Good Morning Thursday 6th April 2023

Good morning from a currently bright & sunny Sefton although the bit of sky I can see is an ominous shade of grey.
Zumba class in the Parish hall this morning then a quick visit to the retail park..... with a quick detour into TKMaxx. Like Marydoll I can't resist. No plans for the rest of the day.
Hope your day goes as planned Mick. 3 buses - an awkward journey for you.
Now that the " interview" is over grandMattie sounds like it could be full steam ahead for your move 🤞.
Thoughts & ((hugs)) for those with worries & struggles. Wishing all a good day.

Good morning. Just a few more bits to load into the caravan and then we’ll be off to Derbyshire and will join DDs and families.
Big pot of Chilli ready to feed us all this evening and lemon cake for after.

Kind thoughts to all with worries and illnesses to deal with.
Safe journeys wished for travellers.

Morning all

Mick hope your hospitals appointment goes well and the buses are on time.
kitty o do hope your DD is feeling better soon. Sar53 hope you are resting and that you are on the mend X

It’s grey here and meant o be drizzling on and off all day. I will do a food shop today for Easter, not sure what our plans are though 🤣

Have a good day folks 🙋‍♀️🦩

Sending get well wishes to kitty's DD
May she feel better soon.
And to Baubles I hope it's nothing to worry about.

Good morning from a dank Essex. Where has that lovely sunshine gone?

Yesterday was very good with our adventure. Train journey, crazy golf and lunch out. DD managed well but we didn’t make it to the beach. She was very tired and achey by the time we got home. Eldest gd 20and youngest gd 7 ( sisters) love being together especially now, as they don’t see much of each other.

Bowls club today and then I’m going to buy little primulas (so pretty) instead of Easter eggs. The children have so many and we are doing a hunt at DS1’s tomorrow, so we all agreed ‘No big Eggs this year’. I’ll buy sunflower seeds as well. But….. what to get for the boys (almost 17). 🤔. .

Good luck with your travelling today Mick.
Enjoy your last cruise day LLLF. 🛳️.
Get well wishes for your Dd Kitty . These girls are such a worry, aren’t they! ❤️.

Take care all 🌷

A grey day in S Yorks.

Going for coffee and cake with a Quaker friend this morning. My lovely cleaner is coming too.

All the bests with the procedure Mick and continuing good wishes for DD, kittylester thank goodness she has her own room.

Take care now poorlies and enjoy meet ups and grandchildren all.

Greyish and dampish in my bit of North Somerset so not much chance of getting into the garden though lots of daffodils flowering and tulips ready to burst forth so it looks OK from the house.

Thinking of Mick and hoping his complex travel goes to plan; otherwise lots of plans being laid up and down the country for the weekend. I have to do a big shop for DD and co arrive tomorrow and there is a difference between catering for one old lady and three healthy adults.

Good morning Mick and all from a brightening northwest coast.
After six days of violent coughing, my sides are aching and it’s taken it out of me but will venture out today for some necessary things.
Cancelled so much this week, it’s a drag…
Hope your appointments work out well Mick, thoughts to Gingster and anyone with worries.

Good morning from North Yorkshire. Grey and damp today.
I had a call yesterday from the NHS appointment service to fix my macular degeneration appointment. The first time I can be seen is September. It was supposed to be 6 weeks…..My urgent dermatology appointment, arranged last October, is in June. I guess these are important but not urgent.
Today I am meeting former colleagues for lunch. I’ve not seen them since 2019 so we should have lots to catch up with.
Hope all the appointments, travels and grand parenting go well today. Have a good day.

Good morning everyone from a very damp Northampton. No need to go out today - no dance classes as our teacher is on holiday, so a gentle day at home. Perhaps I shall catch up on some jobs, perhaps not....

Popped down to Boots and Next yesterday morning, and had a coffee in M&S, where I bumped into a teaching colleague I hadn't seen since before Covid. We had a good chat and caught up on all the news about other colleagues.

While I was in M&S I had a text to say that they had my order, so I duly collected it - some shorts for my cruise in the summer. Not tried them on yet.

When I got home I rang the surgery, as I have been worried about a sore and inflamed eye that I have had for a week or so. Despite hot compresses and bathing, it has just got worse. To my surprise I was offered a face to face appointment for the afternoon. Jumped on the bus and off I went; saw the lovely doctor who looked after me when I was poorly during Covid, and she diagnosed an eye infection and prescribed an antibiotic ointment. She also sorted out another little problem. I made sure to thank her for the care she had shown me previously.

Thinking of those with worries and cares - may they be resolved before long.

Good morning from a very damp, grey Essex by the sea.

I'm still unwell, I haven't had a chest infection like this for about 10 years. I was diagnosed with Bronchiectasis back then and feel that this might be a flare up.

DH is going overnight on his friends boat so I have a couple of days to do nothing.

Thinking of all with worries and illness. Hopefully a peaceful Easter beckons. xx

Good morning Mick and everyone from sunny Carlisle where it is 8C currently. It rained all yesterday, quite heavily in the afternoon and evening. I think it's set fair for the Easter weekend....
I busied myself with housework and admin yesterday. Admin consisted of moving my savings around the bank, what a tedious process that was! Should be earning me more interest now though it won't be keeping up with inflation. I also booked a holiday for November. I had thought of going at the end of this month but decided abroad would be too hot and my garden would be nicer. Plus November is my most detested month weatherwise and best avoided.

Today, the ironing and then the garden, hopefully.

You should enjoy Budapest LLFL, an interesting and beautiful city. The wonderful Parliament building is spectacular from the river.

My very best wishes to your DD, kitty. I hope better times are coming soon for her.

And the best possible day to you all.

Good morning all from sunny Lancashire. Another lovely spring day. I’m struggling with my vision this morning, it may be a day indoors but I have plenty to keep me occupied.

I hope all goes well with your procedure today Mick.

Sounds like your move is on the cards GrandMattie, all hurdles jumped over and hoops crawled through.

Hope your daughters are feeling better soon Kitty and Gingster. My nephews used to love growing sunflowers and had quite a competition over whose grew the highest.

Enjoy your day out Marydoll, safe journey to all travelling.

Sending healing vibes your way Sar53.

Have the best day you can all 🌻🌻🌻

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire. Hope the appointment goes well Mick. As Wyllow says, it’s grey but at least it’s dry at the moment. If it had not been for DD “pocket dialling” me I would probably still be asleep! I slept very badly last night - read for most of it. Poetry group at the library yesterday was rather fun. I read some of my stuff which seemed to be well received. I don’t have a very large “body of work” yet though - just a large body that doesn’t do much work! They’re a very jolly group. I am going to do some gardening today if it stays dry.
Hope your DD feels better soon, Kitty.
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning from Durham. It’s grey, but not cold. DGS1 had an early morning - he’s used to it. We are going out soon, then I’ll take him home 4ish.
Good luck with your appointment Mick - what a trek though.
On the home straight now gM
Hoping the DDs improve Gingster and kitty - we’d swap places if we could?
Best wishes to all. X

Good morning from a grey W Kent. Off to supermarket this morning and gardener coming this afternoon. He was supposed to come this morning but one of his best clients who is 92 is moving away today and he wants to say goodbye. Successful trip round TKMax yesterday where I found a lovely grey striped top (better than it sounds) followed by tea and cakes.
Good luck with the travelling and appointment Mick
Glad all went well with the interview gM and best wishes to the poorly DDs and other struggling along.

Good morning all from Glasgow. Dry today with patches of blue sky.

DH has an appointment at the NV hospital this afternoon for 2 CT scans, throat and lungs. Hopefully, no change is the outcome. Hoping too your results are favourable Baubles.

Your DD will be more comfortable in a private room kitty and she continues to feel brighter today too.

Best wishes to all for a pleasant day and a better day for those with whatever worries they are dealing with.

Good morning from coastal West Sussex. After a dull start the sun has broken though. I am looking forward to some time in the garden and at the allotment.

We went with visiting DD and family (two DGS’s), plus eldest DGS (17), to the Historic Dockyard at Portsmouth. We all enjoyed seeing the Mary Rose again with additional features in the exhibition since we last visited. DSiL was disappointed that The Victory is encased in a protective wrap while undergoing restorative work and still hasn’t got its masts on but they all enjoyed The Warrior. My step count was over 11,000 🙂

Hope your Echocardiogram goes well and helps to progress your treatment Mick. And I hope the buses run to time. Those questioning why Mick has to pay the £2 fare, I think he explained before that it means he can set off earlier in the morning than his free bus pass would permit.

Kitty, I hope your DD feels better soon. Thoughts also with Gingster and DD.

Hope also for better health soon for Holly and Sar.

The sky is blue now so I must get out there 🌞

May I request your Nutella brownie recipe Gmattie, my grandkids would love those!! 👍😃

Good morning Auntyflo and all x
