Good Morning Wednesday 26th July 2023

Good morning everyone from sunny Lancashire. Good that your appointment went well Mick, hope the chemotherapy does the trick.

Yesterday was spent attempting to sort out the huge heap of cables, dongles and ancient tech I have accumulated over the course of my working life. It all needs to go to the recycling centre. No real plans for today, a pottering kind of day. The weather is beautiful.

Hoping all goes smoothly tomorrow Cornergran.

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

Have a good day all 🌻

Good morning one ans all. Trying to type as I cycle!
Welcome Paloma, from another NEasterner.
Georgesgran, I hate the Western Bypass. Our DD1 lives north of Newcastle and we haven’t driven there in 5 years
🤞 for Mr Cornergran, thoughts for all with problems.

Morning from Giffnock, children off to summer camp, they go four days a week for two weeks and absolutely love it. Thank goodness it’s available, my extended childminding days are definitely over. It was wonderful to see them though, DGS’s swimming is much improved evidently after two weeks of daily pool dips.

Exercise class and coffee catch up later.

Glad you know what the plan is now Mick, I hope you get back to your frequent bus journeys soon, you must be really missing seeing your friends.

Will be thinking specially about the Corners as well as our much missed Urms and Kalu, you too Baggs

Good morning from West York's sunny at the moment bedding blowing nicely.
Hope all goes well for tomorrow Corner
Susan56 hope inn works I've had success with shoulder one but no joy with hip unfortunately.
Welcome Coco 12 nice to see another York's gran
Welcome Palomablanca.

Fingers also crossed here for MrCorner

Hope the chemo tablets go down well, Mick

Good morning Mick and all who follow. Today is one of those beautiful days of sunshine, blue skies and a cool breeze -- that I associate with early September--. Already the washing is done and put and mowing of the second front lawn complete and I am sitting by the pond with a banana and a bottle of water, having just fed the fish (see photo). There are things to be done indoors, but who cares! Later.
Mick, so glad everything went well yesterday and you are looking forward more positively. Enjoy that first trip on the bus - but not before your body is ready!
🤞🙏 for Mr C tomorrow, Cornergran.
Grannygravy you've done it now! However much I congratulate you on becoming an OAP, you have made me feel terribly, terribly old! I've been sitting trying to remember becoming one myself, but I genuinely can't it's so long ago Oh dear! Anyway, enjoy your hard-earned spoils.
Foxygloves all of us who are widowed can sympathise with how you feel. It's 29 years in September since I joined the ranks but even now, sometimes, I just yearn for his hugs. So hugs for you too. I know St Andrews well - was at school there for a few years and then taught there until we married and moved away. At the time of your wedding we were living in Cornwall with our two baby boys.
Jax it's a shame you can't find tai chi near you - it seems to be in 'pockets' round the country. If you Google 'tai chi on the beach' you might find a film taken of us a few weeks ago. Not at our best though - shifting sands beneath our feet don't make for elegant balance!
Welcome to our newbies, Coco and Paloma - I hope you pop in often.
Hope everyone enjoys their day - surely a better one than yesterday Marydoll, and enjoy St Andrews, multi.

I recall a few in previous years who were probably teenagers trying to shock grannies. And a couple of unpleasant people who wanted to disrupt the gentle flow.

I remember those Grandmabatty. Fortunately they don’t last long.

Not the first, probably the third!
That is a shocker!

No, there was one recently, [last month?] attacking me for calling the residents in the complex "inmates"...
I have to say that many contributors were incredibly supportive of me! Thank you again
