Good Morning Friday 14th October 2022

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.

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.

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 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 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 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 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 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 everyone from a bright and breezy North Yorkshire. Not sure what we’ll do today, DH wants to go for a drive somewhere but I’ve much on my to-do list, his is empty as usual. Funny that. Yesterday’s double jabs were postponed due to staff shortage at the surgery so another 2 weeks to wait. Our twin GC are expected in 4 weeks so I want to have all my jobs done as much as possible and still lots to do in the garden and allotment. We’ve been given more cooking apples so must sort those but the freezer is already very full and haven’t even started on ‘you know what’ baking.
Hope everyone has as good a day as possible with much sunshine.

Good morning from Sefton. Damp underfoot and there are some pretty pink clouds about. Late start for me this morning. Wish I could get in 8 hours sleep more often.

GD2's 3rd birthday today. Family birthday lunch in a Chinese restaurant. She has cosmopolitan tastes my granddaughter. But first a dance exercise class & Pilates should pique my appetite.

So disappointing for you Mick, but for the best, as everyone is saying. ?for everyone awaiting hospital appointments or procedures. ((Hugs)) for those that need one. Hope you all have as good a weekend as you can.

Good morning from a mackerel sky in S Hants, good news for you llfl.
I’m pleased your relative is being seen speedily baubles and hope they get continuous help.
Well done Urmstongran fingers crossed the other scales mirror yours!
We’ve got my children and grandchildren here tomorrow for lunch so I’ll be busy making a bolognaise sauce later and a veggie sauce for lasagna’s. I hope Tesco deliver all the essentials, I have home grown garlic.
Thoughts with those struggling.
Enjoy your day if you can ??

Morning all

Oh dear Mick that’s disappointing, but better to have your iron levels sorted out first.

I have been awake since 4am, curtesy of an iffy tummy, will not be venturing out today …

Wishing you all a fab Friday ?‍♀️?

Good morning everyone from north Kent where it is grey but dry.

A morning in the garden beckons; have been waiting for stuff to stop flowering but the time has come to plant some bulbs and wallflowers. Need to cutdown some bushes in the front garden as well.

This evening DH and I are going to our local theatre to see “The Thrill of Love” about Ruth Ellis so looking forward to that.

Hope you all have a good day

Good Morning everyone from dreary Severnside.
Happy Birthday to MrSar ??

I’m off to do the weekly shop. Lots of Christmas goodies appearing I see. I am only looking at them though. I am on a mission to lose some weight mainly for health reasons. I think I’m doing quite well so far.

Disappointing about your op Mick.

Not nice at all for your DH Grandmadinosaur I hope it will be resolved soon. DH had a spell of work bullying and it was an anxious time.

Have the best day you can all ??

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s dry just now and looks windy
Hopefully not too long to wait before your operation is rescheduled mick
I had a good day yesterday tidying up more stuff in the garden, there’s not that many leaves down yet though so there will be lots more tidying later. Today I’m off to the gym for a splash around in the pool and then to Tesco for a bit of grocery shopping.
Awww such a little charmer grandmadinosaur
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is kind and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good morning from a grey skied Colchester. Another damp, mild day..yuk. I can't wait for sunny and crisp!!
DH is off for the weekend so I have time to catch up on stuff. I'll have a pootle around the shops with my birthday vouchers. It's too busy in the City centre at the weekend.
I tried to book my Covid booster as us youngsters under 65 are eligible from today. The only centres are miles away. Hopefully more appointments will be added soon.
Love to all ? x

Here’s Matt.

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s dry and mild. I’m off to see the practice nurse shortly for my weigh in and hopefully a repeat script of the Orlistat which certainly help me to focus fully on low fat foods. By my scales I’ve lost 5lbs in 3 weeks so I’m delighted although I’ve a long way to go. The surgery has dispensed with mask wearing now. No staff wear them and the huge signs about them has been removed from the huge automatic entrance doors.

After that, I shall walk back through the park, pick up a coffee in the square and head over to the salon to have a manicure ready for our holiday on Monday. Whilst I’m out Himself said he’d make a chilli. Good man.

I can sense your disappointment Mick. Hopefully your iron levels will soon come back up and you can get your op.

Enjoy Friday all who can. x

Morning Mick, morning All from a cloudy corner of Somerset

We were out for a while yesterday once the sun came out, enjoyed it but goodness was exhausted afterwards, getting very irritated with my lack of energy. Can’t blame anaemia as my bloods were deemed ok.

Disappointing news mick if sensible, hope your levels right themselves soon. That’s better news baubles. Happy birthday to your husband sar. Good news ladylfl, enjoy your family time.

My thoughts with all finding life hard going. Hope Friday is kind to us all.

Morning all from S Yorks

Little fresh air walk planned

Very tired so will just wish all best days possible.

Mick so sorry it is postponed but good news there Ladyleftfieldlover

Good morning all .
Little DGD stayed last night and slept and ate well. Such a good girl and very resilient - just goes with the flow considering what her mum is going through. I will drop her to school and walk the dog.

Little pooch is at the parlour this morning and lunch out with our Friday pals.

Hoping all your days are good ones. ?

Good morning Michael and all GNs from a chilly South Yorkshire where the sun is just putting in an appearance. Mick sorry about the surgery setback. Lots of iron rich veg on the menu I think. The heating has come on this morning, so at least I know the new boiler is doing it’s stuff but the plumber needs to come back today because the thermostat is not the right one. I had just got my head round programming the other one! Then I have to write him a large cheque?!
Cleaning today, and then some fresh air as I wasn’t outside enough yesterday.
My thoughts to all who have burdens to bear?.
Have the best day you can, folks.

Good morning from Durham where it’s barely light. I set off at the crack of dawn to sit in a cold, empty house awaiting a visit from the water board. The window is 7 AM to 1 PM so I’ve everything crossed that the engineer is an early bird!
Sorry to hear about your cancelled op Mick - such a nuisance - I hope your iron levels rise soon.
My friends DH is quite unwell after his operation and is to have no visitors. However, he is running short of essentials, so I’ll take some through for him later.
Hoping for a good weekend. X

Good morning all from dark South Lanarkshire, I think it’s dry outside.

Work today for four hours. I am tired after yesterday though, DS, DDoutL & DH were moving furniture around and doing various bits of DIY while I looked after the children. We didn’t get home till after eight.

Thanks for your concern for my relative, they are being seen by someone from the mental health support team today. It was very nearly a tragic outcome.

Wishing everyone the best day possible.

A dark start but it looks dry here in Oxfordshire, yesterday was very misty until late afternoon, then the sun came out. A busy working week, but I'm working at home today which is nice. Need a vet check up for dog, he seems under the weather.
Expecting a big Sainsburys order at lunchtime, lots of cake making provisions as I'm making 2 Xmas cakes and also DD1's celebration/ birthday cake for next weekend.

You are in very good hands at the Churchill Mick it is a world leading cancer centre, I know from experience, unfortunately.
Wishing you all a peaceful Friday.

Good morning all from East Yorkshire. Just seen the most gorgeous sunrise with the deepest of orange skies.

More pottering yesterday. A nice coffee out in the sun and a lovely time with GS after school. He’s a little charmer. On leaving he told me he loved me and when it’s Valentines Day he wants to spend time with me because he loves me ?

Today I have a workman coming early doors. It’s to connect us to a different broadband company. Quite ironic since it’s my husbands company. The same one who since getting new investors on board are now trying to oust him. Due to that it’s been a horrible few months. They have been quite brutal and made the situation such that he wants to be out and he is now going down the legal route to do so. Oh happy days.

Thoughts to all with good and not so with medical issues.
Baggs has never been far from my thoughts ?
