Good Morning Thursday 2nd May 2024

Bump

It was known as "Desperate DanAir" when I was growing up. An ex school acquaintance came up to a friend and I in town letting us know she was now an[ air hostess with that airline in a bragging sort of a way to which friend replied "oh sorry that's not good, I'm sure you'll find something better soon "

My dearest friend was once a Dan Air stewardess, the tales she has told are mind boggling to say the least.

The first time I flew, GMB was during the night on a Dan Air Comet. There was thunder and lightening for the whole journey. I was sure I was going to die!

When we lived in Jersey, CI, DanAir was the only airline to take us to the mainland. Horrible…. It was dubbed “DanDare” by the cognicenti!

Bump

I’m late too!! Cut and colour this morning then home to order a new IPad to collect later today. Fun and games when I try to set it up I imagine.
I’ve had no time to read your posts so I’ll start over lunch.
Hope everyone has as good a day as possible.

I’m late. Stayed up too late watching tennis then could not sleep.
Lovely and sunny in the north of Scotland today so a day outside gardening and the hopefully evening meal too.
I have been on the phone for a long time waiting for the surgery to answer and finally have an appointment in person for the end of next week. No I do not want a phone call as i do not want to photograph all the areas that need looking at😤.
Off to treat ourselves at the local cafe after the effort of phoning the surgery and being polite.
Have the best day you can everyone.
Bellasnana. Some exciting matches 🎾

Scalpal, I once got separated from DD, SIL and DH in Edinburgh. I was erroneously accused of being in TKMaxx. We still refer to it as TKMaxxgate..
I was actually sitting on a windowledge across the road having an angina attack, but the tracker showed I was in TKMaxx.

Good morning from a sunny NE.
Covid booster this afternoon, hopefully this one won't be cancelled at the last minute.
Premium bonds came up trumps again this month.
Have a good day.

Beautiful morning here in Dunblane with blue skies and sun. I am not an early riser so don’t know if there was haar earlier or not. Had a lovely 24hrs away in Edinburgh to see the Drifter’s Girl the singing was very good and the songs took my Dh and I back to our youth! Some of the diction however wasn’t very clear. Stayed over in a hotel close to the theatre. It was a lovely Xmas gift from Ds and DdiL. Our daughter who had driven us to the station the day before with a small overnight bag was rather taken aback when picking us up from the stationyesterday, as we appeared with two full sized cases. We need them for our upcoming River cruise as our old ones are getting a bit “tatty”. We had taken the opportunity to pop into TKMax on the way back to Waverly! It is actually quite difficult to find places to buy suitcases around here and I like to see them rather than buy online old fashioned I know. Hope all the poorlies and those with worries find something to smile about today.

Morning from wild and windy South Lanarkshire, cold too in spite of what the forecast said, vest back on!

Sorry you’ve got family upset Llfl, it’ll pass, just maybe not quite as quickly as you’d like.💐

Other than some shopping, a day at home which I am relishing
Hopefully a FaceTime coffee/call with my Corby sister, we’ve been missing each other’s calls.

Thinking always of those who need support and wishing everyone a good day.

Good morning Mick and all from cloudy Lancashire, currently 15°C.

Yesterday I enjoyed a lovely May Day walk down to the river. The tide was quite low and a few shell ducks were padding about the muddy banks. Lots of swallows and terns swooping about around the lock, it’s always a cheering sight to see these summer visitors.

A little housework to do today, my usual physio routine and a walk. I have very little energy left after my walk, so I try to do a few tasks before I go out. The polling station is in the bridge control building, which I can see from here, so I will cast my vote when I go out.

I hope those refunds are on their way GrandMattie.

Wishing you all a good day 🌻

Very late getting up due to thunderstorms and torrential rain in our part of Oxfordshire, dull,and still raining which is due to stay all day.

The house is in chaos, filled with MzOops boxes and bags.

I’ll have to come back and read your posts later

Have a good day everyone

Good morning Mick and all from Sunnyside northwest coast.
Another quiet day in the offing. I will root out a pencil drawing I did of our art group member who died, to give to her sister.
Now I have finished the book group choice, I can read a book I really fancy “Diary of a Provincial Lady”.

Life will be so much better for you when you have had your operation Mizuna
I do hope things can be resolved between yours sons LLFL, it’s horrid having worries on your mind.

Good morning everyone from soggy south Glos, I was awoken by the thunderstorm at 4-ish but managed to go back to sleep.
Sadly our lovely neighbour died last night, he was only 55, I feel so much for his wife and family.
So far this morning I have dropped a parcel off at the village shop for Evri, started making vegetable soup for lunch, there’s a chicken in the slow cooker, liver in the dehydrator for dog treats and a Victoria sponge in the oven so a bit busy.
DH says he’s walking the dog but she’s getting impatient 🙄 because he’s faffing around.
DD and her dog are coming this morning sometime, for a few days, which will be lovely.
Let’s hope it dries up soon 🌹

Good Morning from a dull Cambridgeshire )East Anglia ) at the moment but we have 20degrees forecast for later ☀️🕶️ Maybe a roof down drive .
Yesterday we had a less than impressive afternoon tea in a local hotel , a Christmas Present from SS: DIL .
Also I had a call from MSK unit re my OA knees , I had a 3rd or was it 4th steroid injection 4th January which has now worn off , obviously the more you have the less it works & it took me so long to even get that GP appointment in January !
I had been in so much agony for 4 days since coming home from my DD ( lots of driving, obviously didn’t help ) On Monday I booked an online GP call back request, that’s was dealt with within a few minutes by that referral text . So pretty impressive from my surgery .👌
Then this morning we have woken up to no water 🚿 not a drop through our taps !!! Anglian Water are pretty good & usually email any work being done . after registering the issue via an online chat an AW engineer called back within minutes , to tell us one other person had reported the issue & it had been caused by ‘ a workman fitting a boiler , further up the road & he had switched the supply off ‘ ! Not realising it served a number of houses ! 🏘️ he could of just switched the one house he was working on off !!
[Anyway , it’s still not working
This afternoon, I am off to a Literary Festival with my friends from college .
We also have a builder coming regarding a conservatory that we may have installed.
Happy Thursday everyone

Awaiting hairdresser - why is it that the day you have a haircut booked your hair looks just right? Nothing else planned but plenty to read and sort out on a very dismal morning with the lights on - doesn’t feel like May. Hope all goes to plan for everyone.

Good morning Mick and everyone from a rather grey Carlisle.
What a change yesterday was...I went into town for my hair appointment without a jacket on! It was hot, it was sunny and I wore sunglasses.
The hairdresser did her usual good job and I heard all the local news, good and bad.
Afterwards, I treated myself to coffee and biscuits and offloaded 2 bags of books in the charity shop. I still have plenty though.
In the afternoon, it was out in the garden to do a little planting and some deadheading...my tulips are just about finished now.
I was hot by the time I'd finished.
Today the ironing beckons and then a bit of cleaning up in the kitchen, after which some admin. I'll catch up with my magazines in the afternoon before this month's one arrives shortly.

I hope that bad weather down south soon clears up and doesn't come up here!
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning all. Hope the thunder storms pass you over quickly. We are going to vote soon while it's dry here.
This is just a 'bump' really - have a good day everyone.

Good Morning It seems to have rained in the night , dry patches where cars were parked
I actually slept till after eight this morning
Better get the kettle on
Looks like the scammer is a robot ? Just automatically posting , such a shame

The first time I flew, GMB was during the night on a Dan Air Comet. There was thunder and lightening for the whole journey. I was sure I was going to die!

I love thunder and lightning. A good storm energises me. The worst one I lived through was in Corfu and we could see it hitting Albania before it came over. It was very scary. Still didn't put me off though

I totally forgot that this is the second of May, DIL's birthday. Where has April gone?.

Morning all from a very soggy S Hants, violent storms for at least a couple of hours overnight, me coughing too, Sar it’s wearing isn’t it.
En-suite still not finished, a missing part, hopefully today 🤞
Susan I hope you’re not too sore.
Enjoy your wee trip Bonny.
Off to vote at some point today, the local apathy at elections irritates me.

Good morning everyone ☔️
