Good Morning Thursday 2nd October 2025

GM, how irresponsible of your vicar, to attend with so many vulnerable people there. 😡

Good morning all from Glasgow, where it is 15°C, With rain forecast,

Birthday wishes for Iris,

Yesterday, everything went smoothly with my MRI. As usual, parking at the hospital was horrendous, with people going the wrong way round the one way system and others abandoning their cars,

To my surprise, I was informed that a chest xray had been requested and to save coming back, the radiographer escorted me to the X-ray dept., still wearing my gown., where I was seen immediately. I am finding the speed of this rather unnerving, considering that I have been waiting a year for a referral to respiratory dept. However, I am extrehely grateful.
Of course, as usual, I met someone I knew, who told ne how well I looked, in my gown,😂,

Our anniversary lunch did not materialise, we could not get parked, DH was becoming very stressed, he cannot cope with parking in town, To my disappointment, went home, sans lunch. I was so looking forward to it,
This has been a rubbish wedding anniversary!

Today, we have Babydoll, so I must get up and make her pancakes,
She does not cope well with deviations from her routine! Coral will not cut it.

I have noticed that Kalu has not been posting.

I wish you all, a pleasant day and best wishes for those, who are struggling.

Good Morning fr MS - 29c & sunny.
GG: I also enjoyed seeing that Roman bridge in Cordoba photo! The bird in my photo yesterday, is a Laughing Gull - a quite young one, wearing his 1st Winter plumage.
(1 of his v large family joins us @morning ☕️ & we've named him Logan, lol)
I hope today is a good day for everybody!

Good morning from south Glos, I don’t know what it’s like outside besides being dark 😊
I spent nearly all day yesterday sorting out my so-called craft room, aka the smallest bedroom, i was exhausted by mid afternoon! I emptied and tidied the built in cupboard and filled a black bag of rubbish plus another for the charity shop. I gave a friend some art material for her granddaughter too.
I need to tackle the table top today….
I don’t seem to have much oomph at the moment, so a quiet day today besides dog walks.
Best wishes to everyone 🌹

Happy birthday to Iris. GrandMattie, I think your vicar was a bit irresponsible attending when he has covid! Even at a distance.

Good morning from a dry, clear Bristol. It’s milder, in anticipation of the first of this season’s storms; Ada, I believe, will visit us tomorrow.
Yesterday went well, but I was wiped out, having been awake from 0230. The vicar told me (from a distance)t hat he has COVID so didn’t feel he could join in anything although he was there for the whole party.
The church was set out with chairs around little tables. Guests started to arrive at least 30 minutes before we even opened, some being annoyed that we weren’t ready! The AgeUK volunteers arrive; there were about 8 of them. Cake was cut and put on each table, the guests were very spoiled for their free entertainment, £2 donation cup of good coffee.
The singer was excellent,,once a couple started to dance, others joined in and were bopping according to their ability. The younger volunteers couldn’t believe their eyes. 😂
I don’t like crowds nor volume, so kept well out, washed up, made more coffee, etc. Sme 90 people attended.
At my close, the residents were enjoying the first coffee morning (organised by me) since February. The area manager popped in with an interviewee and introduced her. Apparently, she impressed the ones who spoke to her.
Meanwhile, I have also found out the the retired manager, who lives onsite and was supposed to have moved out on Tuesday after three months’ notice, was still there and wouldn’t be leaving for another 2-3 weeks. Ye gods! Apparently, the place is a tip and needs to be completely refurbished before a new manager takes it up. This means that it will be well after the new year before we have anyone looking after us. 🤬
I did nothing in the afternoon, although I was supposed to go to an afternoon tea. I was just too tired.
I have decided to take today off. It’s Iris’ 13th birthday today, and I have been invited to join them for dinner.
May all appointments bring good news, the travellers be safe and everyone hav3 a good day.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 14° and raining. Pantglas enjoy your coffee and natter.
Yesterday I picked up the boys, fed them and dropped them off at school. I stayed and did half an hour's work in the school library, then came home and lay down for a while. Later I picked up the boys again and took dgs1 to his football training and deposited dgs2 at his house. Back home, I tidied up the kitchen which had been left for a couple of days, removed the matchbox cars from my living room and had steak and sausage casserole out of the freezer. Then, thoroughly exhausted, I went to bed. The procedures on Tuesday had taken more out of me than I realised.
Today will be a rerun of yesterday mostly. No football training but I'm keeping the boys til half five. It's their parents evening at school/nursery so dd will get them afterwards. Dgs1 bought a book at the school book fair yesterday. He told his mum he had bought a football diarrhea! 😂
Of course he meant diary.
Have a good day all

Good morning early birds from a cool north Wales coast where my wake up time is getting back to normal in half hour increments…🥱 who’d have thought a 2hr time difference mattered🤔

Loved that picture of Cordoba GG! Did so many trips there for ferias and festivals - it was probably my favourite city to trot around as everything was within walking distance ❣️

A visit to my dad’s this morning to listen to his woes (none of which will stop him swanning off to Goa next month 🤦‍♀️) then the reward of a coffee and natter at a friend’s!

Hope for good news from all on the medical fronts…💐
