Good Morning Wednesday 3rd April 2024

Good morning from a very wet Cornwall. I couldn't resist adding the painting of Penzance called The Rain It Raineth Every Day, as that's how it feels.

Signed off by the asthma nurse yesterday who was a mine of information about my lung condition and who did a fancy test which showed that it's not much of a problem at the moment. Good enough for me, as I'll cross any future breathing issue bridges when I get there. It won't in any case affect my knee replacement in June, hooray.

Ash, what can I say? Such a lot to process for you and your husband. Thinking of you. 🕊

My granddaughter is here for the day from 9o'clock, so it will be a baking/painting/slime-making sort of day no doubt.

Good morning from a s somerset, dull and dry

Ash, you are a strong woman and I can see you already working out how to adapt. `How do I deal with it?` is the way forward for you and I see that you will grasp that challenge in both hands.

I have just upped my boiler pressure and increased the flow temperature by one this morning. I feel very much back to my normal me and today will be a mix of pottering and a walk. I think I will walk to buy some more blood oranges today, they were the reddest and best I have ever eaten

Have a good day

Good morning Mick and all who follow - I’m enjoying the chamberpot of tea whilst checking the weather 🌦️ promised for north wales today.

I managed to sail through first few nights of clock forwarding by going to bed an hour later and lying in til eight but something amok this morning as I’ve only had six hours 😴 - methinks I’m not as clever as I make out sometimes 😂

We’re off on the bus to Conwy this morning with Library books to be returned, a script collected and a coffee and 🍰 to be tested - so many lovely independents to support there!

Hope all test results and appointments go well and those with ailments find relief 💐. And some 🌞 from the weatherbarn for all x

Good morning from a dry but breezy Torbay.

Yesterday I saw the Stroke Consultant who told me I mustn't drive. Another ophthalmology appointment has been arranged for Wednesday, 10th April but it's unlikely my field of vision (according to the test) will have improved. I’ve been awake since 2.30 a.m. trying to deal with the implications, not least for my social life which is mainly centred on The Little Theatre which is not served by buses and situated on a steep hill. Likewise my holiday home will have to be sold and trips to France severely curtailed. I love driving and my trusty Fiesta, which I’ve owned from new, has seen me through many adventures including overcoming a journey when the Beast from the East failed to defeat it!!

I know local friends will help where possible but I hate to be dependent. Sorry to moan when I know others have far more serious issues affecting their lives.

Despite having the hump (!) I wish you a happy hump day. 🦩💐🦩🥰🦩
