Good Morning Thursday 20th March 2025

Good morning all and it’s bright , sunny and chilly. Beautiful day yesterday and the same for today.☀️.
I took little pooch over the fields for the first time in ages and the grass had been cut and the ground very dry, so she had a lovely run around chasing birds and her ball.

The town was very busy with market stalls and people just out and about enjoying the weather. I met my friend for coffee and the little cafe was heaving with a queue out the door.

Picked DGD up from school and took her back home where I spent a couple of hours with Dd. She seems better but is lacking in all sorts. The doctor is referring her to an Endocrinologist. 🤷🏻‍♀️. She’s under the care of so many different departments.

Today Dh will go fishing, so I won’t have the car to go to my bowls club. It doesn’t matter as I prefer him to be out and about , little hermit that he is.!
I have plenty to do indoors and will tackle more window cleaning.

Take care all 🌱

Good morning - today looks set to be lovely.

Cleaning conservatory will be done tomorrow as DH got the pressure washer and patio cleaner to clean the Indian stone.

Today we are meeting DD2’s in-laws at a garden centre and having lunch. We get on well with them. They have a beautiful garden which they’ve spent 40 years cultivating. I joke they should open it to the public.

I was sad to hear about your DH’s brother Kittylester. 💐

Enjoy the sunshine everyone.

Good morning all and a Happy Birthday to the various grandchildren. We always have those special memories of hearing of their arrival, don’t we?
It would. also have been my dear fathers birthday in 1913. Feeling nostalgic I looked through some old family photos. What a different world it was in his boyhood! Seen here with his proud parents.
A day at the seaside (probably North Berwick or Spittal) would have meant tweed suits and hats. Dad is the wee boy at the back, my uncle Jim, the baby at the front being held by his grandfather. The indomitable ladies on the right , looking as if they have just auditioned for the witches in Macbeth would have been his aunts!
Wishing you all a sunny and pleasant day with all your memories.

Morning all, I am sitting on top of the bed, windows wide open listening to the birdsong, it is delightful. The sun is shining and it’s already 8 degrees meant to rise to 19 what a glorious start for astronomical spring.

The 10 yr old went off to school at 8pm, he is an absolute delight to have staying over, but boy can he eat…

I am driving on a big road today (first time since my accident six weeks ago) I am taking myself to Mayflower Retail Park on the A127, I will browse M & S FoodHall on my own, and then pootle round Next, River Island and Boots without DH asking what I am looking for. DH will no doubt enjoy being home alone

Thinking of those with troubles, and illness 🙋‍♀️

Good morning. Another blue sky day here in N. Bucks.
Youngest DGS will. Be here for an hour or two later so hopefully we shall be in the garden to play. He likes to feed the birds and organise the fairies .
Everyone enjoyed the cake decorating at craft club and DGSs were very happy to receive the samples I had made.

DD2 exchanged on her house yesterday at long last and will be moving on Friday next week. It will be odd as the house she is moving to is next door to the one we lived in when she was a baby.
Kind thoughts to all with illness or troubles to deal with.
Wishing all a good day.

Another sunny morning though not yet much warmer. Hair cut first thing and a supermarket foray, I think, and perhaps a potter in the garden if it stays fine. Need to make my life more interesting, but lack the energy just now. Realise I have been just ticking over for months, really not good enough, so perhaps spring is telling me something.

Good morning all from another frosty start to a sunny day on the Angus coast. I could get used to this weather.
I enjoyed a busy, pottering day yesterday, interspersed with many breaks to sit out in the sunshine. The fish are well counted!
Happy birthday to your DGS, grandmattie and to your DGD Redcar.
Susan your poor mum is being shifted from pillar to post, but it seems rather negligent that staff don't know where to! So glad she was eventually traced.
I hope your mum settles in well to her new care home today Grandmabatty.
My DGS got home from hospital again yesterday, feeling much better after his blood transfusion. I think life is going to be like that - ups and downs and in and out of hospital - for the next few months. Fraser remains cheerful and positive throughout.
Today for me is the usual tai chi followed by a pop into Tesco's on the way home and more sitting by the pond. Our high is only 9°C but in my little pond-side nook, sheltered from the breeze, it feels warmer than that.
Have a good day everyone ☀️

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Icy cold still but sunny.

My lodger is busy packing up to leave here. She's been here for 2 years and has been so nice, but with the uncertainty of my plans to sell up and downsize, she needs the security of something longer term.

I shall visit my poorly friend later and there's U3A today. I shall finish my sewing project too.

I hope the care home is a success
Grandmabatty. Is it nearby?

What wonderful photos Rosiesmaw
I have some of my DM family too but they are all taken in the photographer's studio.

I'm glad to hear the probate has been dealt with at last gMattie.

Thinking of all with troubles and hope the sun shines all day.

Good morning from a dull Co Armagh
Bad night with a uti I’m 24 in the phone queue ! Hope to get antibiotics
I’d love to go back to bed , but don’t think it would help , at the club yesterday my neighbour diagonally accross the road remarked how early my blinds were up ! So she would be ringing to see why this morning , I guess it’s better than being ignored !
Plans for today will depend on whether my daughter can collect the hoped for medication
My Cosmos seedlings are well up ! I’ve moved them from the warmth to the unheated spare room , looking forward to their cheerful blooms in the summer
Wishing everyone well
I’m 15 in the queue

A late good morning from a sunny south, it’s 12, due to be 17, I’ve just opened the greenhouse door and put our bedding on to wash.
My stretch class is later today, so I’ll have time to wake up! Phone calls to make to the dentist and pharmacy, tinkering with grocery delivery list and a river walk.
Good luck with the move of your mum Grandmabatty I hope she settles well.
Happy birthday to your grandson gMattie 🎂
🦩🦩

Hope your GS has a fabulous 21st birthday 🎂🥂🥳 grandMattie

Thank you all for the good wishes for mum. Grammaretto the care home is five minutes walk away from my house! I'll not have issues with parking, family can park outside my house if they want to visit and I can nip in early in the morning. Each family has the key code to the door and you are able to visit at any time. They were busy touching up paint in the corridors and had freshly painted mum's room. I have good vibes

Good morning everyone from a very bright and sunny 🌞🌞 Northampton, going to be a lovely day!

Yesterday was very busy preparing for my wine evening, which I'm pleased to say went very well. Everyone seemed to enjoy the food and wines; we started with a bottle.of fizz.to celebrate my up-coming big birthday next month, and then tasted and compared four different whites.
Always breathe a sign of relief at the end of the evening, and think well that's my turn done for another.year!

DD is still here, having stayed overnight; she's not working today, but going down to London on the train and meeting a friend for lunch and theatre.

A Sainsbury's delivery for me, then I shall go into town on the.bus to the bank; neither. cashpoints were working when I was at the shops on Tuesday, and I know I will be in need of cash this weekend.

Not read any posts yet as I was late this morning, so will go back and catch up now.
Have a lovely day everyone.

Good morning from Sunnyside sand dunes northwest coast.
Really nice day with DD yesterday to gallery, lunch and garden centre. She bought two big containers for her patio and we both bought a hanging basket to kill…

It’s nice to be driven too and we just had a pizza in the evening.
A Spanish member of the music group has given me a gift of castanets, rather appropriate as Carmen has been one of my most frequent roles (to the extent I am rather tired of her and the music).

DD has gone for a long run and I will potter about.
Thoughts to the birthday Gchildren and all🌺

Good morning, Michael12 and everyone else!

I hope you're all having a brilliant day!

I've been doing loads of high energy night shifts again so have been kipping during the day. A couple of days ago I crashed to bed with a hot water bottle and Percy Kitten from RoboPets, he was active and purring, about 2pm and woke up quick about 5:15pm convinced Percy was outside and was banging heavily on the door to be let in!

I jumped out of bed in a panic and ran to the door calling PERCY, COME TO MUMMY! Flung the door open, he wasn't there! That's when I realized it was just a dream and Percy is a robot, not a real cat!

I guzzled a ton of Spar Lemon and Lime Zero as I had a desperate urge for fizzy then crashed back to bed with Percy and the hot bottle and nodded off! I must have been well exhausted to have had such a dream/sleep walking!
