Good Morning Wednesday 2nd November 2022

Good morning all from sunny Harrogate
Your days are as busy as ever GrandMattie
Hoping that Ashcombe is comfortable having had her op.
Yesterday’s lunch was superb and the company was great. Today have to go to York to pick up my repaired hearing and microphone- it will be great to get them back! Might do a bit of shopping while there. It’s a lovely city.
Hope Marydoll is feeling better
Have the best day possible folks

Morning all! I seldom post but regularly dip in here. What an active, positive and cheery bunch you are. Quite lovely in fact..... Great to read of your daily ups and downs and activities. The colour was so pink that I popped out of bed and stuck my nose through the curtains and vertical blinds. What a joyous sunrise greeted me. I made some time to 'stop and stare'. Back in bed now. More bliss!

Morning all from S Yorks where the sun is just coming up.

After a very busy yesterday, taking it way today: have to drop off an important document off in the morning, then it's a maybe to gym and midweek Quakers. I never ceased to be amazed how much lots of you accomplish but as I've got CFS have to take it easy.

Good energy news Mick and best wishes for poorlies and family troubles.
May the day bring only pleasant surprises.

Morning all

The 7yr old GS has had his full english and will be off to school soon (8am) smelling of Jo Malone Orange Blossom shower gel. DH has an early meeting followed by a lunchtime meeting both relating to his hobby so I will have a leisurely shower then drive over to the retail park and try to get a head start on the Christmas goodies cupboard.

Hopefully we may hear from Ashcombe or olddudders later.

Thinking of MaryDoll 💐

Have your best Wednesday folks 🙋‍♀️🦩

Good morning from a sunny but nippy Oxfordshire, out this morning with the Nephew for a wander around a book shop, leaving Miss and MrOops to rest with the dog.
Good that you are feeling perkier Mick
Best wishes to Ash and I hope Marydoll is also perking up a bit.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning all, it is dry and breezy so far in Glasgow.

Just waiting for time to pass until 12.30 when DH’s Oncologist will be phoning with results of a recent CT scan re. the dormant tumour in DH’s left lung. Yet another emotional rollercoaster to ride.

I don’t have much more to say this morning except, I do hope.a positive day is ahead for all.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 6° and dry. It is chilly here and I've got the heating on. I hope Ash had a comfortable night.
Yesterday dd and dgs2 and I went to a large garden centre to look at Christmas stuff. It was very underwhelming but the service in the restaurant was excellent. Dgs2 has a very good appetite and demolished a plate of sausage, scrambled eggs and hash browns. It was nice to spend time with dd as she is back to work next week and I'll be back to child care on Monday and Tuesday.
Today I'll visit mum then my friend who hasn't been well at all. She ended up in hospital overnight last week while she was away at her caravan. I'll take her some flowers to cheer her up.
Later on I'll do some Spanish and potter around. Have a good day all.

Good morning all from a chilly Glasgow, its only 7°C, so the heating is on! Low temps affect my health, so we are trying to be careful, but sensible.

I had hoped OldDudders would pop in with news of Ash, so I hope she is ok.

I still haven't heard from my GP 😡 and am running out of the latest medications, which were to tide me over, until the biopsies come back. I am becoming quite anxious about it all, even my RA consultant couldn't access the results, despite my treatment being put on hold. So once again, I shall have to face the dragon receptionist!
I know I am not alone. A friend whose transplanted liver is failing, has been waiting for over a month for results of an urgent CT scan on her liver. Its shocking!

DS1 is coming to watch the football with Mr MD tonight and always has dinner with us, since he comes straight from work.
However, a certain little miss has been very annoyed that she hasn't previously been invited, so now both DIL and my beloved Dollie are coming. I'm beyond ecstatic!
Thank goodness for batch cooking, I will be able to rustle up something from the depths of the freezer.

Grey, I'm glad you are liking your car, enjoy! I have been thinking of changing mine for a while, but Mr MD thinks it's pointless and a waste of money, if you get my drift. 😉 Unfortunately, I have to agree. ☹

For those with appointments, I hope all goes well.
Wishing you all the best of days, whatever your plans.

Kalu fingers crossed. 💐

Good morning from a slightly brighter Black Country.

Busy day yesterday. Gym, then on bus to Wolverhampton to meet Mum then DS for lunch. Mum got confused, she had gone into town, then home as she thought I was meeting her at her house. Then realised I was meeting her in town so got back on bus into town! DS got soaked walking to the cafe in his suit as he had no brolly or overcoat!! I lent him my brolly to go back to the office.

Today I am off to Birmingham to meet a group of friends for lunch. It is lovely to go on train there for free with my senior pass . Can use it on any train journey in the West Midlands.

Hoping Ash is recovering well. Thoughts and best wishes with her and her DH.

Fingers firmly crossed for your DH Kalu

After a noisy night this morning is calm and golden though the forecast is less enticing. Visit from the chiropodist this morning, singing this afternoon and then history society this evening, the first meeting for two years. This feels like a busy day but doesn’t compare with grandMattie who is surely a candidate for canonisation!

Kalu and Mr Kalu, I will be thinking of you. 💐

I rang the surgery at 8am and am 34th in the queue!!!

Good morning all from a sunny W Kent. After a busy day yesterday socialising its off to the Drs this morning for DH to have his shingles jab.
I hope all those waiting for Drs and results get some news.
Best wishes to all

Good Morning Mick and everyone from Hull it’s a bright morning.

Kalu what a nervous few hours you have this morning. Really hoping your DHs phone call brings positive news💐

Grandmadinosaur enjoy your show in Leeds.

I had a lovely visit to Mum with my girls yesterday. Had a usual giggle especially when my Mum came out with her usual mantra ‘it’ll see me out’ and DD rolling her eyes and saying ‘oh Grandma what are you like’
Had super snuggles with the GDs.
Today I really need to do some dusting. This afternoon picking up GS from school and DS will stay for tea when he picks him up. We haven’t seen them since GDs party on Saturday.

Have a good day everyone and hoping those with family stress and worries have some respite today🌻🌻

Good Morning Mick and everyone from a rather grey Carlisle where high winds and rain are forecast around lunchtime.
I have to go out, my car is getting its annual service and its first MOT, and it's an hours drive down the west coast. I am so far sticking to my old garage which we have been with for countless years. It will be windy down there for sure!

Thinking of Ash and hoping she is getting on well.

Have a good day all.

Good morning from S Lanarkshire, still dry and calm but not going to stay that way evidently.

I forgot to take my iPad to DD’s on Monday, so couldn’t post yesterday but guising with DGS went well and I got to say the long unused here, ‘Roses are red, apples are green, please give us our Halloween’ although he insisted on adding the horrible ‘Trick or treat’ as well.

Today it’s Exercise class and coffee catch up as usual but I’m slightly concerned about the weather forecast re rain and high winds. I might take the train.

DD3 called last night in high dudgeon about the ending of ‘All the Light You Cannot See’ which I had strongly recommended to her! I should have warned her about the ending which, to be fair, I had found disappointing too! Great book though.

You’ll be looking forward to your renewed childminding days Grandmabatty, enjoy, the time goes past so quickly doesn’t it?

As always, thinking about our poorly and wishing everyone the best day possible 🦩🦩🦩

Kalu, meant to say fingers very much crossed.

Good morning all from a wet underfoot Sefton but it has stopped raining. A late start for me this morning, unusually I have slept uninterrupted for at least 8 hours. Now feel very groggy but my morning zoom exercise class will no doubt sort that out. No plans for the rest of the day. Must get cracking. Will come back & read all the goings on later with a cup of coffee & a naughty biscuit
Take care.

Good morning from Sefton where it is dry and bright.
DS’s birthday today. As it’s Wednesday we’ll have fun with the DGC. The Ring doorbell, which misbehaved on Hallowe’en, has decided to work again.
Thinking of Ashcombe and all others who need healing vibes.
Whatever your plans, have the best day.
🌸

Good morning Mick, grandmattie and all from a lovely clear-skied Angus coast. It was 12° on the hall thermostat when I came downstairs so the heating is on for its morning one hour boost. How I give thanks for my floor-length "oodie" - it's amazingly cosy, particularly with the hood up. I don't care what I look like!
Glad to hear that Ash has come through her op and wish her a speedy recovery, made easier by having old dudders with her again.
Kalu my thoughts and heart are with you today 💐
I went to see DD yesterday, and she's definitely on the mend - becoming decidedly fed up with herself and therefore me!
I took those pesky 1 and 7 balloons to her for DGD's 17th on Friday. I opened the boot carefully, took hold of both the strings and the weights - and I'm sorry, nay furious, to say that 7 made a successful bid for freedom, leaving me with just the string!! I didn't even see it go, and there has been no sign of it since 😡. The most angry-making and frustrating thing was there was absolutely nothing I could do!
Oh well, on the grand scale of things it doesn't even figure as a blip.
Today is the day I usually take my friend out for a drive, but the forecast is dire for this afternoon so we have deferred it until Friday which is forecast to be lovely 🤞. I think I shall get on with domestic tasks this morning and reward myself with another boost of the heating in front of afternoon TV later. Be still, my beating heart!
So sorry to hear of all the tales of difficulties, particularly in accessing doctors. That feels so wrong, doesn't it.
Have the best day you can everyone x

Kalu🌺 hope news is good. It's a lovely morning here am going for haircut ,then dropping some bags to charity shop then picking up Gc from school. Hope Ash is improving. Hope you soon get through to Dr Marydoll.

Keep warm karma and carry on.
🎈*Taichinan*!
🤞*Kalu*.

Good morning from a hazy NE, much cooler than of late.
Lovely day with DD and SIL, had a vegetarian lunch which was delicious.
We spent the afternoon at a shopping outlet and I managed to purchase a birthday gift for my sister, some seasonal cards and some trousers.
After tea we watched The Good nurse on Netflix, really enjoyed the film.
DD is coming this morning and we will do the grocery shop.
Best wishes to Ashcombe 💐

My fingers are also very firmly crossed Kalu x

Kalu I expect you will jump when the phone goes for your husband but I hope you both jump for joy afterwards. x
