Good morning and it’s wet, wet, wet, here in Essex. I think it’s rained all night and will continue for the day.

I’ve got my bowls group this morning - haven’t been for about 4 months, due to one thing or another. DH will drop me off and will take DD to pick up her meds from the hospital. Why they can’t send the script to her surgery I don’t know. They don’t make things easy do they.? 😤.

Dd is still on the steroids and her face has puffed up . I don’t know how long she’ll be in them for ! She’s feeling ok though (atm) 🙏. Her recent scan showed she has a shadow near her groin. She will see the oncologist at the end of the month. 🙏.

Urms I’ve lost the recipe for SOAP, sorry! Could you send it again please.

Let’s hope we hear news of Ash soon.

Love to all.🍂🍁

Good morning from rainy Colchester.
I saved a pile of ironing for today as I'd seen the forecast. Not much else on the agenda. I feel like a real #lazygran compared to GM
Love to all 🦩 x

Good morning all from a dry East Yorkshire.

Yesterday all went well on my journey to Leeds. I had time for a little browse in the shops. There were some lovely things in John Lewis and TK Maxx. Couldn’t buy a lot with going to the theatre. I enjoyed the show although I had to change seats. I was on the end of a row and the last seat in front was a wheelchair designated one. I had less leg room and my feet either side of the wheel in the wheelchair. I got moved to a house seat the row behind where I had an excellent view. Won’t book that seat again. It was bucketing down when I came out at the end. When I got to the railway station yes you've guessed it my train was cancelled. I was glad I’d stopped for a quick McDonalds as I had to wait half an hour for the next one.

We are going for our Covid jabs the morning. I want to change to the duvet today and GS here after school.

Hope Ash is making good progress.

Take care everyone.

Morning all from a still dark West Oxfordshire. OH and I are going out for lunch today to one of our favourite places. This evening I am meeting friends either in person or on Zoom. In the meantime I am waiting for news on our new lounge curtains. I had a text the other day to say they are nearly ready. Oh, I’ve still got a stack of ironing to do. Have a good day everyone.

Here’s Matt.

Good morning everyone from Málaga where it’s mild even at this early hour. I haven’t looked outside yet nor looked up the weather forecast.

The Boy Wonder & L’il Miss were taken to see Disney on Ice in Manchester last night - mum had won four tickets. She texted me last night to say they’d had a brilliant time and posted a couple of photos to my inbox which I’ve just opened. Isn’t technology wonderful?

Glad to hear the SOAP dish was popular grandMattie! My you were busy yesterday. I think you have ants in your pants.

Hope all is well for Ash and that ‘skinny minny’ GG13 is feeling much better this morning. Great news yesterday Kalu what a boost for you both.

Enjoy Thursday all who can.

Good Morning everyone from Severnside. Dark and wet here too Mick.

I’m off out just before lunchtime to run a few errands. I went to look at the library website the other day and found that my card had run out last year. There is also a Christmas magazine I want to buy and see about the results of a blood test I had a few weeks ago.

I think, well I know you do more in a day than I do in a week Mattie.

Have a good day all and if you’re out and about brolly up ☂️🌧

Good morning from a very wet Essex by the sea. I believe the rain is due to last most of the day.

Food shopping this morning no other plans.
Have the best Thursday you can everyone xx

Good morning from a still dry (just) E Kent. The weather is promised to E absolutely horrible a little later…
Had a “quiet” day yesterday. I sorted, washed, dried, folded and ironed 4 loads of clothes.
I went to the supermarket where I found myself a lovely violet knitted dress forDD’s installation.
I’d seen some watercress in the farm shop which I purchased and took to a dear old friend up the road who is unwell and loves the stuff.
I put DL in the garden for half an hour after struggling to get her over the latest ramp (which doesn’t fit properly). Mercifully, I didn’t do myself an injury. She isn’t fat, but a grown woman is heavy!
After a rest, another of DL’sfriends came with her dog…
I made a bag the transport of the nativity tomorrow. Made SOAP for dinner (which was very well received, thanks Urms) and a mincemeat tart for dinner. Was wiped out by evening and in bed by 2100!
So much for a quiet day!!!
Spanish this morning, packing this afternoon.
Still nothing from Ash or her DH.
Have a quiet day, one and all, free from sorrow or pain.Carpe diem. 🦩❤️🦩🦩🦩
