Good Morning Tuesday 16th July 2024

Good morning from yet another rainy Black Country, where it rained most of the day from lunchtime.

Luckily I had just arrived home from my walk when it started. Then it abated for a while when I walked with my friend for Line Dancing, before starting with a vengeance.

No real plans today, so ironing, and waiting for Gas Engineer to arrive, as we have intermittent hot water. So annoying when having a shower and it suddenly runs cold!

I hope gM is ok.

Wishing you all a lovely day

Good morning from a cloudy Essex coast. We had a lot of rain yesterday evening and overnight, where has summer gone this year.
Shopping and a visit to the bank this morning. Admin this afternoon.
DD2 and family are in Cyprus and are having much better weather than we are here.
Have a lovely day whatever you may be doing xxx

Good morning from a dreary Bristol.
I am touched that you have missed me. Thank you for your concern.
I’m late as I had a rubbish night, overslept and, unusually, don’t feel that good today.
I had a bad day yesterday too. Went to Tesco with my neighbour and her friend, wasted time having a coffee. When getting the zapper , I realised that I had used my cards a few days earlier and left them in a different coat. Grr 😡. In a rage, despite my friend offering to pay for my shopping, stormed out and walked home, nearly 20 minutes away. I was most embarrassed when she came over later with flowers in sympathy.
The rest of the day was so so, I made more marmalade, a moussaka for dinner. And as I said, a rotten night for no apparent reason.
Onward and upward. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning all from overcast Wiltshire. Lots of rain yesterday but the dire forecast of thunderstorms and absolutely lashing rain didn’t materialise.

Had small GC for sleepover on Saturday for 23 hours. I was absolutely exhausted when they had gone. I’d rather look after babies. They fought constantly with most of it being instigated by the 3 year old. When we went out he punched his sister in the face. Went to sleep at 9:30 and back up before 6am. They have few boundaries because DD says DGS acts out and is expressing his anger and frustration because he is 3. Hmmmm 😵‍💫😵‍💫

Fed up because we have left it too late to buy tickets for this years RIAT. Last year we didn’t go as the weather was appalling and this year we were waiting to see until last weekend to decide. Weather now looks good but alas all tiers of tickets are sold out.

Thinking of Granmeretto’s ceiling. Also all poorlies. I hope you all have a good day.

Good morning from a grey Lincolnshire, forecast is for rain all day.
Yesterday I was able to sit in the garden for an hour and read my book. After lunch DS and two teenagers went off to Skegness, they had different activities planned and they collected DIL and GD2 from the station in the evening.
They were late returning to the cottage so I just cooked ready meals, but gave them warm sausage rolls as a starter.
GD2 was very tired after her trip to London and was aching from standing eight hours in Hyde park. She went straight off to bed after dinner.
This afternoon we are going to the cinema in Louth and have a table booked for dinner later, yippee no cooking today.

Lovely photographs Grammaretto, my sister sent almost identical photos, she was in Eyemouth yesterday.

Have the best day you can in this poor weather.

A soggy morning but better forecast for later in the day. The garden has liked all this rain, especially the weeds, but I suspect summer won’t start until the schools reopen in September. Will need the vitamin D tablets I think.

Supermarket shop and a cup of tea with a friend this afternoon the highlights of today but I can think of worse ways to fill the day.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a damp South Yorkshire. I had a bad night and am late coming to this morning. Did some hacking and chopping in a corner of the garden yesterday and it left me rather pooped. Volunteering this afternoon - hopefully I shall be able to walk to school and back if the rain stops.
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning Mick and all from a damp northwest coast.
It’s been a miserable few days for me. After the failed extraction of my abscessed tooth on Friday, leaving the root and abscess behind, I have had pain I wouldn’t like to repeat. Eye watering…

After many futile phone ‘phone calls, on Sunday, I staggered into Asda pharmacy after visiting two pharmacies without joy after two days of no sleep and hardly anything to eat, it’s always the weekend isn’t it? I felt dizzy and faint and they called the paramedics!😳 My son came over from 25 miles away and to cut a long story short, I now have painkillers and antibiotics after taking myself to the dentist yesterday like a zombie. I vomited there, vomited in Boots in a paper bag and vomited when I got home. Not eaten, so not sure how I could throw up😁.
Now waiting for urgent hospital appointment to remove the remaining tooth.

I’d like an interesting view Ash, but not of disturbing things!
Hope you feel better too grandmattie and thoughts to all🌺

Morning everyone ,dull day in Norfolk

You poor thing hollysteers, I've had similar a long time ago. Hope that appointment comes soon.

What a lovely coincidence Harrigran! there were several walking groups.
But poor Hollysteers. I really hope you are OK now.

Well done to all the graduating DGC and congratulations to the proud GP.
2 of mine are awaiting Higher and A level exam results.

Hollysteers my heart goes out to you. There are few things in this world than severe toothache. Wishing you all the best.

hollysteers . I can think of nothing worse and hope that urgent appointment comes quickly x
