Good Morning Friday 30th August 2024

Good morning from a bright W Kent. A little adventure today to take some model railway carriages to be sold, part of the clearing out exercise. I am hoping to combine this with a visit to Sissinghurst, we shall see. A good catch up yesterday with a friend from my art group.
Glad the jab went well Ash and DD is home Kitty. Marydoll Hope you get your adventure
Best wishes

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders where it is cool but dry.
Yesterday stayed warm and sunny.

It was lovely to see Stilllearning again but we were so busy talking she only just caught her bus home. The buses are rare on that route.

Today I have my volunteer shift in the morning and a vaccination this afternoon.

I hope your injection makes a big improvement Ash. I have heard good reports.

I would hope to hear from Urms too. Wishing her well.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning from another sunny Suffolk. We are back with WiFi and it’s surprising how much we’ve come to rely on it. Our very helpful IT hero spend over 2 hours getting it back to normal and ensuring all our devices including my Kindle were logged on.

I’m off to the hairdressers later this morning where I’ll get all the local gossip,given in the friendliest way and then DH will meet me for lunch in our favourite pub in the town.

A friend has just started a walking group and I love the name…..Ambling Arthritics! Such a name won’t put anyone off joining apart,perhaps, from the younger and fitter amongst us.

Hope today is a good one for all.

Fingers crossed Marydoll.
I’m at the ‘end of my rope’ as the saying goes with Sky! X

Good morning everyone from Inverness where we’ve light grey cloud and the sun is due out later
Pleased to hear the knee injection went well Ash hope it lasts for you
Today I’m meeting my pal for a coffee and a catch up, we’ve both been away so we’ll be looking at each others holiday photos.
Good to hear your DD is back home Kitty hope she’s much better soon
Enjoy the family time together Bellas
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning,

It’s a beautiful morning here, with a lovely blue sky and sunshine. I doubt it will remain cloudless for long, but I’m enjoying it whilst it lasts.

I’m glad the injection went well, Ash, and hope it will give you plenty of relief from pain.

A few things to do this morning, but a lazy afternoon, I think.

Morning all from West Oxfordshire. It feels warm,

I am off to Oxford later. I have a long shopping list for things like a new bathroom mirror, black trousers etc., etc. I hope OH will cut the lawns when I’m out. He had injections in both knees yesterday and felt the difference fairly soon.

Have a good day everyone, especially those of you with difficulties.

Good morning all and it’s another bright and sunny one. Not too hot (I hope). 🤞.

Yesterday Dd, DGD and I went shopping for school cardigans, none to be had so ordered from M and S online.
After food shopping we came back here and DGD found my Quilling box and immediately wanted to learn how to do it. Dd remembered me teaching her and made a lovely card. DGD picked it up fairly quickly after a few frustrating attempts and raised voices ( I CANT DO IT)but she won’t give up with anything and eventually mastered the technique. I can see everyone receiving quilled Christmas cards this year.

Kitty I’m so pleased your Dd is now home. She will feel better now and hopefully gradually recover 🙏.

Harrigan glad you’ve got an appointment to see the doc.

Mizuna I love your patio.

Ash take it easy in your knee for a few days.

We are meeting our Friday friends at lunchtime so will catchup with all their news from the past couple of weeks.

Have a good day 🌻

Good morning all from a sunny Black country.
Shopping today didn't do it yesterday and cupboards are looking a bit bare.
Tablet needs charging so will read the 32 posts before this later, enjoy your day whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️.

First quilling attempt

Gingster love the quilling
Kitty so pleased to hear your daughter is home and hope all goes well
Ash hope knee injection helps

Glorious morning and a lovely day forecast, so oldies’ coffee morning and a potter in the garden beckon. Yesterday didn’t go to plan as my elderly filter coffee maker blew the electrics in the entire house. My lovely electrician responded to my cry for help and sorted it out but didn’t know why the blow out was so total and is back next week to check everything. Suspect the board will need replacing but we will see. My neighbour took pity on me and gave me lunch, which was very kind. New coffee maker being delivered later today. There is always a surprise!

Good morning Mick and everyone from sunny Carlisle. For once, it may stay that way! Pity you don't live in the North Mick, we're not short of cool weather here to keep you comfortable.
Yesterday I started making a slow recovery from my infection but sadly felt I had to cancel my weekend away. Fortunately, I was able to get my rail tickets refunded.
This morning I am shortly out. I need some fresh veggies and I shall visit the garden centre for bulbs. I shall have to restrain myself, I have a passion for tulips and am likely to overindulge but my modest garden is already pretty full. Most of all, I just must get out, I have cabin fever and hate being confined indoors unable to do much.

I shall read all your posts later, do have a good day all of you.

Morning from sunny S Hants, my back exercises, done before I get up, are making a difference. I had an ocular migraine last night, first one for about three years and woke at 4:30 with a headache, slept it off, but feel a little washed out. Tesco delivery, cloakroom cleaning and ignoring the smeary patio door today.
Glad your daughter is home kitty, wondering about Urms too.

Good morning all the weather outside looks bright and breezy here on the east coast of Fife

I’m a little later today but thankfully I’m sleeping much better.
I’m off to the dentist this afternoon followed by buying flowers for my friend who stays near to the dentist.
My new PA carer is going to cut my grass for me today he’s also going to peal my lovely big fat juicy oranges as I’m unable to do that having had the stroke 5 yrs ago causing my left hand and arm to be disabling.

Have a good day my friends and keep safe

Good morning from West Sussex. The sun is shining and another warm day is forecast. It has been pleasant warmth here, not too hot. Yesterday I had my first walk beyond the house and garden since my head injury. We went to a local nature reserve and picked blackberries. It was lovely with plenty of wildflowers still blooming and berries and golden leaves giving an early autumn glow.

I have spent most of my days recently doing gentle sorting of ‘stuff’ and decluttering. I am putting notes and labels on things to say what they are and, with most things, that they can just be dumped in the event of my death or incapacity. You can tell that my fall made me take my mortality more seriously 🫤.

Glad to hear your DD is home kitty. I hope the antibiotics kick in soon and she feels better.

EkwaNimitee, what a shame you had to cancel your weekend. I hope you feel better soon.

A roofer is coming today to see if he can spot what caused a leak through the living room ceiling a few weeks ago, after torrential rain. No sign of anything since but winter is coming!

Thinking of Kalu and others bereaved or suffering 🌺

Thinking of Kalu too and also hoping Urms is doing ok.
NannyG4 hoping you have some sunshine today.

Mizuna, your garden is lovely, looks mysterious and a little exotic! I could find a little nook there and stay all day!
