Good Morning Thursday 18th January 2024

Good morning from a chilly -2 here in Torbay but we can’t rival the temperatures Mick is experiencing!

My condolences to you, grandMattie, on the loss of your sister. 💐 A difficult funeral for her family to organise with her being temporarily so far away.
Safe travels to you and to all who travel to the funeral today, Susan56. The support from your daughters will be a blessing.

Yesterday brought no definite news from the hospital regarding my changing peripheral vision, although a TIA seems the most likely cause. The consultant had hoped that I would have heard from the vascular team by now. He wants me to have a brain scan but won’t proceed until he’s checked whether to make it CT or MRI, depending on exactly what was used to repair my heart valve in late 2022. He was insistent that I need to be available to be seen within two months.

Thinking of those with worries of any kind. 🦩💐🦩🥰🦩

Good morning from West Wales.A dry day forecast.

We are up early as today is MIL’s funeral and we need to be ready for family who will start arriving from mid morning.DD’s are on their way down and will meet us at the crematorium.

Condolences on the loss of your sister grandMattie.Very kind of your children to reach out to her family.

Thinking of all with worries and those caring for loved ones.

Have the best day you can everyone🦩

Good morning from cold and very frosty South Lanarkshire.

You’re very organised Mick, it’s good to have things to look forward to.

I made a start on culling books yesterday, we are drowning in them. I’d like to clear a little more space in my craft/piano/book/toy room.
We enjoyed seeing Wonka at the cinema with one of the DGC, lovely to have a little one to one time.

Today I’ll carry on with the book cull and will spend the afternoon crocheting.

Have the best day possible everyone.

It wil be a cold, crisp and sunny day today in s somerset

My jumper is finished and looks beautiful, it is made with a blend of 30% alpaca and 70% blue-faced leicester. I have a different colour of the same moordale yarn and may well start another one this afternoon. All part of a slow and steady de-cluttering/use-it-up process

I have no real plans for today but something will evolve, it always does

Have a good day

Good morning from Bristol. There is a hard frost judging by what’s on cars. We shall barely go above 0C today, but no snow.
My elder sister died early yesterday morning; she was visiting my younger sister in Australia. It was much quicker than anyone expected, I think. My lovely children reached out to her family, which more than the families did when my two beloved chaps died…
Yesterday was a bit of a muddle. I needed to go out several times, the IKEA chap was nearly an hour late, which really annoyed me as I had thought a lot of the construction would have been done by the time the painter arrived.anyway, the building was done (and I was asked to leave a tip!!!), the painting was started, some pictures and stuff were put up…. Things are moving along nicely.
Today, my tai chi class in the morning, dinner with DD; the painter is coming. Goodness knows how long he’ll be working, but he does a lovely job so I just pay him.
I hope things are tolerable for those in distress/pain. Carpe diem. 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Morning Mick, morning All. A mere -4 outside here mick, our corner of Somerset seems slightly less freezing. We’re due a sunny day, wonderful.

Yesterday went to plan, thoroughly enjoyable coffee and chat with our neighbours, we are so lucky to have them next door. Steroid injection accomplished with minimal discomfort, helpful advice on managing a troublesome thumb, can’t fault the surgery physiotherapists

Mr C wanted to go out for breakfast today, he may change his mind when the temperature registers. A troublesome damp patch in the conservatory to be inspected this afternoon. It’s very small, not a major worry, just wanting it sorted while the conservatory warranty is current.

Thinking of all facing life’s challenges. Hope Thursday is gentle with us all.
