Good Morning Monday

Good Morning from Northern California, where we are on our 11th day of unhealthy air quality due to the fire 200 miles north of us. They say it could be toward the end of the month before the fire is completely out. Once again, we will stay inside as much as possible today. I have lots of “domestics” to keep me occupied, as my eldest DGD was here for the weekend and we had a lovely messy weekend indoors.

Good afternoon, everyone.
I'm a bit late today, even though I've been up since 8.30. Needed to sort DH out ready for going back to work after his week off, then it was my coffee morning group, so I'm afraid my good morning has morphed into the afternoon! ?
Mick, your leftover veg and any meat should freeze until you need it again - I often do that. Glad it all turned out well.
We've been in York this weekend. We saw Jools Holland on Friday evening at the Barbican, which was excellent and then had a lovely weekend. The Christmas market started this weekend so we had a mooch around that, took a river cruise on Saturday and visited Jorvik yesterday. A busy but enjoyable few days, with good weather. It's not so good now, as it has turned wet, drizzly and cold.
Enjoy the rest of the day. ?

Greetings all! Aberdeenshire has descended in to an ice age again...minus 6'ish in Braemar last night so shall stay cosy in doors and sod cleaning out the shed. The spiders are safe for another week or two.

Good morning all, just enjoying a cup of coffee and a crumpet after wiping the condensation off the windows. Blue skies and sunshine on Anglesey this morning so have thrown open the offending windows. Traded in our yeti for a nice little second hand Toyota Yaris with low mileage yesterday and enjoyed the Christmas Market in Llandudno. Off to Holyhead now for some superglue as I broke a precious ornament last evening, also need dental floss and couscous.
I love the idea of 'mooching' AuntyFlo and intend to do just that this afternoon.
Have a lovely rest of day everybody

Good morning everyone!
I’ve just discovered this ‘good morning’ thread. What a lovely way to start the day with bits of news and weather from all around the country?! It’s almost elevenses time here in North Dorset - where it’s bright but pretty chilly. I hope all of us ‘grannies’ have a very happy day.

All done at the dentist and no injection needed to numb my mouth. Now home and twiddling my thumbs as i thought i would be drooling from my face being numb!!! Think i will take a wander to the library and get some fresh air and exercise.

Good morning everyone. We are over in Malaga for a month, due home early December to spend Christmas with the family. The weather has been mixed the last couple of days - we had a spectacular thunderstorm with forked lightening on Saturday morning and heavy rain yesterday. Anyway it’s gorgeous out now. Bright sun and very warm, especially behind glass!
I’m off to meet 3 friends in a couple of hours for wine & a catch up. No men allowed ha! Love it. ❤️

Morning Mick, Annie and all others here. Nannytopsy you are not the last, I too am rolloing in late this morning. No appointments to keep to today, so we are being very lazy. I have got a couple if things that I want to cook, experimenting again, but apart from that, it’s a free day.
It’s chilly but dry and fairly bright here, so we may go out mooching and for a coffee later.
Haven’t done anything towards Christmas yet, in the way of presents, so thinking cap on, and headache pills to come.
Oh yes, I did make a small Christmas cake on Friday, in a loaf tin, so hope it turns out OK. It smelt lovely, and is now awaiting it’s first ‘feed’.
Have a good day one and all.

Morning all! I may be the last to roll in this morning! I too am a late riser because of a bad night and like Grey, have a kitchennwhich is a disaster after lunch for nephew et al yesterday. Better get moving then

Brrr. Chilly start here in the Scottish Borders and the birds are noisy. We are home after a weekend away on GP duty to find the caged fat balls have been knocked off the bird table and not a scrap left.
Dentist today and domestic chores.
Hope you all have a good week.

I haven't contributed to the good morning thread for ages. . I'm afraid that my early mornings have vanished. My sleeping pattern is rubbish at the moment and I'm trying to rectify it.
Overcast and cold in West Northumberland today. DH and I may go winter coat shopping later, that's if he feels up to it. He gets very tired these days, trying to hold down 3 jobs. He's afraid to retire but at 67 I think it's about time to slow down!

good morning all!
I have slept right through from a little after midnight when I was tossing and turning, or so I thought, until nearly 9! I must have been tired and needing it will be my excuse- perhaps driving up to Birmingham and back for DGS 3’s Birthday. Bless him, he got “Man of the match” for scoring all 4 of his (winning) team’s goals in his under 7’s football match in the morning .
Gorgeous and sunny here, wishing you all a pleasant day.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Hope everyone has a good day x

Good morning everyone. It's the first time I've been up in time to contribute. DH has an early Dr's appointment, to his great annoyance. Dullish and cold here in West Sussex. Quite happy to be in today after 3 days of going out. Have to speak nicely to the dishwasher which appears to be dying on me- there's always something like that just before Christmas. Have a lovely day.

Good morning from a very bright and sunny East Northants. Overslept after a disturbed night (again!) so slow getting started. On the hunt for new Christmas cards today after having a good clear out of what I had left yesterday. Must have had some of them for decades! Hope its a good day for all.

Morning Mick, Morning All from a cloudy and decidedly chilly corner of Somerset. Meaningful discussions at 5.30am kitty? Pleased you got the outcome you wanted but think I’m in shock at the timing. Faffing at home for me today after a very enjoyable but exhausting family time yesterday. Hope Monday is kind to everyone and poorly people are better soon.

Good morning everyone from a very windy and wet Essex by the sea. It's been very blowy all night. Shopping and housework this morning, probably catching up with tv and trying to do a bit more of my rather difficult puzzle later. Hope you all have a good day.

Good morning All.x
A fine bright morning here in the NW.
Bit of writing to do today concerning one or two issues that have cropped up within the family that has to be thrashed out sooner rather than later. Not particularly looking forward to it but it has to be done.

Morning all from an unremarkable North Leicestershire - at least weather-wise it is unremarkable.

I've been up since 5.30 having meaningful discussions with dh regarding reorganising the upstairs sitting room (or playroom as it is normally known) I think I won!

We are off to collect 2 new side tables from John Lewis later and have free coffee and cake vouchers to use so that's a bonus!

Enjoy your days everyone!

Good morning , Mick and all from a chilly Glasgow. Had a lovely day in Stirling yesterday, but couldn't get home from Glasgow , as no trains for three hours. ? So we had to go via another route get and get a taxi home. An expensive day out, but worth it.
It is DGD's birthday lunch today, but I have lost my voice, am wheezing and like NanKate, I have hacking cough.
I'm feeling quite sorry for myself! However, it will not stop me going to see my wee darling.
I hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning all, looks dry and not too dull out . I got up , opened the curtains , put the kettle on , but decided to get back in bed , shopping for spare room bedding later , seems visitors reported the sheets a bit small !

Good morning from under the duvet in a cold but dry Birmingham. I’m at my partner’s house, waiting for breakfast in bed (I know....) I’m going to a concert at Birmingham cathedral at lunchtime, then will have a late lunch somewhere, then I’m on the hunt for some socks, possibly glittery.
Glad your dinner turned out well, Mick. Annie and everyone, have a good day.

Good morning from a grey, cold Colchester. Walking Netball this morning and we have DGS2 this afternoon.

Morning to everyone from a dark and dismal Fife. Very cold I believe outside today, however nothing anyone can do about that. Everyone so far seems to be in fine fettle, that's good news. Off to meet a friend for coffee/catch up this morning, had better wrap up. Hope all have a good day.

Good morning all, only just got up and feeling a bit woozy! After a couple of nights of lying awake I decided to take a sleeping tablet last night, slept right through till two cats leapt onto my chest at 7.15! Cats are now fed, I'm having a cup of tea and just trying to decide whether to go to yoga or not. It's a dull day and looks chilly. Thinking I might stir myself and go as I enjoy the company, and we have coffee afterwards.
