Good morning Tuesday 30th September 2025

Good late afternoon, or is it early evening?
Only just ‘found’ you 🙄
After an early walk with tiddler I spent the morning catching up with housework and laundry before spending a couple of hours in my Shed. It was really warm in the sunshine.
Yesterday DH and I cleared the small border under the kitchen window, it’s north-facing and gets little sun on one end and none on the other. A Christmas box was completely dominating it, so it’s been hoicked out and all I have left is a couple of Christmas rose hellebores, a white phlox and an arum lily which is struggling.
I will dig in loads of compost before I do anything else to it. I think I’ll put in lots of bulbs, mainly white, perhaps pink, and see how it goes.
There’s a Handl climbing rose and a Duchess of Cornwall clematis growing through it. They’ll need pruning to rejuvenate them, I haven’t touched them for several years so badly in need of tlc.
I hope today went well for everyone 🌹

Afternoon all from a beautiful blue sky West Oxfordshire.

OH has gone for a walk and I’m cooking. I’ve already made Yorkshire puddings and frozen them ready for this Sunday. I’m in the middle of making a family favourite - Delia’s chocolate bread and butter pudding. This will also be frozen and baked on Sunday.

Here is a photo of my latest picture in the downstairs loo!

I hope we’re all having a good day.

Marydoll it’s my daughter's birthday on Thursday. She was born on the Sunday of your wedding weekend! Haven’t seen her since my sister’s funeral in 2014. We’ve been estranged since her wedding in 2006. 😢

GM, I had that. My breast was purple and very painful, by the time they finished and my boss insisted I return to school.
Fingers crossed. X

Thanks folks. I had a biopsy done. The consultant is fairly sure I have benign calcifications but there are more than the last time so they decided to do a biopsy. I'm not going to lie, it wasn't fun! I'll get the results in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, I'm going for a lie down. I have the nurses permission!

Glad to see we are back on line; washing done and drying, beds sorted for next lot of guests, Wonderful Cleaner working her magic, so all in all a productive morning. This beautiful autumn weather is a joy to be stored up against what will come in a few weeks. A little walk this afternoon seems inevitable.

Good Morning all, I did think of starting the thread, so thanks GM.
I realised the GN website was down, but didn't have time to start the the thread once it was back online.

Thank you Borrheid, how on earth did you remember it was our 48th Wedding anniversary?
We are having a quiet day, I dont feel up to going out, but hopefully once things are more positive, we will celebrate.

GMB, I am praying for a positive result.❤️

We have just the wonderful received news this morning that a full match donor in from Australia has been found for DH's golfing partner.
He will hopefully receive his transplant in two weeks.
We are overjoyed.

I wish all all the best of days.

I’m late so good afternoon to all. I tried to post earlier and then had to go out. I’m just back from the garden centre had a good wander and a few purchases made! Quick sandwich have put chicken chasseur in the slow cooker and now out to put in my new plants whilst the sun is shinning. School pick up at 3.15 will come around quickly.

GMB fingers crossed all will be ok with your further tests.

Have a good afternoon everyone

I’m late, thanks gMattie and Good Afternoon Michael,
Best Wishes Gbatty for the best outcome.
Yesterday was very busy on the Good Neighbours phone line, 11 medical lifts sorted eventually.
It’s glorious today, I must get out for a walk after essential chores are finished.

Best wishes Grandmabatty

Marydoll Couldn’t let today go by without saying Happy 48th!

Good morning from Shropshire.A warm day.

I am back from Shrewsbury hospital having had a heart monitor fitted.I was in and out before DH found a parking space.

Grandmabatty, hoping for a positive result from your appointment🙏🏻and Redcar I hope your godmother is on the road to recovery soon.

Wishing everyone a good rest of the day🦩🌻

Good Morning all, due to the glitch Im not just reading but able to post as its still the morning! Normally by the time I've read everyone's posts I'm too late to do so myself, ( I do like to read before I post so that I'm up to speed as it were) and only join in after 12noon if I post a birthday greeting or similar.
Hope all goes well for you GrandmaBatty I had a recall after my 1st ever mammogram, which turned out ok, but I still remember well how I felt during that morning, 16 years later. xx

Good morning everyone. So pleased we’re back! It’s a warm sunny morning here in mid Essex and I’ve had my usual walk, plus another one round to the post office. I’m now enjoying a coffee and have just booked my Covid booster - oh joy!
Yesterday I met a friend for coffee at our local RHS garden, good to see her and catch up with her news. Then a wander round the shop and one of the gardens in warm sunshine.
My godmother was taken into hospital yesterday morning as she is still suffering from the after effects of food poisoning and not eating or drinking. She is eating a little now and I hope she’ll be well enough to go home in a few days. I’ll see her tomorrow if she’s still in hospital.
grandmabatty that sounds like a very thorough examination, I hope the results show all is well.
gingster I hope your DH gets on ok with the diabetes nurse, and sorry he doesn’t see that at some time he may need the wheelchair.
Have the best day possible everyone, enjoy any sunshine you may have.

Good morning, lovely day here in s somerset

I have been gardening all morning, digging 3 blackcurrants out and have ordered plenty of bulbs etc for perennial spring displays, raised beds but only 8" tall. Making my life easier going forward ie no watering or pruning, or picking

Lunch prep soon, hm ready casserole plus the veg I have already washed, then my daily treat of dark chocolate

A walk after my afternoon delivery arrives, organic fruit/veg box and dairy stuff, I need to be in to get that into my fridge

Have a good day

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Slow morning here, still marooned by the decorators who are doing a very fastidious job.
Back at school for me this afternoon, so I’ll walk there and back as I haven’t had a lot of exercise this week, apart from cutting the lawn yesterday.
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning all from Edinburgh where it's currently 15°.
Yesterday was a lovely day in Edinburgh. Breakfast was amazing, we chatted lots then ds took me to The Ivy for coffee. I was back in time to pick up the boys.
At the moment, I'm in the Breast clinic waiting room. I've had eight mammograms taken and I'm waiting for an ultrasound. The place is incredibly busy with so many women. I might be back in time to pick up the boys from school. Have a good day all.

Just tried again and there you were 👋. Thanks GM

Good morning all and it’s another beautiful day here in Essex.
I’ve walked the dog and been to our local Woodburner specialist. We have a lookalike gas type one but want to get rid and have a proper one put in. Hopefully before winter sets in.

Dh has an appointment with the diabetes nurse at midday, which will be an eye opener for him. He won’t be a happy bunny.

The wheelchair I ordered is now being returned as Dh says he definitely won’t use it. Oh well I tried!

I hope you all have a ‘good’ day. Take care 🌻

Thanks for opening up gM I was getting confused there
Quiet day yesterday after the cleaner left DH nodded off so the afternoon slipped by
Today I have one of my oldest friends coming over to me, usually I go to her.
We have a lot to catch up on as we know each others families very well
Best wishes to all
