Good Morning Thursday

Onward and upward, Baggs. Glad to hear your shoulder is improving!

Good morning - currently sat in the waiting room for my final hospital appointment of the week. Then hopefully DOH and I going out for breakfast (if I'm not too long that is!!). May Thursday be kind to us all x

Morning, folks! Back to damp in Argyll. Well, it has been damp all along; we rarely get actual dry. But there's damp and DAMP. The last few weeks have been of the latter variety.

Meanwhile, in other news, I reckon that from today I might be able to sup the top half of a mug of tea using my left (and usual) hand to hold the mug. I'll still need to do the more serious mug-tipping right-handedly for a while.

Hope as many as possible have Happy Thursdays.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Maple has our weather spot on this morning - I’d hoped to get some laundry out today.
We spent yesterday looking at furniture, and are going to spend today looking at furniture, and then there will be another tussle about what can be fitted into the living room and what cannot! My cup runneth over!
DH was waiting for a football match on tv to kick off yesterday between one of our local teams and Man City when he called me into the room and there was our GS on the tele! He was taking photos of the players, and was on camera for quite a few seconds. His mum missed it!
Have the best day you can, folks.

Wet again in our bit of North Somerset. Some consistent dry weather would be so very welcome. Hairdresser shortly, supermarket shop, choir practice and then this evening local history society, so a busy day.

Hope that all our posters with fragile health steer clear of the dreaded virus. It does start to look as though more draconian measures restricting normal life will soon be called for. I wonder how the cult of the individual will respond if that happens.

Just read your post Ellen I am so sorry to hear about your GGC’s father.

Good morning from grey Leicestershire. Not posted for a while as latest treatment made me feel really yuk!

Hoping to see friends for coffee this morning if I can summon up the energy.

Missed your post yesterday Ellen hope you are okay.
Sending love to Marydoll and Gilly. More scans tomorrow I believe.

Good morning from a grey drizzly Essex. Just the sort of morning for the children to walk to school all dressed up for World Book Day! I have got my outfit ready as have the same one for its annual outing and volunteering in school all day so don't want to be the only one not dressed up!! Wishing those with worries or troubles a better day xxxx

Good morning all,

It's slightly musty, grey and frosty this morning.
Car is in for its service today - should have been done when it had its MOT but they forgot to add that in the diary.

Pilates today. My friend is kindly driving us this week and collecting me from the garage before we go.

Had a good day out yesterday with two friends, shopping and lunch. I was looking for some dressy trousers to wear to a wedding in May, but couldn't find anything suitable. May have to resort to a dress, but the trouble is, it won't get as much wear as trousers will after the wedding. Oh well, I'll keep looking. My friends had better luck with their shopping. ?
Sending best wishes to all who are unwell or feeling sad today. ?

Morning Michael, Annie and all, from a very grey Berks.
I am just finishing my first cup of tea in bed, but must get up soon, as I have a Dr's appointment at 10.00 am. It is just for my VitB12 injection, so hope it gives me a bit more get up and go, at least for a while. Then an hour later, DH is there!

I didn't get to 'sign in' yesterday, so missed any news from Gillybob, if there was any. Hope all is well with them and also with Marydoll, Dragonfly and all who are suffering from Kittylester's Buggerations (Kitty, I sometimes now use your expression, much to the bemusement of DH)

Bluebelle love the fact that you enjoy your voluntary work, I do too, and Tuesday afternoons are lovely.

We are working our way through a large bottle of hand sanitiser, so as we have some vodka, I may think about making some more, if I can find the recipe.

Have a good day one and all.

Good Morning All x
May I first thank everyone for their thoughts posted yesterday, as it does help so much at times when you think you're alone with your sorrow. x

It's a bright crisp morning here by the riverside with white roofs dotted here and there. Once upon a time weather like this used to kill off all the bugs.

Had a visit yesterday from D and 3 GGC which was nice, though the 9 year old suddenly broke down wanting his dad which was upsetting for him and for us to see too so I diverted his attention to ask what he had in his " man bag ".
It was typical of a young boys pockets---loose change, the odd sweets and some stones of all shapes sizes and colours, no creepies/ frogs or dried-up worms I'm glad to say.

I want to finish cleaning the kitchen today then I'll start on the bathroom. No shopping to do so I can just crack on without breaking off ( famous last words ) I'm expecting a parcel at some point as well so I'll be here to receive it.

I hope everyone's staying well. I don't want to hear of anyone coughing and sneezing etc. My thoughts to Marydoll, Dragonfly and the Gillybob's and others who've got their problems and issues.xx
Urmstongran, enjoy the warmth of that sun in lovely Malaga and surrounding areas there.

Good morning all from a very wet Torbay it has been raining most of the night, Got up and made a cup of tea and brought it back to bed, nothing planned for today maybe some baking later.
Had a lovely meet up earlier in the week with lovely Gransnetters.
Wishing all as good a day as possible.

Good morning from a damp, dismal Colchester. I was contemplating Genesis tickets Sar53. Will have to be Monday night as trains from here are rubbish on Sundays. I have just paid out for Wimbledon tickets and so finances may be stretched....under an hour to decide!

Good Morning Mick and all. Cold and damp on the S Welsh coast.
DH going out for lunch with volunteering colleagues at the NT property where he is a volunteer.

DS was on one of the last Flybe flights from Edinburgh into Cardiff last night, he was lucky to get home. I feel sorry for those whose flights are cancelled, the company have gone into administration.

Having DH's late parents' home valued at 9 am, so better get moving. Best wishes to all who are struggling for whatever reason.

Good morning all. Greetings from Cumbria. Looks dry and bright outside but cold! Still in bed! Have as good a day as possible everyone.

Morning everyone! It's a cold and windy, but dry day in Cheshire. I'm just waiting for the 2 GC to be dropped off by DIL and then it's the mad run to 2 schools in opposite directions! Hope everyone's day goes as planned.

Good morning from Kent.
There is a low mist over the marsh and a very grey sky.
DH is will be out helping a friend with a DIY job this morning and DS is out all day. So maybe a bit of spring cleaning is called for.
Have a good day and if your sick, get well soon.

Yes Essex is dreary today, GrannyGravy. Good luck with Lakeside! ?. Taking twin grandsons to the Orthodontist this morning, as their mum is working. One already has his brace on, the other one waiting to have 2 teeth removed, and just found out the clinic he was referred to don’t take patients under 16, so having waited 3 months already, he has to be referred to another one 20 miles away. It’s another 6 months wait. ?. Deep breaths. Have a peaceful day everyone.

Good Morning from another cloudy Black Country.

Partner is working from home today, as his company car is being collected. It was supposed to be Tuesday, but they cancelled.

I am off to the gym shortly. They have antiseptic wipes provided, and I will be wiping down before I use any equipment. A quick scout around in a few shops at Merry Hill yesterday found all shelves empty of antibacterial gel! At least I managed to treat myself to 2 new tops, a lightweight jacket and some underwear. Still not sure if we should fly to Lanzarote next Wednesday.

Then I had a request to collect youngest DGD from school this afternoon, as SIL has a Doctors appointment at 3.30. They live 40 minutes drive away, so will pop to Mums as she lives 10 minutes drive away, and go out to lunch in DD's village.

My DGD's always manage to spin an extra 30 minutes or so when I am babysitting NanKate, I am a soft touch

Good luck with the decorating Kitty I'm sure it will be worth all the hassle when it is completed.

It is lovely to hear of someone enjoying their job BlueBell, even though it is unpaid. I couldn't wait to retire and leave mine!

Wishing you all a lovely day, with special thoughts for Marydoll Gilly and Dragonfly

Good morning everyone from a damp and dull Northampton; no frost here today.

Actually managed to give the back grass its first cut of the year yesterday morning and then spent an hour or so tidying up unruly shrubs, and filled a large garden waste bin. And then in the afternoon we had heavy rain, so I was glad that I hadn't ventured out on a health walk.

A morning of pottering, and ballet class after lunch, then pick up DGD from school.

Best wishes to all for a good day.

Morning All

Grey and a little damp here in the north of Norfolk. I’m missing Mommawolf’s report of how the weather is in her bit of Norfolk.

Luckily it’s dry so our recycling bin has been emptied. The bin lorry ate it’s lid a few weeks back and we still haven’t go a new one. It means getting up and dressed very early for me to get the bin out from under cover before they come.

I shall be picking up a small astronaut from school this afternoon. No idea what book it is but I expect I shall be told in great detail.

Morning Mick and all who follow!
We are waiting for our new window this morning.
Tomorrow is the last bit of plastering and painting then our dining room will finally be finished!
Village coffee this morning and then off to see Fishermen’s Friends tonight
Hope today is kind to everyone.

Goodmorning Mick and all x

Grey here in S E Essex, we are forecast rain!!

I have to go to Lakeside today, to take back a watch for the third time, I am getting a little bit cross now!!! Then I shall tackle the ironing pile.

Good luck Sar53 with the tickets, I love Genesis and was thinking about trying to get a couple of tickets myself.

Thinking of all Goodmorningers with troubles x

Good morning from a wet Bristol, two days of sun and now its hiding again. Weather is restricting my walks and its making me lazy.
Just a food shop today and some house work.
I hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning from a very bright frosty NE.
Prescription to collect this morning.
We now have isolation pods at our local hospital and an office block has been closed at the business park beside us.
Thinking of all the poorly people.
