Good to see you back. I missed you.

Dear MD many of us live for your novellas

I am hoping that you and your dil have turned a corner towards a brighter horizon

Great to see you back*md * you have been missed. Hope you're feeling better soon

Georgesgran 👋💐

So pleased to see you posting md and hope you will feel better soon. Very sorry to hear about your DDiL and hope that she will make a swift recovery soon. Also hope they can get her pain relief sorted! I agree with you about opiates, wonderful for pain relief but I can’t take them because I hallucinate!! Poor dollie it must be hard for her to see her mummy in such pain.
jaxjacky take it very easy! I hope the hip stays in the right place now!

Good Morning from a wet Co Armagh ,
I’m still in pjs , it’s not a good idea for me to put off dressing till after breakfast ! But some mornings I need food before facing the shower , well that’s my excuse and one plus of living on my own , luckily it’s only now and again
Inspired by reading different threads I have started clearing the carousels under the corner cupboards , I’m chucking all the different “berry” caffeine free t bags , decaf tea is much better , my worry is , will this avalanche of tea bags mess the resulting compost ? All the leaves are ok , but the wee bags are the problem ,
Glad to read messages from our missing posters but sorry that things aren’t great , your poor wee DIL MD 🙏🏼
Jax& I hope something can be done for your hip , it wasn’t a straightforward replacement , so maybe that’s the difference 🌷

Welcome back Marydoll, do not stop writing novellas!

And my very best wishes to your DiL, l hope she makes a swift recovery.

So good to see you back posting Marydoll but sorry that you are having to cope with so much pain and worry.

So glad your back, Md. 👋

Marydoll glad you are back but very sorry to hear about your health and your DDIL’s emergency op

Good to see you posting Marydoll take care and hope your DiL is soon allowed home to recover💐

Late good morning from a stormy NE, it has been a noisy night.
Had a lazy day yesterday, mostly just reading and watching TV.
DD rang late afternoon from her home in Brussels, they are having better weather than us.
She starts a new job next week so I will be interested to see how it goes.
Not leaving the house today. Might do some light housework.
Stay safe and warm.

Good to see Marydoll and Jax posting.

Late good morning from me.
I had an early morning call from Dd who is sick and not feeling at all well. Could I pick up gd and take her to school.

The rain and wind along with awful traffic took me over an hour to get her there.
We have 4 way traffic lights round the corner and alwaysa busy time , we were at a standstill and just crawling most of the time.

It’s ridiculous !

I’ve cancelled dogs vet appointment and Bridge this afternoon. I’m not getting in the car again today. Little DGD will stay here for the night and we can walk to school in the morning.

I’ll now have a coffee and read all your posts to relax .
Then walk little pooch who must be crossing her legs.

Take care ☔️💨

WhiteSwan63 Thank you for those tips on restaurants. I know what you mean about becoming emotional when you find something nice that you can have that’s gluten-free. We have a couple of places in Sheffield that are totally gluten-free. To be able to choose anything you want is a real treat.
A small problem with consideration for other posters that have tremendous health issues.

Good morning from a cold windy northwest coast. The sing a round went well yesterday afternoon, with a good turnout and lots of different music. I followed it by a jolly shopping trip to a Poundstretcher, which tempts me with all sorts I don’t really need. However I remained pretty sensible on the buying front.

I’ve had a very broken night. There’s no rhyme or reason why I get sleepless nights. I’d had a busy time, felt tired and then found myself lying awake.

I’m on duty at the music club this afternoon and coukd do with feeling more rested.
Good news re hip jax, lovely snowdrops grannyivy and thoughts to FGTs and all🌺

MD

Morning all from a damp and grey West Oxfordshire.

I managed to do all the things on my to do list yesterday, including dropping two bags of clothes off at the Charity shop, getting some different drops for dry eyes (the more expensive drops made my eyes very sore indeed), a bottle of vitamin D tablets and the usual Waitrose shop.

My toe still isn’t totally better.

I am seeing friends this afternoon and I will walk there!

Good to hear from MaryD and special thoughts to the FGT2S.🌹

Good to see you maryd and know your hip is behaving jax, an underwater garden doesn’t sound ideal.

Stay dry everyone. It’s foul here, so many flood warnings around.
