Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark but its dry outside at the moment in brackley .
I was sorry to hear about Dave Mears yesterday , but having gone through a similar situ , I looked at things with him such as weight loss and not a fuller face , because those who I know tend to look at me as to how I am .
At the moment when out the chill in the air has an effect on my breathing but its was worse this time last year .
Today hopefully get TV up and running so I can enjoy my cycling .
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning all from a cold Glasgow, DH says the cars are covered in

A Happy St. David's day to all our Welsh posters. Today would have been my father's birthday, he would have been 118!

Mick, we can all be affected by bad news of people with similar conditions, best not to dwell on it, we can't change anything, apart from trying to keep as healthy as we can.
Look on the positives, remember how unwell you were this time last year. 💐

Mizuna, another worry for you to contend with. I hope you are starting to feel better.💐

GM, Roman Holiday is one of my favourite times. My fridge is covered in Roman Holiday fridge magnets one collected each time I visited Rome!

Yesterday, I was very sick, due to the incessant coughing. I'm praying for a better day today. DS2 may visit with Babydoll, which would just be the tonic I need.

Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently -1° and frosty. It's really interesting how the weather suffers in our comparatively small island. Happy anniversary to Mr and Mrs Corner. Have a nice day. Happy birthday to the dds of Bellasnana and Mizuna. GrandMattie that is a lovely quilt.
Yesterday was the last art class and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I drew two more ballet dancers and can see an improvement. I'll carry on practising.
Today is a quiet day. I'm still choked with the cold and was up in the night with it a couple of times. It's a lovely day so I think I'll get into the garden for a little while. I'll have chicken salad again for dinner. Have a good day all

Good morning from a cold wet morning in Leamington. Lots of tired girls here as DGD1 has finished 3 of her 6 shows and DGD2 went to see it with her dad last night.
DD1 and I are food shopping later before collecting DGD3 from school.
Always busy here but lovely to be part of their lives for a time.
Have a great day everyone xx

Good morning from North Yorkshire. Clear blue sky, lots of frost and a beautiful sunrise!
I went to see Wicked Little Letters with some friend yesterday. Oh my the language!
Today it’s parent group in Thirsk. I shall be making coffee and generally helping out. After lunch I shall pop to see my friend who broke her leg.
And I need some food shopping…
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from Durham. It’s very cold and rain forecast.
A Costa coffee this morning with a friend and I’ll pick up wine for the DD’s birthdays. Nail appointments for DD2 and me this afternoon and as I still have her Little Dog here, it’ll have to be straight there and back. I’ll walk him later. I’m still coughing and my ribs ache, but it’s nothing compared to others.
Best wishes to all. X

Good morning Mick and everyone from a very cold, wet and windy Oxfordshire. Best not to dwell on it Mick, you are doing so well compared to last year, but DaveMyers will be sadly missed.
My jalopy failed it’s MOT and needs a new something or other to do with the steering, so it will stay at the garage until they can do it, we are away for a few days next week so I won’t need it. It’s turned out to be a very expensive February this year.

Bed changing and a clean through today and maybe a garage sort out but it’s so cold and wet out there, it might be an indoors day with a good book as MrOops is out.
Happy birthdays to all the ‘Children’
Happy Anniversary to the Corners💐🥂
So sorry you are so poorly again Marydoll 💐
Mizuna hope your DD is out of hospital soon.
Pleased you have at least spoken to someone at the surgery who can help Ash.
Have a dry day everyone,try to avoid the puddles.

luluaugust Fri 01-Mar-24 07:56:54

Marydoll Hope you have a better day.

Happy St David’s Day to my Welsh cousins.
Best wishes to all

Good morning from another sunny Suffolk although,given the puddles on the drive, there was a lot of rain overnight. I don’t know how long the sun will last,long enough,I hope,till after I get home from a lunch with 3 friends at a fish restaurant about 15 miles away.

We meet up every couple of months and always have lots to talk about. We live very different lives with different commitments which always makes for fascinating conversations.

Hope today is a positive one for everyone.

Good morning from rainy Colchester. My cold is much better just in time for a quiet weekend with nothing in the diary. A trip to Lidl will be today's highlight.

Happy Anniversary, Mr and Mrs Corner! and a Happy St David's Day
Love to all 🦩 x

Jaxjacky Fri 01-Mar-24 08:09:08

Good morning from a windy, wet S Hants, it’s chilly too.
Happy birthday to your daughters Mizuna and Bellasnana 🎂, it’s mine today too It’s also 25 years since we got together, we were going away tonight, but the knee has cancelled that.
A Happy Anniversary to the corners🥂.
That sounds better Ashcombe a proper plan, I should think so too.
A takeaway tonight of some sort.
🦩🦩

Good morning and happy St.David’s Day to all with Welsh connections.
Sad to hear this morning of the death of the wife of a singing colleague, cancer again, what a scourge it is!
Off to art soon and hope to feel more enthusiastic today, getting fed up going out in the cold.

Happy anniversary to the Corners, Birthday greetings to Bellasnana and Mizuna DD, thoughts to Ash and all with worries 🌺

Good morning all the sunset here on the east coast of Fife is glorious. I’m staying at home today, I’ll be making my favourite lentil soup and potato wedges for lunch with my carer who’s just come back from maternity leave, one of the good ones.

Have a good day my friends hope i you are all well.

Grandmabatty Fri 01-Mar-24 08:15:42

Ashcombe I missed your post. I'm very glad that something is being done to help you.

GrannySomerset Fri 01-Mar-24 08:26:23

Cat problems dominating my life - she has become very aggressive and it’s not clear why. I bear the scars of last night’s attack and am at a loss to know what to do. Oldies’ coffee morning and a service in church (what used to be Women’s World Day of Prayer) so must get organised.

Grammaretto Fri 01-Mar-24 08:26:24

Good morning on this beautiful sunny St David's day.

Congratulations to the Corners, JaxJacky and to all the birthday girls and boys.
We danced the Anniversary Waltz last night at the ceilidh dancing. It must have been for you.

I'm working in the community store this morning and then I'm off to the potters' spring gathering in Fife for the weekend.

keepcalmandcavachon Fri 01-Mar-24 08:33:28

White Welsh Rabbits everyone, Dydd Gwyl Dewi Hapus
Wet & windy = crafting with plenty of tea & toasted teacakes! The garden will just have to be patient.
I love your latest GrandMattie, beautiful, good to hear you are feeling better after your chat with your doctor Ash and hope all with worries and heath concerns are able to have the best day possible x (Come on Spring-we need you!)

Good morning and Ive just returned from traffic jammed roads. I messaged DD to say I would pick up little DGD as it was pouring and take her to school. She didn’t reply but I headed off. The main Road up to our town is closed, so there is chaos everywhere. Stuck up another hill, I got a msg from Dd saying they were already on the bus. 😤. Took me another long while to get back home. Oh well, the thought was there!

She’ll pop in for coffee and I’ll dry her off with a warm blanket and a hot drink.

Ash I’m glad you have had reassurance 👍.
Mizuna your Dd sounds as resilient as her mum. 😉.
Happy birthday to her and Bellasnanna’s Dd.💐💐.

I think we’re all in for another wet day so take care 🌷

Gingster Fri 01-Mar-24 08:40:49

Happy birthday Jaxjacky 🥳

Good morning everyone from a very wet Northampton, torrential rain here today. Hoping my lift decides she wants to go to dance classes, if not, then I shan't be venturing out.

Busy day housework wise.yesterday; bed changing, dust removal upstairs, a deep clean of my en-suite, and two loads of washing. Wherein lies a mystery - a missing pillowcase! Have looked everywhere, shaken the duvet covers out, checked washing machine and tumble dryer but no sign of it....

I found time in the afternoon to finish the fifth and final volume of the Cazalet Chronicles; I am sorry to say goodbye to the family and their adventures, but can now watch the tv series on DVD.

Nothing else planned for today after dance classes, will probably start my new read for book club, 'The Lost Bookshop'.

Have a good White Rabbits day everyone.

Good morning Mick and everyone from sunny, frosty Carlisle. I see you're getting lots of rain further south and it's forecast to be here at lunchtime, just when I'm due to go out for my dental appointment. I fear the tooth will be an extraction or a crown but not today I'd expect.
I'd like to get round to the Body Shop, it's one that's being closed...right in the city centre. Don't think I'll be able to make it today though.

This morning, I must get down to some admin then some reading when I'm back from the dentist. I'm tackling one of those ought to read Russian classics, The Brothers Karamazov. It's a thick tome with very small print and I'm wishing it was on my Kindle so I could enlarge it, however, I'm liking it so far.

Best wishes to all you poorlies and have the best possible day everyone.

Bellasnana Fri 01-Mar-24 08:52:57

Oh goodness, thanks so much for all the birthday wishes for DD2! I will pass them on when I speak to her later.

Happy birthday Jaxjacky, Happy Anniversary to Mr & Mrs Cornergran and to anyone else celebrating.🎉🎈🎊

Beechnut Fri 01-Mar-24 09:01:26

Another wet day on Severnside 😦

Good morning everyone

Happy Anniversary Mr&Mrscorner enjoy your lunch
Wishing you a very Happy Birthday JaxJacky 🎉🎂

I probably should do some shopping as it’s been well over a week since I did any. My friend is coming this morning so I’ll go this afternoon.

Have a good day all ☔️🌸

Good morning from a rainy Black Country.

A lovely walk along the canal yesterday to Kinver, coffee stop half way along. It was very muddy, but the rain held off!

DS was interviewed on a local radio station yesterday . Proud Mum moment!

Taking Mum to a Memory Cafe this morning, and on to an eye test afterwards. Try and fit in a cafe for lunch between. .

Wishing you all the best day possible
