Glad to see you again, FriedGreenTomatoes - your pseudonyms for your grandchildren were the clue for me. Belated birthday happies! 🍾💐🥂

Good morning from a cloudy muggy Cambs. I just crept in but have been out and about this morning. Now home to potter. Looking like rain so maybe indoor jobs now!
Wishing all a good day

Good morning from a wet Co Armagh,
I’m getting organised to real life after my holiday last week
The holiday on Co Mayo was lovely , beautiful part of the world and we were blessed with the best weather !
Unfortunately I still have my ear infection ( aren’t subtitles a mixed blessing ! )
I have an actual face to face appointment with the Doctor shortly , I’m hoping this results in appropriate medication
Nice to have internet here , it was very hit and miss when away
Enjoy the day

Good morning from West Sussex where it has been raining and the garden looks happy 🙂

We went to Brighton (western edge) yesterday to visit DD1 and DD3 who live within a mile of each other. They are both having major work done on their houses - DD3 has an almost completed new kitchen, big new window/sliding door out to the garden and downstairs loo. It all looks great. They also had chimney breast removed so more space in bedroom and kitchen. GDDs were full of excitement and got their dad, uncle and big cousins involved in garden games while DH and I caught up with DDs recent trip to see her sister in Scotland. It was gently autumnal with apples ripening on the old apple tree and crab apples glowing on the recently planted young tree.

That was the first ‘day out’ I’ve had since my head injury (3 weeks ago) and it was lovely. I fell asleep on the sofa when I got home but no ill effects apart from tiredness. I don’t know whether I will have any follow up from the hospital but I will go and see my GP in another week (if I can get an appointment).

I have a list of ‘small’ jobs to do today - clean out the cupboards in our small campervan, finish the dusting and sorting in DH’s study and do some much neglected mending.

Hope all who had bad nights survive the day. Hope your injection is just taking its time to help your knee, Ash.
Taichinan 💐
Glad to see Blossoming back. And the gran formerly known as U……!
Hope you meet up with some friends in Bicester Mick.
Enjoy your scenic bus journey, Stilllearning.

Taichinan 💐. Cossy lovely photos. Congratulations to the happy couple

Good morning all

I wish you all a fruitful, happy and healthy week flowers

I’m a bit hungover after my daughters wedding yesterday to the beautiful Sherri. Such a lovely day

Grandmachrisy47 Mon 02-Sept-24 10:13:49

Missed @Taichanan* post. Silly me!! Yes, welcome back.

Grandmachrisy47 Mon 02-Sept-24 10:12:13

Morning from a dull, damp Co Durham. At last I’ve got something to say 😂. Dgd and the granddogs came for a sleepover last night. Her mum goes back to work today but dgd starts back to school on Wednesday. She’s just had breakfast in bed #soft grandma. Her and I will lunch in a local Italian restaurant as a pre school treat.
I’ve been reading posts everyday but think I need a notebook to record everyone’s doings, so I’ll not mention individuals. Hope all with health and family problems get relief. (Have to admit I’m not sure who Fgt is.)
Have a good day everyone.

Welcome back as a friend green tomato Urms.

Ladyleftfieldlover Mon 02-Sept-24 09:54:49

Hello FGT! I remember that film.

Jaxjacky Mon 02-Sept-24 09:50:27

Hurray FGT good to see you back 👏👏👏

baubles Mon 02-Sept-24 09:31:48

FGT welcome back smile (I loved that book).

monk08 Mon 02-Sept-24 09:25:42

Welcome back Friedgreen 👋
Hope you had a great holiday and I think you said it was your big birthday while away so belated birthday wishes 🎂.
Enjoy time with L'il miss.

GrannySomerset Mon 02-Sept-24 09:22:44

Hope you are both feeling better for the holiday, FGT. Good to see you back under any name.

Taichnan 💐

Beechnut Mon 02-Sept-24 09:18:20

Your (hopefully temporary) new name made me laugh 😂
Happy Birthday for last week 🎉🍷

FriedGreenTomatoes Mon 02-Sept-24 09:14:56

Good morning everyone. It’s me! Back from my happy place and waiting (very patiently) to be allowed back in under my old user name! I feel disingenuous doing this to be honest. I seem to be in limbo land with Calli and it’s SO frustrating.

I’m minding L’il Miss today & tomorrow (the Boy Wonder less so - he’s Year 8 now!) as their mum’s school is back today so she’s in work.

I think kitty said the mods are looking at our technical difficulties. I hope they sort it soon!

Good morning from a dull, overcast Durham. After babysitting DGS2 yesterday, I brought DGS1 here for a sleepover. He’s very sensitive to noises and forgot his noise-cancelling earphones, so he ended up sleeping with me - he never stopped squirming!
Today, we are going to a local farm (inset day), which he loves and there’s lots to see and do, then when I take him home, I’ll get DD2’s Little Dog for the rest of the week. I’ll walk him on the way home, then collapse into bed!
Best wishes to all. X

Taichinan Mon 02-Sept-24 09:06:57

Good morning all from the Angus coast where it is grey and wet and miserable. Very fitting, as today is the 30th anniversary of DH's death. I still think of him and miss him every single day.
So today is just like any other really - things to do and people to see.
Have a good day everyone and if you happen to see the sun, tell it I'm missing it!
