Good Morning Wednesday 30th August 2023

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 8° and bright. Mick take care. GrandMattie that square is beautiful. I'm sorry to hear that you didn't get satisfaction from the meeting yesterday. Ash I'm sorry to hear that your DH needs tests. They sound quite intrusive too. Safe journey today and tomorrow. Greyduster I hope you enjoy your trip. I often feel like that but enjoy things once I'm there.
Yesterday was busy with the boys. Once I dropped dgs1 off at nursery, dgs2 and I rushed back to his house for a comforter. I had looked in his bag and couldn't find it so we headed back to pick it up. Of course, dd found it in the bag later 🙄. Then we had an hour in the garden making messes or 'helping' grandma water the plants. After that, the man came to measure up my door and gave me the website details. I have chosen a new door already so I just need to phone to find out the (eye watering) prices. He's replacing a panel on the back door too. Then a friend phoned for details of an event we are both going to tomorrow. After the door man left, and dgs2 had gone for a nap, my aunt popped in for a chat. She left and it was time to get dgs2 up and pick his brother up from nursery who had been given a sticker for helping to tidy the nursery. He's being very helpful to all this year's starts too.
Today I have a phone meeting with a lawyer to start the ball rolling with my will and poa. Then this afternoon I'm meeting mum's social worker for the first time. Stir fried chicken tonight. Have a good day all

Good morning from Shropshire.

I had my hair cut and coloured yesterday which was a relief.I wasn’t sure if it would be possible with the cyst but she was happy to do it although agreed it needs removing.

The afternoon was spent sorting out the children’s toys.The baby toys have gone😢some are going to friends of DD, some to the charity shop and a few larger things I put on Facebook to sell.A couple of things went within minutes.

Today will be spent on household jobs and admin😴

Your patchwork is impressive grandMattie.I love that design.I hope your daughter gets somewhere with the management re your bathroom.

Safe travels Ash and best wishes to olddudders for his surgery.Safe travels to Greyduster as well and I hope you enjoy your few days away.

I hope you feel better as the day goes on Mick.

Have the best day you can everyone🌺🦩

Safe travels, Ash.

I had meant to wish you Bon voyage, Ash, and forgot. Poor oldd, I hope all goes well with surgery, etc. 🫂

Good morning Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire where it looks like it might be a clear day. Take it easy today Mick. Light diet and plenty of fluids. I am off “up country” today with DD and the menfolk for a few days R&R on the coast. We aren’t leaving too early which is fine by me. If I’m absolutely honest, I’ve gone off the idea, but I’ll be ok when we get there I hope.
Have the best day you can folks!

Good morning from a dry but cloudy Torbay.

The square for your quilt is stunning, grandMattie! I’m sorry you have frustrations with the management - I think your DD is absolutely right to write to them about their unacceptable behaviour.

I hope you are feeling better soon, Mick as your system settles.

A busy morning as I pack the car and travel to Portsmouth in readiness to catch the ferry to Ouistreham tomorrow. It’s something of a mission of mercy as Ian has investigative surgery on his parathyroid glands next Monday regarding his osteoporosis.

Happy hump day! 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning from an overcast Bristol.
I’m hoping to dry my washing outside today. My bedding was near dry yesterday, when a shower dampened it again!
I made a particularly pretty “maple leaf” square for my quilt.
I stopped taking some tablets (*Marydoll*, they are not lifesaving) and mirabile dictu, the debilitating headaches have stopped. I’m going to collect a prescription later and shall ask to speak to the GP.
The management chap who came for a meeting yesterday, gave me the usual waffle, hogwash and inanities, even using covid as an excuse, for the company’s inefficiency. DD is writing to them to give them a piece of her mind. I hope it works and the bathroom work can start on Monday.
Today, the hospice is collecting some of my surplus furniture. I shall then swap things round and start to empty the “silly cupboard” that I shall eventually remove.
Prayer for this in distress and sorrow, Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩
