Good Morning Sunday 19th March 2023

Good morning all. Got woke up by son number three calling for his golf clubs. I did forget he was playing golf today near us. Lovely though we had tea and toast together and a quick chat. He will return for lunch later. Two other sons called yesterday and we all got together for chat and tea. Some light gardening and easy day. Happy Mother’s Day to all.

Gingster I’m sorry to hear your daughter is so unwell.I hope she will get the treatment and support she needs and soon be back home with her little family.Thinking of you all💐

Good morning all from a glorious Spring morning on the Angus coast. What a joy to sit eating breakfast in the sunshine - even on the north-facing side of the house!
Gone are my days of being a Mum again Maw, and helping out, although I used to be babysitter -in-chief for DD. But when DD said they were coming over and would be bringing the food I immediately set to and made two family favourites to go with it! You can't keep a good Mum down 😁
Will be thinking of you tomorrow Mick and trusting all goes well.
Grandmattie I can't remember if you have a moving date yet? I do hope it's soon and you can relax a bit again. You have been such a miracle worker. There are so many 'last times' aren't there - it's never easy
BlueSapphire your photos yesterday of your Safari brought back so many happy memories of ours in Kenya. The elephants were my particular favourites and I can bore for Britain with my stories of them! Have a wonderful time.
Happy arrival in your happy place Urms and keep enjoying your Spanish odyssey Brook.
For the stay-at-homes like myself have a happy Mother's Day full of wonderful memories of when the children were small and joy and wonder at the amazing people they have grown up to be. May those thoughts ease the pain and discomfort, whether in mind or body, so many are experiencing just now x

Good morning from a bright and sunny Essex by the sea.
Gingster I'm sorry to hear about your DD. Love to her and you .
I'm still not 100% so a quiet day indoors.
Good luck for tomorrow Mick.
Happy Mother's Day xx

Here’s Matt.

Back in a few minutes.

Sorry to hear your DD is in hospital Gingster, hoping things improve soon, such difficult times for you all, sending much ❤️❤️

Good morning this Mothering Sunday from a bright Suffolk. We hope for sun and warmth later as we are meeting DS and his tribe( his word) at the coast about 5 miles from us later this morning for lunch. Our DDs live at least 4 hours away at different sides of the country so we won’t see them today. No doubt their DC will be serving them breakfast in bed.

I hope that today brings some joy to all mothers wherever they are and whatever their circumstances.

Thinking of Mick and hoping all goes well tomorrow.

Morning Mick..hope that your OP goes well...💐💐 for grandMattie and gingster...

Just read your postGingster which crossed with mine. So sorry to hear about your DD and hope that she gets help with her distressing symptoms soon. Thinking of you and your family today.

Good morning, another glorious sunny morning from s somerset

I am finished with chores for the day, letting my small expresso go down and will then get ready for a cycle ride. It is no mental effort to go out when the sun calls me

I saw a pale green bloom on passing trees yesterday, spring is very nearly here, the best time of time of year, new growth and a promise of better to come

Gingster, thinking of you and your family

Good morning from Durham. I’ll get DD2’s laundry dry today and drop it off on my way to lunch with DD1 and family.
Very sorry to hear Gingster’s DD is in hospital - probably best to be assessed properly - hope it’s a short stay and home soon.
Good luck Mick for tomorrow.
Best wishes to all. X

Good morning from a cloudy and grey Black Country.

Had a visit yesterday from DS, DIL and DGD (13), Eldest DGD is on holiday with her boyfriend!

Today we are going to DD's with Mum and my brother and his wife will be there. Sadly, their DD, my Niece cannot join us due to the train strike. She lives in London.

This morning will be spent packing as we are off to Lanzarote Monday afternoon.

So sorry to hear about your DD Gingster hoping she will be home soon

Everything crossed for your DD Gingster. She’s in good hands.

Good morning from a sunny NE.
I have the day to myself so whatever pleases me I will do.
Family came yesterday and brought a beautiful bouquet of yellow roses and left gifts for me to open today. The gifts are Belgian chocolates and a very long thin hot water bottle which is brilliant for my aching joints.
I had saved the piano so that I could watch it with GD, we loved it, so very moving.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning Mick and all from grey Carlisle where showers are forecast.
I hope the day doesn't feel too long with your non-eating regime Mick. Best wishes for tomorrow.

I went for a brief trip to Sainsbury's yesterday. They had a large floral display of pricey flowers on sale which I knew were cheaper last week. I gave up on Mothers Day when it got so commercialised, I thought of mine as being special every day. And my Dad too.
Had long phone chats with my sister and DS1 and spent the rest of the time on some very tedious admin and then reading the papers.
Today I'm thinking of going out for a stroll before any showers appear and then relaxing with whatever takes my fancy. I'd like to be in the garden but I don't think that will happen.

I'm really sorry to hear about your DD Gingster, I hope she'll soon be on the mend and something positive can be done for her.

Have a good day everyone.

Thankyou all for your kind messages ❤️

Good morning everyone from a gloriously sunny Málaga. Just looked at the BBC weather and these are our temperatures all the way till we come home with big fat sunshine’s every day. Perfect.

I’ve just received MD phone calls from our two daughters and had nice catch up chat. I also set a load in the washing machine from when we were last out in January. The decorator freshened up the doors, walls and balcony rails in white emulsion and gloss so we will be pottering today, putting books back on shelves etc. Nothing too arduous.

Himself has the Formula 1 racing to watch at tea time and Man. Utd play. A neighbour is out from Birmingham. Her partner doesn’t arrive for a few days yet so I’ll knock on later and see does she fancy a crisp G&T, sitting in the late sunshine outside Juan’s downstairs so that I can avoid the sports fest up here. We then plan to eat at a new bistro place that has opened over the road and hope we like it as it’ll be so handy.
😁

Hope all goes well tomorrow Mick with your op it’s been a long time in the planning and preparation. GrandMattie as ever, I’m in admiration at your energy and fortitude. And Gingster you must be so anxious today I hope there’s good news to share here about your daughter very soon. x

Good morning all from a bright sunny start to the day here in Fife it ps beginning to look a lot like Easter I hear the birds chirping away from outside it’s going to be a good day I’m off to church to meet up with lots of friends. I had a marvellous early Mother’s Day yesterday when my daughter and her family visited with lots of goodies I’m really so blessed
Have a happy Mother’s Day

Good morning all from a sunny North Leicestershire.

DD2 and co are here for the weekend, DD3 and co called in yesterday and DS2 will pop in this afternoon. My mother's Day weekend is going well so far!!

I hope you DD gets some treatment sorted soon, Gingster.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 6° and dry but cloudy. Gingster I'm really sorry to hear about your daughter.
I'm feeling unwell again so will probably have to make a doctor's appointment. Oh joy. I need to go to Aldi for food as I don't have much in. Then I'll go back to my friend's house for a while. Dd said she would call in later with my mother's Day gift so I look forward to seeing them later. Have a good day all

gingster. My love to you all .

Good morning everyone.
💐 and thoughts for Gingster and her DD.
Hope all goes well tomorrow Mick.
DDs 1&2 are away at the moment so won’t see them today but cards were left and flowers arrived yesterday.
I shall be having lunch with DD3 and her boys. DH is taking his Mum out for lunch.
A lazy morning before all that.wishing you all a day with some smiles along the way.
