Good Morning Everyone,
Its just twilight here in brackley but its dry outside .
Today my usual routine , one of amusing things I see once I have sat down in Sainsburys is people trying to get out of the self checkout area without using the barcode on there reaccept to get through the barrier ,some try to force the gates , although there are staff on hand .
Apart from housework , not much more .
Take Care,
Mick

So sorry Kalu. You are being so courageous through this hard time and our thoughts and prayers will be with you and your DH whether or not you post. Lots of love.

A Very Happy Birthday to you Stillearning and that was a brave decision to make re driving. Good luck !

Stressful times Kalu, I hope you’re getting practical and emotional support, be thinking of you.

Good morning Mick and all from cloudy Lancashire, currently 9°C. The sun is trying to break through the clouds.

We have been to the supermarket for the weekly shop. No real plans for today, I got through a lot of admin yesterday including checking my personal tax account on line. I don’t trust HMRC to get it right ever since they sent me a letter claiming I owed them over £2000. I didn’t, needless to say. It’s almost impossible to speak to a human being and even harder to speak to a human being who knows what they’re doing. Being able to use the online services is much easier.

Hope your appointment is better than expected Susan.

Hope the dentist appointment goes well Karma, I think the anticipation is the worst part.

A belated happy birthday Stilllearning. I used to think I’d be lost without my car, but having to give up driving following my brain injury actually made me enjoy the world around me me a lot more.

Kalu you are in such a hard place and you cope with it admirably, I will be thinking of you flowers.

Have the best day you can all 🦩

Good morning from a wet and blustery Lanzarote, we certainly brought the British weather over with us, but we do get an occasional burst of sunshine, we found a small heater in a cupboard and used it last night, we were both so cold.
I’m still fighting the vertigo and stomach bug, let’s hope I can get on the flight home on Thursday.in fact let’s hope I make it to the Airport!

Kalu 💐
Hope all GNers have as good a day as possible. Hugs to those in need of comfort.

I’m back here in Co Durham. For the first time yesterday I admitted to myself that I’m not as agile as I was. Asked for help with my small suitcase getting on and off the train. York station lifts were closed and one flight of stairs was daunting but I asked a passing traveller who immediately picked up my case and carried it down to the platform. Arrived in our local station, took a taxi home then she and I went to our local pub/ restaurant for a good meal.
Back to usual today with walk to school then hairdressers.
I was astonished by the size of the M&S at Cheshire Oaks when my sister and I went on Saturday.
Good luck to those with medical and dental appointments today.belated birthday greetings to Stilllearning
💐 for Kalu

Hope I haven’t missed anyone.

Scraping in to wish you all a good day. I’m on the train home to the north after a lovely few days with my DD, meeting up in London with my sister, nice meals and elegant afternoon tea.
Looking forward to an ‘empty’ day tomorrow.
Will read through the posts now.
