Good Morning Wednesday

Morning all. A bit late, struggling today. I will be back tomorrow, with another load of drivel! ?

Good morning all from wet & windy Devon. Already been out to GP Surgery to have my dressing changed, we book in & then have to walk back outside to stand & wait, not good in this horrible weather. Back home with a

Hope to make some soup later if my leg will allow me to stand in the kitchen for long enough to prepare it, Carrot & Ginger recipe from my Soup Bible, brilliant cookery book with lots of great recipes.

I won't be venturing out today now, need to try & do a few household chores between resting.

My thoughts are with all of GNetters who have health problems or their loved ones. I'm trying to keep a positive attitude, luckily I am bubbled with my DD, DiL & DGSs, I'm looking forward to Sunday when I am going for Lunch for Mother's Day. I also have couple of good male friends who I chat to, they cheer up my day, one has a wicked sense of humour & we end up in fits of laughter which is good for my wellbeing.

I'm loving the Spring bulbs showing & my gorgeous Hellabores, I just need lots of sunshine like we've had the last couple of days

Thank you Laura and Cherry for your kind words and thoughts ?

Gosh Urms, I’ll bet August can’t come soon enough.

Choices LauraNorder! We’ve booked a 10 day holiday in an hotel for early June in Ibiza, followed by a trip up to Western Ross the second half of June, staying in an hotel for 5 nights in Plockton. I’m so excited already.

We thought July at home then, all being well, August & September in Malaga!

Bet Pantglas and mancgirl (where is she these days?) are already making plans!

Good Morning everyone! ☕
Fed up of thiz online dating, in tge pandemic people still want to be intimate & jump into bed.?

Stop doing it then!

Taichinan how disheartening for you, your attitude is admirable ?
Cherry I imagine you’re on tenterhooks the whole time, you certainly don’t need this anxiety, hoping it gets resolved properly ? for you too.

Marydoll take it easy! The world will still turn if you have a quiet day in bed!

Back from the Vet. The littlest dog's thyroid levels are perfect, so he's on cortisone for his skin and the scratching for 10 days. If no luck, then his bloods will be sent on to a Specialist!

Just needed to say that your health comes 1st, Cherry. Of course the next door disturbance will affect you, but please try hard not to let it interfere with your already precarious health problems. You need decent times not endless worry. As you are (historically) so good at helping and sorting out the problems of others, but are not being very well supported in this at the mo', why not refer the problem to the children's school. They don't have to answer any questions, there's no breach of confidentiality, the Police have already been involved and they just need to listen because those kids are going to be struggling if nothing is done. Maybe they have contact details for the Father. As long as he has contact with the children, he needs to be fully aware of the sort of drama that his children are involved in on a regular basis. As for Social Services........words fail!

So very sad for you, Taichinan. The ripples from this bloody Plague just go out and out, don't they. I know you'll attack the situation with your usual positivity, though it seems like a meet up with your family is happening at just the right time for you. Enjoy it, keep safe, keep posting and telling us how you are. Big hugs from me - and probably everyone else too. xx

Thank you Jaxjacky ?

I haven't thought about contacting the girls' school Grandmafrench. I think I'll speak to my niece1 who's a teacher (not their school) before I do that. Worth a thought ?. Their father is very much aware of the issue!

I hope you have a nice, relaxing, recuperative day Marydoll, with a bit of gentle pampering and perhaps a random flamingo thrown in ?

I'm in the US, in the very center of the country; just wanted you all to know how much I have enjoyed your postings and conversations. Today the weather is sunny, very warm for spring (over 80 degrees F), with high winds with gusts over 50 mph! Too windy for the birds to stay on the feeding perch.

Another flamingo spot. Bidding room . Depicted on a box.
They’re everywhere ! ?
