Good afternoon to anyone who reads Mick’s Good Morning thread late in the day!

I really just wanted to say, I hope things improve for all who have additional health concerns at the moment -

Susan, I hope you don’t have to go through another scary night like last night and get back to forward progress

Marydoll, I was really sorry to read that you have yet another health condition to add to your list. Autoimmune conditions seem to like to keep each other company, as my DD2 knows only too well. I hope you get some helpful treatment as soon as possible.

Blossoming, I am glad to read that you are on the correct medication now to stabilise your BP.

FGT, your DH sounds an amazing man who has an amazing wife - I hope he has positive results from his scan.

LFL, hope you have by now, had a response from your GP about your thumb and some remedy for whatever is causing the pain.

Many others on here with ongoing challenges - I hope for positive things for you to outweigh the negative.

DH and I are recovering from a delightful but exhausting day out with DGD (6y) in Brighton yesterday. We spent a fair bit of time in the Lego shop and toy shop which were cooler than outside and had lunch under the shade of the trees in the Pavilion Gardens. We then went to the library to use the toilets (!) and DGD decided she liked trying out all the little ‘nooks’ that are there for the smaller readers - some complete with ‘cool’ lighting. DGD has, unfortunately ‘gone off’ books - she started the summer reading challenge but has only read two of the six books she needs and could not be persuaded to so much as glance at a printed page, even when accompanied by great illustrations.

We returned DGD and ourselves home and were heading for an early night to find that our hall radiator was on and absolutely blasting out heat. We had a new boiler fitted about six weeks ago, together with a Hive controller. Our phone would not connect to the Hive, even after following all the troubleshooting instructions and eventually we turned off the boiler at the mains switch and went to bed. Our installer is sending someone out to look at it ‘before the end of the day’. In the meantime it has turned grey and cool outside 😲
