Good Morning Thursday 23rd November 2023

Congratulations Taichinan how wonderful!

Good morning from a much brighter Black Country.

Thursday walk this morning, with a cafe stop at the end.

Mum's diagnosis was dementia, but he had to report his findings to a Doctor to make a firm diagnosis. I will have a phone call next week. The odd thing is, one of the questions was 'what day is it today'. She never knows the day normally, but straight away said 'Wednesday!'
She is not too worried, her attitude is...I have done well to get to 93.

We had a quick trip to town on the bus for a few things, then back and lunch in a local pub.

Happy birthday MrBaubles have a lovely day.

Wishing you all the best day possible.

Good morning all.
Happy news on bathrooms, kitchens shelves, birthdays , holidays and babies.
Our decorator
worked at a goodly pace yesterday and the freshen up of the kitchen looks good.
Not sure what we are doing this morning but this afternoon I have sewing group.
Wishing all a good day with a smile Ali g the way.

Thank you Marydoll and Laura. One mention of the Cheshire Cat and I'm off again 😁

Congratulations Taichi. How wonderful to welcome another little soul into your family. (I’m very envious!)

Good morning everyone from a sunny Oxfordshire. Had a rough night, sniffing and coughing, possibly from the Pneumonacoccal jab (scuse spelling) as my arm was very hot last night, it possibly re triggered the virus which the GP says was probably the cause of the cough in the first place. Anyway I feel as though I’m back to where I was in October, of course with the luxury of knowing that all is well on the inside.
Happy birthday to MrBaubles hope you all have a lovely day.
So sorry Mizuna awful to be in pain and then have the op postponed.
Taichinan excellent news, congratulations to you and your family.
Maw as we are surrounded by farms the saying around here is “Red sky at night your Barns alight, red sky in the morning, your Barns still burning”
Have a good day everyone, hope the poorlies all feel a bit better today.

Congratulations Taichinan, wonderful news. I have found myself grinning like a Cheshire Cat for you.

Lovely news Taichinan, congratulations! 🎉

Good morning Mick and all who follow. Lovely sky, Rosiesmaw - I hadn't heard the 21st century version of that verse!
Mizuna I'm so sorry for you, that is so hard
Happy Birthday to Mr Baubles.
That boat looks great grandmattie.
Yesterday was a Red Letter Day in our family as, late afternoon, our little Ollie was born. He's my first Great grandchild and I'm over the moon! Never been done before you know 😉😍. I won't be able to meet him in the flesh for a couple of months yet, but every photo will be greedily looked at as you can imagine!
Yesterday wasn't without its other dramas as well as, of all days, that was the day my phone decided to refuse to charge! As you can imagine, I was up and out and down to our town's only techy shop almost before it was open! Ridiculous how reliant I am on that little bit of hand-held technology. All was well though - just needed a new connector and I was one with the world again.
Now off I go to set a more normal day in motion - tai chi, shopping and home. Pappa and Granny are off to meet their new grandson so I'm sure there will be more gorgeous photos to drool over admire.
Enjoy your day everyone x

Good morning all from a wild and windy Glasgow. DH let me sleep on, as last night I had an unexpected vertigo episode and I was feeling pretty rough,

Congratulations to your DH Baubles, I hope you have a lovely time.

Mizuna, such a big disappointment for you, but your anaesthetist is trying his best to keep you safe and we wouldn't want anything to happen to you.
Glad your meal turned out better than expected GM. I could be the MIL, we can't help ourselves. It's a nervous thing.😉
Ash, I hope you receive some positive news.

Yesterday's visit to the hairdresser turned into a social event. I bumped into a few parishioners, who were concerned that I hadn't been seen about church. I had a great time catching up!
My hairdresser also keeps me up to date with local gossip. The conversation usually starts with: Did you teach x? Their mother/father/ sibling/ grandparent has died. 😱

I'm just going to potter about today, I'm feeling a bit ropey. However, I may try a few complicated things on the parish website, I seem to be regaining my IT skills and confidence,
I realised this morning that it was exactly nine years ago, that I went off sick, on the insistence of my RA consultant. It was downhill from there on and I never worked again. 😪

Have a good day folks and best wishes for all who are struggling.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs the South Yorkshire weather can’t make its mind up today and neither can I. It’s a bit breezy for a walk in the woods so I think I will just drive over and have lunch with DD and do some shopping while I’m over there. Last night I spent two hours on the phone with an old friend. We always have a lot to say to each other, and a good laugh too. Unfortunately we don’t live near enough to each other to get together regularly but I hope to see her in the New Year.
Happy Birthday, Mr Baubles🎂🥃!
Have a good day, folks.

Meant to say that your 21st century version of ‘red sky…, made me laugh Maw.

Good morning Mick, the weight loss could be because you’re gadding about a bit more but please mention it to your medical team.
Good morning to the rest of you from dry, still, overcast W Cheshire.
Happy birthday to MrBaubles, have a good un.
Disappointing for you Mizuna, one sure thing is that time will pass, it will all be done eventually. Meanwhile I’m sure you’ll crack on with your usual indomitable spirit.
Day two of having a fitted desk and shelving unit installed. Lots of dust, may have to eat out again today, aw shucks.
All the best to all
🦩🦩🦩

Good morning and Happy Birthday to Mr baubles
Hope you are ok for the next six months till your op Mizuna,
Nearly there grandMattie! Hardly any orange colours left in the garden now, plenty of yellowy tones and the old flower heads are beginning to stand out nicely. Winter waiting in the wings!
Stay warm everyone and try to have a good day x

Good morning from a lovely sunny Suffolk.

Not a very good start to the day. Our oil delivery came about half an hour ago but went back on the tanker. Apparently our tank has a crack at the bottom which,according to the driver,has a crack at the bottom,can’t be filled as the crack might widen with the weight of the extra oil, and needs replacing. An expensive job,he said…..what isn’t these days was my probably unhelpful reply!

I’v off to my stretch class shortly and then for a pedicure in our second nearest market town.

I hope that those celebrating birthdays have a lovely time and those with worries find some solace.

Oops, forgot. We were safely sat in the window of The Castle and Ball at that time glamma enjoying a coffee with our friend. Sounds a lucky escape . Waitrose seemed to be intact when we did some shopping later, no traumatised staff . These things are unsettling.

Happy birthday Mr Baubles

Good morning from North Yorkshire. It’s very grey so I think more rain on its way. High winds have died down a bit.
It was lovely in the hills yesterday, great views all the way across to the Pennines. And not as muddy as expected. It was a tough walk, 5 miles and quite a lot of climbing uphill. Good for me and 16000 steps done.
Today it’s back to charity stuff, parent group this morning with a talk on benefits then a meeting later with a potential new host.
Love the sunset Maw and the boat GM
Have a good day everyone

Good morning from cloudy dryish s somerset

A late awakening today I am glad to say.Nothing much on the cards for now, apart from making a good veg and bean soup, to last for three days. It is fairly noisy here, builders are building, just a one-off and I think the horrible very mucky bit on the access road is over

I will be retreating into my sewing room later as it is on the other side of the house and has a very peaceful ambience

Have a good day

Morning Mick, morning All from a dry, calm corner of Somerset.

Thoroughly enjoyed our two nights away but as ever pleased to be home. I’m a home body really.

Mr C can’t decide if he’s brought a cold back with him. I’ll ask the coach operator for their out of hours phone number in case he can’t go tomorrow. Not sure I’d go alone as I’m not overly happy in crowds and can’t think of anyone local who could walk far enough to take his place. That one made me think! Not to worry. There’s always next time.

Some sorting and laundry for me along with the GP appointment, otherwise a quiet day. Mr C will be asleep I suspect.

A very happy birthday to Mr Baubles, enjoy every moment. I’m sad for you mizuma but of course you must be kept safe and you’re worth the best possible outcome. Nearly there grandmattie. Wonderful to hear. Thoughts go to all with health or other worries

Have the best day you can everyone.

Maw, when we lived in Jersey, CI, they used to say “red sky in the morning, fisherman’s warning; red sky at night, Guernsey’s on fire 🔥 “! 😂

Good morning everyone from a dark and windy Inverness
What a lovely post baubles wishing your DH a very Happy Birthday and hoping you both enjoy the very special day together 🎂💐❤️🥂
We’ve got DGD here, she’s just up and will be getting her breakfast soon. She always asks for porridge when she’s here, so nice and easy. School run first thing then a rare day with nothing planned. I’ll probably get outside in the garden for a bit if I can
Disappointing news mizuna I know you’ve green counting down the days until now, I hope you can manage ok for a further 6 months without too much pain, take care
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning from Peterborough, off today back to Kent after a short but busy stay.
Mizuna
Ashcombe all the best
Happy birthday MrBaubles
Best wishes to all

Good morning from Colchester where we've had overnight rain but are forecast a dry, mild day.
DH is fishing for the day, so I can clean floors and change bedding in peace.
My walk will be through the park and along the river to Aldi for a few bits.
Love to all 🦩 x

Morning, dry in Hants.
Frustrating Mizuna.
Nearly there gMattie I like the boat.
Hope for good news Ashcombe at the optician.
Car wash today and the inside needs a clean, no, I’m not doing it!
Apart from that I have phone calls to make and and the kitchen floor to wash.
Happy Birthday Mrbaubles 🎂🥂
