Good Morning Tuesday 6th August 2024

Good morning all from the Isle of Skye. What a change from the weekend. Warm sunshine yesterday with a walk to the beach. My Gaelic course is quite intensive but I am surviving, just.
Tonight there's to be a concert. Last night a pub quiz.

Happy to hear Baubles is home from hospital after a big scare.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning Mick and all from Sunnyside northwest coast.
Quiet day yesterday as the back was complaining after my long day out on Sunday.
In bed last night after I turned the light out, I felt something behind me just like the cat’s rhythmic pawing and I even spoke to her, but she wasn’t there and in fact had been out all night and I don’t have a cat flap. Rather strange and not the first time either.

Tonight I go to hear DGD sing and DS accompany her on guitar. Tomorrow to the south to stay with DD for a few days.
I hope your ECG goes well Mick and thoughts to all🌺

Good morning Mick and everyone from sunny Carlisle.
Yesterday the sun didn't win out and it was heavy cloud all day which finally rained out in the evening.
I did get out in the garden after lunch and did a bit of renovation work and planting in my gravel garden. I still have a few plants to go in and am rather puzzled about where they might fit.
Today, a bit of laundry, more housework and some necessary admin. Maybe a walk....the farmer has moved stock into the nearby fields and I'm keen to inspect them. Plus I need a walk, my boys have been lecturing me on the necessity!

I hope you all have a good day.

Good morning everyone from a dull and damp Northampton; we have had rain overnight, but it is forecast to clear up later.

A busy day yesterday: yoga first thing, towels and bedding washed and dried on the line; a good hoovering downstairs; and a good amount of the edges trimmed around my back lawn. A lot of edges to do as lots of paved areas and paths to go round. Next time my gardener comes I think I shall ask him to strim them.

Panic mid afternoon as my pedigree indoor cats made a bid for freedom and escaped into the garden after I failed to shut the back door properly! A few heart-stopping moments - they are not street-wise cats and only usually go out well supervised and with walking jackets on. They had a good explore for half an hour or so, and were eventually persuaded to return indoors. Luckily it never occurs to them to scale the fence and they just seem to treat the garden as an outside room.

This morning I need to wash and dry my mattress topper, then remake the bed. An early lunch then out to join my walking group.
Easy dinner, a home-made chilli from the freezer, just need to cook some rice, then settle down to watch more Olympics.

Lots of 'busyness' going on today so I will wish everyone a good day.

Sending best wishes to Baubles, hope you are feeling better soon 💐

Morning from a drizzly S Hants, better than nothing, some painful admin gMattie.
You’ll be fizzing all day Urms 🙂
That’s beautiful Grammaretto what a view.
Voluntary phone yesterday involved a safeguarding issue that took a while for our chair to address and I picked up a sad call, so many have no family or friends to help them.
We were appalling at quiz, I’ll blame our absent team member.
No real plans today which means I can avoid housework no longer.
Pleased you’re out of hospital baubles

Good morning from cloudy West Sussex. No sign of rain.

I managed to set back my recovery from pyelonephritis by falling face down on to the paving in the back garden on Saturday 🤕. No major harm done but a cut above my eyebrow which wouldn’t stop bleeding. Poor DH struggled to stick down the steristrips. The paving looked like a crime scene.

Just had news of Scottish DGSs National 5 results. They did well, especially, given their challenges of autism and severe dyslexia. Having support during the exams with reading out of the questions and ‘scribing’ has helped a lot. I hope the other Scottish grandchildren have good news.

I’m glad the rain has stopped in Skye, Grammaretto. Don’t work too hard!

Sorry to hear Baubles has been in hospital. Hope you recover fully. Your DH too!

Mick, I hope your ECG shows a good result. Enjoy the Olympic cycling 🙂

Marydoll, sorry you’ve been continuing to struggle with your health but it’s lovely to read of good times with Dolly and Babydoll. I must reply to your message re Glesca Grans.

Jaxjacky, that’s a very worthwhile service you and fellow volunteers provide - a lifeline for people on their own.

Hope Urmstongran and DH have a wonderful time in Malaga.

I’m crying off our church-run dementia friendly cafe today. DH will go. We haven’t had many people coming recently. Maybe once a month is not often enough but sadly there are not enough volunteers to do more. I will potter at home (but maybe just sit in the garden if the sun breaks through).

Morning from South Lanarkshire. Happy holidays tomorrow Urms, last minute preparations are part of the fun aren’t they?

Beautiful photo Grammaretto, I really admire your ‘can do’
outlook!

I am still waiting for exam results here, DGS discovered this morning that he hadn’t registered properly for results by text so the wait goes on! I hope the post is more reliable in Connel than it is here!

Somehow the morning is running away with me so I’ll just wish everyone a good day, I must get organised!, (my ipse digit)

dixit!

Grammaretto I love Skye, and that is a wonderful photo! Thank you.
