Good morning from South Lanarkshire where there has been rain overnight.

Yesterday turned out to be busy. I spent four hours in the wool shop learning the ropes. It’s a lovely, social space where our yarn group meets weekly, other groups use it too. The customers were very pleasant and chatty, I think I will enjoy it.

The food stocks needed to be replenished after that followed by an appointment with the dental hygienist who is pleased with how my gum is healing.

DH is heading to DS’s this morning to collect him and the children, they will be staying with us for a few days.

Wishing you all a good day.

Good morning from Shropshire.Dry but very windy.

A good day yesterday.Actually completed my to do list in the morning and had a lovely afternoon with my friend.We laughed a lot!DH spent the day in the garden which is looking good.

Today we have the heating engineer coming back to replace a washer in the boiler then a drs appointment later.I am hoping the wind drops by tonight as DD1 and family are flying home from their holiday.Our penultimate day of dog minding.She is no trouble but we don’t like leaving her alone so haven’t been out together in over a week.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders where it's been raining and I slept in. I find I sleep better when it's raining.

Yoga this morning and then I have someone coming to collect a bed I advertised free. The charities don't want beds but people do.
I changed my mind about giving away an old desk as it sounded so lovely 😍 in my description, I shall keep it. 😂

My DGDs are on half term so will arrive at other DGP nearby today and I hope to have them here at some point.

I was going to be moving house tomorrow so it's a bit sad looking with a few empty rooms. 😕

Enjoy your weekend away gMattie and you have a happy holiday BlueSapphire

Best wishes for everyone who is unwell or sad today.

Good morning from a mild dry Co Armagh
Got back from Donegal last night , so enjoyed the lovely scenery and the warm hospitality
Daughter and Granddaughters are away for the ferry now it was great to have their company
Driving home yesterday , a little puppy pranced out in front of us , we pulled in , daughters grabbed our dogs lead and managed to catch the puppy , she rang the number on the collar , eventually someone answered and puppy restored to a tearful girl and her very cross Mother !
A few minutes later a lady from our accommodation txt to say grandaughters Art folder was found in the bedroom , we had to drive back for it ! Added an hour and a half
to our journey !
Eventually we reached our house , all had a welcome nights sleep and equilibrium is restored
I won’t see them again till next spring
Thinking of our poorly and missing posters xxx

Nothing planned for today though there are various unattractive options like cleaning the inside of the windows. Think I shall just indulge myself and read all day instead of doing anything useful and hope some motivation returns.

Good morning all, it's 9°C, with showers forecast. I am still in bed, still feeling unwell and worn out with DH's behaviour.

Yesterday was extremely stressful. DS wanted us to have a day out with him and Babydoll and I explained that both DH and I were unwell.
He then planned to visit, but I said we would come to his home on the way to the surgery.
We got halfway there, when we discovered the main road was closed. DH got flustered, when I said he would need to go on the bypass, which he has never used before. It is a very fast and congested road, which I avoid like the plague.
Despite giving him very clear instructions, he turned into an industrial estate. Of course it was all my fault. 🤬
By the time I got to DS' home, I felt so unwell.

To my great surprise, DH and Babydoll came to the door, covered in flour ; they were baking raspberry and chocolate brownies.
DS, who never cooked at home has become so domesticated.🥰
To my delight, Babydoll was crafting with my discarded stash. I had been glad to get rid of it. I could not believe her cutting skills for a 3yr old.

Two doctors looked at DH and could not diagnose what is wrong, His whole body, apart from his face is covered in the fiery rash..
He had to be covered in lotion from head to toe last night and of course, needed a friend to help him, He hasn't got many friends, so I had to step in.🤣
He is also on a high dose antihistamines.
One of the GPs, who was summoned to examine him, was the nippy one, I saw on Monday.
She was very pleasant to him!! 🤬

This was DH's chance to ask about his cardiology scans (she was the GP, who organised them), he didn't ask. I was so angry with him.
When I asked him, what treatment plan, he had to follow, he couldn't remember half of what he was told. He was back to being confused and anxious.
I actually considered walking away and leaving him to deal with it himself. He would soon know, how much he needs me,

As we approached the pharmacy, just before closing, I was tempted by the smell emanating from the chip shop next door.
It was nearly 6pm and I was not up for making salmon en croute. Ash , I am going to look up your salmon dish.
I told DH, I was exhausted and unwell and wasn't prepared to cook.
But what about the salmon? said he.
Then he tried to tell me, what to order!.
We have a saying here, which I am always saying to my lovely SIL.
You are on a shoogly peg. 😉

I plan to do little today.
I have received an early morning missive from my stalker, which I am ignoring. She never gives up.

Have a lovely time with your daughter GM.

Baubles, I am glad you enjoyed your volunteering day.
It will be good for you to spend time with your family. ♥️

Have a pleasant day, folks.
