Good Morning Friday 2nd May 2025

Good morning all and thanks again for your good wishes.
Yes Dh is more comfortable 🥳. His catheter is off and you wouldn’t believe the relief.
Everything went well at the hospital and we were home by 1.30.

Today we have speech therapy at 9.15 and physio at 12.30.
All lovely dedicated people who can’t do enough for us. 🌟.

Gd3 has started her GCSE’s and yesterday had a 5 hour art exam and another today. She is a very talented artist but is now not sure whether to take it on to A level. Theres such a lot of work involved. I do hope she does . 🤞.

We should be at our seaside abode now and I worry about leaving it so long. Hopefully one of the boys will take us in a couple of weeks 🙏.

Happy birthday Mick. Enjoy your day. 🎈.

Take care all and enjoy this lovely weather.☀️

Pleased that your DH is more comfortable Gingster you do seem to be getting the very best care from our NHS.

Good luck with your appointment Marydoll . At last a face to face with your GP. It’s like gold dust isn’t it! 😉

Morning Mick, morning All from a very sunny Hampshire. We’re back home later after being thoroughly spoiled by friends.

A very happy birthday mick. 🎂🎈 1948 was indeed a very good year .

Have the best day you can everyone.

I hope your GP appointment goes well MaryD!

Good morning from a sunny Co Durham.
Happy Birthday, Mick. It’s DD2’s birthday today too.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from a cloudy Suffolk. Happy birthday Mick and excellent news Gingster from your appointment yesterday.

DH is dropping me off at my friend’s house shortly so we can get on the coach together for our trip to Redditch. Steam train ride tomorrow and then the widely acclaimed open air museum in Dudley on Sunday.

Best wishes to all for a lovely weekend.

Good morning from a sunny Essex coast. A very Happy Birthday Mick, have a lovely day 🍺🎂🎊.
Food shopping first thing then a pile of ironing awaits.
S went back to school yesterday and has her first GCSE today, Travel and Tourism, I hope she does well after all she has been through.
Enjoy today everyone, hopefully in the sun xx

Good morning all from a sunny Black country after overnight much needed rain.
Happy birthday Mick hope you have a good day 🎉🎂🎁.
Nice day in Stratford yesterday a pleasant trip along the river, think that's my cruising for the year not quite as exciting as some of our GNs amazing cruises. A new dress decided it wanted to come home with me, and we rounded the day off with a carvery.
Today I need to collect DHs prescription and meeting friends at the club later.
Hope your face to face appointment is more positive Marydoll and enjoy your day with DD.
Have the best day you can everyone ☀️.

I have everything crossed for S 🤞🤞🤞

Food morning all from a warmish North Leicestershire.

Many happy returns of the day, Mick and thank you for starting the GM thread.

We had a brilliant thunderstorm last night so no watering required today.

I have to do waitrose shop today and DH is off to Cheltenham Jazz Festival for a couple of days.

DGD1 had her 2 day Art GCSE a couple of weeks ago, Gingster. She loves art and is very talented but has decided that she won't do it for A level as she doesn't want to spoil her enjoyment of it.

Good morning from a sunny NE.
Happy Birthday Mick, hope you have an enjoyable day.
Sister and BIL will visit this afternoon.
Have a good day.

Good morning to the Birthday Boy Mick a very Happy Birthday. 🍹🍦

Off to our wonderful local amateur dramatics company tonight, where they will serve us jacket potato, chilli, salad, nachos, followed by a chocolate brownie, then the Show, all for just £20 a ticket.

Pretty hot here still in South Bucks.

37 posts already at 8am! 😁
I will read them all in a minute whilst I enjoy TIB made by Himself.

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s the start of another gorgeous sunny day here with a high of 20°C according to Alexa. My Kindle will be out this afternoon. I love sitting in the sun, reading. (I’m practicing for next week).

Before that I have an appointment at the nail salon over the road. Snipped short and I think I’ll have a French again. It always looks so stylish. Himself has a routine dental appointment.

I’ve just had a look on line at my NHS app. All bloods are normal apart from one - I’m at the very top end of pre-diabetic/low diabetes. Stress can play a part in elevating HbA1c and that’s not going to go away any time soon. However weight loss would help. I’m expecting the surgery to contact me today and I hope a conversation regarding what measures I can take to improve the situation can be had. I’d like to swerve medication if possible. 🤞

Enjoy today all who can and for those of us who are struggling, I hope your situation improves soon. x

Good morning everyone. Bright outside at the moment but not sure if it will last.

A very Happy Birthday to you Mick.

Some tidying and the garden to water this morning and a small case to pack.
We are off to Chatham later with DD1 and SIL. Overnight stay and then visiting the dockyards tomorrow.

Wishing all a good day whatever you are doing.

Good Mirning from a bright, sunny Durham. Another here wishing you a very happy birthday Mick.
My sleep pattern is haywire, but a little better last night, just as well, as DD2 and I have nail appointments this morning, then I’m hoping to nip into Newcastle or MetroCentre on my way home for a wander - plantar fasciitis permitting. I have done very little all week, other than drinking coffee!
🤞 Marydoll gets some much needed help today.

Best wishes to all. X

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday Mick 🎉🎂🍺

Just popping in to say Happy Birthday to Mick 🍻 🚵‍♂️

Hope everyone else has a good day too.

Another lurker wanting to wish Mick a very happy birthday… hope you enjoy the day🎂🍻

Good morning everybody from a sunny east coast.
I’d like to wish Mick a very happy birthday. 💐
Hoping everyone enjoys the bank holiday and any VE Day celebrations and the sun shines for you all. 🌞

Good morning from Sandhills northwest coast. Birthday greetings Mick, hope you have a nice day.
My journey home from the south went well yesterday until local train cancellations caused hold ups and packed trains.

My tooth abscess has really flared up and I’m booked in later this morning. I had a difficult night, popping pills and poor sleep. This means I will miss the art group this morning.
Thoughts to all🌺

Many happy returns of the day to you Mick!
Pleased to hear Gingster that your husband is catheter-free! One thing less to worry about.
Also happy birthday wishes to LLFL’s 9 year old granddaughter and Marydoll’s daughter in law who is 40 today.
Our neighbour (where we go to their 6 o’clock club for drinks) shares his birthday with you all too today - he’s 86.
So that’s x4 😁

Happy birthday, Mick, and congratulations on getting a GP appointment, Marydoll, hope it proves useful. Yesterday’s unplanned day turned out to be quite social so the lack of anything planned was a good thing. Oldies’ coffee morning today’s highlight and must think about clearing the kitchen at some point as the decorator starts work on Monday despite it being a bank holiday. Never ending excitement here!

Popping in to wish Mick a very happy birthday and thank you for the continuation of this lovely thread.
We have driven up from Surrey via Liverpool, Lake District and yesterday Culzean Castle. Overnight stop at Arrochar having managed the torturous route through Glasgow! I did wave to the Glesca grannies 😊. Today we are driving on to Ullapool and the ferry tomorrow to the Isle of Lewis where we are staying for the week. Wishing all a good day

Good Morning from a beautiful Co Armagh,
Happy Birthday Michael have a lovely day
My granddaughters are in the throes of exams too , one very academic , one very artistic
Art classs this morning, at the last session the teacher gave my painting a very wry look , I hope she can put me on the right path today
The cooler weather yesterday suited me more than the heat , so I’m pulling the curtains before I leave to keep the house at a lower temperature
Best wishes for all medical appointments and good luck with face to face discussions
