Good Morning Friday

Good morning, third chemo today but fortunately I have written all my cards, bought my presents and got my tree up.

Hoping for good news from Gilly and that Marydoll got home safely.

Good morning all-just having my first cup of decaf tea. Woken with start of a head cold-oh no!
Lovely to hear from folks all over-so sad and scary about fires in Sydney.
Thanks to Rufus for starting thread off-v entertaining!
A good day to all esp Dora with two toddlers on the bus! You using a pushchair? Reins invaluable too I’ve found!

Forgot my flower ?

Good morning everyone.
Dark and wet, fine rain that is blowing about in the breeze.

A food shop today. I came home yesterday, looked in the fridge and I had three eggs, a swede and a pot of yogurt!

This afternoon I plan to make a start with my decorations.

I hope you all have a pleasant day whatever you do

Good morning from Birmingham, where it is still dark, although I can see a faint red glow on the horizon. My plans changed yesterday, after I phoned my daughter in the morning to find her very unwell. I drove to her house, put her to bed, with the baby, called the doctor, then left her with her husband, who came home from work, and brought my two year old grandson here. She is now on antibiotics and feeling a little better, and my grandson is still sleeping, so I am having a quiet cup of tea. My three year old grandaughter will be here around eight, and at lunchtime we will be going to a children’s concert by the CBSO. It’s a long time since I have taken two toddlers on the bus, so I hope they are good!

Morning all from a damp North Leicestershire.

Thank you for stepping into the breach Rufus.

Some last bits of Christmas shopping this morning and then school run in Derby for me today.

Good morning Rufus and thank you for opening the shop whilst Mick's swanned off to sunny B'mouth! It's dark and my phone tells me it's a balmy 12C outside in Cheshire. I'm back in bed with a mug of English breakfast cha.

So to today's plan. Not a happy one I'm afraid, so I'm painting a not so nice image of the old country! I am accompanying an old friend to a care home for respite and she's unhappy. This is because carers cannot be found even though she is paying. The company doing it so far has run out of staff through sickness and resignations. However, she will be cared for until after New Year, when I hope to have found a private carer.

Before that a walk in the beauty of the woods with my neighbours who always cheer me up and later, going to meet my lovely sister for shop and natter. This will undoubtedly involve more tea, possibly Assam, and definitely cake!

Have a good one.

Good evening Rufus2 make mine an extra hot flat white please! It has been quite warm in Sydney today but the smoke is very bad here in our suburb. At least we have no fires near by, just the smoke. Our thanks go out to the emergency services!!

Have been out most of the day Christmas shopping. Now sitting down with a glass of red....

Hope everyone has a good Friday.

Take care....
