Good Morning Tuesday 26th July 2023

Lovely photo Foxygloves. Thanks for sharing it.

Hi 👋 coco12 it’s lovely to have you join us and I hope you enjoy joining in this daily thread 😀

Late visit this morning. Cut and colour first this morning hotly followed by Sainsbury’s delivery. Just having lunch and reading your posts. Sun shining here in Co Durham, but forecast is for rain later.
Had a nice meal yesterday evening, it’s turning into a regular Monday treat.
Welcome Coco12, good luck for today Mick., thoughts as ever with Urms, Kalu and Baggs and all with worries.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning (just) all.
I hopeMick has the right date for his appointment!
Not a date I will forget as DH and I were married 53years ago today in pouring rain and a howling gale in St Andrew’s.
Fortunately it faired up (eventually) for our reception at Fernie Castle and the stormy start was a good omen for the happy if not uneventful 47 years we had together .
With kind thoughts especially to Corner, Urms and Kalu and all who know whereof I speak 💔

Thank you! Great to be here. So I'm from Yorkshire and live with my husband. Working part time - 4 days and around 5 years left to work.
We have 3 children who are scattered around the country and my daughter who is the furthest and partner have 2 boys 4 and 6. Although it's been a couple of years at least I'm struggling with an empty nest and feeling a bit lonely. So..
Really looking forward to chatting here

👋 welcome coco12 look forward to hearing more from you.

A very late hello from S E Essex, where the sun has finally made an appearance.

Our teenagers have been picked up by DS, the beds are stripped, just need to find my ironing mojo.

My sister is coming for lunch today with her two girls, I have the 8yr old whilst DD is at work, DiL is joining us with two GC.

Haven’t read the thread for a couple of days, will try and catch up with all your news by the end of the week 🤣🤣🤣. The summer school holidays are always extremely busy for me.

(((Hugs))) for our dear friends in need.

Have a good day folks 🙋‍♀️🦩

Hello there Coco12 👋🏻

Welcome coco12! We love to see Newbies here. Is there a special thread? I don't think so. Just join in any conversation on any thread that takes your fancy. This is a good one to start!

Good morning everyone from sunny Lancashire. I hope your appointment goes well Mick.

Yesterday was another quiet day, MrB was pottering in the garden and I managed to sort and shred a huge pile of paperwork, do the laundry and make a slow cooker curry. I didn’t manage to get out for a walk as I’d used up all my energy by late afternoon. I was a bit apprehensive about the curry given my recent digestive problems but I felt fine. Hoping that’s one less thing to worry about and the curry was delicious. Nothing planned for today, we will see how it goes.

I’m loving reading all your news and plans, you are an industrious bunch.

Thinking of Kalu, Urms, Baggs and all who are dealing with illness right now.

Have a good day all 🌻

Hi Coco12 - welcome to the thread which is for absolutely anybody, everybody and the dog!
Hopefully, you’ll tell us a little more about yourself?
You’ll get the gist from reading the previous posts - usually (unless he’s indisposed) started by Mick first thing. Have a good day.

That should read “Living”, GMattie, rather than “Otto”. Wakey, wakey, Garra!

Morning
My first post so just saying Hi! Wasn't sure if there is a thread for newbies?

Good morning from the Essex coast. We have sun and cloud in equal measures, I'm not sure which one will win.
More admin this morning and a trip to the Post Office.
Our car has gone to have all the little scrapes, that DH made, repaired. He is driving a manual car for the next few days, glad it's not me.
We had a helicopter very low overhead for about an hour last night. What a noise !!
Have a pleasant day everyone and let us hope that we all see some sun over the next few days. xxx

Good morning from a cloudy but dry East Lothian. It’s our last day here for now - back in September 🙂
We have the excitement of taking a builder’s bag of garden pruning to the recycling centre. DD has a hospital appointment that we will take her to. DGSs are off to Speyside for their DofE excursion - mainly by kayak. Motivating them to get ready yesterday was a nightmare. One has autism and the other is dyslexic and both are very ‘teenage’ at the moment 😬

Thoughts with all those with challenges. I hope your appointment goes ok, Mick.

Good morning Mick, Annie and all. Best of luck with your appointment Mick.
I slept badly last night, after watching that dreadful programme about meat, with Gregg Wallace. Gave me nightmares.
So, having a blood test this morning is not exactly the best timing.
Visited our solicitors yesterday afternoon, to sign our LPA's. I think there should be an evening class to 'walk' you through it! Sign here, there, but not until 'A' has signed, etc. spinning head!
I do applaud all those grans who do so much child care. We always lived too far away to be any use to ours, and also I worked for many years.
Marydoll continue to take it easy, hmmm...
Thinking of the Kalu's, the Urms and all those with worries.
Have a good day one and all.

A late good morning from Sefton.
“A man called Otto” is a remarkable film imo, GMattie, one I’d happily see again. We were supposed to be looking after grand dog but her “mum” is now wfh.
Best of luck with your appointment Mick. Thoughts remain with those who need our support.

Good morning from a sunny , chilly Co Armagh
I was thinking of how things change , at the first glimpse of sun it was on with the sun lotion , reach for the deck chair and out in the garden , by which time it was probably raining ,
Now it’s on with the washing machine , get the sun screen on and the chair is in the shade !
I was so tired yesterday that I just gave my Daughter a shopping list and stayed home , she is a star , returned with the necessary plus a treat !
Washing machine is now spinning , I hope it dries before the showers return
Have the best day you can folks

Good Morning from an overcast S Yorks.

Bests with that appointment Mick.

Probably just the gym today to be good and do physio exercises

The very best for poorlies and may family another trips out be good ones.

Good morning everyone from a cloudy north Kent.

Yesterday’s art group was very productive and enjoyable; we have an excellent teacher and assistant and we all look forward to our sessions on Monday morning.

Today I have an eye test; can’t believe it’s been a year since the last one. I have slow growing cataracts due to living for some years in Asia and Africa where you tended to screw your eyes up against the sun’s glare rather than wear sunglasses. The cataracts are beginning to make their presence felt so I shall have a chat as to what can be done - I suspect not a lot!

Have DGS 1 and 2 this morning so they will have to occupy themselves with grandad whilst I am out; think a visit to the allotment might be in order where they can help pick some produce.

Hope you all have a good day.

Good morning all from bright but coolish Argyle.

Good luck with your appointment Mick.

Enjoy your reunion with the family Stilllearning.

We had an enjoyable day yesterday with DD sand family. The morning was spent at the loch as DSiL took the three eldest out kayaking, they stayed close to the shore and DD, DH, littlest child, and daft dug watched from our perch on the rocks. After lunch at our cottage we were back at the lochside for a guided session with a lovely young marine scientist who helped the children identify shells and seaweeds and explained some of the work she does. Great fun.

Not sure what’s happening today as yet, possibly swimming and tennis for them, reading in the garden for me.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning Mick and all from Sunnyside northwest coast.
First time back at the music club today after holiday, so will have a warble this morning and organise my songs. Memorising two new songs. It will be nice to see everyone again, even those who are not my cup of tea…
Slept well for a change as put the cat out last night. No jumping on me at 4.30 in the middle of a dream about James Norton.😁
Hope your appointment goes well Mick and thoughts to all with troubles.

Good morning from Durham. Blue sky and sunny, but not sure of the temperature yet. I fell asleep and slept on the sofa last night. I’m a bit stiff, but think I’m going to have to set an alarm to go to bed, not to get up!! It’s happened a few times now. Coffee this morning with a friend who has a brand new, as yet nameless granddaughter.
I’ve a ‘script to collect for my mouth abscess - it continues to come and go! Painful at times.
Details for Child/dog minding and helping DD2 later in the week must be finalized - always the last to know!
Mick hope you’ve checked that appointment date, but at least you’ll only be a day early.
Hoping our unwell GNs feel a bit better today.
Best wishes to all. X

Good morning Mick and everyone from sunny Carlisle, a one day break before more rain arrives tomorrow apparently.

Good luck with your trip and appointment Mick. I hope you find reassurance if you need it.

Felt 'normal' walking about town yesterday though the bugs are taking their time to completely go. Don't want to aggravate them so taking things carefully atm.
Today I'll put a final load of laundry on for this week then spruce up the ensuite and, just maybe, do a bit of dusting. I'm generally oblivious to dust until the sun shines on it and makes me feel guilty! For a short while...

Have a good day every one.
