Good Morning Friday 2nd September 2022

I thought I would start the Good Morning thread today for a change. It is actually arvo for me but what the hell?

Overcast day and decidedly cool.

My son rung to ask if I am going to watch his ship leave as it goes to scare the shit out of the Chinese (or was it the Fijians, one of them). It will be my first trip to Sydney and my first on public transport since the beginning of the pandemic. HMAS Sydney sails on 4th Sept for Hawaii, Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam and the South China Sea. I blacked it out because it might be a secret - no idea.

It should work out well because my daughter in law won’t drive in Sydney so I will drive their car back to Wollongong so she can drive on roads she is confident on to drive back to Canberra and I get a lift home - win win all round.

Apart from that today looks pretty bleak, got the recycling bin back in this morning and I might go into the garden later such is today’s excitement.

Have a good one

Just a couple of odd jobs this morning for me and a visit to the hospital this afternoon to visit my mum, so an easy day…

Have a pleasant one yourselves…

Good Afternoon Bruce, Good Morning Barry and all who follow.

Enjoyed my early walk - crunching through Autumn leaves and being pelted with conkers! Going to be cloudy most of the day - but it is still quite warm.

I think I am shopping with a friend today - but she has not confirmed it - so am not 100% sure - something will happen anyway - let it be a surprise!

@Barry - Hope your Mum is improving.

Good morning all, sun is coming out.

Off out early to do our weekly shopping, then a man is coming over to put up a new garage door.

Have a nice day all.

Hi

A good day to you all.

A quiet night, very slow and I still have not had my first coffee of the day.

My blood pressure tanked this morning, I am fine, but they have no sense of humour.

I have tried explaining that I am clinically dead until my first coffee.

The day shift will be on soon and they know what I am like.

Home after lunch, have a good day all

Morning all.

Hopefully you can still make your discharge, Swimmy! Fingers crossed.

I need to walk Holly very shortly, then wait in for the doctor to phone me (just hope it doesn’t end up all day, supposed to be the morning), and the window cleaner is expected to turn up. Once we have discussed my blood test result, and whatever the ‘borderline’ is, I hope to mention my wait for the next dermatology appt., hope he can hurry them along. He will most likely say no he can’t.

I could do with some vacuuming, but need to find some silent jobs around the house, so I don’t miss either of the phones ringing.

Hope you find mum doing ok, @Barry.

Enjoy your Friday.

That is good news, Swimmy. I bet you are looking forward to sleeping in your own bed again!

Hi

I am living downstairs at the moment and they have given me a fully electric hospital bed.

It is very comfortable and I use it as a sofa during the day.

So glad you’re allowed home, especially after the wobble a couple of days ago.

A bright morning here. Off to RHS Worsley later (gotta make use of the season ticket), then a bit of shopping on the way home.

Have got a few chicken thighs left over, so going to attempt making some chicken and leek pasties later. This is all @Barry 's fault for inspiring me.

Morning all!

Lawn watered. Heat picked back up.

Plans shifted to trying to stay cool.

Have a stupendous day everyone.
