Good Morning Everyone,
Its grey and dry here at the moment with a slight autumn chill in the air.
Not my usual Tuesday today ,as I have the chiropodist at 9 , and then later this morning a visit to the surgery to have my ears syringed.

Good morning all from lovely sunny Devon. Need to go to the Library later & grab a few bits of shopping.

If it stays nice I shall be out in the garden later possibly just sitting readingsmile

I really ought to get on with the housework, clean oven, ironing etc but I'm prevaricating as usualblush, at least I live on my own apart from cat but I should have a visitor next monthhmm. It is the upside of being a widow, I only have myself to please although I still miss DH after almost 7 years

NannyJan53 - thank you. It is such a shame you won't be able to attend your Aunt's funeral but I know you will be with her in your heart and soul at the time it takes place. Sometimes you just can't help these things. Believe it or not I am still trying to contact a relative who lives in South Africa I just can't get a hold of her but I will keep trying - thanks again flowers

Good Morning All x
Up until 5 minutes ago the sun was out and it was lovely then all of a sudden it's covered over with a grey blanket of cloud. No consistency here----except when it rains !

I've been sitting dreaming of good times in Mijas and Benalmadena. Many many photographs and souvenir postcards of Spanish ladies in their finery. A visit to Ronda was memorable when the coach stopped up in the mountains to view a golden eagle in flight. What a sight !!
Have a safe journey on your return Urmstongran.

Will have to stay put this morning while I wait for a parcel as I've been e-baying again. Apart from that just a bit of a scurry around the local shops as I want a tube of tomato puree to make fresh tomato soup for today.

Hope all is well with everyone.

Good morning from east London, sun is shining, temperature has yet to lift. I know that as we now have the bathroom back and it was like a steam bath going in there after DP’s shower. Wander up the street this morning to have DP’s phone checked (no one can hear him and the memory card won’t work), dermatology appointment at lunchtime then school pickup later. Have a good day.

Thank you NannyJan.x

Good morning from a lovely sunny NE.
Glazier is coming in an hour to replace blown bedroom window and my hairdresser is due at 10am.
I am expecting a delivery some time today so I will get on with chores while I wait.
Tonight is our Antiquarian meeting where we are having a talk about our town in 1954.

Take care all.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. The sun is shining in South Yorkshire. We have nothing much planned for today except the school run later this afternoon, but I have to try and get a telephone appointment with my GP as I have questions about a referral. Have a good day folks.

Good morning all from Spain with my updated name - I feel like a computer programme! Yesterday’s server debacle on GN meant I couldn’t access site so here’s version 2!

Hope you have a good last day Urmstongran- funnily enough we were down in Torremolinos yesterday having our last day on the beach!

You all seem so busy today so hope all goes well - version 2 is doing couch potato today!

Harris27 Tue 17-Sept-19 08:02:19

Good morning all from a bright but chilly ne. Off to work soon and going to the cinema tonight to see Downton abbey nice treat. Hubby will be at his beloved Sunderland tonight. Hope you all have a lovely day and gillybob can’t keep up with you!

Auntieflo Tue 17-Sept-19 07:59:20

Good morning Michael, Annie too come and all others.
I didn't do too well yesterday, in that I got the appointment time wrong for my eye test.
I felt so stupid, and now have to wait until next week, the day before my pre-op, before they can fit me in.
The upside was, that I unexpectedly met a friend in town, and we had a reviving coffee and good catch up chat.
Great excitement here, as we are off to see our new car this afternoon, and get some paperwork done.
Gillybob, nice to hear that you and Mr G had a slightly better night.
NannyJan, we have been on that aqueduct, spectacular isn't it?
To all those feeling a bit under the weather, take care of yourselves.
Have a good day one and all.

Goodmorning Mick and all x

Sunny and calm here in SE Essex

Urmstongran I love Mijas, I always visit the little church.

Sorting out our malaria medication this morning, then hairdressers, school run and joy of joys taking a GC to a birthday party. I shall have to stay with them until D finishes work!!!!

Have a good Tuesday.

Sar53 Tue 17-Sept-19 07:45:18

Good morning everyone from a sunny Essex by the sea. We've been in Greece for the last two weeks so it's back to reality now. Loads of washing, then ironing to be done, I must go food shopping and lots of admin to be sorted.
I hope everyone has a pleasant day.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Not too bad here.
I may have to join U3A to go on exciting canal trips. Nannyjan!
Take it easy all you intrepid GNers.

We have hospital appt later. Our young German helper/volunteer is building us a new back gate. He's making a good job of it. We had to go to 4 places before we found the materials. He couldn't understand why the garden cenre is mostly just a cafe and sells clothes and cards!

Kitty, there was a piece on BBC Scotland last about an App for dementia sufferers, which allows a music playlist to be created to unlock memories.

There was also a clip about a concert for dementia suffers.
www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-scotland-49694763/dementia-friendly-concert-proves-a-hit

What a great idea.

A quick Good morning from the NE coast when’re we have a bright but chilly start to the day.

After a slightly more restful night, my Tuesday breakfast cafe is open for business with 3 hungry children to feed. The usual wide variety on offer plus a couple of new things to temp. I don’t have little Evie today as my DD’s shifts have been changed (oh how hard they like make it for working mothers) Then it’s school runs and seeing to my dad. Before a couple of hours in “that place” then school runs back to mine. I will deliver them home at about 6.30 pm after they have been fed.

I’m so sorry your holiday is coming to an end Urmstongran and that you will be back to your beloved Malaga soon.

To all this looking forward to trips, treats and travel I hope you enjoy yourselves.

To those feeling under the weather or sad, I hope you feel better soon. Must dash, Gilly x

NannyJan53 Tue 17-Sept-19 07:29:46

Brunette sorry to hear about your Aunt. My Aunt passed away last week, but the funeral is when I am away! My sincerest condolences to you flowers

NannyJan53 Tue 17-Sept-19 07:27:39

Good Morning from a very sunny Black Country.

Had a lovely day yesterday on our U3A coach trip to Llangollen and a canal boat trip which included going over the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct.

Today, I have no plans, may ring my friend and see if she fancies lunch out somewhere.

Urmston Benalmadena Peublo is our favourite place to stay.There are many lovely restaurants to eat in. We have been to Mijas on the bus, quite a ride up into the mountains. Enjoy your last day.

Pleased your dental visit had a positive outcome Marydoll
Hoping all is well for both of your DD's today Susan56

Enjoy your day everyone.

Morning all from a sunny North Leicestershire. Well, dragonfly tells me that it's sunny, the outside of our bedroom velux is covered in condensation outside so I cant actually tell.

Helping on the Carer's course this morning and school run today.

dragknfly, don't overdo it! brew

NanKate Tue 17-Sept-19 07:25:52

Morning Mick Mary and All.

Lovely sunny day here in South Bucks.

Going to play Rummykub today with my old muckers.

I’m so pleased Mary it wasn’t your DH’s golf club that burnt down, as I know you like time to yourself to get up to all sorts ?

ninathenana Tue 17-Sept-19 07:19:00

Morning everyone.
There is a glimmer of sunshine in Kent but so far it's quiet cool.
It's Tuesday so I will be food shopping and driving DH. Still things for him to do in the gardens but things are slowing down.
Enjoy today Urmstrong and safe journey back
Good wishes to anyone feeling below par.

Susan56 Tue 17-Sept-19 07:14:38

Good morning from sunny Leicestershire.

I have so much on today but not sure I have the energy for all.

Shopping first thing, then friends coming for coffee.
Hospital visit then a talk on cannabis oil this evening.

BlueSapphire Tue 17-Sept-19 07:04:09

Good morning from Northampton. It's bright today, and a good weather forecast. Feels a bit chilly though.

A morning doing a few odd jobs, changing the bed, cleaning bathrooms, then a Health Walk after lunch followed by coffee and a chat.

Hope today is good to all.
