Good Morning Wednesday 25th March 2026

Roses, just found your post; I am so sorry and wishing you the best outcome. 💐💐

Whoops sorry Baubles and Karmalady but I am impressed by your crochet!!

Good morning from a chilly and very windy NE.
Sister and BIL visited yesterday and we went shopping, shelves were full of Easter eggs but the ones I wanted there were only two left.
GD got in touch last night to tell me that she had passed a music exam with distinction, we are planning a family celebration when her aunt returns to the UK next week.

Sorry to hear your news Roses, I know that feeling when you are told that further investigations are needed 💐

Yes Grammaretto I am ,they are going to help keep the roof on and the roofing felt down. Allotment, I had just replaced the felt november 2025, the wood was wet, the felt blew off and the shed fell down. I have ballast on now but it needs to be in rot-proof bags. My shed now has concrete slabs on the floor and is bolted down as much as I could, full water butts each side to support if it tilts. Nice and dry inside but I don`t trust those present ballast bags. I`ll have to take the ladder up in my car, on a very still day

💐 so sorry to read your post Roses and I too think your embroidery is lovely. x
I once started a tray cloth at school- I’d be about 15- it took me so long to do that I left school with it still unfinished! 😱

Good morning from sunny East Lothian - we drove up from the south coast yesterday and arrived at our flat about 10.30pm. We should have left home earlier than we did (12.30pm) but the last minute clearing of the fridge, cleaning up etc always takes longer than expected- it seems to make no difference how much I/we have done in the week before.

RosesandLilac your embroidery is beautiful. I did track down your post on the 3am thread and am so sorry to read of your lung scan results. I hope you will soon be offered a treatment plan that will give you a better quality of life than you have had recently. I always enjoyed reading about your lovely countryside walks with the dogs.

Marydoll, sorry you are no better. Thinking of you and of your DiL 🌷

We will finish unpacking and stroll across to see DD and family. Twin (non-identical) DGSs are in the last few weeks of their school life with exams after Easter. One is hoping to get a university place but it will depend on results - he struggles with severe dyslexia and difficulty in concentrating on revision. The other is applying for the Royal Navy, having been a Sea Cadet for the past 5 years. If he isn’t accepted he will try Merchant Navy. He also has his challenges as he is autistic. His current ‘enthusiasm’ is piping (not bagpipes but a high pitched pipe that gives orders) for the Sea Cadets’ drill competition. He is hoping to get to the national final for a second time. I may need my ear plugs when round at their house 😂

I’m late again , Greetings from a wet blustery Co Armagh, we’ve had rain , snow and sleet
Our fish and chips at the club were delicious, no club till after Easter now
Roses 💐

Good afternoon GN’s from East Hertfordshire.
Very breezy today and had rain and sleet earlier , the blue sky is turning grey now, might get more rain 🤨🤨
We’ve booked 4 days away to a Warners hotel in a couple of weeks to celebrate our 60th anniversary, hopefully our health and the weather will be kind to us 🤞🤞
Hope everyone is having a good day , and those in pain or suffering in any way , my thoughts are with you all .
