Good morning from east London, bright and sunny outside. Tennis at lunchtime today and this evening, a stand up comedy show in town. Had quite a big response yesterday after putting late BIL’s car up for sale; thankfully DD’s partner went thro them all and sorted out a realistic purchaser, trolls seem to be everywhere. Have a good day.

Good morning to all from a sunny south west London. Got to make soup this morning,and go to my sewing class this afternoon. Book group this evening, quite a busy day. I was sorry to read about the nasty comments on good morning Sunday, it's obviously been taken down as I couldn't find it yesterday. Have a good day everyone.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Dreary but dry in South Yorkshire. I have been awake half the night and feel as if I have been run over by a bus! DH is cheery and full of beans! He’s singing!! We cannot possibly have singing this early in the morning! Nothing much planned today except to walk down to the supermarket and buy some bread, and custard tarts to take over when we do the school run later. Have the happiest day you can, and hugs to all who are struggling.

Good morning everyone from Malaga where it’s sunny but very windy. The palm trees are dancing like crazy!

I hope it calms down by 2pm as Mondays = my ladies group at a buzzy local bar = wine + tapas + friendship. My favourite afternoon of the week ha!
???

Hope your swollen eye continues to settle down Susan56 its often the way once we make an appointment isn’t it?!

Sensible I think GG13 to perhaps attend the gym less - age & asthma are a consideration aren’t they?

kitty you made me laugh about the choice of colour for your new carpet! Your husband doesn’t really stand a chance there.
?

Marydoll your comment is unsettling to say the least. I hope issues get sorted pronto.

gillybob I will pop back later to see how things are in your household. Did you get your tooth/mouth sorted in the end? I recall you’d had 3 courses of different antibiotics.

Hopefully Monday will be kind to us all whether we have any plans or none. x

Good morning Mick and the GM team, welcome to Mattie and Cherry.
It’s bright and sunny in east London today.

We are back to the vets for a third time with our poor ex-stray.

We moved him in with us in December and he was just settling in nicely. Then he was attacked by a big Tom cat, in our garden, sustained a nasty injury and has spent the week wearing an Elizabethan collar. I hope the vet says it can be removed today, because it’s been quite difficult for him to cope.

Have a good day all, good thoughts to Ella, Gilly, Mary and Dragonfly and to all those who are facing challenges today. Cross your fingers for Ollie and his collar, please ?

Good morning Mick and everyone. Yes, the moon was beautiful last night in the clearest indigo sky here in Cheshire. A bright sunny sky now, but a few clouds scurrying in from the west.

Welcome to Mick's gentle thread, *grandMattie and CherryCezzy. Have fun with your old school friend Sark, I expect you'll find plenty to giggle about. Better to get your eye checked Susan56, don't take chances with your eyes.

I'm off for a walk in the woods at 9. Others walk their dogs, I just kick balls and cones for them to chase after. The dogs that is.

Best wishes to the poorly ones and those with cares. Enjoy your day everyone.

Good morning Mick and all his followers.
A beautiful moonlit night and now wall to wall sunshine in Suffolk. I know there will be rain eventually but it does seem a bit better.
Son checked last night that we were ok for DGC duty today. First we knew about it! Happily we were not booked for anything.
I hope Monday is good to everyone.

Marydoll Mon 09-Mar-20 08:00:11

Good morning all from a rainy Glasgow, welcome to Mick's lovely thread, *grandMattie and CherryCezzy

It was a day of mixed emotions yesterday. A very close friend messaged me to say that her special needs son was failing and she had been called to the hospital. A very sad day for me.

Another special friend appeared with wedding gift for DD and we spent hours putting the world to rights.
All the plans went out the window.

I'm sorry to say this, but there was another upsetting post last night on the Good Morning Sunday thread, as some of you will know already. I finding it very difficult to make sense of it all and it's not a nice feeling.
This is meant to be a happy, welcoming thread.
Suffice to say I have alerted GNHQ to it, hoping they will get to the bottom of it.

Best wishes to all who are struggling and there are many on GN. ?

Have the best day you can.

Good Morning from a bright and sunny Fife. Make the most it's to rain later! Welcome to you both * GrandMattie and CherryCezzy*, enjoy this pleasant thread. DH has hospital appointment today so apart from that not much planned. Had a good weekend with unexpected visit from DD and DGS's. Today seems to be a busy day for a few of you. Enjoy and to those with worries we are all thinking of you. Take care.

Morning Mick, morning All from a bright, sunny corner of Somerset. Rain due back at lunch time so out for a walk on the beach this morning. Bit of sorting this afternoon, dvds were culled yesterday, on to craft stuff today, there’s a lot that never sees the light of day now Hope Monday is kind to everyone, especially those with worries of any kind. .

harrigran Mon 09-Mar-20 07:49:00

Good morning from a bright NE.
Very disappointed to learn last night that the direct flight from Brussels to Newcastle will cease in two weeks time.
DD will not be able to visit so easily.
New dishwasher is working well but the integrated door is catching on other units so will have to be realigned.
Nothing planned for today so can hopefully look for a man to put the kitchen in order.
Thinking of all those with troubles.

kittylester Mon 09-Mar-20 07:48:57

Morning all from North Leicestershire where is it drizzling.

We got the curtains up yesterday so now the 'negotiations' for the carpet begin. Dh favours a dark one - he's wrong! grin

This afternoon I am off to Derby to see the children after school and to be with them until DD arrives. Actually, the only one who takes any notice of me is the dog!!

Hoping everyone with buggerations of any sort finds some relief today.

Susan56 Mon 09-Mar-20 07:34:08

Good morning from the Shropshire borders.Its dry at the moment.We have the window fitters here again today to fit the final window so hoping the rain holds off until they have finished??
Have an appointment at the opticians this afternoon to get my swollen eye looked at.Typically it seems slightly better today?
Welcome to GrandMattie and CherryCezzy??
Wishing everyone a good day with special thoughts to Ellan,Mary,gilly,dragonfly and anyone else with sickness or worries.

Good Morning Mick and all.
There was a beautiful full moon last night with a clear sky, it was like daylight.
Maybe a gentle walk later.
Welcome to grandMattie and CherryChezzy.
Hope everyone will have a good day.

Goodmorning Mick and all x

Blue sky here in S E Essex, not sure if I am going to the gym this morning I am beginning to take this Covid-19 virus slightly more seriously, and not sure if a crowded gym is the safest place for an over sixty year old with asthma? ( we have a case confirmed a couple of miles down the road)

Welcome grandMattie

Keep safe folks x

Morning All

Well, it was a lovely morning when I got up with the sun rising behind next door’s house. Now it’s raining. April showers come early.

Off to the Stately Pile today for a spot of volunteering. I can’t keep away for long.

Look after yourselves everyone.

brook2704 Mon 09-Mar-20 07:22:00

Good morning everyone from another cold bright morning in Inverness
Spent most of yesterday tidying up in the garden and I even managed to get some washing dry !
I’m off to the gym this morning then a bit of shopping. Maybe out to the local garden centre for a little treat this afternoon ?
Take care everyone especially those with worries and struggles ?

Grammaretto Mon 09-Mar-20 07:12:41

Good morning Mick and all from the Scottish Borders. It's bright and light but still too chilly for outdoor work sitting in the sun
Roll on those days please and when all this pandemic mania is passed.
A new French Helper (we host volunteers) is due later so I'll have to prepare her room. She wants to speak English - not sure why she's chosen Scotland smile
Have a lovely day everyone and a big welcome to all the newbies on here.
Beechnut when you've done yours - when can you come and do mine?

Gingster Mon 09-Mar-20 07:05:45

Morning all. Up earlier than usual. I woke at about 5 and couldn’t get back to sleep so eventually got up and made a cuppa. Sitting in conservatory with pooch snoozing. A nice bright start in Essex and heading up to the Suffolk coast after the morning rush. We.ll stay for about a week - a nice break after a hectic few weeks here. . Had all the family for lunch yesterday which was lovely and jolly. Wishing all a happy and safe day.

NanKate Mon 09-Mar-20 06:57:20

Morning Mick and All.

I can see the sun rising, yippee here in South Bucks.

A warm welcome GrandMattie and CherryCezzy to Mick’s friendly thread. We are getting larger by the day.

Enjoy your walk NannyJ. We are in recovery mode after looking after the DGSs last week. We are back in charge from Wednesday, it’s all go.

?and hugs to the poorly folk.

Sark Mon 09-Mar-20 06:53:46

Good Morning. Dry here in Oxfordshire.
Welcome GrandMattie
I have the day off today and am meeting an old school friend who I haven't seen for nearly 40 years. We were very close in primary school but not at all in secondary school so I am feeling a bit anxious about it!
Wishing everyone a good Monday and thinking of all with worries

Scentia Mon 09-Mar-20 06:51:10

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire. Looks damp and threatening to be damper out there!
Normal work day for me after a lovely weekend. DH ran in a 10k yesterday and I have decided to go fo a run and try my foot out tomorrow, I feel that if it hurts when I don’t run I may as well run! (Wonder how that will pan out!!!)
Welcome to our new posters. Hoping that everyone has a good day today and manages just a chink of happiness if nothing else.❤️

NannyJan53 Mon 09-Mar-20 06:44:31

Good Morning from a grey but dry Black Country. It was a mostly sunny day yesterday, and managed to clean the outside windows and surrounds outside whilst DP was on a cycle ride with his club.

Walking for Health walk this morning, where we all gather in the activity centre in the park afterwards and make ourselves a cuppa and a chat.

No plans for the afternoon, so will play it by ear.

Welcome to this thread grandMattie and Cherrycezzy everyone is very friendly here.

Wishing you all a good day, with special thoughts to gilly Dragonfly and Marydoll

Beechnut Mon 09-Mar-20 06:39:45

Welcome CherryCezzy in case I didn’t say it when you popped in before ?

BlueSapphire Mon 09-Mar-20 06:37:28

Good morning, Mick, grandMattie and all to come. Dry here in Northampton too. Welcome Mattie.
Yoga this morning followed by coffee and a nice chat. Did not manage to get to the paper shop yesterday to pay my bill so will do that today.
Bit of pottering this afternoon, and then get on with my book club book.
Wishing all a good day.
