Good Morning Monday 28th July 2025

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. 💐

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

Really sorry posted on the thread but thank you Grannyme6

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.

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.

FGT2 so glad to hear your OH is home. 🪻

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.

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.

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

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🌺

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.

As FGT would say, # slutty gran.. 😉

No Marydoll only #lazygran! 😂

Madeleine your post has me wallowing in nostalgia. In the mid 50’s we used to drive from Co Durham to Blackpool for the illuminations. Sometimes dad used to take to the side roads to Keld and Muker. A favourite Sunday run in those days was to Richmond and Swaledale or to Tan Hill. Thank you.
After an early appointment with the accountant I’m now having a rest. Thankfully it’s just a ten minute walk. I’m sure it’ll do me good. Set off in rain home in blue skies and sunshine.
Have a good day everyone.

👋 Crossstitchfan we all bring something to this friendly thread. Great photo peli! No wonder you sit there to enjoy your coffee.

I have a very weak Himself at home. He’s angular in looks but strong in spirit. It will take some time to build his strength and stamina back up. Baby steps. Thanks for all the messages of support. x

Thank you for the boost Grammaretto

Good morning all from a slightly cloudy East Kent.
I am a bit worried that so many GNs are remarking on it feeling Autumnal! They are right, but it’s only July! It would appear that the seasons have moved. Scary!
I have got the exciting job of filling out my Tax return over the next day or two. A job I hate with a passion!
One of my grandsons had a birthday last week. He asked his mum if he could have a barbecue. No problem, except that was the only day in ages that it decided to rain! We had a good time though and will have a bbq at a later date.
I don’t normally post on here in my own right, usually only responding to other posts. I always think no-one will be interested in my day. But then I realise how much I like reading what everyone else is up to, so hopefully, someone might be interested in me!
Have a safe and calm day.

Good morning everyone from an overcast Northampton, but expected to be dry all day. My bedding is in the washing machine and should dry nicely.

Didn't do a lot yesterday; finished washing the rest of my freezer containers and shall be sorting storage for them shortly.

Not much planned for today; shall put fresh sheets etc on the bed, damp dust the bedrooms, and clean the bathrooms. And then this afternoon catch up with my reading.

Glammagran, indeed I know Bowood very well! It was often our Sunday walk as children. We would walk from the gates in Silver Street/Mile Elm, and come out at Black Dog on the Chippenham Road. A good few miles! In later years DH and I would stay at the hotel there in April to celebrate our wedding anniversary or my birthday.

Wishing all a pleasant day.

Good morning everyone from sunny Lancashire.

I’m sitting up in bed drinking a cup of tea, all meds taken until tonight. Today will be much the same as yesterday. MrB and I will be enjoying our usual walk down to the Dock gates to count the ducks. I will start a new bracelet this afternoon.

Love the dress Karma.

Enjoy the trip Marydoll.

Love the photo Peli.

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 🌹

Waiting for the chiropodist who will be late because of the many local road closures which are set to make August a trying month, not helped by the fact that the local authority have not posted the details so it is impossible to warn her.

Good news fromFGT and glad that Marydoll is getting a little break which she really needs. Hope that navigating is not totally frustrating! Will have to find a project for the next few weeks as most things seem to stop and life will have even less shape to it. There is a limit to the amount of reading even I can do.

Morning all from a cloudy south coast. Allotment this morning to check in a few things. I had reports over the weekend of children from a neighbouring plot messing around with the water standpipe, making water bombs and flooding our pathway. With water so scarce it needs discouraging but as I wasn’t there I’m not going to make a fuss but just check everything’s OK for now. I will take photos if necessary.
Tesco delivery this afternoon. I have a busy week ahead so have decicided to give Aldi a miss and conserve my energy.
Hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning from a grey and cool NE, the heating came on and woke me up.
DS and GDs visited yesterday, it was lovely to hear what they had been up to.
At 5pm we switched on the TV as they wanted to watch the football match. I watched the first half and then prepared dinner.
We watched the end of the match together and there was a lot of shouting and excitement.
DIL found a car she liked and sorted the purchase on Saturday so GD1 will get to keep her mum's previous one.
Today I need to wash and iron, the laundry hamper is full to the brim.
Lovely to hear FGT has her DH home, such good news.
have a good day.

Morning all from a sunny start to the day here on the east coast of Fife. I went to church with a couple of my friends yesterday I gave them both some of the Chillie con Carni I made for my BBQ they were delighted. I had to wear my raincoat yesterday it was tipping it down - honestly the weathers all over the place at the moment

Have a good day my friends keep safe

Morning from cloudy South Lanarkshire. Subtract 30 and half what’s left Grandmabatty, and you are near enough, an approach to maths which led me to constant failure😳😊

Dentist this morning and then lunch with my neighbour friend. She’s been on holiday with family in Seahouses which I love and where DH and I had many happy holidays.

Tonight my son in law is picking me up and taking me over to theirs as DD2 is accompanying me to a hospital appointment tomorrow for an extended assessment of my macular degeneration. I do realise already that I’m going to have to change my lighting at home, it’s becoming a bit challenging. As is my memory which is why she’s coming!

Very glad to see that things are improving for the FGTs, and wishing everyone a good day.

Good morning from a bright sunny 17 degree Cambridgeshire forecast 23 degrees by mid day.

Again nothing much planned today just pottering around the house and garden enjoying some quiet time

Have a good day everyone

Thanks for the hugs and kind words. Xx
