Good Morning Friday

GrannyGravy13

I will be in Edinburgh too this weekend, there’s March for Scottish Independence through the city on Saturday. The 1st thing you’ll be aware of is the noise of the YesBikers. The March is followed by a rally at The Meadows where, amongst others, Joanna Cherry is speaking.
I hope you and your party enjoy exploring Edinburgh. ?

I love the photos esp the one showing Oscar. ??
I've visited Whitley Bay once and plan another visit in the NY. Last time I stayed in a fab bnb (one Feb) and went on the ferry and met lots of interesting people. I loved it but then, I went because it was mentioned in Tunnel Of Love - Dire Straits, my favourite band.

Good morning from a damp but warm Whitley Bay. Its a good 10deg on the garden thermometer. I have been up since 6am with our new puppy Oscar, he has eaten his breakfast almost in one gulp and is now playing with his toys.
Today will be a wet walk along the sea front and probably some chatting with the other dog walkers, we are quite hardy, we go out in rain or shine. Not sure what we shall do for the rest of the day, perhaps a visit to my sister with Oscar will be nice.
Off to make a cuppa for the hubby have a lovely weekend all.

Second try, here goes.
Good morning Michael, Annie, and all.
Thanks for all the good wishes. I had a very good night, and slept well, only up once.
Have finished breakfast, and thinking about hauling myself upstairs for a was and brush up.
Marydoll, and Gillybob, how do you manage to be so cheerful and do all that you do?
Nothing planned for me, resting again, but I am not a patient, patient, and want to do bits and bobs.
Have a good day one and all.

MaryFinn, yes, Eleanor was the wife of Edward 1. She died in Lincoln and was taken to London to be buried. Everywhere that the cortege stopped overnight Edward had a memorial cross raised to her as a mark of his love and devotion. We are lucky enough to have one of the few remaining ones here in Northampton, which at the moment is undergoing extensive repair and renovation. Looking forward to the scaffolding coming down.

Good morning all,
It’s a grey, damp looking morning here, though the rain seems to have stopped for now. We had plenty during the night. The heating came on this morning, so it was cosy for getting up.
I think you will enjoy San Francisco, Alygran. DH and I had a stopover there for a few nights when we were returning from NZ. (A long time ago now). I loved it, and we found it surprisingly compact, and quite easy to get around.
Today, I’ve got a variety of chores waiting to be done as I’ve been out and about quite a bit this week and left them!
Hope you enjoy your lunch out, Mick.
Have a good day, everyone.

Good Morning from a mild but damp NE. Heavy rain all last night, I love listening to that when I’m tucked up cosy in bed.
No work today so household chores for me, I need to nip out for a timer for the lamps. We are away at the weekend and DH likes to have the house looking occupied.
Have a good Friday everyone.

Good morning Mick & all from damp, chilly Nottingham. Asda delivery today. Will make a chilli for dinner & visit DD. Mick your lunch is ideal winter warmer. Have a great time in Edinburgh GrannyGravy13 & Alygran in San Francisco. It’s Friday Gillybob hope you & DH had a decent night. Have a lovely weekend with your DGD marydoll
Hope all not well feel better soon. Have a good day everyone.

Gilly I would be inclined to say to your sister that in return she can take your dad shopping next week! As Urmston says she does take the biscuit!

Cold here, says 9 degrees but feels freezing. My blood is getting thinner with age. Washing out and going to make some pickles with surplus tomatoes, the May treat myself to a curry. It is Friday after all.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Hope everyone has a good day x

P.s. Gabriella I hope you don’t bump into Dominic Grieve!!
?

Good morning everyone from a drizzly South Manchester. I’m off to the cinema this evening to see ‘Judy’ (as in Garland) with a friend and I’m really looking forward to it.

SAN Francisco! How wonderful. I’ve never been but it’s on our bucket list Alygran

Edinburgh too GG13 I’d love to go. All being well I plan some city breaks from next summer when I (finally) get my state pension.

Gosh gillybob your sister really takes the (dog) biscuit doesn’t she? You are so kind to all your family.

Hope Friday is good to us all whether we have plans or none. x

Morning all from Suffolk. Awaiting the electrician who was due at 8 am!
Yesterday I was doing a bit of clearing in the garden and found we had our very own hedgehog! Have a good day!

Good morning from a damp underfoot NE. It rained heavily all night.
Decided to cut back the plants in the pots on the patio yesterday, put my back out again and spent a night of agony.
Nothing planned for today, perhaps some paperwork.

Good morning sun just coming through the clouds after a light shower this morning in Bristol.
Just a food shop to do this morning might take in a film this afternoon if it rains, quite fancy seeing the Goldfinch I have read the book and liked it but sometimes the film are just not as good.
Grannygravy Edinburgh is beautiful you will love it or as Marydoll said St Andrews is lovely that is where I was born .Hope everyone has a lovely Friday .

Good morning from the NE coast where it is cold and grey, with rain expected later .

I’m off to “that place” in less than 20 minutes, so pleased it’s finally Friday it’s been a very tiring week.

I will be picking little Evie up straight after work and have her until Saturday night, so will have to take her with me to do my usual Friday afternoon chores , seeing to my dad, shopping etc. Both he and I are still coughing and wheezing so I hope little miss doesn’t catch the nasty lurgy .

Also my sister has asked if I can take her dog for a walk this afternoon as her usual dog walker is not available . She has texted me a long list of instructions . I could do with out it to be honest, typical that my time is never my own.

Anyhoo ...... your lunch sounds delicious Mick I often make extra veg with a dinner just so I can mash the left overs for bubble and squeak which we enjoy with cold meats and a fried egg. Yummy.

I can almost feel your excitement Alygran I hope you have a fabulous time in the USA. Not sure if you are allowed to say this anymore according to some, but I am a teensy bit

You will love Edinburgh GrannyGravy make sure you have plenty warm woolies with you though . I hope you have a lovely time, I’m sure you will .

Good luck recovering the £200 ninathenana it’s a horrible feeling isn’t it? I had something similar happen to me on Christmas Day last year ! I eventually got it back though.

I hope everyone with this lurgy feels better soon and Auntiflo has had a comfortable night .

Have a good Friday everyone whether you have plans or not. Stay warm x

Bore da bawb! Good morning everyone from a damp Anglesey.
No work today, so will try to declutter the house - keep putting it off, but I WILL do it!

Mythbirtthedragon - the choirfest sounds interesting. I'm in a choir myself and would be great to meet up with other ones! I love a big concert!

BlueSapphire - Eleanor of Castile - was she Edward I's wife? Does she have a tomb in Westminster Abbey? Would love to do a history course!

Taking dog out later - when it stops raining! Might make some lemon curd, if I can remember to buy some sugar.

Daughter coming to stay next week, so got to have a tidy house!

Bye everyone, have a great weekend! Mwynhewch y benwythnos!xxxxxxx

Good Morning All x
A very still morning, damp but not as cold as yesterday with there being no wind about.

Gardener coming this morning to clear some clutter which tends to build up , broken pots shrub cuttings and the like.

Stepdaughter called yesterday and stayed overnight so we were gassing until the early hours catching up with all sorts of news. I've left her sleeping because she's been a bit down as well. We're more like sisters really which is nice. Got to speak to the step-grandchildren and GGC on D's phone , they're in Wiltshire at the Army barracks, so that was lovely. Also the local step-GD who was going on night duty at the hospital for her usual shift on the dementia ward.

Good job I went to Asda the other day so there's plenty in.

Getting showered now then breakfast. Hope you all have a good day------it'll soo be over for Gillybob then she can breathe easy for a couple of days.

Flu-jab arm easing off now as it was a bit uncomfortable for a few hours yesterday and last night----but better that, eh ?
Mick and his bubble and squeak, delicious !

Good morning, as Kitty said it is very damp here in Leicestershire.

Quiet day today although at the moment got the electrician here putting a dimmer switch in as our new lights, though beautiful are very bright!

Good morning everyone ?? from overcast Godalming. 12° rising to 16° later but damp from overnight rain.
Actually, a weak sun trying to get into the conversation ATM.
Everywhere looks pristine, greens look greener, flowers fresher, fields a rich nutty brown and horses rugged up and contentedly chewing as I passed by on my run...with weights and they did make a difference.
I felt quite virtuous afterwards as I grinned at P, my running buddy. "Tomorrow it's hills" he announced. ?
Guildford today to open another savings account and pick up my order from M&S.
I might peek into Primark before getting the bus home.
Laundry was done yesterday so nothing pressing to do later except buy a lottery ticket ?
Micks lunch sounds good ?...except for the ? but I bet the usual buses and cafes missed his daily arrival when he was in Harrogate.
I'll be in Beaconsfield tomorrow seeing friends and staying overnight but not sure if we're doing anything really exciting...we'll see.
Whatever you're up to, have a wonderful weekend and ⚘⚘⚘ to all who aren't feeling well. ?

Grannygravy, I hope you have a lovely time! Wrap up well and take a brolly!
Lots of things to do, trips you can make! It's only an hour to Glasgow or you could visit St Andrew's.
Grammaretto is bound to have lots of suggestions.

Good morning all. Grey but dry in Northampton this morning and a bit milder than yesterday.

A trip into town this morning for a few things off the market, and then the school run this afternoon. Going to put a curry in the slow cooker later.

A very good course yesterday about Eleanor of Castile, and in particular what is being done to repair and restore our Eleanor Cross. Some very good speakers, some more enthusiastic and interesting than others, but all in all a good day out.

Your lunch sounds yummy, Mick!

Good Morning from a dull and wet Fife. Most of the rain happened through the night but it still quite yuk outside. GrannyGravy13 I hope you have a great time in Edin, if you've not been before I'm sure you will find it's a beautiful and exciting place, lots to do. Gillybob I hope you are getting better it's Friday! DGS1 1st birthday today and cannot believe he is a year old already, it's been a very quick year. Enjoy your Friday everyone.

Good morning Mick and all all from a damp Glasgow.
It's ten degrees today , yesterday it was one degree!

A day in for me, still feeling under the weather.
We have DDG ALL weekend, whilst mummy and daddy go on a jolly to St Andrew's for daddie's fortieth birthday, so I need all my stamina for that
DS1 "doesn't want any fuss!", well you could have fooled me, he has managed to drop it into every conversation recently!

I have conscripted my other children to come and help as I'm pretty washed out. She will love every minute of being spoiled. I believe a bear hunt is planned, complete with a big stick and a head torch.
Instructions have been issued for her "party" before bed,
I told her as part of her surprise that she could have a sweet from the tin of Heroes, she told her dad that she was getting the whole tin!

My thoughts with all who are feeling under the weather.
Auntieflo, I hope you are doing as you are told and resting!

Enjoy your day everyone.
