Good Morning Monday 6th November 2023

Good morning from Shropshire.Another dry day forecast.

To day we are driving over to Cheshire to visit mum.We will do the usual out to lunch and then supermarket shop.

I hope your daughter doesn’t have to wait too long Gingster.Such a worry for you all without the added stress of waiting in a crowded A and E department💐

Glad to hear olddudders is improving.

corner when my FIL had surgery for his aortic aneurysm he was told the recovery time would be up to a year.I hope your DIL soon starts to feel better.

A happy snippet! When DGD was going home she asked if she could take one of her cuddly toys with her.I said of course you can take anything.She said can I take you then😊

Have the best day you can everyone🌺🦩

Good morning from a sunny WKent. Lunch went well yesterday and it was good to catch up with DS and family he also did a few small jobs round the house for DH. Looks like a quiet day today.
Ginster Hope your DD gets some answers.
Best wishes to all

Good morning all from the Black country where it's a sunny start to the day.
Grammaretto hope all goes well with your cataract op.
Hope everything goes smoothly with bathroom renovations grandMattie.
A trip to charity shop with books and there are some toys the boys no longer play with that can go also.
If it remains dry will have a potter in garden.
Enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️

Good morning from west midlands. Its bright and sunny at the moment. Thinking of you and your daughter ginster I hope you get some help and some answers. Also that they speed you through A and E.

Good morning Mick and all from bright Berkshire. My DDs new flat is lovely, with two bathrooms and a nice terrace, all very modern and uncluttered, unlike my own place in the north…
We had a lovely day yesterday, firstly to the Royal Windsor farm shop and all its fine goodies, where we had brunch, then on to see DDs flying friend and a glass of bubbly. Next stop a HUGE garden centre with amazing seasonal displays.
In the evening we drove over to Surrey for a meal with my 90 year old BIL and SIL. I do admire her, she cooked a tasty chicken dish and fruit crumble. My BIL frailer but in good spirits.
Thoughts to Gingster today, get well wishes to olddudders, continued improvement for Mick and thoughts to all with troubles 🌹

Ginster hope you get some answers for your DD and the wait is not to long in A and E .

Good morning everyone . A fairly bright start here in N. Bucks.
Lovely afternoon yesterday with the family. I was pleased that I managed to walk down to town and not have any aches or pains when I got there.( one month after hip replacement).
Youngest DgS will be here in a few minutes for an hour or so. Afterwards I hope to make a large batch of pastry ready for mince pies and will get the puds on for steaming.
Wishing all a good day, special thoughts for the poorlies.

Good morning from a bright and blue skied Black Country.

Back home after a busy weekend with DGD's. DD and SIL and friends arrived home from Paris around 5pm

Monday walk this morning, then a relaxing afternoon methinks.

Hope the work isn't too noisy gM just have to think of the end result!

Hoping your DD gets some answers Gingster such a worry for you all.

Hello Gymstagran hope you are doing well.

Wishing you all the best day possible

Good morning Mick and All from a sunny dry South Bucks.

Preparing to depart for Brighton area tomorrow to help look after DGSs for 5 days. It will be noisy, fun, tiring and a lot of kicking a football about.

I love caves, I told DH that in a previous life I must have lived in one. He thinks I am doolally 🤪

Good morning from Durham - dry and bright so far outside. Huge fireworks at a house opposite DD2, so we stood on her doorstep to watch. They must’ve been ‘industrial strength’ as they set off all the car alarms in the vicinity!
Coffee with a friend this morning, then something to return/swap at Dunelm later. My neighbour’s tree continues to shed beautiful golden leaves - all over my drive! I’ll sweep them up, bin, then plant some pansies in my window boxes before dark.
I hope your DD gets some news Ginster she has been through so much. Trusting Urms and himself arrived safely at their happy place and found it as they’d left it - enjoy! Tea and KitKats works for builders gM fingers crossed the job goes to plan.
Thinking of our GNs and their loved ones who aren’t so well today.
Best wishes to all. X

Hope the A&E visit is helpful and not too protracted, Gingster, not the best start to the week. Am awaiting the floor layer to start creating havoc in the hall, now almost emptied though shifting the cupboard will take two of us - at least it is empty, the contents in two laundry baskets in the sitting room, which looks like a low class jumble sale. The week’s plans will have to revolve around the chaos.

Feel a bit more like myself this morning and am comforting myself that I would have felt even worse if I had actually caught covid if my reaction to the jab was so strong. Probably not true, but it consoles me for four lost days.

Good to see Marydoll writing at length again, and hope she and Dollie have a happy time together.

I don’t know about tin mines Mizuma but here in the North East, women were considered bad luck down coal mines.

Good morning all, very wet day here in west Yorkshire, i am having a day sorting out the greenhouse lots to do in there and will keep dry , hope you are all well as can be 🙂

Good morning from Sefton where the weather is exactly as Gala describes.
Glad to hear of improvement in Mick, olddudders and Ginny. Sending thoughts to Gingster and her daughter.
Lots of admin awaits me.
Enjoy your day everyone. Urms 😎 🍦 🌞

Morning Claralou good to see you here.

Good morning Mick and everyone from Carlisle where it is trying to brighten up. Showers forecast today.
Are you new Claralou? Welcome if so!

I did little except sit about yesterday, my day off activity except the brain sort. Today I shall break the back of the weekly housework and laundry and do some admin in the afternoon. Nothing interesting to report really!

I hope something positive comes out of the day for you and your DD Gingster.

Have the best possible day everyone.

Welcome Claralou 👋

Good morning from sunny N Bucks. Autumn is a beautiful season when it’s like this and the Autumn colours have never looked lovelier.
I woke up to a strange smell of cooking and realised that the cassoulet I had thrown into the slow cooker was, well, still cooking slowly! So it’s had 14 hours. Good thing it was on Low and it will certainly be tender (tender enough to eat with a teaspoon I suspect!)
Art History restarts for me today and I am looking forward to seeing my friends there again. We are all of an age but they are among the liveliest most intellectually active people I know and their company is always stimulating - and fun.
Gingster all kind wishes for you and your daughter, what a dreadful worry, but how good that you are close enough to be of help.
Bonfire night passed peacefully enough , in fact I don’t think I heard any fireworks! Maybe people in the village were buying the Asda silent ones as it certainly wasn’t raining.
Blessed with the first ever greyhound out of the five I have had not to be bothered by either fireworks or thunder, makes life must less stressful, but my sympathies go to all those whose pets are quivering wrecks.
With kind thoughts to all poorlies or worried or in distress, I hope today will be gentle with us all.

I’m glad your mum is doing well Grandmabatty.They keep us on our toes don’t they😖

All the best to Grammaretto today for her cataract surgery👀💐

Glad you found us Claralou and good luck to Gramamretto. Hopefully you will be well enough to join us at our next meet up.

Good morning all from another sunny day in Glasgow, I could get used to this. 🌞

I am currently having coffee in my sun bathed she-shed (with the heater on) watching the birds feeding. Bliss. Small pleasures of peace and calm.

The roofer starts today to investigate where the leak in the hall is coming from then later this afternoon, a visit to the hygienist.

What a worrying time for you Gingster. I hope your wait in A&E isn’t too long and a solution is found for your poor DD’s health concerns. Poor girl has been through so much.

Wishing all a good day and a better day for all with worries and struggles.

Good morning from a sunny NE.
It was very noisy here last night, noise continued from dusk until very late. I did not go to bed until 11.30 and there were still the odd bang. I must say I do not like modern fireworks, they sound like bombs exploding and so bright I could see them through the blinds.
SIL told me he is coming back to the UK in the middle of the month, he has been missed.
Have a good day.

Morning all, after several nights of little sleep I gave in and took a sleep aid (herbal) last night. Have woken up with an awful headache.

Will catch up with you later 🙋‍♀️🦩

Morning from a dry morning in Eden after a wet night. Not one firework was heard last night. When we first came there was a full-on huge fire with a beautiful display and hot food in the village hall. Things went downhill when Health and safety said the farmer's field was not safe and the fire was to be in a skip. Not a pretty site and one of the major organisers moved away.
We're waiting to hear from GC about their exploits.
A busy week clearing up after the visit twice last week.
Good luck to all with problems.
