Good morning from cool, breezy, cloudy Morecambe Bay, though there’s a touch of blue sky to the west.
Mr G has gone for a run leaving me in bed with a large cup of tea and my iPad.
After a crazily busy day yesterday there’s nothing else to do today except sloth! Maybe a Pilates video at some point.
One of my sons lives alone 60 miles away. He works in a warehouse, not in the best of conditions, he has still been in during lockdown. They have stayed open for internet orders. He does long days and 4 day shifts which he hates. He maintains his sanity in normal times by travelling about on the train on his days off which gives him something to look forward too. He’s autistic and can’t drive. It’s his 40th birthday next week and it looks like I may be able to drive over and meet up with him for a walk. He was so pleased last night when I suggested it! He said he will show me his walk to work!
I’m wondering too about the feasibility of seeing the rest of the family and the grandchildren. We usually have the 3 year old stay once a month and like many we are missing her (and the older ones!) We do have to be careful “and alert!” though as I suffer from asthma.
Hoping Gilly has got some sense from someone helpful.
Take care and stay safe everyone. ?

Good morning Mick and All from sunny Worcs. It’s been a very cold night as the heating kicked in earlier. Got a couple of errands to do today, prescriptions to collect and a parcel to take to PO which is heading for DD2.
Also locksmith is arriving this afternoon to look at our new door (February). It’s not locked right since new and we’ve finally got him to come back. He’ll be on the outside doorstep and we’ll be inside.
Hoping the week gets easier for people with worries ?

Good morning from an overcast NE with some glimpses of sunshine.
My Cote at home meal was delivered promptly yesterday, well packed and looks delicious. My sister included a bottle of Champagne as it is my birthday lunch.
Happy Birthday to Marmight too.
DH has brought my cup of tea and my cards to open.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone from a bright dry Inverness - cool but at least it’s not raining !

Nothing different planned for me today, although I’ve got to pop out to get a bit of shopping later ?

I’m still enjoying my local walks and trying to find new areas to explore - but I’m really looking forward to when Scotland allows us drive a little distance to walk as a change of scenery would be lovely !

Hope everyone finds something to enjoy today and thinking especially of those with extra worries and struggles

Take care everyone ?

Morning Mick, morning All from a bright, chilly corner of Somerset. Thr demon decorator did well yesterday. We need to empty and move tall units today so he can finish tomorrow so ‘stuff’ everywhere and a sorting job for me. Must complete my on line food shop, check if neighbours would like to add anything. Heard the friend with covid is due to leave hospital today, good to know. Special thoughts for gilly, Marydoll and all finding this a tough week. Be gentle with yourselves everyone.

By call I mean DD will phone from 2,000 miles away!

Good morning Mick and everyone. It's a bright morning in Cheshire with lots of blue sky, but high white clouds are moving in fast from the north west. Great start to my day when the cord in the kitchen blind snapped. I know, a small irritation compared to what others are coping with.

Please take care with your parcel Mick. I would disinfect and leave for a few days in isolation, but that's me.

I'll walk at 9.00 and plan to do some baking today which should keep me busy. The time drags so on my own. My DD will call at some stage as she's sent me a training video to check, so I've listened to that already.

I've made a start on a second painting as I can't concentrate on one I've had on the go for a long time now. Enjoying reading Michelle Obama/s book and see it's now on Netflix.

Hope all those with difficulties and the long suffering Gillybobs will find some solutions soon. Take good care of yourselves. flowers for all.

Morning All

The sun is shining in the north of Norfolk and the wind has dropped. I just put my baby tomato plants outside for the day and it’s still chilly. They’ll stay in their pots for a few days yet.

Today I shall be mostly bread making.

Good luck with the bank today Gilly. I fear they’re putting everyone off in the hopes they can say that things are getting back to normal now, so you don’t need help do you!! They’re worse than the councils.

Keep lerting on Everyone.

Good morning from a calm a bright E Kent.
After a dreadful night on Sunday, I had probably the best night in years last night, only just waking up now! I shall go for a walk and do some sewing - again today.
All the best for today gilly.
Stay safe, stay alert. We need more lerts. (What a ridiculous slogan! Should have been “stay apart”)!

Scentia ?
Good Morning everyone from a dry and bright Severnside.

Almost as soon as the news came out my DD and I planned a meet up. Our stay alert starts on her birthday but we will meet on the weekend as she has to work. I expect the roads will be very busy.

I hope you had a successful day yesterday Marydoll with your SiL’s shenanigans.

A day of pottering for me and I hope you all stay safe ?

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire. I am actually in North Nottinghamshire coming to the end of a long night shift, the weather in Nottinghamshire is beautiful, I will take it home with me later??
A little sleep and then I am going to take the dog for a walk on the trails, I may take the bike. I haven’t been there for 8 weeks and I am looking forward to it.
My DD seems to think we can meet up and go for a walk now as long as we are 2m apart but how am I going to stop myself scooping my DGS up in my arms?
I do hope Gilly manages to sort her bank today.
Take care everyone and stay safe and for goodness sake people ‘Stay Alert’!! (Only in England though, if you are anywhere else you may walk around with your eyes wide shut!!!)?
