Got back from DD's this morning and on a brief inspection of the back garden saw that my apple tree had completely fallen over with the weight of the fruit. So now my job this afternoon is to get all the fruit off it, and then have a think about how to stake it up again. Might have to call on the good offices of one of my lovely kind neighbours who might be able to spare a bit of time.

Good morning all, lovely sunny day here on the edge of London, very Autumnal now but beautiful when the sun shines. Off to do a bit of retail therapy in the high street, trying to do that rather than on line of late, and meeting up with my pal for a long lunch by the river. Have a good day Gns.

Good morning.
It’s a beautiful day here so far, with lovely bright sunshine and blue sky. I think it’s been rather chilly through the night, though.
How lovely, Mick - a wedding to attend. I hope you have a smashing time.
To all of you not feeling so good today, get well soon and take care of yourselves.

Good morning from a sunny NE.
Nothing planned for today.

Good morning Mick, Annie to come, and all others. It’s going to be a lovely day here, I think. Also looks as though we may soon have new neighbours in next door. There was quite a bit of coming and going yesterday, but as the house has been empty for months, I’m not holding my breath. Marydoll sorry to hear about your uncomfortable night, and thanks for the solving of the fish supper V fish tea, confusing us down south!
I’m off for a Vit B12 injection this morning, but still no signs of our Flu jabs yet. Lovely to have a wedding to look forward to Mick. Have a good day one and all.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Late again. Broken night and painful legs. A lovely sunny start in South Yorkshire. School run this afternoon but we may squeeze in a walk on the way over to DDs. I’m not a big fan of weddings, Mick, but I hope you have a lovely time at your nephew’s! Hope the pain in your hands eases soon, Marydoll?. Have a good day, folks.

Good morning Mick and all, clear blue sky in Lancashire. I was going to stay in today but feel like a walk as the weather is so lovely. It might clear my head of this cold.
Hope you get relief for your painful hands Marydoll. Look forward to hearing about the wedding Mick.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Hope everyone has a good day x

A late good morning from East Northants - I'm another one who had a bad night with a sore arm from the flu jab. Maybe because I had it done at the chemist this time. She took so long, I thought she was drilling for oil! It's sunny and dry so a trip to the shops for me followed by coffee. Hope it's a pleasant day for everyone. Sore hands must be so debilitating Marydoll.flowers

Marydoll Thu 18-Oct-18 08:25:11

OldGoat, a fish supper is fish and chips at any time of the day, a fish tea is fish and chips, bread and butter with a pot of tea, at any time of the day. Confusing, isn't it? grin
DH will have the fish tea, I will have the three course pensioner's lunch for £5.95. Prawn cocktail, small fish and chips and a Knickerbocker glory!
I'm glad you enjoyed your trip to Scotland.
It's a nerve problem with my hands, nothing seems to work, apart from cutting them off!! However, as I "talk" with my hands, I may have a problem.grin

MawBroon Thu 18-Oct-18 08:22:09

grin I could hear you Gagagran and was on the point of asking you to turn it down - in my head of course!
All I can say is that there are infinitely worse earworms!

Alygran Thu 18-Oct-18 08:22:07

Good morning from a beautiful sunny North Yorkshire. There was a fabulous sunrise earlier. We have a bit of a ground frost too.
Sorry to hear about your hands Marydoll. Hope you get a resolution soon.
A friend is coming today and we are off to the Himalayan Gardens near Ripon to see the autumn colours.
Hope the day is kind to everyone.

Gagagran Thu 18-Oct-18 08:17:27

Morning all!

Just back from our weekly supermarket trip on a lovely clear, calm and mild morning here on the south coast.

Hope the weather is like this for the wedding Mick.

Had a poor sleep after intense practising of the "Hallelujah Chorus" at choir last night. I was still singing it in my head at 3am! A quiet day beckons with maybe 40 winks at some point.

Hope your hands ease Mary. Does heat help them?

Get well soon all you poorly ones and have a good day everyone. sunshine

oldgoat Thu 18-Oct-18 08:13:53

Morning all
A lovely bright morning here in York and the builders have arrived early to crack on with the work.
Sorry to hear about your hands marydoll Hope the pain will ease soon. I'm very confused about what the Scots call 'fish and chips' : a 'fish tea' at lunch time and a 'fish supper any time of day!
Have a good day everyone

Brunette10 Thu 18-Oct-18 08:04:20

Morning everyone! Another bright day here in Fife, think we are going to have a nice sunny day again. Marydoll, I do feel for you, it must be very debilitating for you and depressing especially when you can't sleep as it appears to be all so worse through the night. Keep your chin up. Have DD and 2 x DGS today, can't wait so looking forward to having then here. Will get out and about. Hope everyone has a good day.

Pittcity Thu 18-Oct-18 07:43:14

Good morning from a brightening Colchester. Looks like a nice autumnal day.
3 year old DGS here for the day, so a walk to the play park is on the cards.

GrannyGravy13 Thu 18-Oct-18 07:42:57

Good morning from what is looking to be a sunny SEEssex.

Off to exchange the new bedding for the"GCs" room, I managed to be 1 single duvet set along with a "toddler size" set, (cot bed size) that's what happpens when you shop with Husband.

Have a pleasant and peaceful day.

Marydoll Thu 18-Oct-18 07:41:05

Thanks Maw, my hands are always painful, but this is off the scale and there is no respite. It's a flare up, caused by the bl***y kitchen renovations. Too much lifting, no fool like and old fool, who thinks she is still twenty. grin
I need nerve conduction tests, but there is a twenty nine week waiting list (another sign of the demise of the NHS), I have already had to cancel two hand clinic appointments, as the tests haven't yet been done.
Onward and upward as they say. No point in moaning, it's boring for everyone.

ffinnochio Thu 18-Oct-18 07:41:01

Good morning to you all!

I rescued a dying standard Phontinia from a builder’s skip yesterday, which I intend to revive, so today I’ll be digging a hole.

Enjoy the weddding, Mick.

MawBroon Thu 18-Oct-18 07:36:42

“Good morning” !

cornergran Thu 18-Oct-18 07:36:07

Morning Mick, morning All. Bright start to our corner of Somerset. Off out for some air today after a little household stuff. Hope your hands settle marydoll and other poorly people have reasonable days.

MawBroon Thu 18-Oct-18 07:35:28

Got d morning all from a clear and brightening corner of N Bucks.
MaryDoll you have my every sympathy. Is this a sudden worsening? So totally debilitating.
I am off to the acupuncturist again today, hoping for the same positive outcome that I had last week as things have slipped back a bit in the last 36 hours.
Wishing you all a pleasant day.

ginny Thu 18-Oct-18 07:31:13

Good morning. Weather not too bad here in N. Bucks.
Off to collect DGS soon. Not sure what we will be doing today but sure we will be busy !
Sewing club this evening.

Marydoll Thu 18-Oct-18 07:29:46

Good morning all, dry here in Glasgow, but still really dark.
A very disturbed night, the pain in my hands has been unbearable, "someone" was in bed with me, pushing red hot pokers up through my fingers!
We have DGD today and hope to go out for a fish tea for lunch, as we still have no cooking facilities. Fingers crossed, as her asthma looks as if it is flaring up.
Yesterday the lock on the new back door broke (frantic phone call to builder), but because my hands were so weak and painful, no-one could blame me! wink, grin
Kitty, I hope your arm improves. Mick I do love a wedding, looking forward to hearing about it.
Enjoy your day everyone and I hope that those feeling poorly are on the mend.

Blue45Sapphire Thu 18-Oct-18 07:29:24

Good morning all from East Northants for a change as I stayed at DD's last night after our wine club. Looks quite clear out and it's dry. The cats will be wondering where I am! They did not enjoy their visit to the vet yesterday, and turned into hissing snapping banshees, but he managed to give them their jabs! Hopefully will not have to see the vet again till next year. Home this morning and then Sainsbury's delivery this afternoon.
