Morning all

Beautiful quilt grandMattie you are such a talented needlewomen. I would definitely see your local pharmacist, DH had conjunctivitis the other week and the pharmacist sorted him out.

Just about to wake up the 7yr old, then I shall cook his breakfast and prepare his packed lunch for school. He was excited going to bed last night as it’s his birthday party after school (laser tag) It’s not his birthday until Saturday, I think he will be bouncing until then.

Pleased your dentist visit was ok Susan56 I sympathise as I am dental phobic also.

Jane a good day folks 🙋‍♀️🦩

Good morning from a chilly South Downs. Heating doesn’t come on until 7am and the bedroom feels decidedly cold this morning, but a bright sparkling day is forecast with full sun all day. I shall be sunbathing in the conservatory later.

Ceiling man coming today hoorah! Stuff due from storage next Tuesday - double hoorah.

I shall carry on mulching, weeding and feeding. An Algerian winter iris has got rather large, so I shall wait for it to finish flowering and split it. The flowers are gorgeous and the scent delightful, so it is worth looking after. I need more cyclamen Coum as they look so pretty with the snowdrops.

Like the quilt gm a nice gift.

Well must just drink my tea and get up for our early morning constitutional.

Have a good day folks.

Good morning everyone from a very frosty Northampton, -3° outside at the moment. Up early because I am planning on a day in Milton Keynes, and I need to get an early bus into town first. Got up and thought "the house feels warm"; I had forgotten to turn the thermostat down before going to bed last night.

Dental appointment went well yesterday; like Susan, no injection, no drilling, and it was all done painfree, in about 10 minutes.

Enjoyed a lovely health walk after lunch in glorious sunshine, then home to my slow cooker Bolognese for dinner. Have just put the remaining three portions in the freezer.

What a beautiful quilt, grandMattie, clever lady. Hope your eye gets sorted today.

Still no sign of my necklace, ah well...........

May Wednesday be kind to us all.

I pay monthly for Denplan Ash so not too bad.

Pleased to hear your positive report on the dentist, Susan56. Possibly painful for your pocket?!

DH thinks it’s too cold for Le Mans today. He hasn’t slept well either so an indoor day, sorting his (very muddled!!) paperwork beckons. 🙄

Good morning from a very chilly North Leicestershire. Alexa tells me that the temperature is 0°.

Our gardener is coming today and will hopefully clear our top bed and do a planting plan.

I have a hair appointment at lunchtime and will have to race home as we have a kitchen planner coming this afternoon - exciting and scary!!

I was going to suggest seeing a pharmacist Mattie - much easier. Love the quilt.

Have the best day possible everyone!

Susan56 Wed 08-Feb-23 06:41:08

Thank you Ash.The dental appointment went well.The tooth was repaired with no injections or drilling🥳It’s never as bad as I think it will be but I still get myself worked up every time😩

Good morning from a chilly Sarthe at minus three!

What a beautiful quilt, grandMattie! Sorry to hear about the conjunctivitis - it’s possible that your optician could treat you for that from what mine told me a while ago. Would that be more convenient?

Do wrap up warmly, Mick, if venturing out.

We’re planning to visit Le Mans today. I love the old part - Vieux Mans - but I expect we shall be mostly in the warmth of the mall which includes a large branch of Auchan.

Enjoy your day out, Susan56, and I hope the visit to the dentist wasn’t as bad as you feared.

Take care and happy hump day! 🦩💐🦩🥰🦩

Good morning from Shropshire.

The quilt is beautiful grandMattie.

You should be able to get help from a pharmacist for your conjunctivitis under the minor ailments scheme to save you waiting at the minor injury clinic.

Today we are going over to Cheshire to see my mum.We have booked a table at her favourite Italian restaurant for lunch.If she feels up to it we will do some shopping and then visit my dad’s grave.

Have the best day you can everyone🦩

Good morning from a clear, moonlit E Kent. I suspect it will be as cold and frosty as yesterday. Lovely day though.
I’m going to ask a friend to take me to the minor injury clinic in Deal, as I have a terrible attack of conjunctivitis and I don’t think I have a snowball’s chance of seeing a GP.
I finished the quilt first thing yesterday and hope to give it to Philip’s girlfriend sometime soon.
Don’t know I’ll be doing today - depends on the eyes.
Carpe diem, dear friends. 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good Morning Everyone,
Its dry but cold outside here in brackley .
I may go to local supermarket for a small shop later this morning, as the cold air does not seem to to agree with me with my condition .
Track cycling on TV later see how GB do.
Take Care,
Mick
