Hope Gingster’s DD is making progress.
Best wishes to all. X

Good morning all from a showery North Leicestershire.

Good luck today, Mick. Do let us know how you getvon.

A quick trip in to town for me before my volunteering stint this afternoon.

We had a lovely weekend with DD2 and family and also had visits from DD3 and DS 2.

Morning all from an overcast S Hants.
Hope today goes smoothly Mick and you’re soon home.
Pretty hands gMattie, a lovely gentle interlude for you.
We had a delicious lunch out with friends yesterday and I saw both of my children, also had my first yoga class.
I’m on school run this week, hence the early hour, volunteering day today and quiz tonight.
Enjoy your day 🦩🦩

Good morning from Shropshire.

All the best for today Mick.Hope all goes well today and wishing you a speedy recovery.

We are going over to Cheshire to see my mum today.We will stop at M and S on the way to get lunch then this afternoon she wants to go shopping.

Thinking of Grandmabatty and all unwell and those with worries and struggles 💐

Have the best day you can everyone 🦩

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 6° and damp. Heavy grey skies above. Mick best wishes for today. Baubles I'm sorry to hear that you are still in pain and the prescription is making you feel sick. Ash I hope your car is easily mended.
Yesterday was a bit of a non event for me as I was very sick again and felt unwell for a while. I wasn't at my friend's. Dd called in the afternoon with the boys and some gifts which were appreciated.
Today I'm looking after the boys. It was my decision as dd needs the childcare and I need a bit of normal life. My friend has others with her so she's never alone. Have a good day all

Wishing you all the best Mick, will be thinking of you.

Good morning everyone from another warm and sunny day in South Africa. We are now in the Great Karoo region, and in one of the historic towns.
On our last (6am!) game drive yesterday we managed to see the lions at last. Also a baby giraffe.
Am going to have a wander around the town this morning, and then this afternoon we have a tour to the Valley of Desolation - which doesn't sound a bundle of laughs, does it?
Best wishes to all for a good Monday, especially Mick.

Good morning from North Yorkshire, we are early birds this morning. I’ve got an early appointment for blood tests and need to wash hair etc first. Good Luck Mick hope all goes smoothly. GM, your hands remind me of that book about an Indian henna artist, can’t remember the title but very enjoyable story. Looks like rain most of the day today which means no gardening which is a shame. Will have to re-plan the day, hope everyone’s plans work out.

wishing Mick the best possible outcome today and a comfortable stay

good morning, a bland ok day weatherwise in s somerset

I had a brilliant clearing-out day yesterday, garden based. It was so lovely and sunny. I did not go cycling as my hands felt too cold outside of my enclosed back garden, it is no fun when my hands are freezing in my gloves. Weight lifting in my garden took over and the result was a much clearer space

spring equinox today and buds are opening

Good morning from a damp Torbay.

I hope all goes to plan with your surgery, Mick and you recover well. All the best.

It is sad for you not to have been given a posy, grandMattie. Your friend is very skilled with henna. Good luck at the dentist.

I had a quiet day yesterday apart from church in the morning and a FaceTime call from DS later with DGS3, aged 6, conversing with me from his bath. He has recently joined an acting class and was keen to tell me about it.

Today I hope my garage mechanic will have time to diagnose the problem with my car even if he can’t fix it immediately.

Have a good week, everyone! 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning all from dark and damp South Lanarkshire.

My very best wishes for today Mick.

Work today. The stronger painkillers are helping but making me nauseous. Rock and a hard place comes to mind.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning everyone especially Mick, thinking of you today hope you’ve remembered to pack the essentials such as your charger for your mobile, a change of clothes etc etc spring is coming I hear the birds singing.

Yesterdays church service was brilliantly set out where the congregation sat around the communion table for the first time ever and I could see everyone face to face . because sitting at the front of the church in a wheelchair doesn’t cut it for me I can see no one, thank you to the previous minister who got rid of the pews and put in those comfy chairs which I well remember prior to stroke

I also had a brilliant Mother’s Day with a visit from my beautiful daughter and 2 lively grandsons who just love hugging their granny [smile

Have a good day my dear friends

All the best today Mick and a speedy recovery ☘️

Good morning. Just popping in to wish you all the best for your operation today Mick after all the unfortunate delays.
Hopefully it won’t be too long until you are fully recovered and back into the swing of your normal routines. Take care.

An overcast sky this morning. I’ve done my usual, awake at 3am, wait for after 4am to get myself a drink, go back to bed and read.
It was disappointing at the early church service, not to be offered a posy. It is not always from choice that people attend the 8am service, when DH was alive, I went because I could go to church aa it is a short service.
My friend’s husband came soon after to dismantle the beds and move a single bed into my room. I managed to do all the laundry as well and hang it outside to dry…
In the afternoon, DGS and his lovely mum came round for a visit. Bless him, he’s 19 today, a great hulk of a lad; a far cry from the cuddly little boy who insisted on sleeping with me “until he was 16”. I’m giving him my car as a late birthday present.
Then, a nice surprise. My lovely Indian friend, Bhavna, came to mendhi my hands. We sat chatting for several hours waiting for it to dry. I now have a peacock on my right hand and a flower and creepers on my left!
Dentist this morning and a load of sorting out, phone calls…
May today bring nothing but gentleness and comfort to you all. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩❤️🦩

All the best Mick.

Good morning, Mick. All the best for your operation today.
