Good Morning Sunday

Good morning Mick and the GM team, from a grey-ish east London.

We watched ‘Mrs Lowry and Son’ on Amazon Prime, last night. It starred Vanessa Redgrave as the mother and Timothy Spall as LS Lowry. It was very much worth watching and both actors were excellent.
It made us both want to read more about Lowry, his life and his work.

Some housework today and then I’ll work on my tapestry this afternoon. Beef in red wine for supper, cooked yesterday, so an easy supper, with just vegetables to prepare (mashed potatoes, carrots and mange tout).

Happy Birthday Ginny, wishing you good health and good things in the coming year?.
Have a nice day all, special good wishes to those who need them and ‘let’s be careful out there’. ?

Wow! A Capricorn, gilly and you’ve not already trampled all over bungling Barclays with your goat hooves?! Come on, girl, when you get those *k$€£¥& on the ‘phone, you need to kick ass and show ‘em what you’re made of ?????? ? xx

Good morning from the Shropshire borders.A cloudy start but forecast to brighten up later.

The highlight of our day is the food delivery this afternoon.

Happy birthday Ginny????

Take care and stay safe everyone.

A sorry excuse of a Capricorn I am then GrandmaFrench . Maybe I was born early or late and should’ve been an Aquarius or a Sagittarius I’m not sure ?

Good Morning from a sunny N.,Cambs., Warmer today, after a disappointingly cloudy & chilly day yesterday. The only highlight was Ocado delivery, so we are stocked up.

All good Birthday wishes to Ginny.

Take Care to all you friendly folk.

I think you are doing a brilliant job, gilly and persevering in really difficult circumstances.

Is ttmhat a capricorn characteristic - I'm off to check.

That’ll be it gilly. I’m a fire sign......we could have set fire to them first and then you could have used those little hooves . They’re my bank too.....and the stories I could tell you. Don’t fret - your day WILL come. In the meantime I’m afraid you’ll just have to cope with being a really nice person! Sending you sunshine for Sunday/for always. x

They never stop persevering, kitty. I gave birth to one of the determined little blighters!

Well I suppose I am a bit like a dog with a rabbit and find hard to let go . I’m usually really good at fighting other people’s corners and have done a lot if it over the years . Maybe not so good at fighting my own . Still I’ve got the “we want your Feedback” form from Barclays to to fill in which will be a joy . I do hope they “use it for training purposes”
They could learn a lot on how not to treat their customers .

Good morning from East London , dull but maybe it will cheer up . I’m getting out the summer wardrobe anyway as it promises to improve this week .A very happy birthday Ginny this seems to be a popular month! It has reminded me to send a card to my sister in law , my DH eldest sister . She has been very good about keeping in touch since DH died Unfortunately she is now quite deaf and telephone conversation is difficult , she does not have a mobile or the internet so the only way to keep in touch is by letter . I quite enjoy receiving her little notelets though .
A walk today with a friend I haven’t seen for a while, looking forward to a chat 2 metres apart !
I will also phone sister and brother in Norfolk ,I really miss seeing them all and hope our holiday plans will come to fruition .

Good morning everyone from a grey Gower.

Happy Birthday ? Ginny. I hope you have a pleasant a day as you can in these strange times ❤️

All this talk about astrology reminds me of the lines from The Life of Brian "Capricorn, what's that then" and "it's one of those astronomical signs". My niece1 and me always tease the others in our family as we are the only ones with Summer birthdays ?. I don't believe in astrology but ironically I can draw up a proper astrology birth chart. It's a fun gift I have done for a few people for their birthdays. It can take a little bit of time but, even though most don't believe in astrology, it always seems to be appreciated.

Not a lot planned for today, my usual group quiz is not taking place today so I will just have some chats on the phone with family. Cottage pie for dinner later, it's what my DH fancied.

Take care all, if you are venturing out stay safe ❤️

Good Morning All x
Sunny and cloudy again but feels a few degrees warmer----I'll soon be able to shed my vest

I've got clothes and ironing to put away off the arms of the chairs, it's making the place look untidy. Also make a space on the coffee table, enough at least for a cup ! Why is it that they get cluttered with all manner of things ?

Dinner today are 4 Welsh lamb chops ( I could have bought a small joint with the price of them ) but they looked so delicious and a change. I'll cook them with care----in the oven. New pots, carrots and runner beans. I made a banana custard earlier so that's now in the fridge for pud.

Haven't rang D yet so will do that today, write an email and also answer one so all that will keep me out of mischief

My first disturbed sleep last night when I woke suddenly thinking it was time to get up. I didn't bother looking at the time in case it panicked me. It took a while before I dropped off again as I was wide awake and hot too. Anyway slept until 10 past 8, so that'll do me.

I feel as though I've been turned on my head, as others will feel the same I guess. It's not normal.

Gillybob, you should be thankful it wasn't Sagittarius like my D, you'd have gone from the frying pan into the fire----she has the same sort of " luck " as you have. She calls her birth sign saggy trousers, appropriately.
Everything comes to those who wait. x

Must get cracking as I'm not even washed and dressed yet.
Have as good a day as you all can and stay safe----always have a lert with you as well xx

Popped back to wish ginny happy birthday.

Good morning from a sunny and bright Market Harborough. Stay safe and sane today and every day. X

Good morning to you all from a lovely sunny and breezy East Midlands. I got up early and put the washing out and then made some lemon crisp biscuits and put a malt loaf in the oven. All helped by my youngest son who has already ate half of the biscuits!
I feel better times are not far away and just hope that another wave of this virus is not about to hit us all.

Have the best day that you can. Xxx

Happy Birthday Ginny! flowers

I only just noticed, predictive text chances WP to DH! We're not even married ?

Good morning everyone from a wet overcast day in my part of Glasgow too Marydoll so a lazy Sunday ahead and an excuse to finish my book then lots of footering should keep me occupied.

Not only has the dishwasher died, the boiler is on the blink! Oh, la di da, what next?? waiting for my Old Goat, another Capricorn, to work his magic on it??!

Happy Birthday Ginny?. Enjoy your day.

Your description of a walk to a sunny al fresco cafe sounds wonderful Urmstongran. and I’m happy to hear you are allowed another step to freedom☕️?

Wishing all the best day and if any of our English grans are venturing out, remember to take your lert with you. Enjoy.

Morning (just as I start) all. It's still the same drizzly-mizzly Angus coast as it was when I lost what I was going to post earlier. Since then I have cleaned the patio doors after a Kamikazi sparrow thought it would take a short cut through the garden room. Sad really - it was intent on feeding its young with a cropful of wriggling worms. Bellasnanna yes, RAF hubby, in Malta '72-'75. Such a wonderful posting and I always felt so blessed living on the side of a swimming pool looking over a bed of enormous sunflowers to the Med. And peaches at 9d - yes d not p! - a rotollo. The boys were 3 and 4 when we arrived and were swimming within weeks. Their everyday clothes were swimmies, tees and armbands! DD was born at the BMH in Mtarfa. Wonderful memories, and I'm not surprised you love being there. DH had to go back about 15 years later on business though and was so disappointed in the way it had changed from our day. I have decided just to keep my memories of the olden days. I just loved living there. Had to stop in the middle of this to laugh at DS2 - they are exploring their local area on foot now that they can go further afield and choosing their destination purely by its name. Yesterday was Wasps Nest (byke ride anybody?) and today it's Bottom Barffe! Can't wait for next weekend now. Me, I'll just pop down the garden to Pond's Edge and feed the fish. Have a good day everyone ???

Gillybob I only dip in and out of this thread (but love it when I do read it - such a lovely idea) but although I know a little of your fun with Barclays, what about your toothache?

You have probably updated everyone here but I must have missed your posts - have you been 'sorted' yet? I really felt for you when you were struggling with all that dreadful pain - anyone who has experienced toothache will know how you felt!

Are you all better now?

Good Morning all from Kent. How sad am I? My DH suggested going to M&S Food Hall to get ourselves a nice Chinese for dinner, so I put on a nice culotte jumpsuit, did my hair (as best as I could ) and full make up! We were only out for about 40mins but boy did I feel better. Now just looking forward to our nice Chinese tonight. Have a nice day everyone

Back again to say happy birthday to Ginny. And Puzzler I did laugh at your typo! My hearing doesn't click in til I put my hearing aids in! ?

Happy birthday Ginny I hope you have a good day.

I don't often post but do enjoying reading the thread because everyone is so friendly and it's nice to read normal everyday things rather than the gloom and doom about the virus. Although I feel for Gillybob and what she is going through and it makes me angry that Barclays are not doing what the government says they should be doing.

All this talk of birthdays has reminded me that one grandson is 21 on the 26th May and another grandson is 18 on the first of June so i had better have a look at Moonpig as I live abroad. Are there any other other card companies like Moonpig or Funky Pigeon? My twins are Gemini and one of them had 3 of her children in June too. As bad as me really as my 3 birth children were all born in November. Just as well the other 5 are spread through the year.

Oh I wish Candelle I was referred to an ENT specialist but had to make do with a telephone appointment due to CV . She quite rightly said it was the wrong referral (as I tried to tell my GP) and I have been re-referred to a Maxillo Facial specialist . She did sent me a script for a months worth of antibiotics though . thank you for remembering

Me and your DD must’ve been born under the same in lucky star *EllanVannin]

No sign of Gabriella today ?? Perhaps she’s snoozing in the sunshine on her lovely rattan bench - the one with the big fat cream cushions.
?

Either that or she’s taken herself off to the south coast for the day with a picnic basket.
