Good morning, it's dry here. A bit grey, but not cold.
No plans for today except the usual household jobs.
Hope everyone has as good a day as they can.
Thinking of Dp1 and her family, hope her dg d starts to improve and responding to treatment. Poor souls they must be exhausted.
Also, thoughts to anyone else who is poorly or sad.
Take care folks.

Morning folks and thanks SCARLET. It's a dull grey start here too and some light rain forecast for later. Still warm so I suppose that will have to do!
I enjoyed our day out yesterday. Skipton seemed busier than normal so I think the coach tours must have been out in force. We still managed to nab our favourite table for lunch though and managed to grab a few bargains afterwards.
A few jobs to do when I get off my arris and then want to do a bit of shopping for some fresh f & v to take to the van on Saturday. I might take Dolly Trolley with me for a rare outing as I can't carry heavy bags.
Thoughts as always are with DP1, her DD and DGD. Such a worrying time for them all. I hope today brings better news. ((HUGS)) for anyone else in need. Take care all, be safe xx

Yesterday was unexpectedly rainy - I’m sure it wasn’t forecast!Anyway, I managed to mend a raised bed in between the downpours though, as usual, it’s created another job!DF made huge progress after a follow up chat with the hospital and physios (basically telling him to do the things I’d been suggesting (drink more, move more etc)) of course he’ll take more notice of them. 😂😂.More of the same today plus some old family friends visiting.
Thoughts with all our unwell people but especially DP1, little one and her DD.AA12 -
Morning all. Thanks for the start @Scarlet, the weather is very grey here too, no hope of a sunny day I think.Yesterday I did my frugal shopping and took away a bag of soft plastics. Once at home I had to open a new packet of toilet rolls so that was plastic in the bag immediately, I irritated myself. 😅 I do that in so many ways.Today is an open book. Eggs for breakfast then soup and a sandwich for later.Lots of thoughts to our poorlies- DP1's DGD and Nan and all others with poorlie family members.11

Hi everyone,
I've got my mammogram this morning, I've never found them particularly painful as I know some people do. Just another thing to do. I also got a letter asking me to ring to make my follow up colonoscopy but when I did was told they didn't have any appointments, seems a bit strange.
Steve is probably going over to C and C's today, I'd go as well but we can't leave Ziggypup for so long. I'll crack on with tidying the kids' books and also my storage cupboard - all the plastic spills out across the kitchen. I also want to make a loaf, I've not made one for ages but I want to see if I can make one that Esben will enjoy for his packed lunches.
Dp1, hoping for a better day today.

Good morning all
Thank you for the start @ScarletRibbons
It's raining, should be going on walk and talk this morning, keeping an eye on the weather before I decide if to go.
Hope today will bring you better news DP1 her DD and little one. Thinking of you, hugs.If you walk at night no-one will see you cry.12 -
Morning all
Raining here and set in for the day, it’s a shame as it’s DD’s best friends wedding today, I’m sure they will enjoy the day regardless.
I am off to collect Rob today and take him to work he was fine yesterday with no sign of an upset tummy at all.
Dinner tonight will be the rest of the chicken from last night with either chips or mash and salad. I have put a wash on this morning but it will have to stay on the airer.
DP1 I am thinking of you all and hoping for better news today, come on Little one so many old style aunties are wishing you well xxx
Have good days all and take care xx11 -
Morning All
Thanks for the start Scarlet, it's very overcast here and looks like rain at any moment.
Good day yesterday with the little one, we were swimming in the afternoon, I spent most of the time looking for her as she was under water! She asks to listen to the Greatest Showman CD in the car all the time and is now word perfect whilst I have a constant ear worm with one of the songs! We called at the allotment to pick peas and she ate loads, hope she doesn't get a sore tummy.
DD got her new van yesterday, now to get everything in it and the tent box back on top before they go on some adventures. I have to admit I love driving a van and felt quite envious.
I had to rush home to take neighbour's dog out as they are on holiday and their DD was at work. It was nice to have a good walk even though the little dog stops at every blade of grass.
Hoping to hear some good news today dp1, at least the little one is sleeping and hopefully healing. Hugs to you all.
Good to hear your DF is doing well Allie.
Glad you had a good day out TA.
Little one again today, not sure what we'll be doing, may not make it to the park if it rains too badly. I'll do a bit of shopping once I've picked her up.
Hope you all have a good day, take care. XX11 -
Morning everyone
Thank you all again for all your support and crossed fingers - I haven't heard from DD this morning yet....it's usually a bit later before they see a doctor. I'll pop back on once I hear something.
The stress is at least making me get some jobs done - I attacked the weeds between the paving stones both front and back yesterday. I have a pile of ironing, the washing I brought up from DD's house, to do this morning and then I'll go down to see mam and dad.
I was speaking to DD in Germany last night - she was grumbling because she has to go on a 'team building' day in a forest today - they're there until10pm - so they 'can experience darkness!' She said she pointed out to her boss that she had spent her early years in the countryside without street lights so she knows what darkness is.
Camelot your little one must be an excellent swimmer. Little one has been having lessons, but she doesn't have much confidence in the water and is convinced she will drown - even in shallow water! In September she will go once a week with school so DD has cancelled the other, quite expensive, lessons.
Hope everyone has a good day x10 -
Hello all, Dad was pretty good yesterday and we found him a new fridge freezer which we've ordered. Sadly he's not "with it" iyswim, I don't know if he will ever be anymore. He gave me his small shopping list which I'll add on to our online one later.
This morning Mr Fix It has a date with the vampire nurse and we'll probably go on to a garden centre somewhere in the country, they have a lovely farm shop to browse in. We're back to rain again this morning, think we've had our summer.
dp1 fingers crossed for good news today.
TA have a great time over the van this weekend.
Take care all. Hugs to everyone in need.
nan xxFailure is simply the opportunity to begin again, but this time more intelligently10
