Good Morning Wednesday 22nd February 2023

Good morning all and it’s dreary here in Essex. Rain forecast later so Dh probably won’t go fishing. He’s having breakfast with his two old school pals first.

Dgd1 is home from Uni for a few days so we’ll go out for lunch somewhere with Dd. She will pick up her little sis from school which will be so exciting for them both ! ❤️.

I loved that book too Bluesapphire

Wishing you all a good day

Good morning Mick and All.

Cloudy in South Bucks.

Marydoll what a stressful time you are having. At last you seem to have a Pharmacy that can meet you needs, hurray.

Kitty hope you get your kitchen sorted out soon.

Off to visit a friend who has just moved into a residential home, which of course won’t be like her own home, but she couldn’t cope on her own.

Then I’ve asked DH to take me out to lunch 😋

Happy Anniversary Baubles 💐

Baubles happy anniversary to you both xx

Happy Anniversary Baubles.

Here’s Matt.

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s been draining as it’s quite damp out. Alexa tells me it’s 6°C at present with cloud and showers later. Ah well, we’ll be wet inside too as we are meeting friends this afternoon in a good old pub near their house. The half hour walk will do us good. I’m really looking forward to seeing them as we’ve not met up in months. They don’t live far away but Life gets in the way of Life sometimes doesn’t it?

I’ve got cooked veggies left over from last night so will fry them up for tea and send Himself down to the larder for a small piece of gammon to roast, some vine tomatoes and a jar of piccalilli. An easy meal for when we get home.

I tackled my friend about her recent comment on our walk yesterday and I’m pleased to report I feel SO much lighter and we are still good buds. We’ve arranged to meet up next Tuesday lunchtime to see ‘Joyland’ at HOME in Manchester. I just wish being brave didn’t tie me in knots beforehand.
😊

I have a GP appointment to discuss my stubbornly high blood pressure and recently acquired breathlessness and am hoping for a simple solution though I am not optimistic. Then craft group, where I form a slow learner group of one, and singing this afternoon, so a busy day. Fine and calm here, which is good.

Sorry Marydoll is so beset still, though an efficient pharmacy is a help. Don’t envy grandMattie the next few weeks/ months though when we moved in 1996 we managed it in six weeks from putting the house on the market to moving in. The owners of the house we were buying happened to use our solicitor, which helped enormously though we had to have a different one for the purchase. Things seem to be much more complicated now.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a damp South Yorkshire where we had overnight rain. Mick think about wearing a mask while you’re out and about this week, please.
I did a couple of productive hours in the garden yesterday, cut down and got rid of a phygellius that was getting too big for its boots, pruned the roses, cleared a couple of large pots that I borrowed from DD last year and had a general tidy up it was nice to be out in the sun but today I am feeling it and hoping a hot shower and a couple of ibuprofen will put me right. No real plans for today except to sort out the conservatory which has become a bit of a dumping ground this winter.
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning from a Shropshire.

I am going to visit mum with DD1 and the children today.DD2 is meeting us there.We will go out for lunch and then have promised the children a visit to the ice cream farm on the way home.

Hoping for successful GP appointments and pharmacy calls for all who have them.

Have the best day you can everyone🦩

Good Morning Mick and everyone from a dull damp Hull.

Happy birthday to your GS Grandmabatty 🎉

Happy anniversary to you both Baubles have a lovely day 🥂💐

Georgesgran your poor little grandsons thank goodness all is well.

Today I need to do some dusting especially in the spare room as my sister is coming up to visit.
I’ll be picking up Grandson from school later. On the way home on Monday I asked him what he would like for tea never expecting an answer but for the first time in his 8 years he said tuna and rice please. I was so chuffed. I’ll ask him again tonight and hope he tells me again. 🤞

Have a lovely day everyone. Thinking of those struggling with illness and family worries. 🌻🌻

Good morning from a damp underfoot Sefton. Hope it brightens up later but we did need a bit of rain, February has been quite dry.
Zoom dance class very soon, must get a move on. Bit of a garage sort out & tip visit as well this morning & a theatre visit this evening.
Take care all.

Wishing the Baubles a very Happy Anniversary! 💐❤️🥂

Good morning all. It's absolutely chucking it down with rain this morning, but it is forecast to turn into a sunny afternoon. I hope so because I'm taking my friend to her favourite cafe 'up Country'.
Things are moving forward for you Mick - you'll be glad now when it's all over. You too grandmattie. A couple of days looking after yourself sound like an excellent idea, and not before time! I watched The Piano last week too Mizuna - it was a lovely uplifting programme. What talent lies hidden amongst us. Because if my deafness I can no longer hear music properly so I suppose my attention was more on the people themselves. Music must be a lovely creative outlet for your daughter.
Have a good day everyone, and enjoy your sunshine - in whatever way it comes x

Good morning Mick and everyone from a greyish damp Carlisle.
I'm about to go into town to have my hair cut, it's beginning to annoy me so needs some drastic pruning. I have a prescription to pick up and bits and bobs to buy. I'm hoping that might include a sweet pepper but I'm not banking on it due to the current veggie 'crisis'. Then it's back for a little housework and more reading of the sci-fi book I started yesterday. Somewhat hard to grasp some of the odd ideas in it though. I have to admire the imaginations of some authors.

Wishing everyone who has them, success with their medical problems. I'm glad you don't have to add to your stresses by wrestling with problem pharmacies Marydoll.

Happy anniversary to Mr&MrsBaubles, have a lovely day.

Good morning from a dull, dreary day in Essex by the sea.
It's turning colder and looks like it may rain.
A long visit to the Opticians yesterday, new varifocals and I was told I have the beginning of cataracts in both eyes.
Today I need to start to pack for my few days away at DD1's. I have a few clothes at her house so that I don't need to take too much with me.
No other plans today.
Have a good day everyone xxx

Good morning from the NE where we have drizzle and 6 degrees.
SIL coming to take me shopping, haven't got a clue whatI am going to buy for meals, I am bored with the usual things.
Must get him to look at my tablet as Google has stopped working.
Happy anniversary Baubles, enjoy your day.
You all seem to have a busy day planned, hope all goes well.

Happy Anniversary Mr&Mrsbaubles 🥂💐

It's pick up Gc from school this afternoon there are 4way traffic lights near gs school with very long queues 😩.Happy anniversary Baubles🍷🍷.Have a good day all.

Happy anniversary Mr & Mrs Baubles. 🎉🎈

Good morning all from a grey W Kent. Just about to nip down the road for my free hearing aid batteries and then DF coming for a cuppa, she is in the middle of a house move from a house to a bungalow and says she feels very scared so we can talk it all over.
Happy Anniversary Baubles.
Sorry you are missing Dollie Marydoll
All the best

Happy Anniversary to Mr and Mrs Baubles! Enjoy your day!🍾🥂.

Then craft group, where I form a slow learner group of one
Oh that really made me chuckle GrannySomerset! 😁

Happy Anniversary to the Baubles! 🍾🥂❤️
And bet your little grandson is fizzing with excitement today Grandmabatty! 4y old already and the baby toddling. Time passes in blink. Hope your appointment goes well Mizuna breathlessness must be quite scary the feeling of not getting enough air. Ashcombe you’ll miss Old Dudders but they do say absence makes the heart grow fonder! Hope things go well for you today Mick you’ve waited a long time with some unpleasant episodes to deal with in the interim.

Good morning from a damp but brightening Co Armagh
Club in a few minutes , hope to visit a snowdrop garden later
Sorry to see you are still in the throes of vertigo Marydoll
Mick good luck , but wear a mask if you feel you must go on buses

Good morning all from dreich Harrogate
Happy anniversary to the Baubles
Good luck with your appointment this pm Mick
Vertigo is a horrible thing to put up with Marydoll hope you find that balance soon.
I had DGD after school yesterday, she informed me we are having pancakes another day, which is tomorrow when we can all be together, it means I’ll have quite a pile to make, but it will be fun.
We all seem to be a bit breathless these days! I have an appointment this pm with a respiratory consultant, in the Hope my breathing can be improved .
I don’t envy you GrandMattie just hope it all goes smoothly.
Have the best day possible folks

Good morning Mick and all from a brightening northwest coast.
More music today as taking the bus for a change to lunchtime recital, flute and piano and returning a blouse to Primarni.
The upset in the committee of music club yesterday resolved by another attender offering back up to be on the desk in charge from time to time. It was a poor turn out and a strange slightly chaotic session. I didn’t sing, overtired with bad back after sister’s busy visit.
Very pleased DD promoted to In Flight Manager for long haul.
You will soon have your op out of the way Mick and happy anniversary Baubles
