Good Morning Thursday 11th July 2024

Good morning from a slightly sunny Suffolk after a much better day than expected. No rain and the gardener cut all the grass and did a tidy up.

Gingster belated best wishes for your wedding anniversary yesterday.

I’m off to my stretch class shortly and then having coffee with an old friend who used to be in that and the Keep fit classes before she moved back to Essex a few months ago to be nearer her family after she was widowed. She is back in Suffolk for a few days and joining the class this morning. It will be lovely to see her and catch up in person.

Another friend is organising a Cornish cream tea event this afternoon with proceeds for the NSPCC in a local town which we will support and where we’ll catch up with people we know.

I’ve just made arrangement to travel to Bradfordvtomorrow to visit my sister who was taken into hospital on Monday as an emergency. After spending 28 hours in A&E she is now on a ward . She has been unwell for more than a year now but remains cheerful and positive. How I don’t know.

I’m going by train and will stay overnight as the journey is 4 hours and involves a couple of changes after my DH has dropped me off at a station an hour away. I did the journey by train in a day when she was in hospital last year but it’s just too tiring.

Morning from a sunny S Hants, what a game last night 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, Sunday here we come.
gMattie I too thought the twins might have realised nursery wasn’t just a random day out.
Well done Mizuna go steady though! I’ll wave NanKate the NF is half an hour away from us, enjoy your break.
Bedding to wash, weeds to be pulled and a couple of phone calls to make, beef casserole for dinner.

Good morning all from an overcast Black country rain due later.
Had some sad news yesterday, my friends nephew had died being only 5yrs younger than her he was more like a brother than nephew.
Shopping today and maybe some ironing.
Best wishes anyone celebrating, safe travels those on the move and virtual hugs where needed.
Enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️.

Good morning Mick and everyone from grey Carlisle. No doubt it will rain sooner or later.

Yesterday I gave in and contacted my surgery and got a cancellation for the afternoon...with an actual doctor. No antibiotics yet, I'd rather not anyway. Now I'm booked for a fasting blood test but it's a month away. I suppose he's trying to rule out diabetes but I'm not. It will all come back saying my body is in perfect nick as it usually does!

So onwards and upwards....I'm about to go into town to collect a prescription and to shop for the weekend for my visitors.
I am now not so looking forward to it. They will want to be watching the football and I so loath it. Plus I shall be wanting to watch the Tour with its interesting stages this weekend.. We may have to bargain....At least they won't be bringing a kayak to inflate in my sitting room.! You have my sympathies Rose.

I hope you all have a good day.

A fine morning and an empty awaits so light weeding and reading should fill the day nicely though it still doesn’t feel like summer. Sorry that Marydoll is still so unwell and hope that a day with the positive Dollie helps lift her spirits. My Dollie equivalent is still a joy at 21 and rings for a chat which I value so much.

Good morning I'm new to this site hope you are all doing well

Good morning from West Sussex.. It’s forecast sunny and I have a friend coming down from London for a day at the seaside.

I have just finished a 3 day course of antibiotics - hope the nausea and general yuckiness will wear off soon.

That’s hard for your friend, monk08, losing a nephew of pretty much her own generation.

Sorry to hear about your sister, Liberty. I hope she can get some effective treatment.

Bellasnana, I used to think children should stay at home until at least 3 years old but having seen the various gcs go to nursery I can see the benefits of socialising with other children. Once they get used to the nursery routine and get to know the staff, they will probably enjoy it. It’s hard for you when you’ve spent so much time ensuring happy days at home, though.

Welcome, Cookie1970. I look forward to reading more about you - where you are and how you spend your days 🙂

Morning and welcome Cookie

Welcome Cookie1970 👋 look forward to reading more about you.

Good morning Mick and all from a damp northwest coast.
Useful day yesterday with DD, taking lots of stuff to the charity shop, then a bit of general shopping.

She went off to a friend’s birthday party in the evening and I watched England 👏 and then was irritated that my DGD had logged into my ITVX and somehow arranged it so I now cannot locate the subtitles, which I really need…

Would like to put my washing out, but where is the sun?
Out for a meal at a new restaurant tonight, only time they have is 5, rather early but I’m looking forward to it.

You must be really looking forward to getting out and about again Mizuna, I know you are not a stay at home, hello Cookie1970 and thoughts to Liberty🌺

Good morning from a sunny Malaga - a weather warning for heat!
DD2 has coughed all night and woken with a chesty cold. We’ll go out for a wander then bag an umbrella on the roof terrace.
I’m sorry that I’m finding the kayak story amusing rose is your DH planning to do a John Darwin?
MD hoping for a better day.
Best wishes to all. X

A very late good morning to all. Sorry I'm so late today - just surfaced after an excellent night's sleep. I truly can't remember when I last slept a whole night without once waking!!
Anyway I shall now read all your posts and hope all are feeling their best, and happy. Take care x

Thank you Jax if we didn’t live in the Chilterns and we were younger we would move to the NF. 👋
