Gramaretto best wishes for tomorrow x

Late to post. Mick, it’s good you have seen your doctor. Hope everything stays settled.
💐 for RosiesMaw
Hope the Urmses have a lovely week.
Best wishes to Grammaretto for your cataract op.
Liberty, that delivery driver got stuck in the right place if he had to get stuck, with your lovely husband to help him out.

DD’s Covid is receding and her DH is back from Australia so I am back home enjoying the quiet!

Dear RosiesMaw.
I was very moved to read about your memories of of the last days with your husband. You must still miss him terribly. It is good to read your thoughts on grandsnet with encouragement to others.
My best wishes Carole

Very late this morning after a late night and disturbed, dream filled sleep. Want to wish Urmstongran a smooth journey and happy holiday, well earned,

Maw a difficult day indeed

Good morning all from a chilly but a beautiful sunny day in Glasgow.

DD1 and the girls are coming for lunch later after that. I dare not waste such a lovely day so some pottering in the garden to look forward to. I will eventually sit on my derrière to conserve some energy for a pretty busy week ahead.

Bon voyage Mr&Mrs Urms I am so happy for you both having this opportunity of a break in your sunny happy place. 🌞
Good luck for tomorrowGrammaretto
Very sad news for you both Monk. So true how life can change so quickly within a matter of hours.

Have the best day possible all including those coping with worries and struggles.

Good Morning all from sunny Harrogate. Had a dreadful night thanks to the people who think 11pm is a good time to start a firework display, it finished about midnight, when I was trying to get in the mood for sleep! Might be the same tonight! Sorry Oldudders is having a rough time of it. Glad you have been re-assured Mick.
Have a wonderful time Urms and Himself, send us some sunshine! The building and renovation show was interesting, bought some silk pillows, made on the Glenwood Estate Marydoll. My DD went to Glenwood Nursery when she was three - doubt if it's still there. Going to try to go back today and get another pillow for Sister-in-law's 80th Birthday present next week end.
Have the best day possible Folks

Lovely and bright here in Eden. The house is very quiet without our visitors and to think it will be well after Christmas when we see them again is not a happy place.
[for Maw and anyone else in the same situation. October to early January is our reflective time too, so many dear departed and their birthdays in these months. Then January and my Toy Boy catches me up and we go forward hopefully together. Time certainly goes quicker for me as I get older.

Safe journey Urms and good luck tomorrow Grammaretto

Just popping in to say to Maw and wish the Urms a very happy time visiting their 'happy place'.

Maw 💐. Mizuna, lovely table.
Happy holiday, Urms.
Thinking of all poorlies and those with troubles.
Of to cycle through The Archers now.

Maw, thinking of you today, bittersweet memories.

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny 🌞Northampton, dry at last after heavy rain yesterday morning.

It cleared up for my rugby match, and I went home happy as we had a good win against Bath, 24-18. Went right down to the last minute which didn't do my blood pressure any good!
Got a.few WhatsApps during the match regarding my DSis, in hospital with a broken hip and neck. There is no way she will be returning to her own house; she now needs full-time care. My DBrother is driving down to Somerset to see her today (after he's taken morning service at one of his churches), will stay overnight and visit some care homes in Wiltshire tomorrow. She has agreed to move nearer to her elder daughter, which is a good thing. Once she is settled somewhere I hope to visit.

No plans for today, catch up with the weekend newspapers, knitting, watch some tv - a premiership rugby match is on this afternoon; may do some washing. but will use the tumble dryer.
Easy dinner tonight - an M&S Chicken Tikka pie with roast potatoes and veg.

Have a wonderful holiday, Me and Mrs Urms!

Meant to add, have a lovely few days in Malaga Urmstongran and Mr Urms. It should do you both a power of good.

Good morning, it’s a bright and breezy start to the day after all the rain yesterday. At least the grey gloom has lifted - I hate those days when it never seems to get light.
A lazy day ahead for us, though we might pop into town later for a mooch round and a change of scene.
Hope you all enjoy your day.

Good morning from a bright West York's.We have nearly finished clearing the loft can't understand why oh kept all the things up there (I never go up there .) We are both aching but hope to finish today .Hope all poorlies soon feel better.

Grammaretto best of luck with your cataract op tomorrow, our friend has had the two and is very happy.

Maw💐

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s sunny. We will be getting a taxi to Manchester airport at 2pm this afternoon. Off to our ‘happy place’ in Málaga. I’ve checked the weather app and it’s 22°C for the 5 days we will be there. Perfectly lovely weather, a real bonus. We will pace ourselves on this mini break. We plan to factor in rest times during the day as we do here. Keep things on an even keel hopefully. Himself has an aisle seat at the front of the plane with me next to him and we will board last. It will be straight to bed when we get to the apartment as it will be later than we hoped - Mr O’Leary has changed our flight time by 90 minutes. Hey ho.

I still can’t believe we are going - I would not have believed this possible in July/August - we are so very grateful.

Here’s Matt.

Good morning from what was a brightening Sefton but is now clouding over rather ominously. Rain is not forecast.🤔
An emergency (well OH thought it was) dash to the retail park yesterday for replacement headphones as his had given up the ghost. More time in TKMaxx for me.
Returning to said retail park this morning as he can't get the headphones to work. (No surprise there). Even more time in TKM for me! I have an Argos click & collect parcel which, to my amazement, I can pick up from my very handy, but small, Sainsbury's convenience store. Didn't know this was possible. Rest of the day will no doubt be taken up with the Sunday papers.
Have a wonderful break Urms, just what you both need. 💐for Maw. Thoughts with those of you with worries & struggles.

Good morning Mick and everyone from bright and dry Carlisle.
Yesterday was lovely weather-wise. After a brief trip to Sainsbury's, I drove down to the garden centre for my 'free' coffee and some more tulip bulbs. I drove home along the country roads, the southeastern bypass works have started now for the next 2 years. At the moment, they are just working at either end of it. The trees are turning the most beautiful colours, almost like an orange tunnel in places along the road.
In the afternoon, I went out and buried my crocus bulbs in the front lawn, 50 of them. It wasn't as onerous a task as I'd thought.
Then I made pizza for dinner. I have the rest of it for lunch and then some local lamb I bought yesterday for dinner. I don't know where supermarkets get theirs from but it's almost a different species of animal from the lovely local meat.
There won't be much activity from me today, I'm going to read the papers and my new book and potter about on the computer.

A beautiful job on that table Mizuna!
Best wishes to Olddudders, hopefully soon on the mend.
And wishing Urms and DH a delightful holiday.

Good morning from a dry NE.
Quiet day yesterday, sister and BIL visited for an hour and then I watched Matt Baker programme where he travels with his mum and dad. The programme was about Lindisfarne and brought back lovely memories of my holiday there last year.
Another quiet day today as family are still recuperating from covid.
Hope the Urmstons have a good journey and a wonderful holiday.
Rosiesmaw 💐

Morning all, haven’t read your news yet.

I just wanted to wish Mr & Mrs Urmstongran a safe journey and a wonderful time in their happy place

So sad to hear of DH’s cousin Monk, life can turn in seconds!
