Good Morning Everyone,
Is a very wet and windy morning here in Brackley today.

Just seen the forecast.......will add a sou'wester!
Ginger beer it is Ariadne..... mugs of cocoa too, at bedtime of course!

Ariadne Sat 26-Apr-14 12:32:12

Lashings of ginger beer, OGM! smile

Morning (just)
Ariadne Pleased that you are home and recovering from your Op. You have done well to be 'let out' so soon.
I'm trying to summon up the will to pack (not my favourite pastime!) To visit my lovely sister in Anglesey tomorrow.....will check the forecast to see whether I need pack anything other than mackintosh and galloshes (shades of Enid Blyton!)

Ariadne Sat 26-Apr-14 11:00:07

I agree, annsixty, in general, but I was completely ready, I think.

I still can't believe how quickly newly delivered mothered are up and dressed these days, though. I know staying on bed isn't good, but the period of rest and care 40 odd years ago was very welcome!

annsixty Sat 26-Apr-14 10:45:33

Ariadne well done and hope your new knee soon heals and supports you, but I can't believe how soon people are discharged from hospital now.

Nonu Sat 26-Apr-14 10:23:33

LONA
Thanks.
smile

Will let you know at a later date, how much was collected , hope plenty !!

Glad it went well Ariadne. Miserable morning in S Staffs again and to make it worse, I can't log in to Gransnet from my iPhone for some peculiar reason. Very annoying as I stay permanently logged in on the phone because my iPad won't keep me logged in. Off to do monumental shop for Dad, looking forward to DD and family's return from their holiday tonight. Have a good day one and all.

Glad to see you back Ariadne flowers

Morning all!

Grey and wet in North Leicestershire this morning and it is forecast to get worse over the weekend!

We have a trip to the garden centre planned today so I think we will need wellies and brollies!

Enjoy your days everyone sunshine

Ariadne Sat 26-Apr-14 10:08:02

Good morning!
Enjoying being home again with my brand new knee; I was discharged after two days (you have to prove you can walk and climb stairs with crutches first) and am very happy to be here, being extremely well looked after.

Cannot praise the North Devon hospital enough - the care from the word go was superb, and the friendliness and encouragement have got me where I am now.

annodomini Sat 26-Apr-14 10:01:27

Not yet, Lona!

Lona Sat 26-Apr-14 09:58:27

Good luck Nonu!
anno At least it wasn't true! grin

Nonu Sat 26-Apr-14 09:47:17

Good morning all, wet and cold here, we are off to Asda later to "Pack", shopping that is !
The charity my DD is manager of, have arranged with Asda to pack customers shopping and Hopefully get donations, so wish us luck as it such a worthwhile charity. Helps disadvantaged youngsters with all the problems they face

Good morning from a grey north east. We had thick fog last night but it seems to have lifted. Going to have my hair done this morning before the whole family arrives for the rest of the day.

ninathenana Sat 26-Apr-14 09:12:47

Morning all.

Wet n windy here in N. Kent.
DH has a flat pack to assemble, not as scary as it sounds. He's actually good at it grin Then I have the joy of sorting what's to go in it and what's just..... going !

Nelliemoser Sat 26-Apr-14 08:56:42

Good morning! Sunny here at present in Cheshire. Rain forecast.

annodomini Sat 26-Apr-14 08:41:43

As Lona says. I dreamt last night that I was 17 stone! Don't think I'm that bad but oh dear!

Charleygirl Sat 26-Apr-14 08:29:16

Good morning everybody-it is dry, just, here and a bit murky. Rain is forecast- after yesterday's deluge we do not need more here. Luckily it is not too cold. I am off to the gym in 30 minutes.

PRINTMISS Sat 26-Apr-14 08:29:02

Good morning everyone, a fairly promising morning here, after the rain, rain, rain, of yesterday. Hope it improves as I am off for a rush shop and then the first game of friendly outdoor bowls this pm. I shall be a wreck tomorrow! Your visit to Corfe Castle, should be fun NanKate. That part of the country was a favourite for us when the children were young, camping and caravanning - those were the days. Enjoy your days.

Lona Sat 26-Apr-14 08:09:55

Good not really morning, it's damp,windy and dull here, and quite cool.

Feeling rather sore today after a visit to the chiro yesterday. My pelvis is twisted and has been causing pain and discomfort in my hips for about a year!
I thought it was wear and tear, so I'm hopefully going to be like a spring chicken in a couple of weeks! grin

Glad you're enjoying your holiday NanKate
bags enjoy your archery!

thatbags Sat 26-Apr-14 07:56:14

Happy Saturday all! Rain in Argyll but I think I will be able to go to archery practice after all. Wasn't sure yesterday as my cartilaginous costal joints were sore after too much compost shovelling. Still got a lot to do but, like housework, it'll still be there when I get back to it. It'll take a few days.

Bellasnana Sat 26-Apr-14 07:26:42

Good morning everyone. It is sunny here in Malta with a slight breeze. Spring is the best time here before it gets too hot in summer.

Glad you are having happy hols NanKate.

Hope you all have a good day sunshine

Gagagran Sat 26-Apr-14 07:09:03

Good Moaning (loved Rene in 'Allo 'Allo) All. It still looks very damp here in S.E.Hampshire after a day or unremitting rain yesterday. At least my newly planted sweet pea plants are loving it and growing like mad. No doubt the slugs are loving it too!

Happy Days everyone. Hope Ariadne is getting over her knee op. OK.flowers sunshine

NanKate Sat 26-Apr-14 07:05:51

Morning All and Mick.

Enjoying our hols in Dorset.

Off to Corfe Castle today to watch medieval archery, should be fun.
