Good Morning Monday 21st October 2024

Well, it's "nearly tomorrow" and I've just caught up. Sending hugs to Marydoll.

Even later in the day now! marydoll I’m sorry you’re so poorly, I do miss your posts and admire the way you soldier on despite your illnesses.

I know it’s late in the day but it came to mind the Aberfan disaster and Pantglas primary school and wondered if Pantglas was near or involved. I remember very well where I was that day . A dreadful accident and a dreadful time for all involved

Marydoll more 💐 from me x

MaryDoll ........ Some to cheer you up x

MaryD 🌹

Yes, thanks again Marydoll for your response to me. I feel for you. My doctor rang this morning to see how I am because she saw on my records that the paramedics had been sent out. Impressive. My waistcoat is half made.

HGV whywhywhy, brilliant!

My friend’s GD has Bronchiectasis and has been hospitalised several times which is why I was interested in the thread on which you posted.

I hope I didn’t upset you by my post Marydoll.
Just wanted to reassure members on this thread that you were still “about”.
Nothing else was intended but I know people worry when an unwell poster “goes missing”

Thank you LLF for your kindness.

In response to the comment that I posted as late as yesterday, I posted ( from my sick bed) solely on a thread to respond to Mizuna about a health query.
In fact, I have gone from a prolific poster, to rarely posting on GN recently.

My health is very unstable at the moment, as the Glasgow Grans know and consequently, my mood is very low. A heart scare a the weekend has knocked my confidence again.1
Being very unwell first thing in the morning does make posting difficult, hence my absence from the GM thread.
By the time things settle down, its rather late to post.

However, after seeing the comment that I have been posting, I realised that I need to clarify.
Better to read and enjoy all your upbeat posts, than be a grumpy old woman and bring down this lovely thread, with my moans! 😉
The photos and news of holidays brighten my day.

I am feeling rather overwhelmed and frustrated at the moment, knowing that not much can be done to improve my quality of life.
I will do what I always do, hunker down, and hope this passes.

Love to all those kind and supportive posters, who have shown concern. X

Marydoll has been posting on another thread as recently as yesterday.

whywhywhy you are very brave with the HGV lessons 👏

Worrying not to have heard from MaryD for a few days.

Good morning, Michael12 and everyone!

It's 13.9C. here in little Appleby. It's been torrential rain most of the night with very strong winds, I love it! I had the bedroom window open all yesterday and last night and it was great! It was like poltergeist activity with all the winds gushing through and blowing my curtains around!

I've still got this bug and still on Amoxicillin but it looks like I'll be back to work in a couple of weeks.

I watched Wishmaster 1, two nights ago and number 2 last night staring Andrew Divoff as the djinn demon. Will be watching number 3 tonight!

I've just came back from having a pub breakfast and am snuggled on the settee with my lovely fleeces and a mug of tea!

Dry, calm and brighter here. I too am a lurker and rarely post but so enjoy reading everyone’s doings. Wish I had as much energy and enthusiasm.
Biking to nowhere ( to quote on of you) while trying to post.
Wishing a better day to those with illnesses and happy holidays to those lucky travellers.

Hugs for Harrigran. I know what you are going through.

Thanks. I decided to give it a go before it is too late. Don’t worry I won’t be driving those massive lorries on the A1 or anything. Just something to tick on my bucket list.

👋 to you whywhywhy. HGV lessons? I’m intrigued!

Good morning Mick and all from Sunnyside northwest coast. A change from yesterday’s howling gales.

The district nurse took my stitches out yesterday, pretty painlessly, unlike some a remember many years ago that were like black barbed wire, ugh.
DD leaves today for the south and DS takes over, I’m sure I could manage, but it’s nice to be cared for. My Dsister from the south is hoping to come soon too. I’ve now lost one stone in twelve days.
Another quiet day in the offing. Lovely pics again and I’m jealous RosiesMaw, I love Paris.
Thoughts to all🌺

Good morning from Central Scotland. Quite a few leaves lying about after the wind and rain yesterday. Wasn’t as bad as expected here though. Will miss reading Grandmabatty’s posts while she has a break from social media. I quite understand it as I am a lurker and only post occasionally, usually because I am up so much after the rest of you I do like my bed!!
I do enjoy reading all your posts though and following your travels. Looking forward to Cyprus next week although it is not too far away from Lebanon etc. Thoughts as always are with those with health and other problems.

Good morning from a sunny morning between Calpe and Moraira,

MzOops has managed to lock herself out of the Annex to the house, so we are waiting for a locksmith, despite me putting the key on a lanyard and telling her 50 times to keep the key with her at all times………..stop nagging mum she said grrr. Problem is the key is still in the lock on the other side of the door…..l

Anyway, it’s no hardship to sit by the pool.

Hope everyone has a good day. Hugs for the poorly grans and for those who are stressed ( today that includes me)

Good morning from a very grey north east. HGV lessons this afternoon.

Good morning all from a sunny but breezy Angus coast. I'm glad to say Storm Ashley was a non-event here in the east.
Glorious photos Whitewave.
Nothing to report from here - I kept battened down yesterday. Today I must stir myself and 'get things done', particularly some paperwork in connection with tai chi.
Have the best day you can everyone x

A late Bonjour from Paris.
I slept like the proverbial log after a lovely day pottering round the wonderful market am for ingredients for supper (Non, Madame does not require the chicken head as well, merci)
Then off to the Marché aux Puces at Porte de Clignancourt - acres and acres of stalls and shops ranging from genuine antiques and vintage designer clothes to tat that you frankly would not give house room to!
Supper back at the flat and a film on synchronised iPads.
Today I am having a lazy morning, D and SIL have taken GS to a Japanese animé film at a cinema round the corner and I am having a shower and leisurely second cup of coffee.
The Impressionists at the Centre Pompidou this afternoon I think.
Wishing you all une bonne journée- this is our little courtyard- very French!

No worries bella. My brain has no excuse to be addled, often muddle posters. .
