Good Morning Thursday

Hi Rufus2, I'm in Victoria too. Tomorrow's gonna be a scorcher
GrandmainOz; Welcome! Which bit of Vic. I'm in E. Melb, about 30 km from CBD. If you're anywhere North of me you'll have more than a scorcher tomorrow! We are promised a max. of 44C after an o/nite "low" of 28C ! Definitely a "nuddy" tonight as a bare minimum! Been here nearly 50 years, now on my own; still got Mancunian blood!; now 9.11pm also v humid.
Sleep well.!

Hi Mick, great to have you back although everyone did a sterling job in your absence. It must feel so good to have been missed by us all. This technical age is great until things go wrong.
Off out this morning to get my glasses checked and maybe (probably) pop into one of our lovely cafes. Later though back to the gym to get my daily fix. No I'm not obsessed it just works for me. This time last year I was on crutches and in a wheelchair, now thanks to my treatment and the gym I can walk pain free on 1 crutch. Lots to be thankful for.

Thanks AuntieFlo just keeping the seat warm for Mick.

Thanks also to the regulars here, especially Maw for standing up to the bullies and stirers.

Great to know you're back, Mick, and things are normal again.

Good luck with caching up with all the emails and with the buses today!

Damp and dismal here but a day of computing does not need good weather.

Morning all , mizzly rain and cold out , waiting for my sister to ring , and going out for lunch .
Nice to be back to normal with Mick at the helm

Hey Rufus2. Hope you can sleep in the heat. We're about 120k's north of Melbourne. Expecting 45c tomorrow. OH commutes to the CBD every day. I'm a softie southerner. Been here 13 yrs so we're fresh off the boat compared to you My youngest has a summer job as lifeguard at the outdoor pool. He's gonna earn his $$ tomorrow!! G'night

And thanks for the welcome everyone
Goodnight from me and hope everyone gets through their day safely

Having a lie in this morning only to be woken just after 8 by hubby. He'd slipped on ice whilst walking the dog and fallen backwards and cut his head. Luckily a nice couple helped him home. There was so much blood! Cleaned him up and thankfully only a 1cm cut and some grazes. Called NHS Helpline and they were so lovely , called us back within half an hour and they asked him loads of questions. Bleeding had stopped but hes to rest and no driving and I'm to keep watch for any other symptoms. Get downstairs to find dog has come out in sympathy and been sick all over conservatory floor! What a morning! Take care everyone out there its really icy here in Milton Keynes.

Thanks also to the regulars here, especially Maw for standing up to the bullies and stirers
Nan; Careful! No names, no packdrill as Grumppa said. Maw is going to drop in on you any time now to correct your spelling.
So this marks the end of a lovely friendship! No trip to Knoll beach and sacked as your dance partner! Oh well; Teetime still has me on her dance card for the Valentine's Day Ball, I hope, so all is not lost! It's been nice knowing you.!

No frost here in South Staffordshire but grey and gloomy
Have a friend coming this afternoon and this evening am going to see Kate Humble at our local theatre which I am really looking forward to ???

Why do I find myself feeling sorry for Teetime? I don’t even know her.

Good to see you back Mick.

A very late good morning; maybe buenas Dias instead. I had to rush off to tennis this morning as got carried away reading a book. Thanks for the good wishes yesterday, it was a skipping day although I had to go steady given the slippery pavements.

That's great news!

Welcome back Mick hope the computer work hasn't left you too out of pocket.
Cold here in Notts. but there's a patch of blue sky.

Wonderful to hear your good news Myth (hope you don’t mind the chummy shortened name - I kept having to check and thinking the ‘ next part was ‘bird’ ... saw it was ‘birt’ and gave up!

Why do I find myself feeling sorry for Teetime? I don’t even know her
Urmy; that's not very charitable especially coming from a Lancashire lass. Who's jealous now? You appear to be yet another misandrist after my guts!
Tut tut! Picking on an OBE; you should be ashamed of yourself.

Good afternoon Mick
It is good to know all is well

Interesting how the 'holier than thou' posters manage to defend someone they have never met and jump on someone who criticises them, Sorry to head teachers about spelling!!
Psychologists would have a field day.???

Is it? (interesting)

Some of us on GN have met in RL, most have not.
Why should that preempt defending a person against unwarranted criticism or hostility?

Wow, yes miss......

And your point is...?

Can almost see the steam coming out of some people's ears??

And Good Morning to you too Megs

Psychologists would have a field day
Megs; Would you be interested in co-authoring a paper to the Aus. Assoc. of Psychology? They'd pay big bucks!

defending a person against unwarranted criticism or hostility?
Maw; where's your evidence to support your claim?
You remind me of the definition of a fanatic; "Someone who re-doubles their efforts even when they've lost sight of their initial objective!"
Something to think about when you toss and turn in your bed tonight. , but try and sleep well.
We've just emerged from 29C min o/nite and now bracing for 44C today! Please have pity on us!
