Good Morning Saturday 8th March 2025

What a coincidence. My mother hails from Kilsyth and one of my sons lives just along the road from the Butcher's Grill and always raves about it.

Good afternoon from a very pleasant Kirkintilloch just outside Glasgow we’ve just been treated to a lovely lunch at the Butchers Grill in Elderlie by our eldest DS. Was definitely worth the trip to the other side of Glasgow.

Thank you Sar53 it really shakes you up. I hope you’re OK now, I’m mending, slowly. I’m fed up and can’t even do my exercises.

Sorry to hear about your fall Blossoming. I did exactly the same on Monday at my daughter's house.
The bruises are spectacular.
Please rest up and I hope you feel better soon, love xx

Had to post to say I’ve got sheets and pillowcases on the line for the first time this year in sunny Durham today. Keep safe and celebrate being a woman today

Thanks alll, I didn’t hit my head and don’t seem to have broken anything- my 2 main fears. Aggie the en-suite is in the process of being altered to make my life easier and should be ready soon, fingers crossed. It’s useable but will be better once finished. I guess it’s a question of resting and healing now.

I’m usually obsessed about checking pockets too in case of a rogue tissue creating mayhem!

Big shhh! Please. 😮😮
I’ve just taken a wash load out of our (recently bought) washing machine. Luckily it was a short 20 minute ‘freshen up’ wash.
We both noted the sound of metal knocking occasionally on the drum … “oh it’s just be the zip on my gilet” said I.

I opened the door at the end of the cycle … to find my house keys sitting on the rubber casing. That was very lucky! 🫢

Dear Blossoming, sending virtual hugs. Real ones would be too painful.
DD has just popped in on her way back from. Oban and has stolen the soup, because she has no shopping.😂

Redcar

blossoming that sounds awful and so frightening. I do hope you are able to rest and recover.
marydoll does your weight loss mean that you’ll need new and smaller clothes?!

Redcar, do not put ideas into my head!😂
My White Stuff advance order sweater from QVC has been irreparably damaged by Evr.
I was offered a larger size, but happily declined!

Blossoming sorry to her of your accident, I hope your aches and pains ease soon x

Good Morning Mick and all GN's on a sunny dry north yorkshire morning. Rather later than usual as having had a rotten night, I went out early to the market and to the supermarket.

As always seems to happen to me, when I think I only need a couple of things and the Yorkshire Post, then there are various bargains to be had and it is a difficult job trying to carry them home, but if I take lots of bags I find nothing I want . So today it was a case of loading things anywhere I could, so have rather struggled home, but have now shoved everything away and having a break and a coffee, before tackling whatever I feel up to doing.

If you hear some loud shouting it will be me watching the rugby!! So I must get some food sorted and fingers crossed for some good games and then hopefully still time to sit outside and maje the most of the sunshine and read my paper. It would be lovely to go up Swaledale today but I shall just have to be satisfied by sitting outside. A lot of the morning has gone already but hope you are all having a good day

Oh Blossoming you must have been so frightened and shaken up. Rest up.

Blossoming what a fright for you. I hope you aren't too badly bruised. Thank goodness for your dh.

I’m sorry to hear this Blossoming what a shock for you too, fingers crossed you recover speedily, I know your Mr will be providing lots of TLC x

Hand grips ! Not hang !!!

A lovely spring morning here in Co Armagh
I’ve just spotted Alliums poking through , move some ornamental stones and found more , pity I planted succulents there too , I never remember where anything is till they poke through !
Oh Blossoming you need to get the bathroom sorted with hang grips/rails , I hope the pain isn’t too bad , you poor woman

Hope the new meds prove effective Marydoll Your novellas brighten my day xx

Good morning everyone from sunny Lancashire. Looking like spring is sprung here. Unfortunately I am once again confined to bed after a horrendous bathroom fall on Thursday night. Couldn’t move, breathe or speak. Luckily MrB heard the crash and ran in to rescue me. It had knocked the breath right out of me, very scary. It hurts horribly to move and am feeling sorry for myself. I have found a comfortable position and nothing seems to be injured. Just horribly bruised.

Have a good weekend 🌹

Both posts I attempted to send yesterday refused to post and then disappeared, so I am just going to have a quick try now just to let you know that I am in the Land of the Living! Have a beautiful Spring day everyone 🪻🌷🌱☀️

Good morning all,

A beautiful start to the day here with blue sky and sunshine. It’s forecast to be a warm day, too, so I might potter a bit more in the garden.

Welcome Sallyforth. I don’t post every day, but usually read through the posts at some point in the day.

Glad you enjoyed your biryani BlueSapphire.

Good morning Mick and all from Sunnyside sand dunes northwest coast.
Art group yesterday and nice chat, then to pick up spectacles, the gradient is still not right. I want to be able to wear them inside as well as outside.
Has my blood pressure checked at the surgery. High as always, but the second reading ok.

Cat has left a gift of dead mouse in the porch for me. Killer😁.
Apparently it thinks I’m a c*ap hunter, so is showing me how it’s done.
Off to next village for a village hall bring and buy. I will have a walk around the village and park.

Welcome Sallyforth and thoughts to all🌺

Good morning everyone from another bright and sunny 🌞🌞 day in Northampton. Going to be warm and sunny all day - just last week I was bundled up in winter coat and boots! However I see we are promised below freezing and sleet next Thursday.....

Enjoyed my dance classes yesterday, and then had coffee afterwards with a new dancer who I already knew from a different activity. Then to the bank as I had to raid a DGD's money box to pay for my classes!

Made and enjoyed my chicken biryani, enough for three portions so I need to get the remaining two into the freezer. Shall use the recipe again, perhaps as the base for a curry with coconut milk.

The cupboard is bare for dinner tonight and I have a fancy for a steak so shall be hopping on the bus to the shops. I also have an order to pick up in M&S. Will probably watch the rugby this afternoon.

Welcome to this lovely group Sallyforth!

Have a lovely sunshiny day everyone.

Morning, bright sun in S Hants, welcome to you Sallyforth. Yesterday both children rang needing help with a couple of things that meant I was up and out in my car (which needs a wash badly Greyduster) both sorted
Pub last night was very busy, managed a good catch-up with a couple of friends, comparing back exercises and bemoaning the performance of our local football team.
MrJ in a bowls match today, I’ll be in the garden with the hoe, then the greenhouse with seed trays and compost, I love having soil on my bare hands.
Rugby this afternoon and I’ll fit a brisk walk in listening to GQT.
