Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. It feels cold. I'm home from the beautiful Highlands, DD's clan, and have offered to do a shift at the community coffee morning.
It feels cold

Sorry some of you are not so well. Take care everyone.

Woke yesterday feeling rough and with a cough like a sea lion’s bark but LFT said no. So will be doing nothing much and not inflicting myself on others until I feel better. Paracetamol and fluids will be the order of the day.

Hope things settle a bit for gM and hr DH, that Marydoll improves and that those who can have a good weekend.

Good morning from Shropshire.

Had a stressful day yesterday as Henry was taken ill on our watch.DD was at work 40 miles away, she asked me to call the dr.Just as I had spoken to the dr SIL arrived home for lunch.DD got home in time for H’s appointment.The dr thinks it is a virus on top of the tonsilitis and ear infections he is recovering from.

DGD came home with us for a sleepover.She is such a joy and no trouble at all.

Shazza we go to a vegan restaurant so Henry can choose anything off the menu so understand your excitement.H has severe allergies so it’s always tricky but he loves being able to pick any cake at the vegan restaurant.

Pittcity,our smart meter readings were the same yesterday,definitely double and not54% higher than usual.

GrandMattie, glad your DH is home and hope you have a restful day today.

Thoughts to all unwell,wishing you all a speedy recovery??

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently -1° and heavy grey skies above. Mick take things easy. grandmattie it's good that you have your husband home. Marydoll lots of lounging for you! Ashcombe enjoy watching the snow fall, knowing you have nowhere particular to go! I'm glad your daughter isn't too bad. Baubles sounds like hard work!
Yesterday I had an unexpected visit from dd and the boys after nursery pick up. Dgs1 was very impressed with his new bubble gun I'd got for playing with at Grandma's house. He wanted to play trains again. Dgs2 was very fretful when he woke and is giving his mum and dad a hard time at the moment. He's teething, has a cold and is going through a growth spurt all at the same time so the wee scone doesn't know what's happening. I also had nice messages from three different sets of friends trying to arrange get togethers for the next two weeks. You know what they say about double decker buses coming at once? ?
Today will be housework day. Then I'm digging out the Easter/Spring decorations. I know we have two weeks before Easter but it'll enhance my wee bungalow. Chicken salad for dinner. Have a good day all.

Good morning Mick and all from a now dull northwest coast.
After all go day yesterday, home today and DS coming tonight instead of yesterday. Have I some jobs for him!
Just as well he didn’t come yesterday as I was knackered after art then rehearsing and fell asleep in the chair.
Heaven knows what is happening to my tv, I rebooted the freeview not recording and now it’s not only not recording but I can’t get On Demand. The picture disappears regularly too. Might be time to call in a pro.
Thanks for magnesium tips for my severe cramp. Am giving them a go.
GM? and thoughts to the troubled.

Good morning all from sunny, cold W Kent. Off to do a food shop, have been buying on line but so many things were substituted last week I have to go and stock up.
Very good wishes to all.

Good morning from a sunny but frosty NE.
DS and family are on holiday from today and collecting me after lunch, we are going to the Lakes.
Glad your DH is home grandMattie but do find time for yourself, it is exhausting caring for loved ones.
Thoughts are with all those under the weather.

Good morning all from a cold, dry S Welsh coast.
I've had a head cold and bad chest for a few days, tested positive yesterday morning.
So disappointed that we won't see our baby dgd and her parents this weekend, will hunker down instead.
My thoughts are with all those feeling down for whatever reason ?

Grandmabatty Sat 02-Apr-22 10:08:49

Lin's ?. It's quite telling the number of people on this thread over the last few weeks who have got covid, compared to last year. I wish you all well.

Good morning from a glorious Durham - although very cold.
I have DD2s dogs here for a couple of weeks and have forgotten how ‘tying’ house dogs are - ours were always in kennels.
DD1 has asked me to do something with her and DGS1, but I can’t be out too long.
Hope GM has a more comfortable weekend with her DH home. My DH was in and out of hospital, but always wanted to be at home, even if he fibbed that he felt better than he did to get discharged!
Hope our missing GMs are just too busy to post and nothing worse.
Make the best of the weekend.

Good morning Mick and everyone. A beautiful bright and chilly morning in my corner of Lancashire. currently 2°C.

I think you’re very wise to take things slowly Mick, hope you feel better soon.

I love carrot and coriander soup Beechnut.

Love it Pantglas, made me giggle ! ?

Hope you and your DH have a peaceful day today Grandmattie

Have a restful weekend Marydoll, hoping you feel a bit better soon.

Sending love to all those with worries and ill health, I hope you have a little brightness in your day ??

Morning from a cold S Lanarkshire, and sending good wishes to all who are not so well just now themselves or who have worries about family members.

Two of my DDS are in Prague this weekend and at this minute running a half marathon. It’s been postponed twice since 2020 but is at last taking place. It’ll be really nice for them to have time just together for a few days, quite scarce in their busy lives.

Youngest DGS is staying with another daughter and I’ll join them later today for a ‘sleepover’.

baubles, that sounds like quite a heavy shift, I hope it isn’t too stressful.

Last week and this are quite disrupted for me for one reason or another so I’ll get on with my day now, wishing everyone a good weekend???

Good morning Mick and everyone from sunny Carlisle. It's tempting me to go out in the garden but I won't, I've still got a swimmy head which worsens with activity. Just fighting a mild bug really but it happens a lot and is annoying. I have managed a necessary trip to Sainsbury's for fresh food though. Thanks, Jaxjacky...I am getting over my disappointment with retail therapy! Things for house and garden only. I'm trying not to buy clothes, so many have been hanging unworn for the last two years.
I'm continuing my project of re-reading old fiction on my shelves with a view to disposal. The last one I picked up had been waiting since 1982, the current one from 1970! I don't think I ever re-read it. The print is tiny and the pages yellow with age.
I hope all goes well for your DH grandMattie and that his pain is thoroughly eased.
Do have a good weekend everybody, if at all possible.

It's cold with bright sunshine here in south Dartmoor. Some distant clouds are threatening.
I've sprayed some new weeds with a mixture of white vinegar and salt and washing up liquid. Hope to get the weeds under control before they get out of hand. I hope this mixture works.
I'm feeling very pleased because I had my fourth covid jab in a pop-up tent in a nearby car park yesterday.

ShazzaKanazza Sat 02-Apr-22 12:56:19

Beauregard so sorry to hear your DH blacked out yesterday. Hope he’s a lot better today

Marydoll pleased your doing as your DH says and stay put for a few days and rest and feel better.

Urmstongran Matt was on form again this morning
.
On a really packed party train full of stags and hen parties. Covid central!! Never again will I do this on a Saturday and the train has already broken down and we had to get off. Young girls stood in the cold on the platform dressed in next to nothing with bottles of Prosecco. Glad I’m old and in warm clothing.
