Good Morning Thursday 20th October 2022

Just enough time to say good morning from a dull & dampish Sefton.

Off out to Zumba.

Positive thoughts to all those with hospital appointments & those of you with troubles & worries.

Welcome Vintagenonna ?

Hi Vintagenonna ?

Thankyou for your lovely messages. I’m going to get ready to go to the hairdressers. DH did me avocado and poached egg on toast for breakfast.
I usually save my Good Morning thread to read as it’s a two hour appointment but I’m reading the fifth Bridgerton book. It’s a load of fluff and nonsense but an easy read X

Greetings from soggy Hampshire. On the plus side, the colours of the leaves on trees and shrubs are worth getting wet for.

Good morning from a rainy NE.
Today is the first anniversary of DH's death.
My sister and BIL are taking me out to lunch and then we are going to a shipbuilding exhibition.
DD sent me a message first thing, she is still recovering in Brussels but will travel to the UK in a week's time.
Take are all.

Good morning from a very wet and dull Black Country.

Thursday morning walk today, but I suspect it may be cancelled, as it is tipping it down at the moment.

Such a lovely day yesterday, we even ate our lunch sitting outside.

Our u3a is having a meeting this afternoon with a speaker talking about scam awareness, so I will try to make it.

grandMattie you certainly go above and beyond. What a wonderful friend you are, but please look after yourself too.

Happy anniversary Mr & Mrs Shazza have a lovely day,

Hoping all hospital appointments go well today.

*Pitt*, I clean my condenser once a month. You will see the My last two dryers, had the condenser at the fromt and it was just a matter of pulling it out.
I was mortified at how dirty mine was! ?

Our condenser is inside the machine as it's a washer dryer. The man did it last time as it was under guarantee and it's a b****r to get at.

Happy Anniversary The Shazza’s ?❤️

Good morning. I am running late this morning so have not read through the thread. I’ll come back later.
I’m off to a singing/dancing group with DGS3 this morning and my sewing group this afternoon.
Happy Birthdays, Anniversaries to all who celebrate today.
Hope all medical visits go well. Thoughts with all who have worries .

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders.
It's just stopped raining.
I'm meeting a df in Edinburgh this morning so had better get a move on. One day to "myself" is allowed.
I took DMiL for her Jag and out to lunch yesterday in the rain.

Can't one of DL's friends sit with her while you are at Spanish GM?
You must keep your life going. It is called looking after yourself ?

Happy anniversary Shazza. Congratulations ?
Have a good day. That applies to everyone.

Good morning from rainy Colchester.
We had a lovely meal out last night at a local restaurant courtesy of a gift voucher. It was a tasting menu and all very MasterChef. I lost count of the courses but there were at least 3 desserts. I was stuffed.
Today we'll walk the 10 minutes to Boots for our flu jabs then home out of the rain.
I need to get DH to take the back off of my washer dryer as apparently the condenser needs cleaning. I've been told it's easy to DIY and will save paying a repair man.
Love to all ? x

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 9° and very wet and gloomy. Not a nice day outside. Happy anniversary to Mr and Mrs Shazza. I hope you have a lovely day. Grandmattie your lodger is very fortunate that she has you at the moment.
Yesterday's visit to mum was really nice. I stayed for well over an hour and we chatted about lots of things. Normally I visit my friend afterwards but I'd forgotten she was away for a few days at her caravan. I felt out of sorts the rest of the day and not exactly unwell but tired and grumpy.
Today I'm feeling more like myself. I have absolutely no plans so lots of pottering. An hour or two of Spanish is on the cards. Sausage casserole for dinner.

Morning all.
After a run of gorgeous days, its the mists and mellow look outside but its getting darker and I think rain. Just as well my lovely young gardener came yesterday, she did a great job on cutting the hedge tight back and oh how lovely a weed free patio.

So many medical appointments today may I wish you all, all the very best with them, and if you have someone nice to go with, go for it! enjoy family outings.

Cleaner pops by here and I'm off to the gym for a good stretch-out.

granMarie take care, I hope its not for too long.

Good morning all from a wet Black country.
Housework and a local shop today, then over to the club this evening to meet friends.
Lots of you with hospital appointments hope all goes well
Shazza happy Anniversary enjoy your day ??.
Have a good day everyone and may you all find some ?.

Good morning all from dull Harrogate
Your DL is so lucky to have you GrandMattie but you must take care of yourself too.
Glad you’ve got your TV up and running Ashcombe
Yesterday took my hearing aid to York District hospital for repair, then had to walk through the city (no stopping for shopping) to catch the bus to Monk Cross, where despite finding the opening hours on line, John Lewis was closed down last year!! Great disappointment! Had lunch in Sainsburies and got the bus back to the station and back home. Today after Sainsburies delivery I’ll go to John Lewis Leeds!! They definitely are open!
Or at least Grandmadinasaur was there yesterday!!
Have the best day possible folks

Good morning all from a wet Glasgow.

Mick, as Ashcombe has already said, iron tablets and infusions can cause discoloured stools, I'm surprised you weren't advised of this.
I hope your appointment isn't too taxing. Fortunately, I have managed to avoid the treadmill for years, due to it being unsuitable for me.
Grey, I hope you also get on well with your appointment.

I plan to do a small shop at Sainsbury's and that's it. I seem to have slowed right down at the moment. I have DH's waterproof trousers to alter, (he keeps tripping up.) so the sewing machine will need an airing.

My tablet isn't working, so I need my IT hat on. I fear like me, it's on it's last legs and needs replaced! ?

Happy anniversary to Mr & Mrs Shazza, have a lovely day.

Georgesgran and Baggs' daughters and their families have often been on my mind.

Wishing you all a pleasant say, whatever your plans.

Good morning all from soggy South Lanarkshire.

It’s our day of not quite childminding as DDoutL is still on Maternity leave so we just help out a bit. Not sure what we’ll do with the children in the rain, not the best school holiday weather.

Look after yourselves and have the best day possible.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s cold and raining, hoping it brightens up later
Happy Anniversary to Shazza enjoy your celebrations today ???
Nothing much planned for today but I have got lots of housework to keep me busy.
Oh gMattie sorry to hear about your DL fall and such a disturbed night, please look after yourself too, you must be exhausted
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings ?

good morning from s somerset. Last night the forecast said dry so a big wash of bedding was on timer to finish about now. It is raining, drat.

Here’s Matt.

Good morning everyone from a very misty Málaga. Oo-er mother. We will go out at some stage even if it’s just to eat this evening. Our two tapas bars downstairs will be buzzing tonight as Barcelona are playing so if we want a table we need to shimmy in before 9pm.

I’ve started a great new novel last night, called ‘One Last Time’ by a Norwegian writer called Helga Flatland. It has been translated into English by .... (I can’t remember). Anyway it’s my kind of book, family dynamics and I’m itching to crack on with it today. I’ve realised how much I read when I’m out here. The tv hasn’t been on yet. At home I do a lot of catch up of programmes.

Hope your exercise appointment goes well today Mick.
grandMattie your dear lodger will be shaken up today and it will have brought home to her just how vulnerable she is. Maybe once she’s living independently in her new flat she will move about much more cautiously.

Good morning from a dark misty Leicestershire - I can’t see the hills from my bedroom window.

Popping into town this morning but may go alone if it is raining then NWR here this evening discussing my favourite subject - food.

Happy Anniversary Shazza and thinking about all those with worries and pain.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Just getting light in South Yorkshire. Hope the tests go well today, Mick! I slept badly last night. A lot on my mind at the moment. I have a marathon stint at a nearby hospital today, having an assessment for a hip replacement. DD has insisted on coming with me. It will be a long day for her as I have to have all sorts of tests. If she gets fed up, there’s a garden centre nearby or she could go home to mine and pick me up later! I would!
Happy anniversary Shazza??!
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning everyone from a dark and dreary North Yorkshire where rain is forecast for much of the day. OH out all day again doing his volunteer driving. Gardening won’t get done with the weather but plenty of indoor jobs on the list. Must note down what to mention to GP ready for tomorrow’s telephone appointment then I don’t forget to relate some symptoms. Best of luck to all for today and hope you make it to Spanish grandMattie
