Good Morning Sunday

Hi over there GG13! ?

X posts with you Marydoll and kitty. I won’t badger gillybob just think of her and hope she finds the strength she needs to deal with the cards she has been dealt, poor woman. We all know life ‘isn’t fair’ but she has had way more in her life to contend with than most others.

This of course is a public forum and she won’t be wanting to put her worries out here for ‘all’ to see. I daresay private messaging is just that and for her right now, is a better way to off load.

If you are reading each day gilly you will know how much we all care.

Good morning.
Bright start in Kent. We had a heavy shower yesterday. First rain for weeks.
I heard a couple I know have the virus. He's on a ventilator and she has symptoms. Also friends granddaughter has been in hospital for 48hrs sent home with pneumonia.
First people I've known personally
Take care everyone.

Good morning and a lovely sunny one it is too. ?. It certainly make you feel brighter and gets us off to a good start. Yesterday was really dreary here on the Suffolk coast . I haven’t heard about over 70’s having lockdown for a year GRAMARETTO. ?. Did you hear that today? I will be 70 in July, DH was 70 last November. So just in the danger zone ! We ordered fish and chips last evening for a little treat. I was so looking forward to it but it was disappointing . Dry and all batter with very little fish. Oh dear won’t do that again. Chicken casserole today as I haven’t got a joint in, but I’ve got plenty of chicken thighs , which we will enjoy. Will miss my roast though ! Welcome to GELISAJAM and hopefully GILLYBOB is ok . I do tend to ramble on here. Sorry ! I love hearing all your news and I carried away when it’s my turn. ??. Lovely thoughts to all on this Sabbath day. ?❤️

Morning Urmstongran?

Good Morning Michael, Annie and all. This morning is much brighter than yesterday, thank goodness. I know we needed the rain, well here at least, but it makes you feel better when the sun is shining.
After a lazy day, I feel as though I want to get into the garden today and weed the flower bed in the front. I appears to have lots of garlic coming up. Long stalks and little white flowers, pretty but smelly. Or should that be aromatic?
I made a lemon drizzle cake in the afternoon, and although it tastes alright, it didn't rise as it should, and to be honest, is a bit stodgy. Nothing a dollop of custard or ice cream won't sort out though. Marydoll, what did I do wrong??
We will listen to our recorded Church service later this morning, and remember all our lovely friends. I am just longing to see them all again, in the flesh.
Thinking still about Gilly and keeping her in my heart, and hoping all is well with her and her little family.
Marydoll, I hope you get your new TV, but isn't it always the way when you have something new, it leads to an upheaval all round.
Best wishes, Take Care and Stay Safe everyone.

Ah it’s nice to have you join us Gelisajams it’s always great to be able to welcome newbies and you’ve introduced yourself in fine style there!

Good morning everyone from Malaga where it’s yet another day of thick white cloud. The sea has melded into the sky and it’s all a pale grey wash. This is getting beyond a joke now! What’s the point of lockdown out here (Day 36 now) if it’s not gorgeous weather as compensation?

I awoke in the night and amongst my ruminations I was thinking of gillybob and how awful life is for her right now. I hope if nothing else they are keeping well.

I shall do my ‘walk’ later. It’s better than nothing and although I’m not losing any weight I do feel better mentally for doing it.

Sunday = slow cooker. Chicken & chorizo with plenty of veg and a plateful for my sweet neighbour. She was born in Harrogate and lived there until she was 65y when she came out here to retire. She has been (like all of us) humbled by the efforts of Captain Tom and told me yesterday he’s to open the new hospital facility there.

Hope Sunday is kind to us all. Keep safe everyone that’s the main thing. x

Good morning Mick and all his followers. Welcome Gelisajams - I hope you have plenty of time to spare now you are on GN!
A return to sunny weather in Suffolk but without very much rain at all. Out with the hose I’m afraid or I shall lose my new shrubs.
It’s roast chicken here today although I liked the sound of the rib of beef!
Have the best day you can.

Good morning Mick and everyone from a bright sunny Sunday in Cheshire. I'm sleepy because I sat up reading till around 3.30 - serves me right!

Enjoyed a long WhatsApp chat with friends yesterday and it made me feel more grounded. We planned things for when we're out and about again, which was a boost. Definitely a party. Several chats with my DD too.

Walking in the woods this morning. I'll try to post a photo of the bluebells. In one spot there are one or two white and pale lilac ones. May have to be careful about sitting in the garden later as the pollen really affected me the other day.

What a lovely idea to have a drinks party. I'm afraid not all the neighbours here are that friendly. Keep themselves to themselves. I do have several who are lovely though. One rang my doorbell yesterday to say she'd left a gift on the doorstep. She'd been tidying a cupboard and found a lovely Champney's bath set and thought I would like it.

Warm wishes to all, that we stay focused and well. Virtual hugs to those who need them, especially Gilly who has suffered so much for so long. for all.

Morning all. As dragonfly says, Leicestershire is fairly bright but we now have a few clouds or at least our bit does.

Gardening for us today and then we are having Sunday lunch delivered. A girl who worked at a local Michelin starred restaurant has started a supper club and also does sunday lunch from her home. I am unreasonably excited.

Sending love to gilly, I hope she is at least getting pm support from people she trusts.

Good morning from a sunny Essex. Had sad news about a friend's husband yesterday so couldn't really settle to anything. Hoping that I will get out for a walk today as feel better in the fresh air. Having a Zoom catch up with friends this afternoon. There are 10 of us so not sure if we will all get a word in. Hope everyone has a good day and hoping to hear from Gillybobxxx

That made me laugh Marydoll 'Thats what their excuse was! Never a dull moment at Marydoll Towers

Yes welcome Gelisajams

Good Morning from a much brighter Black Country, it rained all day yesterday.

Welcome to Gelisajams . Lovely to have you join in with us.

Didn't do a lot yesterday. We watched the 3 episodes of Quiz in the afternoon. It did make us think that the Ingrams could have been innocent.

Had a Zoom video call with 4 friends, then steak for dinner and my weekly G & T, then we shared half of our only Easter egg.

Hopefully will get out in the garden again today.

Glad you managed to set up your new TV NanKate, we are thinking of having one as my Partner has completed 25 years at his company and has enough points to order one from the catalogue they supplied. Will probably have to add £100 or so to it.

I find I am eating more 'goodies' Pittcity. I dread to get on the scales

We are all thinking of you dear gilly

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire. It’s looking mighty fine outside of my window today.
Welcome Gelisajams
A little bike ride with the pooch today as I still can’t walk properly.
I will have to brave a supermarket shop today too, I am really not looking forward to that.

Take care everyone and stay safe ❤️

Welcome, Gelisajams !

Good morning all, it's a beautiful sunny morning here in Glasgow, but quite cold. We may even manage a cuppa in the garden. Fingers crossed.

Nothing much happening today, a walk over the field in half an hour with DH to get the papers and I will wait for him in a corner, out of the way, just in case anyone is about.
That will be my sortie into the outside world over until next week.
They are a lazy lot around her, still abed, that's how I can get out, without meeting anyone.

Yesterday, I spotted my neighbour at her door, so called across I had made macaroons. It was like a pantomime. I put them (well wrapped) on the ground, (wearing gloves) went next door to leave theirs and rush away, before they opened the door.
My neighbour opened the door, dressed as a nun and her husband appeared behind her, dressed as a priest. ?
The most unlikeliest nun ?, you could ever meet, is my friend! Apparently, they were making a birthday video for another friend. Well that's what their excuse was.
I haven't laughed so much for ages, it was the most incongrous thing I had ever seen. ?

Kate, DH wants a new all singing, all dancing TV, I'm happy with that, but it means it won't fit in our living room units, we will need new ones, we needa new carpet and the room needs wallpapered. It will be the most expensive TV in history! I shudder to think of the upheavel and can't bear the thought of it all!! ??

I am really worried about Gilly. She was in contact the other day, but nothing since. She has a lot going on at the moment and needs some space.
Just keep her in your thoughts and prayers, I do know she reads everything, we all write.?

Best wishes to all who are struggling, have the best day you can.

welcome Gelisajams

Welcome Gelisajams ?

Good morning Mick and all from the Scottish Borders. Cold and dull so far.
I will suggest your excellent village idea to our facebook locals Mick
I am so sorry for poor Dexter Dragonfly and for you having to watch!

I'm feeling sorry for all of us over 70 if the news today is correct and we may have lock-down for a year. What did we do to deserve this?
I shall go to virtual church this morning. There's bound to be someone with faith whose ministry will help.

On a cheerier note, the blackbird is singing so sweetly. I think they have the best song of all.
Have a good day everyone and as they say in these parts: "see yous all later"

Good morning from dull West Berkshire.

Very lazy day yesterday which is not like me at all but feeling livelier today .
It will be a walk in the woods first thing , home for lunch being prepared by my son today and then watch something on the TV planner .

Will also be knitting a couple more hats to add to my premature baby stash .

Good morning from sunny Colchester. We have a roast beef dinner to look forward to. There is wine and ice cream too. We are indulging far too much but what else is there?

Good morning everyone from Morecambe Bay where we have a clear blue sky. I’ve be another lurker on this page for a few months now, so I thought it was time to say hello!
I’m afraid I join the many ex teachers on here.
I don’t have any pets but I do have 7 grandchildren ranging in age from 2(next week) to 18. Like most, I haven’t seen any of them for some weeks as they are not local. Maybe FaceTime later.
My interests are gardening, crochet and sewing.
Thinking of all with problems and worries.

Goodmorning Mick and all x

The sky is blue with fluffy white clouds here in S E Essex, but we have a chill in the air.

Rib of beef and all the trimmings for dinner, I do enjoy a Sunday roast although I am missing going out to one of our local restaurants every couple of weeks for Sunday lunch.

Thinking of gillybob and her family

Take care, keep safe and have the best Sunday you can in these strange circumstances ??

Good morning from a lovely sunny Cheshire. Yesterday rained, just as we were about to start jetwashing the drive - but we soldiered on, and finally we have a nice clean drive. Today we will have a day off from jobs and just potter about. Might take a short drive with the dog to give her a walk somewhere new, as police now say that is permitted (as long as the journey is not long) and obviously the area you choose is not busy. Our eldest son lives in the surrounding countryside about 10 mins drive from us, so might drive near there and say hello from his gate; there is a lovely tow path walk right near his house, so could give that a go.

Hope Gillybob had a better day yesterday, she certainly needs a break from the hard time she's having. Dragonfly poor Dexter, those collars are so uncomfortable. I used to take our dog's off while she ate, felt so sorry for her. There are more comfortable ones, but presume it won't be easy to get your hands on one immediately.

Take care and hope the sun shines for you today.
