Good morning from a dark but dry Black Country. It rained first thing yesterday, but turned into a lovely sunny day.
Had my first jab yesterday at Millenium Point Birmingham. It was so well organised and I was in and out within 20 minutes. Roll on 10th May!
Decorating here is moving on. Ceiling, Coving, walls are painted. Just have to decide on new Sofa, Curtains and wallpaper for the chimney breast wall. It may be all done by Autumn 
Excited that we may at least be able to meet DD and family outside over Easter, and DS and family on a separate day. Fingers crossed for fine weather!
Hoping we can start using the caravan by April or May. It is stored down in Burnham on Sea at the moment, so we can use it as a central base for touring Devon, Cornwall, Dorset and Somerst.
Will go over to Mums this morning, and a walk on the Staffordshire railway walk weather permitting.
Wishing you all a good day.
Morning all! Feels cooler here on the south coast this morning. 6.9c at 6am but sunshine is forecast later so that will be most welcome after all the rain and cloud we have had of late.
The car is going in for a service and MOT this morning. We have done so little mileage this past 12 months that it hardly seems worth it but needs must. We paid for 5 years servicing when we bought the car and this is the last of those 5. From next year we can use a local garage instead of having to trail to the main dealers where we bought it.
I thought last night's road map out of covid restrictions was well reasoned. I find Prof. Chris Whitty so calm and clear and I imagine he is a very kind man in his dealings with his patients. I am glad Boris is taking his and Patrick Vallance's advice. I am always reassured that they both know what they are talking about.
Hoping for as good a day as possible for us all. 
Good morning all from a wet and wild Glasgow. I had a sleepless night, my hip was so painful. However, I believe the orthopaedic waiting list here is now two years, due to Covid. I shall have to just stop moaning!!
We have a problem, as we were expecting electricians today, but as it involves going up a very high ladder in strong winds, I don't see it happening.
I have a unexpected, early hospital appointment first thing. Late yesterday afternoon, I got a phone call asking if I could come and get bloods done ASAP! Rather than go to the large hospital, I usually go to in Glasgow, the bone people have kindly organised it in our local hospital, fifteen minutes away, to save me travelling. An act of kindess, which takes the pressure off us.
I haven't been out for a year, then three hospital appointments in the space of two weeks!
I suspect it is to check my VitD levels, which are always abnormally low. My Alendronic acid infusion was cancelled in August , so hopefully once my levels are OK, I will be getting it.
Things seem to be moving again, treatment wise. A hopeful sign indeed for all of us.
Yesterday afternoon, I took my car a run round the block to boost the battery. I persuaded DH to come with me to our local park ten minutes, away for a walk, hence the gowping hip. It took half an hour to get the mud of my boots! However it was worth it, just to be out and about again.
Looking at the view, you wouldn't believe that fifteen minutes away on the motorway is Glasgow city centre.
Kate, glad to hear you are feeling a bit better, but take it easy.
I'd better go and get organised. DH of course, isn't coping with this last minute break in our routine. He needs to know at least a year in advance about hospital appointments. 
As usual, I have a cunning plan.
Parking at the hospital will be horrendous and as he won't be able to come in anyway, I'm sending him to the bakers nearby to purchase a strawberry Danish for me. If he is a good boy, he can have a rhubarb tart. That should keep him out of mischief! 
.
Thinking of Auntieflo, Mr & MRs Georgesgran and all who need our support.
Have the best day you can, folks.
YGood morning all from a very dark and windy start to the day on the east coast of Fife.
Yesterday was a gorgeous sunny afternoon I’m beginning to think of normality in the future can’t wait to see if local travel restrictions can be lifted today my dear gs who went back to school yesterday got up and went downstairs sooo excited to be returning back to school only to find out it was just 8am poor thing had to wait a bit longer before he could get going
We had a busy morning yesterday with a trip to our local beach where we had chicken strips from McDonald’s with chips for. lunch. Sitting in the warm car of course it’s not yet warm enough for me to sit out. Soon though.
Today’s news update is around 2.20 can’t wait I’m so excited I expect Scotland to be going into tiers. Unfortunately the local hospital has a high outbreak of Covid. My poor neuro phtsio who also works there has also tested positive he’s at home thankfully with little symptoms I’m glad I recently stopped him coming to the house for safety’s sake.
I think we’ll be having a rest day today. My dh who’s been head cook and bottle washer these past couple of days and more needs a rest.
Have a good day everyone be kind to yourselves have a wee treat of sorts.
