Good Morning Thursday 4th May 2023

Safe travels today Corner.

Good morning from sunny Wiltshire, it’s lovely having a bright start to the day.
Yesterday I finished doing all the bits in the back garden, I’m really delighted with how it’s turned out. DH dug an huge hole and we planted the pieris that’s been growing in a tub for 20+ years, it’s more like a straggly tree at least 8’ tall but now in the border!
DD is coming today for the night, must crack on and tidy up.
Have a lovely day everyone x

Thanks Ashcombe. Very interesting. Good to learn something new so early in the morning!

Good morning from sunny Colchester. Feeling chilly though so layers are on.
Housework and Lidl this morning as DH has the funeral of a work colleague this afternoon.

Brilliant news Gingster 🙂

Love to all 🦩 x

PS. Hope all those that can will get out to vote. Our postal votes were sent a while ago.

Good morning from Essex by the sea. The sun is shining but it's very windy.
Brilliant news Gingster , such a relief for you all .
Voting for us first thing then food shopping.
Enjoy the day everyone xx

The best news Gingster🥳I’m so happy for you all🍾🥂

Good morning Mick and all who follow from the Angus coast where the sun is breaking through.
What wonderful news gingster! I'm so happy for your DD - and for you. Happy Birthday to The Twins too.
Mick I saw Brackley in TV last night on "Location Location" - looks a lovely place. Glad you're feeling a bit better.
I hope you're happy with your new home grandmattie.
I'm still using taxis as the car is still off the road, so another one needed to get to tai chi again this morning. It will be lovely to have my own wheels back again - hopefully soon!
Have a lovely sunny day everyone x

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders where perhaps the sun is trying to come through the clouds.

DS birthday today which always brings back happy memories.

Wonderful news Gingster

I'll be on a U3A walk today leaving the plumber to fit a new water tank after the previous one burst at the weekend.
Have a good day everyone.

Wonderful news Gingster I am so happy for you, your daughter and her family.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 8° and bright but feels cool. It's quite windy. Gingster that's such good news. I'm pleased for your daughter.
Yesterday was quiet, just some pottering in the house and garden.
Today I have art class in Stirling. I'm looking forward to it. I have oil pastels to try out so I'll see how they do. Baked potato with salad for dinner later. No voting in Scotland.

Good morning from a sunny W Kent. Off to art group this morning and then the dentist this afternoon. Both Dd1 and DIL have their birthdays today. One is teaching and the other Poll Clerking.
Wonderful news Ginster
Wishing everyone the best day possible

Good morning all from cloudy Harrogate
Great news Gingster you must be so happy! Will read about the tyres Ashcombe never heard of nitrogen in tyres before, but we are due new tyres soon so could be worth thinking about
Yesterday had a trip to Morrisons in Ripon then a nap after a bad night. Today my shopping delivery from Sainsburies and possibly a trip to town for anything I’ve forgotten for my baking ready for my little party. Wish people would let me know if they are coming!!
Have the best day possible folks

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

What wonderful news, Gingster, and good to hear you feel stronger, Mick. Your iron infusion must be working.

Today is DD's birthday today, my miracle baby. It was thought I had miscarried her, but no bed was available for me in our local hospital (where my mum had been the senior midwifery sister) to have an op, so I was sent to a larger one, where they were able to do a scan and found a heartbeat. I remember a nurse holding my hand and telling me not to give up hope.
It was a difficult pregnancy and she was born early, but here she is, still causing me angst, thirty nine years later. 🥰

Yesterday we saw Babydoll with lots of cuddles to be had. She is much more alert now and I saw such a difference in her.
However, she is very colicky, but DIL was most impressed when I managed to stop her screaming and settle her down. I haven't lost my touch despite being a nervous wreck, when holding her and DS2 telling me how wonderful his MIL is with her! 😉

Today will be a gentle one. I'm still feeling out of sorts and experiencing high RA pain. My RA appointment was cancelled, despite me needing some intervention.
I hope to potter in the garden, its good for the soul and anyway, I have two raspberry bushes to plant!
I also have some church admin, postponed from when I was so unwell. #the great procrastinator.

Wishing you all a pleasant day, whatever your plans. I hope the poorlies find a way to get through the day and Mr Baubles manages to get to Edinburgh.

Good morning all from Foxyland where it is sunny but with a cool wind.
I have a shopping delivery this evening (family plus in laws to lunch on Sunday - Coronation Chicken of course) but first today after voting, I am off to meet up with D at the Hotel Chocolat factory shop and cafe near Junction 16 on the M1.
Coffee and probably lunch and just maybe a browse around the shop
Nuff said.
Wonderful news Gingster - every mother’s nightmare.
Kind thoughts to all with worries or who are poorly - wishing you all a pleasant day.

Good morning from North Yorkshire. It’s a bright start.
Great news Gingster.
Off to Saltaire today with some friends. A trip postponed from 2019!
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from a beautiful sunny Suffolk. What wonderful news Gingster about your DD. I’m sure whatever ongoing symptoms she has from her treatment will seem nothing now and well worth putting up with. I’m sure your whole family will have a marvellous celebratory weekend.

I’m off for lunch with 3 friends at the seaside and then a pedicure later in the afternoon. Can’t quite decide whether to have varnish or not? I think it might be tempting fate to anticipate wearing sandals just yet!

Hope today is a good one for all and those will worries find some comfort.

Great news from Gingster, have been following her family’s anxious journey and so glad they have such cause for celebration. Good news too from Mick; we just need better news of Marydoll.

Voting and a facial are all that today holds though I could usefully tackle a cupboard of two if the spirit moves me. Or I could read. Decisions!

Morning, the best news Gingster.
Overcast here, storm forecast later because I’ve got bedding to wash.
Enjoy your day 🦩🦩

Good Morning Mick and everyone from a dull morning in Hull.

grandMattie thinking of you today such a busy time for you with thoughts along the way for your son💐

Ginster what wonderful news this morning. Wishing your DGSs a very happy birthday.

Marydoll happy birthday to your DD and to hear news of Babydoll.

My son in China sent a scan picture yesterday with such a clear pic of baby’s face. With only 3 weeks to go and a 3D scan it’s bound to be clear. All is well which is great.

Have a lovely day everyone. 🌻🌻

Good morning from the Black country where blue skies are beginning to appear, lovely sunny day yesterday and we managed to achieve lots in the garden.
Brilliant news Ginster so pleased for you and your family.
Lots of birthdays so best wishes to all celebrating.
Trip to the bank to pay in a cheque and will pop into aldi to see what the Thursday bargains are.
We do postal vote so that's all done.
Safe travels Ash and anybody else on the move.
Enjoy your Thursday everyone whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️.

Good Morning from West Midlands. Beautiful sunny day yesterday, the bluebells look amazing. Wonderful news from Gingster. Pilates and training today to accommodate afternoon picnic at school with grandchildren tomorrow.

Thank you GG13, I am, but the cables for Wi-Fi and TV still elude me. A roomful of boxes still to go though.
Wonderful news Gingster!
Bon voyage Ash and hope that olddudders shifts that cough soon.

Good morning Mick and everyone from a hazy/ sunshiny day in Oxfordshire.
Had a good day yesterday, once my car is emptied of Charity shop goods, I now have a carful of stuff to go to the tip, only a few miles away, so not a problem, but there are usually queues when it’s a fine day.
Mop and bucket out today as sorting and cleaning the conservatory, windows as well, that’s a long job requiring steps and plenty of elbow grease.
Ginster excellent news, I know exactly how you must be feeling, MissOops is 23yrs Cancer free, but I still fret every time she is ill. Although her Cancer changed her life, she has come to terms with it, probably more than I have.
Have a good day everyone, safe travels for those on the move.
Let’s hope we have another warm day, it makes such a difference.

Good morning from sunny Leicestershire.

In a rush today because going on an NWR boat trip to celebrate the coronation with morning coffee. We are all dressing up to the nines!!
Doggy was walked at 7am!

Wonderful news Gingster I am sure your DD will start to feel better now she knows there is nothing sinister going on.

Hoping everyone has a good day.
Btw solar panel installation did not go to plan yesterday - just another little stress!
