Good morning all,
A dull day once more - it never got light yesterday and it’s looking similar today. I really dislike this kind of day, much prefer the crisp, bright days.

I agree with others regarding Mick, and wish he would seek medical advice. However, he seems reluctant to do so for some reason, and I also doubt he reads many posts after his own (but I could be very wrong, of course). At the end of the day, the decision rests with him.

A quiet day in store, I think, though we might pop out for a sandwich at lunch time if we feel like going - this grey weather seems to drain my enthusiasm, but I’ll give myself a shake and make the effort.

Happy anniversary Mr and Mrs Jax 💐🍾.

Colourful toadstools there Grammaretto.

I hope your sister is home soon, Bonny.

Good morning from Durham. A bit sad today - it would have been DH’s 74th birthday today. He’s missed so much, especially the birth of a DGS to (disabled) DD2. That bloody circle of life!

Mick, Mick, Mick!. FGT2, MD and others have echoed my thoughts. Why don’t you listen/act?????

💐*Bonnybanko*. You sister is in good hands. I hope back home soon.

Can’t decide what to do today. Probably a bit in the garden, as DGS2 was here yesterday and all his ‘stuff’ is to go back into the shed. More leaves too, then might reward myself with coffee and cake somewhere. The local cricket club had a laser light display last night, easily visible, so we stood outside and watched a bit of that as DD2 was leaving.

Best wishes to all. X

Yes, Happy Anniversary to you and your man, Jaxjacky!

Good (late) morning from a grey N Bucks.
Kennel living must have exhausted poor Rosie, she slept through until 9 o clock too!
I second, third and fourth the opinion that Mick should seek advice. Ignoring symptoms is rarely the right thing to do, particularly with a background of bowel illness.
Karma I wish you well with your allotment, may it bring you much joy because it certainly isn’t going to save you any money with the financial outlay you describe! grin
We applied for an allotment when we came to the village 40 yeas ago and were offered (but turned down) one without water or storage a good half mile walk out of the village. A very short time after we had a second offer, the large vegetable garden of a council house barely 100 yards up the road, belonging to an elderly lady who had recently lost her keen gardener husband.
Of course there was storage for tools (even some tools themselves!) water, and also even occasional cups of tea and a chat. It was perfect and paw took great pride in producing unusual veg , heritage carrots and quantities of courgettes and beans you couldn’t give away! But the pleasure was in the producing.
I have no plans for today but wish you all a safe and peaceful one with hopes of good news of all who are poorly.

Good morning Mick and everyone from gloomy-again-Carlisle. I've forgotten what a sun looks like...

Yesterday was a drive about stocking up my larder and refuelling the car. Driving south from the city along the main road, I was surprised to see a deer quietly grazing on the verge, totally unmoved by the busy Saturday traffic. Have had horrid thoughts of it being spooked and leaping in front of my car.
I also saw yet another skein of geese flying north. You are going the wrong way, guys! FGT has the right idea...

Today I might get out in the garden although I don't want to aggravate my bug which is threatening to resurge. I'm thinking I'm going to have to wear a mask next time the train has problems and gets crowded. Even if I am the only one doing it.

And there's stacks of reading to catch up with, books, papers, magazines. The trouble is, I like to keep active even if I do love my reading. The days aren't long enough, that's the problem.

I'm concerned about Mick too, but what to do?!

Best wishes to you and your sister Bonnybanko, I hope she's soon well.

And a pleasant Sunday to you all.

Good morning from a grey Suffolk where we have just got up after a bad night. DS’s dog sleeps on their bed and ours sleeps in our kitchen.

So at about 10.30pm with both dog beds in the kitchen we and they went to bed,us to sleep but our visiting dog to try and make us take notice that she didn’t intend to go to sleep there. A quiet day beckons I hope.

DH has just given me a cuppa and I’ll now read your posts,nearly 40 of them when I started this.

GrannyGravy13 Sun 03-Nov-24 08:37:31

Morning everyone, I intend to channel my inner sloth today.

Book, sofa and then let Mr.Gravy take me out for a late Sunday lunch…

(I wonder who has been coaching me? #lazygran 😘🩷)

Jaxjacky Sun 03-Nov-24 08:35:37

Morning from yet another grey start, send a little ☀️over FGT please!
Sorry to hear that Bonny 🤞for a swift recovery.
Well done karmalady I bought a Ravel watch from them recently, £7, does the job.
It’s our wedding anniversary today, a glorious 17 years, we’ll be out for lunch later and this evening there’s an espresso martini with my name on it.

Morning Mick, morning All. Another grey, mild day ahead for our corner of Somerset.

Chores tackled yesterday morning we enjoyed a tasty lunch at our favourite cafe. Added to our battery garden light stash. Mr C wasted no time installing them, it cheered us both to see lights out there last night.

More faffing around today. Mr C has promised to dig out a too vigorous for the space plant as it’s garden waste collection day tomorrow. I’ll supervise - best to avoid the wrong plant disappearing - make up the guest bed and try to turn what has become a dumping ground back into a room.

We’re all worried about you Mick, please do seek advice tomorrow. Pleased to hear your progress holly. You must just be worried bonnybanko flowers. Go steadily with that allotment karma, an exciting challenge for you.

Have the best as you can everyone.

Re. Mick, perhaps we should flood him with pms? Then he can hardly say he didn’t see the posts…

I am pretty sure Mick doesn't come back and read the posts.

His situation is really worrying, when he obviously needs medical intervention and given his past history. 🙁

But he can hardly miss “personal messages”, can he? They go to his email inbox.

Ask the vet for a mild tranquilliser Oops to take for several nights. Saves the poor dog (and you all) stressing.

Oopsadaisy1 Sun 03-Nov-24 08:29:35

Good morning from another dull and dank day in Oxfordshire, I hate dull damp days.

Off to Dunelm with MissOops later to buy some bits and pieces, then another shopping delivery late afternoon.

MissOops and MrOops are out most of the evenings in the car with the dog as there are so many firework displays and she is terrified. Tonights effort is supposed to be the noisiest in Oxfordshire, it’s a few miles away but the thumps and bang sounds really carry. Great. Only another week or so of noisy evenings……….

Hope all the poorlies soon start to feel better. Have a good day everyone.
