Good Morning Sunday

Good morning from a damp but brightening Essex. A lot of sadness on here today and going to my dear friend's husbands funeral tomorrow. A day no-one wants to happen but we go to support each other. Going to my DS today for lunch with DGSs and my DD and her partner will be there as well. Then home in time for Dancing on Ice and Call the midwife. My favourite TV night. Hope everyone has the best day they can xxx

Grandmaof2, welcome. This is such a lovely forum.

Good Morning All x.
Dull and damp and looks as though there's been quite a rainfall during the night, though I wouldn't have heard a bomb going off let alone rain as I'd slept heavily last night. Sheer mental exhaustion I suspect with the brain working overtime and having my GGD here too.

A bit of tidying up is in order but nothing too drastic, then dinner to prepare later.

I was saddened to hear of Oldgaijin and also the latest sadness of EllaKate. This time of year isn't the nicest at all.

The poor Gillybob's are still suffering too, it must be 6 months that Mr G has been ill now, all for the sake of an op. that would/ could now have been over and done with, I can't understand it at all. Yet no time or expense is spared for bringing back citizens ( in a hospital near me ) with more to follow.

Have a peaceful Sunday whatever you do. Thoughts to those who have illnesses xx

Good morning from east London, rain has stopped, it’s mild and hopefully it will stay that way when I wander off down the road to do some food shopping. DD and family are coming over later and I have offered a meal. We brought about 4 bags of charity shop clothes away from Southend yesterday, most of which needs washing. I do like to see DP busy. I feel like I should start a thread on the different ways LAs do recycling; here just about everything goes into one bin; Southend, feels like a different coloured bag for every category.
There’s a lot of sadness within the posts today; however, like you, Grandmaof2, my second GD is almost 4 weeks now and the photos DD has sent me of her smiling and giggling reaffirms the bright side of life. Have the best day you can

Good morning everyone from a damp Northampton. At least the wind seems to have dropped after yesterday.
Sark, once the DCs had left home, my dear DH brought me breakfast in bed every Sunday. How I do miss him. Every other day of the week I used to bring him a tea, but that was my treat on a Sunday. Happy memories.
Really enjoyed the new Star Wars film yesterday, I felt it was one of the best and was even a bit tearful at the end, knowing it was the last of the saga. Silly me!
Nothing planned but a day in today so will take it easy, reading the papers and of course watching rugby this afternoon.
Thinking of everyone who has sadness and worries to bear.

Good morning.
Another thank you from me Marydoll for lighting the candles.So sad to hear the news about EllaKeat,Another very brave lady.
Hope you had a better night gilly.
Thinking of all with sadness,illness and worries.

dragonfly46 Thank you

Good morning Mick & all from grey, wet Nottingham. The rain has stopped for now.
Quiet day today.
I made some homemade shortbread the other day ninathena so much nicer than shop bought.
Thank you for lighting candles marydoll.
Welcome Grandmaof2
Thoughts with Gillybobs & Oldgaijin.
Hope all not well or struggling have a better day.
Have a good day everyone.

Welcome Grandmaof2

Hello Sark Thank you. Am having more than my fair share of cuddles. They are all living with me for the time being, I get home from work then take over baby duties to give my daughter a rest. Her bf not too much help. Im loving it though, never had much time with my other granddaughter this young

Hello grandmaof2
Congratulations on your baby granddaughter
Hope you're having lots of cuddles

About to embark on the quite lengthy task of getting DH up and ready to face the day but need to dry my hair first.

Nothing planned apart from DH watching the rugby this afternoon so might make the marmalade which has been waiting for several days.

Thoughts with our usual people who are having a rough time.

Thank you Urmstongran

Hello to you Grandmaof2 it always nice to welcome newbies.
?

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders where the gales have blown away and the birds are singing to herald a better day?
It's mild here but maybe the heating is on high.
I was sad to read about EllaKeat too. She wasn't very old at all and sounds such a wonderful person who will be sorely missed.
I would like a quiet day today. The calm before the storm as we have a busy week ahead.
Praying for better news from the Gillybobs
Sending best wishes to all of you.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

@Lins1066 Thank you, she is 4 weeks old now and a little cutie

A sad morning for us crowd. Poor EllaKeat and to have had to de register along with all she had to contend with too. She knew she didn’t have long and yet was so brave. My condolences to her family.

Oldgaijin is on all our minds as she holds a special place in our hearts. Thank you for lighting a candle on behalf of us all Marydoll that’s a lovely, comforting gesture to have done.

And dearest gillybob you are in our thoughts a lot. You seem to have been left holding the baby. I hope you both had a better sleep last night and that your husband’s new meds are making a difference. What about your sinus infection - did you get it sorted?

I’m enjoying a cuppa in bed made by me as my husband is still snoozing next to me. He can make my second one though and some buttered toast ha! Payback for his lie in.

He’s taking our grandson to his indoor cricket coaching session this afternoon. Other than that we have no plans. We might eat out en famille later, we’ll see.

Hope Sunday is kind to us all especially those with worries, whether we have plans or none. x

Welcome Grandmaof2
Congrats on your new granddaughter.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a wet South Yorkshire. I really don’t want to get up this morning as I sleep very badly, but DH wants to go and find the venue for GS’s party next week as we are transporting three of his guests. It entails a trip up the motorway and it all looks a bit complicated so forwarned is forarmed! On our return (unless we get lost and can’t find our way home) I am cooking a roast dinner for DD and her menfolk.
Kind thoughts to all who are struggling.

Good Morning Mick and all, it's adamp and grey start in S Wales.
I'm sorry about your cat QuaintIrene hope she's ok.

Like NanKate I remember EllaKeat too, I'm sorry that you are so down Mary but understand completely.

Best wishes to gilly and her dh.
Hope everyone will have a restful day.

Good morning all.

Its wet in North Leicestershire but our hall is dry!!

There is such a lot of sadness here!

Good morning from Barking Essex.

Am new on here and finding my way around the site. Thought id start with a good morning to you all

Dull day here. Am going to have a lazy day indoors. Will have fun with newborn granddaughter until she off out with my daughter and her dad at lunchtime.

Happy Sunday to all

Good morning all, from a dreary and damp Derbyshire.
So much sadness on here. Hope all with worries/sadness can find some comfort and those poorly can begin to feel an improvement.

Good morning from a miserable Bristol no walk today by the looks of the weather.
Sad news Marydoll
I hope gillybobsDH is a bit better and all with worries have a restful Sunday.
