I didn’t think I looked round either! I weighed about 7 1/2 stone and was losing weight before the wedding - nerves I think - and had to keep having it taken in. No chance of that now.
Alas those days are far behind me

Lovely photo Maw but I don't think you look at all round!

Maw how lovely and you both so happy.

Hear,hea! What wonderful wedding photo.
I too am short & dark & hubby is tall, fair & slim.
Opposites do seem to attract. Nature's way of mixing -up the gene pool I expect. 🤔

A late good morning from sunny N Bucks
Paw and I were married 55 years ago today in the University Chapel, St Andrews in a Fife hoolie.
He saw our 47th anniversary but no more..
My bridesmaids (sisters in law) will be ringing me today but sadly there is nobody else left who remembers that day.
But I do though 😍😍
Wishing you all a pleasant day, relief and respite for those who need it and comfort for those with their memories

We had approximately the same difference in height as you! 6’4 and 5’.
What a beautiful smile! You are very pretty!
We managed 55 years but I would have loved to have had double that time! Why did it have to go so fast?

Good Morning from the East Midlands.
Strange encounter today with hated neighbour, who was wearing very ,very snug shorts. The sight of her very visable camel- toe is going to be very hard to forget!
The day can only get better. Tra-la-la. 😊

Lovely picture, Maw, like us you were one small and rounded, one tall and thin. Don’t men look good in morning dress! Hope today brings some smiling memories.

A poignant day Maw 💐

🙏🙏 Hollysteers
We clearly enjoyed the same good taste 😍😍

hollysteers Fri 25-Jul-25 10:00:59

Thinking of you too Rosie, your late DH has a look of my late DH😢💕

Good morning from a now dull northwest coast. The sun has taken his hat off…
DD arrived from the south late afternoon and we had a chicken casserole before she popped out for a friend’s birthday. She has enviable energy, having flown long haul the day before.
I carried on watching Outrageous which I’m getting into and my U channel reappeared after mysteriously disappearing.

I’m going to tidy the spare bedroom as DGD is arriving on Monday and I’m using it as a dressing room, clothes everywhere.
Don’t mention autumn Mizuna, I love this weather!
Thoughts to the FGTs and all🌺

Love the photo Marydoll, hope the ear appointment helps. MrB is very deaf in one ear and used to complain I spoke too quietly, though strangely he would always hear me whisper “Deaf old git”!

Good morning from a cloudy south coast. No rain forecasted unfortunately.
Yesterday’s lunch at a seafood restaurant was lovely. We sat outside, sipping cocktails and admiring the boats in the marina. Goodness knows what they must be worth! We can dream. 😔
Housework and gardening today.
Hope everyone has the best day possible.

grandMattie Fri 25-Jul-25 08:58:22

I so hope the “ acuuming” of your ears is successful, MD. 🍀

The bear hunt.

Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow, where it is currently 16 °C and quite dull.

Ash, my DH is very messy, it is my house and I cannot bear untidiness! I try to clear up, all to no avail.
As soon as I have wiped down the worktops, I can guarantee, that he will be at my tail, leaving a trail of mess in his wake, after making a coffee. and he drinks gallons of it. 🤬
He never tidies up after himself.
Yesterday, I counted three sweaters on the back of a dining room chair. He cannot understand, why I get so annoyed.

Yet another restless night, I woke at 5am wide awake, took some pain relief and dozed off until half an hour ago.
Yesterday was hard going, , not helped by the blinding headache.
BabyD hadn't slept and was one cross baby, as were her mummy and daddy, due to lack of sleep.
She is a clone of her daddy, who never slept mucjh either, until he went to school.
I had a déjà vu moment, when, determined to be independant, she tumbled down the stairs to the garden.
There was a never to be forgotten incident, when her daddy, at three years old, fearlessly, rode a bike down stairs at my mother's. He looked as if he had been in a car crash! 😱
Initially, she wasn't keen on the bear hunt, believing there actually was a bear, until I explained the bear was sleeping in his house..it didn't help that she was stung by nettles and no Ddock leaf to be found, 😌
The three of us had large sticks and had to explain to every dog walker we met, what we were doing,🤣
I had to bribe her with chocolate buttons to put on her new puddle suit. She thought it was her old one and remembered it was too tight. She has the memory of an elephant.
For most of the day, she was very clingy, I couldn't prepare dinner, she insisted on assisting.. I'm sure you can imagine the mess!

Today, I will do just a small supermarket shop and try and use up, what is the the cramned freezer. I have absolutely no idea what is in it!
I may add lemons to the list.😉
A carpet shampooer, will be delivered. I am keeping that info to myself, because the family kept borrowing the previous one, never cleaned it and someone eventually broke it.

Finally, I have my long awaited ear microsuction appointment. I am trying not to raise my hopes, then I won't be disappointed! If it doesn't help, I shall need a referral, otherwise there may be a divorce in this house, DH has a very short memory (forgetting his own recent hearing problems and my efforts and patience resolving it) and has absolutely no patience with me, when I can't hear hear his ^ mumbling.^. 😌

Best wishes to all, who are struggling, have the best day possible.

Good Morning from Newcastle. It’s a glorious morning here and I’m at DD2’s waiting for our taxi to the airport.
I’ll be glad when we’re airborne, given the ‘frequent’ assistance issues.
Lovely afternoon with DGS1 yesterday. I took him to the zoo and we both enjoyed it, even though my favourite snow leopards were asleep.

Best wishes to all. X

Good morning everyone from sunny Lancashire.

A quiet day planned. I’m enjoying a cup of tea in bed before getting up and taking a shower. UTI test sample to be dropped off. MrB and I will be enjoying our usual walk down to the Dock gates.

A warm welcome to any new posters I may have missed.

Thinking of our poorly Grans and families, as always.

Have the best day you can everyone 🌹

Good morning from a sunny NE.
Unfortunately I was unable to sleep at all last night so watched a whole series on Netflix to occupy the time.
Yesterday I walked to my local supermarket, could only buy a few basics because I can not carry heavy bags but it was an outing. My friend had to cancel as she is having several health investigations.
Could have done with some help last night, the attic hatch fell down with ladder attached, it is in my bedroom.
Nothing planned for today, I am guessing my sister will be getting in touch to tell me all about her holiday.
Have a good day.

Morning all from a humid West Oxfordshire.

We enjoyed our theatre trip yesterday. A Winters Tale at the RSC in Stratford. As always the range of acting ability was wide! However, Bertie Carvel as King Leontes was superb. When he spoke his lines we knew what he was saying - and we could hear him. A good day.

Today I am out at the Art Society lecture, collecting one of my framed pictures and having a pedicure and chin wax.

OH is out with his target shooting club all day.

Have a good day. I’m thinking of FGT as she prepares for her OH’s return. 🪻
