Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark but its dry here in Brackley this morning.
Usual day bus to Buckingham , then Bicester and back , coffee stops and when I get home a Chinese take away later.
My Bus schedules will change in 2 weeks time ,as we are getting a direct bus to Bicester , but I think I will miss what I do now .

Good morning from a sunny Essex. Didn't recognise what that was in the sky as so long since we saw it here!
Lovely evening in London yesterday to see "Fascinating Aida" Very funny show and my sides hurt from laughing. Definitely aimed at ladies of a certain age and a bit close to the mark on occasions but worth going to see when they go on national tour this year. Thinking of everyone with both happy and sad news today. Life is really a roller-coaster but so glad we can share on this lovely, supportive post. ???Xxx

I’d like to add my CONGRATULATIONS for you and your family GG13 on the safe arrival of your brand new baby grandson - what an uplifting start to 2020.

I expect big brother just wanted a comforting cuddle! x

Hi to the newbies - ??

And Bellasnonna I am so very sorry to hear of your tragic news. That poor woman waiting for her husband to appear with their car. I can only imagine how distraught she must be and how shocking for you all to. Life is cruel sometimes. x

Good morning everyone.

Nothing much planned for today. Returned from a lovely overnight stay in Balmaha yesterday and need to catch up with washing. Will pick up my mum's dosset box at the pharmacy, then will buy stuff to make spag bol for dinner.

Have a nice day all.

Hello again and thanks for the kind messages.

All sorted at the hospital and they confirm pleurisy but think I only need painkillers as it is on its way out.

What fabulous news GG congratulations. ?

Urmstongran Sat 04-Jan-20 11:56:21

Hope you feel better soon now NanKate. A huge dollop of reassurance works wonders doesn’t it?

As with Marydoll the NHS, there when we need it, free at the point of worry, is a true blessing.

NannyJan53 Sat 04-Jan-20 12:32:20

Congratulations GG13 on the birth of your grandson, what a lovely start to the New Year for your family.

What a relief NanKate, lucky you went to the Hospital though. Hope you feel better soon.

Conor we saw Fascinating Aida* about 7 years ago. Very funny! Did they do the sketch on 'Cheap Flights'?

Off shortly to Mums birthday meal, little speech all prepared!

Hello everyone from Somerset - DH and I are just back from an hours walk in the countryside with some sunshine and no rain - lovely! I don't usually look at this thread and have loved what I've read today - all seems kind and ready to hear others' needs with insight and care. Thank you.

Curlywhirly Sat 04-Jan-20 13:02:02

Lovely news Grannygravy, congratulations to all.??

conor Sat 04-Jan-20 13:20:54

Yes NannyJan 53, they did do the"Cheap flights" sketch and it was just as funny! They said the song went"fungal"!!! ?
Lots of new, very current material as well. Still smiling about it xxx

Good morning from west coast Canada. It's just 5:15 am; I am working the graveyard shift and it is very quiet which gives me time to catch up with this group.

Bellasnona - so sorry to hear your news, what a horrible shock to the poor wife.

Congrats to GG13, yay a new babe to cuddle!

I shall sleep for about 4 hours after work, then power through the rest of my day. A friend is having a ladies group for a late afternoon visit, and it is my DH's birthday so I will either make him a nice dinner or take him out. His choice.

Hubby will be busy watching World Juniors Hockey, Canada is in semi finals against Finland, and trying not to shout while I sleep!

Have a good day everyone.

Urmstongran Sat 04-Jan-20 18:29:25

Hi there CanadianGran! What’s your line of work doing the graveyard shift? Where are you in Canada - it’s a BIG place!

Oops! West coast...
