Good Morning Thursday 21st December 2023

Good morning from a very stormy Glasgow.

Hairdressers today which I am sure to be pleased with the outcome but I may end up looking like wurzel gummage when I attempt to run back to my car in strong howling winds. Hey ho.

Beautiful card Beechnut thank you.
Happy Birthday RosesandLilac and many happy returns of the day. 🎂
Grammaretto, I hope whatever meds are prescribed for you plus physio do the trick of relieving your pain.
Hi Baggs, lovely to see you here this morning, sorry I missed you at the meet up. Good luck with your artwork.

Best wishes to all for a good day and a better one for those going through difficult times.

Good morning Mick and all from a windy Sunnyside northwest coast. Hair cut and coloured yesterday, it’s always rainy and windy when I go😁
I’m off to a matinee performance of Woman in Black on the train, insides still churning but tickets are so expensive I’ll force myself.
Still quite a lot to do for Christmas but I’ve always been a last minute person and it usually wotks out 🙏🏻 DD arrives on the 23rd and is a help.
We have new trains on our line, but they are phantoms to me. Hope to use one today. Apparently the seats are very hard…
Happy birthday RoseandLilac and thoughts to all with worries.🎄🌺

Good morning Mick and all from cloudy Lancashire, currently 10°C and dry.

I’m late this morning after a disturbed night, the wind was so noisy. I awoke around 5am with dreadful nerve pain in my neck, shoulder and side of head. It’s a thing that happens as a result of my brain injury and luckily happens very seldom nowadays. It’s usually a result of an awkward sleeping position. I have taken a CoCodamol which is starting to work and the pain is receding. It will remain stiff for a day or so but I can cope with that. I can take it easy today. MrB of course didn’t hear a thing!

I will go back and read your posts now.

Have a good day whatever you’re doing.

Good morning all , it’s very windy out !
I have earache , so rang the surgery , 47 th in the q ! , finally got to speak to a very nice receptionist , told to ring after 3 to see if a prescription has been ordered ,
Decided I should go down to Mass as I usually do on Thursday, did a bit of shopping in the local shop , arrived home to the phone ringing
The Doctor ringing me ! He thinks I have bugs so has prescribed a spray and an antibiotic , I could hardly hear him , it’s my best ear is hurting!
Two minutes later he rang back for me to go to the clinic down the street wh were a nurse swabbed my ear !
Home by 10.45, I think that’s service !
The Chemist will have my prescription later , so another walk to collect meds
Candles were lit , prayers for all our poorly xx patients

What beautiful words GrandMattie

Good morning Mick and all. It’s windy here in West Sussex but not nearly as bad as further north so take care all you Grans in Somerset, Yorkshire, Durham, Scotland and wherever there is danger of flying branches or other loose objects.

I am very tired today in spite of a good long sleep - maybe I slept too long 🤔. I stayed in with the littlest GCs yesterday - DGD age nearly 5, had her tonsils out a week ago and is not allowed out yet. Her throat is still very sore and she hates taking her medicine. Her sister (nearly 9), can only cope with her for limited periods before she gets tetchy. We had a couple of bursts of energetic bouncing on the sofa bed but otherwise long periods of being slumped watching tv. Nobody wanted to play a game or have a story read to them 😢.

Today I must enthuse DH into helping me put up lights and other decorations. We are way behind everyone else, due to being away the first fortnight of December and busy this past week. I will go and forage for some greenery for the wreath.

Baggs, you must let us see your watercolour.

Grandmabatty, have a rest and get better - if I’m tired after one day’s childminding … !

Happy birthday RosesandLilac. Enjoy your cake.

As always, thinking of those with health challenges and those looking after loved ones.

Thanks for your words gMattie.

Wishing you good health and no pain and me but specially to Blossoming , grandmabatty. and all others who are suffering.

Grammaretto and Litterpicker thank you and thanks to others who commented on my 'poor me' post!
The sore throat has subsided as has the laziness. I popped up to see dd and the boys. Dgs1 wasn't at nursery today because of a sore tummy. However he managed to eat mini pretzels 😂. We think the sore tummy is butterflies at Santa coming. He's going to nursery tomorrow morning. Dgs2 was so excited to see me. It took me out of myself iyswim. I read Lucy and Tom's Christmas with dgs1-his choice then left to brave Tesco. It was hoaching! (Good Scots word). I was lucky to get a parking place and the queues were halfway up the aisles. However Christmas booze is bought and nice bread for the next few days. I'm going to wrap the last few presents soon and feel more organised.

Happy Birthday Rosesandlilac

Thank you Grammaretto I’m snuggled up in my favourite recliner watching the wind blow. I hope your physio appointment helps,
