Good morning from a sunny cold Co Armagh, for goodness sake ! It’s July ! We need nice weather 😔
We visited the Burrell about 35 years ago , I’d love to see it now , such an amazing collection of stuff . One of my daughters bought a cross stitch kit , she completed it and had it framed , she was about 10 I think , it’s on her wall now , she rescued it when we moved house
Candles will be lit later for all poorly Grans , Daughters and Husbands

Good morning from West York's just posting to say my thoughts are with poorlies hope all have a good day.
Hope to get news of baby Pittcity.

I meant to add that the Burrell Museum is a well deserved winner Marydoll so you should be justly proud by association.

Good morning from Durham. Bright and breezy again. A day of rest and a long lie in!
Hoping Mick isn’t left waiting for clarity - minds run riot?
Marydoll I can only send you a warm, gentle hug.
Best wishes to all. X

Good morning Mick, Annie and all.
Mick, if you have to be prescribed Chemo tablets, as others have said, they are OK. I have been taking them for 2 1/2 years now, and tolerate them well.
No great action going on here, the energy levels, or lack of them, are about the same, although I did make a batch of MAMADE yesterday. I can potter in the garden for half an hour, pulling up a few weeds.
I was worried on Tuesday though. I saw a Dr, and she examined my tummy, then said she could feel a mass! I was so taken aback, that I didn't ask her more questions, although she did say she could organise a scan. I said I would wait until I spoke to my oncologist in a couple of weeks.
A friend is coming for coffee this morning, she will put me right.
GrandMattie, surely your bathroom floor should have been repaired before you moved in?
To Marydoll, the Urms, and all I have forgotten, sending love and prayers for return to better health.
Have a good day one and all.

Sympathy to the Corners, Mick and Marydoll who are all having such a tough time. Hoping for positive news in the future. Different sort of sympathy to gMattie who may need to make a big fuss to get through the bureaucracy. Life can be so annoying sometimes.

Friends coming to take me out to lunch so am having a leisurely morning. Not seen them for over a year so much to catch up on. Meanwhile GD1 is enjoying primary school life and came home full of stories.

Good morning from sunny East Lothian. We are waiting for a plumber who will replace our old and overlarge hot water tank. I hope it will be a straightforward job and not take too long. My plan is to escape to DD’s house and do some gardening. The family are on holiday this week and next, with their caravan in Normandy and Britanny. It is strange being up here without them. The cat was pleased when we appeared to do some gardening and pick the blackcurrants - she was excited to be able to come in through the front door, rather than her cat flap at the back!

We had a lovely walk yesterday, at the coast. Lots of wildflowers, birds and butterflies. The thunderstorm considerately waited until we were at the garden centre.

Mick, I’m sorry you had such a worrying night but hope you will be reassured by your oncology team and by the experiences of your friends on here.

Marydoll, I was excited to hear the news of the Burrell’s win on radio 4 yesterday evening. I said to DH that your DiL was project manager. He is familiar with some of the names on GN! I am sorry your health is so fragile and hope a restful day will help.
Oops, good to hear that MzOops is so much better.
Gmbatty enjoy your holiday.

Good wishes to all for the day. The ‘men’ have arrived. The sun has disappeared 🙁

Cornergran sorry to hear about your DDIL, I hope she gets treatment soon

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. A nice looking start but I saw the weather forecast. It was rain showers sweeping across Scotland.

I hope the chemo works for you Mick and is manageable.

I have some tiny lemon sprouts grown from pips on my window ledge Marydoll also an oak tree outside from an acorn planted in 2020. It's now about 2ft tall
We are called optimists.

Have a wonderful holiday grandmabatty very well deserved and necessary.
DD has come home from hers with a throat infection. She's on antibiotics from the pharmacist. Apparently the examination was more thorough than a GP. no appointments

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning,
the sun is trying to shine and we are promised a fine, if cloudy, day.
So sorry to read your news mick, but I’m sure you will receive more clarity when you speak to the consultant. That doesn’t stop you worrying though, so I hope it will be soon when you speak to him/her. 💐
Supermarket shop today.
Take care everyone.
