Good morning all from my room in the sky.

We had a bit of a drama during the night, when I had a heart episode on my way back from the loo.
I'm feeling a bit rough this morning, to say the least.
Fortunately, I was the right place!

Lovely staff and my hotel room, complete with bed socks, provided by a kindly nurse, mean that my stay has been pleasant. DS brought flowers last night, ( not allowed), but a lovely nurse found a vase for them.
A video call from Dollie also helped keep my spirits up. At one point she said: ^ I miss my gran, I would do anything for my gran.^ 😇

Being a cardiology ward, it is so calm and quiet. The last time in HDU , I was in a mixed ward and got very little sleep.
More tests today, because although they know something is wrong, the tests are inconclusive. It looks as if I'm going nowhere soon. Life is never simple for me. #everthedrama queen!

Poor DH is a bit stressed with it all. I suggested that he did not try to park at the hospital, but at Braehead Mall instead. Did he listen? He spent half an hour circling the hospital car park, gave up and went to Braehead. I was becoming quite stressed, when he didn't appear and I hadn't heard from him. Apparently he got a telling off from the children. 😄
DS said that it was a lesson for DH. It proves I am always right!

Thank you for all your kind wishes yesterday.
Sending best wishes to all who are poorly and for those with plans, enjoy.

Good morning Mick and all from a brightening south Hants.
Ashcombe - I hope the er blockage is quickly and easily eliminated!
We had a lovely evening as DH and I were invited to our neighbours house for dinner, along with another couple. As I was charged with making dessert I made a banoffee pie. I had also made a pavlova - but it hadn’t behaved itself - so I left it weeping in the oven! I shall look again at it again to see if it’s salvageable - even for Eton Mess.
DH is planning on going fishing today so I’ll be dog walking solo today. Not sure if I’ve got GDs today or not so DDog may have to wait if they turn up early!
Have the best day you can - good luck to those with medical appointment. Thinking of those that are poorly and low in spirits 🦩🦩. Marydoll I hope there is some news for you and a workable plan that you’re happy with.
🤗 and 🌻 for you all x

Good morning all from a very mild 10 degrees East Yorkshire.

Didn’t get a lot done yesterday due to workmen being here in the morning
and power being off for a while. A trip to buy more cleaning stuff, black bags etc after lunch. Then a coffee out before collecting GS from school.

Today I’ll do a bit more sorting and await a parcel delivery.

Hoping Marydoll is being a model patient and that they coming up with some answers for her 💐

Good morning all from a still dark North Leicestershire where the temperature is 9°.

I need to go to the butcher this morning and also to Waitrose for the bits that were missing from my Sainsbury's order.

DH is preparing to ring the gp at 7.55. He needs a blood test before his next hospital appointment.

We are then going to continue the hunt for a new kitchen.

Good morning from the South Downs, which is a mild 8c.

Yesterday I made a start on my bees and butterfly bed - weeded , pruned 4 clematis and have begun to mulch and the bark it, but it is taking longer than I expected so will continue with that today.

Have been invited to my sisters this evening to eat and we are going to sort out photos stored at my sisters that we collected from mums after she died 3😮 years ago. Mum was very good at purloining stuff she fancied, and there are quite a few of my children as babies that we took but which mum decided that her need was greater than ours. Be nice to have them back and assemble them into an album. There are also diaries of my favourite aunt that I inherited and mum “borrowed” I will re-read them with great pleasure. Diaries of a Cornish lady🙂.

Just made tea so will enjoy that before trogging out with the dog. He suffers from in growing hairs between his paws which blow up in great discomfort and then burst, which one did yesterday. He has a big hole now after I cleaned it up but at least he can walk ok now.

Have a magnificent day everyone.

Good morning from a cloudy Sarthe.

I’m glad many of you enjoyed the sunset pictures yesterday and the difference in colour between those and grandMattie’s was striking!

Our soak away is giving problems (I’ll spare you the details!!) so we have a man coming to dig it out and clear the ….. er……. blockage this afternoon. The joys of rural living…!

Enjoy whatever your day brings and I hope Marydoll managed to sleep last night. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning from a dark, dry e Kent.
I had a busy day yesterday. Spanish class (not too hard this week), tea with a friend, taking papers to the solicitor, assembling my patchwork and making dinner.
I was gobsmacked to receive an email bill from the Guildhall, venue for DH’s wake. I hadn’t paid but assumed that some kind anonymous person had done the honours. No, they had been “short staffed” and remembered 7 months later. They aren’t even sure if I have paid or not!
I have the purchaser’s surveyor visiting around 0830. The DGS is coming this evening, bless him. At 18, I don’t expect him to visit his old grandma…. I am the only person in the world allowed to hug him, not even his beloved mother! 🤣
MD, I hope the hospital is getting to the bottom of your symptoms and needs, and you can watch wall-to-wall Turkish soaps from your bed!
I hope today treats you kindly. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning, it’s a damp start here in northwest Wiltshire.
Yesterday was a tetchy, restless day for me, I did quite a lot of tidying up various bits but couldn’t settle to anything. I’m wondering if the change in medication is partly to blame?
Today I am going to do some painting, I need to sit and focus and stop fidgeting!

Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark but dry outside here in brackley this morning.
