Good Morning Wednesday

Good morning everyone,

It's another grey day, but at least it's dry for the moment and not windy.

Oldgaijin I am so sorry to read your news, but I admire your strength and fortitude. I send you lots of hugs and hope you can keep posting for as long as possible. ?

To all other posters with problems in any form, I hope today brings comfort to you.

Take care, all.

Good morning from Northampton where it has at last stopped raining and the wind has dropped - DGD and I were practically blown home yesterday afternoon.

Was woken early by the cats this morning while I was trying to have a lie-in; I managed to put them off till 8.15. Hoovering upstairs this morning, and book the Sainsbury's delivery for tomorrow. Then my ladies wine club tonight.

So shocked to read oldgaijin's news; I find it difficult to find the right words, but wishing you strength and hope that you can live every day to the full. Makes my worries seem so petty.

Make the most of every day folks.

Good morning from a dull Bristol.
Oldgaijin I am so sorry for your sad news ..

Good morning Michael, Annie, and all, from a wet and windy Berks.
Heard a noise last night, but still haven't discovered what it was, no doubt something blowing around.
Oldgaijin, so sorry to read your post today, but your comments made me smile. Well done, and keep posting, you will get lots of support and prayers from here.
Best wishes to Marydoll and the Gillybobs, and all who are struggling with poor health.
Have a good day one and all.

Such difficult new oldgaijin. Your practicality in the face of it is amazing and I can only wish you strength and peace to face what ever is round the next corner. You are an example to us all.

Good morning all from grey N Bucks.
A lot to take in this morning, sad news and better news such as a new bus service for Mick - that has to be a first in this age of cuts to services.
Sending warm thoughts to all with their own personal mountain to climb and wishing you all a peaceful day

oldgaijin - I am so so sorry to hear your news and wish it was better. You are being so brave, you are in my thoughts

As I was reading down the posts I got to thinking what a lovely diverse thread this is, from DoraMarr buying a pencil sharpener yesterday to Mommawolf’s son in law coming round with his digger to make a ditch!

Then I got to your post oldgaijin. Nooooo! What awfully shitty news for you to be given yesterday. My heart goes out to you dear lady.

So a good morning everyone from Malaga. I feel blessed. To write anymore seems insensitive at present.

I hope Wednesday is kind to us all. x

Good morning from the Shropshire borders.
I am going to meet a friend for lunch today.We met when our children started school and catch up a couple of times a year.
Oldgaijin,I am so sorry to hear your news.I too hope you have the support of friends.Sending you so much love and strength?
Ellan,hope you are feeling better.
Sending good wishes to all with health worries and family members who are unwell.
Hope you got your referral gilly and that your DH and DS are doing better.x

OldGaijin your post made me smile after the initial shock and sadness of your diagnosis. I’d be exactly the same, sorting stuff out so that things run smoothly, who’s having what etc.

I love a can do attitude even when it’s bad news and I hope you keep that over the next few months - hugs and love and keep posting X

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning from an overcast NE.
The weather was dreadful yesterday but decided to go shopping anyway. Sainsbury's was empty and I was in and out in no time.
DH is out this afternoon to meet up with old workmates and I will use the time to create some birthday cards on the computer.
Best wishes to all the poorly people.

Morning all very wet here in Surrey.
Oldgaijin so so sorry to hear your news sending you love
Indoor jobs today at least until it stops raining,had some worrying news from my son so he's on my mind all the time.
Thinking of everyone with worries and illnesses,especially Oldgaijin

Good morning all.
I just had to pop in this morning to say heartfelt thoughts go to oldgaijin this morning after reading your post.
No words just loving good wishes to you.

Good morning from North Yorkshire. It looks quiet and dry outside. Hope it stays that way as I need to get out for some fresh air today.
oldgaijin my heart goes out to you. I hope you have support from family and friends. Your GN pals here when you need us.
I hope everyone has the best day they can.

Good morning Mick and all x

It’s dark, wet and windy here in SE Essex, looks like one of those days that never gets light.

Cleaners here this morning, then I have the gym.

Marydoll I hope your GD is on the up today, I have been asthmatic since a baby and it is not nice to say the least!

Keep dry and safe folks

Good morning from a dark and breezy Aberdeenshire.

Well, yesterday's visit to the oncologist didn't go as planned. I asked that he tell me exactly what's going on and the upshot is that my cancer is terminal...bugger, bugger, bugger. I could have a relatively short time or a year or two...my task for the day is to start making lists for when I am gone. Lists of passwords etc, my will is written but need to make lists of who is to get my craft materials, sewing machine, all my possessions of little worth except to the friends who will receive them. a list of funeral instructions, who is to be contacted.
My lovely friend who drives me to clinics etc. has very kindly offered to keep the mutt...her dog is one the mutt's besties and he will continue to be adored.

Well, that's really put a dampener on the day... I shall say Goodbye each day, in case each one is my last.

Morning Mick and All. Pleased you met up with people you knew on the way back on your bus trips.

Sorry to hear NannyJ of your SinL’s continued bad health. Diverticulitis although miserable can be dealt with, with a change of diet and sometimes antibiotics when the pain is bad. When you are in B’ham tomorrow any chance you could visit one of the Museums, then you would only be tempted by the Tea Shop and the Gift Shop? When I was there with the WI a year or two back I went to see the Find of gold artefacts (maybe from Shropshire) it was fascinating. The Museum of Jewellery is excellent too.

Mary it never rains but it pours. Your DGD has to be your first priority. I think you will have to postpone your lunch with your SinL.

Taking one of our older members to Rummykub today, she is so full of fun and sparky, what a gal.

Hope that Oldgaijin gets some positive answers at the Doctor’s today and that Gillybob has a much easier day for a change.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. It's just getting light and sounds windy. My cold is at the croaky voice stage but funny, I never lose my appetite so no fading away for me.
Sorry your DGD is sick. Perhaps she will lie on the couch and sleep Marydoll? Your DSiL will understand.
Should I call off my groups with a cold? I probably should.
Have a nice day everybody.

Good morning from Leicestershire. It is too dark to check the weather but it seems quiet.

Blood tests for both of us this morning.

So sorry to hear your SiL is in hospital again NannyJan I hope they sort him out soon.

That is a quandary Marydoll I hope you and your GD feel better soon.

Thanks Bellasnana. DGD is a chronic asthmatic and can be quite poorly at times, but she never complains.
I have never seen someone be sick so elegantly, as she did yesterday!
She saw the doctor on Friday, as her face was covered in an eczema rash, so she obviously has a flare up.
Also, she has an asthma plan and we have a stash of steroids at home, to try and settle things down, before they escalate.
We have moved on to the next stage of the plan so hopefully things will settle down.

Good Morning from windy but dry Fife. Felt a sore throat and another cold come on last night and yes it's here in full blast today. Cold no. 3 since December. Feel yuk. Sorry Marydoll about your DGD hope she feels a bit better today. Can't be easy for your SIL either, it will take a long time for her feel better my Uncle is a bit the same at the moment. I'm hoping to be able to carry on today meant to be seeing DD and DGS's but we shall see. Take care all.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. It is dry in South Yorkshire and is supposed to be a bright day. We are trying to think of somewhere to go walking that won’t involve acres of mud after all the rain we’ve had recently! It was shocking again yesterday evening. The drive home from DD’s was awful with the wipers working overtime and we still struggled to see the road. Have a good day all.

Morning Mick, morning All. Getting light in our corner of Somerset, rain spots on the window. I’m hoping the promised sun arrives later so we can get out, not sure where, see how we feel, energy needs rationing still. Hope Wednesday is kind to everyone.

Good morning from Malta where it is cloudy at present. I am frozen and doing my usual procrastinating about braving the shower. ?

Marydoll, so sorry to hear your DGD is poorly. Hope she will feel better soon. Has she been to the doctor? It is a pity you will have to cancel lunch with your SiL, but I’m sure she will understand, under the circumstances. Sorry she’s finding life a bit of a struggle. Even after four years I still have my bad days wishing DH was here, but it does get easier to cope with in time.

Hope all who are feeling under the weather will soon feel better, and that everyone has a good a day as possible.
