Good Morning Monday 20th March 2023

Meant to be that you feel better also!

Good morning everyone from grey rainy Carlisle. I expect you are off to hospital by now Mick, very best wishes to you for a successful op and a swift return home.
Yesterday, I went out for an early walk in the country park. Masses of little daffodils were in full bloom though naturally the idiots had been out and thrown handfuls of them in the pond. Do they really get pleasure out of that?
Lots of ducks about including some very smart looking tufted ducks. Three of the cygnets were still about, preening at one end of the large pond while Dad was on patrol at the other end because his missus was probably on the nest on the little island there.
I got out in the garden later for a little planting and the sad removal of my lovely pittosporum which couldn't take a week of minus temperatures.

Today is a busy one of laundry and housework interspersed with a visit from the BT engineer this morning and the plumber this afternoon. My ensuite sink is blocked again in spite of my constant endeavours to keep it clear.

Have the best day possible everyone especially if you and yours are below par.

Good wishes to you Mick and thinking of everyone not having a good day today.
I managed to cook Sunday lunch for nine and DS made two lovely puds. Poor DIL spent most of the afternoon dealing with relationship break ups for son and sister so not quite the relaxing day I had hoped for!!
Best wishes to all

Good morning everyone. Just popping in to wish Mick all the best for his surgery and a speedy recovery. Will read the thread now!

Good luck mick for today hope all goes well. Lovely Mother’s Day and nice cards. Rare day off going to catch up with all the jobs I need doing. The garden is starting to wake up and I will need to get going with that. But first a cuppa to get me motivated. Have a good day all.

Good luck Mick! Hope all goes well. It sounds like you are in good hands.

Good morning all and very best wishes to Mick for a successful outcome to his operation today.

Back again, it’s grey and rainy here this morning, which is annoying as we were hoping to finish a job in the garden. Urms I think you mean Grandmabatty, I am a great aunt par excellence but I have no grandchildren. I echo your sentiments for our poorly grans though. I’m pleased your daughter is feeling better gingster, such a worry for you. Safe travels tomorrow NannyJan have a wonderful holiday. Fabulous photos BlueSapphire.

Hope everyone finds a little happiness today 🌹

Hope all goes well for Mick today. Thinking of those of you facing a difficult day.

Wishing Michael all the best for today.
Sunny here in the north of Scotland.

Good morning Mick and all from a damp northwest coast.
Nice quiet day yesterday, a pretty lit musical card and flowers for Mother’s Day and I feel rested for another busy week. Also practised my songs for the music club.
DF popped round and we had a long chat, her 98 year old mother is now in a nursing home here and deteriorating but my DFs health is not good either. I gave her some books I had enjoyed which I think she might like.

I will make up my DDs bed as she comes from the south later in the week and then pick up old friend for one of our regular pub lunches. He can talk the leg off a hind donkey (and so can I…)

All the best for your op Mick and as always, thoughts to Gingster🌸

My house is like a florist shop mainly plants having mothers day and birthday within 2days is a bit overwhelming ,I enjoyed it anyway.
Good luck Mick.A hard day today Georgesgran. Hope your daughter continues to improve Gingster For those on holidays enjoy.

Good morning Mick and all who follow. Thoughts and best wishes with you Mick for a successful op and a speedy recovery.
I've been up for two hours now and am just about coming awake! I feel decidedly discombobulated and 'other worldly' this morning for some reason. And there are all you people up and about before 5am!
I'm so sorry you feel so unwell yourself gingster, but not really surprised when you're living through such a hard time of worry and uncertainty. You are such a wonderful support for your DD, but make sure you take care of yourself as well
I'm glad you had a more restful time yesterday grandmattie - the henna work is so intricate you must have had to sit still for a while!
Lovely photos from SA Bluesapphire and I'm glad you saw your lions. We saw ours right at the start of our safari - so unexpectedly that we didn't take a photo! Felt sure we'd see another later, which we didn't of course.
I had a lovely day yesterday with a visit from DD and her girls and then a long phone call with DS2. What started off as a glorious Spring day deteriorated into murk, but it didn't matter as there was plenty of sunshine indoors and in our hearts 💕🥰
I noticed that someone yesterday (*harrigran*?) mentioned watching The Piano. Wasn't that the most amazing and uplifting little series! I hope there may one day be a follow-up about those talented young people.
Have a good day today everyone and thoughts and to all those feeling low and in pain, and good news and hope for those waiting x

Just popped in to wish Mick all the best for today.

The decorators have arrived and I don't know whether I am on my head or my heels, as I had to get up early.
Will read all previous posts at leisure with a coffee.

Afternoon all,
It’s rather dull here, but the rain has stopped.
Hope all has gone well Mick 🤞.

Wishing your all the best Mick, you have probably had your operation by the time you get this, so hope all went well for you and look forward to hearing from you in the future. Best wishes

Good afternoon, I honestly thought I’d posted earlier 🙄
Hope all’s well Mick, fingers crossed you’re home soon.
Well, I didn’t hear a word from the DCs yesterday, rather hurt and disappointed but DH says I’m being stupid, hey ho…
Yesterday not a lot happened apart from a lovely DDog walk in sunshine and an hour or so spent in the garden. All very peaceful.
Today the painter is doing the bookcases, by Wednesday I should have everything put away and a tidy living room 🤞🏻
It’s raining and the dog needs a walk so wellies and raincoat it is 🐕☔️
