Good morning all from a yet again wet Glasgow.

Welcome to Brook, Shelmiss and Nequay. I recognise your name, Newquay and hoping your appointments go well today.
Same goes for you, Urmonstongran. ?

I have the hospital this afternoon, right in the middle of the schools rush hour. It's the one with the complicated junction and bus lanes, which DH dislikes! ?
It's got a bit complicated. We should be picking up DGD from nursery at 3pm , but as we will be at the hospital, we will need to pick her up at lunchtime from nursery, feed her, change her and rush out.
If her usual appearance is anything to go by, she will be covered in mud, paint, felt pens and missing all her hair clasps. grin.
The other day, her mum noticed her shoes were covered in felt pen. DGD's excuse: Mummy, I fell onto some pens.

I have hot cross buns rising, well they may not actually rise. ?. I got up early to start them off, but felt the dough didn't look right. I realised I had only put in half the flour, but the full amounts of everything else. No problem, I thought. I'll add more flour. However, on topping up the flour , I realised I had used the wrong flour in the first place. I think I have lost the plot!
Not a good omen for the rest of the day! wink

As usual thinking of all those who need our support and kind words. Enjoy your day, everyone.

Good morning from the Shropshire borders where we have very heavy rain again.
One side of the lane by our daughters house is now only accessible by tractor,the other side not as deep as yet,rain forecast for the next few days so worrying.
Mommawolf.my son in law has a similar issue with people accessing their land with no regard for their animals?
We had a lovely day with family yesterday celebrating DGS’s second birthday.
DGD coming for her Thursday sleepover.She will no doubt have planned our days activities.
Good luck at the Drs Urmston and best wishes to all in the sick bay.Hope everything goes well tomorrow gilly,I think you will be on your way to the hospital in the morning before I get to the good morning thread.x

Good morning from North Yorkshire. It’s dry but very windy again.
DGS and DD2 are still asleep so I’m having a quiet cup of tea.
Nothing much planned for today but I expect we will go to the park to play football at some point. Off to the pub for dinner this evening, it’s a bit of a tradition for the last evening of a half term stay at Grandma’s.
Sending good wishes to all on the sick list. Thinking of Lucky
Good to see new posters on here. Welcome.
Hope today is kind to everyone.

Good morning all. Friend staying at the mo but she goes today at lunchtime. We have had a great time. Bridge club tonight. Hope your doc's appt goes well Newquay. Thinking of those with illnesses and recently bereaved.

Good morning from a very dull and damp Birmingham, with low grey cloud looking ominous. I have a meeting to set up a new U3A group this morning, then a matinee concert at Symphony Hall. We will probably go for a pie and a pint afterwards in a very nice pub in the cathedral square.
I hope everyone has a good day!

Mommawolf Thu 20-Feb-20 08:11:19

Welcome NEWQUAY hope you soon feel better.

Good morning from a grey Essex. Did see some blue appearing a while ago but gone now. Day in London with DGS1 today. 35 minutes on the train and then No 15 bus which goes past all the famous sights. Then lunch at Rainforest Cafe. I have never been before(to the cafe that is!) so quite excited. Hope the weather is kind to us and everyone has the best day they can. Welcome to the newbies! Xxxx?

Newquay Thu 20-Feb-20 08:08:32

I’m a lurker too-love reading everyone’s posts from everywhere even abroad too! So sad to hear problems different folks face especially health. Have woken all but deaf with head cold-and going to a funeral today too! And got double appointment at docs-bad back, need a x ray to see what’s going on but, more worryingly, stomach problems. Feeling nauseous since just before Christmas-yuk!

Sark Thu 20-Feb-20 08:04:42

Sorry Brook hello too! flowers

Curlywhirly Thu 20-Feb-20 08:03:51

Welcome Shelmiss lovely to hear from you.

Oh, Mommawolf your naughty goat, he obviously wasn't happy with your intruders! Fancy camping in your meadow, the cheeky beggars. Just as well there weren't any cows in that meadow - although I am an animal lover, I am scared to death of cows!

Urmstongran Thu 20-Feb-20 08:03:10

Hi Shelmiss ?
Good to have you join us!

Sark Thu 20-Feb-20 08:02:42

Hi Shelmisscafecupcake
Good morning coffee and cake for you!

Mommawolf Thu 20-Feb-20 08:01:56

Welcome BROOK and SHELMISS this is a lovely thread.

Welcome Shelmiss

Shelmiss Thu 20-Feb-20 07:55:07

Good morning all. I hope you don’t mind me dropping by but I’ve been a GN lurker for a while, I only post occasionally but want to raise my head now, and join in and say hi hope that’s ok. ??‍♀️

I live in North Manchester where it’s a bit overcast at the moment, hopefully the rain will stay away for a while (but probably won’t).

Have a good day everyone ?

Good morning all from a dull and damp Northampton.
Had a lovely time last night with DD at our wine tasting; we tried five different wines which were all very good. DD stayed over and she is now getting ready to go to work. Rather her than me!
Nothing planned for today, except a Sainsburys delivery after lunch, so just going to take it easy, will probably read and just potter.
Hope all have the best day they can.

Mommawolf - oh no hope you get everything sorted and couple are OK. Who wants to be camping at this time of year though confused

Urmstongran Thu 20-Feb-20 07:47:25

Goodmorning Mick and all x

It is grey and blustery here in SE Essex. I shall have a pottering morning then off to the hairdressers this afternoon I am considering having my hair cut sorter (currently about 2" below my shoulders).

Thinking of Luckygirl and gilllybob, I hope your bloods are ok Urmstongran

Keep warm, dry and safe Goodmorningers x

Mommawolf Thu 20-Feb-20 07:43:53

Back again to rant if I may, just feeding critters when heard awful screaming. Rushed to field to find smiler the goat had a young couple trapped against a hedge. Seems they had spent the night camping in the bottom meadow and were looking for water. Poor girl was terrified we gave them tea and some breakfast and DH explained gently that there is no open access to working farmland. He is now hunting through our insurance papers to see how we stand if someone is hurt on our land. This oftan happens in the summer months even though we have no access signs posted everywhere. Sorry to rant. I don't want someone getting hurt.

brook2704 Thu 20-Feb-20 07:41:46

Good morning to all on GN ! it’s another wet cold day in the north of Scotland
Hopefully I’ll be off to a nice easy class at the gym later then coffee and catch up with a friend.
Hope everyone has the best possible day - enjoy ?

Sark Thu 20-Feb-20 07:35:53

Good Morning from a bright Oxfordshire.
I don't think it will last though as we have heavy rain forecast from 9am.
Just the usual work day for me but it goes quickly as Thursday is my busiest day. It is half term so I would rather be at home with
daughters and grandchildren.
Best wishes to all smile

Curlywhirly Thu 20-Feb-20 07:33:11

Sorry, forgot to wish everyone a good day!
