Good Morning Saturday 15th March 2024

Good morning from Durham.
You’ve the date incorrect again Mick - it’s got me confused.
However, my birthday was defo 14th, which was Thursday and I thank various GNs for their good wishes. I had a great day, saw the DDs for a cheeky glass. However, saddo that I am, the highlight was that I may actually outlive my teeth, as no work was needed at the dentist, bar a good clean.
It’s quite sunny here today, so I’m going for a forest walk with DD1 and her family later. I’ll get DD2’s laundry washed and dried around that.
I’m hoping gM will get her money back from the bank. I’m a little like Karma with my finances and as for the calls saying my card has been debited for thousands - I just hang up, but they never give up.
Best wishes to all. X

Good morning from sunny Colchester.
Mick has confused me with the date again.
DH took DGS1 fishing overnight so it's very quiet here.
I've got a bit of shopping to do this morning and can get a load of washing on the line!
Love to all 🦩 x

Good morning from North Yorkshire. It’s a much brighter day.
The plumber is calling this morning to discuss refurbishing the shower room. I want a walk in shower to replace the existing cubicle which is looking very tired.
Then I’m off on the train to York to go to the theatre to see Cluedo.
I hope gm is over the initial shock and the wheels are in motion to recover her funds.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from a bright W Kent. I have woken up with a sore throat but some shopping needs doing so I will have to go out. Otherwise a quiet weekend.
Sorry to read your sister needs more treatment wwm
Enjoy the 18th birthday party cornergran
Like everyone else I hope gM s problem is getting sorted out
Best wishes to all

Good morning from Glasgow. 1deg and cloudy with a forecast of heavy rain all day. However, the sun is shining in the meantime.

Indoors it is then. If I’m in a busy mood there is always something to occupy my time if not, reading, knitting, basically, anything I feel like doing at my own pace.

Such a horrible time for you GM but I do hope you feel a bit less upset knowing the wheels are in motion to resolve this nightmare.

Hopefully a good Saturday is ahead for all especially for those with continual worries and illness to bear.

Good morning from s somerset and a mainly dry day

I could not stop thinking about our GM and the utterly heartless scammers. My ds works in banking, IT and auditing, they have monthly meetings about scamming prevention, even he was almost caught out last year. I check my accounts every day, only ever use a credit card for purchases and have spread my savings between several banks/building societies. I never answer my phone if I don`t know the number. Never link into buying via an e mail. Actionfraud is a very good site. Never get sucked in by `friendly` strangers, not anywhere and that means hobby groups and church

I must blow this feeling away so will get myself out. I did a good hour in the garden yesterday and am hoping to go cycling soon

Have a good day

Morning Mick, morning All from a dry corner of Somerset.

Yesterday afternoons MRI was a challenge. I was mightily relieved that I’d had several before and knew what to expect as the staff of the mobile (outsourced) facility were shall we say less than professional. How I wish I’d waited in the queue for our hospital and not accepted the appointment. I’m investigating the mechanism to send very negative feedback. The outcome will be assessed by the same organisation, sadly I have no faith in their expertise.

I couldn’t stop thinking about grandmattie yesterday, willing support to be in place Like Pantglas I’m the resident Chancellor of the Exchequer and dread a run in with scammers. I’m not at all sure I’d cope.

A quiet day ahead before heading off to our elder granddaughters 18th birthday party. A mix of her friends, family and other adult friends. It will be good to see the family enjoying themselves. Festivities will go on until the early hours. Suspect we’ll be in bed by ten!

Hope Saturday is kind to us all

Good morning from a fine and sunny South Downs.

Gardening today - yippee! I am renewing and replanting the rockery and scree garden - it isn’t very big so not so onerous as it sounds, but I have neglected it, and it shows.

There have been a huge amount of big fat bumbles in the garden - so many that we’ve had to put up the fly screen o stop them bumbling into the conservatory. I keep finding one that has run out of fuel so have a little pot of honey with a cocktail stick permanently to hand so I can give them the tiniest drop and they suck it up and off they go.

My sister has been told by her oncologist that the melanoma that was removed before Christmas shows sign of spread by the scar - so another biopsy is planned. I will take her to East Grinstead next week.

And very sad but welcome news from my cousins that my aunt has died. She was 96, paralysed and in severe pain. She stipulated that there should be no funeral, so the plan is to scatter her ashes at Trebarwith - we will plan that some time.

Hope gm is recovering from her initial shock and is getting her ducks in place to recover her money. Undoubtedly her family is rallying around.

Talking of ducks - duck stirfry planned for supper.

Enjoy your day all - especially if you have no rain!!

Peace and harmony to our world,

Good morning Mick, Ashcombe and all to follow. It is another sunny day here in Malta with a high of 19°C expected.

I’m worn out after two straight weeks of getting up at 4am so am enjoying a leisurely morning. I shall have to go out as I’ve errands to catch up on although Saturday is the worst day to have to go out. Nowhere to park being the main problem.

Hoping the day is kind to you all, especially those with burdens of one kind or another. ☀️

Good morning Mick from a dark but dry north Wales coast - glad to hear you’re getting back to fighting weight again after your health issues.

Hope grandMattie is getting the help and support she needs with her nightmare banking woes. 💐 I suspect something like that would tip me into a decline because Mr PG leaves all things financial in my capable hands and I’d be devastated at the thought I’d somehow gotten things wrong 😱 Those criminals who prey on decent folks need shooting, as my dad always says!

I’m trotting off shortly on my biweekly march to the next town for my paper before settling in for this afternoon’s torture session - 🏉 hasn’t been the best for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 this season so I’m ready to make use of the wooden spoon 👩🏻‍🍳 😢

Have the best day you can lovely peeps x🌞

Good morning from a calm and fine Torbay, if a little chillier than of late.

Yesterday I caught up with the ironing from the last few weeks! In the past, I would be up and ironing at this time very often, before beginning a full day's teaching. Oh, to have that much energy again!

No plans for today yet. Happy weekend, everyone! 🦩💐🦩🥰🦩
