Good Morning Monday 3rd July 2023

Good morning from Kirkwall. It is still grey but marginally less windy and not raining. Yet.
Oh. Ash, what a shame the success of your operation has been marred by your traumatic discharge. I hood you can overcome it soon.
Yesterday’s weather was horrible, cold windy and very wet. We mostly pootled about in the car. We went south and east as the annual marathon was taking place (poor, poor runners) in the north and west of Mainland.
The Churchill barriers are most interesting, there was an exhibition in S Ronaldsay in the fossil museum. Also an explanation of the events in both WWs at Scapa Flow.
Various other places visited including the gloop (or gloop) which amused the girls no end 😂
Ring of Brodgar today and other stuff today, including returning one car and collecting another!
May all your troubles be little ones. Carpe diem Xxxx

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from Insomnia Towers South Yorkshire where we have a brightish start to the day but it’s not set to last. Mick I’m glad you seem to be feeling better today. Yesterday started out quite well and just got worse and I had so much stuff going round in my head that I slept very badly, so a day at home today. I have drawers that need tidying and paperwork to sort out so that will keep me busy.
Have the best day you can, folks.

Good morning from a fine Torbay with wind expected later.

An excellent journey home yesterday took less than an hour. Luckily, it’s dual carriageway throughout. (A30, A38 then A380) A lovely surprise awaited me: a kindhearted neighbour offered me a plated roast chicken dinner. My very own Meals on Wheels from just across the hallway! Despite my request for a small helping, the plate came fully laden, including three vegetables, roast potatoes, stuffing balls, Yorkshire pudding and pigs in blankets! I am blessed with good neighbours of various ages, all of whom are at work during the day, being younger than me!

A busy day ahead with my usual exercise class and a rehearsal this evening. This morning, I have an appointment with a counsellor as I don’t feel that I've recovered my emotional and mental health since my heart surgery last Autumn. The circumstances of my discharge from hospital still haunt me at times.

Please take care about lifting things, Mick; it’s good to hear that your system is settling. I hope today begins a good week for everyone. 🦩💐😎🥰🦩
