Good Morning Monday 30th September 2024

Morning from a damp and dull S Hants, it rained overnight, I was unaware even though I was coughing in my sleep apparently.
Yesterday my daughter and children called in after football and left with a board game and a dvd from the loft.
Today is voluntary phone, then quiz, the last one for now.
How frustrating for your daughter brook it’s very draining and time consuming.

Good morning Mick and everyone from a very grey Carlisle. Worse is to come apparently.
Fortunately I don't have to go out, it's my day of breaking the back of essential housework and laundry.
Yesterday was very quiet but I kept my watch happy by being more mobile and achieving my daily goals. I am slowly upping my daily steps to the goal agreed with my physio who I'll see this week.

Another belated Happy Birthday to you Taichinan. I hope you enjoyed the day.

Do consult the docs if you are actually concerned Mick. You may just need some dietary advice.

The best possible day to you all.

Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow, where it is 11°C.

It is our forty seventh wedding anniversary today, We have put our plans to go out on hold, due to the fact that I had a particularly bad night, with coughing. Mr MD deserves a medal for putting up with my chronic ill health since even before we were married.
I had cracked ribs on my wedding day, due to coughing and then spent six weeks in ICU.. It did not bode well for the future! 😉

I had to come out of Mass yesterday, due to the constant coughing, it was disturbing everyone. I think an overdose of incense may have caused it!
I cannot believe how kind the new P.P is, he is the exact opposite of the former He is perturbed by how we all nervous we are, about making mistakes. People are now returning to the parish, having previously left.

Susan and & GMB, having been in a similar position, I feel so sad for you. 💐

Mick, there could be various reasons for your health loss, not all sinister. You appear to be anxious about it, so perhaps it is time to speak to your clinicians and seek some advice.

Finally, belated birthday wishes to Taichiban. I hope you had a lovely day.
I wish you all a pleasant, day. For those on holiday, enjoy and best wishes for all, who are struggling.

Nothing planned for a cold grey day apart from agreeing with the gardener where to plant all the new bulbs I have bought - and then doing it. It feels positive to be thinking ahead whilst trying to ignore the thought of winter

llfl, when I kept bees and had honey, I made my own labels, glued on with acrylic stuff - children’s or wood. You could use blank sheets of self-adhesive labels if you like
Just follow the legalities, such as font size and address etc., and he should be fine.
The labels are very individual and a heap cheaper!

Good morning everyone from sunny Málaga. Highs of 32°C are expected today. I love it because it’s not humid.

I’ve got the sheets and pillowcases in the machine just spinning now then will peg them out. Breakfast then into the gardens again is the game plan. A perfect way to spend a Monday.

I can’t believe it’s the last day of September. Summer months have flown by for us as we’ve been so delightfully busy. 🌞

We think we may stroll down to the marina for dinner and I plan to enjoy a porn star martini first while enjoying the beautiful view. ⛴️

Good morning from a grey NE where rain is forecast.
I should do the washing and ironing today as there are appointments for the rest of the week.
Had a quiet day yesterday watching TV and doing crosswords. DD rang from Brussels and we talked for an hour. She had not heard from her niece at university or about the younger one getting into the rock band.
Happy belated birthday Taichinan.
Have a good day everyone.

Good Morning all and Happy Anniversary Marydoll.
47 years wed is an achievement and we are one year behind you. 😊
❤️👩🏻‍🦰👨💐🍀 🥂

Happy anniversary, the MDs. We would have been the same on 15 October!

Good morning from a grey Glasgow!
Happy anniversary Marydoll 💐
Church cafe service went well yesterday. Everyone enjoyed the change of style but unfortunately it didn’t make much difference to the numbers….all the younger families are still awol!
Not sure what we’ll do today…it’s a holiday Monday here which always makes everything seem different….not like when we were working and were desperate for these extra holidays!
Thinking of everyone going through worries with family.

Good morning all and Happy Anniversary to the Dolls 🎉🎊
We made our 47th seven years ago and while no celebrating was possible, it was a good feeling and a time to reflect and be thankful.
So it’s another wet Monday! Whoulda guessed?
Can’t really complain, we had lovely weather over the weekend but I am keeping my fingers crossed that the roads are clear (they seem extra busy) as I need to pop some laundry over to my friend in a village just 5 miles away who was flooded out last week and will be moving to rented accommodation for the next 3-6months.
Hope to make Art History this afternoon too as while Zoom is better than nothing, it’s not the same as human contact with friends.
Wishing you all a pleasant day, respite from your troubles and safe journeys if out and about.

Happy anniversary Marydoll 💐

Good morning from South Lanarkshire and belated birthday wishes to Taichinain, I hope you had a lovely day.

I’ve had a really nice weekend with my friend in Seamill. No rain, a blustery walk along the front in Largs, a visit to Nardini’s, lots of chat and laughter and a wonderfully clear view of lovely Arran.

DD4 has been here overnight so that’s been good too, we had a good catch up last night and she has exasperatedly taken charge of my ongoing chaotic dealings with BT and Sky. They won’t know what’s hit them😂!

Chair yoga this morning and lunch afterwards with my neighbour. She’s been on holiday in the Channel Islands and I’m looking forward to hearing about it.

Good wishes to all especially those with extra worries just now, I’m thinking about you.

Good morning everyone from Severnside. It’s wet outside, no rain forecast for the rest of the day.

My Saturday was busy is. I hoovered out the car and gave it a swill over. I then cut down a big shrub at the top of the garden. Yesterday I went and did a top up shop and ended up buying more than I intended then went to a model train exhibition. Today I’ve got house tidying and sewing.

Happ wedding anniversary to you both Marydoll 🥂 my neighbours are nearly halfway through sixty plus wed.

Have the best day you can all 🌻

Many congratulations on your WA today Mr&MrsMD a real achievement.

Where is Whitewave these days? I hope all is well. She discontinued her long running thread which seemed unusual and concerning. I loved hearing about her garden.

Good Morning from a wet Co Armagh, not looking forward to this mornings shopping !
Happy Anniversary to Marydoll it would have been ours on the 7th .I remember it was very foggy as we left the cake over to the hotel , my hairstyle collapsed in the damp and got redone in the morning 🤣

Good morning all,
Wet and soggy here today, but not too cold yet.
Congratulations Marydoll and Mr MD 💐🎉🍾.

A very happy anniversary to you both Marydoll.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders where it's raining.
I was up too early to drive to the airport and deposit my young helper. She's off to warmer France. She has been a great help but felt the cold badly.
We Scots are made of stern stuff I reckon.
I then had my last tetanus jag for 3 years.
Art appreciation U3A group later. We are going to an exhibition in Edinburgh. Tonight it's history
society.
Meanwhile I think I'll have a quick nap.
Happy anniversary to the Dolls
🥂 🤎

I hope taichinan had a good birthday.

Good morning Mick and all from the wet northwest. Nice day in the city with pianist friend yesterday, although my lunch was dreadful in a place I usually enjoy a good meal. A mushroom pie, stodgy, accompanied by an over baked Yorkshire pudding ? and cold vegetables. My friend had delicious kebabs, just my luck. He is on antidepressants and Propanol and was rather switched off, but looked well.

I bought more books I don’t need in a quirky second hand shop that often has the obscure authors I like.
I came back earlier than usual, the back held out well after it’s recent drama, but had had enough. Then a FaceTime with soprano friend who is moving house and I can never get a word in.

Have a word with someone about your weight loss Mick, thoughts to Susan and all with worries of any kind 🌺

Happy Anniversary Marydoll and Mr Md

Good morning all very belatedly from a grey Angus coast. Thank you so very much for all the Birthday messages - I've had such a lovely time. I am now officially 83 years old! For some reason I thought I was 83 last year so I've gained a bonus year of life 😁 and had a hilarious (to those around us 😉) conversation with a friend of the same vintage as we did the maths to prove that no, we are not 84 this year!
Anyway, whatever the age I'm celebrating, lunch out with DGD1 was lovely. She's the one who I used to call Dancing GD but since achieving her degree she has said she doesn't want to take dance any further so I can't call her that any more sadly. She'll find her way eventually I'm sure, but I do worry for her.
The drive across to Perth was beautiful yesterday. As you say grandmattie, the trees are rapidly changing and the beech trees are that beautiful shade of russet now. So glorious and heart-warming as the sun catches them. Like you, I hope the autumn storms stay away long enough for us to appreciate them fully!
A very happy 47th to Mr and Mrs Doll - happy memories, and more to make. Your new PP sounds lovely, by the way, and will make all the work you do for the parish so much more pleasant.
So sorry for your ongoing concerns about your mums, Susan and Grandmabatty and about your own health, Mick and Bonnybanko
Keep on enjoying the lovely sunny warmth FGT and Sar - it's so lovely to hear about.
Have a lovely day everyone, wherever you are x

Happy Anniversary Mr & Mrs MDoll 💐🥂

Happy Anniversary Mary doll and Mr Doll. 💐🍾.

Late again!! Had an early hair appointment for a colour before my sister in-law and I head to Scotland on Thursday for 4 days in Kinross. Hoping to have a day in Perth to visit the new museum.
Belated birthday greetings to those I’ve missed. Happy Anniversary to the Marydolls. Hope those not feeling well improve quickly and those with worries get relief.
