Good Morning Tuesday 18th April 2023

Oh dear Gingster I will keep my fingers crossed your DD’s scan goes ahead today 🤞

Nothing planned today apart from a supermarket trip and Wonderful Cleaner working her magic. Always love the feeling of full fridge and clean house. WI this evening, so a good day all round.

Glad yesterday went well, Mick; encouraging news about Babydoll; hopeful news from grandMattie; all in all a good set of posts. Hope all goes well for Gingster’s DD and for all the plans for today.

Good morning everyone from a bright Northampton, just looked at the forecast and it is set to be dry and mild, so will chance some washing.

A busy day yesterday, yoga then home to start tidying and cleaning before my coffee morning tomorrow. Nothing like expecting visitors to trigger a good clean!
Then out in the afternoon for my 6th Covid jab, and now have a slightly sore arm. Then a nice walk to M&S Food and Next (to pick up an order) and get cake and flowers for tomorrow.

Just charging the vacuum cleaner ready to finish off the clean and tidy. This afternoon a.health walk beckons. Pizza for dinner tonight.

Hope.your daughter gets her scan today Gingster and that all goes well.

Good morning all from a sunny Suffolk. I managed the long trip up north to visit my sister in hospital and,thankfully,the 3 trains each way worked well. I left home soon after 8am and got back at nearly 10.45pm feeling shattered. I thought I might sleep later than my usual waking time of around 7.30am but didn’t but this first cuppa tastes wonderful.

I hope Gingster your DD’s scan goes ahead as planned today and the results are what you are all hoping for.

I’m out for lunch with a group of friends today and then,hopefully,a couple of hours in the summerhouse finishing the book I started on my journey yesterday.

Hope there is a little sunshine in your day for all.

Morning from currently overcast S Yorks, but sun is predicted soon

Know what you feel, Oopsadaisy re move - exciting or scary - swing between the two in considering it.

glad everything went well, Mick.

difficult being “in between” GMattie
I always love seeing what you all are up to!

Yesterday was incredibly busy - since the power wash men were here for 3 hours, I cleared a lot of tricky admin and more in the evening. so today exhausted…might be the gym or might be pottering…

and definitely catch a bit of sun if it arrives.

The MRI results on my arm lump still not come back but either way its likely to be removal as its over 6 cms across - timescale likely to be long unless its dodgy. (NHS guidelines are lumps with blood vessels in over 5 cms removed but waiting depends what’s in them)

Best for poorlies and procedures and tests, days out, and special treats.

Good morning from a bright and sunny Essex by the sea.
DH will drop me off in town this morning as I have a few bits to get in preparation for my big birthday in June (I like to be prepared). I'll get the bus home later.
Yesterday we bought material for me to make some curtains for the boat. DH cut them out for me, now to get the sewing machine out and do my best.
I haven't read all the posts so will do that now.
Happy Tuesday everyone xxx

Beautiful sunny morning here in Norfolk. Off to a Car Boot Sale on the coast and pop into a supermarket. Out of food again! When I get back I need to go over and put a Welcome Pack and card in the cottage we let for holidays as someone is coming in tomorrow.

Good morning from North Yorkshire. Another dry day.
Busy yesterday with the village walk then lots of gardening. I’m feeling it today!
Off to RHS Harlow Carr to meet a friend this morning then back to town to catch up with someone else later.
Lots of cheerful posts today! Ginster I hope the scan goes ahead today.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire. Wyllow has given you our weather. Sun is trying hard at the moment. Dentist can’t find any reason for my troublesome tooth and recommended a sensitive toothpaste then started muttering about dying nerves and root canals at which point I beat a hasty retreat! Came home and got a whole lot of seedlings potted up.
A much needed haircut for me today after some much needed floor washing.
Glad the decorator got off to such a good start, Corner👍🏻.
Have a good day, folks.

Good morning all. My, what a busy thread this is this morning! I want to read it all now, but realise that if I do I won't have time to post.
So, it's a grey start here on the Angus coast - the dreaded haar! But according to my BBC weather app it will start to burn off soon and it will be sunny from midday - and for the rest of the week! (I just hope the haar has read the forecast too and knows what to do 😉)
Glad all went well yesterday Mick, and that you'll soon be in your flat grandmattie. Good luck with the buses. And have you looked for tai chi classes in your new home area? If there aren't any, you'd be just the person to start one up 😉
Karma your planned day sounds so lovely - I'm right there with you in spirit!
My own day is much more prosaic - tai chi class followed by shopping. The class of course I love, but how can one person generate so much shopping!! I must also pop down the garden and feed the fish - they were practically jumping out of the water for their food yesterday, which is a joy to watch. I really don't know why they fascinate me so much, but on a sunny day I can sit there gazing into the pond for hours on end - very calming.
Right, girding my loins and off I go. Have a lovely day everyone in whatever way you can, and enjoy the spring 🌼🌱 x

Good morning from a bright but windy “up channel” South Downs.

Just back from our morning walk and breakfast. Scrambled egg and bacon made by DH.

I think that for body weight the wren has the loudest song of all the birds. All the birds were in full song this morning with drums provided by the woodpecker. Couldn’t hear myself think🙂.

Quick skim of posts and everyone seems ok which is good. All life is here🙂.

Well, for me it is a day of more gardening - busy time of year. Plus the usual stuff like ironing etc.

Chilli for dinner.

Enjoy your day one and all.

Good morning Mick and everyone from sunny Carlisle.
I should be able to get this morning's planned wash outside for once. There's a bit of housework to get through also then hopefully a bit of gentle gardening. I was out yesterday planting, part of it involved hacking into the clay pit in one corner, which is hard going.
I'm sitting in my office gazing at the filing and general tidying up that also needs to be done. Boring! but I may tackle that later as well.
Best wishes for a good day to all and especially to Gingster's DD for a good result.

A late good morning from overcast South Lanarkshire.

I will read the thread later so I hope everyone is ok.

I’ve a dental hygienist appointment so have to rush off.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good Morning from a bright and breezy Co Armagh, I haven’t been out yet
Going to trundle down to the local surgery for my Booster now
I hope everyone here has a lovely day xxx

Good morning from bright Llandudno, it will probably be our best day so are going to Bodnant Gardens, such a beautiful place to go!
GrandMattie I got a new battery for
My iPad. I hadn’t realised it was not an Apple battery, it’s not much better than it was before and it doesn’t quite fit. It means I can’t resell it through an Apple dealer. I had intended to trade it in, but now can’t do that. I may sell it privately, but I feel I’ve been “done”
Glad you feel better Mick
You sound like you are in danger of doing too much Marydoll please take care.
Haven’t read a lot of posts. Will try to catch up!
Have the best day possible folks

It really does look like Chicken Pox (or Chicken Pops as it’s known in our family)

I have The Imp here and DH is at DD’s doing some odd jobs whilst the 8yr old lays on the sofa, they will be back here for lunch.

DD has escaped to work…

I seem to have lost a day. So much admin yesterday I had no time to read this thread.
Dgd, two dogs and a basketful of damp laundry delivered by dsinl this morning. Walked dgd to school and she is pleased to be staying here overnight, the first time in a while. Not complaining though as she comes three mornings a week before and after school( dogs included) 😀.
Feeling quite proud of myself. I’m back in my size 14 trousers after three years. I feel as if I’ve a whole new wardrobe as nothing has been worn for so long.
🤞 for gingsters dd’s scan. As someone has said, a lovely cheerful lot of posts today. Hope everyone has a happy day.
The sun is now shining brightly here in Co Durham. Makes one feel so much better.

Good morning everyone (only just) very poor WiFi connection on holiday. Best wishes to all of you especially especially all with health problems and worries.
