Morning all.
Raining steadily in Kent and has been for a while.
No work for DH due to the rain which means I don't need to go out until I get my hair cut this afternoon.

Good morning from Shropshire where the sun is shining .
We are off to Stafford today to visit DD2,SIL and little B.Our daughter has an appointment this afternoon so we will look after B but first we are going for a walk at Shugborough which is only about five minutes from their house.
Our DGD starts preschool today,an exciting but emotional day.We have looked after her several days a week with sleepovers since my daughter went back to work so a big change for all of us.She is still going to stay one night a week.
Gilly,I remember one pharmacy I worked in where all female staff had to take turns cleaning the toilets?not pleasant,you’ll definitely need your clothes peg.Sending you??for later.
Marydoll, so happy you are going to Rome??have a wonderful time.
Dragonfly,Harris and all who are poorly.Rest,recuperate and wishing you all a speedy recovery.

Good morning from Cornwall where the sun is shining at the moment. Not sure how warm it is as i am still in bed having a cuppa. Arrived here yesterday after 2 long days in the car traveling! Hope all have a good day and have a lovely holiday Marydoll.

Oh crikey Harris I am so sorry . I remember you mentioning your kidney stone and being admitted to hospital the other day. I hope you are feeling a lot better now that you are home . Have they got rid of the stone or is is still lurking ?

flowers to you too and best wishes for a speedy recovery .

Good morning all. Been away had lovely cruise then travelling home took ill. Had to go to hospital and was admitted with kidney stone hellish pain been in hospital four days and home now, full praise for nhs staff they were. Marvellous but I think seriously overworked! I’m so grateful to be out of pain and the thought I made it home and wasn’t I’ll on the ship makes me think ill have a staycation next Year!

Good morning. Grey and damp in North Yorkshire.
Off to town this morning for a wander round the market and to get a new phone. Coffee with a friend this afternoon.
Good to hear from you Dragonfly. Enjoy your holiday Marydoll. Not been to Rome since my silver wedding. DGS and family called in on their cruise this year, it was DGS’s favourite calling point.
Have a good day everyone.

Good Morning all from the S Welsh coast. Much needed rain last night. Showers are forecast but it is sunny and there is a bright blue sky now.
Physiotherapist was pleased with my progress yesterday. I still have some pain when walking so she gently manipulated the joints around the operation site. A review appointment in three weeks.
Nothing planned today which is nice. We like listening to the cricket on the radio. I still miss the dulcet tones of John Arlott, Jim Laker etc. My father loved cricket so always think of him especially at these times.
Best wishes to those who are poorly. Good Luck with your recovery dragonfly as has been said, there is nothing like your own bed is there?
Have a great holiday Marydoll and a good day to everyone else.

Newquay have you tried Anthisan cream on your bites from Boots ? It works for me as I am bitten regularly.

NanKate Wed 04-Sept-19 07:40:51

Good morning Mick and All.

Grey and damp in South Bucks but should brighten up.

So pleased you are finally on your way Mary. Do the locals know you are coming back and ready to have a good old chat with everyone ? Have a fab time.

Sorry to hear about your Aunt NannyJan hope she gets some good treatment.

Preparing for a few days away from tomorrow.

Good morning from a rather damp east London, hope it dries up in time for tennis this morning. Enjoyed my walk yesterday on the North Downs, although possibly too much road walking to make up the distance. As school starts today, picking up GD later and it’s also back to gymnastics for her after. Have a good day.

MawB Wed 04-Sept-19 07:29:53

Good morning, Autumn seems to have arrived in N Bucks after such a lovely day yesterday. An well.
Signing passport photos this morning for a friend’s daughter who had her bag with wallet, phone , passport and everything stolen in Mexico. She actually lives and works in Amsterdam but can’t apply for her new passport from outside the UK so has come home to fix that.
Then off to London to see DD and little Otis. Judging by recent pics (I haven’t seen him for a whole 2 weeks) he has grown and developed enormously as they can do at this age (just under 6 months)
Wishing you all a pleasant day!

Newquay Wed 04-Sept-19 07:29:46

Good morning from a wet Staffordshire-glad I got the lawns mowed yesterday although I now have a bite of some sort on my arm which is a lump! That’s new! Despite all my pills and potions-am thoroughly fed up this year being bitten all the time.
Builders finished yesterday, dust everywhere. 2nd eldest DGD said she’ll come round to help us clean before she goes back to Uni.
Local DGS started senior school yesterday-he reported all good and eldest DGD started her first job as Year 3 teacher. She has been so excited preparing (even on holiday!). She will be a great blessing to these lovely children.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders.
I was woken with a cup of tea in bed. Nothing nicer.
So glad to hear you have got away to Rome Marydoll !
Thoughts are with Dragonfly and all the poorly people.

The sun is trying to shine through. .Our little one had the all clear at hospital yesterday and was the perfect patient. The big DGC are back to school today in England.
Hope everyone's day goes well.

Brunette10 Wed 04-Sept-19 07:24:29

Good Morning all from a bright Fife. A bit on the cool side but that's ok. Dragonfly so glad you are home, as cornergran said home is the best place. Gilly yes it's Wednesday half way through your week wink. Have DGS1 today glad it's nice and dry will get out for a while. Hope everyone has a good day.

Nanabanana1 Wed 04-Sept-19 07:22:00

Good morning everyone, a bright morning here.
Coffee morning today with over 60’s group. Had a great Meetup with Gransnetters yesterday.
Hope everyone has a good day.

harrigran Wed 04-Sept-19 07:20:22

Good morning from a dry bright NE.
Not a lot planned for today, perhaps I will tidy up my paperwork in the study.
Have a lovely holiday Marydoll.
Best wishes to all those who are poorly.

gillybob Wed 04-Sept-19 07:17:51

You just made me remember my dream Bluesapphire when a plop of dog poop landed in a deep fat fryer ? confused I actually laughed out loud . I must’ve been thinking about cleaning those disgusting men’s loos !

Beechnut Wed 04-Sept-19 07:17:22

Good Morning everyone.
I hope that everyone who is and has been poorly feels much better soon. Marydoll enjoy your holiday and have a good flight.

It’s damp outside as it has rained during the night. I want to wash the car today so I’ll do it straight after breakfast. I’ve got the steps ready as I can’t reach to do the roof off the ground.

Have a good day all whatever you get up to ?

gillybob Wed 04-Sept-19 07:15:58

Good morning from just along the coast desjumeaux17 ours all went back to school yesterday . Welcome to the Gransnet Good Morning thread if you are new smile

I am so glad you are home dragonfly you can’t beat your own bed. flowers

BlueSapphire Wed 04-Sept-19 07:15:38

Good morning all. Woke to a grey and wet Northampton this morning, but the sun is trying to come out. If it stays dry hope to do a Health Walk this afternoon. Was hoping to cut the front grass today as it is garden waste collection tomorrow, but much too wet.

Woke in a panic this morning; dreamt I was back at school with an expectant class in front of me, and no lessons planned! Utter terror, but just hoping I could wing it, as you do. Then realised I've been retired for 15+ years!

Going to get a few household jobs done this morning; decided to change the colour scheme in one bedroom, so need to hang the new colour curtains and matching bed linen. Must Hoover downstairs as well.

Have a lovely holiday Marydoll. Hope the weather is kind to you in Rome, and that Wednesday treats everyone nicely.

desjumeaux17 Wed 04-Sept-19 07:11:41

Good morning its a lovely fresh sunny morning here in Whitley Bay. Looking forward to my dog walk. Its back to school day round here.

cornergran Wed 04-Sept-19 07:09:41

Pleased you had a good night dragonfly. Home is the best place.

dragonfly46 Wed 04-Sept-19 07:07:48

Good Morning everyone from as Kitty says a very dreary Leicestershire.

Thank you so much for all your good wishes. I had a good night at home last night and feeling quite chipper.

I hope you have a wonderful holiday Marydoll

Sorry to hear about your aunts nannyjan

gillybob Wed 04-Sept-19 07:06:59
