Morning all

Those twelve weeks seem to have flown by Ash , I hope you find a buyer for your house soon grandMattie

Another one who has had a poor nights sleep, the last two actually. I dreamt I had a headache and when I woke up, yep I had a headache.

I want to do some paperwork sorting out today, desperately overdue, not a job I enjoy.

Have a good day and keep warm folks 🦩🙋‍♀️

Morning All from a very cold corner of Somerset. I’ll be pleased when fewer layers are needed

Thanks for opening Ash. Some difficult to absorb family news last night led to less sleep than I’d like. Otherwise a decent day yesterday.

We’re off into the Cotswolds today to meet my cousin, a biannual catching up treck, the location neatly between our homes. A couple of hours drive each way makes for a tiring but worth it day.

Wishing you all the best day it can be.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 8° and wet. It's certainly gloomy Grandmattie. Still dark here. What is this thing called an 'ironing board'? Ash you've come through your procedure with fortitude. It can't have been easy.
Yesterday was a fairly chilled childcare day. Dgs2 was being very cuddly and dgs1 was on a thousand questions before he left for nursery. He's a funny wee boy. "Grandma, can I tell you something?" Is his favourite line. Followed by "I've got something special for you at my house." Which was a pine cone he had picked up on his walk at nursery.
Today will be more of the same. I'm always tired on a Tuesday. Dgs2 is not a big fan of walks in his buggy so I'll think of something else to do. Have a good day all.

Thank you, Ash, for opening up.
Good morning from a dark, chilly E Kent. The temperature is 4C and forecast to be that until this evening.
Yesterday was grey and dreary, I had the lights on for most of. I always find February the most depressing month.
The estate agent came round for the photos. It was hilarious how the staging went. I had tidied up quite a lot, but still had to shift stuff. The most amusing was my “study”, where I see andbus the computer. I had to put up the ironing board (remember those Ash 😂) and drape it with bits of the quilt I’m assembling, even putting a piece under the sewing machine foot! I asked to be able to vet the photos before the ad goes live online.
I just might have a viewing this morning when I’m out. Would be nice if they wanted the house without any further viewings, wouldn’t it?
I posted DGD1’s hat and hope she gets it before the end of the week.
Today, I’m taking the tai chi class as our leader is unable to come. As I don’t have the music facilities, we do it in silence; makes for an interesting session.
I hope today is kind to everyone. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩

As Mick is away, I thought I’d open up as he usually takes a break from doing so when not at home.

Good morning from a cloudy part of La Sarthe.

Yesterday the NE wind made it bitterly cold so I was glad to be indoors. It marked 12 weeks since I had open heart surgery to repair my mitral valve. This means I can stop taking the extra medication prescribed for this period, mainly blood thinners. It also means I’m now safe to lift heavy items like the iron!!

For anyone facing this treatment, I can honestly say I experienced little pain at any stage although the cardiac rehab team advised continued regular use of paracetamol, which I didn’t need to take after the early weeks. Similarly, procedures related to my after care (removal of stitches, etc) were not a problem, despite warnings to the contrary.

No plans for today but we hope an engineer will turn up to sort the failed WiFi. I’m currently connecting to Gransnet via 4G on my phone. We’ve had several power cuts in the night: the joys of living in rural France!

Enjoy whatever the day brings and get well wishes where needed. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩
