Good Morning Everyone,
A dark and wet start here in brackley this morning.
Today I will do the bus to Bicester , as I have 3 days of Hospital visits in various locations from tomorrow until Thursday .
This is a build up to my day surgery next week , where I am likely to have a few days in hospital but we will see.
Take Care,
Mick

Good Morning all from Severnside. It has been raining in the night. A sunny day ahead though.

Towel washing, a few things to iron and then I’m going to do some crafting.

Happy Anniversary Mr&MrsKitty ??

Have a good day all ??

Morning all from an autumnal West Oxfordshire. I’m still in bed but will get up soon. I must book a taxi for Thursday (OH can’t drive in the morning) for my colonoscopy, change my hair appointment for next Monday as we are going to next door’s funeral, pick up a parcel and do a Waitrose shop. I’ve a stack of ironing too. I hope you all have a stress free day.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s another day forecast of sunshine and showers
A very Happy Anniversary to Mr&Mrs Kitty hope you both have a lovely day ???
It’s the start today of 2 weeks half term here for the DGC, so we’ve a little bit of helping out with childcare this week. We’re picking them up later today and they’ll be here for a sleepover tonight. DD2 works from home these days so we’re not needed quite as much as previously.
Beautiful picture grandmadinosaur
Hood everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good morning from rainy Colchester. I have only just woken after a full on family weekend and too much wine and cake.
Back to reality today with housework and laundry. I'll have to get the dehumidifier going and the iron on.
Happy Anniversary to the Lesters ??
Love to all ? x

Wow, Greyduster, what a great photo. DH took his camera outside last night when I pointed out that the cloud was clearing and the fabulous moon and Jupiter were easily visible. I haven't seen the results yet.

Morning all from a sunny S Yorks, stunning colours int he garden which needs much attention which I am ignoring - but the acers amongst the anemones lovely.

I just have the delights of electrolysis followed by the much nicer haircut n natter with my regular lady.

Phew Mick thats a busy calendar there - may all go well.

Hope bad sleeps are caught up on and family and friends enjoyed today.

Travel safe Sago hope its a clear run view wise.

BlueBalou “Must buy and plant bulbs” on my to do list.

Greyduster phew, that's quite an upheaval, hope all goes well. Super photo.

And congrats kittylester.

Hope bad sleeps are caught up on and family and friends enjoyed today, and walks are good ones.

No Matt = Monday.

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s bright but damp. Boy did we have some heavy rain last night! I slept well anyway.

We have no calls on our time today. Nada. If I feel inclined later I might sort out a couple of cupboards. One that holds glassware needs serious culling I noticed at the weekend when I needed a vase.

One week today we will be ✈️ back to our little bolt hole in Málaga for a month. I can’t wait this has been a busy few weeks at home. I’m looking forward to recharging my batteries!

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 6° and cold! There are blue skies though. Happy anniversary to Kittylester and her Mr. Fabulous photo Greyduster.
Yesterday I was in Aldi for food shopping when it seemed everyone was holding a large box. It turned out they were selling heated dryers for under £40. By the time I reached the middle aisle, they had all gone. When I was at the checkout I mentioned it to the girl who said I'll go and look in the back for you. She arrived back with the very last one in the shop. I was very lucky. Dd and the boys arrived in the afternoon and it was such a joy to play with them. Dgs1 wanted his trains out while dgs2 had a nap.
Today I'm making a big pot of lentil, vegetable and chicken soup and spiced red cabbage for Christmas which I'll freeze. Have a good day all

Good morning from sun-hiding-behind-clouds on the Sefton coast.
DGS here today so we’ll spend some time in the ‘cement pond’ (remember the Beverly Hillbillies?), play in the park, go on the bus.
Enjoy your time in Bicester Mick prior to your very busy hospital schedule and imminent procedure.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning Mick, morning all from South Lanarkshire where the sun is shining at the moment.

Happy anniversary Kitty.

Fabulous photo Greyduster.

We visited DD and her gang yesterday, their house is still in uproar but is going to be beautiful when all the work is finished. It was so lovely to catch up with all the childrens’ news, we had a couple of hours of chat and laughter, what a tonic.

Daft dug has to visit the vet this morning she has developed what I think is a cyst at the top of her hind leg so we need to have it checked.

Other than that we’ll have a quick trot around the supermarket and try to find some inspiration for meals this week.

Have a good day everyone.

Morning Mick and all

It is drizzly here in S E Essex, off to the gym this morning, than popping up to a local retail park (Mayflower) to pick up the Christmas Bedding and Christmas cushions for the sitting room (I know I have turned into a flipping Christmas Elf)

Happy anniversary to Kittylester and her husband, I hope you are feeling better ??

I hope Monday brings you some joy folks ?‍♀️?

NanKate Mon 10-Oct-22 08:28:46

Good morning Mick and All. Glad you have all your medical appointments sorted.

A very happy 52 WA MrandMrsKitty. ??.

A wet start and sunshine promised here in South Bucks.

ShazzaKanazza Mon 10-Oct-22 08:29:35

Your photo is lovely Grandmadinosaur so pleased you had a lovely day yesterday. X

Gingster Mon 10-Oct-22 08:39:29

Good morning all and it’s dark and very wet here in Essex.

We did a lot more clearing in our very small garden here. It’s amazing how long it can take to cut back shrubs, etc. DS1 said ‘how can you spend so long gardening, mum, it’s so small!’. ?.

Today I have Chiming group. Like you Gala we will be performing at the U3A Christmas show! Always chaotic and hilarious. But who cares! ?. Also the U3A choir , which I’ve recently joined will be singing a few festive songs. I hate performing but will go with the flow! ???. It’s all good fun.

Grandmadinosaur how sweet! ?.
Happy anniversary Mr and MRS Kitty . ?.
Brilliant pic Grey.
GM I loved the musical ‘Six’. Very clever!
Marydoll sleep when you need to.. Your body is telling you!
Hope you feel better soon. ?

We’ll it’s still raining so the garden will be grateful!
Have a good day, all. ???

Good Morning Mick and everyone from sunny Carlisle. We had a very rainy evening and night here yesterday but no strong winds. I went out after breakfast and planted yet more bulbs though I needn't have rushed as it stayed dry during the daylight hours.
Today the usual round of housework and laundry and quite a bit of admin. Maybe more gardening after lunch.
I hope you enjoy the day kittylester, happy anniversary!

Have a good day all.

Greyduster Mon 10-Oct-22 08:44:17

Pitt if he gets a clearer photo than mine I would really love to see it. My lens was at its zoom optimum and I was pleased it showed anything.

Good morning all from a lovely sunny Black country.
Happy Anniversary to *Mr and Mrs Kitty*? hope you are feeling a bit better.
We are waiting to hear from friend to see if his operation will go ahead tomorrow after having the flu last week, the anaesthetist is phoning sometime today.
I took a bag of crockery and glassware to charity shop yesterday Urms it's surprising how much you accumulate and dont use.
Enjoy your Monday everyone and may you all find some ?.

Georgesgran Mon 10-Oct-22 08:51:31

Lost my first post but it’s still remains bright and clear here in Durham this morning. An awful day yesterday, which resulted in DD2’s beautiful Rocky, my darling grand dog being put to sleep. He had given us 13 wonderful years and we will all miss him so much.
Mick I feel I need to be blunt, but is it not time you stopped gallivanting and self isolated in view if your planned surgery? I am taking a friend and her husband to the Freeman this afternoon where he is having an operation tomorrow and he hasn’t been over the doorstep for a week, under doctors orders. In mitigation, I can only say that a lot of GNs are concerned for your health.
Best wishes to all.

He says that it was too hazy to get a clear shot, unfortunately. The rain clouds were gathering here last night.It was amazing just looking with the naked eye.

Good morning everyone from a lovely sunny Co Armagh,
I gave in and put the heating to auto last night , oh the bliss of a warm bathroom !
I have a streaming cold , a 2 boxes of tissues job , but starting to feel more human this morning , shopping this morning, I’ll wear a mask , it will stop me scaring the horses and excuse my hacking cough !
Wishing you well for all the tests and procedures this week Mick
I saw the moon these last few nights and the bright star beside it , that’s an amazing photo Greyduster
Hope today bings some relief Marydoll

brook2704 Mon 10-Oct-22 09:03:29

So sorry to hear about Rocky Georgesgran ?

dustyangel Mon 10-Oct-22 09:16:16

Good Morning everyone, a slightly cloudy start to the day here with rain forecast about midday. I hope we do get some today as it’s been threatened all week and maybe clear skies will be back after that.
The family have another day in Lisbon today after DGS’s successful run in the marathon then return to UK in the evening.
Physio for us this morning, not much else planned yet.
I’ll read and catch up with you all later.

Gala Mon 10-Oct-22 09:26:03

We "regretfully" declined the invitation Gingster. We are very much not a choir but a group for those of us that can't sing in key/can't hold a tune/ the moaners & the groaners. We really are a cats chorus! But we do have fun.....just not in public.

Anniebach Mon 10-Oct-22 09:26:47

Good morning Auntyflo and all x
