Good Morning Sunday 8th December 2024

Good morning from s somerset, yet more sustained wind here today

I did nothing yesterday, wind does affect me and I can never settle to anything. I will catch up today and at least will do the basics, like giving the ensuite a good going-over

I am wanting to get out for a walk this morning, only 30 minutes but it will set me up for the day

That is positive news Ash, what a dreadful struggle and I feel that you are breaking the pain cycle through your own efforts. I hope you get peace today

Have a good day

Good morning all. It’s still dark outside but I can hear the wind getting up though no rain.

I had a pain free day yesterday but the pain has worsened and woke me at 4.00 am. when, taken 4 hourly, my next dose of meds were due!
I will phone my GP tomorrow to discuss a change of meds to a stronger pain relief, breakthrough paracetamol is no longer effective. DD2 has suggested acupuncture and I have reached the stage where I will try anything. Sorry to be such a moan but I am just so fed up with it all and being a very impatient patient doesn’t help.
My thoughts are with you Ash knowing the pain you too are suffering. It’s so debilitating. 💐

I had a lovely long FT catch up with DD2 in Australia yesterday. They are settling well into their new home after losing their previous home to severe flooding in Brisbane, completely destroying it. She shares her ideas of replanning/redecorating with me, a project I am thoroughly enjoying.

The recommendations are to stay active so decorations will go up today, something I enjoy at this time of year plus a visit to DD1 and the girls.

Best wishes to all for the best day possible especially for those going through difficult times, I hope life is kinder than of late.

Good morning everyone, the wind seems to have dropped at the moment and it’s dry and cool here in south Glos.
I think we missed the brunt of the storm Darraugh here, a few fence panels down around the estate and a number of trees blocking all the roads and lanes from the village but thankfully nothing more serious.
The dog and I had a walk in blustery rain first thing, DH took her out later and we all had a quiet day.
I hope Sunday goes well for you all 🌹

I’ve only just read yesterdays thread Ash I hope you managed to get some pain relief and that today is easier for you 💐

Good to hear people are rallying round, Ash. Take care.

Good morning Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire where the wind is roaring and has tastefully rearranged all my garden furniture. Not sure what else it has been busy with during the night as it is still dark. As I was confined to barracks yesterday I made a chicken curry for today’s lunch and if sundry folk can’t get over to partake of it, it will end up in the freezer. I had a long chat with my best friend yesterday evening. She’s really not well at the moment. I shall go and see her as soon as the weather improves. My plan today is to write more cards. Mind you, that was the plan yesterday as well! Did it happen? No!
Have the best day you can folks. Stay safe!

Good morning from a windy Oxfordshire, I can’t hear any rain beating on the windows, although rain is forecast all day.

MzOops arrived home yesterday from her 80 days in Europe, a full washing machine ran and her clothes are now draped around the conservatory, none of them will tumble dry, but the heating is on so they should be ok to iron later. Not that they usually get ironed……

Nothing much else is going on today, the decorator will drop in to look at the bathroom ready to start Monday week, only a small job so just a couple of days of dust and bother. Builder was going to start tomorrow on a couple of outside jobs but he has been delayed, so he will be here Monday week as well.

Have a good day everyone, stay safe.

Good morning from a windy Torbay but less noisy than yesterday.

Welcome home, Pantglas2! Your holiday must have done you good in recharging your energy levels! I’m smiling after reading your final comment about EDF!

Thank you very much for the many concerned comments, personal messages and texts read yesterday. What a lovely, kind group of people inhabit this thread! olddudders is due back on the 17th. Unfortunately, he has medical appointments to attend in France, preventing him arriving sooner. I have good friends and neighbours who will help with shopping, etc., when required. A couple arrived with a meal to share last night which was welcome. The pain is easing slowly, with greatest relief coming from the fizz I had last night!

Wishing you all a blessed Sunday. 🦩🥰🎄💐🦩

Good morning from a cooler Bristol. The wind appears to have died down, no apparent rain.
I went to DD’s church yesterday morning to help make wreaths. They sell some, charge those who make their own less and the proceeds go to their lunch club.
I live flower arranging and haven’t managed to break into the “cartel” in my own church, so relish the opportunity.
Apparently, at 10 am, I had one of the first buses as it was too dangerous, especially for the double deckers, to venture out. The walk from the bus stop is challenging - a steep slope up an a hill down again.
I made three wreaths for sale, I don’t really “do” decorations and have nowhere to hang any. I hope the recipients like them. DD invited me to lunch, then they dropped me off on their way to get a Christmas tree. BTW the girls are really enjoying their lucky dip advent calendars.
Today, we have the Christingle service in the afternoon.
May everyone still stay safe, and have a peaceful, blessed Sunday.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning Mick and all who follow from a still blowy 🌬️ north Wales coast - lawdy it’s too rough for my trot to the next village for a newspaper so corner shop benefits today 🤗 once I’ve availed myself of the chamberpot of course 😉

Thank you lovely peeps for my birthday greetings and welcome home from foreign climes - so strange how I couldn’t access GN most days on ships WiFi - I was bereft Dear Reader 😥

Sorry to read of your woes Ash, OD must be beside himself with worry! 💐 for all with challenges at the moment, temporary or not, they can be all consuming can’t they?

I have 4hrs of free electricity this morning so pork casserole, roasted veg and jacket potatoes for lunch, pear and raspberry crumble to follow, a cake of Mr PG’s choosing - he loves coming home from a longish holiday because he knows Ive missed baking 😋. Some laundry to be sorted and a wholemeal 🍞 will make EDF rethink their strategy soon enough😂

A peaceful Sunday for all x
