Happy birthdayOops 🎁🎂🎈

Foxy I too had plantar fasciitis pre COVID and tried everything. In the end I went to a really good sports shoe shop and explained. I bought a pair of expensive (£150) trainers - and haven't looked back. That was at the end of 2019 and I have worn them practically every day and they're still going strong. No more plantar fasciitis either, so well worth the money.

Blimey multicolourswapshop your photos should come with a warning 😳

Very happy birthday Oops - have a really naughty time with all the nibbles!

PF - plantar fasciitis not RF - Royal Family

Good morning from sunny Foxyland. It was cooler when the Foxyhound and I were out earlier but it’s sunny again now.
I have my first shockwave therapy session today (I hope)
I am looking forward to seeing a light at the end of the tunnel, my RF was particularly bad this weekend.
Other than that, my new John Rebus book is calling to me. I just wonder how much longer Ian Rankin can keep him going defying his unhealthy lifestyle/ weight/heart/Bp not to mention all the enemies he has made around Edinburgh!
Kind thought to all with their own mountains to climb and a pleasant day to you all. 😎

Happy Birthday Oops 🎉🎂🎈

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning Mick and all from Cloudy Chambers northwest coast.
After the football yesterday, I went into the dunes at the bottom of the road for a good walk. As the sea is retreating so much, the dunes are now more like gardens. Carpets of harebells, Michaelmas, daisies, rose hips and lots of plants I frustratingly don't know the names of (original city girl), really beautiful.
Tonight I sing in a concert in memory of the founder of the music club who died not long ago but requested no funeral, so will have a warm up warble as usual and dress up.

Hope your bp stabilises gm, thoughts to all with worries and will read through properly later.🌹

Good morning to all. I’m having my mid morning coffe break.

Happy Birthday to you Oops enjoy your cake 🎂🎉🍸

Good morning Mick and all from cloudy Lancashire.

Yesterday MrB and I went for a drive up to Fleetwood to get some fresh air and look at the sea. Today I need to get some laundry done and hopefully a walk.

I do indeed monitor my BP daily Marydoll and log it weekly on the MyGP app. Fortunately it has remained stable for quite some time. I hope yours is nothing sinister Grandmattie, as you say being anxious doesn’t help.

What a lovely pic of Babydoll and MrMDoll ❤️

Beautiful plants Taichinan.

As always thinking of Baggs, Kalu and Urms and all dealing with troubles.

Have a good day all whatever you’re doihg🌻

Morning all. Made it to Orkney after a calm crossing over the Pentland Firth. Looks like a nice day so must get moving so many places I love to visit difficult to know where first. Weather for the rest of the week doesn’t seem so good but it won’t keep us in. Hopefully photos of the Old Man of Hoy and approaching Stromness attach!

Rosesandlilac look at Mary Berry marinated mango pork medallions. Really easy and scrummy.

Going to my first U3a meeting today.

Good morning from a sunny Oxfordshire, I did the housework yesterday so I could have a restful birthday day.
MissOops coming over later loaded with nibbles and a cake.
Have a good day everyone. I’ll go back and read your posts after coffee as I’m a bit behind even though I have nothing to do!

Good morning a bright West York's,washer on with bedding so hope it stays . Oh just set off it's NOT day at dr,s then he is metting up with friend for his walk ,I have morning of housework to catch up on. Multi your sound looks very clean and dry . Safe journeys for those in the move.

Good morning from S Lanarkshire, it’s been wet but sun is appearing. Book Club this morning which I think I am leading again. I am going to propose we should go back to individuals taking turns to choose books because we have some intransigent members who don’t seem to get the idea of reading books from a genre they don’t really like and I sense a rebellion brewing!

Back to my Monday post school childminding and overnight stay, I’m looking forward to it. Like you Grandmabatty I used to do the whole thing for several days a week but am well past that now, you do very well.

What a lovely baby Marydoll and a very happy looking grampa!

Wishing everyone the best day possible.

Good morning from a cloudy W Kent. A much needed visit from the cleaner this morning and I must sit and work out how to get spare parts for my hearing aid from the NHS, should be a fun morning. DD2 and family are now away for a week but we shall be seeing a bit of DGD1 whilst her mum has her operation. I am not looking forward to Thursday when the GCSE results are out. Two GD's involved this year. So another different week to get on with.
gM I had my blood pressure taken for the first time in six years at the GPs and yes it was up, the GP had to pop out the room and told me to relax and then press the button again, I took some deep breaths and had another go, it had gone up!! isn't that white coat syndrome or something. Please don't worry, glad the GP is on the ball.
Lovely picture Marydoll
Safe travels Lltf
Best wishes to all

More washing in the machine (it looks like a good drying day) and am awaiting the arrival of the chiropodist whose attentions are not enjoyable but ever more necessary. No other plans but should get into the garden to tidy up and deadhead the new roses which are doing well, and if warm enough will take my book outside for a bit. Hope today is good enough for us all.

Good morning Mick and everyone from grey Carlisle where it's threatening to be showery.

I had a broken nights's sleep and some odd dreams when I did sleep so not feeling so sharp this morning. Nevertheless, I shall start the usual Monday round of housework and laundry. I like to get it out of the way early in the week.
I continued with the book clearing yesterday, I aim to have an empty bookcase by the end of the week. That's not as good as it sounds, it's only a small bookcase.

I approve that Star Wars vest Marydoll! She'll be playing football next...Girls have moved on I'm glad to see.
I was my mother's first and I expect she was looking forward to doing the pretty dresses thing. I must have been a sad disappointment there as I'd be out getting mucky at the earliest opportunity being of the tomboy tendency.

You're in lovely Lewis brook....I remember it well as DH and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary by cycling up the islands from Castlebay to Stornaway. Well, almost to Stornaway because on the previous night's stop we were told it was a long steep hill to climb to get there, so we loaded our bikes into the bus luggage compartment and cheated! Were we glad when we passed other cyclists struggling up.

Have a good day everyone and wishing us all a bit of sun.

Thank you Taichinan😊

Good morning from a sunny Yorkshire.
After lunch yesterday we had a walk and treated ourselves to some Ripley ice cream, I had a look in a boutique and bought a jumper also looked in an art shop but did not buy a painting.
Today we are going to Betty's for afternoon tea and a browse round the shops in Harrogate.
Have a good day.
