Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark and wet here in brackley this morning .
Today a small local shop later , but this year has been very hard for me as to the amount of appointments at various hospitals in the area mainly Oxford.
I only hope 2023 sees fewer visits .
Take Care,
Mick

Hello from me too absent. Your name made me think about the early days of GN too.

Really looking forward to your visit Kate.

Morning to everyone from a cool and damp Co Durham.

Lovely visit yesterday from Dgd and her mum and dad on their return from spending Christmas in the sun. Santa had left more gifts for her.

No plans for today, I used to clean the house ahead of New Year’s Day but not any more😀. We’ll probably stay up till midnight to toast the new year.
Wishing everyone a happy and healthier 2023.

A later.good morning from a damp and grey Northampton. Stayed in bed till 9.45 am, dozing on and off, unusual for me. Just had my tea and ginger biscuit, awaiting the arrival of one of the cats on my lap, but, uncharacteristically for her, she is still asleep in her bed.

Had a little shopping trip out yesterday afternoon after it had stopped raining; it was very quiet, think everyone must have been out in the morning. Got everything I needed and enjoyed tea and a bun in M&S Cafe.

Nothing planned.for today, shall read the Saturday papers, and probably watch the Agatha Christie film on IPlayer that I forgot to record yesterday. I have a mini turkey breast to cook for this evening, and will stay up as I enjoy watching the fireworks from London on NYE. Must put a bottle of fizz in the fridge.

Wishing all a Happy New Year.

Good morning all from wet and windy Lancashire. I had hoped to get out for a little while today, but it isn’t looking likely. Mr. B and I used to throw big parties on New Year’s Eve, the last one was the year before my brain injury. I don’t have the energy for it nowadays but will stay up for the bells.

I never know whether today or tomorrow is the better day to give best wishes for the coming year. So in case in case I or others aren’t up in time to greet the coming year, I’d like to wish you all a good 2023. With happiness and better health especially for many of you including Mick with less hospital visits and Marydoll with a much improved surgery and better access to the medications she needs.✨

Just had quick FaceTime with DD, she has been poorly since Boxing Day. I nagged her Thursday evening to ring GP first thing Friday, she did and she has severe tonsillitis, multiple antibiotics, throat sprays etc. She was looking forward to NYE with her boys, now she is already looking forward to bedtime.

She said that she feels ten times more poorly than when she had Covid.

Good morning Mick and all from a damp northwest coast.
DS and I had a nice day yesterday, out to country village and lunch. In the evening watched The Empress on Netflix after she cooked omelettes. My gammy right arm (no lymph nodes) and arthritis in the hand led to an unsettled night and I have a support on it now.
DS leaving for the south soon after lunch with old friend on the way and I shall be left to my own devices after having visitors and family since before Xmas. Will let the new year in very quietly.
Will read through later and good wishes to all for ‘23.
