Good morning, a cloudy morning here in south Glos, another dry day ahead.
Yesterday I finished my chores by 10am, so finished knitting sock 1 and started sock 2. Had a nice chat and cup of tea with a friend in the afternoon and loved sitting outside in the sun for a couple of hours.
Hoping I will be enjoying the sunshine today too, dog walking first.
Have a lovely day 🌹

Good morning everyone from Inverness, at last it’s stopped raining and we’ve got some blue sky 😎
Hoping the migraine eases soon Mizuna
Good to hear Miss Oops seems a bit better Oops
Yesterdays check up at the eye clinic went ok, the eye drops they put in though took ages to wear off so I couldn’t do much for most of the day. A good excuse to sit listening to my audio book! Today I’m really looking forward to meeting up with the Glesca Grans, it’s a longish day for me but definitely worth it
Have a lovely holiday glammagran and safe travels!
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Morning all, blue sky and hopefully a nice warm day here in S E Essex.

The 9yr old was very happy as his house won the sports day cup 🏆

Gym this morning and this afternoon finishing the holiday ironing mountain.

Have a good day everyone 🙋‍♀️

Sorry, can't join in, phone screen triggering migraines. Back if/when it stops.

Good morning Mick and everyone, from a dull Oxfordshire, but it’s early so hopefully it will be sunny later. Sorry to hear you are still having bad days Mick.

MissOops had a better day yesterday, only sick a couple of times in the morning and she managed to keep small amounts of food down in the afternoon - so far it’s still down there!
More importantly she is able to have some fluids, not enough really but she has anti nausea meds and I hope they start to be more effective the more she has in her system. She is also taking small pieces of her usual Meds , let’s hope they start to make a difference soon, she can’t take whole tablets yet as her stomach rejects them.
What a pickle! Meanwhile I stay close and keep an eye on her, the dog came back last night, she will help to cheer her up.

Sorry I wasn’t able to get back and read all of your goings on, it was a busy day.

Karmalady you jogged my memory about the Solstice and Glastonbury, MzOops is going there to give a talk, not sure what that’s all about but she’s gone off with her tent, let’s hope it stays fine down there, I wondered why she was going down before the festival. My head is like a sieve at the moment apparently ‘ I was told’. Hey ho.

MrOops has an appointment later in the week, for some tests in Bicester of all places, Nephew will have to come and sit with MissOops, that will be fun………..

I’ll try to get back to read your posts later, sorry if I’m missing important birthdays or other news.

Hope everyone has a good day, hugs for those who are unwell or stressed.

Good morning all from a cloudy North Leicestershire.

Our cleaners are due at 8.45 so it's an early start. DH is going to the gym and I am aiming to bake. I have a new recipe for gf bread that was lovely the first time I made it.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning all.

Sounds like your sleepover with your GS’s went pretty well Grandmabatty. DGD was a delight on Monday. DGS, yesterday not so much. He was tired all day but apart from 15 minutes in the car this morning we’d been instructed not to let him sleep. He was really grumpy by the time he was dropped off home at 5:30pm. I won’t fib, I’m really missing the 90 minutes of recovery time at around 1pm while he slept.

We need to finish off packing for our holiday to Gran Canaria on Thursday. We are staying near Meloneras where large sharks have been seen close to the shore and the beach was closed at the weekend. The last holiday, a river cruise earlier this month was cancelled 18 hours before we were due to travel. What is causing anxiety is finding someone who can water our garden. Both our neighbours are away on holiday themselves which hasn’t ever happened before. Even DD2 is away with the family for 5 days. The temps are set to climb quite high.

Your poor daughter Oops. I hope she is feeling much better asap. Commiserations to other poorlies. Hope you all have a good day and get outside in the better weather.

Good morning from Malta where we expect another very hot day.

Yesterday was a difficult day as I felt really unwell after a night of tummy troubles. However, I somehow dragged myself to look after the boys. One of them had speech therapy and today he has a hearing test so DD3 takes him for his appointments and goes into school late.

I was in bed by 8 o’clock last night and am feeling more human today, thank goodness.

I haven’t caught up with yesterday’s posts.

Wishing you all as good a day as possible.☀️

I meant to add that I am going to have a GN break for a while

Good morning from s somerset, good sunny weather is expected here all day

I am in the full moon wakeful period and I could not get to sleep last night so I got up, dragged some cooler bedding out of the airing cupboard and re-made my bed and while at it I started on a spare bedroom as that will be needed soon. Upshot is that my airing cupboard is an utter mess and so is my landing and I will be tired today

I had intended to get some positive calming energy from chalice well at Glastonbury but will give that a miss until well after the solstice, it will be heaving with visitors until after the festival. It is also full moon on 21st

The house is airing right now and I will, at least, need to tackle the landing and airing cupboard today

Have a good day

Good morning from an overcast Bristol. It still is fairly chilly.

My neighbour’s visit to the hospital was amazing. We had taken a half hour taxi ride there, arriving about 30 early. Once the clinic was located, we had barely sat down when she was summoned. I had taken the precautions of bringing a big book, a sudoku, some biscuits, etc.,for a long wait. To my amazement, the CT Scan was done and she was back in little over 20 minutes! Taxi home. Incredible!!!

Later in the morning, while I was watching an online WI course, DS texted, asking if he could come over in the afternoon. He took me to Tesco and stayed for dinner. I made all the things he likes - salmon steak, courgettes, leeks - DD can’t eat alliums, they are vegetarians….

Today, I’ve got a strawberry tea with the local ladies’ guild. Should be nice. I’ll probably make more marmalade (from a tin) and get on with that quilt, which is coming on nicely.

I’m sad that people are having problems, and shall keep them in my thoughts. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. We have a blue sky day in South Yorkshire and it’s going to be warm. Yesterday it was dry enough for me to walk to school and back but in the evening we had another horrendous rain storm though the forecast thunder didn’t materialise. Writers group at the library this afternoon, and a bit of shopping while I’m out.
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning from a damp corner of La Sarthe after overnight storms, including thunder briefly.

DH’s blood test results were emailed to him within an hour of the samples being taken. All the various elements appear to be within normal range but it’s likely that the urologist will still require a consultation. This is following surgery for an enlarged prostate nine years ago.

An unexpected social time occurred yesterday evening when we helped a local friend with transport from the railway station for a family of five Australian friends arriving for a couple of days. Eleven of us enjoyed a glass of wine around a very large table in our friend's kitchen whilst chatting about our respective lives. Lovely, easy company.

Thinking of those with health issues, especially your daughter Oopsadaisy, also Mick. I wish you all a happy, hump day. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩
