Marydoll Wed 14-May-25 12:42:23

Thank you all, I have had a lovely morning. DD popped in as did a friend.

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny Algarve.

This is the first day that we haven’t had some rain forecast since March! Sometimes just a few drops but other times real down pours. Apparently there are no worries about drought for the next two to three years.

I hope the weather lasts as the DDs are visiting over the weekend.

Happy Birthday to Marydoll, and I hope you feel better as the day goes on. 🥂💐🎂
Happy Birthday to you too creativeness 💐🥂🎂

I love Gransnet, but you all put me to shame! You are all so busy, dashing about here and there, cleaning, catching buses, shopping, gardening ………all before breakfast! It’s lovely to read about it but makes me feel inadequate. I told my daughter this and she said, ‘well, what do you expect, Mum, you are nearly 80!’ I think she meant to make me feel better! 😂
I had a panic this morning when I went to open a new box of my meds and couldn’t find it. I looked high and low, even phoning my chemist to see if I had actually picked up my last prescription. I had. Panicked call to surgery who will issue me a replacement, but I have to go in person to collect it. Coffee first, I thought. Waiting for the kettle to boil, I pulled the microwave out so I could wipe underneath, and there was my pack of pills! I really must be more careful!
Nothing special happening today. I need to sort out some neglected bills etc and file them.
I lead a very interesting life!
Have a great day, all. The sunshine is wonderful to see.

Thinking of the *Fgt’s.
Hope everyone has as good a day as possible.

Happy special birthday to Marydoll 🎂
Happy birthday to creativeness too. 💐

And hoping the best for the FGTs.

Beautiful day yesterday. Here are photographs of the family of swans at Doune Ponds which is just a few miles from us and is a lovely walk. Unfortunately there is a heron waiting to pounce!

Happy Birthday Marydoll x

Happy birthday marydoll. All the best people are born in May smile.

Good morning everyone from sunny Lancashire. Looks like I have missed out on some early morning spam!

Very pleased to read all went well with DGS2 Bellasnana.

Happy birthday Marydoll, a very special day, and a beautiful gift from your DH. Hope you get some relief from the pain.

Your op seems to have been a resounding success GrandmaBatty, so pleased for you.

Hope you feel better soon Kalu.

I have no real plans for today, MrB has taken the car to be serviced, I have a few achy muscles so I think I’ll attack the storage drawers in the bathroom. They’re in serious need of a declutter!

Hoping today’s appointment goes well for FGT2 and her DH and there is some positive news.

As always, my thoughts are with those under the weather or dealing with sorrow in their lives.

Wishing all you all a happy Wednesday 🌹♥️

Good morning from Sunnyside sandhills northwest coast.
Yesterday the final procedure at the dentist (hopefully) injection and dry socket seen to. Antibiotics finished and fly to Greece this afternoon for family holiday. Dsister arrives earlier and I arrive with DD and DS tonight. DGD sadly can’t make it this year. DD has been so good making the arrangements.

I found the old series “The Pallisers” on YouTube last night so will enjoy watching the series I didn’t see the first time round.

Thinking of the FGTs, Jaxjacky with her dental appointment Madeleine and all🌺🎼

Good morning from a sunny Dumfries and Galloway.
Slept until 9.15 this morning after being in the fresh air all day yesterday.
We spent the day at Logan Botanic garden and then watched the red squirrels in our garden.
When it got dark we watched the ISS pass over, third night in a row and apparently we will be treated to 7 minutes of it tonight.
Happy Birthday Marydoll and creativeness.

Happy birthday MD! 🥳🎂🎁
I assume there’s cake!

mamaa Wed 14-May-25 09:28:07

Morning, read often but rarely post. Thought I’d just pop on to wish MD a Happy 70th birthday, and to say thinking of the FGT’s today and hope all have as good a day as they can. xx

creativeness Wed 14-May-25 09:20:17

Happy birthday Marydoll . It’s my birthday too!!

GrannySomerset Wed 14-May-25 09:18:15

Happy birthday, Marydoll; it snowed the week in May when DH was born, 90 years ago - his mother described seeing snow on the tops of cars when she looked out of the window.

Still waiting for the vital part for the shower and am reminded of childhood with strip washing and hair washing in the kitchen sink with a jug to pour water over. Am entirely fed up with it all! Meanwhile I have singing this afternoon and a certain amount of admin to deal with. Fingers crossed for the FGTs.

Taichinan Wed 14-May-25 09:14:05

Good morning Mick and all. And Happy Birthday to Marydoll 🎂🎉. 70 years young! And it sounds as though your DH has done you proud.
No wonder you are all upset about your friend having to have a bone marrow transfusion - it's a harrowing procedure. DD's husband went through it 20 years ago, so maybe things have improved in the intervening years. For him it meant that he had another ten years to be with his little family and saw his babies grow into lovely 10 and 12 year olds. He wouldn't have had that without it and was so grateful for it.
Good to hear little twin is home again Bella. How the older twin must have missed his little brother!
Grandmabatty there's plenty of time to tackle your slightly-less-than-perfectly-clean cupboard doors!
I'm going to have to dash now and get going. The sun is shining again after two days of that blessed haar which means I have re-found the energy to tackle the neverending To Do List!
Enjoy your day everyone, and best wishes to you Madeleine on your recovery. Take it easy 🫂
And Ash I hope Olddudders completes his journey home this morning.

Good morning from a cool, cloudy Durham - a high of 14 forecast.
Meeting a friend for coffee at 10 as she needs to get away before the lunchtime rush.

Happy birthday Marydoll. My 70th isn’t a day to remember.
Wishing the FGTs well for today’s appointment too.

Best wishes to all. X

Grandmadinosaur Wed 14-May-25 09:08:43
