Good Morning Everyone,
I have woken to a dry but grey sky above here in brackley this morning.
Apart from my usual routine , housework prior to going to Bicester to shop ,and say hello to those I know.
Living in a Anchor Residental Home in a bedsit , I lookout on to a garden , some of the residents receive care,and even myself can pull the cord if I feel as though I require help with my health .
Health at the moment OK , keeping a daily figure of weight as I have lost some over past few months .
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning from yet another dull day in Stockport.
At least it is not chilly and I haven’t felt Autumnal yet.
My GD and her BF arrived back from Anglesey late afternoon yesterday and immediately went out to see friends.
I was already in bed when they got back and I felt rather neglected, perhaps just unreasonable and low.
They are saving for their own place and I must get used to it.

Just Sainsbury’s delivery today between 12and 1.
I only did the order yesterday as I was short of a few things, one most important was Tea bags, guess which didn’t make the list?
I can manage for a few days, a friend is taking me to M&S on Wednesday so I can get some then.

Good to hear “himself” is back where he belongs, just needs good food and lots of attention now.

Have the best day you can everyone.

Good morning from Sunnyside sandhills northwest coast.
Fab day yesterday with DD. We popped over to Knutsford and had a good roast dinner, generous in size, in a pub where Ken Barlow once held the door open for me😁. It’s such a pretty place (Cranford) and put a posy on Elizabeth Gaskell’s grave, which is very plain.

Today DS and DGD arrive, DD is cooking one of her ‘signature’ dishes and I am giving the spare room a tickle for an overnight stay.
DD spent quite a time transferring everything to my new phone, she’s very patient (unlike me…)

Pleased to hear your news FGT and thoughts to madeleine and all🌺

Fgt. So pleased himself is home. Best place with your care and attention

Here's hoping himself will be in robust health very soon FGT in your tender care. Seeing the DGC will help too. Children are a tonic.

FGT2 I was delighted to see that Himself is safely home with you, and improving under your care!
The last couple of months must have been an absolute nightmare for you both so here’s hoping his recovery will continue with his ongoing treatment from the Christie.
Very best wishes to you both.

Hello Kitcheners.Not felt like posting lately.I have not been in a good place mentally and physically and will not inflict it on here.Anyway getting help now for both and I feel blessed to have a few friends that I can talk too.

DH has not been great his breathing has been bad but, last few days he seems much better thank goodness..He has all his scans again on the 8th of August and will be good to get that done and the results.
DS1 and family are in Portugal this week they have hired a beautiful villa I’m sure they will all have a great time.Next week we have Boris dog,DS3 and family are going to Cornwall so no doubt he will keep us busy.🐶

So pleased to hear himself is home FGT it must feel good to have him back where he belongs but I can understand you being apprehensive.I know I felt the same when DHS came home after his surgery.❤️

Kind thoughts to all.

Good to see your post Yia and that you’re feeling a bit better now. I hope your husband keeps improving and the upcoming test results are good. I don’t often post on GM but read regularly so have been aware of trying times for you and other folk, including FGT of course. Wishing you well and continuing better times ahead.

Yiayia no need to be sorry. We’re here to support you. Sending hugs.

Sending you the BIGGEST and BESTEST virtual hug Yiayia.
Fear is an awful emotion to endure when it walks beside you. I know it too. I hope you are much reassured by your husband’s scan result. 💐
