Good Morning Thursday 12th September 2024

Good morning from a dull but dry Black Country.

Busy day yesterday, driving over to Solihull to visit MrJ's brother after his operation last week. Then out for a Nepalese meal with my walking group Supper Club.

Today, another walking group walk, then onto Mums to take her to town for ear wax removal. This seems to happen more frequently now.

I think you need to find another Opticians gM I have to have an eye test every two years. Someone with cataracts I imagine should be yearly?

Wishing you all the best day possible

Good morning from Malta where it is 30°C and breezy.

We went to Valletta yesterday as my friend wanted to visit the Grand Master’s Palace. It is donkeys years since I had been and we both enjoyed it and afterwards had a lovely lunch at a restaurant DD1 had recommended and my friend’s DD had given her the money for!

Sorry you had a wasted morning grandMattie. We don’t have free eye tests here so I usually go every two years and pay about €25.

Glad you are feeling better today Grandmabatty, hope your little chap is a good boy for you today.

Not sure what we are doing today, perhaps a wander round Mdina.

Wishing you all a good day.☀️

Good morning from a chilly hillside in south Glos, it’s 6° and a damp start here. Yesterday’s wind was bitterly cold but at least the washing dried before the downpours.
My shoulders and upper back are very painful, I tried making a chiropractor appointment (4 months wait) or an osteopath (no appointments for this year!). After trying eight different practices I gave up.
I slept very badly 🙄
Supposedly the carpenter is coming to finish the summerhouse today, doing the roof felt and guttering, but as the forecast is rain and thunderstorms from mid morning we’ll see….
The window cleaner will be here at 7, I will take the dog out then I am making mince and dumplings for dinner, a bread and butter pudding and I have a load of cooking apples to do something with. Sewing group this afternoon, looking forward to that!
Take care everyone 🌹

Morning everyone from a very chilly S E Essex.

The cleaning fairy’s are here first thing, I have a manicure and then go to M & S Foodhall to collect a parcel and pick up something for dinner.

The 9yr old is starting his once a week sleepover with us, it’s now Thursday as his 8am school start is on a Friday.

Hope you have a good day folks 🙋‍♀️

Morning all from a cool West Oxfordshire. It’s still officially summer, isn’t it?

My hairdresser cut my hair beautifully yesterday. I no longer look like a Dulux dog.

It is the WI annual summer outing today. We are going on a canal boat trip and will have a cream tea! It had better not rain too much.

Have a good day everyone.

Pant, FGT is the new name Urms has adopted…
Congratulations, Ash. Your community seems very cultural with the shows so frequent and well attended.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 4°! And dry. GrandMattie a couple of years ago, my optician put me on annual check ups because of developing cataracts. Three years is ridiculous.
Yesterday was a wasted day because I was unwell. Lots of sleeping and resting generally. Thank you for your good wishes.
Today I'm doing a childcare day. I had swapped my Tuesday for Thursday because I had been at the eye clinic and knew I wouldn't be able to drive for a while. I'm feeling better than yesterday and won't have to pick up dgs1 from school as he has a play date. So a wee day with dgs2. Have a good day all.

Good morning from a chilly (8deg!) but fine Torbay with sunshine promised but also windy, yet again!

Welcome back, Pantglas2 and I hope you can enjoy having some different escapes. FGTis the new name for your Spanish accomplice!!

I would have been annoyed with the optician, too, grandMattie. Three years doesn’t sound frequent enough.

This week it’s the Agatha Christie Festival in Torbay with various plays and other events honouring her memory. For the first time since before Covid, our 200+ seater theatre has proudly displayed this sign (see photo) for two consecutive evenings!

Have a great day and I hope the Glasgow grans had fun! 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning Mick and all who follow from a cooler north Wales coast - i must still be on Spanish time - this is my second chamberpot ☕️!

Lovely to see Susan back (pob hwyl hefo’r gwersi Cymraeg) and great that so many of you are off on your travels. Have the Urms returned from beach 🏖️ sweeping duties yet? She’ll be promoted to supervisor now that I’ve been prematurely relocated…😢

Lovely pics from Mizuna and FGT (a newbie ?) - there’s something about a walk on the beach isn’t there? I don’t do it that often here although we’re only a few hundred yards away!

I do hope you have more time than I did Grammaretto - three weeks was tight 😱. I didn’t realise how much ‘stuff’ we had and I thought I was clean…seems I wasn’t after all! Luckily the purchasers wanted it left furnished so only personal things to sort and pack - car was loaded to the gunnels!

Hope to see pics of the Glesca Grannies meet up - would love to do one of those Miss Marydoll!

Another unboxing Day for me - hope everyone else has a more interesting one 😉

Good morning from Bristol. Wasn’t it cold yesterday, with that polar wind? More today…
I went into town for my eye test yesterday and wasted the entire morning. I was furious. When I “registered”, I was told I wasn’t due for a test (I hadn’t been called) and had been put down as needing testing every 3 years !!! I didn’t listen to any further talking and thanked the woman before flouncing out with metaphorical steam coming out of my ears.
When I’ve calmed down, I shall go back and say that, at my age and with a developing cataract, I should be tested more frequently.
I had a quiet afternoon, some sewing, made a curry for dinner, watched the last of the Zelenskyy programme. What an admirable man!
Quiet today.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩
