Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark with signs of a wet night here in brackley.
Today I will hopefully get the bus to Bicester and plan to meet others I know.
On the health front , will stick to the plan suggested by the nursing team at the JR.
Take Care,
Mick

Good afternoon,
It’s a beautiful day here, if a bit cooler, but no hurricanes I’m pleased to say 🤣.
Happy anniversary Kitty and Mr Kitty 💐🍾.
Sorry to hear you’re feeling so unwell Marydoll, and you, too Kalu and hope you feel improvement very soon.

Hello everyone!

It's 10.5C here in little Appleby which has shot up from the 8.9 it was when I clocked in for work at 6 this morning!

I'm on a break and have just bought a birthday card for our neighbour, Marion who will be the grand 100 on the 11th October!

Her hubby died yonks ago and she continues to live alone and do her own washing and shopping! She's up the road multiple times a day because while her mind is still sharp she's also forgetful and will go into the local chemist for her medicine, put them down at home somewhere then the next day she's back in the chemist asking for her medicine as she forgot that she had it the previous day!

She's absolutely gorgeous with a brilliant sense of humour!

Have a good one all of you!

The sun is out!!!!!
Yesterday I took the Big vacuum cleaner out so heavy!!
Where does all the dust come from.
Nothing planned for today.
Have the best day everyone.

MaryD and Kalu, there is so much love in my heart for you both. With hope and wishes that things get better

Redcar Thu 10-Oct-24 10:16:00

So sorry to hear you’re poorly maryd, hope things improve soon. Thoughts with you and kalu, the “new normal” is very hard to get through. flowers

Happy Anniversary kitty&Mrkitty. Hope you’ve got something in your Sainsbury’s delivery for a toast 🥂

GrannySomerset Thu 10-Oct-24 09:46:49

So sorry, MD, hope things improve very soon. Waiting for the man to clear the gutters is the main focus of the day, another job which now needs an expert rather than doing it ourselves but one not to neglect as we have so many local trees and a roof which seems to be a breeding ground for moss.

grandMattie Thu 10-Oct-24 09:43:27

All the best,my two dears kalu and MD. Thank you for contacting us. 🫂🫂❤️

Marydoll Thu 10-Oct-24 09:25:39

Good morning all, thanks for the good wishes, I'm not very well at the moment. The icing on the cake, yet another stress fracture in my foot. I am trying hard to be upbeat, but failing miserably. Poor Mr MD. I am in a low tolerance mood! 😉 💕

My pal Kalu messaged me yesterday, she too is finding her new normal very difficult. 💐

Enjoy your day folks. The sun is shing here, but cold. Stafe safe, if you have storms forecast.

BlueSapphire Thu 10-Oct-24 09:10:12

Good morning everyone from an overcast Northampton, but forecast dry with sunny spells today. BBC weather app telling me winds of 14,400 mph......

DD-out-law has just been with numerous bags of the DGDs' stuff as they will be here after school today until Sunday. Mum and dad (DS) are off to Manchester for a long weekend, a delayed anniversary celebration, staying in the Midland hotel, no less. Bedrooms are all ready for the girls and my Sainsbury's delivery arrives this morning, so will be well stocked with food. A Bolognese is on the menu for today, which I shall prepare in the slow cooker later.

A day in yesterday, doing various little jobs around the house and some household admin on the laptop. Read more of my book club book (Showstopper by Peter Lovesey) in the afternoon; I'm now halfway through it.

Worrying that there's been no word from Mdoll; hope all is ok.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from a beautifully sunny Glasgow where it is 3 deg.
A busy day today . A charity coffee morning which I was helping at yesterday raised a magnificent £2000!
Some bits and pieces of bric a brac left over to be taken to the charity shop this morning.
I am off to the Guild this afternoon and line dancing tonight so all go go go! My tongue will be getting lots of exercise!
Hoping that Marydoll is ok 💐and all others with worries get through the day ❤️

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Thu 10-Oct-24 08:45:19

Have a great holiday LLFL you’ll be flying out as I’m flying in! Hollysteers hope your op goes well with a good result. Happy anniversary to the Lesters sure romance will be in the air today.

I hope your fears stay unfounded, the boys are better soon. I’m sure the tears will flow today. Let them. It shows you’re human.

grandMattie Thu 10-Oct-24 08:43:27

My word, some winds are being forecast! It is perfectly still ATM.
I have lived through winds over 120 mph as a youngster but never 4951 mph as poor Maw is about to experience. No chance of any building surviving that!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Good morning all from a fairly dark but dry day here on the east coast of Fife,

I made delicious lentil soup yesterday with a ham hough and believe it or not spent ages wrapping my Christmas presents. There won’t be any mad dashing about at the last minute in this house.

I’m having my hair done today and I’ve a new gardener coming to give my lawn it’s last cut of the year

Enjoy your day my friends as best you can

Bonnybanko

A special good morning to you Bonnybank from the East Coast of Fife. Can you tell me where you managed to secure a Ham Hough from? Morrrisons have them occasionally.

Good morning from a cloudy but increasingly brightening Black Country.

Enjoyable morning yesterday at the Birmingham meet up. As Monk says, good to put faces to names and to meet familiar faces too, and great to meet you Monk.

Over to Mums today, as she is having her first Meals on Wheels delivery and I want to be there. It is a free trial meal. Fingers crossed she likes it. Will take her down to the Charity shop afterwards, as I have a bag of clothes to donate.

Wishing you all the best day possible.
