Well I am a regular DM reader and the I newspaper.

The medical advice in the DM on a Tuesday is second to none. DH says the financial pages are good. Garfield always makes me laugh. Some of the headlines are truly rubbish. Sarah Vine a good read and I can’t think of the un-pc writer a chap in his 50s/60s who writes a page once a week. He is hilarious.

Always here for you Panache and the others. I remember the support and comfort GN especially Soops kitchen brought me.
What goes around comes around smile

My dear fellow G.Netters.............thank you so much for your messages of support,I must say I am not firing on all cylinders this morning!!
However I know others faring so much worse and my thoughts go out to you ...Grannygravy you are certainly in need of a gentle hug, as does Marydoll Harrigan.....and all feeling "under the weather"

I think we all need a day out in the sunshine and let the sun`s warmth seep into our very beings!!
Did someone mention one of my favourite sports..........People watching???? I love it and it never fails to bring back the smiles!

Sending lots of uplifting blessings to you all,such stars that make my days very much better........Thanks a lot.

Oh it is light Annsixty but for a free read/look at the shock horror headlines and pics.....grin
Mind you I do like the Guardian on Fridays for the theatre reviews!
How are things at home, dare I ask?
Often think of you. flowers

Good morning Michael and all G'netters.

Sorry to hear you may be in for another op Panache??

I went to my follow up appointment at fracture clinic yesterday, only to find out that the reason my ankle is so painful is that I have a non-displaced fracture of my ankle as well as the metatarsal fracture and ligament damage ????

No gym for 8 weeks Doc advised, but I am going to speak to my Pilates instructor to see if I could participate in some of the class, as going stir crazy with no exercise (not that I am a gym bunny, but having gone 3 times a week for 19 years it becomes a habit).

Clouding over now in S E Essex, Bering breezy looks like we might get a shower.

Good morning from an overcast, breezy, dry, warm Colchester.
Late again as I can't comment using my tablet ...still...
Slept in this morning due to the humid night being disturbed by a stiff breeze. Feel like I haven't slept a wink.
DH has decided we are going to fix a broken fence today, so I am missing Wednesday coffee meetup to assist....ie.make his coffee for frequent breaks.

Good morning all.
I am reminded of meeting my friend last week when we both commented on the fact that we had been delivered a copy of the DM by the newsagent, the DT hadn't been delivered to him.
My friend's very "true blue* and set in his ways husband, asked her to get him some rubber gloves to allow him to pick up the DM and put it in the bin.
I did read mine and could find no meaningful content at all, it was all adverts.

Mapleleaf Wed 20-Jun-18 09:09:39

Good morning, all.
Well, it was a lovely, bright sunny morning an hour or so ago, but now the clouds have rolled in and there's a stiff breeze.
Sorry to hear your news from the hospital panache. ?
Hope you feel brighter soon, Marydoll ?.
Welcome, Wildswan ?.
Hope today goes as planned for everyone.

Marydoll Wed 20-Jun-18 09:08:18

Snap Maw, not an almond croissant, but a strawberry tart! cupcake

MawBroon Wed 20-Jun-18 09:04:02

People watching is the best!
Good old Waitrose cafe is my usual haunt but I find it hard to resist the almond ? croissants so I usually get my free “disposable” cuppa and try to sneak into a corner pretending I am just an old dear who needs a sit down!
I have also <whisper>been known to glance at the DM (I mean Guardian of course!)

Marydoll Wed 20-Jun-18 09:02:16

Thanks Nankate It would be nice to meet up.
I usually decide at the last minute if I'm going to go out. It all depends on my pain and fatigue levels and how quickly I can get moving! The lure of the sales (I do not need any more clothes!) has got me moving, it's a miracle cure!grin
I may have missed the train, as I keep dipping into GN.smile

NanKate Wed 20-Jun-18 08:48:00

Sorry you had an unsettled night Marydoll. If I lived near Glasgow I would meet you for a coffee. From the age of about 10 I have gone alone or with friends for morning coffee. I love chatting with friends or just people watching. ☕️

Marydoll Wed 20-Jun-18 08:32:38

Good morning, Wildswan ? Welcome!

aggie Wed 20-Jun-18 08:31:13

Good morning , verg damp here , slept in this am , am still groggy !

NanKate Wed 20-Jun-18 08:31:08

Good morning Wildswan you have come to the right place for weather forecasts, news of posters activities and being in the company of pleasant folk.

If all else fails ask to be directed to the Cafe in Ikea. ?That is if they have a Cafe.

ninathenana Wed 20-Jun-18 08:30:35

Morning everyone.

At the moment it's overcast in N Kent but for the last few days it has changed in the blink of an eye. 27c in my car yesterday afternoon.
Thinking of all those who are in pain or worried at the moment. I hope things improve for you flowers

wildswan16 Wed 20-Jun-18 08:27:49

I've never said "good morning" before! My apologies for my bad manners. Please remember me today as I will be lost somewhere in Ikea. Even when I follow the arrows on the floor I get lost.

NanKate Wed 20-Jun-18 08:27:47

Thanks for the advice Mick.

ginny Wed 20-Jun-18 08:27:44

Good Morning from my lap top and a changeable N. Bucks.
Monthly sewing day today so a pleasant day with like minded friends.
Hope those feeling under par find some relief.

NanKate Wed 20-Jun-18 08:25:35

Morning Mick and All.

So sorry Panache you have yet another hurdle to cross. I have a tel call planned with doc she wants me to reduce some tablets I want to increase them. I expect she will win.

Maw I read Northanger Abbey for O Level, that takes me back. Also Bluebelle I haven’t heard the lovely expression ‘changes on a sixpence’ since my childhood, what a happy memory. ?

Gillybob I would love to go on a Zoo Keeper experience day. What fun.????

Marydoll Wed 20-Jun-18 08:21:56

I have a friend who had amazing results after taking turmeric capsules, * Mick*

Anniebach Wed 20-Jun-18 08:20:11

Good morning all x

BlueBelle Wed 20-Jun-18 08:17:43

After me saying it was bright and sunny it’s now overcast and dull spoke to soon

12Michael Wed 20-Jun-18 08:16:49

One item I have been told about and use for certain things are turmeric capsules , cumin seeds and the oil version of it black seed its expensive to buy that is the oil, but its good for digestive system, diabetics plus also adding cumin seeds and turmeric in a glass of water is also benefitting wise.
maybe I should put this elsewhere but its a chat thing.
