Good Morning Friday

Good morning everyone from sunny Malaga ? where it’s already warm. Himself went out a while ago for his early morning BRISK walk.

Friday = steak night with a lovely bottle of Ribera to share ??

Prices in the SuperSol make me smile. Yesterday’s shop included a tin of JW red salmon which cost €8 whereas the two fillet steaks were only €6 ‼️

Many happy returns of the day cornergran ???? and I too hope gillybob rests up now till Monday. Throw salt on it girl it’ll keep.

Hope jacq10 had a better day yesterday with the increased painkillers and I was happy to hear about the progress baby Henry is making Susan56 you must all be SO relieved this weekend.

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

Good Morning from a dull Fife as expected though. Happy Birthday Cornergran sure you will have a good day/evening. Gilly - you know we are all here to support and I hope you get some good positive news very soon, it has to come some time. Watched VE day programme with Dame Vera last night and found it very emotional for some reason, don't know if it's because of our situation just now or indeed I'm getting older and much more appreciative. No definitive plans for today but will be thinking of all those who sacrificed their life to allow us to be here today. Will be thinking of all. Keep your chin up.

Good morning all from a sunny Staffs. It’s our local DGS’s 12th birthday today. We’ve bought him a bike. It’s is our shed so we’re hoping he’ll come round when his Mum, DD2, brings round our shopping. We open the gate and they bring their own drinks and sit down the garden. We’re having a silence in the street at 11am then Street Party just afternoon 3. We’ve made some bunting and will chalk on pavement. I’m making scones for neighbours. After cooking I’ll put them into food bags with tongs and put them at the end of their drives.

Actually NannyJan your comment made me think about the clapping here last night. It’s definitely lessened here too.

I suppose after 8 full weeks of doing it every night and the lockdown here easing with hairdressers now open and terrace bars at 30% capacity from Mo day, it was always going to happen. I said to Himself let’s clap tomorrow (tonight) and then stop.

Good Morning Mick and all. A warm and bright morning on the S Welsh coast.
We will observe the two minute silence at 11 am and raise a toast at 3pm. We will remember my late DH who was still in India on VE Day and my late Mil who was outside Buckingham Palace.
Happy Birthday corner ??
Stay safe everyone.

Good morning all from a beautifully sunny mid-Notts. Happy birthday to you Cornergran - do hope you enjoy the day as best you can . No particular plans here today - a nice quiet one I rather hope. Hope everyone has a happy VE day and please stay safe x

Good morning all and Happy Birthday Cornergran
It’s not everybody gets the flags put out on their birthday - not even the Queen this year!
Erm, Nortsat, won’t the PO be shut today as it’s a public holiday? It would be annoying to have a wasted trip.
Our village has done itself proud for today (or Corner’s birthday) and while street parties are not really my thing, I shall be out on the green opposite our house later to enjoy a glass of Prosecco with some of my neighbours- at a distance of course.
Wishing you all a pleasant day!

Good morning Mick and all from Worcs.
Happy Birthday Cornergran ?
Warmest day yesterday as I found out when I agreed to DH’s long walk just after lunch. Phew! I definitely sleep better on days we have a 60 min walk.
Newquay - as I read your post I felt excitement for you - you’re going to have a great day today ??
Gillybob I hate to hear of your suffering. Take a nap today. Take care all and enjoy VE Day and the good weather ?

Good Morning everyone from Oxfordshire
Gillybob I really hope you can have a peaceful weekend and look after yourself
We have just had the most lovely surprise!
Our 6 year old GS has been doing a VE day school project and our DD, SIL, GS and GD are having a VE party in their garden.
We have just had a tap on the front door and there was a cool box with lots of little pots all beautifully labled by GS containing 2 homemade cheese straws,2 cakes, 2 scones, jam, cream, 1 teabag, coffee, napkins, paper cups (with our faces drawn on!) homemade bunting and a lovely invitation to join them at 12 pm for a virtual party!
So much thought and effort put in by all of them and has absolutely made my day!
Hope everyone has a good day

Forgot to say Happy Birthday Cornergran

PS I’ll be glued to the TV today watching all I can about VE Day, observing 1 min. silence also.

Sark So thoughtful and must make you feel joyful!
Enjoy ?

Good morning all from a cloudy, but pleasant Glasgow, where it's 13 C already.

Gilly, I worry so much about you. There must be someone who can help you. I don't know how you manage to keep going. That and the strain of looking after your husband must be taking its toll on your health and well-being.

Happy Birthday, Cornergran, ??, it sounds as if you have a pleasant day planned. Enjoy!

A gentle day for me today, I overdid it yesterday and am paying the price for it now.
We have stripped the bed, made it up and I promptly jumped back in again. ??
I attempted to make cinnamon muffins for DH yesterday, as they are unavailable in the supermarket.
It was a Paul Hollywood recipe, a man I can't take to, but they were so successful that DH said, there was no point buying them in store anymore.
Shot myself in the foot there!

We clapped for the NHS last night and could hear the clapping all the way up the hills to the golf course. The town was so quiet, with little traffic. It was very uplifting to hear so many people out.
We have a virus hotspot here and everyone knows someone who has been affected.☹️

I have Tesco delivery today, great excitement. I nearly had an apoplexy last night, when I made a final check.?
The bill was huge.

It was then that realised that DD had sneakily added a considerable number of items, that including my neighbours' shopping had pushed up the hill.
One of my neighbours has a craving for frozen mashed potato, ( the same one who craved fish fingers last week), I just crave Midget Gem sweets for some strange reason! ?

Wishing you all a pleasant day.

Good morning from sunny Colchester. The Red Arrows are passing over at 10am for a London flypast. We will be watching the TV coverage, observing the silence and toasting the day later.
Happy Birthday corner gran ????

Another lovely good morning from the Suffolk Coast. Make the most of today and tomorrow as the forecasters keep saying it’s going to be VERY cold from Sunday.

We clapped last night with 2 neighbours, overlooking the sea and there was a beautiful sunset. An hour later and the flower moon rose and was again spectacular. These simple pleasures gladden the heart.

We’ve got a bit of bunting up and my neighbour is making scones for afternoon tea, sitting apart in the garden. We’ll ask the other neighbours in (there’s only 4 cottages here and one is empty) . But they probably won’t join us. A bit aloof and worried about close contact with us,.oh well!

As others have said GILLYBOB , try to have a weekend off if possible, . Easier said than done I know but it would do you good. Have a walk along your beach and clear your mind. Think peaceful thoughts and deep breaths really do work. You have so many friends on here and lots of love reaches out to you. Take care. ♥️

Happy birthday Cornergran ?

Happy VE Day all ????????????

Good morning Mick and all his followers. Sunny in Suffolk again. The cat has been fed ( peace for 5 minutes!), coffee has been drunk and I have had a 10 minute workout with a batch of wholemeal sourdough bread. The white loaf I made last time was my most successful yet. I hope this is a bit more airy than usual.
Sark how lovely! Enjoy your party.
Nortsat sounds like a great menu - we’ll be round later.
Gillybob
Well, time to take coffee to DH. Having been so nearly healed at Christmas, his leg ulcer broke down again and it often keeps him awake at night. It is two and a half years old now.
Have a good day everyone and enjoy VE Day however you spend it.

And a Happy Birthday Cornergran!

Good morning all. Hazy sunshine here in Gower.

Sorry I haven't been able to read more than a couple of posts this morning. I had a seizure in the night and my WP had to give me rescue medication, again. I'm sure now, too, that I had a seizure the night before as lots of bruising came out.

Gillybob ?

Have a lovely birthday ? ? cornergran ?

VE day celebrations may be a more muted affair this year but my WP and me will raise our cups of tea this afternoon.

Take care everyone, stay safe ❤️

Good morning everyone. Another hot day. Started early, then stopped...Holiday here for 8 May, of course Paths Lab closed so no blood test. Stupid woman. Now I’m all dressed up and nowhere to go! ☹️

It’ll keep until Monday. Brunette I too saw the Vera Lynn programme, with great difficulty. Eating supper, crying with dear emotional Veterans, blowing my nose, looking at the White Cliffs. Just wondering when I’ll have the chance to see them again. Just sort it out, world, we’ve all got lives to lead ?. Think lots of us are very emotional at the moment.

Pace yourself gilly - no-one will know or care if you keel over. They’re all too busy dodging phone calls. But your family need you and so do your friends and you need time with them. All your on-line chums care dreadfully, so please step away from the phone sometimes. If you can’t switch off you’ll never sleep. No sleep = no healing. You’d be pretty desperate to watch one of your loved ones in the state you’re in, so.................please? Think of yourself. ?

Have the best lockdown Birthday, Cornergran and many many happy returns to you!

I’m making some more tea, making masks, making time to sit in the sun, making the best of it.

Bless all you heroes who helped to save us in WWII, we won’t forget the men who never went home, all those who lie in the poppy fields and lovingly tended military graveyards across Europe - and beyond. However we remember, we’ll remember today ???????????

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning Mick & all from cloudy Nottingham.
Zumba gold at 10.00 am
Scones & cake this afternoon at our street party, all on our own drives ????
Happy Birthday cornergran?
Thoughts with Gillybob try & get some rest over the weekend, you must be exhausted
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from a sunny NE.
Last night's grocery delivery was quite good, a lot of substitutions but acceptable ones. Delivery was 10pm so it was late by the time we cleaned everything and put them away.
Today I am expecting a delivery from a cake maker, sister has arranged some treats for me to mark my birthday next week.
Happy Birthday Cornergran, not often the whole country turns out for a birthday celebration.

Thinking of you gillybob and hoping you get some help soon.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs on VE Day. A late one for me - slept like a top last night. Happy Birthday, Corner - I knew all those flags must be for something special!???. Have a lovely day. We will walk today and then we have an online quiz planned with the family later. Our neighbour across the road has so many flags out you can hardly see his house! Lovely sight! Have as happy a day as possible, folks.

Good morning from the Shropshire borders where it’s another sunny day.

Thank you Urmston.x

We are going to be sitting in the front garden later to join our neighbours for a social distanced afternoon tea.

Cherry,please take it easy,rest and recuperation?

I hope you can get somewhere with the phone calls gilly.I can see it is hard to take time out but maybe a walk on the beach and make sure you are eating properly.Easy for me to say I know but you really do need to care for yourself as well as others.I wish I could do more but send my virtual love and strength to you.x

Thinking of you all and wishing you the best day possible.BlueSapphire,dragonfly and other good morningers we are missing you and thinking of you?

Happy birthday corner????
