Here we are again
Happy as we can possibly be
ALL GOOD Friends
And jolly good company.
Welcome. 
Serious hair envy here granmarie. That looks lovely. Mine is fine and shedding regularly , I’m amazed the very young and very kind hairdresser can find enough to cut. That’s a heck of a long wait for physio, hope you’ll manage and it won’t be too painful in the interim.
Another here who can’t keep up grannygravy, the Kitchen is a busy place these days. There are days shoppimg works and days it doesn’t, next time will be different.
Please do rest the knee soop, I agree, knees can be seriously ouchie with injections. Best give it a chance to do its stuff. 🤞 it works.
Pleased you slept blossoming, my parents were always insistent we healed during sleep. No idea if they were right . Hope you mend soon neine. Being in pain isn’t fun.
Decent day here, the sun shone, hooray. A big thank you to whoever sent it. We wandered further along the coast, enjoyed lunch and a windy walk along an almost empty and blessedly flat prom.
The montana has decided it’s Spring and has begun to open. If I can work the technology I’ll attach a photo.
Take care everyone. Wishing you all a restful evening .
Your hair looks lovely Grannmarie. I’m not doing too bad, was told to rest so I’m doing my best to obey! It doesn’t come naturally. I need to limit my screen time too. I have done some laundry and emptied the bathroom bins and other waste paper bins ready for the black bin collection tomorrow. Mr.B has been to Lidl for some shopping and has given me an enormous bar of their praline filled chocolate and it is delicious. I usually prefer plain chocolate and I generally find pralines too sickly sweet but this is just right. I’ll never eat it all so if anyone would like to share I’ll just leave it here.
Result...my hair is naturally wavy and wiry, think Crystal Tipps... so I love having it straight and smooth.
Lovely to have you with us, GrannyGravy.
Llfl I lurve the OTT decor.
Neine and Blossoming, lots of healing vibes.
Have just this minute returned from the GP's surgery. Had steroid injection into the knee bone. Eye-wateringly ouchie. Can only have three steroid injections per annum. Had one recently in my hand. Shoulder must wait in case I need another in the knee. What a palarva! Guess what? I must rest for the next two days. Ha! The steroid needs to work on the knee joint before being dispersed around the body. Anaesthetic will wear off around four o'clock. Painkillers at the ready.
Love to you all. I shall return a little later.
I’m sleeping in the newly decorated, over the top spare room!
I’m rushing in to join in the group hug! {{{{ 👩👩🦳🧑🦳👱♀️👵}}}}
Agreed, Grandmabatty, it is a special thing to be able to be a close part of your GC’s lives. We’ve never had the opportunity to do this before and it’s lovely. My GD told me today that I was the best grandma, best at everything, apparently! Money can’t buy that sort of moment, can it? ❤️
I had no idea LOTV is poisonous! I seem to have survived the night so hopefully I’ll be ok. 
Blossoming you’ve been very brave, that sounds an awful treatment to have. I hope you begin to feel better soon.
NaughtyNeine, that’s one of those ‘You’re not going to believe this…’ events. I hope the sore face improves soon. Have you arnica tablets for the swelling? I thought it was an old wives tale but after I was knocked down by a cyclist I tried both tablets and cream and it really helped.
I hope your GP can find out what’s happening with those phone appointments, Soop and that the injections help.
It’s been busy here and the door knocker never stopped all day. The patio furniture arrived although it’s still sitting outside in the boxes as we didn’t have time to unpack it. Hopefully tomorrow although I’m out all day so maybe Friday!
This morning we had our weekly personal trainer session. We’ve been using him since about Feb and at first it didn’t seem to be doing much to improve our fitness. However, I realised the other day that I got out of dh’s low-slung sports car without using my hands so I think I am starting to see the benefits now. The aim is to improve our general fitness and strength - I’m not planning on entering any Iron Man competitions or anything! 😂
This afternoon was our weekly dance run with our GD. It’s so nice to do things in the sunshine and not have to lug coats around everywhere. And GD wasn’t covered in mud today like she often is, haha. She took advantage of the sun to have her snack in the garden and was most complimentary about my new washing line - it’s so funny how such small things can delight them.
Wishing you all some sunshine tomorrow. Xxx
Am I too late for the group hug? Hope not.
Well done blossoming, hope it’s not too painful now. Same for you for those injections tomorrow soop, although they can ease pain they can be pretty uncomfortable in the event. Will you mention the mystery of the missing phone calls to your GP? Sometimes they can and will chase.
No sunshine here today. Grey and dismal. I so dislike this overcast weather, after a while it feels as if the sky is sitting on my head and yes, I do know that isn’t possible .
An active sort of a day here. Curtains refreshed and hung, cushion covers changed, a steam train trip booked with the help of a very kind young woman in their office, dust removed, groceries received and absorbed by the cupboards, some financial admin completed before finally an email to a buddy. We even had time to go out for an excellent mid week roast lunch which cheered me enormously.
Wind down time now. Sleep has been elusive recently, best try to relax and properly wind down.
Rest well tonight everyone.
Bless you lovely lot for allowing me to vent.
I have a GP appointment tomorrow for cortisone injections in my hand and knee. No phone call from the two hospital on-line appointments.
It is a beautiful day with plenty of sunshine. I haven't be too energetic. We did motor a neighbour into town so that he could collect his van after an MOT. I have dusted and rearranged some bookshelves. Otherwise...
Please take good care of yourselves. Especially those of you with health issues.
A group hug might do us all a lot of good.
It’s four days since I visited the Kitchen! 😱 I must have been busy doing nothing for days.
Brodie castle, Brook. The last time we went in daffodil season it was late afternoon and the head gardener spent ages talking to us about the daffodils. It was so interesting.
I’m sure your forever home is out there, Yia. Have you thought of asking an estate agent to mail-shot likely properties in the area you’re interested in?
LLFL sympathy re the migraine. I had one yesterday. I’ve had them since I was 11. I’m still waiting to grow out of them, like the doctor said I would! 😂
Great bargains, Neine! That always makes a good day, doesn’t it?
That’s very disappointing, Soop. I hope the appointments are rearranged asap. Doctors are not on strike in Scotland so there must be another reason for the delays. It’s such a small thing to them, but such a big thing to us, the patient.
Grandmabatty do you look after your GC every day? I honestly don’t think I could do that! 
Each of mine once a week is enough for me!
Our patio has been brushed and cleaned and is ready for the furniture that is being delivered tomorrow. We haven’t had an easily accessible garden for many years and I am so thrilled by this! Sunshine has also been ordered and seemingly will be here all day. ☀️ I am now also able to line dry my laundry and I am taking a ridiculous amount of pleasure in pegging it out, then sniffing that lovely fresh smell when I bring it back in. I’m easily pleased, you know!
I had a lovely gift in the post this morning. A friend down south sent me a package containing a clump of lily of the valley plants from her garden. I have put them into a large pot and I hope they flourish as I do love them.
I also received a postcard from my 8yo GS who has been holidaying in the French Alps. So sweet to see his writing! I must send him a card in return - even modern children still seem to like getting something in the post.
Tomorrow I am taking GD to her dancing class after school then she’s coming back to us for her dinner, then home. Her daddy is a farmer and this time of year he’s extremely busy so it helps my dd if we can do little things like that, so she just has the baby to deal with at tea time.
Take care everyone! TOYA. XX
Good evening to you all in this lovely, relaxing place. I’ll join your troublesome tum club Blossoming and soop.
I finally went to the doctor yesterday as eating two hot cross buns on Good Friday really upset mine. I was sent straight to our local emergency centre where, after a couple of hours wait, I was put on a drip for another couple of hours.
We are very lucky to have this facility so close to us but I wish I hadn’t had to use it!
I’ve got four pages of medications to take but as most medications seem to disagree with me, I’m waiting till tomorrow to start them slowly.
Blossoming I was really worried about my recent eye procedure and it turned out totally pain free. I’ll be thinking of you tomorrow.
soop you must be so worried about your poor sister, I hope she can have her operation done tomorrow.
