Good Morning Thursday 5th June 1025

Morning Mick, morning All from a soggy corner of Somerset.

The fight over our far from smart meters continues. 14 months now with no resolution. The engineer may as well move in, he’s as frustrated as we are. Yet another formal complaint dispatched. We have been allocated a ‘problem solver’ who will phone on Friday. I don’t anticipate the problem will be solved.

Chores completed, frustration speeded up the dusting, I booked Mr C’s choice of a pre-Christmas day trip while he headed for a restorative nap. Equilibrium, sense of humour and energy restored we wandered out for a short walk in fleeting sunshine returning with a cream cake each, oops. Very good they were too .

Today it’s a trip to a shopping mall. Some bits and pieces to gather for forthcoming family birthdays, there’s no rush, it will be a slow start which is very welcome.

Take it easy mick, hope the discomfort passes soon. What a shame for Iris, so frustrating grandmattie. I’m pleased the GP is being pro-active for you and wish you the best outcome.

Have the best day you can everyone.

Good morning from Malta where we expect a high of 31°C.

Just arrived at DD3’s and the boys are still fast asleep, lucky things!

I will try to take them out today if I can summon up the energy.

Sorry to hear poor Iris waited all day for nothing. What a let down when everyone was geared up for it.😞

Have a good day all.☀️

Good morning all. Grey, overcast but so far, dry this morning in Glasgow..

Sunny, dry spells yesterday looked so inviting from the kitchen window but pottering in the garden with 40mph gusts was anything but a pleasure and I eventually gave up and stayed indoors with a list of tasks to choose from happy to leave my gardener to continue on. Hairdressers this afternoon and collect scripts is my outing today.

Poor Iris mentally prepared for surgery only to be told to go home as her op was cancelled. One example of NHS at its worst.
Hope you feel better as the day goes on Mick.

Best wishes to all for a good day and strength to those struggling through difficult times.

Good morning from a rainy Torbay.

I think you need to be kind to yourself, Mick, and follow the good advice from Susan 56 to help you recover from the procedure.

Poor Iris! It’s bad enough when adults have disappointments over treatment in hospital but very hard on a child. I do hope she doesn’t have to wait too much longer, grandMattie.

It’s good to hear that you are trying to resume your normal life, Sallyforth; not an easy time for you but well done for getting back into your hobbies.

I have a physio appointment at 8 am for them to look at the hip that was troublesome last December and on a couple of occasions since then. You might remember it left me unable to put weight on my left leg.

This afternoon, I have an appointment with a different dental hygienist. I have to go an hour early to take a precautionary liquid antibiotic due to having had mitral valve surgery in the past.

Wishing everyone as good a day as possible and happy landings to Pantglas2. 🦩💐🦩🥰🦩

Good morning all from a damp north Wales where I’m all excited as we’re off to 🇹🇷 Antalya tomorrow for a week (another first) I’ve been researching Turkish food and can’t wait to try new dishes 😋

Had my last Glass Workshop yesterday and am rather pleased my piece de resistance turned out so well (not everything I attempted did…🤬). I’d love to have a go at pottery LLFL and am definitely signing up to more Glass classes in September 🤗

Will try and keep up with all your doings, t internet dependent, but hope all have happy outcomes with their health woes x

Good morning Mick. It's lovely to get your greeting each morning, but today I'm a little concerned about you. What you must do is 'to get some solid food' and ignore the laundry for today. Start off with small amounts like toast and perhaps an egg to begin to build up your strength. At the moment I have the alarm on my phone to remind me to eat something small and light every two hours.

It's pouring down here in Cheshire. Even my garden is saying enough!

This week I'm making progress in recovery from grieving for my sister. I went to the hairdresser. Yeah! I'm going back to my art group this morning as I've missed it and the people.

Have the best day possible. Kind thoughts to those with worries.

Good morning from a drizzly Bristol.
I’m so sorry you’ve had a rotten time, Mick. I hope things improve soon.
Poor Iris sat at hospital until nearly 5pm only to be told to go home. The surgeon was willing to do the op, but the hospital refused. A possible appointment for next week but nothing definite. Disappointment all round.
My GP appointment went well. The growth on my face which worried me is a wart, but the GP found other areas of concern, so I’m being referred to a dermatologist after photos are taken tomorrow.
Just tai chi today - now the op has been postponed, I might dine at DD’s. I have to check.
I hope the mountains to be climbed are only hills…. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩
