Good Morning Wednesday 5th February 2025

Sorry to say this Marydoll, but i have been chuckling at your poor misfortune yesterday, you retell it so comically, although I am sure you didn't find the humour in it at the time!!!
It is bright here this morning in sunny South Birmingham, got some bits and bobs to collect, prescription for an incapacitated neighbour, then back home to carry on working on my BookNook. Hubby had one of the marble construction things for xmas that he is working on, it is very engaging and keeps his mind off other things, thankfully.
Have a good day, all other gransnetters, very grateful for all your postsxx

Good Morning from a chilly Co Armagh, but a lovely blue sky cheers me up
Club shortly , it’s a quiz ! I have a reputation for being good at our quizzes , I think everyone mistakes enthuiasm for brains !
I’ll be away next week so have to attend today to boost the numbers . So many members are poorly or have hurt their ankles and unable to attend
I hope the lift is fixed, last week we had to help one member up the stair , while someone carried her oxygen!!
Our fittest member has broken her ankle slipping while brushing up leaves !
All the best for a good day 💐

Good morning everyone from a very bright and sunny 🌞Northampton but feeling really chilly, even indoors. Was up earlier to catch my paperboy to ask him not to ride his bike/scooter over my front grass as it is leaving deep ruts and wearing the grass away. He was very apologetic, so am keeping my fingers crossed.

A partly successful visit to the vets yesterday with my cats; one was perfectly behaved and let the vet do a full examination and give her her jabs; the other was much too nervous for an examination, but the vet did manage the jabs. She will have a higher dose of sedation next time.

Was good to see DS - he has the.next week off so he will come down one day and put my new washing line up.

Had a good walk yesterday afternoon, albeit at a slower pace and a slightly shorter route as we had a new walker join us who needs a stick and would have had difficulty keeping up with the main group; so some of us decided to adapt our usual walk. We still ended up at the usual place at the right time for coffee and delicious home-made cake 🎂!

No plans for anything today except a bit of light pottering and reading - I feel as though I just want to curl up in a blanket and do nothing! Which I shall do, as tomorrow is a busy day. Made a large chicken soup/stew yesterday, so I only need to reheat that for my dinner.

Wishing all a pleasant day.

BridgetPark, thank you!

I have a very strange sense of humour and that is my way of dealing with things.

I thought today may be better, but DH has just informed me that Scottish Gas (expletive) have forgotten that the a formal complaint resolved the smart meter fiasco and we did not owe millions of pounds.
DH is onto them at the moment.
Unfortunately, Scottish Gas do not communicate with British Gas! Why am I not surprised.

At least the sun is shining and I DH can put out the washing.

MaryDoll I really think you should do a blog about disability as you age, you would I am sure be famous 👏👏👏

On another note, DH has just informed me that

someone has left the freezer door ajar in the garage

I somehow managed to keep quiet and not point out that he was the last person to get something out of it.

He then suggested that we or more aptly me needs to check all the contents and clean it out 🤬🤬🤬

G.G. I am too long winded. People would probably doze off!

I think having gone from running around a school, with IT equipment under my arm to becoming a vulnerable and invisible old lady, does not sit well with me.
I must give myself a good talking to!!! Moaning won't change anything.

Good morning to u all . It’s our weekly cafe meet up today . My son loves it he has a huge cooked breakfast but he has to sit on a table of his own and then he goes for a wonder around the village it’s a tiny village and I’m happy for him to do that as from the cafe I can see him . He has autism and likes his routine so Wednesdays make him very happy x

Marydoll I’m very sorry but the thought of the bath bombs has realy tickled me . Hope today is much calmer for you

Good morning Mick and all from a mixed up weather wise northwest coast.
A very unsettled night. These occur every so often, when I cannot drop off for love nor money. Possibly dropping off to sleep in front of the tv plays a major part.

The music club yesterday went well but I will give the usual lunchtime recital today a miss and attend to the house.
Flying DD in Singapore and impressive photos coming through.
Thoughts to all 🌺

Karma I am as certain as certain, and without any shadow of a doubt, that six years ago I wouldn't have been able to do what you do!!

Marydoll you are a brilliant writer. I would have taken a photo of the other car parked in the disabled bay and reported him to the police. I am always sad to read about your on going health issues.I have quite a few myself.Luckily like you I have a very caring husband xx

GG13: Grrrrrrr....... I am with you on that one. Why can't men grasp that there is a load line in a chest freezer? And that tossing things about (so that nothing can ever be found again), just does not work? I also have an upright freezer which beeps when the door is left ajar. The noise is usually ignored. Why?
