Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny sunshine Northampton. Just sorted some washing for the machine and put the food waste bin out.

grandMattie thinking of you and your beloved DH today. May you feel strengthened by the presence of your family.

A good book club yesterday with prosecco and chocolate cake, as it was someone's birthday.

The list of excursions for my cruise arrived yesterday, so I shall book my chosen ones online this morning.

A Sainsburys delivery then an early lunch followed by two dance classes. Health walk this evening, and dinner at the pub.

May the sun shine on all today.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 10° and very damp. It's not prepossessing. Grandmattie well done to your daughter. It must be comforting to have your family with you. Susan good luck on the journey. I hope things go well. Ashcombe the play sounds wonderfully funny. Kalu it's good news to hear about your husband. A long operation indeed! Marydoll as if you didn't have enough to contend with! ?
Yesterday's visit to mum was good. She was dressed and bright. We blethered about Elvis and Queen, her favourite musicians, and tennis. Then I had coffee with a friend who has organised a birthday treat for me in September. We are going to Pitlochry to the theatre and staying overnight in a nice hotel. It is such a nice thing to look forward to. Then I visited dd and the boys in the afternoon. Dgs1 is struggling with a nasty ear infection, dgs2 is teething and DD has a trapped nerve in her shoulder so it was a challenge to remain cheerful. We did go to the park for some fresh air.
Today I'm staying home. I have a tesco delivery later and I think dd is coming to me. It's quite difficult for her as sil is on night shift and needs to sleep so keeping the boys quietly entertained is a challenge. Have a good day all.

Morning all

It’s overcast here in S E Essex, waiting for the drugs to kick in and just pottering, which is frustrating as I have so much to do.

grandMattie my thoughts and prayers are for you and your family at this sad time, I do hope that all stays peaceful and serene.

Tomorrow is the beginning of my birthday month along with that of several family members, my very first cruise, The Officers Summer Ball with our eldest son and his wife, childcare duties as they finish for the long summer break.

I have decided to cut down on my GN addiction in order to concentrate on family.

I will pop in to see how you all are, might not post, take care and be good my good morning friends.

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Good to learn your son and daughter have arrived to be with your DH and support you both. Sending a hug and much love Mattie. ?

Morning from the edge of S Lanarkshire where it is nice and sunny. Just want to send prayers and support to grandMattie and family today. You are in my thoughts.

So glad to read your good news Kalu, that makes everything feel a little brighter.

baubles that was a beautiful evocative picture yesterday. It seemed to express perfectly the mixed emotions and importance of this stage in a child’s life.

Meeting my lovely sister in law for a special lunch today, she is a great friend and I am looking forward to it very much.

Best wishes to all ???

grandMattie Thu 30-Jun-22 07:51:47

So glad all went well yesterday, kalu.
Marydoll, be a good girl and listen to your “betters”! Hope you improve quickly. We need you! X❤️

Good morning from East Yorkshire where it’s sunny, warm with a few clouds in the sky.

Congratulations to your DD grandmattie

you must be so proud of her. Sending love and strength to you all in the coming days.

I hope you will be feeling better soon Marydoll going through a challenging time.
Thoughts to others too going through tough times Kalu Crissy Grannmarie and apologies if I’ve left anyone out.
Take care everyone.

Here’s Matt.

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where the heavy rain woke me in the early hours again. It was torrential! Dry now but seems chilly. I have an appointment for a manicure mid morning and later we pick the grandchildren up from school to give them a quick snack then off to their swimming lessons.

Another here with thoughts of you and your son and daughter grandMattie keeping vigil together. At such a time we are never so fully engaged with what it means to be human.

Congratulations too for your daughter she has achieved much at such an emotional time.

Marydoll your health concerns have flared again sadly but your humour still shines through! Get well soonest. And good luck Mick at your GP appointment this afternoon. Enjoy your family reunion Beechnut four years is a long time, no wonder you feel emotional.

kittylester Thu 30-Jun-22 08:02:13

Good morning all from a bright North Leicestershire.

I have admin today followed a Sainsbury's delivery. DD1 is still in hospital but hopefully will be home today.

Sending love, strength and peace to the Grandmatties.

Love to everyone who has worries.

Aldom Thu 30-Jun-22 08:06:37

Congratulations to your daughter GrandMattie. My thoughts are with you and your family. flowers
Mick hoping for the best for you when you see your GP today.

Nannytopsy Thu 30-Jun-22 08:13:19

Good morning Mick and all his followers. We had a bit of rain overnight in Suffolk! The first real wetting in ages.
Just dropped in to wish GM and her family well.
? for all who are unwell or have worries, particularly Marydoll & Kitty.
I hope the day is kind to us all.

Urmstongran Thu 30-Jun-22 08:14:13

Enjoy July GG13 it sounds hectic but wonderful! ???????

Grannmarie Thu 30-Jun-22 08:16:28

Good morning, Mick and all, from North Lanarkshire where the sun is peeping through the clouds after overnight rain.

Sending love and prayers for all who need/ wish them.???

Grandmattie, I'm so glad that your AC are with you and your DH now and that he is peaceful and comfortable. God bless you all.

Kalu, great news of your husband's successful surgery, I'm glad that you have family with you.

Marydoll, I'm so sorry that you are so unwell, I'm hoping and praying that you can avoid hospital if at all possible, and feel much better very soon.

Baubles, wishing you well for your continued recovery.

Thinking of all with worries, illness or sorrow.

Happy travels to those on holidays or visiting grandchildren.

Thank you for your kind wishes for DH, he is still very weak and sleeping a lot, but he'll have to stay awake this afternoon as we have his follow up out patients appointment at our local hospital.

Have the best Thursday possible. ?

Greyduster Thu 30-Jun-22 08:22:43

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Good luck with the GP this afternoon Mick?? I’ll be thinking about you.. The sun has broken through in South Yorkshire. My aquacise class yesterday was good but left me full of aches and pains! The instructor takes no prisoners! Perhaps I should just stick to swimming. Ironing this morning and then if it stays dry I will cut the front lawn.
GM many congratulations to your DD, and glad that your family are all together at the moment?.
Kalu glad to hear your DH came through his surgery ok!
Have the best day you can folks.

Taichinan Thu 30-Jun-22 08:26:44

May the love that surrounds you sustain you grandMattie.

What a relief Kalu - I hope your DH can return home to you soon x

Good morning from sunny Leicestershire.

Many congratulations to your DD Mattie on getting the job. My thought are with you all but feel the love you all have for each other.

Good luck today at the doctors Mick.
Oh dear poor you Mary it is one thing after another. I hope you feel better soon - getting to see a specialist is a plus though and I hope she can improve things.

Wishing everyone the best day possible.

dragonfly46 Thu 30-Jun-22 08:33:27

Also meant to say what a relief it must be that your DH’s operation was successful Kalu. I hope he recovers well and is back home with you soon.

Party4 Thu 30-Jun-22 08:44:26

?♥️ to GM and family you are in all our thoughts.

Mick do hope your health issues can be quickly resolved with a change in medication.
Maybe a few days of rest until your Dr can solve things for you.
Pleased to hear Kitty's daughter is due home later today,may she get back on track for a speedy recovery although her treatments will leave her feeling one step forward two back.
Marydoll so sorry you are still in GN sickbay.
?? for all with illness and worry.
Quiet day after childcare day yest Age now tells as we collapse on sofa once all DGC have left and can be asleep within half an hour.It is quite hectic whilst they are here but love to hear of their days and the constant banter between them.They are creeping up to high-school ages and I realise things will change so I savour these days and hope they recall the memories.

Grammaretto Thu 30-Jun-22 08:53:09

Good morning from the Scottish Borders where it should be much warmer than it is. It must be school holidays coming up. wink
gMattie such an intense time for you. I am glad that your AC can be beside you and your pride in DD is palpable.

What a relief after an 8hr operation Kalu. I know what that wait is like.

And dear Marydoll what a shame that you are so poorly. I hope meds can be found to improve things for you.

I am expecting my English DS & clan tomorrow so will be making up beds and trying out my new cooker. I managed to burn my first crumble. It is so fierce!

I watched the agony of Andy Murray yesterday. Who to watch now?

Have as best a day as you can everyone.

Susan56 Thu 30-Jun-22 08:57:02

Hoping your DD gets home today kitty.A difficult time for you all?

EkwaNimitee Thu 30-Jun-22 08:57:17

Good morning Mick, hope the doc proves to be helpful, and Good morning everyone. Carlisle is currently bright but showers are forecast.
I am about to start the ironing and have a list of little jobs to work through before hopefully getting out in the garden after lunch.

Thinking of you and yours grandMattie, so glad to hear you have your children there with you and your DH.

Best wishes for a rapid improvement Marydoll, I hope the medics remain pro-active.

And the best possible day to all, especially those in sick bay.

Curlywhirly Thu 30-Jun-22 08:58:34

grandMattie so pleased that your children are there with you to support you at such an emotional time for the family. Take care thanks
