetings grandmadinasaur - I would love to see Andre Rieu!!
Hope your headache has dissipated by now Sunshinesally
Safe Journey for your DH Ashcombe
Hope your chat with the doc is satisfactory Marydoll
Yesterday enjoyed my art club, we had a professional botanical artist teaching us. I did not too badly! It could have been a lot worse.
Not sure what I am doing today -probably getting the kitchen/dining room back in action after the walls and ceiling have been painted. Mind you I've still to do the doors!
Have the best day possible folks!
