Good Morning WEdnesday

Hello from a damp and very cold Cambridge. This is my first post to GN. I'm happily grieving for my old cat who was killed instantly by a car in the small hours of Saturday morning. I say "happily grieving" because we're doing all right, life is going on, and it does me good to have a quick couple of tears and then get on with it; I have the Jacquie Lawson Advent Calendar on my screen and the first bit of music is "O Little One Sweet": I play it every day. She was beautiful but - er - cussed. Wouldn't let me pick her up, and always licked the jelly off the food and then complained because it was dry. But mercifully when she was run over it must have been instant because there were no injuries to the body, only to the head. She liked to sit in flowerpots, and we'd just bought a new one specially for her, so her ashes will go into that.

I am so sorry travelsafar. So sad for the whole family.

I just scraped in before midday after being on the phone ever since I got back from the school run, changing broadband and phone provider. Quite my least favourite job.

Now I can get back to preparing for the arrival after three more sleeps of daughter and three grandchildren for a month. I bought a small but real tree yesterday and it will be ready for the children to decorate. So excited.

How sad Travelsafar.

My mum died on my DH’s birthday. The first couple of years were hard but now I can celebrate with DH and toast my Dear mum.

Best laugh of the day Marydoll hope your DH doesn’t read this thread. ?

Travelsafar
Sorry for your loss.

Good morning, it is wet and miserable here in the north.
I slept until 9.45. I must have worn myself out yesterday, I removed 5 sacks of books from shelves throughout the house.
Take care Mick and Rufus.

Good morning; very wet here in Northampton. My goodness I'm late this morning! I was out at a dinner last night, and slept in. DD stayed overnight as she was at the dinner too.

Sorry to hear about your fall Mick, and hope you feel better soon.

Should be on a Health Walk today, but not planning on going in this weather. So will get the Hoover out instead!

Youngest DGD being dropped off after school, as her sister and mum will be at panto rehearsals. Just have to find out whether I need to give her tea.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Too cold, wet and dreary in Sussex to venture out, so I’ve just ordered my grandsons Xmas card on line while he is at school. His pup was quite compliant but his face says it all ?

Goodmorning all x

Wet, dark and cold in SE Essex.

Take care of yourself Mick, try ice on your poorly muscle, then some heat, feels odd is he but usually helps.

Sorry to hear of the death of your brother travelsofar, se ding love, hugs and prayers ??

Safe journey Sar53 (Looking get forward to seeing you again soon).

Goodmorning Anniebach xx

Wishing you all a peaceful Wednesday x

Good morning all,
Wet and miserable here in South Yorkshire today. It's meant to be like this for most of the day - such a contrast to yesterday.
I'm sorry to hear about your fall, Mick and glad you are going to take it easy today, but contact your surgery if it worsens.
So sorry to hear your sad news travelsafar. My condolences to you and your family.
Rufus hope you are recovering from your fall, too.

I cancelled the surgery appointment , just taking it easy , muscle at the back of left leg feels tight, walk around and hopefully as the day goes on self heel.
Mick

Good morning from a grey south east. We bought the gc's Christmas presents and Christmas cards yesterday, so had better start on the overseas ones, probably missed the latest posting date for those anyway.

Going to the gym again this morning, I have a bit of a stiff hip, but it's better after 30 minutes on the treadmill.

Other than that, usual stuff, ironing, cooking and laptop. Oh and catch up with "Mrs Wilson" which I dozed off in last night, not because it's boring, but because I tend to do that around 9 pmish .

Have a good day everyone.

Cold and wet in Cheshire. Exactly how I feel today.

travelsfar so sorry to hear of your very sad news

Good morning from a wet Colchester. Shopping and haircut this morning. May have to miss Wednesday coffee meetup in town as we have DGS2 this afternoon and there are not enough hours in the day.
Why do people park inconsiderately without thinking about pedestrians, Mick. Hope you get reassurance from your surgery.
((Hugs)) to travelsafar.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Hope everyone has a good day x

Good morning all , miserable weather , had a visit from an old friend yesterday . I was sad to see him with a Carer as he had been driving a few months ago , but he seemed happy .
Tvavelsofar such a shock for you , so sorry .
Mick I hope the Nurse reassures you

Oh, gosh Travelsfar, so sorry I missed your post chatting to DH. How terrible and what a shock for you all. (((((Hugs)))))

The chair leg must have melted in the heat Rufus! I hope the bruises you can’t see aren’t too painful.

I shall now go and scan through the summer photos to remind me of the wonderful summer (and drought) we had this year.

Good morning all from a frosty Glasgow.
I'm quite late this morning as I couldn't sleep. I had to go out late last night to pick up DH from the station, but got caught unawares as a heavy frost had descended. The windows were thick with ice.
What a carry on, as scraping my car is impossible with my painful hands and as usual I had left it to the last minute, so as not to have to wait in the dark. That is DH's job!
I resorted to de-icer, which DH wouldn't approve off at all!

DH ( a shy man) was so excited, as three women had sat beside him and proceded to "chat him up". I said they either needed glasses or they were drunk!

Travelsfar, I am so sorry to hear your sad news. This is the anniversary of my FIL's death today and it was certainly a very difficult Christmas for his twelve grandchildren that year without papa.

Mick, please make sure you ask the nurse about your leg.

Enjoy your Wednesday, everyone.

Wet, mild and windy in South Bucks
Nan; What miserable weather everywhere! Must be the Old Dart. I sympathise with Mick. I too fell over on Sunday, not because of ice, but sitting out in the sun (30C) on a plastic chair; front off-side chair leg snapped and now have bruises everywhere that I can see. Nothing broken except the chair! You'll have to throw another virtual birthday party for someone to cheer us all up!

Good morning everyone, raining in Lancashire. Sorry to hear about your fall Mick and condolences to you travelsafar, very sad for your family
Have a good day everyone.

Good Morning everyone. As Kitty said it is very damp in Leicestershire.

Sorry to hear about your fall Mick.

Terrible news Travelsofar. So sorry to hear it. Really puts my problems into perspective. Sending hugs to you and your SiL.

I am supposed to be walking with friends later but may end up in the tearoom.

Morning All

Wet and ‘Orrible here in Norfolk. A good day for sorting out cupboards.

I hope you aren’t too bruised Mick, falling in mud usually involves becoming airborne for a few seconds with a very painful landing. Not to mention the undignified limp home covered in mud. Take care. Its good that the nurse will be able to check you over.

Good morning from the NE coast.

Hope you are feeling okay after falling Mick and not too bruised.

Have a good Wednesday everyone.
