Good Morning Sunday

Good morning everyone from a lovely sunny ?morning in Northampton.

Beechnut, thinking of you on this bittersweet day and try to celebrate the happy times you had with your DH.. Sapphire is 45 isn't it?

Had a visit from DDil and DGDs yesterday morning (plus dog), and we chatted and waved through the porch door glass.

Noticed I had a radiator with a slight drip of water coming from it, so went on Youtube to find out how to turn it off. Seems to have worked as it stays cold when I put the heating on. Shall get it replaced when all this is over. Keeping my fingers crossed.

There is talk of a neighbourhood socially isolated drink in our front gardens today - waiting to find out when. Then an afternoon sitting in the back garden with the cats. They enjoyed their outing yesterday afternoon.

Playing Trivial Pursuit with the family tonight via WhatsApp - if it works! Should be fun!

Hope we can all enjoy the sunshine.

Hello Ciat and a very warm welcome to this lovely gransnet site. What a long way you are from us in the U.K. the sun is shining and I’m so looking forward to having breakfast in the garden, overlooking the North Sea. BUT that bitter wind is still with us here in Suffolk. Never mind we’ll try to find a sheltered spot and wear our coats and hats and pretend we’re warm. My God daughter was due to marry in May and has postponed it til December. As you say MARYDOLL , goodness knows what the weather will be like ?. Hope you get your money back. Beechnut have a gentle day. How many years is Saphire? ?

Good Morning All x
Beautiful start to the day albeit a bit on the breezy side but marvellous for the washing. Windows are a bit streaky looking when the sun's on them so that calls for a wipe down too.
Oh dear, I was going to break eggs with a big stick with this " lock-in " being in force----famous last words.

Reminds me of that little ditty---" She lay beneath the stars, and basked beneath the sun, lived a life of going to do and died with nothing done "----. I need a kick up the behind !

It's gone from breezy to rather blowy out there now, oh heck, the washing will be wrapping itself around the rotary. Who cares ? Some poor beggars haven't got the privilege of an outside ! I hope they're not tempted to roam around though tough as it is.

Promised to dig out my ancestry folder for D in Oz as she ponders once again to fathom out who's who. Good job it's all together in one place. She's emailed a pic of a family from the early to mid 1800's and it looks like the Adam's Family ---That'll keep me going !

Hope everyone's doing alright during these difficult times. I daren't think about not seeing all the children during the summer, it doesn't seem possible but I mustn't dwell on it as this is for everyone's sakes, family and beyond.

Had my navvie-type cuppa, strong enough to melt the teaspoon ! Now my stomach's growling for the crumpets.

Please stay safe and well everyone xx

Good morning all from N Bucks where Spring has definitely Sprung.
Garden again today - I weeded the borders yesterday, now a renewed onslaught with the power washer for the bit of the patio I didn’t finish before plus the front path.
DoraMarr welcome back to circulation (DizzyBlonde should be due for parole soon too) and just up the road from you my DD1 and her family are due to be out of quarantine tomorrow -DV!
Thoughts to Beechnut and to BlueSapphire last week - poignant memories I expect, these hard times don’t make it easier, do they?
Wishing you all a pleasant day.

??. I know that feeling well?

Oops wrong thread! I where am I? What day is this? lost the plot already!!!

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire, what a lovely sunny day out there already.
I went on my bike with DH in his 10mile run yesterday (I didn’t attach the dog!!) it was lovely and quiet everywhere. I will take the pooch on a walk later as my bum is a bit sore to do another bike ride!!
Baked (well, burned) some biscuits last night, burnt or not we are eating them as it was the last of my flour?
Beechnut??
Have a lovely day, people. Stay safe and here’s a big smile for you all?

? Beechnut and

Welcome Ciat , are you going to try the puzzle?

If you wish a chat, why not introduce yourself on the Good Morning, Sunday thread?

Hello I m ciata from Indiana

brook, thank you. It is a lot of money and we have managed to get some back, but we all saved so hard.
I'm hoping that she can use the money (if we get it back) to put it towards their new house fund.
DD hopes to get married quietly after lockdown and has booked a beautiful venue for a huge party in November, when she will wear her dress. (Why November? ???)
It was a former church, which is being transformed into a venue to hold functions.

Good morning from sunny Kent.

Several posts on our local FB pages about the amount of people on our beaches and open spaces
I'm planning lunch in the garden, that's as far as I'm going.
Stay safe everyone

Good Morning from a lovely and sunny Oxfordshire.
Just a pottering day today and roast chicken later.
I am hopeless at gardening but will do a bit. I am however very pleased that for the first time ever my potted camellia is in flower and full of buds.
Thinking of you Beechnut
Best wishes to all

Good morning Mick and all from a welcoming sunny start to the day in Glasgow.

Enjoy your meal tonight Beechnut ?

Waking up to a sunny morning makes me thankful we are going into summer and not winter as we all self isolate. At least at this time of year I can potter about outside with plenty to do in the garden and enjoy a daily walk in milder climes.

I have arranged Easter eggs to be delivered to GDs as we won’t be seeing them this year nor will I be hiding treats around the garden for their annual egg hunt at ours. However, they are happy and healthy which is more important. I keep reminding myself.

I’m hanging my head in shame after making a complete hash of yesterday’s puzzles Marydoll ?. Must try harder?

Have the best, hopefully sunny day you can everyone.

Thinking of you Marydoll with all that hassle trying to get your money back - how awful ☹️ Like you say nothing is ever made easy ....

Morning from Fife where the sun is out and looking outside at the moment is just so peaceful. We are prepared for a nice day and hoping to get a picnic out in our garden. Have many jobs to do today and one of them is batch cooking, 4 different meals I hope to achieve. Everything out the freezer last night so all is to hand. I'm hoping everyone is good, despite all our troubles. Keep your chin up, we will get through this.Hope you all have a wonderful day. Stay safe .

Good morning from a cloudy Co Antrim. As usual the warm sunny weather is forecast to be across the Irish Sea and I will try not to feel too envious reading future posts that mention it.
Yesterday morning my husband and daughter drove separately to our local Lidl shop just after it opened. She queued and he choose his tomato, cucumber and pepper plants which were in the entrance. She went inside, paid and put them in his boot. He drove home a very happy man as he loves his greenhouse. It certainly is a strange life at present. Hope Sunday goes as well as possible for my fellow Gransnet grannies.

Good morning everyone from the Scottish Borders where it is looking promising but I'm taking no chances thermal undies on
My body clock has reverted to a primitive state. I sleep when it's dark and wake with the dawn.

2 more birthdays today - my DS#1 and DGD . How sad not to be with them.

I will attempt some gardening today but I am being gentle with myself so will stop for frequent breaks. Now we are in the very high risk group we need to pace ourselves.
12 weeks is a long time.

Enjoy your freedom DoraMarr I can picture you skipping along the road.

As another poster reminded us "They can't cancel Spring!"

Good morning all, it's a lovely morning here in Glasgow, it's 6C, which is warm for here!

I too hope to get out in the garden for a potter, but as all our nurseries seem to be closed, no plant deliveries for us. . However, I'm hoping that soon will change. So many nurseries will go bust, if the government doesn't do something.
I may sow some salad leaf seeds for the kitchen window still, but have very little compost, as DH can't go for any.

The plan is I will have a wee seat on the bench in the front garden, in the hope that someone will pass, take pity on me and have a wee, social distancing shouting match chat. I think I may be losing my social skills. .

Yesterday was spent scanning wedding receipts and invoices to claim back from our credit card company, as the insurance company are dragging their heels. I spent ages sorting the online forms, only to find I had the wrong credit card company. The wedding was arranged two years ago and I had forgotten I changed cards. .
DH was upposed to do it, but he hadn't a clue what he was doing, he just provides the card and I use it! ?
After having a very long online chat with a lovely man, I came off the PC and couldn't remember a word he had said and how to access the online form request bit! ?
We now need to request an online statement from two years ago, so that I can access the necessary hyperlink . They certainly don't make it easy for you.

I received a delivery of meat from a Scottish online butcher's I had used years ago, the beef was of excellent quality and it came individually frozen and an added bonus of half price. We will be eating like kings, during this lockdown.
There was a slight problem, the freezer was very full and I wasted spent ages trying to cram it in.
I got it in, but heaven knows how I will get it out again!

I hope everyone has the best day they can in the circumstances.
Beechnut ?, (((hugs))) for Gilly and all who are having a rotten time of it just now.

Good morning from a lovely sunny morning in the NE, just about to put the kettle on and take our first cuppa of the day back to bed. Won’t be heading out today, we’ve limited ourselves to walking every other day. Our Sunday dinner came out of the freezer last night and last day of Lentil soup to be used for lunch, apart from roasting some veg, it’s good to know I won’t be cooking today. We have our Sunday what’s app quiz with the family tonight, it’s my turn to do the questions, just a few more to find, so that’s my task for this afternoon. Wishing everyone a safe and happy Sunday.

Good morning from East London , looks like a beautiful day . I’m going to tidy up the front garden today and maybe I’ll see some neighbours walking past for a chat at a safe distance of course ! I do miss the every day interaction with people . My DH used to be amazed at how long it took me to pop out and get a few things in the high street .

Good morning everyone from a lovely sunny Inverness morning - yes the sun has reached us at last !
I’ll be in the garden most of today trying to get rid of the moss in the lawn and general tidying up
Our water supply was unexpectedly cut off for a short time yesterday - oh what panic when you realise you’ve only got half a kettle full and 2 mini bottles of water in the cupboard... luckily it was back on before too long so we were fine !

Have the best day you can Beechnut and I’m with you Pantglas2 on the bed changing !

Enjoy your walk DoraMarr ?

Stay safe everyone ?

Good morning from a gloriously sunny Birmingham! I can go out for a walk today-quarantine over! I will have a Zoom meeting this afternoon, then I am going to roast my tiny chicken and have it with roast potatoes and spring greens. It will be wonderful to get out again!

Good morning from a bright NE.
Spent all day watching TV yesterday so will try and aim for somethind different today.
Now resorting to freezer meals, four slices of bread defrosting for breakfast and then maybe a piece of fish for lunch.
Hopefully get to sit in the garden today.
Have the best day you can.

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny Essex by the sea.
Gg13, apparently the council have suspended all parking on and around the seafront for the next few weeks, so hopefully no mass invasion.
We will take our normal walk along the sea wall where it is very quiet and peaceful.
Roast pork later, the Sunday papers and Sunday night tv.
Have the best day you can and stay safe xx
