Now the sun has come out and it’s beautiful sunshine!

Wishing Wwm well for today and hoping for some answers for Marydoll as we embark on a grey and drizzly day with a certain amount of banging - provided the new doors have arrived at the local Howdens warehouse.

I had planned to make the C cake today but lack the required glace cherries means a trip to the village shop who probably won’t have what I need. Bother!

All the best wwm and Marydoll

I feel so sad about the Gaza/Israel situation that I'm just saying hello and that's all today. Back tomorrow with more bounce hopefully.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Feeling chilly but sunny. A proper Autumn day.

My Helpers are sanding and prepping the bathroom for painting. I think they found my to do list a bit of a shock so I had to explain they are not expected to do everything on my list at least not in a week!

Yoga this morning and ceilidh dancing tonight for me. The young ones will be at the pub watching the football.

I hope your blood test results help to explain why you feel so dreadful Marydoll ♥️
Good luck to WWM🍀

Thinking of all our poorlies.

Good morning all from bright and very chilly Harrogate. Must get this post done before my time runs out! We are soon getting a train to Surrey so I can visit my DSis. DH is at present packing- apparently I am no good at that. Sorry to hear you weren’t well yesterday Mick hope today is better. No idea if I will be able to post while away. We, are going to visit my aging aunt tomorrow, she’s 95. Blind and deaf! I would hate that, I’d rather be put down than last that long like that.
Hope you are brighter today Marydoll and that I get a chance to read the posts!
Have the best day possible folks

Good morning Mick and all from sunny Lancashire, where it is currently 6°C and feeling chilly. The heating is on for the first time. Sorry you had a bad day Mick, hope you feel better today.

I slept like a log last night and the jab after effects seem to have gone. I was shocked though at how bad my mobility has become. There is a big roadworks outside my optician and we had to park a little way away. It was only a short distance but involved a steep cobbled passageway. I was clinging on to MrB for dear life! My glasses have been adjusted and are once again sitting in the correct place instead of halfway down my nose.

Marydoll it’s good to know your cardiologist has finally reviewed your scans and spoken to your GP. I really hope they can work out what’s going on. I too feel guilty at needing so much help from MrB, though he insists he is more than happy to look after me.

Hope Whitewavemark’s surgery goes well.

Thinking of all dealing with worries and illness, I hope we all find some comfort today 🌻🌻🌻

Good morning all from a sunny, at the moment, Glasgow.

Another outing today. A visit to the dentist and the pharmacy which is 3 doors up, an exciting day ahead then.

Best wishes to all for a good day to all.

Good morning from coastal West Sussex. It is cloudy but dry. DH has given me his cold and it is a horrible one. I hardly slept last night so not planning to do much today.

Best wishes to Whitewavemark for your op.

Sorry you had a bad day yesterday Mick.

Marydoll, I’m glad you got to talk to an experienced GP and hope they can improve your situation 💐

Oops, sounds like things are not good for you at the moment? 💐

Also Karmalady sounding less positive than usual - more 💐

Blossoming, you are also having a harder than usual time. Hope your problems with mobility are temporary.

Off to nurse my cold and maybe read my book club book. I’ve got two weeks but I seem to have become a very slow reader.

Good morning from Durham where it was a chilly start at 6degrees, but with a beautiful blue sky.

My hospital appointment yesterday went well, (thank you for good wishes) and upon further investigation, I have opted for surgery, if it is deemed necessary. A trivial complaint, compared to others, who have so much more to contend with.

Today is my friend’s birthday, but she has back trouble so our lunch out has been postponed, in favour of goodies from M&S in her kitchen.

The gardener is due later and I’ll walk little dog before dark.

Hope WWM’s op goes to plan and that Mick and Marydoll have a better day.

Best wishes to all. X

Good morning Mick and all from a colder Sunnyside northwest coast.
Sorry you haven’t been so well Mick, it must be frustrating for you.
I’m very sad about the Israel situation too and events like this worry me as DD is cabin crew and Tel Aviv is one of her routes. Terrorism is always in my mind.
I’m actually at home today so no excuse for ignoring the housework. A new halogen heater arrived but it has to be put together and I’m scratching my head figuring it out…

All the best to WWM for the op and thoughts to Blossoming and anyone with worries of any kind🌺
