Morning again, it's a miserable looking morning here, daylight but damp and feels coldish. Yesterday was similar.Going out this morning to deliver some shopping to two old ladies we know who can't get out much, they are old friends so we'll stay for a chat with them.When we get home I've got a few jobs to do, then it'll be the quiz tonight. That's the plan anyway.Thoughts to our poorly and sad people, take care folks.12

Morning All
Thanks for the start Scarlet, enjoy your chat - lovely of you to help out friends.
Wet and miserable here too with a stiff breeze, hoping the children can get out to play as they get a little boisterous when kept inside! The behaviour from some children yesterday was absolutely awful, today can only be better.
Enjoy your tour Carolbee, sounds fab.
How annoying Nelski.
Pleased to hear your DM is a bit better Ruby, fingers crossed you don't catch it.
Your day on Sunday sounds perfect Poppy.
Hope your foot is better today dp1.
Right, off to the shower for me, hope you all have a good day, take care. XX12 -
Morning folks and thanks SCARLET. Another dullish start but still mild. I took recycling out yesterday and it felt warmer outside than in! I couldn't believe it.
I had a long phone chat with BFF yesterday and she sounds to be so accepting of the prognosis and was able to talk about it all. The only sign something was amiss was when she kept forgetting names/words but she just laughed it off. She said she is unsteady on her feet but was still hopeful of meeting our other DF and I for our Tuesday lunch meets but I'm a bit doubtful about that. But never say never where she is concerned. Meanwhile DF and I are meeting today so we will see what happens. We are finding it quieter week by week so it looks as though folk are cutting back as the prices seem to be going up every week.
I might manage a few little jobs before I go out if I put my mind to it! Have a good day folks if you can with ((HUGS)) for our poorlies, getting better or MIA. NELS grr to the taxi company that let you down. Take care all and be safe xx

Good morning folks.Raining. Again. Even though spring is officially here.My cleaner was due today but she's now coming on Thursday instead. I don't mind too much as she's juggling two or three jobs to keep her family going, besides I have nothing much planned.TA. - your BFF sounds so strong, she obviously appreciates her friends. I hope that she can join you again soon.Scarlet - enjoy your chats, you're so kind.Camelot - bad behaviour in schools is a constant struggle, I hope that things are better today.Nelski - is your meter cupboard fixed yet?
Bella - that year since your holiday has just whizzed by.Right, off to start my day. Happy Tuesday to all.10 -
Morning everyone off to work in a minute back in at lunchtime for my soup then straight to WW after work . It’s dry outside at the minute but I think it has to be showers all week . I need to print a label off for a parcel of course my printer won’t work this morning it will have to wait until tonight I haven’t got time to mess on this morning why is nothing ever simple. Thinking of all the poorlies hugs to those that need them have a good day everyone whatever you are doing11

Morning all
Drizzly here for now but meant to brighten up later, three people coming today and they want to go for a walk in a local park and feed the squirrels, if it turns out nice we can have lunch on the seafront and then a wander round the shops and get a cup of tea, funny enough it’s the chap coming today that likes shopping the ladies are not fussed.
Ive had a tidy through this morning and will run the hoover over before they come, I’ve also got some chaps coming to clean the gutters out today as there is a bird that comes to the gutter to eat the bugs every morning but he starts about 5.30 and the tapping is driving me mad ! I’m hoping that by cleaning then it will stop him coming.
Gnocchi for dinner tonight with a tomato and mascarpone sauce with garlic bread and salad, nice quick meal, dd will make the sauce this afternoon.
TA how sad to hear of your friends deterioration my thoughts are with her and you all xx
Have good days all and take care xxx11 -
Morning all, flying visit from me before we go off to Angels in London. It’s a fascinating tour of theatre and film costumes.
take care allCarolbee11 -
Morning all and thanks for the start @ScarletRibbons x I'm sure those folks appreciate your help.
Your friends sounds very stoic @TravellingAbuela - I hope you manage to meet up soon x
Enjoy lunch with your friend @iris x
So annoying about the taxi driver @Nelski - I'm so cross on your behalf!
I still have this pesky sore throat (10 days now) so I'll do an e-consult with the GP today. I'll be making a chilli con carne in the SC. DH will be back around 7 so can eat when he gets home.
Have a good day all

One of my oldest friends is coming to see me today. We started our nurse training back in the mid sixties and have always kept on touch. She is going to bring sandwiches for lunch as I am not up to going out.
will be lovely to have some company.
Hope you see your friend today TA11
