Good Morning Sunday

Good morning from a windy but dry NE.
Both hands still extremely painful and am unable to do very much, spent yesterday watching Netflix.
Thinking of you Bellasnana
Hoping gilly had a better night.
Take care everyone.

Oh, for an edit button....but you both know what I meant.

Good morning from a cloudy, damp and still windy Morecambe Bay.
I’ve woken up in quite a grumpy mood, I think the current situation is getting to me. Need to give myself a shake, as I know my problems are trivial compared to many and especially the posters on here who have real problems and sadness. For you,?.
Nothing planned for today. Sunday is bike riding day but it’s too windy. Zoom church later then hopefully the weather calms down a bit so we can venture out.
Take care and stay safe everyone ?

Hello to you all, thinking of Gillybob wish we could do something to help her.

Still no posts from MOnica (weeks now)and Gabriella miss them both, do hope they are alright, as I recall they were both 75ish in age so really hope they post soon and let us know they are keeping well.

Good morning Mick and all the early risers. As Kalu, says it's not very pleasant here in Glasgow.

I too plan a footering day today. a day of faffing and footering sounds good.

I'm still in bed with painful joints and DH has brought me a cuppa and the newspapers. It's my idea of bliss.
I will get up in time for livestream Mass.

Bellasnana, a bittersweet day for you today. ?

Urmstongran, I'm glad to hear that things are improving for you in Spain. I can't get the gambas picture of the other day, out of my head ?
I suspect I may never get abroad again, travel insurance looks very problematic.
We had planned some coach trips in this country, but all the coach tour companies here have collapsed.
I keep thinking of all the fallout, the knock on effect on business and tourism Those poor people who have lost jobs.
Will we ever recover from this?.

Happy anniversary, Nfk, enjoy your posh meal!.?

I hope Gilly has got some rest.

Have the best day you can. We are getting there, albeit slowly!

I too had to open another window to post! Gremlins in the works!

I had the same problem yesterday EllanVannin...with opening a window to post a message to Gransnet....but the “powers that be” in the service dept were most helpful ....All fine now!

A grey chilly day here in West Yorkshire..not too windy yet.Not sure whether to get up or stay a few moments longer in bed?

Wonder what’s in store for today?

Good morning Mick and the GM team.

Bella hope you have a gentle day and enjoy your happy memories. ?
Nfkd have a lovely day and enjoy your takeaway. Congratulations ?

Roast pork for us today and a quiet day for me, as I have had to increase my meds.
Our 7 year old cat brought a dead mouse into the Utility this morning, just as I was making the first cups of coffee. When she heard my partner coming into the kitchen, she scooted quickly into the garden, before he could have stern words with her.

I bought ‘The Familiars’ by Stacey Halls after Gilly and others recommended it ... so I will start that today.

Have a good day all, special good wishes to those who need them and ‘let’s be careful out there’. ?

Blustery but sunny here in South Oxfordshire, temp is 12 degrees which is quite nice, I wish the wind would drop though as I don’t enjoy it.
Nothing much to do today, as it’s too windy for me to plant out some more veggie seedlings , so I might get out an aged Singer and try some of the attachments, just to see what they do. I fancy a look at the ruffler.....

Have a good day everyone and stay safe.

Good morning all from a still blustery Suffolk coast. Phew it did blow yesterday! . I sat in the summerhouse reading for a while but the creaking and groaning (summerhouse not me) worried me and little pooch , so we came in. I thought it was going to ‘blow the house down’.

I made scones with 3 ingredients - sR flour. Lemonade and cream. Came out beautifully. I tried the 2 ingredient chocolate cake too. Chocolate and eggs. Lovely!

Poor little plants are all looking sorry for themselves being blown to kingdom come. Maybe they’ll recover ?. We have a coastal garden too and it’s always dicey putting young plants out.

Have a lovely Sunday everyone ?

Good morning from east London, grey and blustery. Big day today; we’re going to Chichester to pick up DS as this is the last day he can stay in his uni accommodation. I’ve been using his bedroom for my zoom choirs and tootling on DD’s old keyboard and recorder and have had to relocate all my stuff this morning. As we won’t be able to go for lunch in the usual place, he’s cooking us a meal which could be interesting as he’s not a recipe follower like me. I’ve made malteaser tiffin as my contribution. Hope you have a good day.

Well...didn’t stay in bed for long...the doorbell rang.

Our window cleaner had arrived . Had to open the side gate for him...First since March. I guess he needs to earn his crust. At least I shall have clean windows...

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. A bit less wild today and I'll inspect the damage after brekkie.

I footered yesterday Kalu and achieved very little but slept well apart from disturbing dreams.
We had a 10 screen family zoom quiz last night - family popping up like celebrity squares from as far as New Zealand, North Jutland, York, Scottish Highlands, Edinburgh and us.
Maybe this will be the New Normal? I don't like to think of last times we will ever do something Marydoll
You will go to to the ball! [magic wand]

Hugs to you Bellasnana on this important day and to Nfk and Urmston and anyone celebrating in these strange times.

Oh Nannatwiglet please send your windowcleaner to my house afterwards. Ours has disappeared since lockdown ?
Hope he’s okay.

Good Morning from a very dull and cold Fife. Better than yesterday though. Changed routine slightly this morning so have had breakfast. I will do my usual household chores today and that also includes cleaning out fridge. Ive been going in and out there for days now and keep saying 'I must clean this fridge out' and so far haven't, on my to do list today though - joy! Sending hugs to all in need of a little pick me up. Try and enjoy your day.

Grey here, dozed until 8, have now had tea and toast. Must tidy front garden today a nd prune the lower part of the climbing rose which has been so beautiful, DH saw someone taking a photo of it! I wont be able to get to the top with the lopping shears until the plaster is taken off my wrist. Thinking of Gillybob and Bellasnana. Have a good day Nfk.

Good morning from a sunny Silver Coast in Portugal. DH and the dogs are still asleep so breakfast wont be for a while.
Bellasnana for you today as you look back on lovely memories of your dear husband.
Happy anniversary Nflkdumpling and I hope you enjoy your posh takeaway.
Thinking of Gillybob and hoping she has had a better night. If only there was some way we could help her because it all seems so unfair.

Thinking of everyone in pain and hope it lessens and they have a good day. My own pain is lessening at last which I am hoping means that the oral chemo is working.

It must seem strange without Dexter there Dragonfly but hopefully he will settle down back in his home.

Morning Mick and all from a windy S Welsh coast.
Croissants for breakfast this morning, what a treat.
Yesterday the sea was so rough and there were huge waves, we went for a short walk but I hope it warms up again.
There are bits and bobs that need doing here but I will ignore them for another day I think.
Roast beef and gravy later.
Happy Anniversary Nfk ?
? for Bellasnana
Stay safe everyone.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a grey South Yorkshire. A broken, painful night for both of us - don’t know what is causing my pain, but DH had a bit of a fall yesterday (the details are too ridiculous to relate but typical of him) and is feeling it now. I am grumpy, he is very grumpy. Roast pork for lunch. Happy Anniversary to NfkD and Mr NfkD??! Bella be kind to yourself today.
Stay safe folks.

Thinking of you Bellasnana

Have a lovely anniversary NfkandDH ?

Sunny and windy here in North Somerset and another day without real purpose, though I could weed the front border.

Have taken DH his tea and pills and he is not with it at all. Will see how he is when up and dressed but it looks like a difficult day.

Doesn’t feel like Sunday with no church and because we are currently without an incumbent we don’t have a streamed service either. I miss it so much and radio versions, whilst helpful, are not the same.

Good morning Mick - still enjoying this site although not posting. I get so annoyed at myself just now for feeling so low when I realise my pain from the cracked rib will heal and so many are living with long term conditions which are so debilitating. Although on my own with a very small family I have plenty of folks keeping in touch and see my DS and DGS once a week when they deliver bits and pieces at the back door and retreat to the bottom of the garden for a wee chat. Yesterday I was able to leave something on the doorstep for DGS. During our one day heatwave up here in the Highlands I was looking through a suitcase for a piece of summer clothing and found a Christmas present I had bought in advance and hidden away! It was a Newton's Cradle and had been on his wish list the last two years. I was sure when he was opening his presents I had bought one but thought it was just Granny being silly again!! He was absolutely delighted. Pretty grey day with us up here but the wind has definitely died down and the forecast is better for next week. Off to have some breakfast and catch up with some of the other threads I follow. Will definitely keep off the political ones today. I will be thinking on Urmstongran enjoying a lazy Spanish Sunday. I know the area where she is so well and really hope the Spanish economy and people continue on an upward slope.

Good morning from the NE coast where we have a dull start to Sunday . It’s not quite as windy as it was yesterday when it was almost impossible to walk .

I went for a little walk on the beach to clear my head but had to cut it short as the wind was almost lifting me off my feet . As others have said my garden looks like it has been hit by a tornado .

Anyway is thought I would wait until a bit later to post today as really didn’t want to hijack this lovely thread with my woes and misery again. I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone for listening to my ramblings and for the very good and helpful advice given.

I do hope everyone has the best Sunday possible . I just want to give all you lovely people a huge {{hug}}

Love, Gillybob x

Good morning Mick and everyone. It's brightening up here in the Gower after a grey start and the wind has dropped compared to the last few days.
As others have said, wind is often a price to pay for living by the coast. The plants have taken a bit of a battering but fortunately survived it all, I think all due to my WP's strategic planting ?

Bellasnana, as Marydoll says it will be a bitter sweet day for you today. Love never leaves, you shared it, so remember the beautiful times you shared as they do remain ?

Slow cooked belly pork with onion gravy for dinner later, roasties instead of mash I think, greens and carrots and I mustn't forget the Yorkshire pudding ?

I have very chatty phonecalls yesterday, one very long one with my WP's sister. I think in the end she chatted me out, odd really because I like to chat ?. I think I'll get my non artistic art work going again today and have a "chill out" day (as my nephew 1 would say) ?

Happy Anniversary ? to you and your DH NflkDumpling, enjoy your posh meal ?

Take it was Marydoll and I hope you are feeling more at ease today gillybob ?

Be kind to yourselves everyone ❤️

Good morning everyone. Yesterday my internet link had hiccups, probably because of the gale force winds, and I lost both posts I tried to send, so I'm getting in before reading today's posts! So frustrating. What I wanted to do was add my fury on behalf of gillybob. This latest of many last straws is unbelievable, poor soul, and I do so feel for you. Good times must surely be ahead soon. Yesterday was very much a non-day for me and I didn't really get my act together until evening. Then the sun shone and the gale dropped back to a very stiff breeze so I took myself out for a stomp and felt better for it. It was a circuit through the woods and home via the lanes that I used to do many years ago. Now, although I felt I was maintaining a good pace, it took me nearly ten minutes longer. Poor old soul that I have obviously become! Round here we're looking forward to the slight easing of lockdown starting next Thursday and I already have two garden catch-ups booked. Someone has also mentioned tai chi on the beach, but if we got the turn out we had last year we'd stretch the whole three miles of sand using social distancing! Seeing my family is a way off yet - my nearest, DD and two GDDs, are 80 miles away. So that won't be until July, going by Nicola's roadmap, but it's lovely to know that it will happen sometime soon-ish. Poor DD is champing at the bit to be let loose. She was widowed four years ago and then towards the end of last year she met a lovely man, widowed like herself. The only problem is that she's up here and he's deep into Englandshire. They met up with their children in tow (five teenagers between them!) several times and also just the two of them, and it is a serious relationship - but lockdown has certainly put the brakes on it somewhat. They video chat every evening but it's not the same is it. She'll be off down there at the first opportunity I know, but I'm sure we'll have our own meet up first. But all that is way ahead and there's another day of lockdown ahead today in which I promise myself I shall do all the things I couldn't be bothered doing yesterday. Or not ?. I hope everyone is as well and as happy as they can be in these strange times. Sending ? to all ?
