Good Morning Everyone,
Its sunny with some early morning cloud here in brackley at present.
Today, I will go to my surgery , may walk there ? but will wear a baseball cap to protect me plus also carry some water as well .
I see my Doctor for the results of blood test and poo sample next Thursday afternoon so I hope I am OK .
I have been trying to increase my Iron intake , with a glass of Guinness at lunchtime .
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning from a dry Dunblane with bits of blue showing in the sky which is more than there was yesterday!
Must go out to Lidl to get some supplies for granddaughters coming for an overnighter as it is now the school holidays here now. They seem to eat none stop.
When I was teaching the feeling when driving away from the school at holiday time was amazing. I am sure it is the same in many other jobs. Everyone needs a break to recharge their batteries.
Then some ironing to do and a general tidy up. Tomorrow rain is forecast so will have to think of something to keep girls occupied although the older on will probably sleep all morning.
I remember my mother being given stout when she was poorly personally I can think of nothing worse.
There seems to be a lots of poorly gransnetters at the moment hope today brings hope and improvement to all of them. flowers

Thank you Ginster looks interesting and fun!
Glad you are both OK Newquay how is your DH anyway?
Fingers crossed your DH has not got Covid Marydoll

He is negative, Gwen, thank goodness!
However, SIL phoned the doctors' for an appointment and was advised to go to A&E as it's emergency appointments only at the surgery!
He then left us wondering for hours what was going on.
Thankfully, he does not need to go.

Wow Urms that is brilliant - I am starting on mine in a minute.
Btw though how many clothes do you have in Spain?

Good morning Mick and all from a mixed up weather wise day on the northwest coast.
Lots of washing from the holiday out in the garden, so hope the rain keeps off. I’m enjoying the peace and quiet after over a week with the family. Love them to bits, but used to my own company now. I’m even putting off catch up phone calls and arrangements with friends. Wondering whether to book one of my usual day trips on Wednesday or whether I’ve had enough travelling for the mo.
Thoughts to brave grandMattie, Kalu Granmarie, those with daughters having treatment and I hope you feel ok today Blossoming

Good morning everyone, I read the first page and a bit earlier but will need a quick recap to catch up with you all properly.

Special thoughts to grandMattie and her DH,to Michael and for Mr Marydoll whose not feeling well on his birthday. I hope you feel well enough for cake and celebrations soon. ???

The weather forecast yesterday for here simply gave the temperatures and said a really lovely day ! And it was with today and tomorrow forecast to be the same, The temperature rising to about 26°/27°C.

Of course there has to be a fly in the ointment but for us it was a swarm of ants busily tracking from the front door and about to divert into the kitchen when I spotted them as we were about to go to bed. DH attacked them with ant spray and I probably washed it away with white vinegar and then left the vinegar pooled on the floor overnight. I’m usually live and let live with most insects but not when there’s a plague in the house.
I blame DH who can’t see the crumbs he drops when he’s eating biscuits.grin

A late good morning to you all.

Just got back from coffee morning group, so now catching up with GN and then tackle the ironing (there’s not too much).

Welcome Drawinggran.

It’s tippling down here at the moment - I think it’s going to be one of those days of bright intervals and lots of heavy showers. At least the gardens should appreciate the rain, as the grass is certainly suffering from lack of water.

So sorry to read that you’ve had another unsettled night, grandMattie and hope that you manage to get a little rest through the day and that your DH has a better day.

That was a nice surprise, harrigran ?. Enjoy.

Good point dragonfly. It might seem like cheating but as I only take a handbag out to Malaga I do need clothes there too! I suppose I could just cart my one rail load backwards and forwards in a suitcase hehe!

Urmstongran Mon 27-Jun-22 15:22:15

Mind you, I feel so delighted here I’m determined to do the same in Spain, once the family have gone home!
