Good Morning Sunday

Good morning from a very breezy and wet mid-Notts. QuaintIrene you are in my thoughts - a sad day for you. We managed football yesterday so will need a quiet-ish day today as I probably overdid things a bit. Marydoll I hope I'm not going to turn into a bridezilla too!! I think 82 days to go - DOH is keeping check for some reason!! Wishing the gillybob the very best for tomorrow. Everyone have the best Sunday possible x

Sorry my last post was for Jan16

Enjoy! - wish it was me

Good morning from a damp grey Essex. Had a lovely day yesterday as met DD in London to see the musical "Waitress". Didn't realise how much I would enjoy it as such a poignant story but very funny in parts and the music and songs were fabulous. We went for a pizza afterwards and I got home around 9pm. A day of housework today and general tidying before the week starts over again! Looking forward to Sunday night TV, especially return of Last Tango in Halifax.
forQuaintIrene and ?for everything to go well for Gillybobs tomorrow xxx

Good morning from the NE coast where we have a damp start to Sunday but at least it’s not raining for now.

Just want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone continuing to keep my DH in their thoughts and prayers . No news is good news so hoping it all goes ahead as planned tomorrow and that he will soon be back home . It terrifies me to think about what happened last time .

DD is bringing little Evie over to see grandad later and DS is calling round with his 3 too which will be chaotic but lovely .

I managed to get some material for DGD2’s cushion that she is making at school and sent her a few photos of various patterns . Needless to say she chose the loudest pattern available which is A black background with shocking pink flamingos . It wouldn’t be my first choice for a cushion but she’s 12 and apparently flamingos are “really cool” right now .

I am so sorry you have lost your much loved cat QuaintIrene . A sad day for you .

Sorry to learn that Annsixty has been upset on another thread. Thank you for letting us know Marydoll . I don’t know what thread it was or what has happened, but she really mustn’t leave Gransnet she would be sorely missed.

Thinking of all those feeling sad or poorly today and wishing us all some much needed

Love Gillybob xx

Good morning from windy and wet Hampshire. Could be worse - at least it isn’t dark, dank and dreary! The sky seems to be a little lighter this morning. The camellia and rhododendron in the garden are beginning to bloom, along with the daffodils and cyclamen. The blackbird was singing sweetly this morning too. Not bad in the middle of a very densely populated town.

QuaintIrene your little love was next to her Mum at the end. So sad for you but after the tears you’ll have all the memories. Good morning all. We’ll not watch the Rugby live, we’re going to take our Kayak out in the warm sunshine and then lunch on the café deck. So sad for everyone with persistent storms and flooding and greyness every day. But it will go, the clear skies and fluffy clouds will bring Spring and a positive new start for those struggling with illness or loss. Wishing you all a good Sunday!

We are in Southampton ready for our cruise to the Canaries. Just wish it wasn’t quite so windy!

Aw QuaintIrene at least she died peacefully snuggled up to her Mum, exactly where she wanted to be. Bless. Take care

Good morning all from a breezy and damp Glasgow. Mick, what a disappointment your flea market was yesterday. I noticed that my neighbour was away at 6am in this morning to the big flea market in Glasgow, she gets amazing bargains and then re-sells on Ebay!

A quiet day in for me, no church and DH has kindly gone for the papers, (my job on a Sunday), I'm just going to chill. However, that plan may go awry, as I'm sure Bridezilla ??will turn up with some panic or other, that she will expect me to sort out. (immediately)
She was too quiet yesterday, an ominous sign.

Susan, I hope you are OK after your fall, that was the last thing you needed after everything else you have had to deal with.
I have to admit to not being a cat lover, (I'm terrified of them), but I can understand how sad you must be at the loss of your beloved companion, Quaint Irene. .

Praying that all goes well for the Gillybobs tomorrow and all the poorly patients in the sick bay have a restful day today.
A quick mention for Annsixty, who was very upset by another thread yesterday and talking of leaving GN. I hope today is a better day.?

Enjoy your day everyone.

Good morning everyone from South Manchester where it’s wet and miserable. A morning of reading the papers before going over to our daughter’s mid afternoon to eat, picking up my stepfather en route. I had the wee dram with him yesterday and he looked washed out and old with a cough which has apparently disturbed his sleep. I said I’d ring him to see how he feels today as he might be best just resting.

whywhywhy you sound particularly down. Just to let you know that Anniebach runs a thread called the ‘Black Dog Gang’ or similar name. You might find support and sharing there to help you?

Sad news I think about your little cat QuaintIrene. She was much loved and the next few days will doubtless be difficult for you. ?

NfkDumpling somehow I missed you had been to Uganda! Did you post about it? What did you think of the place? It’s somewhere that wouldn’t cross my mind for a holiday I must admit.

Thinking especially of the gillybobs today and hope that Sunday is kind and peaceful for us all, whether we have any plans or none. x

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning Michael, Annie, and all, from a wet and windy Berks.
I thought of you Mick, last week, when our local Freecycle had quite a few maps on offer!
We are off to Church later, DH is doing the AV, but we will have to go a longer way round as some roads are closed in readiness for a half marathon. Don't envy them one bit.
Straight after Church, we are off to DD & SIL for lunch, so I have made a plum and apple crumble to take for pud. Fruit courtesy of the freezer.
Yesterday I chose new frames for some specs. It took ages, as I don't know whether the assistant was new, or just very thorough. She seemed to check each and every step of the process. Then the card machine was playing up. Weonly just got back to the car with minutes to dpare before the parking ticket ran out.
Thinking of the Gillybobs all day today and ? that all will be well for tomorrow.
Susan hope you are soon feeling better, and to QuaintIrene
Have a good day one and all.

Good morning from a windy damp Glasgow with patchy blue skies at the moment. Snow, hail and high winds yesterday.

So sorry to hear about your cat QuaintIrene. It’s awful when they go.

I like the sound of your pottery class Grammaretto. I would love to join you if I lived just a bit closer.

No plans today but hopefully out for a walk later if the weather holds.

everything crossed for you both gilly??

Have a pleasant day all.

QuaintIrene I know how hard it is.
Good morning all from blustery N Bucks. Rubbish night - was it the wind? Still awake at 2, got up to make hot milk, slept till 5, awake again nodded off, confident the alarm would wake me at 7.30. It didn’t. Slept through until 8.30 instead.
Off to London to see the DDs and little ones but am chickening out of driving as the forecast is for (even) more high winds and rain .
Wishing you a peaceful Sunday, fingers crossed for Mr Gillybob’s op and commiserations to all with aches, pains or sorrows.

Thank you for all the kind messages yesterday; still feeling bruised, but am trying the Deep Heat. It smells really strong and the cats seem to be attracted to it! I don't know what it is, but all my family seem prone to falling over - my three sisters have all had broken bones (as have I), and my brother has been diagnosed with dyspraxia and feels unsteady on his feet. Hope that you are feeling better soon, Susan. Take it easy for a few days if you can.
So sorry to hear about your little cat, QuaintIrene.

Good morning Mick et al from a soggy East Mids.
Irene I’m sorry to hear about little cat, you obviously love her very much.

Off to visit DM today. She’s not well.

Have a good day one and all, and for those with troubles, have a restful day x

Good Morning Mick and everyone.
Heavy rain and high wind overnight again here on our battered S Welsh coast. The rain had abated but it is still blowing a gale.
Little planned for today other than some lamb to cook later.
Take care of yourself Susan, glad there are no broken bones, but a fall leaves you very shaken.

Quaintirene, I'm very sorry about your little cat, our pets are precious family too. ?
Thinking of the gillybobs and hope that Mr G's operation goes ahead tomorrow.

Good morning from North Yorkshire. It’s dull and grey here but not too windy just yet.
The road to the next town is closed again due to flooding. This is the third time in 2 weeks, as many times as in the 11 years I have lived here. The fields are flooded so crops will be damaged. I had a very long detour yesterday to meet up with friends to go to see 1917.
Today it’s ironing, murder mystery afternoon tea and pub quiz.
Quaintirene sorry to hear about your cat.
Thinking of Gilly and her DH and all those unwell or struggling.
Hope today is kind to everyone.

It’s a damp and cold Sunday morning in Cheshire. Spoke to my brother who is a farmer in Shropshire this morning and it’s bad for them this makes winter even worse for farmers.

I’m suffering ( a week now) with jetlag, any tips would be welcome!

So sorry to hear about your cat QuaintIrene ?

Good morning to everyone from the Scottish Borders where at least the birds think it's Spring. I was awoken at 4.30 and they were already busy.

Sorry to hear about your little cat QuaintIrene. At least she was beside you and at peace.
Sorry too about your ankle Susan My knee has recovered from a silly fall 3 weeks ago. I treated it with wondergel. Rest and more rest is my prescription.

My pottery club is growing and at least 2 are coming today.

An anxious week ahead with family and friends moving and having interviews. However there is the St Andrews meetup to look forward to if it's not cancelled by snow.....

I shall be rooting for the Gillybobs tomorrow.

Good morning from a wet NE, does not sound so windy though.
Family are visiting this afternoon, GD will be wanting her laptop back now that it is fixed.
DD starts her new job tomorrow, she has now lived and worked in Brussels for ten years.
My cousin, with brain tumour, is losing her eyesight so my sister and I are arranging a visit as soon as possible.
Thinking of the gillybobs.

Good morning all from a very wet and windy Northampton. I am getting fed up with it now. At least I don't have to go out today, and am thankful we haven't had to suffer the floods.
Stayed in yesterday, watching rugby, reading and then watched the last couple of recordings on my BT box. DD and her husband are coming next weekend to install the new one.
My Avon lady made her final delivery yesterday; she has been coming round for several years, and has decided to cut down on her commitments. I shall be sorry; used to look forward to browsing through the book every month, and really liked some of the products. I can order on line, but it's not the same.
No plans for today apart from watching ? again, reading the weekend papers and doing the puzzle pages. The big match for me is on at lunchtime! My team, Saints, are playing away at Exeter, so will be watching from behind the sofa...
Hope things go well for all today.

Good Morning from a very windy and rainy Black Country.

Partners cycle ride is cancelled yet again. Third Sunday in a row. Not so important though seeing others suffering in the floods.

Another day indoors, catching up on jobs, and start to think about making a list for packing as we go away 11th March to Lanzarote. Perhaps catch sum there.

So sorry QuaintIrene

Sorry to hear of your fall too Susan sounds like you need to rest for a while.

Best wishes to gilly and her DH, so hoping it all goes ahead tomorrow.

Ah poor you QuaintIrene. Your lil cat had lovely cuddles before she left you ❤️. Very wet and windy here in the Suffolk Coast. We’ve had a lovely week here (apart from the weather) and are heading back to Essex today. Hope the Orwell Bridge will be open as it’s been closed in these high winds and the traffic through Ipswich can be nose to tail. Perhaps we’ll leave it til tomorrow. We never want to leave but we have family and friends to see and appointments to get to. God willing we’ll be back in a couple of weeks. Good wishes to all
