Good morning Wednesday 22 March 2023

Good morning everyone from a very wet Wiltshire, the rain pelted down during the night awakening me several times.
I hope Mick’s recovering well from his op.
Off to the hairdressers first thing then pick up my medication from the surgery on my way back and pay the paper bill too. Painter and patio man here today (I don’t envy the man doing the patio, it’s horrible out!), I will sort out stuff to take away on holiday at the weekend and do the ironing. I suspect we’re in for a wet week by the seaside but I honestly don’t care! Wellies and waterproofs then I can beachcomber happily. I’m really looking forward to a crab sandwich too!
DH says he’s off to town on the bus so he’ll be gone for several hours.
I hope you all have a good day x

Good morning from a damp looking Torbay. Hope Mick is feeling comfortable. Thanks for opening up, grandMattie, on what sounds like another busy day. Ideal catering arrangements, Kalu!

I hope the echocardiogram goes well, Mizuna. The hardest thing for me last week was having to undress and dress twice in quick succession for an ECG in one room before being taken to another for the echocardiogram!

My car has recovered! Both rear coil springs had broken but were replaced yesterday for £188, which was cheaper than I’d expected. As in many places, our road surfaces are in a poor state with several patches and potholes. Apparently, it’s possible that the salty air had also contributed to the corrosion of the covering. I suppose now it’s six years old, I should expect things to start failing. I’m glad it has happened here and not miles from home, particularly in France!

Our pub lunch was enjoyable and it made a change to relax with the Props team away from the demands of being in the theatre. I’m back there this afternoon for Wednesday Club for which we have to read out an extract from a favourite book. I’m pleased the regular leader is back from holiday so the responsibility for opening and locking up the complicated building, including dealing with the alarm, is no longer mine!

Happy hump day! 🦩💐🦩🥰🦩

Good morning from a very blustery Glasgow.

Hope all is going well for Mick

An early visit soon to M&S food hall as we are having a few friends coming for lunch. I have decided on a casual buffet type meal which will be catered for by M&S. Job done and I can relax and enjoy their company.

Hoping a good day is ahead for all.

Thanks for opening gM, and hope you're getting on ok Mick. It's windy and raining here in south Cornwall. On the bus to a pharmacy in a nearby town first thing where I'm booked in for an echocardiogram, then a visit to my favourite charity shop near there, where I'll have a cuppa and browse their 50p rail for more jeans to turn into something else, maybe with my ex daughter-in-law if she's up to it (she has M.E.).

This week lurches from busy to busier….
Every day brings extra stuff to deal with. ATM it is the solicitor with a mountain of things to read - 67 pages of legal stuff regarding purchasing a leasehold property and making important decisions on sub clause 36a, subsection 42f, anyone?
I’ve got an MOT this morning, going to my knit and natter group, then lunch with a friend. She is a retired nurse and was so very helpful during DH’s last days. Always enjoyable company.
I hope today brings contentment (and health improvements) for all in need. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩
