Good Morning Monday 22nd July 2024

Happy Birthday GrannyGravy 🎂🎉

Good morning Mick and everyone from rainy Carlisle. Another delightful summer day!
I visited a different garden centre yesterday, mostly to look for 2 small shrubs for a couple of planters. I came away with 2 dwarf conifers, not my ideals but good enough. The stock is looking a bit tired now so I may find something I like better when new autumn stock comes in. If so, the current ones will do fine in the garden.
Today I am awaiting the appliance engineer who is supposed to be here this morning. My rarely used oven threw a hissy fit when baking a joint for my recent visitors and shorted a circuit which also supplied my broadband. Luckily the oven had a twin-the house came supplied with 2 single ovens, side by side. The second one had never been used so finally came in useful.
I've had to pay an upfront fee which includes any parts.
The first repairer I tried, a big firm, wouldn't take on the job unless I took out a care plan. I don't do care plans! Well, not for kitchen equipment.
I'll get on with bed changing and vacuuming whilst I await him.

A speedy recovery to you, greyduster, I hope your symptoms aren't going to be too bad.

The best possible day to you all.

Another beautiful sunny morning. Hello to all.

Apart from some shopping nothing I have to do today apart from enjoy the garden and the weather.

Mizuna the gulls are not quiet here today I've had 6 in my small garden we don't normally get any boy were they noisy.
Enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️.

We have seagulls on the school field and sometimes in our garden when the sea is rough, they are noisy and rather bullying towards our resident birds.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. The heatwave for what it was has passed but its not raining.
My hand is definitely improving but I can't make pots, drive or knit yet.
Df mum has had a stroke. Things could be worse.

Brook how lovely to have all your family around.
Marydoll so sorry about your cough. I'm sure you've tried everything 🙄
Greyduster that definitely could be covid. Rest up, drink lots and take paracetamol.
Happy birthday 🎂 Gingster and GrannyGravy

A very late good morning everyone from a dreich Angus coast.

Morning from South Lanarkshire, have just finished my porridge having decided to wait no longer for DGD to surface!
I’m not wakening her because she will open her mouth with her eyes and talk till she closes them again tonight!

Happy Birthday Gingster and GrannyGravy, enjoy your celebrations.
Hope you recover soon from whatever it is Greyduster

Weather here uncertain (for a change) so we’ll see how our day pans out. So glad to have my girl here!

Wishing everyone a good day.

Good morning everyone from a dull and damp Northampton. Had decided to go to Milton Keynes today, but when I woke up very early, decided I was still far too sleepy and tired, so went back to bed! I have put it off till Thursday instead and changed my Sainsbury's delivery to Wednesday to accommodate the change.

No yoga this morning anyway, so am taking it slowly today - I also seem to have a bit of an eye infection as well, caused I think by hay fever, which has felt bad this weekend.

Haven't read the thread yet so going back to do that later.
Have a good Monday everyone.

Ye gods and little fishes!! That went too soon and it was my fault - if you press 'send' that's what happens
Sorry I've been absent lately but yesterday each time I got to the end of a longish entry a "This page is not available" flashed on the screen and everything disappeared. After the second time, I gave up.
Anyway I didn't have much to say. Tai chi on the beach was glorious on Saturday and 22 people turned up to enjoy the blue sky and gentle breeze and a couple of sets, followed by tea and sticky buns at the beach pavillion for 12 of us. A lovely way to spend the morning.
greyduster that sounds suspiciously like the strain of covid I've just had I'm afraid. It was very low key - I had every symptom but not badly. But recovery is very low key as well! I'm into my third week and the cough has gone now, but the exhaustion lingers on. Just listen to your body and get plenty of rest
So, nothing else to report and I shall away and get some very late breakfast.
Enjoy all your busyness everyone and I hope you manage to get a plumber grannysomerset .

Happy birthday Gingster and GG
