Good morning all from a sunny, over hot, W Kent. Off to art group which restarts this morning so in a bit of a rush. Awake half the night as the Statins I was prescribed last week have had the most horrendous affect on my tinnitus and hearing. I now read this is a recognised side affect, what is the Dr trying to do?
After art I think it will be feet up.
Take care everyone.

Good morning, it’s pretty warm again this morning and despite my wants and needs I overslept this morning and didn’t get to do the ironing before it got too hot, oh well, compared to a lot of homes our bungalow is quite cool inside.

Off to the coast tomorrow to a Saturday wedding and then on to north Devon for the week, no wifi ( what was MrOops thinking when he booked the house?) so no posting for me.
I expect the weather will break but the house is 100 yards from the beach so no complaints from me. MzOops and Grandson will join us mid week for a couple of days and then he is off to University, after his Interrailing trip around Europe he is a different lad, so much more confident.
So ironing, cleaning and packing today and that’s it, MissOops will be moving in tomorrow morning before we go as it’s cooler here for the dog and she needs a break from Nephew. She will pop home every couple of days and resupply him with meals and check he is ok.

Mick have you told your team at the JR about your problems since your op? Your GP won’t help if you are still under the hospital. Maybe your symptoms are normal? But you really need to be checked over.

Happy anniversary to the Urms

Have a good day everyone, stay cool, drink plenty of water and enjoy because it will probably be Autumn next week.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a slightly misty South Yorkshire. Mick do get in touch with your doctor, please.
I got the hose out to water the top garden last night - something I hate having to do when I have a butt almost full of free water, but hauling watering cans up the steps is having a detrimental effect on my hip, so something has to give.
I’ve been sleeping badly since I came back from holiday, so I tried the spare bed - and still slept badly! I made three bottles of elderberry cordial yesterday evening. The kitchen looked like a massacre had taken place, but it smelled like Christmas with all the cloves, cinnamon and ginger. I’ll be glad to have it to hand through the winter. It’s a pick me up, and good for colds and coughs.
Off out with the walking group this morning and will call in on DD before going home.
Have the best day you can, folks.

Good morning from a damp Shropshire. Not too hot at the moment but sunshine forecast for later.

Off to see the cardiologist this afternoon for the results of the two week heart monitor. Just hope it’s shown a reason for the iregular heart beats and it’s fixable.

Sending love to Urms and her DH,enjoy your quiet day together.

Hope everyone has a nice day.

Good morning all from bright and sunny South Lanarkshire.

I struggled a bit yesterday at work which convinced me that my decision to leave was the right thing to do. One of our volunteers is interested in applying for my job so I was giving her a few pointers, she’s a hard worker and I’m sure she would do well. There’s been a fair amount of interest already.

DS’s house move almost didn’t happen due to a last minute hitch with their buyer’s buyer. Thankfully it was resolved and they got their keys at 4.30pm which resulted in having to pay several hours overtime to the removal company. I’m just so pleased that they are finally in the house.

Today will be laundry and putting away most of the summer clothes, I doubt we’ll get more than a few days of warm weather now.

Wishing everyone the best day possible especially those struggling just now.

Best wishes to you Urms and your Dear Husband. 💐

Likewise Urmstongran !
It blew a hooley the morning of our wedding in St Andrew’s 53 years ago in July, but your elderly (probably younger than many of us!) aunt was right
Enjoy the gift of the wonderful life you have with your soulmate and Happy Anniversary to you both 🥂🍾💕

Best wishes for your Anniversary Urms 🥂🍾💐

Good morning everybody from south Manchester where it’s raining. Quite humid though. I slept poorly last night and feel like a space cadet this morning.

It chucked it down with rain 49 years ago today when we got married. No lovely outdoor photos it was torrential! When I bemoaned the fact to an elderly aunt she said “happy is the bride the rain falls on”. She was right on that score.

We have no plans but it’s nice still to be here together. I’ll take that.
💙

Here’s Matt.

Good morning from Sefton where temperatures in the high twenties are forecast. Thankfully tomorrow should be cooler.
We too have a second hand car dealer, currently moved on by teams of work men. His permanent moonlight flit would be most welcome. If you discover the impetus, please post harrigran.
I echo the advice of others, Mick, and hope that you and others soon feel better.

Good morning all from a sunny Glasgow, where it is 13°C.

I have lost my post, which is probably just as well, life is proving to be very problematic at the moment and unlike me, I'm doing a bit of wallowing.
Auntieflo, I hope you have a day of feeling reasonably well.

Safe journey Sago, I have thoroughly enjoyed your travelogue. It has brought back so nany happy memories.

Have a good day folks.

Jacs7 Thu 07-Sept-23 08:18:04

Good morning everyone from north Wales where our holiday enters its last two days.

We have had a great time with visits to castles, houses, gardens and wonderful seaside towns and beaches. The weather has been hot and sunny, but there has been a cooling breeze the last couple of days which has taken the worst of the heat away.

We are off to Bangor today to look around Penrhyn Castle and Bangor cathedral with stops for coffee and refreshments throughout the day.

Hope you all have a good day.

Good morning from the Essex coast where there is hazy sunshine at the moment. It is forecast to be hot again later.
Food shopping shortly then I will probably go and sit by the sea with my book this afternoon.
GM you have my sympathy. We are a small block of flats that used to be run by a very unhelpful, money grabbing management company. Five years ago we decided to run it ourselves and my goodness what a difference. I know that this is not always possible but I have very little faith in any management company these days.
I hope you all have a pleasant day in the last few days of this Indian summer xxx

Another miserably hot night and I look forward to the end of this heatwave as I struggle to cope well. Q and A session with the Bishop this morning which I hope will be worthwhile but nothing else planned other than trying to keep the house reasonably cool. Won’t be long before I am complaining about the cold and wet, though.

Georgesgran Thu 07-Sept-23 08:08:49

Good morning from Durham where, apparently, there may be a light shower at 9 AM. It took to late morning yesterday before we saw the sun, so possibly the same today. My friend has changed our coffee venue this morning but it’s not a problem, then I must go and see what I can get DGS1 for his birthday next weekend. Garden potter later, followed by a dog walk just before dark.
It must be worth a call to your team Mick because you don’t want to go into the weekend so unsettled?
Best wishes to all. X

Good morning .

Off to my stretch class in just over an hour and then meeting a friend for coffee and lunch. Luckily we have planned to meet at the coast for a gentle walk along the prom with lunch at an hotel with a terrace overlooking the sea.

Our coastal strip is enjoying glorious sunny weather but several degrees lower than most of the rest of the country….so 23 or so is fine for being outside with hat and sunscreen on.

Thinking as always about those dealing with ill health or worries in their own lives or those of loved ones.

Good morning. Looks like another lovely sunny day to enjoy.
I have a nail appointment this morning and this afternoon is first time back at sewing club.
Baby sitting this evening.
Wishing all a good day.
