Good Morning Monday 18th December 2023

Good morning Mick and all from a dull 11° C northwest coast.
I’m due to go into the city soon to meet up with old friend, lunch and exhibition but feel off colour. My war wound stomach making its presence felt. I went to bed around 9 last night but feel no better. I’m reluctant to cancel as I cancelled last time and I have a Christmas gift for him. Will struggle on but come home early.
I feel for you farview having gone through the same with my DH💐
Thoughts to all with worries 🎄🌺

Well done Marydoll! Good to see you're back.

Good morning from Glasgow. Fairy lights at least add some cheer to this awful dreich weather, raining and dull again.

The new kitchen dining chairs arrived ready to assemble, a few screws and job done. DH made a rare visit to the kitchen for a look at the finished result, a wink and a thumbs up was his seal of approval.

A day of this and that indoors but I may wrap up later for a look around the garden for some fresh air.

Enjoy your well deserved long lies Grandmabatty, although you may waken at your usual early morning, you have the choice whether to jump out of bed or not.
Sorry to hear you had another bad night Grammaretto. I hope your cold clears up quickly and the pain in your legs abate to allow you a much needed decent sleep. Enjoy your lunch.
You really are having such a tough time of it Marydoll. My best wishes that things calm down enough for you to notice an improvement. Look after yourself. 💐

Safe travels Ash and Brook

Hopefully a good day is ahead for all and a less troubled day for those going through difficult times.

Good morning Mick and all from cloudy Lancashire, currently 12°C and drizzling.

Today I need to get on with the chores. No other plans. Hope all those suffering ill health at the moment have some relief, you are in my thoughts.

Happy Monday to all 🌻

Safe travels Ash and olddudders.

Marydoll hope the antibiotics work quickly and you feel better for Christmas. A bit of a dreich day here in Stirlingshire although not too cold. It is my birthday today and as a present my Ds and Ddil have given us the two granddaughters for three days while they go to London with another couple isn’t that kind of them 🤣. At least they are at school during the day. It is a silly time of the year to have a birthday anyway, all the excitement for the year over in one week! Taking them out for pizza or pasta and ice cream at an Italian cafe in Causewayhead tonight an easy dinner!

Glad to see you’ve managed to speak to your GP, Marydoll hope you feel better soon. Safe travels to those on the move and hope all poorlies feel better soon.
Our local Young Farmers organised a tractor run yesterday evening. It travelled through half a dozen villages, starting in our small town. 70+ illuminated farm vehicles!! It was an awesome sight.

Happy Birthday, Scapal 🎂

Happy birthday, Scalpal, enjoy your day! 🎂🎈🎉

Scapa a very happy birthday to you! Would that begin with a C by any chance? Although the last time I passed, the name had changed. Have they changed hands?

Thanks Kalu for noticing my moaning post. My cold has gone, my eyes can see it's just the aching legs troubling this old crock.☹️

Marydoll, hope your antibiotic works extra fast and you feel better very soon.

Grammaretto, I hope you can maybe get something from your GP for the pain that is stopping you sleeping.
