Gingster same for weeks now 🤬

I come out of my house each morning to a guessing game of spot the traffic lights

It must be horrendous for local businesses 🤷‍♀️

Good morning from a damp northwest coast after a restless night full of dreams. I dreamt I was about to sing solo in a large work I didn’t know and was engaged to a man from the opera company. Wasn’t sure if I wanted to go through with it, nice as he is. I’ll see him tomorrow at the rehearsal but won’t breathe a word of our engagement 😁

Not sure why I didn’t sleep well as I was jolly tired after a day with old friends, meeting up at 12 and they didn’t leave until around 9 in the evening. They liked my local newish restaurant very much and we get on like a house on fire.
Music club this afternoon but I’d quite like a stay at home day.

Good morning everyone from cloudy Lancashire.

I have had my breakfast and meds, showered and dressed. Putting my boots on ready for our usual morning walk around the Dock.

GP rang at 8am, kidney function test was low and I need to increase my fluid intake. It’s difficult finding a balance as too much fluid will adversely affect my sodium level. Repeat blood test in 2 weeks.

Thinking of our poorly grans and those with troubles, as always.

Wishing you all a good day, whatever you’re doing 🦩🦩🦩

Good Morning, damp and dark here in Co Armagh
Got lots done yesterday, the greenhouse is nice and tidy and gave up on some cuttings and chucked them
Madeline I don’t drive , my mobility isn’t great , my answer is my rollator , it folds down and can go in the boot os behind the front seats , I get to the garden I want to visit , my rollator is set up and I can walk to where I want to go , it has a good seat and a useful container under the seat , so I can walk to a good spot and sit down to take in the view
I can quite a distance , I’m off to a nice garden next week and will be able to get to every corner , sometimes kind companions have to lift it up or down steps while I can negotiate most flights if there’s a rail to clutch
Marydollso glad you got listened to
Dragonfly hoping for improvements

I’ve caught up with everyone while waiting for the laundry to finish.

A positive grandmab. Wonderful

Aldom if it’s possible to generalise from our last moving experience the more mature we get the longer it takes to feel part of a new community. You’ll get there I’m sure. Gradually you’ll find links to your interests and friendship will grow. It’s natural to miss established friends.

Good news maryd. All it takes is someone to listen.

Hope there’s sense about your heater grandmattie. What a palaver.

Apologies to those I’ve missed. The old brain isn’t what it was,

Mary doll I meant to say I am delighted that you have finally seen a dr who listened to you.
Onward and upward my dear friend 💪💪💪

Good morning everyone from a dark rainy East Coast.
The school run last night was difficult with the heavy rain we had. Part of it is on the motorway which I avoided with speeds and standing water so felt it was safer going cross country. My grandson took the change of route well as he can find little changes of routine hard.

I am spending the afternoon with my mum and we are going to visit another elderly relative. Mum doesn’t really go out in the winter she stays cosy with her little dog in front of her tv which she calls her lifeline to the world so it’s going to be a nice change for her today. I often say to her shall I treat you out for lunch mum and her words are ‘why would you do that I have food at home.’

DH has gone to clean our DS old house after his move ready to sell and he says in parts it’s a bit grim. Oh dear I thought I’d taught him better than that but he’s a busy man and doesn’t look below the surface so I’ll forgive him. My DH is fastidious though about that sort of thing so it will be spotless.

Sending a whole bunch of 💐to Dragonfly who is struggling so much but thinking of others too who often find some difficulty getting through the day.
Hoping there are sparks of joy today 🍁

Good morning from the west midlands. An overcast, blustery day here today. I'm still down-sizing and I'm ruddy fed-up with it to be honest! I came across a picture that looked just like DH's fling-woman! So my mission today will be to bash-it-up and swear at it a lot. Then, with a flourish of triumph, chuck it in the bin where it absolutely belongs. "Hell has no fury like a woman scorned!"
Men! 🤔
