Good Morning Friday 14th October 2022

Good Morning Mick and everyone from Hull.
Mick I’m also hoping you won’t be waiting too long.

Ladyleftfieldlover such good news from your appointment yesterday. My sister in law had one also yesterday but they couldn’t do it as there is some kind of thickening blocking the tube so she has to have a CT scan. She gets results of biopsies they took next week. ?

Sar hope your DH enjoys his birthday and your meal together tonight. ?

Marydoll best wishes for your appointment today hope the traffic is kind to you.

Grandmadinosaur he’s a delight your grandson and I’m so sorry your lovely husband has had such a tough time of late with work. X

This afternoon we are going to York to my Dad and Step mums because my half brother and his wife are coming up to stay with them from Milton Keynes so we are going for a meal with them all tonight just to a little pub in their village.
Our window cleaner has just arrived he’s come to clean all our upvc so I’d better go.
Wishing everyone a good day if possible and special thoughts to those with struggles today. ??

Good morning from cloudy Leicestershire.

Going on a walk around a local town with a historian. Apparently the place is steeped in history!

Shame about your op Mick.
Happy Birthday MrSar.
I hope kitty had a better night.

Sending hugs to all who need them.

Good morning all from Glasgow, grey skies with blue patches and somewhat milder.

I’ve had such a busy week but thankfully nothing on the agenda today and the day is mine to do as I please Bliss.
GD1 who is a 6th yr pupil gave a talk to 1st years pupils yesterday concerning bullying. She is a very caring girl and I am sure would have given great thought on how to get across, how damaging bullying is. Proud Granny?
Be careful you are not overdoing things Baubles. It takes a good while for your body to recover after what you have been through. Your health comes first and if you are feeling too tired, look after yourself and rest.
You too Marydoll although I know from experience, you never do take a telling. ??‍♀️?
Hoping you had a good sleep last night and not still awake again in the wee small hours kitty ?

Wishing a good day for all and gentle hugs for those with worries of any nature.

Good morning all from a dull Black country.
Just some ironing to do today then may start a new book.
One of my younger brothers is 60 today, I can remember at the age of 9 coming home from school there he was and my reaction what another brother yuk. We get on ok now.
Best wishes to anyone celebrating, safe travels those on the move and virtual hugs where needed.
I shall have some breakfast and catch up with everybody's news, enjoy your Friday and may you all find some ?.

Good morning from a dry NE.
Today would have been our 55th wedding anniversary, I will spend it on my own and remember all the good times we had together.
DD still testing positive for covid, it will be two weeks tomorrow. Her sick note expired last Monday so she has had to work even though she was still poorly.
Thoughts are with those who are poorly and their carers.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 8° and damp. I slept late and woke feeling a bit dazed after bad dreams. Such a pity about the delay Mick. What a charmer Grandmadinosaur.
Yesterday I had an unexpected visit from dd and the boys which meant chaos for a couple of hours. It's always nice to see them though.
Today I'm going to see a friend for coffee. It's just over a year since his partner died and he's slowly coming to terms with it. Another friend should have joined us but she messaged me this morning with a covid result so can't come. Have a good day all.

Good morning from a dull and grey Black Country.

We had a lovely few days in Swanage. It was so warm and sunny even sat on the beach for a few hours one day. Lovely walks across the coastal path from Studland. The Blues festival was very good, enjoyed it immensely.

Catching up on washing today, impossible to catch up on all your news over the past week, wishing you all a good day with special thoughts to all who a are struggling.

A late good morning from a chilly N. Bucks .
DGS2 safely delivered to school and little brother collected my his Mummy.
Both as good as gold last evening/night.

Today I am meeting DD1 for coffee, booking a manicure and then on to lunch with 2 friends .

Wishing all as good a day as possible.

harrigran ? for you today

Good morning all from a sunshine-and-showers sort of day in the Angus coast. 10° so not too cold.
Oh dear Mick, I'm so sorry. Just when things seemed to be going smoothly at last.
Good news for you ladyleftfield, and happy birthday to Mr Sar and Gala's GD2.
I'm off out to lunch with an old young friend today - my late partner's ex DiL. Lots of gossip and chat to look forward to in lovely surroundings way up country. A long drive along a long, straight old drovers' road is involved, to an equally old drovers' inn where the food is always good. Then on Sunday I'm off in the other direction to St Andrews to watch DD's New Man's sons kite surfing or sand surfing (or something) on the West Sands. Oh, and tomorrow there's a visit from Dancing GD and friend + car and newly-achieved driving licence! I think by Monday I shall be a highly satisfied gibbering wreck! Building lots of happy memories for the cold winter months - but why does everything in my life happen at once!
So off I trot, with thoughts for those going through hard times just now ???. They will pass - they always do x

? from me too Harrigran x

Good morning from sunny Sefton.
Sorry to hear of a further complication for you Mick; may it all be speedily resolved.
Getting the house back into some sort of order post decorating plus finishing touches will occupy me today.
As I often find nowadays, I post then go back to read everyone's news. Enjoy Friday and the sunshine if possible.

And me harrigran ?

Harrigran

Harrigran enjoy your happy memories today.
Lovely photos Nannyjan
Sorry about your bad dreams Grandmabatty. I never remember my dreams, but this morning I woke up with the words "a stick of rock and a dirty window ledge" ringing in my head. ?????

Urms, I'm at the clinic masks are mandatory and being handed out a the front door of the hospital with signs everywhere.
I wonder why the rules are so different.
I know what I prefer. Its a small price to pay for keeping safe.

harrigran ?
Happy birthday wishes to Gala’s DGD and MrSar.
???
How appalling for Mrdinosaur.

Thank you Taichinan. The dreams involved two good friends being nasty which they definitely would not!

Good morning everyone from a grey and damp Northampton. I am so late this morning; dozed in bed and thought it was 8am when I got up only to find it was 9 o'clock!

Didn't do too bad at dance classes yesterday, considering I'd missed two weeks. Except I am about half a step behind everyone else, as I just cannot remember the routines! When I got home I had a look to see what films were coming up at our local art-house cinema, and found a couple to book. One called 'Emily' about Emily Bronte, and a whodunit, 'The Glass Onion' starting Daniel Craig.

Will have a bus ride to our little local retail park this morning, have a coffee and cake in M&S Food, and a wander around the shops. Then this afternoon I must get my teeth into our book for this month, 'Sorrow and Bliss' by Meg Mason.

Have a good Friday everyone.

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

I had a similar iron problem before my cancer surgery too Mick. I had an appointment with the anaesthetist and a second iron infusion, with the surgery following a few days later. I hope you don’t have to wait long.

I had my annual eye exam yesterday. My vision is deteriorating but could be improved with surgery, so I’m being referred to the new super Lancashire Eye Centre in Chorley. New glasses should also help, so I have handed over a huge sum of money (maybe the lenses are ground from enormous diamonds!) and the new glasses will be here in 3 to 4 weeks.

My hands are now almost completely clear and much less painful today. Mr. B and I are off out for a pub lunch. It’s a place we haven’t tried before in the village where one of our nieces lives.

Great news LadyLFL, that must be a weight off your mind.

Hope today’s appointment goes well and they can do something to help Marydoll.

Well done on the weight loss Urms, just in time for your next holiday too .

Thinking of Baggs and family. A poignant day Harrigran ?

Have the best day you can all. ??

Good Morning all from bright and dry Harrogate.
Sorry about your disappointment, Mick you need to get a jar of vecon, with from a health food shop or internet. It's a vegetarian stock paste which you can make stocks for stews, spread on toast or make a drink with it. It specially for vegetarians who often miss out on iron containing foods.
Pleased with you new Ladyleftfieldlover. Haven't read all the posts yet, will catch up later. Hoping to go to an Art Fair in Harrogate today, dragging DH with me. His fault for stopping me driving!
This pm I have DGD coming after school. I'm making a point of not allowing her to watch TV until we have had an activity. Apparently she's having remedial lessons for reading, so will try to get her reading. She loves colouring in, but that doesn't help with reading.
Hope your RA appointment is painless Marydoll
Have the best day possible folks

Good news llfl what a relief for you.

? forHarrigran

Harrigran?.
Good news llfl you can relax now.
Mike hopefully delay won't be long.
Marydoll hope all goes well today.
Thoughts are with those with worries.
Have a good day everyone.

Should have read Pleased for you Ladyleftfieldlover

Good morning everyone from a sunny Co Armagh, not been out but I don’t think it’s very cold
I’m still testing positive , so no visitors , no outings , getting used to it
Eldest has me txting every morning to prove I’m still alive I think that’s ver much overkill !
I had a txt last night saying I Had been in contact with Covid and a number to ring , but my ap told me last week it has stopped contacting people so I guess it’s a scam ?
Harrigan it would have been our Anniversary last weekend too , it did give me pause
Marydoll I hope the appointment goes better than you expect
Bags no words xxx
It’s been an hour since I started typing , youngest was on the phone
I know many are sad just now , prayers will be said xxx
