Good Morning Tuesday 2nd May 2023

A very happy birthday Mick

S somerset is set fair for today, it was glorious yesterday, hoping for similar today

GM, wishing all the best to you on this very special moving day

I had such a lovely hedonistic day yesterday, most of it outside, drinking coffee, spinning in the sun, reading my book Dunstan, and just thinking and listening to silence apart from bees. I am glad I re-strung my old lafuma, it is a delight for reading

A good day to everyone

Good morning from a grey NE.
Happy Birthday Mick, enjoy your day.
Thinking of grandMattie on moving day.
Had a lazy day yesterday, mostly on the sofa with a novel, weather was miserable so I was pleased I stayed home.
Washer on since 7am so will get everything washed and ironed today.
Have a good day.

Happy Birthday, Mick.
Hope the move goes smoothly GrandMattie.
I too, am thinking about Marydoll
Hope all who are feeling poorly get relief and all travellers have safe journeys.
Just waiting dgd and the dogs for breakfast and walk to school. (Dgd not dogs 😀)

Good morning all and it’s very still and dull here in Essex.

Yesterday I went with my friend to the U3A meeting . Speaker was long winded, boring and just read from a script. No personality and unclear speech. Oh dear! We always say ‘never again’ but live in hope the next one will be good.

Today I have Bridge club and will enjoy the camaraderie and fun.

Happy birthday Mick 🎂.
GM hope all goes well. Grrr about the ff. .
Nice to hear from you Bellasnanna. 👋.
Hope Marydoll is ok.🙏.

Take care all 🌷

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s a cloudy start to the day, we saw the sun yesterday for all of 5 minutes!
A very Happy Birthday mick I hope you enjoy your special day and thank you for starting this lovely thread every morning
At last it’s moving in day gMattie hoping all goes well and wishing you all the very best in your new home!
We had a lovely day out and about yesterday, we walked quite a lot and it was good to get the walking boots on again. Nothing much planned this morning but later we’re picking up DGD from school and helping with the after school activities, she’ll be here for a sleepover tonight.
Hoping marydoll is doing ok
Hi 👋 Bellasnanna good to hear from you
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. It’s a pleasure to wish you a Happy Birthday, Mick🎁🎂🍺
My back is marginally better this morning - but I said that yesterday and it wasn’t! I spent most of yesterday tinkering with my laptop. It took me ages to get into the blimmin’ thing! If it wasn’t for the fact that it houses some very precious photos, I would dump it in the bin! Today I have to do some cleaning if I can stay upright.
Take it easy, Wyllow - you can’t rush these things.
Have the best day you can folks.

Happy birthday 🎂 Mick, hope you have a great day.

Good morning everyone from a grey Northampton, but forecast to be dry, so the bedding is in the washing machine, and the bed is airing.

Spent most of yesterday in the garden, weeding before and after lunch, and managed to clear most of the borders. Then I got the chair out and sat in the sun for a couple of hours with the newspaper and a glass of wine 🍷. But I am aching so much after all the weeding, so will take it easy this morning, and shall venture out for our health walk this afternoon; it will do my muscles good.

Good luck with your move grandMattie.

Have a good day everyone.

Morning all from West Oxfordshire.
Happy birthday Mick!🎂🎁🌹
I do hope all is well with Marydoll.
I pray all goes well with your move GM!
It is my granddaughter’s 7th birthday today. They have been in Ibiza for a few days and we’ll see them on Sunday.
The gardener is coming this morning.
I am having my Long Term Conditions Review this afternoon - but aren’t the nurses on strike? I have to go to the Health Centre anyway to collect OH’s medication. After last year’s LTC review I had quite a few scans (colonoscopy, CT scan, bone density scan and ultrasound) as my GP thought the blood tests had been strange. I also have a Click and Collect from Waitrose. A new nightdress. OH will be going to his shooting club tonight so I’ll watch an old Midsummer Murder! Have a good day.

Good morning from a brightish Leicestershire. Happy Birthday Mick.
Hope the move goes well Mattie.

Not much planned today other than dog walking.

Wishing everyone a pleasant day.

Good Morning Mick everyone from a dull dry Hull.

Wishing you a very happy birthday 75th today Mick 🎂

Best wishes for a smooth moving in day grandMattie 💐

I am taking my mum to Hornsea Freeport today she wants to buy some new loose colourful summer tops. I’m hoping we can take our time have a good browse around all the shops and maybe a cuppa out but I know we will be straight there and back.

Hope everyone has a lovely day today. Thinking of those struggling with illness and stress 🌻🌻

Good morning all from the Black country where it is overcast.
Happy birthday Mick enjoy your day and thank you for this lovely thread 🍺🎂.
GM hope the move goes well and what a nuisance with the fridge freezer.
Enjoy your holiday NannyJan I love Portugal short flight and same time zone we usually stay in Alvor.
Wyllow 💐
Steamer packed up yesterday so that's todays job go and get a new one.
Enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️.

Good morning to the Birthday Boy Mick. Enjoy the cycling whilst I watch the tennis from Madrid. 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️

Hope your moving in grandMattie goes smoothly.

It is our WI meeting this afternoon and we are having a Cream Tea to celebrate the forthcoming Coronation.

Come back to us soon Marydoll.

A brief (for me) good morning from me, to wish Mick a happy birthday on his special day.

Thank you to all those, who have missed me and showed concern.
I was very unwell with a virus, a bit of a chest infection and the continuous vomiting triggered an angina attack. Unfortunately my stash of anti nausea medication was useless.
Due to the fact that I am immunocompromised, I can't fight these things off quickly any more, so sleeping it off is the best plan.
Poor Mr MD was frantic with worry and wanted me to go to hospital, however I was having none of it.

On top of that my wee Dollie had the same bug, accompanied by nosebleeds. 😔
Thankfully, I am on the mend, still feeling rubbish, but not as rubbish as I was! I have just lost two days of my life, so I have some making up to do!

This a big day for my darling Babydoll, 😍 she is being weighed again today, fingers crossed she won't be referred to hospital.
It's her mum's birthday today, so a weight gain would be the best present ever.

How lovely to see Bella posting, I do miss my trips to Malta!

My thoughts have been with my pal, Kalu and her DH.
I'm now going to catch up on all your doings! Best wishes to all the poorlies.
Have a good day folks!

Good morning all and a happy birthday to You Mick have a good one dance like no one is watching and sing like no one is listening

Like you Greyduster I too have precious photos on my iPad and I love reminiscing with them.
Its a lovely sunny start to the day here on the east coast of Fife this coastline is so beautiful I have a view to die for. My dd was telling me Donald Trump was in her neck of the woods yesterday what a palaver he’s meant to be going to build another golf course there even although the one he already has is failing to make a profit he’s definitely got money to burn the silly fool

I have just realised its moving day, good luck, GM!

Happy Birthday Mick 🥂🎂🎉

Gingstet where is our sun?

We are on GC duty today due to teachers strikes. One will sleepover as they gave an early school start tomorrow.

Good luck with your move grandMattie I hope you get your fridge sorted.

Lovely to hear from you Bellasnana enjoy your twin GSs.

Marydoll I hope you are OK 😘

Have a good day folks 🙋‍♀️🦩

Good morning everyone, a cloudy start here on the hill in Wiltshire, not a lot of sunshine here at the moment 🙄
Happy birthday Mick, I hope you have a lovely day.
Good luck grandMattie, I will be thinking of you 🤗

Completely overdid the gardening yesterday, wiped myself out by teatime 😵‍💫, and didn’t sleep well either. All my own fault.
Garden is looking lovely, I am really pleased with it (and my efforts!). Just two tubs to weed today and a bit of planting (I have asked DH to dig the last border 🤞🏻)
Enjoy today x

Good morning from Essex by the sea. The sun is trying to break through the clouds but it is a little chilly.
Happy Birthday Mick, enjoy your day.
I hope today goes well for you GM.
Hopefully you will continue to improve Marydoll.
Have a lovely day everyone xx

Happy birthday Mick. Today you must have a treat whilst out shopping or to enjoy whilst watching the cycling.
I rarely post but follow the chat and GM I wish you well with the move.Once settled into your new home you can then begin to build up a new social life of activity.I do admire your outlook on life.
Worried about MDoll and do hope she reports back with a little improvement in health.
Dull day here in West Yorks and after a busy family weekend would prefer a day at home. A friend with mental health issues has become rather reliant on me and I know would be so disappointed if I cancelled our mooch about town.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders.
Happy birthday Michael and thanks for your faithful start to each day. It's really appreciated 👍
Enjoy the cycling.
Good luck with the move gMattie
Keep out the way is my advice
Here the tradition is to have a pie and a pint with the removers but it would need to be non alcoholic these days.

I had the dehumidifier on all yesterday and washed 3 loads of towels used for mopping up after the flood on Sunday.

Today chiropractor, window cleaner who didn't come last week a friend for coffee distraction and another friend for a cuppa this afternoon.
Thinking particularly of my Glesgu pals Marydoll
Kalu and others with troubles
Have the best day you can..

Good morning from a cloudy W Kent off to our large shopping centre this morning as DH needs new slippers and I need some cleaning bits and pieces for when the cleaner starts helping us.
Happy Birthday Mick have a good day
All the best for the move gM
Sorry you have felt so unwell Marydoll hope all goes well for the weigh in.
All the best

Good morning all from cloudy Harrogate
Happy birthday Mick you must be my twin!! Today is also my birthday! I’m older than you by 4 years - it’s a popular day for birthdays 🎂 with Marydolls DD sharing it and a friend of mine who I will see this pm. We’ve missed you Marydoll and hope you are on the mend now.
Hope today goes smoothly Grandmattie.
This pm I am at a church group celebrating the coronation the DH and I go on to DDs for a birthday bite
Have the best day possible folks

Good morning.
We had a good clear up in the garden yesterday and then a trip to a local nursery to replace a few plants that had been killed by heavy frosts.
Today we have DGS 2 for an hour or so this morning and again early evening while his big brother has a swimming lesson.
I am out to lunch with 3 friends and then a Flower club meeting later.
Happy Birthday Mick.
Hope GMwill be happy in her new home.
Glad to hear from Marydoll hope you soon improve.
Thoughts with other poorly people and those with worries.
Wishing you all a good day.
