Good Morning Friday

Morning from a wet and windy Surrey.
Another day being nurse YiaYia,DGS still not well enough for school,know how you feel Cornergran!
Welcome Mamo,
hope today goes well Dragonfly and healing thoughts to the Gillybobs.

Have a good Friday everyone.

Sorry, forgot to say welcome Mamo to this lovely good morning thread.

Good Morning from a grey and damp Black Country.

Had a lovely lunch with Mum, her sister and my cousin. Mum and her sisters always meet once a month, and are going to continue even though the middle sister passed away in September. Though Mum feels it just won't be the same.

No real plans today, may have a walk into town this morning, then make soup for lunch, and tackle ironing this afternoon!

Looking forward to hearing about Marydolls journey home, as she hinted that it didn't all go smoothly yesterday!

As always, thinking of gilly

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. My weather report today is fine so it's lies about constant rain.

Thanks for waking us up Rufus . I ordered tea and ut came, thanks.
Welcome mamo. !
Good luck Gilly and Dragonfly and all in hospital or struggling.
Yoga this morning. I suppose I should think about cards and all that but id rather just chill.

Oh and welcome to Mamo I think you will find this is a warm and friendly place . I really don’t know where I would be without my virtual Gransnet friends who manage to keep me keeping on.

Good Morning from a very wet Bristol.
Dragon [flowers ] I hope all goes well.
Meeting GN today hope to see you later cornergran
Thoughts as always for gillybob
Everyone else take care

Good morning from the NE coast where we have a relatively mild start to the day. Sadly my little “hurray it Friday girl” is still in hiding but I hope she will be back soon.

I will have a nice big mug of strong builders tea please Rufus a little splash of milk and no sugar, what else for a Geordie girl eh?

No real news today, just more of the same really. DH still doing okay and managing to breath in his own, but back on antibiotics and still suffering from horrible delirium and hallucinations. They still tell me there is every chance he will just “snap out of it”

I had the second hour of torture at the dentist yesterday afternoon getting my from tooth root canal finished off (hopefully) . Have been in agony most of the night with that throb, throb, throb of toothache where you just don’t know where to put yourself. I’m sure I have overdosed on painkillers but they don’t seem to have touched it.

Looking forward to reading Marydolls antics during her return from NY. There’s nothing in the national news about a Glaswegian gran causing mayhem in America so hopefully she made it home without too much drama.

Thinking of you Dragonfly brave lady. Wishing it all over for you soon and getting back to normal. . Hoping for better times on the horizon for all those feeling sad or poorly today .

To those enjoying happy times and holidays, long may they continue .

Huge thanks (as usual) to all those who continue to hold DH in their thoughts and prayers.

Love Gillybob xx

Good morning from a dark gloomy Essex. Enjoyed my evening in London with DS yesterday to see the musical Hamilton. The story is quite confusing(for me anyhow!) but the music and dancing is amazing with so much energy. Second time I've seen it and would go again.
Some local shopping this morning and then a pre Xmas lunch with friends. May have to cut it short(4 hours! ) as have a hair appt at 4.30?
Await the promised Marydoll adventure and thoughts as always to Gillybobs and anyone with worries or troubles xxx

Morning everyone from a dry and windy north Wales - a chamberpot of tea please Rufus!

Best wishes dragonfly with your treatment and to anyone else unwell and worried. Have missed GN whilst my birthday celebrations were being undertaken on lovely Anglesey where we ate too much and partook of the demon drink - my grandmother is still spinning in her grave!

Welcome Mamo if you’re new - we’re always keeping an eye out for folks to add their whereabouts etc and you’re just across the water from me here in north Wales!

Good morning to all GNs. A dull grey morning again in South Yorkshire. Dentist for me this morning. Check up, but will I get a clean bill of health today? Fingers crossed! Hope your chemo goes well today Dragonfly?. Hope Mr Gillybob is making progress. Have a good day folks.

Good morning everyone,

Welcome aboard, Mamo. You are certainly not intruding - it's always nice to have new posters and we've had a few join in this last month or so. You'll soon recognise who is who. ?

It's not so cold this morning, but it is grey and breezy. I much prefer the brighter weather.

Dragonfly, I hope all goes well with the chemo today. Thoughts too, with gilly and her DH. ??

I'm expecting DH home later this morning. He had a works "do" last night so stayed overnight (he normally comes home Thursday evening if he takes a Friday off). I hope he had a good evening.

I managed to finish writing all the cards last night, but I bet I've missed someone out, I usually do, despite going through the address book. ?

Here's hoping that you had a reasonably uneventful return from NY, marydoll and that the trip was all you hoped for. I'm looking forward to reading of your adventures shortly! ?

Have a good day, all, and to anyone feeling unwell, I hope you feel well very soon.

Welcome Mamo

Good morning, everyone, this looks like a very friendly place to drop into now and then, though the regulars all seem to know each other very well so I hope I’m not intruding or sitting in anyone else’s chair? I’d love a big mug of strong tea please, after a restless night. Dark but dry here in Wicklow and glad to have a day off work, as the GP surgery where I work is out the door busy these days. Heading to a choir practice this morning followed by a catch up with an old friend in the city. Daughter who lives in London is over for a few days so hoping she’ll take care of dinner. Have a good day, everyone!

Good Morning All x.
I think it's dry out, so dark I can't make anything out yet. The cats are still out so that indicates dryness. It's not cold.

I took a chance yesterday by going into the village when expecting deliveries, but I hurried around everywhere and knew what I wanted so was able to scurry back just in time to receive a couple of parcels from the mailman. Phew ! I hate having rush around shops.

I'll have another good old shop and a mooch next week and hopefully finish off before the onslaught.

Some tidying/hoovering to do today but not much else.

I'm hoping my family in Sydney are alright and coping with the smoke as SiL doesn't cope too well in a bad atmosphere. They're in the suburbs and I keep thinking of the zoo not far from them which is heavily laden with trees----as well as all the animals of course. Not such a nice Christmas for them all. My D was worried about the drought when they were here in June.

Good to learn that Dragonfly is battling on and getting on with life, you brave soul x
Also hope the Gillybobs are doing the same xx.
Anyone else with life's struggles I hope things improve. Everyone enjoy the day whatever you do, or don't do.

Yes Ginny I remember that programme.

Good morning all from a cold and dark Stockport.
Being taken out shopping today ,what a nice change especially as lunch out will be included.
Special good thoughts sent to Dragonfly today and to all not well or looking after others not well.

Goodmorning Rufus and all x

Wet and still dark in SE Essex!!

Off to GS"s school this morning for Carols and Christmas Crafting

Marydoll have you recovered from your time "across the pond"?

dragonfly I hope your chemo session goes as well as can be expected, take time to rest and be waited on

Hopefully gillybob will post today,

Morning All. Thanks to rufus for holding the fort this week. It’s dark, wet and windy in our corner of Somerset. Looking forward to meeting new people at a GN meet-up this morning if poorly granddaughter is well enough for school. Truly weary after the last two days and very pleased to be back in my own bed last night. Love to gilly as ever, look after yourself dragonfly, looking forward to hearing about marydolls trip home. There seem to be a lot of poorly people about, get well soon and hope Friday is kind to everyone.

Morning All.

It seems slightly warmer here in South Bucks.

Off to the dentist today to have a post put in my gum ? in readiness for an implant. I’ve had to do a lot of saving for this but my lovely dentist did one for me some years back and it is still rock solid.

Looking forward to hearing that Mick has enjoyed his Bournemouth holiday. It’s a lovely, but very busy, seaside town with very long sandy beach.

Looking forward to hearing about Mary’s eventful trip home.

Hoping for improved news from the Gillybobs. ?

Good morning all. Will be busy today getting decorations from loft and putting up the tree. Picked my 5 year old granddaughter up from school yesterday and she said " oh can't wait, it's nearly weekend !" Yes I said, only one more day at school. She looked at me and frowned, " no, it's not that, I'm excited because you said that you were going to put your tree up this weekend!" Bless, I'd forgotten just how excited little ones get when they see a Christmas tree! Hope the Gillybobs are doing well and that Marydoll managed to get back in one piece ? Have a lovely day everyone.

Good morning Rufus and everyone from a very wet Northampton. Sitting with a cup of extra strong tea, but will have my skinny cappuccino later when I get to the M&S cafe.

May start writing my cards this afternoon. My priority are the ones to Oz, to late DH's cousins in Brisbane and Port Douglas, which need to be in the post soon. They came over for DH's funeral last year, for which I was very grateful, but his mother's side of the family had always been very close. I hope to get over and visit them at some time.

DS came round and got the decorations down from the loft yesterday, for which I am very grateful. In future I shall store them in the garage, so I won't need to trouble him.

Hope today goes well dragonfly, and that everyone else's day does too.

Good Morning fro the S Welsh coast.
Very wet and windy here, been raining all night.
Take care of yourself dragonfly.
Hope all have a good day and to those with pain and worries ?
That was Ready,Steady,Cook Ginny42

Beechnut do you remember there used to be a programme where someone took a few ingredients to the studio and a chef made a meal? I think they would have been seriously challenged with your eggs, a swede and a pot of yoghurt.

Forgot to send a Friday message to Gilly earlier and now warm wishes to you dragonfly. Newquay get well soon and Dora enjoy the concert with your DGC. They will be excited.

Good Morning All.
I hope Mick is enjoying Bournemouth.
Cold and dark in Cheshire

Good Morning to all and to those who follow. It's dark and damp here in Fife at the moment, like yesterday no idea what the weather is going to be for the day. We have our DGS's today so a busy day ahead of us. Xmas is drawing very near andalthough I do have a lot done I still feel this anxiety to do lot more. Ginny42 a sad day for your friend I hope everything goes ok. Beechnut good luck with your decorations. For everyone else here and following have a good day. Thoughts are with Gilly and DH.
