Good Morning Wednesday

Good morning everyone from Malaga where we have another beautifully sunny one. This is more like it!

I’m late to post as I’ve been reading about Katie Price’s bankruptcy. Oh dear what a car crash. What a roller coster lifestyle - highs then lows. I feel sorry for her to be honest I think she is a very insecure person.

And then it took me ages to read all the posts from you lot! I’d drunk my cuppa going through them. Packing for NY, lunch in a pub frequented by Charles Spencer, spa days in hotels, posh lunch at an expensive restaurant with bite sized portions, kind deeds to a friend - I’ve really enjoyed reading every single one.

Oh and welcome home GG13 from Kenya. Bet you can’t see an elephant in your back garden this morning!

And welcome on here arose it’s nice to give newbies a shout out!
?

By the time I’ve posted this gillybob might have called in. I hope yesterday was a tonic for her.

Hope Wednesday is good to us all whether we have plans or none. x

Good Morning All x

Still/ calm, dry so far and not too cold---no heating on or I won't feel the benefit when it does get cold later this week.
Middle of the week already and my trip to Asda yesterday went to pot as I was on the phone for well over an hour sorting a query out and I was quite flustered at the end of it so wasn't in a fit state to be met with more incompetencies of any sort.
I'm less intolerant these days I'm afraid.

So-----all being well so far, it'll be Asda today.

A flock of geese flew over a while ago, all chattering. There were dozens of them then suddenly they all changed direction and didn't fly to where I thought they were going, they veered Eastwards ?

So glad that Gillybob has joined forces with her DGD once again, some better signs coming from that direction and a bit more normality in her life. xx Good to hear.

Hope everyone else is okay and Marydoll keep out of mischief as it's not long now, so get the old pills sorted out.
All have a good day free from ills.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

It’s my DH’s 70th today - can hardly believe it!

Met with DD1 for lunch in Newbury yesterday, a half way point between us. Shocked to hear she has very high BP (I haven’t) though her cholesterol is low (mine isn’t) and she’s thinner than me.

We are going to a very posh Cotswolds hotel overnight to be pampered. Will arrive in time for afternoon tea. It will rain but it invariably does on his birthday, still it’s to be expected in late November.

Hope you get hold of your pills Marydoll that’s shocking. Hope you had a terrific day with Evie yesterday Gillybob.
Everyone else have a good day.

Good morning from Shropshire.A dull,damp day today.
I am going for a spa day with our eldest daughter and baby Henry today at a local hotel.We have staggered our treatments so we can take it in turns to look after him,he’s a pretty laid back chap so ??
Welcome rose??
Sending good and healing wishes to all under the weather or with worries.
Gilly I’m sure you had a lovely day yesterday with little Evie.I hope that things are continuing to improve.Sending love.x

Good morning from damp North Yorkshire. It’s not raining yet!
Off to meet a friend today and we’ll go to Saltburn to have fish and chips. Looking forward to it as I haven’t been for ages.
Not much else on but starting to get sorted for my weekend in Glasgow with the DDs.
Hope everyone has a good day.

Rufus, are you implying that I'm not up to the job?

May I remind you, I am a woman, I can do anything!

Morning all,dry here at the moment.

Would love to be out sweeping the leaves but not worth the aching afterwards so DH will be doing it,maybe do some cooking for the freezer today.

Hope Gilly had a nice day yesterday,have a good Wednesday everyone.

Morning Michael, Annie and all.
It is very mild here in Berks, and it was me that got up and made tea this morning , as DH is not 100% and has been coughing a lot in the night.
He has a Dr's appointment this morning and will no doubt cough all over him!
Had a lovely long phone call from DS2 last night, and actually managed to get a few words in edgewise.

This afternoon I am meeting with some friends from Church, but apart from that there is nothing planned.

Still sending healing vibes to Gilly and her DH and hoping for more signs of recovery.

Have a good day one and all.

Good Evening: Congratulations everyone on your fortitude in even getting up to face, apparently endless dank mornings! I'd stay in bed all day!
Mick; the other day I posted a URL for an "Old Maps" website which as a cartographer I thought might interest you' I'd appreciate your comments prior to me forwarding it to other interested parties! Any chance?
At the time I said jokingly it might save you on bus fares to your favourite map shops knowing that you all get free bus passes. It's nice to know that all the UK income tax I paid up to 50 years ago is still being put to good use!
Hope to hear from you soon!

start a new career as a TV weather presenter! grin
Marydoll Please don't! GN is already overcrowded with retired TV weather presenters (witness this thread) ; not making a good job of it apparently, as well as retired teachers. It could be a bad career move !
OoRoo
.

Good morning from the NE where we have dense fog. There have been accidents on both major roads with hold ups and usual chaos.
Shopping this morning and then DH will meet up with old work colleagues while I catch up with TV.
Hoping you had a lovely day with Evie yesterday, sending love gilly.

Rose, welcome from me also. We are a friendly bunch!!

Lins1066, thanks for the tip about Superdrug. We have three near us!!

Boots had a Black Friday sale on and I managed to buy a slimline set of travel straighteners reduced to £7.50, plus three for two of their Natural Collection mascara, which is sold out in all their stores here.
A great result, as I thought our local Boots was too small for Click and Collect and I couldn't face the crowds at the Silverburn Mall.

Welcome rose

Good morning from dank Leicestershire.

Going to see my mum this morning - she won’t know me or have any conversation but I like to check she is being well cared for.

NWR this evening so need to finish the book we have been given to read.

Sorry you still haven’t got your pills Mary.
Sending love to Gilly.

Good Morning Mick and all.
Wet here on the S Welsh coast and we have for a high tide later.
Marydoll I discovered that Boots do a Click and Collect earlier this year, also our local Superdrug too. So convenient as I am housebound at the moment, I just send DH!
Hope those who are unwell feel better soon.
Have a good day.

Good morning Mick and All.

Another grey and damp day in South Bucks. It really is depressing.

Off to meet a friend for lunch. She has chosen a pub where you have to arrive by 11.45 as they don’t take bookings and are full by 12.00. The portions are tiny and expensive IMO. There is a great atmosphere but it wouldn’t be my choice but it was my friend’s turn to choose.

Ginny did you ever manage to get the tv and set it up for your friend ? TVs today take ages to get them working hence we got the men from JL to do it and explain to me how it all works, not straight forward.

Best of luck with the tablets Mary.

Looking fwd to hearing about your day Gilly with your young Evie.

Morning all from dry at the moment north Wales! Still in bed with the chamberpot of tea that gets me moving (soon) which DH brought to me - sometimes I fetch it myself and do my exercises while waiting for the boil then brew!

Not a lot planned after trip for DH at Gobowen yesterday - they even did the pre-op so looking good for it to be done within next six weeks. Thanks for the tip Susan56 on parking - we don’t pay in Wales and I nearly dropped when I saw that the prescription charge is £9 per item! Surely those things need to change whichever party gets in?

Hope everyone has a lovely day x

Yes new to this thread NannyJan53
Thank you for your warm welcome. I’ll try to look in when I can ?

Good Morning from another dull, damp Black Country. I was awake at 5.40am, then I must have dozed off again and was woken by DP, I take him to the train station at 7.05am. No lies ins for me until he retires

Received a delivery of a digital camera yesterday (present for DGD aged 8). Luckily I checked inside and discovered the Lithium Battery was not there. So after a live chat, I have to return it and re-order! So that was an hour gone out of my day.

I will drive over to Mums today and I daresay we will go out for lunch

I hope you get your tablets today Marydoll , constant nausea is so debilitating. Get your DH to hide the Quality Street till Christmas

Hope you had a lovely time with little Evie gilly and your DH is still slowly improving.

Are you new arosebyanyothername ? If so welcome to our friendly good morning thread.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. It's not light enough to know if its raining or not. I have a girl coming to help in the garden at 9am picking up litter and leaves she's a horticultural student and will prune shrubs.
I enjoyed the Edinburgh meet up yesterday. I hope Gilly enjoyed her day too.
Have a good day everyone whatever your plans.

Good Morning from a dark and damp Fife once again. Weather is to improve today slightly. Off out for brunch again today to a lovely country larder whose breakfasts are excellent. We shall then do some shopping as DH would like some new black shoes. Will pop into see DD and DGS's at some point as she is off today. Nice to hear gilly having a break yesterday day from hospital hope her DH keeps improving. Sending good wishes to all with ailments and worries. Marydoll the count down has begun in earnest I think

Good morning and hello to all.

Quiet, mild, damp and grey. Hope to see a bit of blue!

What I thought was going to happen today, happened yesterday, which didn’t matter in the slightest, so now I’ve a completely clear day to do with as I wish!

Healing vibes winging their way to the gillybobs.

Ginny, what a lovely friend you are, your friend is a very lucky lady to have someone like you in your life.

Good morning Mick and everyone. It's dark and that's all I know about outside atm. Sleepless night. I read the news at 2.30 a.m. and then settled down and slept.

I have to be at a friend's house at 10 to let someone in to move a bed and then take delivery of an NHS bed. Not sure that that looks like, but gather it will make life easier for her and her carers.

A friend came for dinner last night so it's left over leek and potato soup for lunch. Then I'm going shopping with a neighbour for her to choose her birthday present from me and it will involve [café]. Her favourite venue is Dobbies.

Hope you had a lovely day yesterday Gilly and that it boosted your spirits. Best wishes to Marydoll and Dragonfly and anyone coping with treatments or feeling down.

Take care everyone.
