Happy Birthday liberty 🥂🎂

gagagran so sorry to hear about your big brother. I hope he’s comfortable and not in any pain.

Good news Ash.

marydoll I hope the dreaded junction isn’t too difficult this morning and that your DH’s blood tests don’t show anything nasty.

Sorry to hear about your brother Gagagran 💐
Constant rain here in North Chadderton, Oldham.

A very happy birthday, Liberty 🥂🎂
Thoughts with those with health or family worries. Some better news for some of you, most heartening.
The sun is shining at the moment, but rain is forecast for lunchtime, just as my friend and I set off for lunch at our favourite pub. It won’t put us off.

Good morning from a bright Berkshire.
My DD drove us here from Cornwall yesterday and after a week of activities every day, I’m feeling tired. but make my way home to the north later this morning,

My sister has returned to London and DD gets back to flying tomorrow. I’ll need a rest, but we’ve had a marvellous time. My DD is a very good organiser.

Thoughts to Gagagran and her brother and congratulations Liberty

Cold and damp this morning but as I have a social day I don’t mind - oldies’ coffee morning and bridge this afternoon. Whatever happened to summer?

Have a lovely birthday Liberty. Enjoy your lunch today 🎉💐

Good morning everyone from south Manchester. I’m late on parade this morning. It’s wet and looks pretty overcast out. My friend who had to cancel coffee yesterday is meeting me in an hour. I suggested coming up to me rahther than Starbucks for a change but have warned her it’ll be Nescafé only! I’m looking forward to seeing her. Hardly anyone has been in the apartment in the past 3 years as often Himself was too poorly to contemplate friends calling in.

This afternoon I have session 7 of 10 of my bereavement counselling. I’m finding it helpful. I can share things with Ian rather than upsetting my girls with some of the more distressing details that I wish to unpack.

Tonight is a football presentation evening for our Boy Wonder’s second team (he plays for two). I’m meeting the family in the pub over the road at 6pm for one then we will stroll further along to the venue.

Now to read all your posts and hoping for some better news on several fronts. x

Good morning my friends it’s a very bright sunny day here on the east coast of Fife I’m feeling very warm I’m still in bed waiting for my carer to come and help me up. I’m hoping for lots of hugs tomorrow my family are coming to visit. Today I’ll have bacon and egg on a roll , with fresh orange juice
Have a good day keep safe 💐💐

Hi glammagran, thanks for enquiring about Auntiflo. Unfortunately she died about fifteen months ago but was a regular contributor until almost the end. She is sadly missed.

Bellasnana Fri 12-Jun-26 08:53:35

Happy 80th birthday Liberty🥳. I hope you enjoy celebrating.

So sad for you Gagagran, your poor brother.😢

Great news about your results Ashcombe, and yours too Susan56🤗

Grandmabatty how special to have a line of littlies wanting a cuddle! So sweet.

Sorry your hip is causing you misery glammagran and sorry you are worried about DH being able to help out. Thank you re my yard. I need the shade also to have a bit of privacy from the upstairs flats, not that anyone sits out on their balconies as it’s too hot!😂

It’s windier than I thought but a cool breeze is always welcome. Hair colour at 11.30 so I’m glad about that. The white is showing through too quickly these days!

Take care all. ☀️

Good morning everyone from a cloudy Northampton, fingers crossed it stays dry as I plan on hopping on the bus to the shops this morning.

Went with neighbour and friend as moral support yesterday to the talk on caring/living with someone with dementia; quite a few useful tips. Also I was curious to see inside the retirement village, where the talk was held. It is enormous, has every facility and residents have little need to ever venture outside. There is a gym, shops, hairdresser, sports facilities, restaurant and bar. It seems to be very popular; the headmistress of a school I taught in now lives there.

Thanks for the heads up about the Sainsbury's Tu sale Marydoll - I shall definitely pop in later.

A big rugby match tonight for my team; a semi-final against our greatest rivals Leicester Tigers. Sadly I can't be there, but will cheer them on as I watch it on tv from my chair. Come on you Saints!💚💛💚

Have a lovely big birthday Liberty! 🎂🍴💐

Good news Ashcombe 👍

Both the boys are in school, phew!

I am trying to work up the energy to go to the earlier (more difficult) gym class, if not I will go to my regular one. I made the 11yr old laugh when I told him we played dodge ball at the end…

Good morning from a currently dull and cloudy Wiltshire. It’s rained every day for 12 days, since the 1st of the month. And it’s been so cold.

A very quiet week with nothing at all to say really. My hip has been causing me a lot of problems. I’ve a clinic appointment regarding it next week. I need a TLHR which I turned down last year as I wasn’t ready, I am really stressing about what will happen. DH is 76 and something is not right with him at all. I’m not sure I can rely on him to help me much.

Thinking of current missing posters, I wondered if anyone has heard from AuntieFlo and TaichiNan.

I’m so sad to read about your DB Gaga. I hope the hospice provides him with peace and he is painfree.

Good news about your ECG Ash.

Your outdoor area looks very nice Bellas. You’ve done very well to make it shady.

Have a good day all.

Happy Birthday Liberty 🥂🍾🎂🎉

Potters is ideal for a family gathering of wide age range 👍🏻

cornergran Fri 12-Jun-26 08:39:47

Bally Birthday liberty.

That’s very good news ash. Slight envy here at the excellent level of follow up care you receive from cardiology. Mr C had a mitral valve repair and an artery replacement three years ago when he was 80. Just one follow up appointment since after 6 months. No echo, that was for the next appointment which should have been six months later. We’ve been told he was moved to a two year checkup and that clinic is running 142 weeks late. It’s so disappointing as surgery was both speedy and professional. Having said all that I’m very pleased your experience is better.

Georgesgran Fri 12-Jun-26 08:34:08

Good morning from a dull, windy Durham. Not a lot on today, but more phone calls to make - online chat isn’t possible. I’ll start packing for my holiday, we fly tomorrow lunchtime.

💐Gagagran I hope your DB is comfortable.
🎂Liberty
MD wishing you and DH a better day.

Best wishes to all. X

Good morning from a dull looking Essex coast. Whatever happened to summer !!
I've started to box up the contents of our lounge ready to have new carpet laid, will do more today.
Happy Birthday Liberty, enjoy your special day.
I'm sorry to hear of trials and tribulations of family members.
Best wishes to all xx

Grandmabatty Fri 12-Jun-26 08:32:08

Happy birthday Liberty🍾🥂

Lovely to hear that your mum had a good day yesterday NannyJan accepting the new cleaner and telling you about the day out.

Susan56 Fri 12-Jun-26 08:18:43

Good morning from Shropshire.Another dull and drizzly start.

A meeting with my diabetes nurse turned into a social occasion which was lovely.When I was ill last year all my major organs were affected and although I would say I am mainly recovered my pancreas still hasn’t got the message🙄I was so pleased to know my kidneys are at gold standard as they were the worst affected and my pancreas is doing way better than I thought😅

We will enjoy a quiet morning before collecting DGD and DGS2 from school.We are looking after them until Wednesday 🤪

Gagagran I am so sorry to hear about your brother.I hope your granddaughter feels better today.Thank goodness for grandpa’s.

Good news Ash🥳

Hope the day goes well Marydoll.

Thinking of our absent friends and wishing all with worries and struggles a better day.
