Good Morning Tuesday 10th October 2023

Good morning Mick and All.

Another good day in prospect in South Bucks.

A very Happy Anniversary kittylester 🥳🥂. You are a year and 13 days ahead of us 😀 Hope you are celebrating.

Waiting arrival of dgd. Happy Anniversary to the Kittylesters.
Productive day at the retail park. Two tops, leggings and socks for dgd. Georgesgran, maybe we passed by each other.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from a grey Belfast. Yesterday was the warmest October day on record here at 21°. We did an open top bus tour and visited the Titanic museum.
We fly home this evening but will do the City Hall tour this morning.
Love to all 🦩 x

Morning all from West Oxfordshire. Another day curled up on the sofa. I am still full of cold and feel achy. I should have been having a covid jab and flu jab today but they are cancelled until I have recovered from covid. Have a lovely day.

Happy anniversary the kitts.
My neighbour’s friend is nothing to do with this retirement area, is from quite a different group and we have no one in common apart from my neighbour.
What bothers me is that she is very imperious. She uses my friend, as a taxi too, having given her car up, no matter that she can well afford chauffeur driven limos if she wanted…. It’s that sort of thing that bothers me, but, hey, she’s not bad company and I don’t have to see her too often.

Good morning from a dull Suffolk where sun and a temp of 24 degrees is promised for later.

I had the usual lovely time with my friend yesterday….over 4 hours involving coffee,a mooch around and then lunch in the garden of our favourite cafe there. The newly opened art gallery which has an exhibition where one of the ladies from my exercise classes is exhibiting was unfortunately closed but we could see some of the pictures through the large windows.

I have my monthly work day tomorrow so have at least 2 hours reading to do today in preparation. Hopefully I can then spend the afternoon in the garden.

Good morning from Durham. Another warm, but heavy cloud day is forecast - no sun at all. Washing is on the line for hours, but still damp.
Good news in the kitchen last night from Urms isn’t modern medicine wonderful!
My strange neighbours appear to have moved, after 20+ years here, without saying a word. They and their 8 cars won’t be missed, but the mystery is what they do with the house - sell or rent out. It needs work.
DD2 and family are off to Majorca first thing, so today’s job is to take their Little Dog to the groomer, then pick up a ‘script for a friend who has back trouble. She’s had a key cut for me, so she doesn’t have to move! Happy Birthday and anniversary wishes where appropriate, whilst sorry to hear some GNs are under the weather today.
Best wishes to all. X

Belted up and ready for take off

Good morning all from the Angus coast where the sky is beginning to lighten. It's supposed to be a sunshine and showers sort of day. On Saturday the temp didn't rise above 11° but today it's forecast to be 17°! Strange weather indeed.
Sorry you're having such a hard time with your asthma Oops.
Happy Anniversary to the kittylesters, enjoy your day.
Delighted to hear that Urms has good news at last.
Today for me is just the usual Tuesday tai chi class followed by a visit to Nature's Garden and the fish shop. A little trot into Tesco's is also needed, and then after that I'm finished and a good book beckons.
I hope everyone has a good day and the poorlies are less so x

Good morning from an overcast Sefton. Forecast seems to be for no weather today - no, rain, no wind, no sun.
A quiet day today after yesterday's singing session turned out to be a bit chaotic but in a good way. Then I fell asleep on the sofa having forgotten to put the slow cooker on.
Zoom strength class this morning, then a small food shop & possibly a charity shop drop off. I have decorations/lights for a certain time of year that I don't need since downsizing.🎄
Happy Anniversary to the kittylesters. Hoping today is kind to you all.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 14° and dry, although rain is forecast. Happy anniversary to the Lester's. Have a lovely day. It is such good news for Urms and her dear man.
Yesterday I made spiced red cabbage after a visit to Tesco where I also bought stuff for the Christmas cake. Unfortunately I forgot one ingredient (mixed spice) so I'll have to go back today. Aldi don't have a great selection of spices. I'll steep the dried fruit in brandy today and make the cake tomorrow. A friend is phoning this afternoon for a catch up. She's struggling with sciatica so doesn't feel comfortable having a face to face one. Apart from that, I'll potter about. Later I'll visit mum. Have a good day all

Good morning all from a wet Glasgow, where it's 16°C, We have yet another flood alert in place. 😔

Great to hear better news this morning of Mr Urms.
Oops, asthma exacerbations, seem like they will never settle and along with the steroid side effects, they leave one very low, I do hope you are on the mend soon. 💐

GM, it was very kind of your new friend to include you in the lunch. It is always difficult when people have been friends for a long time and they know each other so well.

Another day in bed for me. Yesterday, I couldn't stand up, without keeling over. My very high BP kept dropping like a stone. This is one of the worst heart episodes yet.
My life is so limited at the moment and I'm not very happy about it!! I feel totally powerless, having no control what is happening to me.

I hope the Lesters have a lovely day, ginny is making good progress and that the Covid warriors feel better soon.
Make the best your day folks, you never know what is waiting round the corner. 😉

Good morning all from a very wet Glasgow.

I had trouble sleeping last night and a snooze later should help to make me feel more awake.

Wonderful news Urms

Have the best day possible all.

Good morning all and it’s another glorious day here on the Suffolk coast. What weather we’re having.! Yesterday was perfect - just a beautiful day. Making the most of it while it lasts. ☀️.

I was feeling so relaxed and peaceful and then DD messaged to say she was back in hospital. Strange symptoms that she’s had before, when coming off steroids, but she’s been off them now for 4months 🤔. We’re are going back to Essex tomorrow so will find out more. 🙏

Urms fabulous news! You’ll be on cloud 9! ❤️.
Sar so glad you’ve had a great holiday. Hope your journey home is trouble-free.
GM enjoy your lunch. Perhaps once you get to know your friends friend better, your feelings will change. 🤞

Today we’ll tidy the house and get ready for our return ‘home’ tomorrow. 🌻

Good morning everyone.
Yes Maw the garden centre is half way between us.
Pleased to hear some poorlies are feeling better and hope others will follow.
Happy anniversary to Mr &Mrs Lester
I’ve pursuaded DH to go for his golf lesson this morning. He wasn’t sure if he should leave me, first time since my op 6 days ago. I’ve promised not to do anything I shouldn’t
and he’ll only be a couple of hours.
Hoping to do some crafting today and have a walk outside later.
Wishing all a good day.

Good morning everyone from south Manchester. It’s dry. I’m so delighted this morning to be able to share some joyous news. After 18 weeks of gruelling chemotherapy treatment at the Christie hospital tumours have shrunk by 50%. We are pinching ourselves about our much needed boost this morning. Back to the Christie today as i.v. immunotherapy begins. It seems indeed the case that there can be Life After Diagnosis.
😊

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the many caring folk on GN. A wonderful community offering support and kindness in spades. When I wasn’t posting (initial shock and devastation) I was reading and all your mentions were so uplifting as I realised you were cheering us both on from the sidelines. It truly humbled me.

Here’s Matt.

Urmstongran I hope you managed to sleep after celebrating 🥂😘

Brilliant news Urmstongran, I'm so pleased for you and your family.
A big spring in your step today.

Urms when my daughter had IV immunotherapy, she had to go to the hospital to start with but after that the nurse came to her house. That might be an option for your dh. Much nicer! 🤞. Might be worth asking.

Good morning Mick and everyone from cloudy but mild Carlisle. I am hoping it will stay dry and calm as I am off to the hairdresser this morning.
I'm also hoping to arrange or get my flu jab, the covid one is already booked for next week. Plus I have a large bag of winter clothes to take to one of the charity shops. One or two things are like new, barely worn but they've been hanging around for maybe 10 years so I've finally gritted my teeth and am getting rid.
The afternoon is free...probably for reading or maybe potting up some bulbs. I have a box of crocus bulbs to plant in the front lawn to add to the small but lovely display I had this year. That's a job I'm not looking forward to and won't happen today.

Happy Anniversary to Mr&MrsLester, have a lovely day.

Excellent news Urms, good luck with your DH's next treatment.

And hopefully you improve Oops and anyone else feeling unwell and struggling.

Have a good day everyone.

Happy anniversary to the Lesters

Good morning from North Yorkshire. It’s warm agin but no sunshine so far.
It’s mental health awareness day and I’m taking part in a walk in Bedale.
Delighted to hear your news Urms. Chemo is so gruelling.
Happy anniversary to Mr and Mrs kitty.
Thinking of all the poorlies.
Have a good day everyone

Good morning from Sefton where the mild weather has necessitated a reverse revolving door in the wardrobe department!
Urms’ news has made my day! 🥂 Yes!!!

Urms
Just dropped in to say what fabulous news. Sending a 🤗

Urms so happy for you both!:
