Good Morning Everyone,
Its a bright and dry start here in brackley again this morning.
I had a call yesterday from JR , as they found I need another Iron infusion as my levels are low, but the nurse told me to take iron tablets with water on a empty stomach , which I have just done until I get the appointment at the hospital in Bicester .
Today usual routine , the only trouble I have found is appointments and trips, seem to upset my normal routine depending on the time of day .
Take Care,
Mick

Granny Gravy13 please send my best wishes to Urmstongran she and Mr O are I my thoughts and prayers. She is a big miss on here as her posts were always so upbeat and cheery

Good morning everyone from a cloudy but warm Northampton.

So shocked to hear the sad.news from Urmston, sending good wishes and praying for a good outcome for her dear DH.

Sainsbury's delivery shortly, then an early lunch. No dance classes.today as our teacher is on holiday. Instead I am going to a health talk at our community centre; they organise a monthly series of talks on a health and well-being topic, bringing in an expert, usually a doctor. Today's is about eyesight and vision, things to be aware of as we get older.

Afterwards I think I shall have a mooch around the library, although I have a large pile of books to read at home!

Can't think what to have for dinner tonight; might resort to egg, beans and chips!

Wishing all a pleasant Thursday.

Morning from S Lanarkshire. glad you have a diagnosis baubles even if it’s not a great one. I hope they find meds that will help you.

Dashing as usual but I wanted to join everyone in sending support and prayers to Urmstongran and her husband. I kept thinking of the very poignant post she put up some time ago when she was watching her dear husband walking towards her and said she thought ‘Not yet please’. I am so sorry and like everyone else will be thinking about them.

Good morning from a sunny W Kent. Please pass on my best wishes and thoughts to Urmston.
Usual Thursday here with art group this morning and a visit from the gardener. He has told us his arthritis is getting worse and he may have to cut back on work for a while. We like him very much and feel worried for his family, I fear this may bring up the moving house again as neither of us can do it ourselves.
BlueSapphire by the time I get to Thursday I can't think what to eat either, sausage and egg here I guess, something quick anyway.

Good morning everyone from a sunny south coast. I haven’t posted for a while but would like to add my love and best wishes to Urmstongran, her DH and family at a very worrying time.

GrandmasueUK Thu 18-May-23 09:31:57

Although I'm not a regular poster I'd also like to add my thoughts and best wishes for Urms and family. I've missed her upbeat posts about the train station and her family.

Please pass on my love and best wishes to Urmstongran at this most difficult of times🌺

Nannytopsy Thu 18-May-23 09:35:30

Another reader -not-poster who misses Urmstongran . Please send her my love too.

Good morning Mick, Annie and all. It is beautifully sunny again here today and I am wondering whether to get the paint out and paint a bit more of our shed. The long side was done yesterday, and afterwards I more or less slept until it was time to cook supper. I know I don't have much energy these days, but that was silly.
Sending my prayers and best wishes to Mr and Mrs Urmstongran. I am another who misses her cheery posts.
Have a good day one and all.

Good morning Mick and all from a bright northwest coast.
Very sad news for Urmstongran and will be thinking of her and her family.💐

Lomo123 Thu 18-May-23 10:18:26

Good Morning. More thoughts and prayers for Urms and husband.

Wyllow3 Thu 18-May-23 10:29:11

Please add me to the list to send love to Urms. Very shocked to hear - they were so active.

Good Morning from S Yorks, where it is sunny and my cleaner is here and has helped heave a lot of de cluttering around bless her she's young and willing to have a go at any help I need. She actually likes cleaning and tidying - (evidence - tales of how she's done this or that at home and found this or that new way to clean x or Y)

Now icing my back. In 10 days I have cleaners in both my 2 bedrooms and I think I'll need her to pop by before for an hour so they can access where they need to get.

Good morning everyone. It’s warm, cloudy and
dry in this corner of Lancashire.

I got quite a lot done yesterday so will take it a bit slower today. I will carry on with the paperwork and get out for a walk later.

I’ve never read any Maggie O’Farrell GM, I will check her out. At the moment I’m listening to a history of Culloden and the aftermath. I have 2 ancestors fought there, both from the same Aberdeenshire family, one on each side!

Good to hear you both had a good night’s sleep Ash and also good to hear you’re feeling brighter Baubles, hope there is a treatment plan.

That’s shocking about cataract ops Grammaretto. There is no waiting list here, though it turned out mine didn’t need removing just yet. The Botox treatment seems to have sorted my eye squinty eye, now I just have to see how long it lasts. I may need it doing again in 3 months.

How lovely it is to read of so many of you enjoying time with GC, obviously they are all little angels 😇

Such sad news from Urms, I had feared that would be the reason for her absence. Thinking of her and all the family.

Have a good day all, hope any poorlies are soon on the mend. 🌻

JenniferEccles Thu 18-May-23 11:13:09

I think you’re going to have a long list of folk on here who wish you to pass on their very best wishes to Urms, GG13
but please may I be added to it too?

Along with everyone else I was so sorry to hear that Urms’s husband is very unwell.

Doodle Thu 18-May-23 11:15:47

GG I was so sorry to hear such upsetting news of Urms. Please pass on my love and will hold them both in my prayers.

Love and prayers to Urms and her family at this difficult time. 🪻🪻🪻

Blossoming, she wrote the well-received "Hamnet", as well as several other thought-provoking books. Not all are good, but...

GG please will you pass on my love and prayers to URMS...🌻

First time I’ve posted but have been reading all your posts for a while. Good morning Mick and everyone from a sunny mid Essex. Just wanted to say how sorry I am to read Urmstongran’s news.
