We all admire your fortitude and courage, Marydoll. You are a great example to those of us who make heavy weather of lesser ailments

Thank you, but it's nothing but sheer bloody mindedness, which keeps me going!
I know that there are posters on GN, who have much more to contend with than I, but don't post about it.💐

Marydoll I hardly ever post but I have been lurking for a while.
Just wanted to say how sorry I am that you are so unwell. I do admire how you push yourself all the time. Really hope that you are feeling better soon xx

What a kind post. Thank you. X

Good morning, Michael12 and everyone!

Last night I didn't scare myself with my own shadow as I did before! I was clever this time and left a can of fizz on my bedside table!

It's 13.9C here in little Appleby. Had gorgeous torrential rain most of the day yesterday and last night, I loved it!

I was in the local chemist this morning, still really rough with the bug but while I wasn't sneezing I'd had hacking coughing fits again but was trying not to ''overly'' cough while in the queue. I was however wheezing really noisily and the man stood behind me, who I don't know, about 20 to my 59 said ''It sounds like you've got a herd of Boeing 747's creating a crop circle in your chest!''

He made me laugh ... which then started off a overly-loud and painful coughing fit! HA!

Good morning Mick and all from Sunnyside 13° northwest coast. DS carried on doing jobs in the house yesterday as I convalesced. I seem to have lost nearly half a stone in a week with the teaspoons of puréed food. It’s not a nice sensation when it’s going down and decides it’s going no further…

DS suggested a delicate drive in the car today, not sure about that, but it’s good to do things, however small.

Flying DD is in the Maldives and it looks so beautiful. Her house has steps straight down into a beautiful turquoise sea.
Ah well, time for my painkillers.
Your health is a bother Mick, great photo Susan and thoughts to all with troubles 🌺

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. It's not raining but very soggy. The washing will have to dry inside I fear.
I've set my Helper to apple picking while I'm at yoga. He's tall and with a special long handled tool will be able to reach the high branches.

I keep telling people I am moving in
the Spring. So a plan is hatching.

Enjoy your Greek adventure sago
Happy travels those on the move and have a lovely day whatever you are up to.

Sunny here in Co Durham. We’re off for our Covid jabs this morning, have to drive around 15 miles but a pleasant journey. We’ll have our flu jabs next week at a local walk in Pharmacy.
Safe travels to those on the move. Hope those under the weather feel better soon.
First Pilates class for three weeks tonight. Hope my jab doesn’t cause a problem 🫰.

Good Morning from a damp Co Armagh, at least it’s not raining , heading out to Mass soon
Yesterday was a great morning at the club , lots of squares for the scrap blanket were gathered , lots had been busy at home , next week I’ll take in more yarn and get others on board
Jabs yesterday , just achy arms if I go searching for the site ,
Hopefully a good day for everyone 💐

Good morning from a sunny NE after 24 hours of rain.
SIL did some jobs for me yesterday, one of the kitchen spotlights needed replacing so he did that and removed some more unwanted stuff from the attic.
He found the jacket for the outside tap and put that on and located the WD40 and oiled the squeaky door hinges.
We were going to have our coffee but as we switched on the table lamps another bulb went.
DD is travelling to the UK this evening, I hope she is okay as she was poorly yesterday.
Have the best day you can.

Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow, where it is 12°C.

The Titanic Exhibition was very interesting yesterday, but I began to feel unwell during it. However, I didn't want to tell Mr MDoll and spoil it for him.

We had planned to explore Finnieston afterwards, but decided to go back into the city centre for lunch. My legs just wouldn't work.
After a delicious Chinese lunch, which I ended up handing ine over to DH, he asked if I would like a wander around the shops. The look on his face was priceless, when I declined! When have I ever refused a chance to shop?
All I wanted to do was go home. It was fortunate that we did, because I was floored by an attack of vertigo, complete with nausea.
Today will probably be a day in bed! I am wondering if this is the result of my 'flu and Covid vaccinations last week. There was I, thinking I had got off lightly.
I hope so, better than my heart being the reason for the vertigo again.

For those on holiday, enjoy and for those who are unwell, I hope you improve soon. brook, I hope the weather isn't too bad, it was snowing one of the times I walked the Wall!
Safe journey, Grandmattie, I seem to have missed you were going away.

Have a good day, folks.

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny 🌞 Northampton, a fine day ahead, so the spare rooms' bedding is in the washing machine.

Spent some of yesterday trying to organise a coffee morning for neighbours and ex-neighbours; though I gave everyone a choice of seven dates, there wasn't one that all could attend! In the end I had to go for the one that the most people could make - which is not until the middle of next month. Gives me plenty of time to bake!

Sainsbury's delivery later this morning, and then it will be another afternoon of reading again. I am really enjoying my current book.

Fish and home-made chunky oven chips.for dinner.

Have a pleasant day everyone.

Thank you for the comments on DGD’s hairstyle.

DD had the idea and styled DGD’s hair.Her only worry is she has set the bar high for next year!

Gingster she kept the balloons in until lunchtime when too many people wanted to play with her hair!

Good morning everyone from south Manchester. It’s damp out (heavy rain last night) but it’s mild. Alexa tells meister currently 11°C and be sunny and 17°C later. Nice.

We are meeting Himself’s brother and his wife this morning for brunch, it’ll be good to see them. He has taken us to every single hospital appointment over 16 months. So very kind and supportive. Nothing planned for this afternoon. Netflix is my friend. Or my Kindle. Oh and I bought ‘Unleashed’ by Boris (well you’re not surprised I bet!) from our local bookshop on the way back from the dentist yesterday. 😁

Good morning Mick and all. There's a large hole in the clouds above my house so I'm hoping that indicates a good day is coming 🤞. Yesterday, as with many of you it seems, was wall to wall rain, followed by mist.
Love your DGD's hairstyle Susan - what a great idea!
A delicious lunch with your friend Bonnybanko.
Enjoy the last day of your cruise Llfl - that seems to have passed quickly.
Looking forward to hearing where you're off to for your trip grandmattie.
I'm off to tai chi soon and must hang my washing out first. I hope everybody enjoys their day, travellers keep safe and the poorlies feel better x

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 12° and dry. My windows are covered in condensation though. I'll get the dehumidifier on. Susan I love the crazy hairdo! GrandMattie enjoy your trip.
Yesterday I took dgs1 to a birthday party where he thoroughly enjoyed himself. He was well behaved and thanked the birthday boy's mum very nicely. The rest of the day I just pottered about.
Today I have no plans and feel a bit ropey. I suspect I have dgs2's cold. Oh well, a gentle day ahead. Have a good day all.

Good morning from damp South Lanarkshire, there’s been overnight rain again.

Yesterday was quite productive, ironing was done, beds were changed, dogs were walked, crocheting was done, and DH made a very tasty beef stew. Another good day.

Today will involve a supermarket is all I know at the moment, oh and yarn group this evening.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Morning all

I didn’t get one thing on my to do list done yesterday, so I must get a move on today 🤣🤣🤣

Safe journeys to the travellers 🙋‍♀️

Good morning from a damp dismal looking Suffolk.

I really enjoyed being back at my keep fit class yesterday but the hour of exercise seemed longer than usual. The 3 hours I spent over lunch with my friend seemed to fly past though.

Off to my stretch class shortly and then some shopping in a nearby small town. I feel I probably can’t ignore any longer the remaining pile of ironing from our holiday. We’ve been home 16 days now so no more excuses to myself.

Hope today is a good one for all.

Early start for me as am expecting a workman “first thing” to sort out the radiator in my bedroom which is permanently off and needs to be on now and again. Otherwise nothing scheduled so will continue the Great Clothes Sort Out as I clear out the loved but too small things I will never get into again. Sad but surprisingly therapeutic and at least I will know what I own and actually wear everything instead of merely storing far too much.

Good morning and it’s dreary here on the Suffolk coast.
Yesterday was a glorious day, sunny and very warm.
We went to Aldeburgh and had trouble finding a spot to park. It was worse than the summer holidays.

Everyone making the most of the weather.
Our fish and chips was as good as usual and we wandered around the town - people sitting outside cafes and enjoying the sun.

Today we’ll put a second coat of paint on the bench and pot up the last of the spring bulbs. I’m hoping for a wonderful display next year.🤞.

I love that photo Susan - what a great idea. Was gd able to keep those balloons on all day?

Safe travels to all on the move and get well soon to poorly grans.🙏.

Take care 🌻🍁

Good morning from a Black Country, where it is much brighter at the moment after lots of rain yesterday.

I feel a lot better now, but did a test and I am still Positive! Now MrJ seems to be coming down with it.

So another day confined to barracks. Will make a couple of Lasagnes for the freezer.

Wishing you all the best day possible

Good morning everyone from Northumberland where it’s stopped raining and a much better day is forecast
Safe travels to all those on the move today and enjoy your trip away gMattie
We really enjoyed exploring and walking parts of Hadrians Wall yesterday, we went to a couple of the Roman forts - I thought of you Marydoll and when you’d last been there. We also walked along part of the wall to Sycamore Gap where the iconic tree was destroyed last year, it’s growing new shoots though so there’s hope it will regenerate. More hiking and walking today with hopefully a nice lunch out somewhere - there’s lots of country pubs round here but much fewer cafes!
Gorgeous picture Susan how creative of your DGD or her mum !
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning from South Lanarkshire. Unlike me, I’ve been awake for hours and now having a cup of tea before officially starting the day. Chiropodist at 9.30 which I’m not really looking forward to but badly need to go.

Then morning dog walk, a couple of chores before lunch and being picked up by a friend to visit another who is not great at the moment. Not particularly exciting but all needing done.

I’ve used the awake time to push on with my book club read since I haven’t had time recently and meeting is on Monday so at least it’s not been a total waste but needless to say I could now slip down under the covers!

So shower now before I do and good wishes to all especially travellers, I must have missed where you are off to grandMattie but I hope it’s somewhere nice.

Love the crazy hair Susan, I’ll show the picture to DD who still has one in primary school!,

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire, where we are promised a bright day. I have had another disturbed night but got more sleep than the night before. I seem to be very sneezy again this morning. Yesterday’s session at the library was very productive and fun. I had a long chat on face time with DS last night while he was dodging about his kitchen cooking supper. One of these days he’ll sit in a chair and talk to me.
Walking group this morning, which I expect will be a sludge fest, then lunch with DD and a much needed haircut this afternoon.
Have the best day you can, folks.
