Good Morning Sunday

Charleygirl

It would be funny if it weren’t so serious .

Good morning all,

It’s a lovely sunny but chilly morning here. I’ve got some washing on the go so should be able to get it out to dry later.

Another quiet day in store - our usual treat of going to the nearby garden centre to enjoy lunch in its cafe and buy some plants is off the cards for the foreseeable future. We didn’t go every single Sunday, but quite often. They are going to be hit hard by this as business was always brisk.

I’m going to have a go at setting zoom up on my iPad this afternoon, ready for the virtual Pilates sessions starting next week.

Glad to read that you are feeling better today, Marydoll.

Take care everyone. ?

Thanks Marydoll for thinking of me specially with all you have had to put up with. My husband is still in isolation in hospital, we speak on the phone but still don’t know what is really wrong, pneumonia was mentioned, quite possible as he has COPD and breathing problems., My family are not near but chat on the phone now and then and text, I think our June wedding is postponed. A friend just said what a Bummer Mother’s Day......got to agree,
Cheers all x

Good morning everyone from a cold but Spring-like day here in the Gower.
Happy Mother's Day ? to all mums and Grandmas, have a good a day as you can
Woke up to photos of drawings done by my 3 lovely Ggns, I'm very touched.
Lamb casserole for dinner ? later. I might try and get on with my art work, though it's hardly a work of art!
Glad you are feeling better Marydoll, take care x
Sending well wishes to your husband Meg's ❤️
Look after yourselves everyone

Just come in from a neighbourly coffee morning in our close all standing 2 metres apart with our own beverage of choice. Good to see people, chat about trivia and be glad to be out in the sunshine even if in the road. We will need lots more initiatives of this kind!

My friend next door but one is self isolating on orders from her GP son since she is prone to bronchitis, which brings home how seriously we need to take this, and how much more severe restrictions are likely to become.

Good morning , it's a beautiful sunny day, blue skies, a bit chilly. Marydoll,I hope you are feeling better today I hope everyone is having a lovely Mother's Day xx Take care folks and keep smiling xx

Mothering Sunday roast dinner courtesy of our village pub!
Takeaway, brought out to me in the carpark, in case anybody thinks Maw is down the boozer (again)
While chocolate cheesecake to follow - oh and as much again going into the fridge for Mithering Monday.
A cheeky Chapel Down rosé to wash it down - what’s not to like?

White chocolate, but who cares?

That looks like the size of my dinners, MawB. Hearty, I call them but do nothing for your thumb joints while carrying them

Mmn! I could just tuck into that Maw!

Eggs, yes. I hear chickens clucking every morning not far up the road from me---I must get chatting to the owners !

Good Morning Mick What a nice site this is. I have just been looking at the other Grandsnet site and felt very sad so much nastiness and self opinionated people. May I ask if you were a club cyclist as I was.

I have just had a lovely surprise!
DS1,DIL and DDG on her trike have just arrived at the bottom of our drive with flowers and chocolates.
I looked across the road and my friend's son was doing exactly the same thing. ?
It was totally surreal.

What a lovely treat for you, Marydoll and a very well-deserved one too !

What a lovely surprise Marydoll - very well deserved x

Fab' surprise Marydoll, clearly from a loving family to a special lady ❤️

Our local DD came round with one of our DGD. We were all in the garden, way apart, while DGD cavorted about well away from us. Then. . .next door Neighbour mowed his lawn! So had to have quick chats in between pauses. I shouted we were glad when he finished. ?
We were going to a local cafe for afternoon tea yesterday for Mother’s Day. We cancelled that, of course, as well as a pub meal next Saturday for our Golden Wedding with DD2 from Yorks who won’t be coming-her DH is on the front line, poor man.
We did online church-it was very good. Realistic but very uplifting too!

My DS and family arrived with their own picnic and sat outside in their car with windows open! I sat on my doorstep and there was lots of blown kisses and virtual hugs. DGSs thought it was great fun!
A memorable Mother's Day in more ways than one xxxx

Conor how lovely was that! Our younger son came to our house for a Mother's Day meal, his older brother was not able to come as he has a wife and children and we couldn't really do distance contact with them. So we sat at one end of our dining room table (it is quite long and seats 8) and he sat at the other end. He wasn't allowed in the kitchen and there were no hugs or kisses. Very strange, but we managed to make it work and to keep our distance!

Maw, that roast dinner looks delicious!
I had roast chicken - Sainsbury's does a mini chicken breast roast for two, so I did that today and will have enough left over for another couple of meals. Planning on doing a big casserole with the leftovers as I have plenty of veg.
And I think my rose was Portuguese (not Mateus!).
