Good Morning Thursday 12th September 2024

Good morning from a cool but sunny NE.
SIL took me shopping yesterday and then we did bits and bobs on the computers.
Dinner was steak with courgette Provencal, green beans and potatoes. We talked about the proms and the ones they had been to and how much they had enjoyed them.
We were looking at upcoming concerts and saw that Einaudi is doing a tour, GD2 plays his compositions and would love to attend. We shall see if it is possible, it would involve a trip to London during term time.
Sister and BIL are going to visit this afternoon, she is not well. The vitamin B12 injections are not doing their job quite yet, it does take a while to feel the benefit.
Have a good day.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a blue sky but very nippy South Yorkshire - currently 7 degrees. A good session at our writers group yesterday. We all had something new to put forward. I went into Next on the way home and ordered a new jacket I’ve had my eye on. They didn’t have my size in the store so let’s hope it fits! I’ll pick it up tomorrow.
Walking group this morning and then to DD’s for lunch and to inspect their swish new window blinds.
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning from a lovely sunny Suffolk but I suspect it is chilly outside.

I enjoyed coffee and a delicious cheese scone with 4 friends from my class yesterday in the Adnams cafe which was heaving. I’ve never seen it so busy and I think most were holiday makers of a ‘certain age’. Once the school holidays are over,Southwold is suddenly like a child free zone.

I have my stretch class soon and then I’m off to Norwich for lunch with a friend who is a work colleague of years ago, so very much looking forward to seeing her as we usually only meet up every 3 months or so.

Hope today is a good one for all.

Seriously chilly this morning but sunny so maybe a bit of garden pottering when it warms up a little. Glad the Glasgow meet up went well and envious thoughts to all those enjoying a sunny getaway.

Good morning from Shropshire.Dry at the moment but showers forecast.

Yesterday I put my autumn decorations and cushions out while DH dealt with the bag of apples our neighbour gave us.He made a beautiful pie and lots of stewed apples for the freezer.

Today I will sort out cards and gifts for the eight family birthdays coming up🤦🏼‍♀️DH isn’t feeling great after the second shingles jab so will have a quiet day.

I wish I lived nearer to attend the Glasgow meet up!

I have yearly eye appointments due to eye issues, DH has two yearly appointments.Three years is too long grandMattie.

Have the best day you can everyone🦩

Good morning Mick and everyone from sunny but very chilly Carlisle. The upstairs heating circuit came on this morning, the first time this season. It's set quite a bit lower than downstairs as I dislike a warm bedroom.
It was a quiet day indoors yesterday, trying to keep down my recurring infection. Exasperated, I put in an e-consult to the surgery, now I have an appointment with the doc at a Well Woman clinic. I'm not optimistic, I guess it's one of those things you have to live with but if that's all I have to live with...well, I'm lucky.

Today I'm popping into town for oddments. Really, I just want to get out and enjoy the sun even if it's cold. After that, a catch up with my magazines and I should check out my food cupboards for out of date items.

grandMattie, there seems to be a consensus here--3 years is ridiculous, only appropriate for a young, fit person. Older folk can be developing a variety of serious conditions as I'm sure you know.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny 🌞Northampton, but having just put the food waste bin out, it feels very chilly. At least no rain forecast. We had torrential showers all yesterday afternoon.

Couldn't get going with the tasks I had set myself yesterday, and it was after lunch that I actually got down to them.
The biggest one was to do something with the apples I had.harvested from my espalier, So spent most of the afternoon peeling and slicing, then gently stewing them. I now have a large casserole dish of cooked apples, which taste delicious! Shall have some with my porridge today and tomorrow and will freeze the rest.
I also managed to defrost the kitchen freezer which meant putting everything from that one into the garage freezer, and then refilling a few hours later.

Hairdresser this morning, so will need to bus to the village, and a Sainsbury's delivery mid afternoon.
Bolognese and tagliatelle for dinner tonight.

GM, my independent optician calls me annually for an NHS eye test. I have read that if you have developing cataracts you are due a check up every year.

Have a pleasant day everyone.

Good morning from cool South Lanarkshire.

It was another enjoyable afternoon with the Glasgow Grans yesterday, including two who were there for the first time.

I managed to crochet another few trefoils last night but won’t make it to the yarn group tonight as it’s our parish meeting and I like to keep up with whatever is happening.

Daft dug has an appointment with the groomer today and I must pop into the dentist to change an upcoming appointment.

Wishing for a better day for all those under par for whatever reason and happy holidays to those lucky enough to be in the sun.

Good morning all. I don't know whether it's comforting or sad that everyone is experiencing this cold spell! 6° here and forecast to reach the giddy heights of 13° later - but I read that we should be back to the 'seasonal normal' by the weekend. We'll see.
Glad to hear everyone's outings were fun yesterday, including the Glesga grannies. I would love to join, but my hearing precludes it. I was struggling with our little foursome yesterday - they're so patient with me, even when they have to keep repeating for me. I thought I had totally misheard the subject of one of the threads of chat as to my ear they seemed to be talking about funerals and crematoriums - they were!! Rather premature but maybe appropriate as we were celebrating the birthdays of two of us - 77 and 83! The 83 is me - how can that be. Sometimes I feel it these days, and my mirror can be very unkind at times ..... Actually my birthday isn't until the 29th so until then I'm a sprightly 82 😉.
I must dash off now and get ready for tai chi - it will be an 'interesting' class as I'm going through a very little sleep phase at the moment. Have a good day all 🍁🍂🥶💤

Good morning from a dull looking Glasgow.
I had a lovely time with the Glescagrannies yesterday who made me so welcome. Sorry if I talked tooooo much….a very bad habit! 😬
I went home to find my son had already arrived for his wee overnight with us …..lots more chat 🥰. He’s off again in the next hour but it was great to catch up.
We’re going to have a wee day out today ….probably head through to the east coast. I have line dancing tonight so another busy enjoyable day.
Enjoy ur day.

Good mornin' all!

It's 8.9C. here, a lovely cold feeling!

After falling down the stairs on the 10th, the facial bruising/swelling is now going coal black and I managed to get some kip last night!

It's 9:11am and am a carer in a home for the adult disabled, here at my desk with a huge mug of PG Tips, have got a long day ahead!

Have a great day all of you!
