Good Morning Friday

Good morning All x

Slightly greyish this morning but unseasonably mild. Windows open to air the place.
Woke up with a " thick sore throat " ( catarrhal infection ) by the feel of things so a couple of paracetamol immediately. Stomach is rumbling with hunger so it's porridge with honey to slither down instead of my usual buttered crumpet.
Hopefully it won't reign long ! I did wonder if I'd escape the bugs or not

Anyway, nowhere near as bad as some who are suffering !

Stay safe all you travellers.

Good morning.
It looks like another p,easy to day again today, with the sun attempting to peek through.
Had another lovely day yesterday, taking a walk around the grounds of another country house. (On a much smaller scale to the one we went to on Boxing Day). There were not many people at this one, but it was delightful - so calm and peaceful. There’s so much beauty to see in the winter months, isn’t there?
Not sure what we’ll be doing today.
Whatever you do, I hope you have a peaceful day.

Pleasant, not p,easy. Don’t know where that came from!

Good morning everyone.

Oh Nankate I would love to be where you will be today. Say hello to the waves for me. I used to live a block up from the sea at Hove and took that walk every day after work and a swim if it was warm enough.

I am being rescued from the chaos of home by my big brother and sister-in-law for a quiet meal out at lunchtime whilethe crazy six grandchildren have fish and chips here with their parents.

Grey day in Sussex but am taking 3 of my GC for a brisk country walk before 2 go back home with parents today after staying with me, for a lovely family Xmas. Then am packing my case pm for a trip to Lake Como for the New Year, so very excited.

Morning all , not long out of bed . Wee Sis gone home so house to myself , she returns on Monday for another few days, Daughter and family here on Sun , but staying next door . It is nice to have the house to myself , feel guilty saying that ! bet I will be wanting company next week lol

Morning from a bright sunny Scottish Borders quick tidy round then a walk along the river. Will do a litter pick as we go. Hope everyone is well.

Morning all from a dull and cold Hampshire.
Quiet day at home today, as feeling headachey and cold.
Hope it will be good news for people waiting results and seeing Doctors and get well soon to all feeling poorly ?

Annie, what is EMDR please ? I find all these abbreviations a bit like a secret code for people in the know and I am an outsider! It is not very welcoming I don’t think for newcomers to try to sort out what the posters mean. Don’t think it happens on other sites so why did it start here ? Guess I need to do some homework so I can decipher what everything means....

Pippa22 EMDR isn’t an an acronym. They are listed for you at the top of the forum page to assist you. Anniebach is having counselling following a close family bereavement & this is what it is known as. I’m not au fait with what it is either but we can always ‘Google’ it if we wanted to.

I looked it up.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an interactive psychotherapy technique used to relieve psychological stress. It is an effective treatment for trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Good luck Annie thinking of you

Anniebach, I know you can do it ???

Sorry Anniebach I forgot to say I hope your appointment goes well & you don’t find it too distressing. You are very brave in taking steps to help yourself to a better place mentally.

I'm staying with my daughter and family in Nebraska, USA, and its minus 14 just now....!!!!!
