Good Morning Everyone,
A dark, dry start here in brackley but looks cloudy above .
Today , my usual routine of going to Bicester on the bus , despite cold air will just have a couple hours , originally was going to return via Buckingham but weather may dictate .
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning everyone from a sunny but cold south coast.
My day has got off to a bad start with a flat battery. I have Home Start so I’m waiting for them but I’m cross because I went to Halfords to get the battery tested before Christmas as it was sounding sluggish but after testing it they said it was fine and I just needed to give the car longer runs!! I should have trusted my instincts and insisted they replace it!😡 I’ve messaged the friends I was supposed to be meeting but I keep getting replies saying, ‘We’re here now!’ 🫢

Hope your cough improves soon, Urms I had a similar one at the end of the summer and contacted the surgery after it had dragged on for weeks. The advice was to eat more blueberries! 😂 I couldn’t believe my ears!

Hope everyone has the best day possible. Keep warm!

Good early afternoon from a lovely sunny but cold Cheshire. I had an early start today as had an appointment at my local hospital with both the physio and then shoulder consultant.

Managed to park which is always a miracle and saw the physio first who has now discharged me which is good. Then saw the lovely consultant ( appointment 9.15 and seen and 9.30 so happy with that as well) who is pleased with my progress and has given me an open appointment for the next 6 months so I can go back and see her if I have any problems so that’s good news.

Have a good day everyone

GP not called back yet perhaps I’ll have some blueberries in the meantime merlotgran! 😁
We’ve just come back up from the square - Himself (a savvy shopper) suggested we go into Iceland ‘because it’s Tuesday’.
10% off for us oldies apparently. Just saved £3 quite effortlessly. I think all of GN were in there …

Erm I’m the register monitor today and have noted absences for Marydoll and RosiesMaw. Hope all’s okay ladies.

Urms our surgery is calling it the hundred day cough. They rule out infection and anything sinister then send you home to let the virus take its course. Loads of people coughing around here.

MD has been on other threads Urmstongran Miss!
What a positive morning Optomistic 👏👏

I’m here miss!
Good afternoon all from cold and sunny N Bucks. Clear blue sky but brrrr! Even colder than Baltic - Arctic!
Solar panels display flashing away to show they are using the sunshine so I’ve got the washing machine on full blast.
Feel a bit rough though because I only fell asleep about the same time as some of you earlybirds seem to wake or get up!
With kind thoughts to all in pain, sadness or distress, 💐💐

I’m enjoying chatting ‘out of hours’. 😁. Glad to hear MD is on other threads Jax. Yes I’ve heard of this 100 day cough Pittcity. I’m hoping for a discount.

👋 RosiesMaw!

MD wasn't very well first thing and felt low. Didn't want to moan.
Doing nothing today.
Thank you for your concern
