Good Morning Saturday 25th February 2023

Which I wrote at 9.00 am. 😂

Good morning all from a chilly but sunny Glasgow. DH’s consultant was delighted to see the progress he has made in a relatively short time. Yesterday was a good day.

I am sorry to hear what your DD is going through Gingster. Also present at DH’s consultation was his MacMillan nurse, he has two, which have been a great support and return my calls whenever I have a query. I would recommend getting in touch for support from them.

Best wishes to all for a good day.

Oops…forgot to send my post!🤯

Good Morning from showery Harrogate. Better late than never, I'm getting so forgetful! Yes, I don't envy your task GrandMattie can be a bit disheartening. Hope your DD finds help soon and will feel better Gingster not very nice for her.
I'm PM you Mick in case you have a chance for a meet up in Harrogate
Today isn a nothing day, not doing anything in particular
Have the best day possible folks!

Just noticed my Good morning post hasn’t posted 🤦‍♀️

Happy Birthday MrC 🎂🎉

I really like Harrogate Mick enjoy your break.

Just back from Aldi, cleared out the fridge (I have no idea why/how a fridge gets crumbs in it) refreshed the birds food now sitting down with a latte and catching up with GN before reading my kindle.

Have a good day folks 🦩🙋‍♀️

Good morning from a bright chilly Co Armagh
I’m still taking it easy so got a crochet throw on the go for Daughter in Law , my hands will do a bit at a time
Karmalady I’m afraid I use acrylic yarn , I find it best to use vinegar in the final rinse to stop the build up of static , no chip shop smell left
Marydoll you do sound back to yourself ,, I’ve done the bag strap dance struggling to get out of the car !
Moving house isn’t for the faint hearted , I moved 5 years ago and I’m only emptying the old house now ( well got a keen recycler on the job ! )

Good Morning from an overcast, chilly N.,Cambs.,

cornergran, hope you & your family have a lovely day with MrC on his special birthday.

Warm wishes for you all, especially those with worries & health problems.

rjack Hello. Are you new on here? You're just down the coast a bit from me, so we share the same weather 😁

Good morning from a freezing cold Angus coast where it's 4° and feels more like -4°. Was just hearing about my great-niece in LA - a weather warning for torrential rain and an order not to go out 'unless fleeing from a flash flood'! We do have it easy here.
Happy 80th to Mr C - enjoy your family time. When I had mine there were too many of us for one house so we rented three holiday lodges, all next door to each other, and I did so love having all my chicks and chicklets around me.
Gingster I'm so sorry your DD is having such a dreadful time - it's awful that she can't rely on help from the cancer nurses, if only for reassurance and a shoulder to cry on.
Grandmattie just keep your mind fixed on when you're settled in Bristol and the move is behind you. That day will come - and it will be Spring and summer then as well. Lovely thought.
I had a good catch up with my friend over lunch in Perth. We always find so much to talk about even though she's just a wee spring chicken of 59!
Now, I can hear Lovely Gardener wielding one of his many toys power tools in the front garden so must pop out and give him his money. I'll also hang the washing out at the same time and then come in and batten down the hatches again. A day at home today is just what the doctor ordered!
Enjoy your day everyone, the best way you can x

Good morning from a rather dull cold day here in Carnoustie. Happy 80th birthday Mr. Corner have a grand day. Have my family here for long weekend from Holland. Grandsons of 20 and 21years are still in bed. But I suppose they are on holiday.
Not sure what they are up to today, but when they are home one of the boys always likes a chippie tea. So no cooking tonight. Grandmattie moving house is always stressful so take care. All the best to you Mick.x

Good morning everyone. It’s cloudy with a chill wind in my corner of Lancashire. Mr. B and I are off out to lunch with family. Happy Saturday 🦩🦩

I had missed Gingster's post. So sorry that DD isn't getting the support she needs.
Are there Macmillan nurses? Or what about a Maggie's centre?
I found the latter a huge comfort if only for me, when DH was in the midst of cancer treatment. You don't need to explain anything and there's always a cup of tea and a smiling face

Good morning Mick and all from Sunnyside northwest coast.
Another day for drying washing outside
, then a day here catching up on various things, out tomorrow.
Hope all works out well Mick, you too grandMattie, I should start clearing clutter here even though I’m not moving, happy birthday Mr. C and thoughts to “Gingster*

Stilllearning, Helensburgh is on my list of places to visit, on what DH calls his childminding days. (The days he takes me out),

I spent many happy, residential school trips at Castle Toward, just outside Dunoon.
I loved that place.
We used to get the bus into Dunoon, while the children were with the instructors or cycled ( me on a child's bike) to the pub in Inellan ( no alcohol was consumed!》 for lunch.

Good morning from a cold and damp NE, heating is struggling to warm the house.
Lunch out was good yesterday but traffic was bad, roadworks and a couple of accidents caused hold ups.
Got in touch with friend to see how her DH was feeling with covid and she said she was now feeling really unwell. After three years of avoiding infection and all vaccinations up to date she is not happy.
I spent the evening preparing food for today, DS and GD2 will visit, GD1 is doing uni open days and will not return until tomorrow.
Happy Birthday to Mr C
Have a good day all.

Good morning from West York's.Happy birthday Mr corner 🎂. Gingster My breast cancer nurses didn't work at weekend I had to call manager on call at the hospital . We are going to sons today haven't been there since start of lockdown ,they have been renovating the house so it was easier for them to come to ours .Their German shepherd dog is 2 now and doesn't know us so no doubt she will get excited hope she doesn't jump up 🤔

Good morning from a brighter W Kent. I have to go into town this morning as DD and DGD unexpectedly had dinner with us last night and have eaten into the weeks supplies. Lovely to see them and catch up. I intend to make a cake this afternoon and then curry for dinner.
Happy Birthday Mr Corner
Glad you had a successful if interesting shop Marydoll
gM hope a bit more gets sorted out today
GinsterI hope your daughter can get the help she needs.
Best wishes to all

Good morning all from bright and sunny South Lanarkshire. There’s a dusting of frost on the car roofs.

You’ve such a lot on your plate gM but cope with it all admirably.

Wishing Mr Corner a very happy birthday.

I hope your DD soon feels better Gingster and your little GS too Jax.

Love the photo of the girl in her bright red hat stilllearning, enjoy your day in Helensburgh, gorgeous day for it.

No plans today, I think DH will be watching rugby for a fair part of it. I must tidy away clothes and shoes and possibly fill a bag to donate.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Wishing Mrcorner a very happy 80th birthday with his family around him 🎂🎉

The things your Lil Miss comes out with bring a smile to my face Urm. Matt has also been spot on this week 🤣

Good to hear there was a normal day 🤣in the life of Marydoll at long last.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a cloudy, cool South Yorkshire. Glad you’ve managed to arrange a Yorkshire get away Mick. DD came over yesterday, we had lunch and then we went out to buy me some shoes. After much faffing about with things with zips I couldn’t manage and things with straps I didn’t like, I bought a pair of smart black leather slip ons which were perfect. I will wear them when DS and DiL come down to take me out to lunch tomorrow. I also bought a new pair of carpet slippers. We had a quick walk round the rest of the shops, lingered in the Pro Cook shop where I saw a nice small wok but didn’t feel inclined to spend £43 pounds on it, and came home!
Today I will make a cake for tomorrow and spend the rest of the day doing not a lot. Maybe a short walk.
Many Happy Returns to Mr Corner on his milestone birthday🎁🎂🍾! Have lots of fun!
Hoping all have a good start to the weekend.

Oh Marydoll, you really aren’t safe to let out of the house! Hope you have recovered now but thank you for sharing. Hope the Corner family have a lovely day and that Gingster’s daughter gets the support she so badly needs.

I have young relatives coming for lunch en route for Gatwick from South Wales and then DS, DDiL, DGS and the dog so more cooking than I have done in a while so had better make a start.

Thanks to you too stillearning. It must be down to staff shortages . Perhaps we’ll try the MacMillan nurses. 🤞

Thankyou for your kind messages Brook, Susan, Marydoll and Urms re my DD. She’s going back to bed now and she’ll message me later. 🙏

Morning from Dunoon where it is cold but beautiful. I’ll try and attach some photos from yesterday. I especially love the one of the statue of the little girl, so West of Scotland!

Sorry to hear your daughter isn’t well today Gingster, it’s awful that her cancer nurses aren’t supporting her, why is that? Are they very short staffed, even so it’s not okay.

grandMattie this is definitely a hard time, I wish you well.

Happy Birthday to your husband Cornergran, I hope you have a lovely family day for him.

We’re off for a run to Helensburgh this morning, I believe the route from here is beautiful so I’m looking forward to it. Probably a nice lunch too, I feel so lucky.

Wishing everyone a nice weekend.

Sunny and bright in south Cornwall. Good morning and hugs to those struggling. Spent a lovely afternoon in Wetherspoons with my daughter-in-law yesterday, eating some very delicious food and chatting to various people as they passed our table. It attracts everyone from families and groups of grannies to Uni art students in their lovely clothes. A real boost. My (arty) daughter-in-law was wearing a long cotton dress and laughed and said, 'I think I look like a wench.' She didn't, she looked beautiful.

Good morning everyone from a grey Northampton, was going to say sunny, but it has.just clouded over. Showers forecast but should be clear by the time I get to rugby this afternoon. Fingers crossed for a third win in a row!

Lazy morning reading the papers, and must wrap DS's birthday present up ready for tonight. It is his birthday tomorrow, and we are all going out tonight for a meal to celebrate. Think he has picked an Indian restaurant, which will please me; haven't been to one since before DH died, and that's 5 years ago on Monday.......

Take care everyone in all your doings today, and may your weekend go well.
