I’ve been enjoying all the posts on here for quite awhile. So many positive people and interesting posts. I notice a lot of people are on a first name basis. For the record my name is Laurie😊😊😊

I’m at lunch I’m working. I work at a large plant nursery. It’s hot and sunny here

Wow! I have a coworker who also works in a flower shop/nursery and she puts flowers together in pots for the holidays. I haven't seen her for almost 5 months (she works with me away from the flower shop).

Sorry to hear it's really warm. Today, the temps. here are upper 80's into the low 90's. Mother Nature seems to have trouble making up her mind about if we are going to have thunder and lightning, or stay nice and sunny.

I'm creating the new BRAINWORKS posting for tomorrow. Hope to have it done by 2 pm today. Will see! :-)

Hi Di! It must be nice to live near the coast. From what I’ve seen in pictures on this website all of the English countryside is beautiful.

We can see cruise ships from our lounge windows and America’s cup boats practising. We are so lucky.

Hi Laurie I'm Jo and I live in Cardiff and have an extremely spoilt elderly ginger tabby called baby who is 16!

You’ve posted pictures of him/her I think. My last cat before Angie lived to 21. The older ones are real snugglers I’ve found.

Hi AndrewT! I waited to answer so it wouldn’t be so late in the U.K. I’ve been overwhelmed by all the kind responses. I have been on for quite a while but just felt that a lot of us were on a first name basis so I’d join the group! Will be glad to hear from you!

Hi Laurie

Welcome and thank you for your lovely introduction.

Hi fellow Laurie and it’s even spelled the same way! My parents had a disagreement over Laura and Laurel so settled on Laurie as a compromise 😄😄😄

Hi Laurie, my name is Janet I'm afraid I don't contribute very much to this site but find the information given by others really interesting and helpful I hope you do to. I live in the Midlands and hope things settle down soon so we can all enjoy a visit to our City of Culture (Coventry) next year which is quite near to where I live. Janet

Gillyflower18 in reply to Gladders

Hi Janet! First reply from someone who says they are from the midlands. You should post some pictures of the local countryside. It’s a treat for me to see some of the local scenery in the U.K. It gives me a better feel for the country than you get on the news. Are you a gardener?

A very good day to you Laurie, l am Tim.

I always feel that it is more personal, even if it is just your your first name. Much better than a load of letters and numbers!

It even does not need to be your real name.

Good to meet you anyway, best wishes, Tim.

Gillyflower18 in reply to footgo

Thank you Tim. I stopped answering yesterday because of the time difference. It would have been much to late in the U.K. 🙂

Hi Laurie, my name is Patricia, people on this site are so kind and helpful and make dreadful jokes. I live on the South Coast, outside of Portsmouth.

Gillyflower18 in reply to VelvetSky

Hello Patricia! Don’t you love the awful jokes? Especially Bazzaks. I’ve heard from another South Coaster. If you run thru the replies you’ll find her.

Hi Laurie,

My rule is always that if someone ends with their 'real' name, then I feel comfortable to address them by that name. So I'm delighted to learn your name and I'll try to use it in future. (Please forgive me if I sometimes forget.)👍😊

No problem. Either way I’ll be happy to hear from you!

Hi Laurie! Welcome to the group. I don’t post a lot either but have found a lot of information regarding our illness. It is such a supportive and caring group. You can usually meet up with someone that has the same Mets as you and the same treatments and side effects. So comforting 💕

Wishing you all the best too.
