Just popped back to see if there’s been any additions to the GM thread- don’t know why I did but now I’m here, I’d like to add my thoughts and prayers to FGT and Himself. Sending love and strength to them and their family. xx 💐

FGT flowers prayers 🙏 ☘️

I'm away down in England somewhere attending a conference. It's lunchbreak. The food is excellent and too much.

The weather is calm and warm, at least by my Scots standards.

I hope others are managing the high winds. DD in the Highlands has had power cuts.

Take care.

👋 Beechnut not heard from you properly in ages - unless of course I’ve missed your posts, quite possible for me these days.

Today here is difficult. The GP has increased the pain meds for Himself and consequently he spends more time sleeping. It’s a bit lonely and very sad seeing his reduced QoL.

Good morning all from sunny glos where there are lots of fast moving clouds.
I’ve just returned from town where there are lots of older people wandering about in the car park, chatting (probably to people they haven’t seen since this time last year 😂) and heading in the direction of of the doctors as was I. I was invited to queue jump as I had my stick and my flu jab was soon done. No covid as I’m too young.
I’ve crafting to do today as there are a few birthdays coming up

Have a good day all 💨🍃🍂

Good morning from the windy but sunny West Sussex coast.

I have been out for my flu jab this morning and I hear DH just arriving back from his. He had his Covid one last week but I’m too young for this one 😀

I need to put away summer clothes and pack for a mini-break in Bath next eeek with old university friends.

Marydoll, I’m glad you’ve opened up now to your family (though I can completely understand you wanting to spare them from worrying). 🌺

RosesandLilac, things seem tough for you recently - hope you can hang on to the positives (like your lovely sounding garden and your equally lovely sounding dogs 🌹.

My coffee is waiting ☕️

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny 🌞, but very windy, Northampton. I really need to get to Sainsbury's and M&S Food, but there is no way I am venturing out in this wind. It will have to be tomorrow.

Dodged the rain yesterday to get to dance classes, which went well, apart from one of our ballet routines which descended into chaos! The problem was that our teacher changed the direction we do it in, and as I am the leader in this particular dance I lost all my marker places in the hall as to change of direction and steps - we ended up convulsed with laughter and in a complete muddle! Luckily we still have six weeks to get it right...

Had an unexpected phone call from a teaching colleague of fifty years ago yesterday afternoon, and we have arranged a lunch out for the week after next, which will be lovely. Hoping that another ex-colleague will join us.

Will be staying in today, and thinking that I may put some fruit to soak in hot tea for a tea loaf; I will vary the fruit mixture a bit and add some dried apricots to the mixture.

What a terrible thing to happen to your poor neighbour, Ash; sadly.for her that will take ages to dry out.

Lovely pumpkins, Peli. My autumn offering is Autumn cushion covers, and a pumpkin spice diffuser.

Wishing all a pleasant day.
