Good Morning Sunday 10th September 2023

Good afternoon Mick, Annie and all.
Marydoll, there you are! Great to see you posting, and even a Novella can be written in chapters, with a little break in between. 🤗. Make sure you keep an eye on that tick bite. How very dare he.
Anyway, I'm late again. Church this morning, and I daren't start on my iPad early, as then we would be very late and no parking spaces to be had.
Coffee in Waitrose was lovely with air con, so when we got outside, it was so humid again.
We have been hunkered down inside the house for several days, only doing the bare minimum, but I did get to defrost both freezers yesterday. 1 is now completely empty, awaiting a shop soon to re- fill it.
The car is going for a service and MOT tomorrow, so I have emptied all the seemingly necessary its and bobs that accumulate, and will try and discard most if them.
Cornergran, nice to see that Mr C is making progress, even if slowly. Well done, and good luck with the roast.
Foxy, do you find your Dyson is good? I think ours, upstairs, is not nearly as efficient as the Netta tower fan downstairs.
Best of luck to Greyduster's DD and also Cornergran's ex DIL, in their running today.
To Urms, Kalu and Alygran
Welcome to Romolo.
Have a good day one and all.

Good to see you marydoll but, please don’t overdo things.

Welcome romolo. You’ll soon settle in.

Alygran, be good to yourself today .

🤞 for all running today.

We’re waiting to hear how our ex daughter in law got on yesterday, a 26 mile charity walk in the Wye Valley. Not the easiest terrain. Hope she didn’t melt.

Take care Marydoll lots of people care about you.

Good morning Mick and all from a dull northwest coast.
A nice party yesterday a bit further down the coast with DS, GF and friends in their cottage which is literally in the sand dunes and only accessible along a long bumpy trail. I’m not a dog person, never had one, but their ancient husky cross breed took a big liking to me and I rather fell in love with him.

Today I had a text message for appointment at nearby hospital but not sure what for? It’s the day after I arrive home from Salzburg (tired I’m sure) and can’t contact them until tomorrow. I leave for Salzburg on Tuesday so today will sort the house out and get some outfits together. I love trips, but hate the palaver.

Air show here today, I usually go into ‘my’ sand dune at the bottom of the road to watch, but instead will get on with things here. The racket will be ear splitting.

Welcome Romolo, I hope things continue to settle down Mick and thoughts to all with worries 🌹

Morning everyone from somewhere on the M4 as we travel back from my sister’s in Herefordshire home to north Kent.

Thank you for the birthday wishes on Friday. I had a lovely day with a visit to a beautiful garden and lunch out. DH cooked a delicious dinner so felt very lucky.

Yesterday we travelled from North Wales to Herefordshire and spent the day with my DS and BiL. My nephew and niece came over to see us which was lovely as we hadn’t seen them for sometime. It was great to catch up with them all.

Hope you all have a good day or what’s left of it as I am late posting

Alygran 💐 thinking of you.
Welcome Romolo 👋 where do you hail from?

Good morning Mick and all from cloudy Lancashire where it is currently 22°C and feeling hotter. Rain and lightning forecast.

Yesterday was hot and sunny all day so was able to get all the laundry done and line dried. No real plans for today, a quiet day indoors for us,

Glad you enjoyed the party Foxygloves, I wouldn’t fancy those motorways especially in this heat.

Kudos to your DD and friend Greyduster, a tough challenge in any weather. I hope the event has plenty of water stations and support along the way.

I will look up those walking tours of Rome Marydoll, I loved meandering around despite my mobility problems and climbing all those steps. I would not manage it now!

You may need to get your foot x-rayed if it doesn’t get any better Grandmabatty.

Welcome to the thread Romola

Thinking of all going through sad times today

Have a good day all whatever you’re doing 🌹

Good morning from sunny Eden. Yesterday's face time with GD was lovely she really was enjoying her birthday and the present we got her.
Neighbour from next door came around and we sat in the sun porch.
A quiet night after a supper of this years grouse. DH engrossed in the Rugby
Good luck to all those with relatives in the Great North run.
Watch the tick bite, DH had a terrible reaction when parts of one were not fully extracted he was bothered for months.
A happy relaxing day to all.

We had a storm last night plenty of lightening so cooler this morning . Good to see you back posting Marydoll welcome Romolo .Sending ((hugs)) to Alygran. A takeaway for us today.

Crossed posts - glad to see you back Marydoll, and welcome to Mick's lovely thread Romolo.

Good morning from the sunny East Yorkshire countryside.

It’s a bit fresher this morning. The air is cleared after a terrific thunderstorm here last night about 8pm. We had been to Bridlington late afternoon for fish and chips. Big mistake it was still heaving. Anyway we arrived back about 7.30 and DH was sat outside reading and saw flashes of lightening over to the East. It lasted for quite a while and we had to come in and close all the doors. It moved over to the coast and soon after I saw dramatic mpictures of it were on a fb page.

No plans today no visitors an easy day and easy meals.

Glad you enjoyed BP Gingster I’m going next week. Been before but it’s still an amazing sight to see.

All the best to your daughter for the great north run Alygran a poignant day for it💐

Good morning Mick and all from a sunny Angus coast, where it feels slightly cooler today - a max of 20° and rain forecast for this evening. Better get some more of those plums in - never known so many - and start cooking!
Alygran . A hard time, and still raw. Good luck to your DD on her run.
Whitewave a very sobering conversation with your son, and it does leave one feeling hopeless - and helpless. Our local town is at sea level and the dunes which protect it are disappearing rapidly. But what can anyone do now?
Anyway, not the subject for a beautiful September morning. All we have is now, so let's enjoy it.
Sending loving thoughts to all poorlies, including the silent Marydoll, and may you all find some happiness today - and a little bit of thunder to clear the air x

Alygran 💐 are for you on this sad anniversary. Hold tight to all your happy memories. He’d want you to do that. x

Good morning all from Glasgow. No sunshine but it’s warm and dry.

Good to see you back Marydoll

Aylgran warm wishes to get you through such a poignant day💐

Have the best day you can everyone.

Morning all from a thankfully cooler Co Durham.
Glad to see you Marydoll. Welcome, Romolo 💐 Alygran.

Sago, thanks for the advice. I'm on permanent antibiotics for life and also keep pack of a different one for emergencies.

I wanted to say hello to Alygran. 💐. She was always so supportive of me.

Alygran thinking of you today 💐

Like almost everyone else I am desperate for this hot and humid weather to break as I have no energy and no urge to do anything useful. I did however enjoy the Last Night despite my reservations about the words of certain patriotic songs and am full of admiration for Marin Alsop.

Might make evensong later but nothing else appeals. Sorry that Marydoll feels so rough and agree about the antibiotics. Keep cool, everyone, because we know that the rain will find us soon!

Welcome Romola I need to get some bulbs too.

Morning all it looks like it’s to be raining here today on the east coast of Fife but I don’t care I’m off to Blackpool tomorrow for five days it’s going to be great fun I’m staying at the Bond hotel so if any of you gransnetters are nearby why don’t you drop in.

Have a good day my friends

So glad you’re back, Marydoll. Sorry you’ve been feeling so rotten.
I agree with Sago re. antibiotic. In your circs, it’s better to be safe than sorry.

My first Good Morning post, just wanted to thank you all for the company and to wish Marydoll, Urmstongran and all of you good day.
Went to a fundraising garden party yesterday - lovely but very hot. Nothing planned for today apart from a trip to the garden centre to buy some 💡 no nothing those!

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 16° and cloudy. I have had an awful night's sleep and have woken up with a headache. Alygran 💐. Marydoll good to see you posting.
Yesterday I had a very busy day and achieved much. Today I intend to do little. I'll take my brother his birthday present and then take my son in law his birthday present. The rest of the time, I'll potter about. I dropped a heavy metal table on my foot and it's painful so I won't be walking much. Salmon salad for dinner and I'll roast a chicken for tomorrow. It's easier to cook it today rather than when I have the boys. Have a good day all

Good morning all.

MaryDoll please call your GP and get antibiotics, I had a tic bite and felt unwell, a bullseye appeared which is not a good sign!
A GP prescribed an antibiotic immediately.
I recently met someone whose son got a bite abroad, ignored it and now has Lymes disease!

Had my first lay in for weeks, in bed drinking tea with the grandchildren still fast asleep, we had a fab wedding yesterday although the heat was a bit much!
We were rewarded with a magnificent storm.

Happy Sunday all.

Oh there you are Marydoll 👋
