Good Morning Sunday

Good morning from the S Welsh coast where the sun is shining. I woke at 5.30 but did go back to sleep.
Thanks for your good wishes Susan, hope your DH is comfortable after his operation.

I am having a cuppa and will attempt the sudoku and crossword shortly. A fish and chip supper for us this evening, there are three good chippies in our seaside town.

Sending my good wishes to gilly she is often in my thoughts. I hope your little GS is better and will be discharged from hospital GG.
Have the best Sunday you can everyone.
PS our repaired flat roof has a new leak ?

Good morning from the NE coast .

I have had a horrible almost sleepless night and couldn’t wait to be up and about half heartedly doing housework.

I confess to having a bit of a melt down yesterday which I think has been a long time coming. Not one single ounce of good news or even the smallest positive sign just more and more bad news every day.

I asked the nurse if I could have a meeting with the doctor and it was arranged for 2pm. At about 1.50 who should arrive but my dad (despite me telling him absolutely not to come as it just adds to my stress and worry). Anyway nurse said the doctor is ready to see you so we trouped down the corridor and my dad followed . Is asked him to stay at my DH’s bedside but he insisted he “wanted to hear what was going on” (obviously he doesn’t believe me and needs to hear it from a man).

I asked the doctor to be honest and he was (brutally so) . My dad then told me (in his usual tactful way) to calm down....I suppose you can figure the rest out for yourselves.

They are now concerned that my DH may have suffered long term damage from being on life support for so long . Apparently the older you are the more strain it puts on the vital organs including brain function. He has complete “myopathy” and I was warned that any recovery might not be “recovery as in back to normal” .

I honestly don’t know where to turn or what to do. I am told this could go on for months or they may eventually reach a point of no return where there is no hopeful sign of recovery. What do I do? I have a mortgage, debts secured on our home and a small business, I am responsible for other people’s jobs.

Last night I was so distraught I had the worst of thoughts going through my head.

Anyway the lesson learned is if you don’t want the truth, don’t ask the questions.

Love to all

Gilly x

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. The sun is shining in South Yorkshire and that means junior footie, but it is a later start this morning I’m glad to say! Nothing much to do today except clean the car and try, sort out some paperwork and find something for lunch!
Hoping Mr Gilly is making progress ??

Good morning Michael, Annie to come and all others.
It's brightening up nicely here in Berks, after a chilly night. DH pinched all the duvet and I ended up with a throw!
Good job I am not a chilly morsel these days,
Anyway, he brought me my early morning cup of tea, which I had to wait to drink, as it's my day for taking my weekly tablet.
Nothing much planned for today, but Church a bit later on, and a catch up with friends, lovely.

DD rang last night, and she is still suffering from a sore throat and mouth ulcers poor lass, I hope they heal quickly, as they are going away on holiday soon.

All healing thoughts to Gillybob and her dear man.
Best wishes to all those under the weather and feeling down.

Have a good day one and all.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. It's dreich again.
I will hear at breakfast from our young guests how the public fireworks display went. I can do without these days.
I was setting up an exhibition with other artists/ crafters which opens this afternoon.
I have been thinking of poor Gilly and her situation and wish we could help and our prayers could be answered.

Good morning Mick and all from a damp Glasgow.

I'm off to church for the first time in five weeks. My sister in law has asked us to accompany her to her church this morning, where there will be a memorial mass for all those who have died in the parish.

This is the church we were married in, our children were christened in and both sets of parents were buried from, so we will have both sad and happy memories.
It's a touching service, where the recently bereaved place a beautiful candle on the altar rails to remember all their loved ones, who have died in the past year. DDG will place one, (with help) for her beloved Uncle Tommy. ?.
However, I cannot vouch for her behaviour, as the steroids have turned her into a hyperactive, Duracell bunny!. . I have a packet of Jelly babies ready for any episodes, which may occur.

I'm feeling a bit yukky, nausea, caused by the osteoporosis infusion and overdoing it yesterday, cooking for the freezer.
However, I'm so looking forward to being out in civilisation again. ...And of course, I'm bound to meet someone I know, despite the church being in the next town!! .

I shall light a candle for Gilly and her family and for all those with health worries and sorrows.
Enjoy your Sunday, whatever your plans.

Morning all a clear bright morning for a change.
Quiet day on the cards maybe tidy up garden if it stays dry,
Thinking of Gilly and hope for better news today.Have a good Sunday everyone.

Good morning from Shropshire where the sun is shining.
Not much planned today.
Grannygravy I hope your little grandson is improving and able to come home today,what a worrying time for you all.
Hope everyone has a good day and that Marydoll,dragonfly,Lins and anyone else under the weather are feeling better.
Love and strength to gilly.x

Good morning from North Yorkshire where it has stopped raining for now.
Off to church shortly. I am reading today. Then back for breakfast (croissants and coffee). Quiet afternoon planned hopefully finishing the baby jumper I am knitting for DDs friend. I have quite an order list so need to get on.
Pub quiz tonight in the next village.
Thinking of Gilly and hoping for positive news.
Hope today is kind to you all.

Xed post gg.

I hadn't heard about your dgs. I hope he is well enough to come home.

Morning all from a North Leicestershire which is currently dry but has rain in the forecast.

Not much on the agenda for us today after a busy day yesterday.

Slow cooked Portuguese beef for dinner.

As always, sending love to gilly.

Goodmorning Mick and all x

Weather is trying to brighten up here in SE Essex and no wind!!!

I shall be preparing my onions for pickling today, roast beef with all the trimmings later. Hopefully we will be joined by AS, his wife and our two GC, that's if the baby (4 weeks old) is discharged from hospital today. He has been in for three days, and has been so poorly, we are keeping our fingers crossed.

Goodmorning gillybob thinking of you both and praying for some positive news for you xx

Good morning from east London, looks quite pleasant outside and wind has dropped; at one point yesterday our car was being submerged by leaves. I think we’ve sorted what carpets we want so we’re being measured up on Tuesday, so impetus to do major clearing up today. (It’s one thing when you’ve got the builders to blame for the house’s disrupted state but I have been making my own contributions). Taxi duty for GD at tea time may be the next chance to get out). Hope everyone has the best day they can.

Good morning from a grey, damp NE.
It was wet and windy during the night and DH was up and down all night so we haven't had much sleep.
Visiting my sister for coffee this afternoon.
Thinking of gilly and hoping for some positive news today.

Good Morning from a dull and grey Black Country.

Had an unexpected invite by DD for dinner yesterday morning , we picked up Mum and SIL's Mum was there also. Was lovely to get together with my some of my family

Partner is going on a long cycle ride today, with the cycling club he has just joined. I am joining them (by driving) to the half way point where they are having a 'sausage sizzle' in Kinver.

Gilly you are still in my thoughts, and I hope and pray you receive positive new soon.

Good morning all and welcome to a damp Northampton morning. Hoping it gets a bit drier as I am fed up with the rain.

So disappointed with the rugby yesterday, but South Africa were the better team on the day. At least my team Saints won on Friday and we are top of the table. Don't know how long that will last though; we have a tricky away match next weekend.

Lazy morning, late brunch and then out to a concert this afternoon. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the Elgar Cello Concerto. It is so rare to have a classical music matinee, so I grabbed a ticket while I could. It is almost a sell-out.

Hoping Gilly has better news for us today.

Good Morning all,
I have just noticed that my ipadmini is typing in my morning greeting on its own , I am so predictable !
It is foggy here , the washing is thumping away in the machine so I hope it is dry today
No Mass in our local Chapel this morning , so no need to go out any further than the garden today , lots of leaves to be gathered for the compost bin
Thoughts are with Gillybob

Good Morning all and to those who follow. It's dark and murky here in Fife, looks to be another yuk day I'm afraid. Still painting our lounge but it's coming on, its moving all the furniture that causes more hassle. Anyway soon to be finished. gilly you are in my thoughts I do so hope we hear some news today. Apart from finishing our decorating today that's it. Hope Sunday is good to everyone.

Like it Ginny. I never read a manual I just get on and do it. DH will have his yellow marker pen ready to highlight key instructions ?

That's why manuals are so-called*NanKate*. My ex was never happier than when he had a new 'toy' and a manual.

Morning Mick, morning All. Still raining in our corner of Somerset, forecast is drier later. Let’s hope. Family due to try to sort our broken kitchen cupboard, I’ll cook for us all later. Gilly and her husband are in my thoughts, love to them and a hope that Sunday is kind to everyone.

Morning Mick and All.

I hope the rain of yesterday is going to slow down or even stop here in the South East. I’m much better with cold and clear weather.

Two breakfasts Ginny ?. Sometimes if I go for an early morning walk I smell bacon being cooked by my neighbours, sheer heaven.

We have bought a Nespresso machine and are collecting it from JL today. No doubt DH will spend an hour or two checking how it works and sampling the blends, whilst I watch the tennis Final from Paris.

Our thoughts are with you Gillybob ?

Just nipped back as I missed you yesterday gilly (must have checked in too soon) and had to go back to Saturday’s thread see how things were. I can’t believe its four weeks. Your poor, poor man and how you’ve stayed so strong so long is amazing and how dare that customer be rude to you - the insensitive lout! Do look after yourself. I hope your ‘lads’ are supporting you at “that place” and keeping things going as you’ve supported them. As Ginny says we’re all there with you, nipping in and out with virtual cups of tea. xx

Morning All

A clearing sky here in Norfolk - at least I think its supposed to be clearing and not going the other way.

Off to DSs today to take a load of plants for their garden (mostly thinnings from ours). I’ll help DGS plant most of them in as otherwise they’ll sit there ‘til spring.

Good morning, it looks to be dry in Leicestershire. I may meet a friend for a walk and a coffee today. She is going on a cruise to the sunshine tomorrow - very envious!

As always my thoughts are with gilly.
