Good morning, Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire where it is, of course, dark at the moment. I’ve been awake for a while.

I had lunch with DD after my Thursdsy walk yesterday and then brought GS back with me for an overnight (his idea). We called at Morrisons and did a (very expensive🙄) shop for dinner, then he set to and cut and trimmed the back lawn, and cut the long hedge while I swept up. We just managed to get finished before the rain came on. He’s off back to uni on Monday so I’m making hay while the sun shines! We cooked our evening meal together and then settled down to watch a film. I have to get him up early as he’s playing golf with his dad later this morning, and I have an electrician coming in at eight to put some new led lighting in my garage. Another long overdue job.

Today will be mostly preparing for visitors who are coming tomorrow.

Have the best day you can, folks.

Good morning from a dry Bristol. Although we have had a few showers, we haven’t really had much rain, but that’s been enough for the grass to green up again.
Yesterday’s meeting was interesting, fairly helpful until a few residents started to bang on about how wonderful the last permanent resident manager was. (She was an old fashioned care-type) but the employment criteria have changed. The manager is allowed to do anything outside office hours only for fire or flood, otherwise the residents are on their own. Try getting that into their thick skulls. The constant harping about the past drove me away after 2 1/2 talking.
In the afternoon, I had planned a careful bus timetable to go from A to B to C. Bummer, I realised half way that I had left my sunglasses to be adjusted, at home. Ah well, the rest worked out ok.
At DD’s, I had promised a takeaway of “Eat a Pitta” which meant that no cooking was required. Iris was planning a cake order. Her acquaintances/neighbours pay her for celebration cakes. She’s doing well with that and her cat sitting next door.
They have found out that her NFM2 has caused mild scoliosis atm and a twisting of her spine so the poor girl is in constant pain. A full body brace will be made for her in the not too distant future, to be worn for minimum of 22 hours a day. What a problematic condition. At least, she isn’t disfigured like the Elephant Man whose condition she shares.
Today, sewing this morning and a First Aid course for the FAB cafe in the afternoon.
All the best to one and all. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good Morning from a very warm New York. Just gone 12.30am on the 25th Anniversary of 9/11, one of those events where we remember exactly where we were and what we were doing back then.

Best wishes to all. X

And the world changed forever, Georgesgran. A sad day to be in the Big Apple.
