Good Morning Everyone,
Dark with sins of overnight rain on the ground here in brackley .
Its beginning to look as autumn is around the corner with temperatures dropping.
Todays plans I hope to get the bus to Bicester , having had a bad day yesterday.
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning from a wet Bristol. I think it rained most of the night.
I hope that you’re feeling bette4 today, Mick.
Had an unexpectedly busy day yesterday. After the residents’ coffee morning, I was offered a lift to Tesco by one of my neighbours, a very sweet lady. We look hilarious together as she is barely 5’ tall and I’m nearly 6’! 😂
Quick lunch, then off to the book group where people are starting to talk to me. The book was really heavy going - the name of the rose - but often these sorts of books are the best for discussions.
Came home and did some preparation for my next quilt. I need to go to town for some mauve/purple fabric. The little girl is into those colours; it’s her sister that is the pink one.
Today, my regular tai chi class, then into town on my way to dine with DD. Iris is in Wales rock climbing and doing all sorts of outdoors things that she loves.
Thoughts and prayer to those in distress or poorly, especially Urms and Marydoll. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩

Good morning Mick and All from a dark chilled South Bucks.

Sorry to hear you had a bad day yesterday Mick let us hope things improve for you today.

Off to our brand new Everyman cinema in the town to see the Kenneth Branagh Poirot film.

I’m not usually up this early, heyho.

NanKate Thu 12-Oct-23 06:02:07

Morning grandMattie we must have been posting at almost the same time.

💐 Marydoll and Urms.

Good morning, ‘tis raining here in south Gloucestershire.
Yesterday I met with two lovely GNers, and enjoyed a lovely chat.
I also finally managed to sort out my debit card débâcle, it’s only taken nearly 3 weeks 🙄
Today I need to tackle housework and get the ironing done. I’ve cancelled my haircut appointment because I want to grow it a bit.
I also need to go to the post office to return something I bought online.
Hope today goes well for you all 🌹

Good morning from a mild (17 deg!) Torbay following overnight rain.

I hope you have a better day, Mick. How wonderful that Iris can participate in such activities now, grandMattie. Another busy day for you! What a long time to wait for your card, Roses and Lilac! Enjoy the movie, NanKate!

My dentist wants to replace two old fillings and crown one of my teeth. This will involve four more appointments and cost more than my fare for our next cruise, which is a week long one around Scotland and NI!

The video call with a physiotherapist was much better than anticipated. He was a most helpful young man, informative and supportive. I have some stretches to do in bed each morning to support my hip as it continues to recover from what he thinks is a problem caused by a tendon and soft tissue damage. He was very much in favour of my Move It or Lose It class, whereas most medical professionals are unfamiliar with them.

Thoughts with those with worries, especially Grandmabatty, Urmstongran and Marydoll. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Nothing planned and if it was I would have had to have cancelled it.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning all from Scarborough haven't looked out so don't know what weather doing, we are leaving today and travel back making a stop at York and the MacArthur glen outlet.
Fresh fruit, smoked salmon with scrambled egg for breakfast this morning could get used to this.
Mick sorry you had a bad day yesterday.
Marydoll hope your feeling a bit better.
Virtual hugs for anybody else with pain or troubles.
Enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans will come back later to catch up with everybody's happenings, may you all find some ☀️

GrannyGravy13 Thu 12-Oct-23 06:40:29

Morning all,

Hope you have a better day today Mick

No plans yet, but no doubt something will come along to keep me busy.

It was raining when I woke up at 5.45am, I do wish I could sleep longer.

Marydoll hope you are feeling rested, and more importantly able to potter around 💐

Have a good day folks 🦩🙋‍♀️

GrannyGravy13 Thu 12-Oct-23 06:41:51

Morning. This is unusual for me to post at this hour. Awake early up early . Going to Derby to see Brassed Off with the U3a theatre group. Just hope it doesn't rain. Hope everyone has a reasonable day.

Morning Mick, morning All from a soggy corner of Somerset.

This years flu jab knocked me for six yesterday, better this morning. First time I’ve ever had a strong reaction. A lot of indoor very slow faffing yesterday. Today some batch cooking and general dust removal.

Dental work is so costly ash, pleased you’re physio appointment was more helpful than you anticipated. Good luck whitewave. Soon be over. Concerned about you oops. Hope for a better day for you mick and for you marydoll. Thoughts go to all struggling with health and to those caring for them.

Have the best day you can everyone.

Morning from a mild, damp S Hants. I too booked physio yesterday for a pinching nerve in my leg.
Hope today is better Mick.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s a bright dry start to the day
Hope you have a better day today mick
Hoping all goes well wwm take care
We’ve got DGD here just now, she’ll probably be awake in a few mins. Think we’ll go swimming this morning and then I’m dropping her home after lunch as I’ve a volunteering session this afternoon
Sounds really expensive Ash 😳
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Pittcity Thu 12-Oct-23 07:28:34

Good morning from rainy Colchester. The temperature is dropping and I think the heating will be on by the weekend as frost is forecast.
I have my flu jab at Boots this morning and a pile of ironing to keep me busy later.
Love to all 🦩 x

Ladyleftfieldlover Thu 12-Oct-23 07:29:48

Morning all from West Oxfordshire.
I hope all goes well Whitewave. I had mine removed back in 2015. It was an emergency so I didn’t really have time to think about it much. I remember chatting to the anaesthetist about gin cocktails and that was it!
I will do less today. I did all the laundry yesterday while OH made a woodpecker guard for his beehive. I know those of us with covid don’t have to keep to any rules now but I am and will stay in the house until Saturday. I did overdo it though yesterday so will lie on the sofa again after breakfast.
I am thinking of the Urms and MaryD.🌹

Gala Thu 12-Oct-23 07:37:57

Good morning from a dry & brightening Sefton. Sun forecast today🌝.
Zumba this morning, The Hollies this evening. Not sure what I will be doing in between.
Have a good day all.

Grandmabatty Thu 12-Oct-23 07:39:07

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 2° and dry. Big change in the temperature here! Whitewave all the best for you today. Mick I hope you have a better day. Ash that's awfully expensive! Brook enjoy your volunteering.
Thank you for thinking of me. It gives me a wee glow. Yesterday I went to the library then checked dd's house for mail etc. Once home, I hoovered throughout and washed floors then started one of my books. GrandMattie it's a long time since I read any Umberto Eco books.
Today I have art class then I'll visit mum tonight and hope she's in a better frame of mind. Have a good day all

luluaugust Thu 12-Oct-23 07:43:47

Good morning from a wet W Kent. Off to art group this morning, no idea what to paint. More washing and ironing later.
Best wishes to all

Good morning from North Yorkshire. Clear blue skies, pretty sunrise and some condensation on the windows. Must be chilly out there.
Out walking on the edge of the moors today.
My dentist has prescribed antibiotics as a last ditch attempt to sort my gum and save my tooth. I had to pay for the private prescription but all my treatment is coming under my dental contract. I think it would be expensive otherwise.
wwm2 I hope all goes well for your op.
MD and all who are struggling 💐
Have a good day everyone.
