Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark and looks cold outside here in brackley this morning .
Today , I will have a breakfast with a difference no caffeine , due to my appointment at the Churchill in Oxford on the Exercise bike , the appointment should last an hour with bike lasting 10 minutes where they like a treadmill increase pressure as though going uphill, I looked at the video of what they and breathing apparatus also used .
Otherwise it will be a break from my routine , I also contacted my Doctor as to giving a update ,and he will ring me in over a weeks time to catch up on where I am as I did tell him as to what changes as to poo colour etc .
Take Care,
Mick

Damp morning as I wait for hairdresser to come and tidy my thatch. Then a meeting about the children’s corner in church and later a trip to the village for a much needed facial, an occasional treat.

So sorry to read of DDs worryingly unwell. I can cope with life if the family is OK but it is so hard when there is little one can do. We take our health so much for grant

Granted not grant!

Good morning from a dreich, wet day in Glasgow.

Successful visit to and from Perthshire. I do this drive so often Marydoll my instincts take over plus I have a good supply of coffee, nibbles and Spotify as I tootle along.
Bits n bobs all done with, ?a little help from my friends??
All done in time to have lunch together then I headed home around 4.00pm. Mission accomplished.

You really are a saint GM, your friend is so lucky to have someone so caring in her time of need.
Enjoy your meet up in Edinburgh with your friend Grammarreto, a day to ‘yourself’ is a must now and again.
I have the afternoon to myself today - whoopee.

Best wishes to all for a good day.

Good morning all from a very wet W Kent. Off to art group this morning and then a quiet day with the ironing, always a price to pay for going away!
Happy Anniversary Shazza hope the hair colour goes well.
Best wishes to all particularly those dealing with hospitals and medical stuff in general.

Happy Anniversary *Mr & Mrs Shazza*?. Enjoy your special day.

Good Morning from a dark, dank wet, N.,Cambs., ! Such a change from the lovely bright Autumnal days we've enjoyed recently.

We have the decorator/painter in this week doing our sitting room, the rest of the house is full of "stuff", hope to get straight before our DD & DGDs come to stay next week, (half-term).

Best wishes to Mick & all who have appointments this week.

Happy Anniversary ShazzaKanazza, wine

As others have said, take care of yourself grandMattie, you are such a good, caring friend to your DL.

Warm thoughts to you all, especially those with health worries for yourselves & your families.

Good morning Mick and everyone. A cold, dark and gloomy morning in this corner of Lancashire. Hope your tests go well Mick.

No real plans for today, other than housework, Gaelic studies and physio exercises.

Happy Anniversary Shazza ??

Wishing everyone a good day and hope for some improvement for those with troubles, themselves and their family.

Good morning everyone from a lovely sunny Co Armagh, such a change from the thunder and lightning last night ,
Chair yoga was great yesterday at our Village club , but I think we need it oftener . It’s over two years since the tutor visited .
Nothing planned for today

Morning everyone. Rain is pouring down here in Sherwood Nottingham. So dark. I thought l heard thunder earlier. Supposed to be going out for a meal with U3a don't really want to get soaking wet. I'd better get ready just in case it stops raining. Hope everyone has the best day they can.

Being rushed out by DH, have only read a few posts but have noticed

Shazza’s 38th W.A.

Woohoo. ???

Happy Anniversary Shazza ??. Good luck to people having tests. It's raining here and very dark. Gm you are a hero but take care of yourself. Harrigran?.

Good morning from a very wet Oxfordshire, Mick hope your appointment goes well.
GM your DL has so much to be grateful for in finding someone like you to care for her, although it doesn’t bode well for her when she moves out and is alone when she falls.Please don’t offer to stay with her until she ‘settles in’.
Mr and Mrs Shazza Happy Anniversary??
I was too late to post yesterday but here it’s much of the same, MissOops continues to progress and is up most of the day on the sofa with her leg on the large footstool, still on painkillers but she is getting a bit stir crazy, MrOops has promised to take her to her home tomorrow for a while, if he can slide her up and into the back of the car!
Apart from that it’s tidying up a spare room ready for MzOops and Master Oops who are arriving on Sunday, plus adding to the online shop, they are without an oven at home so are craving baked food, I have a list of their preferences ! Cheeky pair.
Anyway, let’s hope the sun comes out today, and hugs for those who aren’t feeling so chipper.

Good morning Mick, Annie and all.
Yesterday I had my 4 weekly infusion at hospital and was given my next 21 days worth of chemo tablets. Then an X ray to try and pin down the pain and weakness in my upper arm. All accomplished in record time, so my volunteer driver did not have to wait too long for me to be finished.
Today I had thought we might go for a drive somewhere, but the weather is miserable and I don't feel too great.
Tomorrow DD is coming for coffee and bringing supplies from the Cook Shop. I also have a small pile of things for her to take back home. If she can fit them in her Smart car!
Saturday, we have DS, DIL and GS visiting. I'm not sure if they will want to stay overnight, but am prepared if they do. No doubt we will find something for them to do and GS will wear us out with his abundance of energy.
Monday sees DGD and DGGS here for a flying visit. It all comes at once doesn't it.
As we are going away for a short break soon, I am trying to save up some energy. Would be nice to bottle some from DGS.
? for Harrigran.
Happy Anniversary Mr and Mrs Shazza.
GrandMattie, I do hope that your DL is not exhausting you.

Have a good day one and all.

Happy Anniversary Shazza and MrKanazza enjoy your meals??

Good morning Mick and all from a dull northwest coast.
Hope your cycling goes well Mick and everything moves forward without hindrance.
I’m full of cold and irritated as I must cancel art tomorrow and an important rehearsal, which means putting band members out and rearranging more run throughs for next gig.

My neighbour has told me a tree is in a troublesome leaning position at the side of the house against my sitting room wall, but I haven’t even bothered to look as the pounding head etc is sending me back to bed. My gardener/handyman will hopefully sort it.
I received my legacy from my dear late BIL yesterday, very kind and very useful.
Thoughts to grandmattie and anyone with troubles.

Thinking of you today harrigran

I was amazed to read a year had passed since you lost your DH. ?

Too late for Good morning. It has just stopped raining here in West Sussex and a blue sky has appeared.

I woke up with a headache and all over aches. Coffee and a paracetamol have helped a bit. Packing for a weekend away with DD, DSiL, DGDs age 7 and 3. Should be lively ?

Thoughts with all coping with illness, their own or family/friends and those with sad anniversary. ?*Harrigran*. Auntieflo hope you feel better and enjoy your time away.
