Good Morning Thursday 5th January 2023

Hope you manage to get an appointment for your stepfather Urms and that he has had a trouble free night.

Good morning Mick and everyone from grey Carlisle. Please send me some sun soon someone!

I successfully got rid of a stack of ironing yesterday and today will tackle the bathrooms then I shall tackle my book. Unless there's a chance to get outside...
Sometime ago, I completed what I thought was a trilogy--three very long books. Then I discovered there were 2 more, also very long. I completed those recently but, lo and behold, there were 2 more! One I read over Christmas, now I'm 20% through the last. There are definitely no more in the offing and the author is dead. Whilst they have been very interesting, I'll be happy to start on something else.

Happy birthday kittylester, I hope your day goes well.

I love those roscon grandMattie but it's no use me trying to make one as there's only me to eat it and I'm already suffering the effects of Christmas goodies, there's rather more of me now!

Wishing you all the best day possible.

Good morning. Another grey day but not windy today. Managed to get some washing out on the line yesterday. It didn’t dry completely, but the worst of the wet was blown away. Will iron it later.
Happy birthday 🎂 🎉 kitty and J52. Enjoy your day both of you. Hope all goes well at your volunteer tearing today kitty - don’t overdo it though.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 6° and damp. Happy birthday to J52 and to Kitty.
Yesterday I visited mum but she had decided to go back to bed. I spent longer with my friend so that was ok. In the afternoon I drove to Stirling for afternoon tea at another friend's house. We had a lovely couple of hours.
Today is another doing nothing day. I'll potter about and get a washing done. I'm enjoying these later mornings as it'll be back to early rises on Monday. Have a good day all.

Here’s Matt.

Good morning everyone from south Manchester. I’m anxious about my stepfather there’s a lot going on right now. I don’t lik e to ring him in case he’s had yet another nose bleed during the night and is simply catching up on his sleep. Himself & I have a plan of action for once he’s phoned me. If I don’t hear from him in the next half hour I will phone him. Then we either get in the car and take him somewhere or if he’s managed a crisis free night, I will ring his GP surgery again. This is so worrying. He is stoic and never complains but this situation is scary now in a very elderly man.

Have a good Thursday all who can.
48 posts to read and it’s only 9am! This has become a very popular thread hasn’t it? I will catch up later today. x

Happy Birthday Kitty and J52.🎂🍾🎁

Good morning Mick and everyone from a wet but not raining now, Oxfordshire, at least the cold wind from yesterday seems to have gone away.

Dog walking today and more decluttering, all going into crates, stacked very neatly in the garage, when the weather improves it will all come out to be sorted properly.

Happy Birthday Kitty and J52 enjoy your special day.

Hope everyone else who is poorly soon starts to feel better, take care of yourselves.

Good morning, I have only had a quick scan through but noticed J52 and Kitty have birthdays so, Happy Birthday them.
DD1 will be coming in for coffee later,
This afternoon is the first 2023 meeting of our sewing club,
Wishing all good day with a smile along the way.

Happy birthday to J52 too !

Happy birthday to kitty. I’ve woken up to a brighter dry day for once. I planted some tulips I had forgotten about in a pot yesterday, but couldn’t find any chicken wire to cover so mr squirrel will no doubt find them !
I’m going to my gym class this morning - I have missed 3 sessions due to my cataract surgery and Christmas, so will be stiff no doubt tomorrow.
I will take down the little outside tree lights today as mine are the only ones left up in the street ! Indoor decs will stay till 6th . DS popped in last night for a chat . They are having their loft converted into a much needed third bedroom. They have had a two year wait! The twins have been sharing up till now but desperately need their own space. An old house they love but it may have been easier to move tbh
Wishing everyone a good day , each day is nearer Spring now !

Thank you for the Birthday wishes.x

And a happy birthday to J52 too!

Thank you Kitty.Happy Birthday 🎂 to you as well.
Hope you’re recovering well. X

Good morning all from Stockport.
I haven’t opened the curtains yet so can’t report on the weather.
It feels milder but oh I am so fed up of the rain.

I was supposed to be going out today, to a shopping outlet with a friend, however she has a bad cold so I cried off.
She suggested wearing masks but I feel I have been there and done that and don’t want to do it again.
I have escaped Covid but so many people are so ill with this cold and cough that I don’t want to risk it.
I am stopping being a people pleaser at last.

My GD is working from home today so must find things to do out of the living room, perhaps bedroom drawers will get sorted.

I hope the birthday girls have a lovely day, well done kitty in getting some normality back.

Have the best day you can everyone.

Super photo, Alygran!

Happy birthday kitty and J52 and hope the volunteering goes well and you feel well enough to go out for lunch kitty.

Shazza, I’m glad your son has now tested positive and 🤞🏻your DIL doesn’t get it.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Wyllow is spot on with our South Yorkshire weather. It’s certainly calmer than yesterday. Yesterday I did my usual half mile walk, took one crutch and only had to use it once to negotiate a patch of sludgy leaves. This morning I feel as if I have been run over by a bus! Still, no pain, no gain hopefully. DD is coming over this morning to take me food shopping and hopefully set my new microwave up - if she can lift it. If not it will have to wait until DS comes down on Saturday.
A Very Happy Birthday to you, Kitty, and anyone else with a birthday today🎂🍾💐
Have the best day you can, folks.

Morning from S Lanarkshire, a hasty one today with a few things that need attended to.

Happy Birthday kittylester I hope you have an enjoyable day.

GrannySomerset, I’m glad yesterday went well, not having one’s closest friend anymore is a huge loss.

Thinking about you too Marydoll, hope things pick up for you.

Among other things today I want to purchase a door curtain and all the necessary gubbins. Then call on a DF who is struggling.

Wishing everyone a peaceful day 🦩🦩🦩

Happy birthday j52, apologies for missing you earlier.

Good morning all from cloudy South Lanarkshire.

Got all the Christmas stuff packed away yesterday, I wasn’t even sad to see it go, what’s happened to me?

We’re off to Edinburgh today, back to nursery and school pickups.

It occurred to me that I haven’t been out since a quick supermarket visit last Friday which isn’t great. I think we are both feeling a good bit better this morning, this lurgy has been awful.

Love your bake Mattie.

Happy birthday Kitty, have a lovely day.

Glad the.funeral went well GrannyS.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good Morning from an overcast but mild S Yorks.

Probably just the gym: its the only day this week no house calls as Sky tomorrow so nice not to have to get everything ready another morning.

Yesterday the decorators finished midday and all downstairs is spick and span. It is time to look forward GrannySomerset tho will be hard for you

In my case my divorce from abusive husband nearly through but am doing counselling it was yesterday but is helpful

Happy birthday kittylester and J52

That cake ring looks delicious, Grandmattie good about house sale.

Lovely time there, Shazza

Good morning from North Yorkshire. There’s a beautiful sunrise this morning.
Happy birthday Kitty andJ52
Waiting for a call from the GP about my dermatology appointment. It’s not till June and I would like to see someone sooner.
Spent most of yesterday doing accounts and spreadsheets. Just about all sorted so I’ll finish it this morning. If it stays fair I’ll go for a walk later.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning and happy birthday Kitty and J52.

Yesterdays lunch was delicious in our local Turkish restaurant. We all enjoyed what we’d chosen and will certainly go back again soon. Little DGD said her chips and ice cream were the best she’d ever tasted! 😂.

Today I have bowls club and I’m hoping Dh will come along again. He’d rather not but he needs to get out more and he’s a good player. That’s part of the problem as he’s very competitive and doesn’t ‘suffer fools gladly’ . Oh dear! 😢.

It looks a nice day out there - mild, still and dry.
Hope your days are good ones 🤞

Good morning s somerset is dull and damp so far and the somerset levels are doing their job of holding flood water. I am glad we never bought down in the levels, I would hate all that worry

Knitting again today and I have become addicted to the little house on the prairie, there are an endless number of programmes. I am skipping some as I want to reach the end before my prime contract ends as I am not renewing

I think I will make minestrone soup today minus the pasta

Have a peaceful nice day

Happy birthday to the birthday ladies!

Happy birthday, kittylester and it’s great to hear of your return to volunteering and for such a worthwhile cause. Enjoy the reward of lunch! 💐
