Good Morning Tuesday 24th June 2025

Good morning all from a grey but sticky North Leicestershire.

I predict rain at about 11 am as i walk to the library for choir.

The doctor at the eye clinic suggested that I start having injections for my WMD so I have an appointment next week.

Have the best day possible, everyone.

Good Morning everyone from a cloudy and windy south coast. I woke up feeling really tired and wishing I could stay in bed but it’s back to the allotment to do more planting out. Two of the gang will be on holiday after today and we’re already a bit thin on the ground which makes it hard for me as they expect me to keep it all tickety boo for them.
My ‘locals’ are very friendly as well, grandMattie. I made more friends in a few months than I did in years where I used to live. It makes moving when you are older so much easier.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Morning from a dull S Hants, still no rain and none forecast. Yesterday I madly bought two pairs of shorts as I reluctantly threw two very old, but comfy pairs out.
Quiz was fun, we came fourth though, it does cheer up a Monday evening and gets us out.
We’re off to Weston Super Mare for a few days, hoping for a glimpse of ☀️
Very pretty Bellas wouldn’t last five minutes on me, always scrabbling in dirt.
What a tiring trip Ashcombe those poor drivers.
Right, best get packing then, enjoy your days all.
FGT 👍

Good morning from an overcast S E Essex, still warm though.

I slept for 8 hours last night without waking up, first time in ages at home ( I slept like a log in holiday)

The 10 ur old is not feeling that well, so he is coming here instead of school. He is no trouble such a good boy.

Lovely nails Bellasnanna I am rather boring, I usually have a pail pink or French in the summer and a really dark rouge noir all winter.

I will crack in with the ironing and rack my brains for ideas for dinner.

Enjoy your holiday house Gingster

I enjoy reading your posts MaryDoll true triumph over adversity anecdotes.

Have a good break Jaxjacky fingers crossed for the sun.

Good morning from Shropshire.Overnight rain.A dry, cloudy day forecast.

A lovely few hours with DGS1 yesterday.SIL came home from work and made us a meal then DD arrived in time to eat!

A quiet day at home today🙏🏻I have a long to do list but nothing too taxing.

Thoughts with all with mountains to climb and with our absent friends.

Wishing everyone the best day possible🌻🦩

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Rain.

I am going to a book launch this evening, and there's a drop in public consultation at the Town Hall about the future of that building, otherwise nothing planned.

Yesterday's concert was terrific. At the end 4 choirs (including a Gaelic one and Loud and Proud) on the stage at the Usher Hall together.

Amazing nails Bella
I hope your management situation improves gM.

My seagull chick is still beside the hollyhocks, attentive parents hovering high above. I've no choice but to keep well clear.

Hoping everyone has some joy today.

Good morning A bit late today, no particular reason. Rain overnight and dull now in N. Bucks.

Big smile yesterday , I was a n a local shop when I heard a small child singing, immediately knew it was our youngest DGS. I wandered around to the next use he spotted me and ran with arms outstretched . A cuddle and then he said “ you are the best Nana in the world !” He is such a happy little boy.

Some ironing and a few other jobs to do this morning and a couple of cards to make this afternoon. Watercolour painted ones I think.

Wishing you all a good day with a smile along the way.

Grey and still this morning so quite conducive to a morning’s admin plus pestering the car repairers for news of my car which is still apparently waiting for some small part or other. The insurance approved company have had it since 27 May and the repair was not a big one so I am beyond fed up. May have forgotten how to to drive at this rate!

Good morning everyone from grey Lancashire. It’s raining and windy.

Yesterday’s walk had to be abandoned, I spent the day going through heaps of documents, sorting them into keep, bin and shred. I think today will be more of the same. MrB has been to Lidl and to the farm butchers so we can hunker down.

Beautiful knitwork WhyWhyWhy.

As always, my thoughts are with those dealing with illness and troubles, I hope the day brings you some comfort and relief.

Have the best day you can 🌹

Morning from South Lanarkshire where ‘summer’ has reverted to normal and sun hat put away, hopefully temporarily. It’s the hope that kills you😊.
DD’s dog, Sadie has headed upstairs to continue her sleep on top of my bed but we might as well get the morning walk over before the rain starts so I’ll just say how nice it is to seeMizuna posting again. Is that the same grandson who was pictured mid air in that happy picture from a while ago?

Nice to think about you and your DH back in your holiday home Gingster, and hollysteers in the Bahamas.

My lovely young cleaner is coming this afternoon so after lunch I’ll put the heating on in my garden room and granddog and I can retreat there while she transforms my home. Actually it’s changing my bed for me that is the best bit.
She’s a really nice girl and her other job is as a carer, so she’s always asking me if I want ‘a wee cup of tea’ while she’s here😊

Lovely nails Bella.
Wishing everyone a good day.

Good morning from Co Durham.
Dgd here instead of school. She has a sore throat.
My cleaner is in holiday so yesterday I waved a duster around. Just back from hairdressers so I’ll now read this lovely thread.
Thoughts with those with illnesses and worries.

Good Morning from the East Midlands. A sad day. Developers are now ripping-up the huge Crop field, which I look-out on daily.
This openspace is or was home to numerous wild creatures & mature trees & a place beloved by the local community. Time for me to move but where? 😪

Good morning all.
I read every day but seldom post.
Just wanted to say to kitty that I had injections for WAMD for at least 18 months and it truly is nothing to fear.
The first one is terrifying in imagination but after that it becomes routine.
The drops for several days after each one was difficult as I had no one to do them and it was hit and miss as more ran down my cheek than reached its goal however they did the trick and never got an infection.
Dull and damp here in Stockport but my social calendar, now nearly nonexistent, won’t be troubled.
Have the best day you can everyone,

My nails are shocking, often they improve in the summer months but not so far. DD suggested I might be lacking in zinc. Lovely nails, Bellasnana, I am so envious of anyone with good, strong nails.

Best wishes everyone, the news upus all rather depressing so we have to look for the positives. I'm out to tea this afternoon, an unexpected treat. 🥪🍰☕

Hope all goes well when you start your injections kittylester.

Try to have the best day everyone.

Good morning everyone. I headed home last night. It's raining here, but the garden looks much more refreshed than when I left it on Thursday.
Quiet day planned. Going to try to finish a 1500 piece jigsaw puzzle and make up a knitted jacket for 1 of DS's pregnant friends.

Love your nails, Bellasnana. I've git gardeners nails, but I usually get them done in December for party season.
Gorgeous jumper, Whywhywhy. I love a cable knit.

Have a good day all. 🌻

Thank you Utbb. Can i ask how is your sight now?

Well to be honest the affected eye is not good because I had to stop treatment when my H couldn’t be left on his own and the visit for treatment was taking 3/4 hours.
The injections halt the progress of the AMD rather than treating it but I had to get my priorities right.
If caught early it is a great help though in saving the sight you have.
I now have the dry version in my right eye, it is being checked every six months and so far it is stable.
Very good wishes to you in your treatment.
You do know who I am I hope in my new incarnation?
