Good Morning Wednesday

Good morning! Have been up and about for a while as had DGSs overnight as both parents had work commitments away from home. Both now at school & I am back home enjoying breakfast! Sunny and dry atm!

Good morning all , miserable drizzly day out there .
I am wondering what to do later , an old neighbour has died and her funeral is in our local church at 11 , however there was no notice in the papers or on line and she had left the village years ago , so I don't know whether to attend or not . I feel I should , out of respect , but wonder if the family wants it all private . Jim used to attend all funerals so that is another duty I feel I should take on

Annie, you snuck in under the radar, whilst I was tryingg to remember what I had written, then lost. Have a good day.

I've just lost my first post. Fumble fingers.
Good morning Mick, Annie to come and all others.
Have got nothing planned, apart from Hospital later this morning.
Could do some ironing;could clear the leaves; could do some housework; nothing appeals.
I need a good shake up. Sigh!
Grannygravy13, your post made me reminisce (sp). We used to live in Rayleigh, (Hatfield Road), but left there in 1968. Gosh I bet it's changed.
Gillybob, sending healing thoughts to you and your sore back.
To all busy people, and those not feeling up to par, have a good day.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Hope everyone has a good day x

No way Mapleleaf the deli section has lost a customer now too. There are so many coffee shops these days in Olney where I was, even discounting the ubiquitous Costa/ Starbucks/Caffe Nero chains, and competition is keen!

Good morning.
It looks as if there's been a lot of rain through the night. The sun is making a brave attempt to show now, but I suspect it will be short lived.
Going bird watching later, if it stays dry enough - they tend to hide when it rains! ?
Shame about the coffee, Maw - will you be using that cafe again or trying another one next time? Odd that they wouldn't serve you when it was still officially opening time. ? I remember once being in a pub that served meals until 9pm and they turned people away at 8.30pm. They lost quite a lot of trade as there were about 4 people.
Enjoy your day, everyone.

Morning everyone. Lovely bright morning here in Leigh, hope it is the same tomorrow for our meet up in Rayleigh, which I am looking forward to. Sounds like you will need a cuppa GrannyGravy13 after the kitchen invasion! I note other GN are meeting up today and some tomorrow - hope you had/will have a good natter.

Good morning from N Bucks where yet again it is bright and crisp!
I am taking a huge car load of clothes to our nearest Emmaus. A radical wardrobe clearout has left me thoroughly ashamed of keeping good quality jumpers (in particular ) and coats “just in case” when I am clearly not wearing them. Plus I have sorted out a lot of Paws shirts, jumpers and trousers, again all in excellent condition. If anybody has any other suggestions for homeless or refugee charities too I would welcome them.
A cautionary tale from yesterday- went into a local deli/coffee shop at about quarter to three for a cuppa and hopefully a cake (the Wild Leaf cafe, Ginny -be warned) . There was one person serving at the deli counter so when he had finished with the customer I asked if he was on his own or could he serve me in the cafe. Someone came out of the kitchen and said they shut at 3, so I pointed out it was still only 5 to 3 and I had been waiting for ten minutes for anybody to notice me.
Tough, apparently
Silly me for thinking I could get a and a at 3 in the afternoon.
Wishing you all a pleasant day!

Good morning all from a dark and damp North Yorkshire.
Builder coming today to finish off the woodwork around the front door after putting in a new step. Out tonight to WI for a make up demonstration.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from the wet n windy Scottish borders. It's hardly light so not much incentive to begin the day.
A quiet Wednesday in store. Hope you enjoyed your break Mick.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. A dull day in prospect for South Yorkshire. We had a long walk yesterday and my back is killing me this morning. Some food shopping I think. NfK I sympathise. I missed a wonderful sundog yesterday because I had put the camera back in the bag and even in the short time it took to get it back out it had faded to nothing! Have a good day folks.

GrannyGravy, it will all be worth it, as I can testify!!!

Good morning Mick and all, raining here in Glasgow.
We have DGD today to allow mum to go to the hairdresser and get some things for DGD's birthday.
Lots of pain today, as well as a disappointing hospital visit yesterday, so I think we will just be chilling. Just like Brunette, I think it might be a "Jumping in muddy puddles day!".
Good luck harrigran, I hated the treadmill, always thought I wouldn't be able to keep up, ? Gilly I hope you get some relief and *Safe journey, Kitty.

Good morning all x

Bright colourful sky here in SE Essex.

The builders/decorators are here, starting on my kitchen today aargh!!!! I am yet again hiding in the bedroom.

Off to the gym later, then I might start on writing the Christmas cards ?????

Looking forward to tomorrow's meet-up with 3 gransnetters, If any other gransnetters would like to join us we are meeting in Squires the top end of Rayleigh High Street, at 12 noon ?☕️

Wishing you all a peaceful Wednesday

Good morning from a partly sunny Birmingham. My cleaner comes this morning, so I’m taking a book for a walk then coffee in the Arts Centre so she can get on. I look forward to coming back to a lovely clean house and the cushions en pointe on the sofas. A concert this evening to look forward to as well.

Morning Mick, Morning All. Sky clearing over our corner of Somerset. Dentist then some tidying and cleaning after a restorative coffee. Hope Wednesday is kind to everyone.

What - not about!

I was wondering about that boarder was doing on the quilt too!

Good Morning to everyone. It's still quite dark here in Fife but I believe it's to rain today - ugh!. It's Wednesday so have DGS1 today, so looking forward to our little chats again. Since it's raining will prob have to occupy him in the house OR put his wellies on and get outside. Everyone seems so busy today. The run up to Christmas always gets like this . Hope everyone has a nice day - enjoy.

Morning Mick and All.

It sounds as if you have had a good break Kitty.

Well done to your DGD Blue learning Shakespeare is not easy.

I do feel for you Gilly with your bad back and your need to go to work, it is not easy.

Harrigran you'll be alright. I had all that palava a few years ago and found that I'd put on the wrong shoes although slightly flattish they were leather soled and heeled and clip-clopped like a horse. I felt so embarrassed when the speed was increased and probably would have done much better if I'd worn " silent soles ".

Morning all.

From a currently grey skyed Kent. The forecast is bright and sunny the same as yeesterday. It will be a shock when the cold weather arrives next week.
Housework for me too Mick Safe journey kitty

Millymouge, does your husband know about you needing to "sort out the boarder on your current quilt?" Was that why he needed to wear a mask at the recycling centre? ?

Good morning, still dark but seems to be mild.
I have a hospital appointment at 9am but have been told to attend 30 minutes earlier for preparation. Not looking foward to this as I have to go on the treadmill with ECG leads on.
