Good Morning Sunday

Good morning everyone from a sunny mid-Notts. I did write a post earlier but it disappeared off into cyberspace!! So trying again. Black pepper chicken tonight which DOH is in charge of . Other than that hopefully a lazy day - facetime later with my lovely girls. Stay safe everyone and may Sunday be kind to us all x

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny Essex by the sea.
I had a lovely facetime chat with DD1 and my 3 granddaughters yesterday. They all told me what they had been doing and the 4 year old showed me the picture she had drawn for her best friend, the little boy next door. They manage to talk for hours over the hedge between their gardens without actually seeing each other.
We had a take away curry last night from our favourite Indian restaurant. Our first one in about 8 weeks, it was delicious.
Roast pork for dinner and chats with two other daughters later.
Have the best day you can and stay safe everyone xx

‘Sunny Manchester’ eh mancgirl? Stop rubbing it in...
?

I have just heard from Gilly, she appreciates all the kindness and support from her virtual friends and hopes to post again soon. She just needs to focus on her family just now.

Please ignore the awful grammar ??‍♀️ I need more coffee and should remember to proof read!

Oops! rays ??? not days.

Morning all from sunny Manchester. We watched Phantom of the Opera on YouTube last night. It was wonderful. Compensation for us not getting to see it in Manchester next week. Out for a walk shortly. Dinner will be the fourth one in the Gousto box so don't have to think about that today. Hi Gelisajam. Hope everyone has the best day they can. (((hugs))). for those with extra worries and wobbles. ?? For gilly .

Some people seem to be shopping at the shops every couple of days. Not the spirit we try to keep to...surely?
Perhaps they think it doesn't apply to them.

A sunny and clear blue sky day in Godalming so far.
Run at 5.30 was uneventful with the exception of seeing a fox by a bench. I stopped, it stared and lay down, I ran on. Beautiful creature but much smaller than I thought they were.
Once home, shower, dress, scrambled eggs with chilli flakes on toasted muffin.
I see that, according to proposals reported today, 70+ yr olds can possibly 'look forward?' to a YEAR of lockdown whilst other facilities and shops may open in a measured manner a few weeks apart.
Great eh? Haha, I'm definitely not staying in for that length of time, not 6 or even 3 months. No way Jose.
I think a spell in the courtyard with a cappuccino is on the cards. Radio on low and soak up a few days.
Be good, stay safe and enjoy the small pleasures as much as possible.
??? to everyone and to GNers having a tough time through illness or worries, take heart, we are with you, wishing you strength on every step of your journey. ???

Good morning from another sunny day in Glasgow. Couldn’t resist having my morning coffee in the garden. I had to wrap up as their is a chilly wind but it was so nice to be able to sit outside.

Had FaceTime calls with GDs yesterday and like you Brunette I am missing cuddles from both of them. GD2 was a bit upset and missing us so I had to put on my bravest face and remind her of the plans we have for later. Heaven knows when later will be but she cheered up and I held it together until we ended our catch up.

My Dylon order arrived yesterday so pleased they already contained salt as I had completely forgotten to put it on the shopping list. Hoping my choice of wine colour manages to put some life back into the covers?

Thinking of you gilly and hoping whatever you are having to deal with resolves soon. You have had so much to deal with on your own IRL but remember you have so many friends here to listen and we will help you through any way we can?

Have the best day possible everyone as we plod on a day at a time doing whatever it takes to get us through this with our main objective is, stay safe and healthy.

Good morning from a dry NE where the sun is trying to shine through the cloud.
I watched Phantom of the Opera yesterday morning and enjoyed it, I have never seen a live performance like this, so lavish.
Last night we watched The Pianist, a film I have seen several times, I am amazed that he lived until 2000 considering what he lived through.
I started a new novel and it is very thick, well written and easy reading so will probably spend some time on the sofa with a glass of something.
Stay safe everyone.

Good Morning All x
Bright and getting brighter here so will probably buck up as the day goes on. Not particularly warm but a bit of cleaning around will put paid to that. I just get odd spurts of energy and while it's there I take advantage of it, not a lot mind you

Cooked the beef yesterday and it smelt delicious so I sampled a slice on a sandwich with onion for my tea yesterday just to see if it was tender Superb !

I keep having the odd blip now and again as my mind works overtime so have to stand in the garden and do some deep breathing, so easy to end up withdrawn. I'll battle on, we have to ! It's the non-visits that are getting me down.

I'm sorry about the weather you're having Urmston. It just shouldn't be like that though I suppose it's joining in with the feeling of the nation : ( It'll pick up.

So, the over 70's can expect to live like this into next year ?
Not a chance ! I'd rather risk it. If this is Boris's idea then the virus has affected his mind.

Thinking of our Gilly and hoping things aren't too bad with her x Everything is so magnified at present.
All you other ladies too and Dexter the dog, hope nobody's struggling too much. Stay safe and well xx Hard Times-CD.

Good morning all, grey but fine here in Devon, suits me as I have to put 3rd coat of paint on my bedroom wall not quite happy with the coverage .

Beef Casserole for Dinner, made yesterday, last night's Dinner & 2 portions in the freezer.

Need to sort out everything for posting whilst I'm out shopping tomorrow. Just my fortnightly top up, I'm trying to only go out once/twice per week, also I do my neighbour's shopping at the same time (she's self-isolating).

My thoughts are with all who are struggling with health issues (their own or loved ones)

Good Morning from Fife where the sun is shining and good to see you back *Brunette" hopefully the sky will brighten for you today.
Nothing special needing done indoors today so out for a walk later we used to go out for breakfast on a Sunday and how I miss that but something to look forward too. Our local fish restaurant is opening up tomorrow for take away so little green shoots.
Ordered some jars of jam, marmalade and chutneys to be delivered as a wee treat.

Stay safe everyone and enjoy your day

Morning all , dull here and we had some rain in the night
I hope Gilly gets some relief xxxx

Morning everyone from a bright South Notts. I need to go shopping later and hope that it'll be all right. You never know what to expect these days, do you? It's all a bit unsettling.
Best wishes to all those who are suffering, either physical illnesses or anxiety.

Thank you very much for your kind thoughts and explanation Urmstongran.

Good Morning from Fife. It's quite hazy at the moment but I think it's to brighten up for the day. Had a really good sleep last night and have wakened up to a more positive looking outlook. DD keeping in touch regularly with DGS's and what they are up to, I long for a cuddle from them of course as I know we all are. There are so many good people out there doing their very best to keep things together for others who are not as fortunate as some of us are, let's hope it continues. Thanks to everyone for caring. Sending hugs to Gillybob and whoever else feels life is just too much for them at the moment, we shall get through this, I'm sure. Take care.

Good morning from east London, bluey sky and the sun is shining. My conservatory shelf looks quite bare now all my spare plants have gone; some people left me their own offerings so I can have a selection of veg this year. Had a good walk again yesterday, the bluebells are still amazing, and ‘bumped’ into one of the other foodbank volunteers who has stood down for the duration. Funny thing was we’d had a WhatsApp conversation about an hour before. I do like cooking but am no good at presentation; I did admire DP as he slapped the veggie shepherd’s pie on his plate especially as the soy sauce had turned the sweet potato topping into a very distinct colour. However, the flavour could not be faulted; if only I could remember all the extras I chucked in. Today I have some seeds to plant and wonder if I will finally break over the heap of stuff sitting on my bedroom sofa (2 carrier bags of family photos, 2 jigsaws, assorted spec and cases I no longer need, some GD pottery and so on. Hope you have a good day.

TopsyIrene our own posts show up in colour. Pink as mine are? And the OP at the top shows up in green. You’re doing fine!

You must be anxious about your ongoing treatment after screening. A friend’s husband is in the same boat as you. It adds to their anxiety levels right now so I can empathise how you must be feeling.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Beautiful start to the day today here in Norwich Yesterday was a bit of a let down, we had got quite used to pottering about outside but the rain was so welcome! Still some seedlings to prick out, and plants to move now that we have had rain! Now going for trot down to the greenhouse to see what has appeared during the night and say good morning to the tomatoes! Then shower and porridge!
Had no. 3 “Coronavirus lockdown newsletter”from our granddaughter! Full of photographs of them doing their various activities! Even the dog is featured.
We get one every week, and such a boost for
my 94 year old mum. Although we speak most days via What’s
app, mum doesn’t have that facility! Look after yourselves and STAY SAFE!

Good morning Mick and the GM team, from a sunny east London, with much lovely birdsong. Feeling better each day (challenges due to my disability not CV19, thankfully). Pittcity, we are overindulging too. We drank more wine than usual, yesterday and my partner’s rationale was ‘it’s Saturday’, which I enthusiastically embraced. We also finished off chocolate eggs ...

Kitty, can we please have Sunday lunch delivered, when you get yours ... mmm. Otherwise it’s roast pork for us today from ‘ la cuisine maison’.

Dragonfly hope Dexter is comfortable today ?
Marydoll, I had no idea what was coming next, when your neighbours appeared dressed as a nun and a priest ...
All good thoughts to Gillybob ?
.
Have a nice day all ?? (double flowers for Sunday).

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. The sun is out intermittently in South Yorkshire and we are hoping for a walk this morning. I managed to get an order with a garden centre yesterday which will be delivered tomorrow so once any chance of frost is past, we should have a project to keep us busy. Roast chicken today. Gone are the days when I would roast the whole chicken and we would eat what was left - if there was any left - cold! Now I split it down the middle, roast one half and use the rest for a mid week curry! And we have pork chops! Who knew you could get excited about pork chops??
Welcome Gelisajam. Gilly thinking of you?. Have a safe Sunday folks.

Good morning from the Shropshire borders.After a rainy day yesterday the sunshine is back today.
Welcome Gelisajams??
Dragonfly,hopingbDexter improves soon,such a worry for you.
Sending much love and strength to gilly who has so much to deal with.x

Morning everyone. Beautiful sunny morning here in the south side of Glasgow although rather chilly. Bright blue sky and birds singing. Lovely.

I sincerely hope the news I heard this morning that over 70s may have to stay in for another year is not true. My sob story is that I had a routine bowel screening in March which needs further investigation but have been told that it can't be done and no promise of a date in the future either.

I hope I am posting in the correct place as I see yesterday's message came up in colour! Have a good day.
