Good Morning Saturday

This is SUCH a busy thread now isn’t it? It’s only just after 9am and already there are almost 40 posts! I shall read them with my cuppa or it will be 10am before I post!

Good morning everyone from South Manchester where again it’s dry and mild. I think we have had very pleasant weather here since before Christmas. It did rain a little yesterday but not much.

I was reading about the fires around Sydney yesterday - it’s very scary.

No plans today but I must make an effort to get dressed and go out today. This stomach bug has left me nauseous and I have only been eating small meals. I have lost half a stone since Christmas. Anyway I go for my bloods on Tuesday. I hope all is well - I admit to feeling a little anxious.

I hope Saturday (how on Earth!) is kind to us all whether we have any plans or none. x

Good morning Mick and all who follow. Welcome Sark & Lovinit62. I have been down and made coffee but brought it back to bed. DH is still fast asleep. Suffolk has some cloud and some patches of blue sky, so a good day I think. Today we are shifting furniture ready for the return of the builders on Monday plus overnight visitors. Moving to the country has meant lots of that!
Hope you have good days.

DD, SiL and DGD bustling about getting ready to drive north after a very happy short visit. Yesterday included easy lunch for nine as DS and tribe joined us and then DD, DGD and I had a lovely cinema trip to see Little Women which is absolutely wonderful. We sniffed and smiled the whole way through, and DD shed the odd tear and we agreed that the film was a wonderful reflection of Alcott’s books with something extra. If you loved Little Women don’t miss it.

Hope today brings health improvements for Marydoll (good news about the meds), Gilly and Mr Gilly, Lins, Dragonfly and all feeling thoroughly under the weather. I have a day of bed stripping and laundry so may need reviving later.

Welcome, lovingit62!
You may wish to meet up with the Edinburgh Grans, when you get to know us better.

What dreadful news Bellanana so sorry to hear. That’s good service marydoll I’ve had good service too from the healthteam I attend. But it’s nice to hear. Well it’s a cold day in the ne. But dry. I will do some shopping today at Aldi and then home. This evening we are invited to my sisters for a meal so will enjoy that. Love to all who are struggling at the moment and have nice day to others who are busy.

Welcome to Sark, when I first saw your name I wondered whether you were from the island, then read on.

Good morning from a dry but very windy NE.
A quiet weekend for us I think, family wined and dined over Christmas and New year and then they depart.
Such sad news Bellasnana, it takes a lot to get over a shock like that.
Thinking of the gillybobs and others with problems.
Good news Marydoll about your meds.

Good Morning Mick and all. Cloudy here too on the S Welsh coast. I slept more last night than I have for a long time, still in bed with a cuppa.
Managed a walk yesterday afternoon and saw a lovely sunset. Thanks to the NHS and the wonderful back brace they gave me making such an outing possible, glad it is winter though so that a coat hides it! Thank you for your good wishes NannyJan.
An awful tragedy for your friend Bella.
Hope your new meds do the trick * Marydoll*, take care.
Welcome Sark.
Hope everyone will have a good day.

Good morning everyone from a dark and dreary Derbyshire. Hope the weather is better for others.

Good morning all from a cloudy and windy West Lothian. This is my first ever post as well @Sark and am looking forward to chatting with you all.

My DW and my first DGD was born 6 weeks ago and we both retired 3 weeks ago so everything is a bit new to us at the moment but so far, we are having a ball.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a cold, dark but dry South Yorkshire. We both had a bit of a broken night so will be taking it easy today. I have a couple of phone calls to make to people I didn’t manage to catch up with over the holiday. If I’m honest, I don’t care for the phone!
Bellasnana what a truly awful shock for your friend; my heart goes out to her.
Sark welcome and many good mornings to come!
Have a good day, folks.

Good morning everyone the sun is trying to shine on norfolk. BELLASNANA what a terrible thing to happen, your friend is in my prayers. Garden Centre later this morning I am going to buy DH lunch in the lovely cafe. He is retired but has spent the last six weeks standing in for others so they could take their holidays, he deserves a treat. Hope you soon feel better MARYDOLL

Good morning from North Yorkshire. Another bright and clear day beckons here.
Some admin to do this morning then lunch and cinema with a friend.
Sending good wishes to those on the sick list.
Bella what a terrible thing to happen.
Hope Saturday is kind to everyone.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Morning all from a damp north Wales where the wild mountain ponies have just wandered down through the village - first time this winter and usually a sign of really bad weather to come!

Off to Llandudno this morning for a few bits and pieces and coffee with DD if she’s free. Hope everyone is starting to feel better after their various lurgies and treatments and enjoys the weekend. Sad to hear about your friends DH Bellasnana

Good Morning from another mild Black Country. It was glorious blues skies all day yesterday.

Mum had a good birthday, her sister came over from Telford, lots of phone calls. I took her to lunch in my DD's village,then spent time with them playing games with 2 of my DGD's/

Today is the family meal, there will be 16 of us.

Bellasanana that is so heart breaking to have happened, so sorry and sad for your friend.

Welcome to GN Sark this is a lovely friendly thread.

for NanKate I hope you get the treatment you need and feel better soon.

Best wishes too to Marydoll hope you feel better soon. Thoughts too with gilly Dragonfly and Lins

Scentia my youngest was 41 two weeks ago! Now that makes me feel old!

Good Morning all, dark and still outside . I made a big pot of soup yesterday too , most of it is in the freezer in small portions , handy for a quick lunch .
That was dreadful Bellananna , your poor friend , and I expect it has saddened yourself xxx
Marydoll , I hope the meds help you . I have the heating here turned down and off at night , it is a new build and so well insulated it warms up if I make toast ! But I know you need heat with your pains xxxx

Good morning from Birmingham, where there is a beautiful early morning sky promising a sunny day, I hope! I have my two year old and three year old grandaughters here after a sleepover. They very obligingly slept until eight, and are now playing nicely together ( with the occasional argument.) We’re going to make pancakes for breakfast, then have a trip to the park next door.
Mary glad you are getting help so promptly.

Good Morning All from Bristol where we have a clear sky again today. I hope today is as nice as yesterday as it felt like spring.A nice long walk is on the cards and then settle down to catch up with a bit of tv
Bellasnanna so sorry for your friend what a thing to happen.
Marydoll I hope your new meds work,
Welcome Sark
I hope everyone else with ills have a better day.

Good morning from east London, looking promising out there as the sky is clear. Today is a cleaning day; DP is working his way through the dust in the attic and I feel I should at least hold a duster. DD has also gifted us several bags of stuff for the charity shop which I’ll check as her cat gets in everywhere. Hope you have a good day.

Good morning all; still in my dressing gown too, Resurgam! It is dry here in Northampton this morning and looks as though it might be a nice day once it gets lighter.

What a shocking thing to happen, Bellasnana; so sad and heartbreaking. Hope that your friend has her family with her.

Have decided to go into town this morning to pick up a jumper I ordered online, so will have a coffee (and perhaps cake!) while I am out. Then this afternoon will set up the new bedside radio I collected the other day. Have gone for a digital one as I am fed up with constantly retuning to get a better FM signal.

Hope that you new meds make you feel better soon Marydoll.

Thank you Marydoll. and hope you feel better soon.
Have a good day every one

Good morning from a dreich, wet Aberdeenshire.

It will be a wet, muddy walk in the woods today so may have to bath the mutt when we get back. I'll be popular!

Am going to attack the ironing pile today...where does it all come from when there is only me in the house?

Had a lovely long chat with my co-grannie last night and it was fun to compare Christmas notes about the extended family.

Still don't feel like eating much so shall make another bucket of broth to live off.

Have a good day everyone.

Morning Mickand All.

Shortly off to the urgent medical clinic at our hospital as I suspect my hacking cough has turned into pleurisy and I need to get some antibiotics in me pdq.

Report back tomorrow.

Bellesnana ?

Morning Mick, morning All. It’s gloomy in our corner of Somerset, heavy cloud. I’m so sorry for your friends loss bellasnanna, a sad day for you all today. The NHS is wonderful when it works marydoll, look after yourself. Greetings sark, enjoy your breakfast. The flipping germs don’t want to leave us here, both exhausted but minor compared to many ills. Need a food shop this morning, not much else today. Hope Saturday is kind to everyone.
