Good Morning Sunday 21st July 2024

Good morning , I thought I’d posted earlier , but I mustn’t have !
It’s quite nice so far ,but of course rain is forecast
Not a big congregation at Mass today , I guess it’s holiday time
My magic cleaning friend has been here while I was out , lovely to have everything clean
Enjoy the rest of the day folks 👋

Good morning from cloudy West Sussex. I’m just dropping in briefly to prove I’m still alive! I am gradually recovering from my infection. Last day of antibiotics today.

Grammaretto, I hope your antibiotics soon clear up the infection from the dog bite.

Hollysteers, I’m glad to hear you are improving, also with antibiotics. I hope you hear about a hospital appointment soon - surely you shouldn’t have to dip into savings?

Marydoll, I hope you feel better with a more restful day.

Thinking of all with challenges and missing friends 💐

Thanks for the sympathy over my dog bite. From all the stories I've since been told, more dogs should be muzzled when in public places. This one had tried minutes before on the girl at the till but she escaped.

Bellasnanna how lovely! You deserve to have a pampered holiday.

Pleased to hear you’re a little more comfortable hollysteers any toothache is the pits, yours must be the worst.

Gingster the current orange moon (July) is the Buck Moon.

hollysteers, I keep meaning to send good wishes and sympathy to you: I have been horrified at your tooth saga, it has sounded dreadful. I’m glad you seem to be a little better and really hope you get properly sorted soon x

Good morning Mick and all from Sunnyside northwest coast.
The abscess and shards of tooth are under control with industrial strength antibiotics and painkillers, swelling reduced so I’m feeling slightly more human. No news of my hospital appointment and if no joy, will be going private.

DD bought a tv and set it up in my bedroom yesterday, so kind and rather a novelty for me. I’m hoping not to spend too much time there watching it, but nice to have. She went out with friends last night and I had mash and mince, just right for my poor old mouth.

It’s her last day here and she’s been a real Florence Nightingale and friends have been in touch as I’ve missed my usual meetings etc, so it’s nice to be remembered.

Hope your health is ok Mick, oh to be in Naples feeling well Bellasnana and thoughts to all🌺

Morning from my bit of South Lanarkshire. I went to vigil mass so am feeling smug baubles!

karma that’s not good at all, I hope your precious tools are found soon.

Your family get together sounds just lovely brook I hope the sun shines for you!
Grammaretto, you are having quite a time of it, I’m sure family tea together helped a little bit and I hope the improvent to your hand continues apace.

11 year old DGD is coming today to stay for a few days, I’m so looking forward to it. She would love you Mizuna, she is very arty and loves sewing and crafts. Unfortunately those are not my strengths but I’ll do my best. We will cook together and she’ll enjoy that.

Wishing a good Sunday to everyone.

Good morning Mick and everyone from cloudy Carlisle where it looks like rain shortly.
Yesterday evening it rained heavily. Again, only one day of heat here, that was Friday when we hit 25°C....lovely!

I was planning a visit to a different garden centre this morning, shall I let myself be put off by potential raininess?

Karma I hope your parcel is recovered, how upsetting for you.

I hope you all have a pleasant, and sunny, day.

Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow, where it is currently 12 °C.

I have had a night of bizarre moods. Baubles, in my dreams I visited a large garden centre, which unusually had a charity shop section. It was full of beautiful clothes, with sewn in personalised labels, which said, Made for *Baubles by Monsoon! I would have bought them, but they were all size 8. 🤣 How bizarre is that?
I think it was triggered by seeing an elegant parishioner at Mass last night. She is your double.

Yesterday turned out to be really busy. SIL ate me out of house and home, then DS, DIL and Babydoll arrived unexpectedly.
Baby had been sick n the bedroom carpet, so they needed to borrow the carpet cleaner.
She totally ignored us all and made straight for her toybox to pull everything out.
I had just finished tidying up was was admiring how clean and tidy everything was, when they arrived! 🤣
T
Later, we saw our beloved Dollie at Mass last night, a perfect day.

I am not feeling too good today, I feel as if I have a chest infection brewing again, so I am just going to potter, apart from roasting a large piece of silverside, which I found in the freezer. DH is delighted, but he may be eating it for days and days in various formats. 😉

Lots of business going on here, enjoy. Bellananna, I am so envious. I hope you have a lovely time.

Morning everyone, it’s grey but warm (18°)

Will take the day as it comes, I think one teen GS wants to go to football club practice, the other will just chill.

Enjoy the day 🙋‍♀️

LLFL DH and I saw “Present Laughter” at the Globe Theatre in 1993 with Tom Conti and Jenny Seagrove. Classic Noel Coward and very funny.

Good morning from dry but cloudy South Lanarkshire.

What a pleasant surprise for you gM. My first cousins number almost forty too, a couple have died but I’m in touch with all of the others even if only, in some cases, by way of Facebook.

Poor you Grammaretto, that sounds painful.

Sorry to hear about your precious tools going astray Karma, I hope the parcel turns up.

My usual Sunday mornings have been disrupted by a change in Mass times over the summer holidays. I have to be out an hour earlier now which I’m not used to yet. I must be more set in my ways than I’d like to admit to.

DH and I are looking forward to a late lunch/early dinner at our local Italian restaurant, the food is usually good.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning from a dry but cloudy NE.
Yesterday was mild but cloudy most of the day.
I had a lazy day, just watched TV and made easy meals, dinner was a vegetarian spaghetti bolognese.
DIL went off to collect a car door yesterday. The rear passenger door of her mini needs replacing and she found exact colour and model online while we were on holiday. Bit awkward without the second car as they live in a village and GD has to get to work where her shift finishes at 11pm. She is only insured to drive the mini and her dad's car is a big automatic.
My younger sister returned from holiday yesterday, she took a break before she starts treatment tomorrow. She had a routine blood test the other week and found she was vitamin B12 deficient and has to have injections for the rest of her life. I was surprised because I am the one with all the digestive problems.

Have a good Sunday everyone.

Another sunny Suffolk day….good morning.

We are off to Ipswich for lunch with DS and family. It is DGD3’s 14th birthday on Tuesday and we are having a BBQ I think. She had an early birthday picnic with her friends yesterday. I imagine the roads will be busy but in the opposite direction from us.

I hope today is a good one for all.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 10° and dry. It looks as if it was very wet during the night. The bird bath is overflowing. Whitewave don't wait to long before you get it seen to. Karma what a nuisance for you! GrandMattie two meetings with cousins on the same day! How nice to catch up.
Yesterday I did a food shop at Aldi where they had some nice food on stock. I then rehoovered the car and cleaned the upholstery. I did a little weeding, stripped the bed and got it dried outside, ironed and back on. It's my favourite set this summer - all flowers. Lots of domestic stuff.
Today I'm looking after dgs2 for a couple of hours while dgs1 is at a party. Dsil is working. I shall enjoy that. Before that, I must make cookies for the boys to take with me. Later I'll visit mum. Have a good day all.

Good morning from an overcast Cornwall. A delightful time with my granddaughter yesterday; she learnt a new crochet stitch which was tricky but she's good at persevering. Today I'll take a walk to stretch my new knee. I'd like to get to church at 4o'clock, haven't been for weeks, but suspect I'll be resting with my feet up by then, watching a film instead. Next week maybe...

Morning, high cloud in S Hampshire, not a good nights sleep. Painful Grammaretto hope the antibees carry on working. Yesterday saw my son and partner briefly, they were borrowing a soup whizzer, I need to make sure it comes back!
I’ll pick up MrJ this afternoon and we’ll call in at a Crohns charity day being held in our local, there’s live music and an ice cream van, hope it stays dry for them all.
🦩🦩

Good morning all and it’s a beautiful start to the day here at the Suffolk coast. The moon last night was huge and orange. Anyone know what its name is? It shone over the sea as we walked back from our local pub.
The carvery was as delicious as ever . Our friend (Parkinsons) was very wobbly and nearly fell but Dh and our other friend held on to him and all was well.

Today we’ll go with the flow , gardening, reading and dog walking. Probably go to the forest as it’s cooler there for little pooch.

Take care and enjoy your Sundays. 🌸

Good morning all from an already warm North Leicestershire.

We had a lovely day with DGS3 and DGD1 yesterday. They are sparky and lively but seem to like coming here for a catch up here and a curry over the road. They are about to do GCSEs and A Levels, so lots to catch up on.

Today, we will drop them back to the train station then have a lazy day to recover.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning from s somerset, it should be dry and sunny but it is raining

I have changed my plans because of the weather, so will continue plodding on with making my new coat, maroon twill with a colourful cotton lining. I ordered a zip last night, which will arrive today. The instructions are in small squashed writing and very sparse. An ottobre pattern from 11 years ago, keeps my brain occupied

DPD have lost my large heavy parcel to my DS, contains lots of carving equipment, nothing sharp. I did not insure it as I have never had a problem with dpd. Worst thing was trying to get contact with them, poxy AI systems via chat, telephone etc, sending me into loops, same old information repeated time after time. It is consuming my mind as that stuff was precious but I am trying to move on and still have my fingers crossed that it might be found. Enquiry is in process

Have a good day

Morning all from West Oxfordshire. It should be reasonably warm, but who knows.

Church this morning at the smallest church in the Benefice.

Then lunch at an Italian followed by the cinema. We will be watching a play live from the National Theatre - Present Laughter by Noel Coward, with Andrew Scott playing the main role. It should be interesting.

Have a good day.

Good morning everyone from the Thames Estuary on our way to St Katherine's Dock. It's a bit cloudy and choppy but I'm doing OK 👍.
Enjoy Sunday and I'll report in tomorrow xx

Good morning from a sunny cooler South Downs.

Nothing planned to day which is good to know - so garden here I come! Next month is the beginning of the spring bulb planting season😡 I need much more summer first!

Next door has a large elder tree and last evening from my bedroom I could see at least 5 wood pigeons feasting on what looked like still green elderberries. They will get stomach ache I would have thought.

I think the skin cancer has returned on my face, which is a pain. I will leave it a while to see what progresses and then if necessary contact the doctor to see if I can get an appointment.

Enjoy your day all

Peace and harmony to the world

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. The sun is shining here and it’s going to be very warm. I slept really badly last night so will probably need a catch up sometime today.
DS and I had a lovely day yesterday; a very nice lunch at the pub in the bottom of the valley and then a walk. He left to go back to York about six and shortly afterwards I went over the road to join my neighbour for a drink. It was her birthday. Six of our other neighbours were also there and it was a very jolly evening.
Today I plan to do very little. DD and the menfolk leave for their holiday in Canada tomorrow. I shall miss them sorely for the next two weeks but as long as they have a fabulous time that’s all that matters.
Have the best day you can folks.
