Good Morning Thursday 20th October 2022

Good morning all and it’s very mild here in Essex but , as Sar says , we are due heavy rain later. Like you I had a rough day after my jabs but Dh was absolutely fine after his.. ?.

This morning Dh is having breakfast with his two old school pals, so I will be dropped off at one of the wives to have coffee with her.

I’ll finish off my book club book this afternoon as it’s our meetup tomorrow.

OH GM. ! Keep strong! ?.

Happy anniversary Mr and MRS Shazza. Enjoy your day together ?. ?.

Good day to you all, whatever it brings. ?

Happy Anniversary Shazza!

Good morning all from a dark and wet North Leicestershire.

Sainsbury's delivery this morning and DH has a drive this afternoon.

Good morning everyone from a very damp Northampton, with rain forecast all day. An early delivery from Sainsbury's, then dance classes this afternoon. Glad I put some washing out yesterday!

Nothing else planned, except all the usual pottering, and after that hope to finish my book club read; must order next month's book.

Oh dear grandMattie, an early awakening for you; hope you manage to get a nap in at some time today, and that your DO doesn't have any more falls.

Wishes for a good day for all.

Good morning all from a very dark, grey and rainy Angus coast. Up early for tai chi class, but after a night of very little sleep I don't think there's anything much else going to be achieved. A visit to Tesco on the way home, and that will be it.
Took my friend out for our usual afternoon cuppa and decided to go up country again while we can. The autumn colours are magnificent this year, the beech trees in particular. ???
There are so many appointments and procedures for people in here just now. I hope all goes well for everyone. Grandmattie you are a saint as usual.
Have the best day you can all x

Morning Mick, morning All. Our corner of Somerset looks dry after some overnight rain, there are puddles.

Will be out and about this morning before an afternoon of phone calls. Stress under control but it does feel very pressured.

Be careful with lifting grandmattie, your lodger is very lucky to have you to help her. A very happy anniversary to you both shazza, sounds a good day ahead. Enjoy your tv ash, I’ll. not a tell you how long it took us to get to grips with ours .

Take care everyone. Hope Thursday is kind to us all.

Happy Anniversary Shazza and your DH . You are both such a lovely couple I hope you have a wonderful day and enjoy your lunch ???

My hairdressers have out the prices up too.

don’t *

Good morning all from East Yorkshire. It’s still dark. I think a few showers are expected today.

Had a good shop in Leeds yesterday. Stocked up on undies and tights in M&S, bought a few bits in John Lewis and a few festive items in Hotel Chocolat as I had an early bird discount on my VIP card. I’ll have to hide those somewhere.

Today I need to do a small shop at Sainsburys then I’m going to a matinee at our local theatre this afternoon.

Hope all goes well today Mick

What a to do GM with your lodger I do t know how you cope with it all either especially dealing with sleep disturbance.

Take care everyone.

Morning all

Still dark, thank you for the weather forecast Sar53 saves me having to check. If my experience of the booster is anything to go by you should feel better in 24 hours.

grandMattie your lodger is so lucky to have a friend like you, but please take care of yourself ?

I am going out with one of my oldest friends this evening I have known her since our eldest children were a couple of months old. It’s just us two, so we can matter on, not worrying about including DH ?

Hope all goes well Mick ,

Have your best day folks ?‍♀️?

Good Morning Mick and everyone from Hull. It’s forecast a day of rain here today.

Best wishes today for your hospital visit Mick.

grandMattie ? you are a very special lady. Your friend is very lucky you are there for her.

Today is our 38th wedding anniversary so this morning I’m getting my hair done, it’s my full head colour today. I don’t want it to go much darker though. They messaged a reminder yesterday to ask if I could pay cash and it’s gone up by ten pounds! But I suppose everything has. I’m treating DH to lunch out somewhere today. Tonight he is treating me to a meal at the casino. He’s a treasure.

Have a good day everyone and hope all medical appointments go well.
Virtual hugs to those who aren’t well today ??

Good morning everyone, it’s bucketing down here. I can hear it from my cosy bed where I’m enjoying a coffee.
Lots of bits to do today before DS and family arrive tomorrow, so looking forward to seeing them all again.
My get up and go is flagging so not planning anything much else today ??

Good morning, from a dry Torbay but my weather App says there’s a 100% chance of rain! A change from the windy conditions yesterday.

My new smart TV was delivered and set up successfully yesterday by the engineer from a local shop, (he walked round with the set!) who is a very affable young man with whom I’ve dealt over many years. He was pleased I knew my password for BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, etc., as customers often don't, apparently. (He was too polite to say elderly ones!!)

Good luck with the treadmill, Mick! Could it be the iron tablets affecting the colour of your stools? It happens.

What a shame that your DL had a fall, grandMattie! I don’t know how you cope, especially when your sleep is disturbed. I do hope this situation is resolved soon. Please take care of yourself.

It sounds like you’re being thoroughly investigated, Ladyleftfieldover! My DH has osteoporosis and has to stay in France until just before my operation on Hallowe’en to fulfil an appointment with his specialist.

Speaking of my surgery, today I have an appointment at M & S for a bra fitting as I must buy soft, non-wired ones with front fastenings to wear night and day after the operation. Apparently, this is to reduce the potential strain on the chest muscles.

I hope everyone finds something to cheer them today. It certainly won’t be in the corridors of power!! ?????

Good morning from Essex by the sea, I believe heavy rain is forecast for later.
DH and I had our boosters yesterday. He feels fine, as usual, I feel like I 've been run over by a steamroller. Hopefully I'll feel better as the day goes on.
I have a dental appointment at 9, so need to get that over with so I can come home and collapse.
I hope you have a more relaxing day GM.
Enjoy your day everyone xx

Good Morning everyone from a dark Severnside.

I’m up earlier as I accepted a 9am cancellation for physio yesterday. I’ll probably take things easy when I come home as I feel a little anxious.

I was intrigued by your soap felting GrannySomerset. I’d not heard of it so I watched a ‘you tube’. I might give it a go.

Hope everyone’s day goes well ?

Morning all from a dark West Oxfordshire. I have to get up soon as John Lewis are sending someone to take the doors off our wardrobes! OH has been unable to take anything out since July so has been wearing a very limited, much washed set of clothes. At some point new doors will be fitted. My doors are ok, but I will have new ones so they match. What a palaver! I had my bone density scan yesterday. Very non-invasive. Ultrasound scan on Saturday and that should be it until I see a dermatologist in January. I am seeing friends tonight which will be a nice change from hospitals! Have a good day everyone. Will it be another bumper day of political shenanigans?I’d put money on it.

Good morning from a still dark E Kent.
I was woken up by a phone call from DL downstairs to say she’d fallen. I rushed down to find her on the floor, having split a couple of inches of her scar and bleeding a little. Managed to pick her up, I lifted, she pushed with her remaining leg. I then had to clean up the wound, dress it, calm her down, clean the carpet… all before 0530.
She’s got two visits today, one from the Social Services and the other from a physiotherapist. I have Spanish this morning but I’m now not sure I should go. I’ll see how she is.
All the best to everyone. Carpe diem. ???❤️
