Good Morning Saturday 29th April 2023

Morning all from a cloudy North Leicestershire.

Up early as we have Bertie, Persie and Wolfie from 8am. Will take them to the village fete and hope the promised rain holds off.

Have a fabulous day all.

Good morning from a chilly but sunny Torbay. I expect we shall see plenty of tourists around this weekend which is good for the local businesses.

There does seem to be a lack of timely communication regarding your medical appointments, Mick, which must be frustrating for you. I hope that improves.

Thank you for all the kind comments and good wishes whilst we were away. Our homeward journey by train from Southampton went well and we were back about 1.30 p.m. A frustrating time followed when we walked round to the company who “manage” the building where I live to collect a set of keys, left in their safe keeping so that a fire risk assessment could be made in our absence. After 40 minutes, the keys were discovered. Not the first time I’ve suffered from their inefficiency - couldn’t run a bath!!

I hope you all have a happy Bank Holiday weekend. Much clothes washing awaits here! 🦩🥰😎💐🦩

Good morning from Shropshire.

I have had a disturbed night suffering from acid reflux.Yesterday was hectic and I forgot to take my medication🤦🏼‍♀️

Today is a busy day.We will take the children home this morning as they have two birthday parties today.We are then going over to Cheshire to see my mum and go out for lunch.We have planned to go to Cheshire Oaks on the way home but will see how we feel.

Have the best day you can everyone🦩

Morning all, the 3 & 5 yr olds have been awake since just after 5am, I have the washing machine on and I am already exhausted.

We have swimming lessons, balloons to pick up and take to restaurant for DD’s birthday dinner this evening along with a visit to the local butcher’s.

Have a good day folks 🙋‍♀️🦩

Good morning from an overcast but dry bonny Berwick upon Tweed. Hoping that dry weather continues for the annual "Riding of the Bounds" here today, a tradition which dates back to 1542. Wherever you are, and whatever you're doing, enjoy your day. berwickridersassociation.co.uk/

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. 5°C dry and cloudy so far.
Rain is expected

DMiL was discharged from hospital yesterday in a sorry state. She's very confused and wasn't tested for a UTI.
The transport refused to deliver her to her flat citing H&S so took her back to the ward. DS and DBiL eventually sprung her so at last she's home being cared for by her 2 AC as before.

I'll bake a cake and pick flowers for the community café.

I'm glad you are back on course for your surgery Mick

I'm glad you arrived home safely Ash

Sending good wishes to all of you with special thoughts for Kalu and for oopsa

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 6°. There's a breeze from the east and it feels colder and rain blowing through the wind. Ash that must have been very annoying for you. I own up to being impatient and I would not be happy at waiting that long. Susan I hope you are alright now. Acid reflux is a horrible thing. Grannygravy my sympathy. I'm not surprised you are exhausted! You are a star for doing all that.
Yesterday I felt better and everything stayed where it should. I got most of the housework done and even deep cleaned the bathroom with the aid of cotton buds and bleach.
Today I'll wash the floors and go out to buy a birthday present for a friend I'm meeting tomorrow. The weather doesn't look promising enough to tin the garden but I might manage a tidy up. Have a good day all

Good morning from sunny Colchester. Looks like it's going to be another quiet weekend for me here as DH is fully occupied elsewhere as is the rest of the family. I'll get out in the sun and make the most of it.
Love to all 🦩 x

Morning all from West Oxfordshire. OH is taking all his beekeeping things , including a hive, to the bee association’s field this morning. He will introduce a swarm of bees and hopefully they will move in. Not sure I’ve got the terminology right! I will be looking at beds. I spent a week sleeping in the new spare room and have decided we need at least another mattress. I spent three hours on WI admin yesterday and am absolutely up to date. More laundry today. I think we used every towel and most of the bedding when my family were staying. My sister in law gave me a beautiful picture using Australian flowers so must find a wall for it. Have a good weekend. I’m not sure what the weather is like here. A bit of sunshine would be nice.

Good morning from a very misty hilltop in Wiltshire, hoping that means sunshine later 🤞🏻
Yesterday’s late sunshine was very welcome, some real warmth in it now thankfully.
Nothing in particular planned for this bank holiday, gardening and dog walking and more watercolour painting I think.
I hope you all enjoy the weekend x

Good morning from an overcast s somerset

It was glorious yesterday, I was outside much of the time, even spinning outside with a radio on and keeping the bumble bees company. The ground was so sodden, those blighter snails have eaten most of my sprouted carrots, I quickly put more seeds down

I am dithering about going to a small craft fair, they do tend to be similar, I have been to a few and will not be buying anything anyway. Probably be better to go to the local shops and have a browse in the two charity shops and the deli/wholefood shop. The main roads in sw are rammed with cars, according to local news. I think it is better to stay off them today

A good day to everyone and welcome home ash

Golly is that the time?
Good morning from an overcast Bristol.
I haven’t read any posts yet, but hope everyone is planning/having a great long weekend.
The family left yesterday afternoon to camp, after a day of getting gas, more food, packing, haircuts…. The girls were very excited. I was invited but declined because I thought they could have a few days without me. I’m looking after their rabbits
Today, I’ll take the bus to my flat, measure up the living room curtain length, which I forgot to do last time.
Have a happy weekend. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩❤️🦩

Good morning all from a sunny, calm Suffolk seaside.

We travel back ‘home’ today to Essex. We’ll be back in a few weeks , fingers crossed.

I had an hours chat to my oldest friend on the phone yesterday. She’s just back from visiting her family in Oz, so plenty to talk about. We’re meeting up with our other school pal in a couple of weeks, and the chat will resume.

GG happy birthday to your Dd. Enjoy the celebrations. 🎈.

Ash how annoying for you . You just want to get home and unwind after your hols.

Sar I’m glad you’re feeling better at last. 💐.

I hope you all have a ‘good’ day. 🌷

Good morning Mick, morning all from cloudy but dry South Lanarkshire.

Yesterday I had an Occupational Health appointment by phone. The doctor agreed with me regarding how I’m managing my job and she doesn’t believe that I need any special procedures put in place. I know I’ll just have to be careful, which I am.

I have work today, I was last in on Monday which seems a long time ago.

Glad you’re feeling a little better Grandmabatty.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s grey and overcast, but at least it’s dry
We’re taking DGD to her dance class this morning and later we’ve been invited to DD2s for a family evening playing board games. The DGC (ages 8 and 9) still really enjoy that sort of thing and it’s lovely to be invited along too. I think Ticket to Ride is their favourite at the moment and the SkyJo card game too.
Quite an ordeal for for DMiL grammaretto but good that she’s home at last. I hope she’s much more comfortable now
That’s an early start GG13 and a busy day ahead, enjoy the birthday celebrations later if you’re still awake!
Hoping everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning from a grey and damp NE where it is 7 degrees.
Had a relaxed day, watched some TV and read half a novel.
My elder sister rang at 5pm and talked to me for two hours, it wasn't anything important just chat. I wasn't going to have any alcohol but only had time to heat a pizza so treated myself to a nice glass of red wine.
I am expecting news of a new addition to the family today, cousin's DIL was in labour when I went to bed.
DS and GD2 are visiting this afternoon and will be here until bedtime.
Sister and BIl will visit too and we will have a drink and put the world to rights.
Have a good Bank Holiday weekend.

Good morning all from bright but cloudy Harrogate
Glad you are getting your medical appointments sorted Mick and hopefully are back on track.
We’ll you’ll be glad to be homeAshcombe but what a palaver to get your keys!
Hope you’ve caught up with your medication Sar - acid reflux is horrible.
This bank holiday weekend will be like any other weekend, today I’ll bake and do housework just for starters. Yesterday I sat in oblivion all day after taking antihistamines to calm my skin. Did go to the U3A talk about Harrogate having an airport for
WWI Couldn’t follow it, too deaf and too far back in the room. DH enjoyed it though.
Have the best day possible folks

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a very sunny South Yorkshire. Rain is forecast for later this afternoon, but DD is coming over this morning to make a start on my garden. I cut a lot of stuff back yesterday so that I could see what the priorities are. Alliums have spread like a plague and all but a small patch need to be got rid of. Ditto eryngiums, and they are a pain to dig out. I hope she is up to it, because I can’t dig. A nice lunch will be her “wages”!
Have a lovely day one and all.

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny 🌞Northampton, but don't know how long it will last. I think it is supposed to stay dry, which will be good for rugby this afternoon. We have a 'friendly' against our close rivals, Leicester Tigers. After the match, which is the last home one this seadon, there will be presentations and farewells to Saints retiring or departing for pastures new.

A pleasant time yesterday at the shops, (tried on a new top in Next, but decided I needed a size bigger, which they didn't have...), and then walked to the surgery for my MMR booster.

Thinking of doing a bit of washing, seeing as the sun is shining, then an early lunch before rugby. Hotpot for dinner tonight.

Have a good weekend everyone

Good morning everyone from cool and cloudy Lancashire.

Hope your procedure goes smoothly this time Mick. It does seem to have dragged on. Acid reflux is awful Susan, it has caused me many a sleepless night. You have my sympathy.

Try to get a little rest this weekend GrannyGravy13, I’m tired just reading your post!

Your poor DMil Grammaretto, that sounds horrid. Hope she picks up now she’s home.

My eyes are now both pointing in the same direction again and the bruising is healing. As a dull day is forecast I’m hoping to get out for a walk later.

My thoughts are with Kalu, Baggs and all with troubles.

Have a good day all 🌹

I’m glad you’re feeling better Grandmabatty.

The railway museum will be running trains all weekend as it’s a bank holiday so expecting there will be a lot of visitors around the marina.

Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow, where it's 7°C .

Yesterday, we were supposed to visit Babydoll, after the golf. However, after becoming unwell during my morning visit to Silverburn, I had to return home and go to bed. So sadly no visit. 😢
I had been determined to go out, albeit foolishly.
DH tells me I am doing to much again!

Thank you for asking about Baby Gwen, she is coming on. However, she hasn't been discharged yet from the midwives, so that they can keep an eye on her stomach and weight issues.
All being well, they will bring her here today, as I'm not really up to going to their house, because my heart is playing up again and I have become quite breathless. It's so frustrating.
DH and I will be fighting over her!

To top things off, Dollie is unwell again. Her best friend was sent home from school yesterday with suspected Covid. Her friend's grandparents came back from holiday abroad with it.
I'm concerned because Dollie is CEV, like me. Her parents will test her this morning. DH and I were planning on going up for lunch on Sunday, but it looks as if it will be cancelled.

Susan, acid reflux is debilitating, it's so much more than just indigestion. I have developed the GORD cough again and was quite sick yesterday. I hope your reflux settles down today,

I wish you all the best of days. My thoughts are with all on here, who are burdened with worries and sorry. 💐

Good morning from a bright and sunny Essex by the sea.
I'm feeling so much better, hardly coughing at all.
A few bits to get in town this morning and a 'do' at the Yacht Club this evening. There will be a band who have a good reputation.
An upsetting chat with DD1 yesterday about DGD1. We are both so worried and upset for her. My heart breaks.
Have a super Saturday everyone xxx

Good morning all from a dull Black country, yesterday turned out lovely and sunny so time was spent in the garden don't think today will though.
Haven't read through yet late getting up and it's that time of the week again full English calling.
Friends coming later and we shall meet up with our other friends at the club.
Enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️.
