Good Morning Monday 4th September 2023

A very sad anniversary for you today grandMattie. Your son Philip indeed left this world too soon. I hope your dear grandson is coping in his grief. 💐

I’m sorry about that, Oops, they haven’t but I don’t think the asbestos is very serious. Was added to the cement and, basically, they’re supervising any drilling into the floor cement, as far as I know! But..l

Good morning from a glorious South Downs.

Set hot today, so I need to clear away the detritus from yesterdays jollification, polish the dining table, take down the decorations and relax in the sun!! - well actually the shade.
I love the light this time of year, the colour in the garden is being added to by the asters - so purple and lilacs and is probably at its most colourful as the roses are in their second flush, but the Delphs haven’t flowered twice this year.

gm a sad day. Losing a child is the worse I think.
llf get well soon.

Peace and harmony to all

Good morning all from another bright day in Harrogate today.
Another here who has lots of happy memories of Wales, both parents were from around the Llandudno area, where we still visit regularly.
GrandMattie you’ve had so much change in your life in the past two years, more than most.
Today my chat with my school friend we put Scotland to rights. Then after lunch a much needed visit to a podiatrist who will make my feet more comfortable for our trip to Scarborough later this week.
Have the best day possible folks

A quick Good morning from a lovey warm N. Bucks.
Off to DD3s in an hour to watch DGS2 while DD takes the little one for his introductory hour at misery where he will now be each Tuesday and Thursday morning ,
A few jobs t to do later and then I shall enjoy the promised sunshine.
Kind thoughts to all.

Good morning from a sunny Black Country. Typical now DD is back at school, and the children go back tomorrow!

Such a lovely warm day yesterday, we BBQ'd Sea Bream, and were sat outside again until 10pm again. We had orginally booked to go to Weymouth in the caravan this week, but for various reasons postponed it until July next year. Who would have thought the weather would be so good this week!

Eldest (19) DGD started University in April for a Nursing Degree. Today she starts her first placement in a Hospital. An exciting but probably nerve wracking day for her.

Monday morning health walk today.

gM thinking of you today

llfl hope you feel better soon.
Welcome Nannatoone 👋 my younger grandson starts reception this week as well.

Good morning from a sweltering Cornwall, aaaaargh.

gM, I remember that day very well. Thinking of you.

Today I'm off to Asda to buy pillows for their inside stuffing plus the outer fabric to make small cartoon cuddle pillows for our next allotment fundraiser. Then home to hide inside and sew.

Yesterday my rockpool-obsessed son and grandson found a semi-suburban beach where discoveries were a tad smaller than the coastal rockpools. See pic.

GM sorry but no disturbed Asbestos is ok.
It has to be surveyed by an expert, removed by experts.
If the property sellers know of Asbestos in the property they have to inform the potential buyer, I notice that you thought that was why they dragged their feet in giving you permission? If they knew about it and didn’t tell you ( or the other homeowners on your site) then they could be in big trouble. Of course if there is Asbstos in your property I imagine that they will have to tell the other owners about it? Unlikely that it is just in one floor.
Sorry, but they need to treat it and you safely.

Morning from a bright S Hants.
Welcome Nanatoone.
gMattie a poignant day for you.
Hope you feel better as the day goes on llfl.
Back on the voluntary phone today, I’ll get a walk in early before the heat, quiz tonight.
Enjoy your day 🦩🦩

Oops we had it in the ceilings in my school. It was a major job to remove it safely. Parts of the school were closed off and much of the work done in the holidays.
I am so sorry to hear about your parents. 💐A friend's doctor, a hospital consultant died from it, after being exposed to it in the hospital she worked.

GM, I'm sure the management team will take all precautions.

A late good morning from a warm and sunny Sarthe but, in my defence, I have already been to Le Mans and back! We left here at 6.00 BST so DH could check in for his thyroid operation, scheduled for mid morning.

It feels odd to be here alone although I’ve experienced it before and we had horses to care for then. Life is easier these days, thankfully, with just cats to feed. Unless something serious emerges, he should be home tomorrow.

Thinking of the sadness of today for grandMattie; you’ve been through a lot in the last two years.

Today is back to school/work day here; good luck to all returning pupils and teachers - I hope you have a building fit to use!

Good point Oopsadaisy both that the vendors should have informed GM as purchaser, and that the management company must bear some liability for what sounds like exceedingly dodgy dealing.
But finally that if it is in one flat, the chances are that it is others or communal areas and many more residents may be affected.
Time to bring out some big guns - don’t you have a tame legal friend or solicitor eg among D’s congregation, @GM ?

So sorry to have derailed a gentle thread this morning folks.
Sometimes it’s difficult to sit on my hands.

Good morning from Staffordshire where a sunny day is forecast.

We were up at 4.45 today to drive over here to look after DGS1 who has a PD day.I drove here so DH will drive home, I will probably sleeep!

We are just a couple of miles away from the Orthopaedic hospital at Gobowen monk so if you want any local information let me know.

Thinking of you and your grandson grandMattie💐

Hope all goes well for olddudders today Ash, thinking of you both🙏🏻

Have the best day you can everyone🌺🦩

Oops, it probably has brought back sad memories, I too apologise.
We need to support our friends on this thread, hence the digression.

GM I have PM’d you.

Ash hope all goes well for olddudders today and he is back with you soon.
Susan56 thanks for that when he finally gets a bed there we will take his wife to visit as she doesn't drive.

You are all so wonderfully kind and thoughtful. Thank you.

I’ll think about bringing in my solicitor re. Asbestos. She is still fiddling about with my lease extension.

I’ve just seen this locally to bring some cheer, very kind of someone.

Good morning Mick and everyone from sunny Carlisle.
I got the lawn mowed yesterday and had to get the watering can out. Won't be long before I'm moaning about the lack of rain!
Today I'll be busy at various little necessary jobs having got the laundry out of the way yesterday.

grandMattie it doesn't seem like 2 years since you lost your Philip, it's a very sad day for you indeed. You don't need this asbestos problem aggravating you. Wise to have words with the solicitor I think. I suppose you have no idea when the work will start?

Best wishes to Olddudders .

And wishing you all a good day.

Good morning from sunny Sefton where we’ve had to change to a lower tog duvet to cope with the heat.
Our bountiful crop of tomatoes has almost come to an end, I’m happily planting cyclamen and allium bulbs and…finally… the grass seed is germinating.
A swim and visit to the greengrocer form my plans. Whatever you intend to do, have the best Monday.

Good morning Mick and all from Sunnyside northwest coast.
My pianist friend is still here and we will have another practice this morning. The accompaniment is not quite right, his detached retina/cataract have affected him, so fingers crossed it will be ok on the day.
We had a nice meal in town last night, chicken escalopes at a restaurant new to me and will return to.

Thinking of you on this sad day grandMattie and thoughts to all with worries 🌹

grandMattie a sad day for you. 💐

Good morning from a sunny Co Armagh
I’m back from holiday with a rotten cold , feel so poorly I did a Covid test , but it was -ve
