Good Morning Thursday 25th January 2024

Good morning all from the Black country.
Late here this morning tablet been on charge so haven't read through yet 50 posts to read will grab a cuppa 🍵 and catch up with everybody's happenings.
Not much happening here today I have yet another bag for the charity shop and we have a carvery booked for later making the most of the 50% deals.
Purplepixie glad all went well and you are back home take things easy.
Enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️.

Good morning from W Kent. Very late this morning as I had to get up and out for the Fracture Clinic. Apparently my nasty break has turned into a minor crack! so I just have to wear the boot indoors for another week and outdoors for five. I have to say the service at the Minor injuries unit has been very good.
DGS3 is due to go back abroad for University so he and his parents and sister are coming for a meal this evening. I prepared most of it yesterday so nothing too difficult today.
Best wishes to all

Good Morning all , it’s milder and dry at the moment
It has been an extremely changeable week , let’s hope for something better now
Grandparents Mass this am , the school choir was amazing , the Chapel was full , the children behaved beautifully
I didn’t get to light candles so I’m lighting them here for all our poorly troubled and anxious friends

Good morning, Mick and all. I spent so long catching up with all the posts and making notes to aid my memory that it is a lot later than when I started! Hope your blood test result is good, Mick.

I have been to the hairdresser for a cut, following on from a eyebrow and lip and chin wax on Tuesday so I am felling very ‘groomed’ - I had got lazy about the eyebrows etc having moved too far from the beautician I knew and trusted, plus Covid effect so it’s good have made the effort. Anyone like to do me a wardrobe refurb?!

Lots of book talk on here today. Urms, a trip to the bookshop with your friend sounds like a lovely idea - I hope she finds something good. Ladyleftfieldlover and JB2, a friend highly recommended that book so my book group is also reading it for next month 🙂

Kalu, I’m glad your missing cover hadn’t blown too far.

Maw, the snowdrops will be a lovely sight on your DH’s grave in the years to come.

PurplePixie, hope your recovery is speedy.

Gingster, sorry your DD had a bad time with the MRI.

Georgesgran, sympathy for your poor DD - a slipped disc is notoriously painful.

Susan, how lovely to have the Strictly show to look forward to, in the midst of all your family losses and illness.

Stilllearning hope you get ‘lit up’ again swiftly.

Bellasnana, what a worry your damp wall must be - hope it can be sorted easily.

Oops, disappointing that your oil tank needs replacing so soon compared with the old one.

Pittcity, everything I buy has to be stretchy 😬

I hope Grammarretto is having a lovely time in New Zealand.

Baggs, 💐

Happy Burns Night! I don’t think there is a haggis emoji!

Good morning Mick and all from a quieter northwest coast.
My sister arrives later from the south which will be nice.

Yesterday I forced myself out after staying in through bad weather, to the lunchtime concert. Wasn’t keen on the programme, but a good turn out. Eccentric elderly man handed a boiled sweet to everyone outside..🤔
I thought one of the performers wasn’t wearing shoes, but as I had the wrong contact lenses in couldn’t be sure. Her black tights might have just blended with her flat ballet shoes.
The use of IPads by musicians now is amazing. I’ve even seen conductors use them for complete musicals etc. I think I’ll stick to sheet music..

Take it easy Purplepixie and thoughts to all poorlies, will read through later🌺.

Thank you everyone for your kind words. Taking it slowly.

Hope you’re able to rest PurplePixie while you heal

You must be relieved to be home! I burst into tears when I got into my own bed after my hysterectomy!
