Good Morning Tuesday 18th June 2024

Good morning from the Essex coast. It's dry but cloudy.
DH had his diabetic eye check yesterday but was told he needs to see an optician as his eyes have deteriorated quite a lot. Appointment on Thursday.
He also received news that he is to have his leg operation next Wednesday. Great news as he will be able to walk so much better.
Ironing, admin and housework today.
Sending healing vibes to the poorly.
Have a great Tuesday and may the sun shine for you xx

Good morning from another sunny Suffolk after a glorious day yesterday.

The beach cafe was very busy yesterday with people mainly our age. I think this time of year this coastal strip is a very popular holiday spot with people who want to avoid the school holidays when it feels overrun with young families.

There is a large pile of ironing facing me in one of the spare bedrooms which I feel I should tackle today but we’ll see!

Hope today is a sunny one for all.

Good morning from a bright sunny Cambridgeshire. Today I have my haircut and colour, do I go shorter for the summer or just a tidy up keeping it longer I am sure my hairdresser will advise he normally takes control. Will call at the big M & S for a browse and lunch after and then home to my garden so much to do out there.

It is my daughter’s 19th wedding anniversary today where have those years gone. Her life has been challenged by long covid but she is getting her health back slowly. So sad to hear on other posts so many of our AC are struggling and send my best wishes to all.

Summer seems to have arrived here at last. Have a good day everyone 💐

Good morning all and it’s dull here in Essex. Yesterday was very warm and we got quite a bit of gardening done. I bought bark and it was such a huge bag , we couldn’t lift it between us. No1 son came and threw it on his shoulder as if it was a feather. . We only have a tiny garden, why have I bought this amount????.

Today I’ll buy a few little treats for gd1 and send them off to her. Hopefully make her feel a little better. ❤️.
Thank you so much for all your kind thoughts for her and Dd.

Poor Oops you have a lot to deal with at the moment. Life can be hard at times, but as you say , you’ll get through it ! Hopefully things will start to improve soon. 💐.

Bridge club this afternoon and maybe this evening, if my brain is still working. 😉.

Sheep in the gardens 😳 Pants , that’s different!
Roseandlilac , 🏡. You’ll soon be enjoying the summerhouse.
Not long to go now Mizuna.👍.

Take care all and I hope the day goes well . 🌸

Good morning all from a sunny Black country, more washing in the machine making the most of the sun.
Today I need to contact the eye hospital regarding my referral, I received a letter stating if nothing heard by today to get it touch.
Thoughts with missing posters, virtual hugs where needed.
Enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️.

Good morning all from Glasgow, where it is 12°C, with showers forecast.

A disturbed night means I'm late to the party. Dreaming that I Alzheimers 😱 and pain have left me very discombobulated.
I was supposed to go to a school event today, but I shall need to play it by ear.

My best best wishes for all the poorly adult children and those, who care for them

Have a good day folks.

Cloudless sky this morning so it augurs well for my friend’s coffee morning for the local hospice at which I am helping. With this and selling her cards she raises well over £1000 each year and has done for the last decade. I am full of admiration.

Thinking of Oops and Gingster and their DDs and hoping that today sees some improvement for them. So awful seeing one’s child unwell whatever their age.

Good morning everyone from a very bright and sunny 🌞 Northampton, a lovely day forecast.

Yoga went well yesterday apart from the usual problems of getting up and down from my mat, which is due to my arthritic knee. The injured knee was fine.
Sat outside for coffee when I got back and read the newspaper.

After lunch continued with the lawn edging, had to stop before I'd finished it all due to back ache, so may well tackle the last bit today.

Will get the kitchen floor washed this morning, coffee outside again, then after lunch join my walking group. Then call in at the paper shop on the way home to pay my bill. And then hopefully sit in the garden and finish my book.

Sorry to read of so many poorly folks this morning; wishing all may see better health soon.

Happy sunshiny day, everyone!

Good morning from a dry NE for the present, forecast is for a pavement cracking 13 degrees 🙄

Yesterday was laundry day, four loads washed, dried and ironed. Today will be a quiet day with my book.
Thoughts are with AC who are unwell.
Have the best day you can.

Good morning everyone, I’ve slept in today I’ve a funny tummy too.
The suns shining magnificently this morning on the east coast of Fife.
I’ll just lie low today as my twin sister is going out for lunch and I’ll have the house all to myself so I’ll just keep watching the new Bridgerton I love it.

Have a good day my friends, however get the sun cream on. Keep safe.

Good morning Mick and all from sunny Ibiza. We leave today so our last (good) breakfast. I had a day off as it were yesterday, after spraining my back, I just rested whilst others went to the beach etc. Enjoyed the evening meal and a stroll along the front, so pretty and an ideal temperature.

We have a civilised flight timing wise so hope that works out.
DD has an ear infection which needs attention when we return.
Thoughts to all poorlies 🌺

Good Morning from an overcast Co Armagh
I had the patio door open to the garden yesterday , I usually have it open permanently at this time of year , to keep out birds and flies I put up a walk through net curtain set , but I haven’t got round to it this year , so last night a wee fly was driving me to despair !
Why did it want to sit on my arm , my knee but worst of all in my hair ! I couldn’t manage to get rid of it , any tips ?
Have as good a day as possible x

Good morning from a sunny and lovely East Midlands. Thank you to everyone yesterday for the warm kind words. Big pants on today and already been for along walk and plan to join a knit and natter group today for the first time. Finished another dog blanket for Battersea last night and just have to sew it up and send it. Life is getting back on tracks after falling off the rails a bit lately.

Dull and grey with thunder storms forecast from 11am here in Co Durham.
Just home from hairdressers, I’ve had a cut and trim. It’s sure to rain at school picking up time.
Thought with all poorlies and those caring for them. Also thinking of our missing friends. Come back soon.

Good morning Mick and everyone from cloudy Lancashire.

I’m feeling sorry for myself, it’s freezing cold, it hurts to eat and move my head and there are things I need to be getting on with but can’t. It will pass, I just get fed up with waiting.

Anyway, here is a photo of Loch Awe that I took 10 years ago from Kilmun Farm (not near the village of the same name on Holy Loch).

Have the best day you can 🌷

Good morning from coastal West Sussex. It is cloudy but warm here today. I am sipping coffee and recovering from the re-survey for a heat pump, as we asked if the water tank could go in the garage rather than our very useful walk in cupboard upstairs. A different person from last time and she remeasured outside where the pump would go which has made us reconsider the practicality of putting a pump in our very small back garden. Too many decisions - my head hurts 😱

I was very embarrassed by the amount of clutter everywhere in house and garden so have resolved yet again …

Well done, Purplepixie, - it’s the hardest thing to motivate yourself (myself!) when you are down. Hope you enjoy the Knit & Natter.

Allotment and gardening today while it’s not too hot.

Hope MissOops and Gingster’sDD and DGD feel better soon. Happy Anniversary to your DD, GrannyIvy. Good to hear of (gradual) return to health with long covid.
Marydoll, hope you feel better as the day goes on, and maybe enjoy a siesta to catch up on sleep.

Thinking of the many others, not named, with challenges. Hope there is some sunshine in everyone’s day 🌤️

Good morning everyone from a warm mid Essex, hazy sunshine now, very pleasant. I’m shattered as I had to get up early because the painter came to start decorating two bedrooms, followed closely by the carpet fitter with lots of samples for me to choose from. I missed my morning walk in the local recreation ground so didn’t see any of my dog walking friends. I don’t have a dog now, but enjoy meeting up with the dogs and owners. Thoughts to those who have health (& other) worries at the moment.
