Good Morning Wednesday 20th September 2023

Good morning from a grey W Kent. A day indoors I think catching up on emails and washing
Happy birthday Nannyjan have a great holiday.
Marydoll I hope you are able to enjoy your break and your DS is soon better
Thinking of Urms
Best wishes to all

Good morning everyone from a grey and overcast Northampton; much rain forecast for later today. Was up really early as expecting the engineer to come and service the gas boiler at some time this morning. Door bell rang at 7.45 and he is busy at work now, with the boiler in bits!

Managed the health walk - nearly 3 miles - yesterday without rain, thank goodness, but it was very windy, as it is today. I am thankful my fences have been fixed.

Main meal at lunchtime today, as it is wine club tonight. It is the other side of town, so DS-in-law will pick me up on his way home from work to go to theirs. Then he will give DD and me a lift to and from the venue in the evening. I'll be staying at DD's overnight.

Thinking of Urms and her DH, and hoping that the scan results are what they want. Went through all that with my DH,

Wishing all a good day - must go and stop the cats supervising the gas man!

Horrible forecast - gusty winds and heavy rain - but I have to be out and about, including singing this afternoon. Autumn is with us with a vengeance.

Thoughts today with Ash, Marydoll and Urms and anyone else for whom life is tough at present.

Good morning from Durham where it’s wet and wild. Huge gales overnight, but I haven’t been outside yet, to see if there’s any damage. I’m pleased I had my garden fence strengthened earlier in the year.
I’m meeting a friend for coffee this afternoon, but I’ve DD2’s laundry to tackle this morning and her Little Dog to take out tonight.
Always thinking of Urms. DH’s Consultant often rang him at night to discuss ‘things’.
Birthday Greetings to anyone celebrating today.
Best wishes to all. X

Good Morning from a very gloomy Severnside.

Happy 70th Birthday NannyJan 🎉🎉🍸🎂enjoy your holiday.

I think I’ll clean the inside of some of the windows today and then potter around doing odd jobs.

It’s a wellies and hoods up day if you’re out and about ☔️

Good morning from the Essex coast where it has started to rain.
DH is going to London today to meet up with an old work colleague. I will visit the charity shop and then do a small supermarket shop. Ironing awaits first.
A very Happy Birthday to Nannyjan, enjoy your holiday. As I've said before 1953 was a good year.
Thinking of Urms and her DH and anyone else going through rough times.
Have a good Wednesday everyone xx

Good morning all from a verywet Glasgow, where its 16°C. We had non stop rain yesterday.

Birthday greetings yo Nannyjan!🎂🎁🎈 Scicily was on my bucket list 💚, have a great time.

Ash, please see about your hip, people with cardiovascular problems are advised not to take ibruprofen.

We are off with DD and SIL to Troon for an overnight. (We have vouchers to use,) I thought I might not get, because I spent much of yesterday in bed, my chest is so congested and this permanent cough is driving me mad! The plan is to wear a sign saying, I do not have Covid. People keep giving dirty looks! I may have to contact my GP, if it doesn't improve, it's all to do with my heart. However, I may just have to put up with it!

DS1 was down last night to watch the football and was quite worried. I usually cover up how unwell I am, so they rarely see me struggling. I don't want them worrying, but there is nothing to be done anyway.
However DS revealed he had been for a chest xray and was on steroids and antibiotics, so now I am worried!

Wishing you all a pleasant day. I'm off to look out my waders etc,, it looks as if I may need them. Prayers for all who are struggling, especially The Urms.

Good morning from dark and dismal s somerset, windy, rainy

I need to read backwards later, off in five minutes for footcare appointment. I am thinking of stopping that as I can reach my feet and have a sanding device, oil etc and the bills arrive after christmas

I have started hibernating hedgehog mode, my natural way of being but won`t be fully into that until the garden has been put to bed and the apples picked

Have a good day

Good morning from a still grey Suffolk. I don’t know what the forecast is but yesterday was very windy. A large branch fell into the pond from one of the trees surrounding it but no damage done.

Someone told me that the library in our nearest town has someone from the council there every Tuesday to help with IT issues. I popped in to check if he might be able to help me fill in the online application for a tourist visa for India and we agreed he would be able to do so in the afternoon.

Even with his knowledge and competence it took over 1.5 hours to do it,including uploading photos. Now submitted I wait with bated breath to see if it is approved!

Off to my keep fit shortly and then I’ll take the day as it comes. DH has just reminded me it is little dog’s 8th birthday today but don’t think she will have anything like the celebrations of GNs shared here recently.

Happy birthday Nannyjan 🌺🪷

Urms, not a day passes without you all in my heart. I just don’t say it all the time. Many blessings and “courage mon brave”! ❤️

grannygravy, for his 60th birthday, I gave my husband a tractor load of horse manure for his garden. He was thrilled!
Think laterally…

Morning all from a damp West Oxfordshire. My gardener said she would come today to prune the roses! I think she might be washed away. I don’t think our cleaner is coming. She is suffering from ill health. We have our monthly U3A lunch today. Should be fun. Later on OH will collect his new specs from Specsavers and I have a small order to pick up from Waitrose. WI this evening. We are having a demo of Irish dancing. The competition is ‘something Irish’ so I have bought a bottle of Guinness, having first checked it was brewed and bottled in Dublin. Have a good day everyone. Don’t forget, it’s still officially summer!.

Oh and a very happy birthday to Nannyjan.

Good morning from very wet South Lanarkshire.

My friend and I had a lovely catch up yesterday and I met her baby DGS for the first time, lots of gorgeous cuddles.

Working today, counting down the days until I finish at the end of this month.

Thinking of all those with worries and troubles, especially Urms just now.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Happy birthday NannyJan.Enjoy your holiday.

Good morning from Shropshire where it is raining.I am another wet weather fan.

Yesterday DD1 and I had our first Welsh lesson🤯We are learning in North Wales, DH is from West Wales so wasn’t liking our pronunciation🤦🏼‍♀️

Today I am going into town to get a certificate printed and framed for my mum.I had my late dad’s name added to a lifeboat via the RNLI’s launch a memory scheme and received the certificate yesterday.It will make a nice extra gift for mum’s birthday.

Ash I’m thinking you should have an X-ray of your hip.

grandMattie what a lovely surprise visit.

Good morning Michael and all GNs from a grey, gloomy South Yorkshire. We are in for a wet windy day. It blew all my pots of tomatoes over yesterday but they are coming to a finish now so I may just cut them down and have done with it. I had a chat on the phone with my best friend last night, who has a frozen shoulder and a problem with her hip. She’s on copious quantities of pain killers and finding it difficult to get about.
Writers group at the library this afternoon - it’s poetry week. If it’s very wet I don’t know what sort of turnout there will be.
Happy birthday NannyJan🎂🎁 and a happy holiday.
Have a good day folks.

Good morning it’s blustery here but dry so far.
Happy BirthdayNannyjan have a lovely day and holiday
Off to collect MrOops car from the garage this morning and that’s it, I’m feeling a bit out of sorts and keep falling asleep! Not sure what that’s all about but it doesn’t seem to be my Asthma as stats are ok.
Anyway hope all have a good day, travellers have a traffic free time and all those who are poorly have good test results.
Stay dry.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s grey and looking like rain
A very Happy Birthday NannyJan enjoy your very special day and then your holiday 💐🎂🥂
Hoping your hip eases a bit Ash take care
A busy day ahead, I’m going to the gym this morning, apparently it’s National Fitness day today and they’ve got a load of ‘challenges’ lined up for us - not looking forward to that!!
Later we’re picking up DGD from school and bringing her back here for a sleepover, her request again so that’s lovely.
Hope you get the car insurance sorted corner it’s definitely a hassle you could do without
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning from Sefton. Wet & windy here. I will join you Mizuna & RandL. I will be in my little "summer house" with the doors open & a blanket & a book ... providing the rain stays vertical & doesn't become horizontal! I used to love being in our caravan listening to the wind & the rain. The sound would send me to sleep. Is that a bit weird?
Thoughts & ((hugs)) for those of you struggling with life.

Good morning to you all.

I’m fighting off a cold, the first since last Christmas. Caught from DGD3 and DGS2 who are both coughing non stop with DD2 even worse than they are but still had them both for childcare this week. Have them overnight on Saturday too. 😵‍💫

On Sunday we drove through the heavy rain in Wiltshire to look at a wedding venue in a very rural part of Berkshire as DD2 and her fiancé have now picked next September to be married. It’s a huge barn on a 2000 acre eco organic farm. The whole vast site looked beautiful despite the appalling weather. It has accommodation for plenty of people too so they have put the deposit down on it. We can provide catering and drinks ourselves as no tie-in.

I’m delighted to hear Gingster’s young GD is on the mend. Happy belated Birthday greetings to Grandmabatty I wish I had even a fraction of your energy. Very best wishes to Urmstongran for your DH’s upcoming scan. Grandmattie you seem to be as busy as ever atm. Hope all poorlies are soon feeling better.

Weather is truly awful here today so very grateful for the hot spell at the beginning of the month. Have the best day you can all.

Just seen the messages about urms DH. Hopefully the scans gave good news. The effect of chemo seems to last for ages, so 🤞.

Good morning all from a wet Black country.
Firstly Happy birthday NannyJan 🎂🍷🎁🎉 you've caught me up, enjoy your day and safe travels for tomorrow.
GM what a lovely surprise.
Mizuna your dream made me laugh better than mine it was nightmare I dreamt I was back at work learning a new computer system ☹.
Looks like the duster will get an airing today.
Enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️

Safe journey and Happy 70th Namnyjan 🎂🥂🎉
