Good Morning Monday 6th November 2023

Good morning Mick and everyone, too dark to see about the weather yet, hopefully it will be fine and dry.
2nd evening having a very scared and stressed dog, Another evening of MrOops and MissOops driving around until the worst is over, calming tablets were used but didn’t seem to help.
Let’s hope the fireworks are over, although there are so many displays cancelled due to the weather, that will be held later in the month, it could go on for some time yet.
Even the day after, she is very nervous and not her normal self, hopefully she will start to eat again soon.

Hope everyone has a good day.

GrandMattie good luck with the bathroom renovations. Baubles I could vaguely hear fireworks. One of the few benefits of being a bit deaf!

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 6° and dry. Glad to hear that you are putting weight on Mick. Good to hear that your DH is recovering too Ash.
Yesterday was quiet. I visited mum late afternoon but had to go a different route as the usual road was closed because of a bad accident. The alternative route was through Linlithgow and lots of twisty country roads. I'll not be doing that at night! Mum was fine. She was talking about going out for a Christmas meal. I just said she would have to be moving for that to happen. She has improved miraculously since a few weeks ago when it looked like she'd given up.
Today is early childcare day. I'll do the usual nursery runs and dgs2 and I will no doubt go out for a walk or two. Have a good day all.

Ugh, minzuna, I can think of few things I’d enjoy less than going down a mine!

Good morning from a dry Bristol. There was beating rain in the night.
Urms, ❤️I hope the journey didn’t wear Himself out too much and that you will have a happy and peaceful holiday. Maw, I’m glad you gathered some happy memories ofPaw. 🫂 Ash, praying that oldd is getting some relief from the invidious covid symptoms.🫂
D Day is upon me! The men are coming in a coupe of hours for three weeks of noise, work, improvements…. As there is nowhere to escape to, I hope their radio and banging won’t be too intrusive. The young plumber/contractor seems a very nice chap, so hope they’ll be ok.
I hope this new week is kind to you all. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from Cornwall where it will be raining mostly today and very mild. So much for not going to the fireworks last night... I gave my crutches a good old talking-to and went with my youngest son and his son. There were hundreds of people there, so many families. It was really lovely.

Yesterday my other son went exploring an abandoned tin mine, pic attached. It's supposed to be closed off but someone keeps opening the entrance.

Today my friend is coming to my allotment to collect my fallen sycamore tree for his woodburner. I'll also see if anything else fell in the recent storms.

Good morning Mick, morning all from damp South Lanarkshire.

Our local Facebook page was full of complaints over the last couple of days about the fireworks, the official display as well as local people having their own. I must have been very lucky over the years never to have had a dog that was bothered by them but it must be awful to try to soothe a frightened animal. Some of the bangs sounded as though they were directly outside our window.

Charity shop volunteering today, I have a couple of bags of donations to take with me.

Ash I hope your DH is feeling a little better.

Good wishes to all who are ill or coping with sadness or worries.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning from a dry but chilly Torbay.

Thank you for your concern for olddudders, who has finally managed a good night's sleep, I'm pleased to say, and has been brighter since yesterday evening. We took a short walk around the perimeter of the nearby park yesterday, with him wearing a mask. Being late afternoon, we encountered nobody at close quarters.

Today we both have appointments at the optician's but I shall cancel his and check if they’re happy to see me, as I’ve just taken a test which is negative. I’ve already withdrawn from today's exercise class out of consideration for the vulnerable participants in particular.

I’m glad you’re gaining weight, Mick. Good news!

Have a good week, everyone, especially Urmstongran and DH. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩
