Good Morning Monday 17th June 2024

Good morning from a glorious Bristol. (We shall soon be whinging about the heat!🤣)

Wonderful to hear from you taichinan. MD,may your new treatment be helpful.

There were a lot more people than usual having coffee after the service yesterday, I spoke to several people I hadn’t before. I was also given a load of jars for marmalade. A lot went yesterday: I shall have to make more.

In the afternoon, I sat reading in the sun, when a neighbour came to join me for a chat. Then a bit later, another came over to give me some of her apple and blackberry pie. She hasn’t felt well since early this year, so it’s a great improvement. I had it for pudding.

Today, I have the toddler group. I found a load of postcards for recycling in the church and shall offer them to the children for cutting up and glueing.

May your week bring only contentment. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good Morning Michael and all who follow, it’s sunny and calm here in Oxfordshire and the heating hasn’t come on so it must be warmer.

MissOops took a turn for the worse yesterday morning and was ambulanced to the hospital, within half an hour she had had bloods taken, ECG, blood pressure, pulse, temperature and was on a fast drip, she had a Covid test and a jab against DVT, after the first bag of fluid, she stopped being sick.
The second bag of fluids had Potassium and Sodium in it, after 30 minutes of this she got the feeling back in her arms and was sitting up in bed having a sandwich and a cup of tea! After some more fluids she was so much better and was discharged with some meds at 7pm. No complaints here about the NHS, they were brilliant.

Let’s hope she will still be ok when she wakes up this morning.

I’m off to pick up my car which broke down a couple of days ago when I popped out for some bread, lets hope it’s still in the Supermarket car park, I had to go in and tell them it would be there until yesterday, but I wasn’t able to get back, our friend fixed it whilst I was at the hospital but went off with the keys….

Enjoy your day, let’s hope we all get some sunshine, half an hour sitting in the garden will be nice.

Good morning from a brighter looking day in La Sarthe. At last!

Recently, back in Torquay, I had lost some weight but, in just a week of being here, those few pounds have crept back. I attribute this to me being more relaxed, away from my home responsibilities and sleeping well.

Welcome back to Taichinan and to those who like to visit this thread although don't post. It's surprising and good to discover how many are regular readers.

What a good thing MissOops went to hospital, *Oopsadaisy1! I’m so glad to read of her recovery and hope she continues to be well.

I wish everyone some sunny skies today. 🦩💐🦩🥰🦩

I’m so glad MissOops is feeling better, Oops. Obviously, the fluid input, plus salts seem to have done the trick. 👏.

Good morning to you all.

I’m sorry Miss Oops has been so unwell and wish her a speedy recovery. After reading about how many supermarkets have recalled sandwiches, wraps and salads I’m put off eating any now.

We were able to sit outside in the sun at DD2’s yesterday. The other GP’s were there too and we all had tea and cake for Father’s Day.

Today will be school pickup and early dinner for DGD3 and tomorrow is the turn of DGS2. It was really hard keeping him awake which made him grumpy during Thursday afternoon as we’ve been told no naps are allowed anymore as he wasn’t settling down till 10pm. His sister sleeps soundly and always has done.

Enjoy what looks to be a rather better day weather wise. The rain was insane on Friday here.

Good morning from a sunny South Downs where the temperature will be hopefully higher than the last few days.

Father’s Day yesterday, and DD popped in to see Dad. Nice long chat. DS somewhere in the Adriatic, so no visit from him this year.

Housework today - so not much else planned. I fed the dahlias yesterday and their flowers are beginning to open. I also sowed digitalis and myosotis for next spring. The forget me nots are for Duncan’s garden. It has a blue and yellow spring theme as he died in April. Thomas - our little Westie died in a February so his patch of the garden is white and pinky colours - snowdrops , cyclamen Coum and crocus.

mick glad you seem better.
oops good news about your daughter. NHS well done again!

That’s me for today🙂. Enjoy your day all

Peace and harmony to the world.

Good morning from s somerset, sunny and dry here today

I am so glad that young oops is on the road to being better, heart was in my mouth when I started to read your post. My 7 year old great niece was similar, ill for days then hospital and pretty ill for a while more, looked so weak and poorly while hooked up to a drip. She had cryptosporidium

I am very much looking forward to being outside today, cycling past the orchards and getting the feeling of being back in time. There has been too much of being indoors this summer

Have a good morning

Good morning everyone from a very bright and sunny 🌞 Northampton, with a lovely day forecast. Shall put some washing in when I get back from yoga - my knee now seems to be fine so I shall give the class a go today.

Took it easy yesterday morning, read the paper, did the crosswords and other puzzles. The afternoon was spent in the garden, trimming the lawn edges, but I only managed to do a.third, as I have such a huge lawn as the edges were very overgrown. The cats came outside with me and enjoyed the sunshine; then I got my book and a drink and enjoyed a bit of sun myself!

Glad that MissOops is feeling better.

Shall probably do the same this afternoon, and hope that we can all find a sunny spot today.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 10° and dry. Very cloudy though. Oops I'm so glad your daughter is doing better now. How scary for everyone. Glammagran it's very hard work with grumpy toddlers, I sympathise.
Yesterday was a quiet day. I did a food shop, tidied up a bit, made lentil soup and visited mum in the afternoon. She wasn't good. I took bedding to dd which is dried in the tumble dryer. Both boys were eating cake which dd had made for father's day. Dgs1 had his finger jammed in a door by dgs2 -accidently- and it looks very sore indeed.
Today I'm girding my loins as I have both boys overnight. Dd and Dsil are going to a concert. Both boys are excited because I don't have them overnight often. Grandma is a bit apprehensive but I'm sure I'll cope. So today is pick up, then nursery drop off and playgroup drop off then later do it in reverse. Have a good day all

Good morning from South Lanarkshire where, like yesterday, it’s dry for the moment.

Daft dug and I got drenched on our walk yesterday afternoon in a monsoon like shower.

DD and one of her girls came over and treated us to lunch out yesterday, they were delighted with all the bracelets I’d made for them.

Glad to hear that your DD is feeling better Oops, the NHS at its best.

I’ve had to change my volunteering day for the foreseeable as I’m starting a strength and balance class this morning. The physio I saw a few weeks ago referred me and a place has opened up at my local leisure centre.

Wishing you all the best day possible.

Good morning from another hot day in Cornwall. A lovely evening spent with my son watching the football. He'd printed a belated birthday card (snippet attached) drawn by my 14-year-old grandson, who tactfully left out my crutches but if you look closely you'll see that I'm leaning slightly on a table. Very sweet of him as he knows how I feel about my crutches.

Today - all week in fact - I must go on my travels because there is building work starting downstairs and my flat will be intolerable noisewise. I'll pack a flask and food and a blanket and begin with Perranporth today.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a rather grey dreary South Yorkshire. After a bit of a mixed day yesterday, late afternoon and evening were warm and sunny. The gardener is coming this afternoon to clear out a large bed at the front of the house. It’s a mess of old plants that have outgrown their usefulness. I want to plant heathers in it instead. It frustrates me hugely that I can’t dig any longer. Other than that it’s kitchen cleaning for me.
Good news about your DD Oops. Hope she’s on the mend.
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning all from an overcast North Leicestershire.

Plumber, yet again, first thing - hope he has the correct bit this time. I am also doing a zoom Carer's course in the kitchen so hope he's quiet.

Lunch with DS1 and his lovely lady and then a trip to the garden centre for bird feeders.

Then a big sit down, I think.

Have the best day possible.

Good morning from Glasgow, where I have no idea of the weather. I have been sleeping beside a windmill called Dollie, all night and am afraid to move, in case I waken her.

Her parents had told her she was a big girl now and she was to let gran sleep in her own bed. ☹
However, when it came to bed time, she discovered that she had left her beloved Pooh at home in error and she was sobbing her heart out.
Nothing would soothe her, then I remembered that we had another Pooh somewhere in a bag of toys in the garage. After much rummaging, in the dark, in my pyjamas, I eventually found him.

I don't think Dollie was quite convinced when I said that this (rather well fed Pooh) was her ( rather thin and worn) Pooh's twin brother. 😉
I said I would lie with her until she fell asleep, but she wouldn't let me out of her sight. The death of my son's friend, whom she called, Auntie M, has affected her very badly?😢
I have been clinging on to the edge of the bed all night! How can such a wee girl take up so much space.🤣

What a dreadful few days you have all had, Oops, I hope things will improve from now on. Poor Miss Oops has certainly been through the mill.

Our concert last night was even better than anticipated. There were three soloists with amazing voices and the acoustics in the Abbey greatly enhanced the performance.
However, we were unable to go for a meal afterwards with DS and DIL, because Babydoll has been unwell all weekend 😪 and they wanted home.
We ended up in McDonald's with Dollie it suited me, because I was feeling the effects of my treatment and had felt nauseous all day. I was so relieved to get back home.

I need to get up and make pancakes for Dollie's breakfast and get her ready for school. I'm hoping I may get in to the garden later, unless something gets in the way.

Have a pleasant day folks, whatever your plans.

Morning all from West Oxfordshire. It looks like it might be a sunny day!

Glad to hear Miss Oops is on the mend. That must have been scary.

Our cleaning lady is coming today and I’ll do a Waitrose shop.

OH has ordered another beehive. His bait hive in the garden attracted a swarm yesterday. It was amazing to watch. In a day or two when they’ve settled down he will take them to where his bees are and introduce them to the new hive. The possibility of being stung is quite high!

Have a good day.

Good morning from sunny Colchester. A warm, dry day at last.
I'll get DS's bedding on the line, set the robot vacuum going in the bedrooms and pop out for a few bits. The garden needs a bit of tidying too as rain is forecast again tomorrow.
Love to all 🦩 x

Good morning from a gloriously sunny hillside in south Glos, perhaps I won’t need to wear my winter clothes today!
Yesterday I baked and cooked for several hours then sat and enjoyed watching the birds on my feeders, so many this year- great spotted woodpeckers, blue and great tits, sparrows, starlings and goldfinches. We filling the feeders every day.
Two dog walks yesterday and the same today 😊
Have a lovely day everyone 🌹

Good morning from a grey, damp Co Durham. Oh for some warm, dry weather.
Quiet day for me, no school escort duty, so why am I up early 😂.
Glad MissOops is better.
Enjoy your day everyone.

Morning all, I can see blue sky but it is only 13° here in S E Essex.

We had a lovely afternoon with youngest three AC and families in Old Leigh, the sun shine and we had a table on the pub’s terrace overlooking the sea, unfortunately the tide was out.

This morning I am off to the gym, have t been for nearly three weeks so I will be achey tomorrow, then I must attack the holiday ironing mountain.

Sorry MissOops had to get so poorly before she had treatment, fingers crossed she is on the mend.

Have a good day folks 🙋‍♀️

Good morning from a sunny W Kent. We are getting used to our quiet days DH was up half the night coughing away. I shall get the washing in to keep up to date. We did our postal votes yesterday just have to get them posted somehow.
Oops glad your DD got the help she needed
Marydoll quite a night hope you will be alright.
Mizuna Perranporth sounds great
Best wishes all round

Good morning all from the Black country where it is a lovely sunny start to the day.
Glad MissOops is on the mend.
Perhaps a tidy round the garden I can see a few weeds need pulling.
Enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️.

Morning Mick, morning All from a sunny corner of Somerset

Mr C enjoyed his roast yesterday and we managed a windy visit to a sea front, not our town as it would have been far too busy. A very enjoyable, unexpected , visit from our elder granddaughter later in the day. She can talk for the world and it was good to hear about her plans.

Off along two motorways today. Needed a dry day as there is much sorting to do of my parents grave. It floods after heavy rain in spite of new drainage, makes me very sad as, and I know this is daft, my Mum hated being wet.

Phew oops, a scary time, I’m so pleased your daughter is recovering.

With thoughts to all finding life hard going. Hope Monday is kind to us all.

Good morning from a bright Cambridgeshire morning. I am hoping for a day of gardening until school pick up at 3. It will then be Monday mayhem with dance classes and gym classes with dinner at ours before delivery home around 7. I’m looking forward to it though gets hectic but enjoyable to be with them.

MD I laughed reading your post my 18 year old granddaughter was like a windmill too when small and she had masses of curly hair that flapped everywhere. It is tiring but those days quickly pass and they grow up so quickly. You are amazing when struggling with your health.

Do hope miss oops is finally on the mend what an awful time she has had and a worry for you all.

I’m just awaiting a call from DD2 who will come off the nightshift shortly for an update on how her night at the local hospital went. She has a cold so hopefully will dose up and sleep well this morning. She said they all have this cold at work it is doing the rounds so guessing me and DH won’t escape it!!

Yesterday had its up and down moments so hoping today will be better one. Sometimes our expectations for these special days ie Father’s Day fall flat . However today is another day. Wishing a peaceful happy day to all.

Good morning from Severnside where it is sunny.

After a quiet weekend I’ve a few errands to do in town this morning.

I might potter in the garden when I come home and try not to do anything strenuous.

I’ll come back to read your goings on later at coffee time.

Have a good day all 🌺🌞
