Another belated Good Morning to Michael, Annie and all. I seem to potter around fairly aimlessly these days, before girding my loins and ‘getting on with things’
Gransnet calls whilst I am in bed with a cup of tea, and thanks to Jalima1108, I now have the quote that I was looking for.
Best wishes to Soop and her DH, as I see she has a long journey home after surgery.
Have a good day one and all.

Good morning. Wind still swirling around in east London, keep counting how many bulbs are left on the tree in the garden. Grocery shop this morning, may go clothes shopping later (I don't like but need some new underwear and M&S Sparks card has 20% off). Tennis is this evening, if the dome is still standing; it was having a bit of a wobble in the wind and rain yesterday. Have a good day.

Sunny here in Yorkshire wind seems to have dropped. Cleaning and a bit of gardening and sewing this afternoon. Opera this evening. So a good day. Hope everyone has a great day

Good morning everyone from South Manchester where it’s still and dry! Taking my father for a routine hospital appointment this morning then take him shopping. Later I’m taking him to his doctor for the result of X-ray.

I gather reading these posts that there’s bad news in the world. I’m off to read the newspapers filled with dread.

Good morning from a grey and blustery Birmingham. My little grandson has just gone for his nap, so I’m having another cup of tea and catching up on the news.
A walk in the park later, and then my daughter is coming to put him to bed here while she goes out with her friends. He will stay here until lunchtime tomorrow. It’s a nice distraction from the news.
Have as good a day as possible, everyone.

Good morning All x

One of these days we'll wake up to some cheery news ! sad
Still windy here but don't plan on going far.

Usual chores and will also await D's visit later.

Take care everyone.

Good morning all from Jersey.
We arrived on one of the only ferries running mid week from Guernsey due to the weather conditions.
Thoroughly enjoyed our time on Guernsey, even though a little blustery, we did have some sunny spells too.
We have a much greater understanding of the hardships endured there during the German occupation too. There are two fabulous museums which tell the story.
Today we aim to explore St.Helier, as due to the rain yesterday we took a coach tour to keep us dry as we toured the island of Jersey. There were so many interesting historical facts and tales to hear about.
We're looking forward to seeing what else awaits today.
Have a lovely day everyone.

Just seen the note about the journey time for Soop and Mac, good heavens that is a long time - I hope the weather is kind to them. Wishing them well.

Good morning,
A bright and yet another very blustery morning here in South Yorkshire. The wind did die down a bit last night, but started up again about 3 am. I've had enough of it now!
Enjoyed my meet up yesterday for lunch.
Today, must crack on with the ironing - I do have a tendency to put it off!!?

megan123 Fri 15-Mar-19 08:22:18

Good morning all. Dull but dry, at least the relentless rain has stopped. Busy day, which my dog won't like (he loves peace and quiet)!

Sorry your little one is still poorly, what a worry for you Marydoll. Hope she soon settles.

Have a good day everyone and things improve for those with worries.

Brunette10 Fri 15-Mar-19 08:13:22

Good Morning to all from a bright and dry Fife. Going to go out for my first shop in about 11 days. Been living out of freezer recently. Marydoll I do hope DGD gets better soon. Hope everyone has a pleasant day.

Good morning

Still grey and windy in Kent. Usual Friday food shop and coffee out. Not much else happening here.
Have a good day all.

Good morning still gusty here in Leicestershire.

Waitrose for a change this morning then taking trousers back to M & S. I really should learn!

nana also woke up to the dreadful news from New Zealand. We live in a very cruel world. Maybe Comic Relief will raise our spirits tonight.

marydoll I hope your little one feels better today.

Good morning from a bright but blustery Aberdeenshire...there has been rain through the night. The forecast is snow, but further South, so I hope this NE corner stays clear.
The mutt and are going to the woods again this morning, to play with his new little mates.
Am expecting a visit this afternoon from a long time chum who lives partly in France, partly in Scotland so am looking forward to a good blather.
Have a good day everyone.

harrigran Fri 15-Mar-19 07:48:46

Good morning, sunny but gale force wind again. The wind had eased when I went to bed so didn't put my ear plugs in, big mistake.
We had fish and chip lunch at the seaside yesterday, everything was getting sand blasted.
I feel a three hour plus journey for soop will be extremely tiring so early post op.

Susan56 Fri 15-Mar-19 07:47:32

Good morning.Dull,grey day in Shropshire.Playgroup this morning then coffee and cake with some of the mums.DGD still asleep so it’s going to be a rush to get there on time.

Morning Mick and everyone.
Groundhog Day weather here on south Glam coast too. The forecast for tomorrow is even worse.

Enjoy your Friday whatever your plans.

Good morning all, dull but not raining in Lancashire.
Day out in Liverpool with friends for me, lovely.
Have a good day everyone.

BlueSapphire Fri 15-Mar-19 07:35:31

Good morning to all; still very windy in Northampton, wish it would ease off.
Going to have an easy morning and then collect the DGDs from school this afternoon and give them tea.
Hope the day goes well for everyone.

Nanabanana1 Fri 15-Mar-19 07:31:54

Good morning all another blustery day here in Torbay, just listening to the terrible news from New Zealand my heart goes out to all affected.
Grandchildren coming for sleepover today and Grandaughter wants to go for bubble tea tomorrow ?
Wishing all a good day.

Good morning from a very wild and windy NE coast.

I am also thinking of Marydolls little granddaughter and her asthma poor little lamb.

Off to “that place” until lunch time then on baby sitting duties, picking my dad up to take him for his shopping etc. Which won’t be much fun in these high winds.

Have a good Friday everyone. x

Greyduster Fri 15-Mar-19 07:19:18

Good morning Michael and all GNs. A bright start in South Yorkshire. There is talk of going swimming this morning but I might manage to find an excuse to do something else!! I ought to spend some time in the garden now the wind has dropped. Have a good day all.

Marydoll Fri 15-Mar-19 07:18:55

Good morning from a very windy day in Glasgow.

A change of plans today. DD, DIL and I were going out for coffee to have a planning meeting for DD's wedding next year, whilst DGD (aged 3), looked after papa. grin
However,we are now going to have it at our home, as DGD is still unwell. It was exhausting looking after her yesterday, she was a poor wee lamb. ?

Everything is last minute with DD, so we are trying to get her on track. It wouldn't surprise me if she waited until the week before the wedding, to go online looking for a wedding dress! ?

Wishing a safe journey home for Soop and McSp. It is a three and three quarter hours' journey home on roads, which I don't fancy driving on.

Enjoy your Friday, everyone.
