Hello all

hope you are all having a good weekend

thanks for the Easter card Pauline

I've turned Ami out in the field for a couple of hours a day, she went out Friday morning, I had to shut my eyes as she went galloping across the field.

Best wishes to Marilyn

Hi Mo
Sorry was absent this morning. Been out to a Country Fair. It was good but oh so cold. Out at Thame near Oxford. Stayed about 3 hours lots of walking. But got chilled to the bone so came home and had oxtail soup and a nice cup of tea.
Been thinking of Marilyn, Pauline(thanks for the card) Jean and yourself Mo, through the day. We are a poorly lot. Too many on-going illnesses on our thread.

Hope everyone had a good day.
No easter eggs in this house. Got hubby a DVD of Keith Floyd cooking around the Med. So not even any to share. Haven't missed the choc to be fair. What you aint got you don't miss.

Linda xxx <3 <3 <3

Oh good grief, where is everyone today.
Marilyn will be disappointed that there is no news from us. Hope you all haven't over eaten on your Easter eggs, and are now sitting on the chair feeling yukky.
I have been good, and only had a nibble at mine... and put the bit thats left in the fridge ;-) ;-) ;-)
Will pop back later to see if Marilyn has felt up to posting today. Get well soon hunny. xxx

Thank you all for you get well wishes I miss you all ,, Hoping I'll be back soon to give you all more news...

Lots of Love ...Marilyn XXXXXX ............. Shelly needs all of these XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Afternoon Friendlies :-) Just leaving a gentle hug here for Marilyn and wishing her better <3

Good afternoon everyone...Dermot and his red setter, and all.

Pauline thank you for keeping us updated about Marilyn. Poor girl has been in hospital for some time now hasn't she, bless her.
As soon as she is feeling better, she will start to post knowing our Marilyn. It must be very hard for her OH not knowing for sure what the problem is.
I am sorry to hear that your back is still not right Pauline. How did it happen originally I can't seem to remember?
If the injections help then it is definately worth having them. It must be worse for you, than having a nagging toothache.

Linda, what colours have you chosen for the bathroom tiles? I bet it is looking really grand, and once the grouting is finished you will be over the moon.
You will have to put a dish out for the pennies after anyone uses the bathroom. lol

Hi Huia and Liz, I did notice that you had popped in, good to see you both.

Off to start cooking the dinner now, we are having a nice chinese meal tonight, not the take away kind I might add.

On my regular 4 mile stroll, I usually meet about a dozen or so walking to the shops, etc.

A rough summary:-

20% will acknowledge my 'good morning' greeting in a similar fashion.
20% will look at me & say nothing.
60% will ignore me & look the other way or even cross the road before they reach me.

On the occasional day I take along my Irish Setter for his exercise, there is a great change. 60% will speak to the dog & ignore me.

The remaining 40% will also make a great play for the animal but back-off fairly quickly as he likes to lick everyone. And his tongue finds its way into some strange places as he lounges around the garden.

Afternoon all, lovely and sunny here, it's not even that cold............ for a change.

I've just had a little chat with Marilyn's husband and he said she's still in hospital. She's still having problems with her breathing and still having coughing fits. The antibiotic hasn't worked as well as expected and they'll have to put a camera down her throat to see if they can find out why she's still having problems. Poor soul must be really fed up by now.

Anyway, Pete said he's taken her laptop in and she can get onto GR now. She might be too tired and weak to write any messages to anyone but she can read them. So we can all send PMs to try and cheer her up a bit.

Shelly, I'll have a look for the thread you put up and let people know that Marilyn can get onto GR now and read messages.

Mo, my back's not much better but thank you for asking. Going back into hospital (just for a day) on the 11th to get spinal injections. Not looking forward to it but it might help, so worth a try.

Hello Liz, haven't seen you for a while, hope you're keeping well.

Linda, that's good news about your brother, he's doing really well. :-)

Huia, your hair has grown back really quickly, nice photo of you and hubby.

Jean, don't push yourself too much, it'll take time to get back to normal.

Yvonne, you must be looking forward to the good weather so you can get your horse out again and see how she copes.

Didn't Stephen say he was going on holiday in April? Maybe he'll wait until he gets back to sort out his computer. If Mrs Stephen doesn't spend all his money he might have enough left to get a new one.......... new computer, not new Mrs Stephen :-D :-D

Take care <3 <3

Morning everyone
Huia it is quiet on here. I haven't been doing much of interest so have been reading but not posting.
Hope the friends who have been unwell are getting better. Marilyn are you back home yet I sure hope so as you have been in hospital too long.
Stephen is your computer still sick? You must be going away soon. Enjoy yourselves when you get there.

Well the bathroom guys are off for the weekend, at least not here but up to their necks in emergencies I guess. Shower is in , flooring down, ceiling and lights installed Tiling all but finished a little grouting to do, the cabinets for the loo and sink are half built, with a lovely heated towel rail to complete the look !! So it looks almost there just bits to tidy up and pull it all together. Long job and thank goodness we have an en-suite, couldn't have coped without it.

Weather was bright down here yesterday. Cold overnight, bit cloudy this morning. Birds are feeding like mad, guess they are nesting though it still feels too cold.

Have a lovely weekend.

Linda xxx <3 <3 <3

Nice to see you on here, Liz. It is almost 12 hours since you posted here. Where is everybody else?

Hope Marilyn will get well soon, and Jean, you take care now. Don't overdo things, that goes for everyone. Take care and have a nice Easter all of you.

love
Lizxx

mo hope fully marilyn willl be back with us soon
i have put up a thread to let her other GR friends no were she is

i and mo i did miss not going gym to day

Linda, your brother has done extremely well being back at work this quickly, even though it is only part time.
My brother was off work for a whole year following his operation.

Shelly, was that you I saw whipping round the supermarket earlier, if it wasn't you, it was your double, she was going hell for leather, running up and down the aisle, tossing things into her trolley as she went.
I know you are going to the gym, but for crying out loud girl, don't over do it.

Has anyone heard how Marilyn is please.

hi ya all

been to the gym twice now i wanted to go to day as well but i was working so hopeing to get there on saterday.
mo im learning to run farst for when roly back is better LOL

linda shame we dont live in the same eara i could of gone gym with you

im board i need some think to do

Morning all my friends
Hoping Jean and Marilyn are on the mend.
too much happening here at the moment. Bathroom still being done thank goodness we have an en-suite.
Off to my brothers over Easter for a thank you meal , celebrating as he went back to part-time working last week . We are very lucky.
The plumber's father in law had a by-pass op yesterday, so his family are going through hell too. Definitely can empathise.

Have a good day everyone. The sun shone this morning.

Linda xxx <3 <3 <3

Busy Busy Busy Huia, you have a life so full of things to do, and places to go, I envy you love.
It's far to cold here, to go out for a walk. It's bad enough when we have to go shopping, I wear so many layers of clothes to keep warm, that I can hardly walk at the best of times. :-( :-( :-(
Thats why I am hoping that we do get a bit of a summer this year, rather than just a couple of days of sunshine.
I am of to my bed now, so goodnight god bless. Mo

Hello Mo. I am still looking in at my threads, but not adding much in the mornings as I have so much to do. The doc told me to walk in the sunshine for 30 mins each morning. Add another 30 mins for putting on my boots, locking up the house, getting out the wagon and driving to a different spot each day, then after the walk doing it all in reverse. Today I want to do a little shopping before I go to work in the shop at 12.30, so if I have my 30 min walk first I will have to get a wriggle on.
