Good Morning Everyone,
The dawn is just about to break with a clear sky over brackley this morning.
Today , before operation tomorrow sees drinking liquid although I can have a tea without milk and a couple slices of toast , the remainder of the day will be water and vegetable juice.
I will also sort out a rucksack for essentials I need when in hospital .
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning all from a sunny south Hants and a Happy Mothers Day to all 🌻🌻
Mick good luck for tomorrow - I hope all goes well for you.
grandMattie sending you bear hugs and love - your comment about the marital bed made me cry. Bless your heart dear lady 💐💐
Gingster I hope your daughter improves soon. A worrying time for you all.
Urms Enjoy your happy place.

Today is our Ruby wedding anniversary and we treated ourself to an arbor seat which DH has put up. We plan to go to a garden centre to buy a Ruby Anniversary Rose. I’m cooking a roast beef dinner and we’ll fit in a visit to see MiL and FiL
Had some beautiful cards - DH wrote a ‘rhyming’ poem in my card - cue much hilarity! 😂😂.
Have the best day you can. Thinking of those feeling sad and those struggling 🦩🦩🦩
A hug 🤗 and 💐💐 for you all x

SunshineSally, Happy anniversary!

Good morning Mick, Annie and all.
Was so sorry to hear about your daughter Ginster, I often think about her when I have to collect my Chemo tablets. I hope the hospital manage to make her feel much better soon.
Lovely words Ashcombe, thank you.
Here's to all who are feeling 'meh' enjoy the sunshine, if there is any where you are.
We are off to DD shortly, being picked up by our lovely SIL. We shall see our GD and GGS, so a happy day ahead. I shall end up tired, but feel blessed that we can be together.
Have a good day one and all.

Gingster, flowers my love and prayers to you, your daughter and the whole family.
FYI I do have a moving out date, 14 April but I have yet to get a moving in date which makes me very fidgety indeed. I would stay with DD for a week or so, but need something else after that.

Huge congratulations on your Ruby wedding anniversary SunshineSally 🌹

Good morning all from sunny Harrogate
Best wishes for tomorrow Mick.
And you Gingster such a difficult time, hope your DD is back with her family soon.
Ash I think you spoke for all of us, thank you. You, too, are going through a difficult time GrandMattie
Yesterday I enjoyed my painting class, using water based oil paints, which I have never used before! Today, church, then off to DD1s for Mother’s Day celebrations with DD2, GC, and DDs MIL
Have the best day possible folks

Happy ruby wedding anniversary SunshineSally! I had to look it up as we’ve never been ‘big’ on these milestones - apparently it’s 40 years. Wonderful.

Reminds me - I saw on a card recently “Isn’t it lovely when you find that special person you’d love to annoy for the rest of your life?”

Joking, of course. 🤣

Happy mother's day. I have my birthday cards and flowers mixed together. A very busy day yesterday so a quiet day today .Ginny hope your daughter is feeling better soon.

Morning all from S Lanarkshire, I have only had time to read a couple of posts so far this morning but just want to wish Mick well for tomorrow, I hope today doesn’t feel too long either.

I’ll also repeat Ash’s wise good wishes to all women who ‘mother’, as my childless daughter does to me and so many others.

Have a as happy day as possible 💕

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Overcast but Spring is definitely in the air.
Thanks for all the flower photos. And Spain brook I bet you don't want to leave.

I don't know if I'll see any of my family today but I have been sent chocs, cards and messages to keep me going!

Good luck Mick for tomorrow. I hope the surgery goes well.
Sorry to hear about your DD Gingster
Sending get well wishes.
Also to grandmabatty flowers

Congratulations to you both SunshineSally wine ♥️

Have as lovely a day as you can everyone.

Good morning everyone from cloudy Lancashire. Hope you don’t feel too bad on that eating regime Mick, I’ve done similar. Hope surgery goes well tomorrow.

Yesterday was hairdresser in the morning, a short walk and general pottering in the afternoon. I received a letter from the Pensions service advising me of the increased rate from April. Nothing from the DWP regarding any PIP increase as yet.

Today will be bacon rolls for brunch and roast chicken for dinner tonight. In between I will listen to the radio, make a start on getting financial paperwork in order and hopefully go for a walk. Mr.B is tackling the garden pond, I can’t help with that as I’m not big or strong enough.

Have a peaceful Sunday all 🌺

Good morning Mick and all from Sunnyside northwest coast.
Might take a spring walk in the sand dunes today after a couple of slothful days (which I think I needed…)
Lovely lit up musical card from DD who takes a flight to LA tomorrow in her new job as Inflight Manager.
Might also practise my songs for Tuesday and have a general tidy round.
Thinking of you and your DD Gingster and you will be glad when your op is over Mick, the lead in can be the worst part.

Good morning from a mild and sunny Co Durham.
Had a wonderful day yesterday celebrating DH 80th birthday which was on Friday. DD2 hosted a large gathering of family from various parts of the country 15 adults and 4 children. Masses of lovely food, copious drinks and much chat. DG met her 1st cousins once removed for the first time ( she’s 8).
Their day was made when the hot tub was filled! They were in and out all afternoon. Then after dark it rained and they all dived in again. Later in the evening Alexa provided music, and for the first time in years I was up rocking and rolling 😀. I am suffering this morning. The birthday boy really enjoyed his day.
Thinking of all with worries and good luck to Mick.

Good morning and happy Mother’s Day from a sunny, dry Glasgow.

A long FaceTime chat with DD2 in Oz and DD1, plus the girls will be down later for a late lunch. F1 to watch later. Having read the book, Where the Crawdads Sing,I decided to watch the film yesterday and wasn’t disappointed.

A long day ahead for you Mick, hope it passes quickly.
My thoughts are with you and your DD Gingster💐
Sorry to hear you are not feeling 100% yet Grandmabatty look after yourself and rest up. Thinking of you and your dear friend. 💐
Happy Ruby Anniversary to you both SunshineSally ❤️🥂

Best wishes to all for a good day.

SunshineSally Sun 19-Mar-23 11:13:53

Thank you for the lovely congratulations 🥰.
Urms that made me laugh! Although I did see a card for Mr Right from Mrs Always Right!! 😂.
Off to Haskins now for a lovely mooch x
