Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark and its wet here in Brackley this morning .
Yesterday did not happen for me , I started to blackout ,and came over with a cold sweat , so relaxed in the chair and watched Tv and watched the cycle races unfold.
I am going to take a break in routine ,and slowly get myself back to normal I hope .
I am on medication for angina etc but take it easy .
Take Care ,
Mick

Good morning all, Mick, sorry you’re poorly. It’s tipping it down here in a dark S Hants. Might clear out a couple of kitchen cupboards and I have some mince to slow cook, will use some for a cottage pie. Expecting a phone call from the solicitor handling my Mums estate, at the tail end now, so hope it’s finally ready to be closed.
Have a gentle day all.

Happy birthday, Grandmasue, have a lovely day.?

Egg based technology is used in the manufacturing of flu vaccine, so it would be dangerous to have it, if you were allergic to eggs.

Good morning Mick and all from dry (MrPantglas will be pleased to know) but overcast Anglesey. Wind has dropped since yesterday’s gales almost stripped the trees bare.
Please take others good advice Mick and contact your doctor, glad you’ve decided to take it easy today.
Sorry to hear that some of you haven’t had a very good night, a snooze on the sofa later perhaps.
I love your tales from the farm Sheepandcattle, I’m learning lots of new things.
The builders arrived very early this morning, I hope they can get finished by Friday when we go back in to lockdown here in Wales even though Anglesey’s infection rates are low. Otherwise we’ll be wrapped up in blue plastic for another month.
Must do some housework today even if only for the exercise.
Hope everyone with problems has a better day today.

Ginster I googled it and apparently some flu jabs are made with eggs.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s just getting light but the sky looks very grey with more rain coming I expect ?
Mick another kind request here for you to get a check up soon please
I’ve a day off from looking after the DGC as their dad is off work today, so I’m looking forward to a lazy morning and then my friend for a coffee and a long chat later.
Thinking of everyone with troubles and worries, take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good morning from nondescript day in Manchester. But like how I feel. Take care Mick relax and rest today. Yesterday was glorious, about 16° Had a 6.5 mile walk in the morning and then tramp round the fields for 2 hours with Gs1. We made camp fires (pretend!) and dens, explored the jungle, didn't see any tigers though and had running races. That cured my Insomnia last night! Catch up with the housework this morning. Now we're in tier 3 lots of nice things we had planned have been cancelled?. not looking forward to the next few weeks but we're lucky to have family. Take care everyone. flowersfor those with extra cares and worries. Hope Gilly is OK.

Beechnut Wed 21-Oct-20 08:29:15

Wishing you a lovely birthday Grandmasue ????and your new wealth ?

I didn’t see your flu post Marydoll before I added my two pennies worth.

Marydoll Wed 21-Oct-20 08:32:23

Well, we must be right then!!!! ?

GrandmasueUK Wed 21-Oct-20 08:34:21

Good morning all. Dry day here in Greater Manchester. I've not opened the curtains yet but it doesn't seem to be sunny.

I think you should get medical advice as well Mick. You can't be too careful.

Thank you Umstongran for your kind reply and Feelingmyage for the flowers.

Yesterday's Zoom meeting was very welcome and funny. One of the ladies kept shouting for help from her husband. She appeared sideways at first and with no sound. We were laughing too much to help her. After a while she was running out of battery and had to call for help again. I wanted to know when she had become such Victorian!

Had an unexpected Facetime with my overseas Grandsons later. The youngest aged 3 was in a grumpy so didn't want to speak. The older one aged 5 was so chatty and sang Happy Birthday for tomorrow to me which was lovely. English is his second language but he slips in and out of it beautifully.

I'm looking forward to another Facetime again this evening.

I think I may get on with some drawing again today. It was lovely sitting in a quiet room the other day concentrating on pencil and paper. I've also got a couple of books on the go as well, so. a peaceful day planned for me.

I hope others have as peaceful a day add they can. Oh forgot to say welcome back to Maw. I was another who missed her posts. flowers

Stay safe people.

Good morning Mick and all from the Scottish Borders. Men have just arrived to work on my roof and said it's to be a good day today. Between their endorsement and yours on here whose do I choose?
I hope once you've rested Mick you can let someone know about your turn yesterday.

DH has another hospital appointment today.

Ah Quince jelly! Membrillo, divine. I have even ordered a bush or tree which should arrive soon.

Hope you all have a happy day.

dragonfly46 Wed 21-Oct-20 08:36:22

Good morning very wet here in Leicestershire as kitty says - not sure how you got your Sainsbury Christmas Slot. I have had an email to say I can book mine next month as I have a priority pass.

Yes Mick definitely speak to the doctor.

Sainsbury delivery today then NWR Zoom this evening.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Mapleleaf Wed 21-Oct-20 08:39:08

Morning everyone,

It's grey and dismal here in South Yorkshire this morning.

mick sorry to read that you are feeling unwell. Please take the advice of fellow GM's and contact your surgery. You were not too well on Monday I think it was, so maybe the two things are connected. Seek advice.

Happy birthday Grandmasue ????. Enjoy your day.

I hope that today is as good as it can be for everyone. Take care.

baubles Wed 21-Oct-20 08:40:09

Good morning all, we have a very watery looking sky here in South Lanarkshire but there’s a wee patch of blue to the east.

Mick please take heed of everyone’s concerns, take care.

Love the image of a gentle stroll with the flock sheepandcattle, conjured up by your description.

This afternoon we’ll be off to DD’s to do the school run and look after her brood till she finishes work.

Look after yourselves and have the best day you can.

Happy birthday Grandmasue flowers

Pittcity Wed 21-Oct-20 08:46:30

We want to downsize Grandmattie and are open to suggestions for good areas.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Gingster Wed 21-Oct-20 08:58:31

Thanks Marydoll And Beechnut re the flu/egg connection. Ive never been asked if I’m allergic to eggs . ?

Parsley3 Wed 21-Oct-20 09:02:19

Good morning all. I hope you feel better soon, Mick. It is overcast here in Forth Valley.

dragonfly46 Wed 21-Oct-20 09:03:13

Happy Birthday Grandmasue ??

brook2704 Wed 21-Oct-20 09:03:48

A very Happy Birthday Grandmasue enjoy your special day !???

MawB2 Wed 21-Oct-20 09:04:59

Good morning all from soggy N Bucks.
It’s strange but nice to be no longer incommunicado as you can imagine how frustrating it was to read your posts but not be able to comment. ???????
Blessed peace some of you might say!
I’m glad yesterday was a nice day and Hattie and I could get out for a walk, as it might be more like a swim today.
Not sure what my plans are, a friend suggested last week we might treat ourselves to lunch at Brasserie Blanc as she has the discount code, but I have heard no more since then so maybe...maybe not.
Mick please at least speak to a Dr or your diabetic nurse, there may be no cause for alarm but now is not the time to let it get to the point of being serious.
Wishing you all, wherever you are, a pleasant day.

MawB2 Wed 21-Oct-20 09:06:59

And thank you for the many kind and supportive messages to the Doghouse ? and Happy Birthday Grandmasue and all the birthday people I missed! flowers

Greyduster Wed 21-Oct-20 09:07:11

Good morning Michael and all GNs. Maple is spot on with our South Yorkshire weather. Mick sorry to hear you are feeling poorly - these are wise grans; run it past your GP pronto! Can’t have you out of commission.
Not a lot on the cards for us today that doesn’t involve a duster or a vacuum cleaner. My DVT flare up has settled down thankfully (hopefully!) but a light diet for me today.
Happy birthday Grandmasue; have a lovely day!??
Have a good safe day folks.

Grandmabatty Wed 21-Oct-20 09:09:46

Happy birthday Grandmasue

Good Morning All x.
Darkish, damp but mild and calm. Winter draws on !

Mick you should be tested. Make an appointment to discount this virus for starters as symptoms vary in each individual.

My heart goes out to all cancer sufferers who are scared to attend hospitals for their vital treatments/ initial diagnosis. I watched the news from the Christie hospital and it's truly heartbreaking. For their sakes we must all be mindful of the way we conduct ourselves in these times and count our blessings. I don't worry about not seeing/ speaking to a soul----they can't !

I must phone a heating engineer today as when I turned the thing off, it didn't obey me and carried on " overheating " with the water coming out of the tap absolutely boiling so not good. Radiators red hot too. This was at 10.30pm last night as I was getting ready for bed and I was all of a fluster in case it blew up or something. It's not even been in for 12 months yet. I hate things like this !

Time to cut the talons because one of them has split and I don't want them looking like missing teeth grin It's with wearing rubber gloves that softens the nails and if one bends, you've had it. I should worry, eh ?

Saw egg and chips mentioned on another thread, so that'll be my meal of the day---haven't had that for ages being a full dinner person that I am so it'll make a change.

Some tidying and " disinfecting " to do in case an engineer calls today then a wipe around when he's gone as I don't have any contact with anyone either inside or outside so I become more susceptible to any germs floating about----which isn't how I like to live really, nor agree with either.

Anyway, hope all is well with everyone ( another tier 3 ) stay safe one and all with thoughts to our friends xx
