Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny Northampton; just thinking about washing the bedding from one of the spare rooms as DGDs are here overnight on Saturday and one of the cats has been sick on the duvet cover.

Also thinking of popping down to M&S food this morning, fancying something nice for dinner as it is my birthday.

Will be going to the well-being cafe after lunch, and taking some of the cake left over from my coffee morning yesterday. There is just too much for me to eat on my own, and I can't freeze it again.

Enjoy the sunshine today!

Good morning from an almost sunny Leicestershire.

After a lovely weekend it is good to be home in my own bed!
Our little DGS seems fully recovered apart from the stitches in his forehead. 4 year olds are very resilient.
Tea with friends this afternoon.

Hoping all those with troubles feel better soon.

Good morning all. A bright start to our last day in Derbyshire so we have decided on a trip across to Dovedale.

Happy Birthday bluesapphire

Good morning Mick...I hope you are soon up to 100%, and good morning everyone else from sunny Carlisle.
I am not feeling sunny....evidently hauling bags of gravel about is not good for an ageing body, having spent a happy weekend planting and preparing a gravel garden, I came in for a shower and discovered I'd sustained a prolapse. Shock and panic, my body has let me down again! I got a grip on myself, it's not life threatening after all, my main feeling is annoyance because I still need more bags of gravel. I've got an appointment at the surgery for Friday. Until then I shall gently potter through the day which is all I feel up to as I've had 2 nights of very poor sleep. The bags of gravel will have to wait until DS1 visits on the May bank holiday.
Nothing like your trials Marydoll... I hope everything is on the up very soon.
Happy birthday BlueSapphire, you're entitled to get yourself a tasty treat from M&S.
Have the best possible day everyone.

Back to life at home after a lovely Easter visit to DD and family. Garden needs some love and need a trip into Bath perhaps tomorrow, but otherwise not a lot happening. Still feeling the effects of covid and am frustrated to feel so lacklustre but that seems to be a common reaction.

Thinking of all our fellow posters with much to feel fed up with.

Good morning all from a sunny Black country, rain overnight but that's the way I like it.
Will catch up later so sending best wishes to anyone celebrating, and virtual hugs where needed.
Enjoy your day everyone and may you all find some ?.

Good morning from a sunny W Kent. Off to friend for a cup of something this morning. She is expecting a visit from the gas man so I expect he will come as soon as we sit down. On duty for youngest GS later his mum has work meeting.
Happy Birthday Bluesapphire
Marydoll I hope the medicine helps.
Best wishes to all.

Gwenisgreat1 Wed 20-Apr-22 09:44:48

Good morning all from sunny Harrogate
Oh Marydoll sorry life is so grim just now. Hope it all seems better soon.
Grandmattie what a joy your little iris is teaching Makaton to your DH. When she is no longer there, he could always watch “Singing Hands” on Utube? They helped me communicate with my DGS.
Ekwanimitee I do sympathise. My back ‘goes out’ at the thought of gardening!
I hope your DD soon feels the benefit of her treatment, she’s obviously having a rough time.
I had a lousy night last night, and I have my DGS for a short time today, after I’ve been to the hairdresser.
Have the best day possible folks

Ouch. EkwaNimitee

Good morning everybody from another beautiful morning on the Angus coast where the sun is shining from a cloudless blue sky. A perfect day for a birthday Blue sapphire - enjoy your M&S treat. So sorry you're having such a bad time of it just now Marydoll flowers Your granddaughters sound so lovely with your DH, grandmattie - it must warm your heart. Nothing going on here today except for a visit to the Town Hall for my booster. I'm hoping it doesn't have side effects as I have my two tai chi classes to take tomorrow morning! Take care today everyone x

Happy Birthday BlueSapphire from sunny Anglesey. Have a good one. ?.
Hope you feel more like your old self soon Mick.
Glad your gs is recovering well Dragonfly, just as well these children are resilient, they do get in to some scrapes #mumoffourboys.
Plodding on with your usual grace grandMattie, I have the greatest admiration for you.
Wishing all covideers a speedy and full recovery.
Echoing Party4, hope everyone can do a little of what you like to do best.
Off to the beach for a picnic lunch and a paddle for us.

LauraNorderr Wed 20-Apr-22 10:07:42

Take it easy EkwaNimitee.

Marydoll Wed 20-Apr-22 10:18:58

EkwaNimitee, I suffered from that too, it's not pleasant at all. I hope you are not too uncomfortable. No more lugging heavy bags for you.
You definitely need to see a GP. ?
