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

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 🌻🌻

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.

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.

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.

brook2704 Tue 02-May-23 07:42:18

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 💐

Gingster Tue 02-May-23 07:34:36

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 🌷

Grandmachrisy47 Tue 02-May-23 07:32:50

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 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.

karmalady Tue 02-May-23 07:28:23

A very happy birthday Mick flowers

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

Alygran Tue 02-May-23 07:27:48

Good morning from North Yorkshire. Dull and dry today.
Happy birthday Mick
Good luck with the move grandMattie
A day of bits and pieces today. I have some power washing to do, the car to clean and vacuum and some gardening.
Have a good day everyone.

Taichinan Tue 02-May-23 07:25:30

Good morning all, and Happy Birthday Mick. Have a lovely day and be sure to get yourself a little treat while you're out.
Hope all goes well with the move-in day grandmattie. And you get the fridge-freezer sorted in short order.
Sending thoughts to Marydoll and hoping she's back with us soon.
It's another grey day on the Angus coast. Again. If I never see another grey cloud it will be too soon! Actually we did see breaks in it with the occasional patch of blue yesterday, and some sunshine, and the washing dried, so maybe ........
Must get onto the phone to the garage soon to explain the reason for my car sitting on his doorstep two days early. It was booked in for Wednesday afternoon for a new clutch, but died on me on Sunday. And then try to get a taxi to take me to tai chi - no buses up here! It's practice for when I can no longer drive I suppose.
Have the best day you can everybody x

NanaDana Tue 02-May-23 07:25:11

Good morning all, from an overcast but dry Tyneside. One of our pooches visits the Groomer this morning, which she seems to quite like, so is always made welcome. No other plans today other than perhaps a quick shop for some basics. Hope your day goes well, wherever you are, and whatever you're doing. Happy birthday, Mick.

glammagran Tue 02-May-23 07:23:23

Got full day of childcare today. Both GCs were over with their parents yesterday for tea in the garden. It was the first sunny afternoon for a week. DGS2 was very tantrum prone yesterday. He’s quite hard work compared to his sister.

Last weeks blood test went no better. Nurse forgot to do one of the tests so it had to be repeated. 3 blood tests for one request. Hmm.

Good luck with your move GM.
Happy Birthday to Mick
Hope to hear from Marydoll. I too, have thought of Maw.
Thinking of Kalu and her DH also.

Have a good day all.

kittylester Tue 02-May-23 07:02:51

Good morning all from a cloudy North Leicestershire.

Many happy returns of the day, Mick.

We are off to York to see DH's brother. He is still in hospital following a stroke while on holiday in the Scilly Isles.

Morning from a grey S Yorks.

Happy birthday Mick and of course fingers and toes crossed for today GMattie

Oh dear what a night.... last thing i went and twigged my back really badly (exactly same place, agony to walk) and tho I took a strong painkiller was not enough.

So I came down at 3am to make myself a very milky latte - and dropped the caftiere on the floor, smashing the glass and coffee all over so had to mop up. so more dosing up and a bit more sleep.

Last time I got some help from the physio/trainer but thinking it might be a good idea to just get an x ray to check its not structural.

If it eases a bit will swim not try anything else. I'm having a run of bad luck - CFS, bowel investigations to complete, and 3 weeks of waiting for result of MRI on a very large lump on arm which will have to come off!

Pittcity Tue 02-May-23 06:54:59

Good morning from cloudy Colchester. A dry day but not as warm as yesterday.
Charity shop volunteering as it's Tuesday. We have a uniform top and fleece. It's the time of year where I carry the fleece as it's cool in the shop.

Have a very Happy Birthday Mick 🎉

Hope your moving in day goes smoothly Mattie 🏠

Love to all 🦩 x

NannyJan53 Tue 02-May-23 06:48:54

Good morning from yet another dull and grey Black Country.

Gym this morning, then off on the train late afternoon to the Airport where we will stay overnight ready for our 8am flight tomorrow morning to Portugal.

Happy Birthday Mick enjoy your day. flowers

Hope today goes smoothly gM, and you can relax tonight in your new home. So annoying about the fridge though.

I don't think I have seen Maw posting lately? Hope she is ok.

Wishing you all a lovely day

Beechnut Tue 02-May-23 06:46:18

Good Morning everyone from sunny Severnside.

A very Happy Birthday to you Mick 🎂🎉🍺

I’m off to get my haircut and run some errands this morning. Later I’ll mow the lawn and potter in the garden. A few shrubs need to be planted.

Hope your moving in day goes smoothly Mattie 💐🏠
and everyone enjoys the sunshine 🌞🦩

Gala Tue 02-May-23 06:45:35

Good morning all. Dull, dismal but dry here in Sefton.
Zoom exercise class this morning if I can stop coughing long enough to participate. At least we'll all be muted so they won't have to listen to me. School pickup this afternoon as mum is away for a short break & dad has a meeting. We get to stay for tea so no cooking for me today😃.
Happy birthday Mick.
Good luck with the boxes gMattie & the fridge freezer.
Take care.

Susan56 Tue 02-May-23 06:26:46

Hope the move goes well grandMattie.

Thinking of Marydoll and hoping we hear from her today🤞🏻

Have the best day you can everyone🦩

Abitbarmy Tue 02-May-23 06:25:06

Good morning from North Yorkshire where I’m still in bed. I may get up soon and go up the allotment for an hour or so whilst it’s quiet then do some ironing. Forecast says dull and cool but still. It’s so often windy these days I much prefer it still even if a bit dull. Happy Birthday to you Mick I hope you spoil yourself today, enjoy. GM I hope all goes well on this most exhausting of days and the Ff gets replaced pronto. Tell them you want it unpacking for free this time due to the inconvenience. Fingers crossed for MD. Have a good day everyone.

Ashcombe Tue 02-May-23 06:24:47

Good luck with the move, grandMattie, including with the fridge/freezer. What a nuisance! 💐
