Old Style Daily Monday 24th September 2018

Good Morning, Oldstylers :hello: - we have a beautiful start to the day here on Merseyside! So clear that I can even see (through a gap between 2 buildings) Moel Arthur in Flint, North Wales!

Thanks for starting the thread, HollyHarvey - hope you manage to sort out a sports bra to fit before you go into hospital. Have you thought about having a 'keysafe' fitted outside your front door? I had one fixed (by my son) when I moved here - it just saves having 'spare keys' with various people.

ancientofdays - good to hear that the migraine monster has left you alone for now. I've only ever had ONE - way back in early teens, so possibly 'hormone related' - I felt so ill with it. Anybody who suffers from them regularly has my total sympathy and respect .

dumpling - hope Lee is OK this morning. I know how awful it can be when you need to 'faff around' with their meds to help them. My DGS has started to get a bit rebellious about taking his meds regularly and we had 'to have a bit of a chat' about it, last week when I was supervising him. ((((HUGS)))) for both you and Lee - IF he'll have one !

camelot1001 - sounds like you've had a fabulous weekend :j.

Nelski - hope all goes well with your 'course prepping'.

redruby - FINALLY wonderful news from AOL - roll-on Saturday :T.

silver-oldie - enjoy your trip out for lunch

LaineyT - What a horrible start to your day - hoping the plumber can get it all sorted and there's not too much disruption and damage done .

maddiemay - Caravan Hunting sounds exciting and I'm sure you're DH will love not having to sleep up against the wall any longer - and, just think, no more being disturbed when he has to get up to make you 'an early morning cuppa' :T !

~taff - hope all goes well at the hospital and best of luck with the gutter cleaning .

Thinking about Mr and Mrs TA and all others who aren't well and need our ((((HUGS)))) and prayers.


Our Garden Refuse collection has just been made - missed the last one 3wks ago :doh:, so it's been 6wks here . Just waiting for the Recycling Guys to arrive now.

Plans for today include a trip to the surgery - I'm due my 'Annual Review' with the Practice Nurse and my Flu Jab from the On-Site Pharmacist, who collared me last week when I collected my meds ............ he pounced as soon as he neard my name called .

Soup followed by Salad with Jacket Potato for evening meal here tonight. OH will have Tuna Mayo with his - not sure about me yet ..................... possibly Cheesey Coleslaw :j.

Oh well - onwards and upwards - brekkie beckons ! Have a lovely day, everybody :j.

Good morning, it's a fine chilly morning here.

I didn't get round to posting yesterday, and have just read through yesterday's postings.

So sorry TA about you DH. The hospice sounds lovely. I have no words really, but will be thinking of you all.

Yesterday we weren't out at all, the day was spent tidying, and storing summer clothes in vacuum bags, then putting them in the loft. I've just read someone posted yesterday that summer is coming back at the end of the week, grr, what will I wear!! Fortunately I did keep a couple of pairs of lightweight trousers out, and I don't store t shirts as I wear them under cardigans at this time of year.

We were out all day on Saturday, and had an excellent day at the Disc*very museum. Gers, you mentioned the Hancock , that's our next trip I think. When we had children, (well we've still got them but they're grown up!) we took them to these places, but haven't been for years, despite the fact that it's only a 10 - 15 min train ride away.
We live within reach of some lovely places, and have decided to revisit.. Like a lot of people we forget what's on our doorstep.

Olliebeak, I think you said your nearest beach is Southport, it's nice there isin't it, I like the town as well. One of my nephews lives there and we were there in the summer, on a caravan site, we had a great few days.

Reading back to yesterday, I see that quite a few people suffer from the "falling asleep in the chair, then wide awake half the night" syndrome, so do I. It's murder when your eyes spring open and it's only 2am. Like others, I then spend a couple of hours worying about all sorts of things that I can't do anything about anyway.

Lainey, hope you get your leak sorted out.

Today, I'm visiting a friend nearby, the doing a bit of shopping. Might get some washing out. That's it really.

Thinking of all who are poorly, and sad.

Take care folks.

Morning all
Chilly one here but clear skies I love autumn though its my favourite time of the year
Dolly & Kass have been walked and I am off to take DS to look at another bike fingers crossed this is the one as i am getting fed up of running round the county
TA thinking of you
Right got to go DS is calling
Have a great day whatever you are up to x

Good morning everyone, so lovely to read of your outing in the hospice gardens MrsTA. I agree, ask the hospice staff to have a word with any visitors who need reminding about visiting rules and why they are important.

Housework for the day is done, I hoovered before breakfast and had a blitz in the kitchen. There's a bit of tidying in the living room before one of the older residents in a nearby flat comes in for a cuppa and to meet my cat. There are a few cat lovers in this building, whose cats have died and mine is enjoying the extra adulation. The rule in these retirement flats is that you can bring an existing pet in with you, but can't have a replacement when they die. My cat's six, and therefore hopefully has a good many years ahead of her.

I'm doing some more prep for tomorrow's fundraiser this afternoon, and hope to fit in a swim too.

Lainey, I hope you have hot water again soon. Kettles are no substitute.

Csarina, that's looking promising with the new CA.

I've my gloves looked out, and have found my reading glasses which were missing yesterday. They were in my dressing gown pocket.

Wishing you the best day possible xxx
