Good Morning Thursday 29th August 2024

Good morning from s somerset, sunny and dry today

Today will mostly be spent upstairs, I am going to carry on with filing sewing fabric stash, am doing it properly this time, with bigger swatches on information sheets, in ring files. Obviously also outside as I like to get some sun and air. Weeding my new, already fruitful, new raspberries for starters

Fab day yesterday, so fast (for me) on my bike but scary thought of losing hard-won fitness over winter. Son is sending me info on staying fit indoors, using short sharp methods as my boredom, with indoor exercise, has a very low threshold

Easy meals today

Have a good day

Morning all from a bright and sunny S E Essex. Cleaners are here first thing, then I should really pop into Chelmsford to get gifts for my sister’s birthday. I have a manicure and pedicure appointment late afternoon.

Lovely table Ashcombe hope your knee feels better after the injection.

Have a good day folks 🙋‍♀️

Morning Mick, morning All from a brightening corner of Somerset.

Wandered to a to tiny cafe off the tourist route yesterday. We had a sea wall table and simply sat enjoying the sun. Today we’re off (far too) early to take our grandson out for the day. It’s a rare treat for us, hope he agrees!

Hope the injection helps ash and you find your daughter is less poorly than you fear kitty. The dementia experience sounds a real challenge grandmattie.

Must get a wriggle on. Hope Thursday is kind to us all,

Yes, Mizuna; it will soon be littered with “stuff”, no doubt! The drawer can be accessed from either side.

No, I’ve had three physio sessions, grandMattie so this is the next stage on the (very long!) journey to see an orthopaedic consultant. 🤞

Good morning all from a sunny Black country.
We have a funeral first thing a former angling member of DH fishing club.
Meeting friends this evening at the club.
Enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️.

Good morning from a bright Cornwall, sunny again today, so will wash my latest charity shop buys and hang them out to dry. Will spend most of the day on my neighbour's patio doing more weed-clearing.

The photo is a couple of years old but new to me; my daughter-in-law sent it yesterday. It tickles me because my little ones chose to investigate the spooky WWII weapons store, now sealed up, when at the top of those steps is a panoramic vista of a Cornish bay complete with lighthouse plus acres of parkland to play in. 😁

Smart table Ash. I'd have that covered with books in no time, despite resolving to keep it clear. 😂

Good morning all from a brightening North Leicestershire.

Hoping to visit DD1 who is still in hospital. With luck, she will be in a bed on a ward rather than on the floor in a corridor. Her temperature is coming down but she still feels really ill.

Apart from that, I want to make some bread, repot some house plants and we have a Sainsbury's delivery late afternoon.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning from Malta where we had a much needed downpour yesterday and, apparently, a storm overnight which I slept through.

Love your table, Ash, hope the injection helps your knee. 🙏🏻

The boys were so good yesterday although littlest is very concerned as to where Mama has gone, he keeps asking if she’s in the car.

I’m just having a quick coffee before going to look after them. It will be a long day but I will enjoy being with them.

DD1 and her little dog are making the long journey from the US to Malta which entails three flights. She has recently split up with her partner so I worry about her being so far from home. Although it’s getting on for twenty years that she’s been in the States I will never really get used to it.

Wishing you all a good day but always thinking of those for whom the days are a challenge.☀️

Good morning from a dry Bristol. My washing is done, now needs hanging out.,,
Your coffee table thing looks lovely, Ash. It’s nice to have helpful neighbours, isn’t it? I hope the injection helps your knee. Has it been replaced, or are you waiting for an op?
I had a “dementia” experience yesterday, having been volunteered by the vicar. It is all part of a new project for “later life” centring in the church accommodation - two nice rooms - started by several later life organisations and the two local churches.
This involved wearing prickly insoles, builders gloves, headsets with constant garbled speech, glasses with limited vision and disco lights, then given instructions like “pair the socks”. Talk about disorienting…. Some of the pointers given were helpful.
It was more tiring than I expected, so spent a quiet afternoon. I’m did make a large ragu, some of which I ate for dinner. The rest will be frozen and trotted out in the week.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning Michael and all GNs. Hope today is one of the good days, Mick. A lovely sunrise this morning in South Yorkshire and I have been awake since half past three. I was tired last night, too, having walked round the country park yesterday. A different kind of walk this morning and then lunch with DD and I must call in on my niece on the way home.
Have the best day you can, folks.

Good morning from a fine, calm Torbay.

Yesterday morning a kind neighbour helped me to put together an item of furniture bought from Dunelm. He owns a removal firm so it was familiar territory for him. After living here for 10 years, I’m finally getting rid of old pieces of furniture which were moved here “for the time being”! I have more arriving next week.

Today, I’m due at the physio department at Torbay Hospital for a steroid injection in my arthritic knee. Exercises have helped a little but, in recent months, I’ve needed to use a stick if out walking and struggle to put weight on it when I get up in the night because the knee has stiffened. The joys of…!

Wishing everyone a good day, especially Mick. 🦩💐🦩🥰🦩
