Good Morning Everyone, Its a nice dry start to the day here in Brackley . Plans today, do a small shop , changing routine from my usual Friday shop, come back and lockdown in my flat. Maybe play a CD or two, watch TV . Computer wise I have downloaded and saved some steaming of Virtual Cycling events. Virtual seems to be a word which some sports can adapt , a form of simulating . Mick
A very late good morning from a sunny NE. Will sit in the garden and read this afternoon. DIL has sent a message to say they will WhatsApp video call this evening, be nice to see the GC. They have not got Easter eggs this year, to deliver them to their doorstep would mean a 45 minute drive and us falling foul of the lockdown rules. Can empathise with you gilly over the disturbed nights and toilet stops, like sleeping with a Jack in the box in our house. Have the best day you can.
Good morning everybody, especially our Mick who starts us all off. Annsixty I know just how you feel about people flaunting the lockdown rules. Both DS1 and DD reported neighbours having family get-togethers yesterday and it really upset me and made me want to throw my hands in the air and shout what's the point! Their selfishness and ignorance are very difficult to comprehend - and that's me trying to be nice!! But today's another day - and another day closer to the end of lockdown - and unusually for the Angus coast it's warm and balmy. So I started off with a set of tai chi by the pond and then took my breakfast outside too. That is definitely a first for me in the 23 years I've lived here! Best wishes to all for the happiest day you can manage. ,☀️??
Good morning from St.Andrews. Sunny , windy day here , my washing will be dry very soon . If I still had blankets to wash I would do them today , as my Granny would have said ' a braw day for blankets ! '
Morning everyone from a warm day here in the Gower. Susan great news about little Henry ?. I'm being sent a quote of the day every day, yesterday's quote had a similar message. It's adapted from an ancient philosophy. Something to heed on times to give ourselves time to breathe and stay off an urge to do more and be busy when sometimes we need to still ourselves and accept that we need to. I'm getting a bit concerned about the goings on with my next door neighbour. Her ex came yesterday and took the girls out for a few hours, something he has done a few times during this lockdown. She has also had visitors go inside the house, albeit quite brief visits, a couple of times this week. Neither my WP nor me feel we can say or do anything about it. I managed to take some pretty useful photographs yesterday to plan my sketch but then sat in the garden with a pot of tea and the sketching went out of the window ? I'm another one that thinks there is hardly anything inspiring on TV atm. I did watch Pilgrimage to Istanbul yesterday but it was more a case that it appeared to be the best of a bad bunch on. Well my group quiz has been starting around 11:30 am so I off to make a cuppa before it starts. Take care everyone, for all that need them. Stay safe ❤️
A late good morning from County Durham where the sun has started to shine. My Easter gift boxes for the children were collected by DS and D separately yesterday ( they all live locally). They were left in the porch so we were able to have a brief chat from the window. The plan is for the children to open them tomorrow and we will watch on skype. DD2 had hers delivered by DS and left on step. My DC are so close and we always spend Easter together with all families, but it's a sacrifice we have to make along with everyone else. DH is busy painting the fence and I feel I should be busy too. It's so strange not having those kiddie crumbs and finger prints to clean from little hands every other day. Such strange things to miss. Have the best day you can everyone and enjoy that sunshine. X
Good moning fom a lovely sunny Cheadle. Not sure what to today. Marydoll I hope you are kinder to your family with your quiz questions than you are to us poor GNs
Good morning FaceTimed my sister who has a birthday today so sad I can’t be with her as she’s on her own. Hubby out for shopping then sitting in the garden if it gets warmer. Stay safe all we will get through this. Love to all that are struggling!
The correct title is Holy Saturday, tonight after Sundown, it's Easter Vigil..
Whatever we call it on this thread is not important. We know what the title means. The ethos of this thread is to be warm, caring , supportive and non critical, truly in the spirit of Easter.
Ah, Gillybob so pleased you have finally got some sun, it makes all the difference. Whywhywhy you still sound so down, hope that the sunshine helps a little. You won't feel like this forever, her's hoping it will pass soon. Sending and virtual hugs.
Good afternoon. It is a glorious day here on the river. I am sat here in the cratch of my boat reading. I have rolled one side of the cover right back. My boat is moving back and forth gently within the restraints of the ropes. I have a glass of orange juice and some grapes to hand. Life could not be better at this moment in time...
Cant say good mrning because I dint get GN until later than in the UK. Hello from a dull Sweden, after weeks of glorious weather, we need rain for the spring flowers so a few days without sun is ok by us. Have a good Easter eveyone and keep safe and healthy
