Good Morning Wednesday 4th June 2025

Good morning from a sunny W Kent where I shall be meeting up with friends today and catching on their news. Yesterday’s visit to the dentist went well thankfully
Good luck Mick and all the best to Iris. Sorry you have a bit of a wait Karmalady

Morning, a brighter dry start, yesterday we had lots of rain 👍
Off to M&S foodhall this morning to buy a voucher and flowers for my friend before I take her out to lunch for her birthday.
Then on to another friends house for a hair trim, a good thinning out is needed from my mop.
Best wishes for this afternoon Mick and a hug for Iris gMattie 🦩🦩

Good morning from N. Bucks where it is dull and breezy but dry at the moment.
WI sewing group this morning and then home to make cakes for WI meeting this evening.
Hope all goes well for Mick and Iris and others who have medical appointments.
Wishing all a good day with a smile along the way.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders where it's no' bad.
I managed my cycle ride without any mishaps the regular cyclists were kind and it was nice to catch up with old colleagues/friends over lunch at their golf club.

But driving across Edinburgh in the rush hour is not something to repeat.

Today a blood test and yarn group.
I had my lump on my eye examined on Monday. The doctor told me it should be left alone as any operation would leave scarring at best and worse, loss of sight.

I hope Iris's operation is straightforward. She is a very brave girl. 👏 gMattie

Good luck Mick with the scan 🤞

Hope everyone has a happy day and no more spilled cherries Marydoll

Good morning everyone from a cloudy Northampton, an unsettled forecast today. Yesterday afternoon turned out fine but windy and I had a good walk with my group. Vacuumed the sitting room furniture when I got home, and decided to wash the throws which line dried beautifully in the breeze.

Some upsetting news early yesterday morning - phone call from a friend to say that a mutual friend of ours had died the previous evening. I have known her ever since I taught her son in the 1970s, and she was a member of our ladies wine club. She had been taken to hospital on Fridaywith stomach pains, but unfortunately her heart gave out after an emergency operation. She was 84 I think. Luckily there was enough time for her son to fly over from the States to be with her. Must get a card for her husband.

Out for coffee this morning with neighbours and two ex-neighbours. Home made cake is promised....

No plans for the rest of the day except a Waitrose delivery late afternoon. The gardener should have come today but he messaged last night to say he had a chest infection.

Hope all have a good day.

Good morning from N Bucks- fine, but cooler and becoming more overcast.
Much love to Iris GrandMattie, what that little girl has had to put up with, it must be so hard when all a girl of her age wants is to enjoy her riding, her friends, and growing up.
Karma have you Googled Minicabs in S Somerset?
I can find a dozen from Crewkerne to Shepton Mallet and Glastonbury although I agree Somerton is in a bit of a desert. Worth pursuing though and having one or two firms’ numbers on your phone.
The Waitrose man has just been and Rosie will love him for ever as he came with a biscuit for her.
Doing lots of prepping today for a picnic supper friends and I are planning tomorrow at Holland Park Opera. We’re going to The Flying Dutchman , designed (again) by DD2 which has had excellent reviews. We’ll be outside in the grounds of Holland Park House but under marquee type cover so the cashmere poncho is coming out. A balmy summers evening would have been nice but it looks like rain and will be nippy.
Kind thoughts to all in pain or with worries and to those of you overdoing things -remember the plane/oxygen mask analogy and look after yourselves.

A mixed collection of contributions already this morning, a bit like the weather which seems very varied though I gather that we on the west of the country are likely to have some quite serious rain. I know the gardens need it but the roses really don’t like it and are at their best just now.

Am awaiting the scaffolders to take down their contribution to the fitting of the solar panels and have singing this afternoon. Am missing the car which will not be back until the end of next week. Thinking of Mick and Iris particularly.

Good morning Mick and all from Sunnyside sandhills northwest coast.
Enjoyed music club yesterday, tried out a new folk song, remembered all the words too from ages ago. Then indulged in a little clothes shopping.

Today to lunchtime recital and I do believe my cavity from the extraction is finally closing up, helped by salt water rinses.
I’ve sung Senta in The Flying Dutchman Rosie, it’s a wonderful part.

All the best for your procedure Mick and thoughts to Iris and all.🌺

Good morning everyone from cloudy Lancashire. Hope your procedure goes well Mick. Best wishes also to Iris GrandMattie.

Glad you’re feeling better Bellasnana.

Hope your DH’s scan goes well Sar53.

We went out for a pub lunch yesterday, my first time since leaving hospital. It was delicious but I didn’t manage to eat more than about half of it. Must remember to stick to the lighter bites menu in future. The premises were easy to access with my tri walker, it has given me so much freedom.

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

Wishing us all a happy Wednesday. 🌹
