Good Morning Friday

Good morning Mick and all his followers. I think you may be out and about a bit more before too long Mick? Are you tempted to a bus ride?
We have good, steady rain here in Suffolk this morning and I swear the plants are growing already - particularly the bindweed! I shall be interested to see how much water collects in the water butt - it collects from the shed roof. We set it up during the first week of lockdown, which was probably the cause of this prolonged good weather!
The trouble with coming to the thread this late, is that I can’t remember all the posts to comment on! Take it easy under the stairs Marydoll!

Good morning from overcast Manchester. Just a quick one. On nan duties today. Fingers crossed for a safe arrival! Report tomorrow

We’ll be waiting mancgirl - hope all goes well ?

Good ( Mid ) Morning Everyone, The rain has finally arrived in south Norwich and the blackbird is singing away? . Enjoyed a drive to the coast yesterday. The North sea looked very grey and angry but later turned to blue matching the sky ! Have a good day and keep safe .

Good morning from the north. It is so cold and wet here today I have put the heating back on. Plan to start a new sewing project as fabric has arrived so feeling motivated. May go out for a walk in wellies and full winter gear as I sleep much better. I started sorting out some photos. Thoroughly enjoyed all the memories and put them all back where they were. Wishing all a good day especially now that garden visiting is cheering folks up.

Thank you for the dried fruit cure, Gingster, I will try it.

You do really need to read the Mantel trilogy in order or you will miss a lot. Would keep you busy for at least a couple of months!

Good morning from the Scottish Borders where it is fairly warm and very sunny (sorry Glasgow!)
It has rained a lot and the plants stinging nettles are growing huge .
Such excitement this morning . The courier texted me to ask for directions to deliver my parcel . This is after 12 emails and 2 complaints from me. They haven't actually delivered it yet but it's a start!

DD's dog died so there is sadness in their household and here too because she was a lovely dog with a beautiful nature.

Nothing to us from the Scottish Gov Mardoll but MrG may not have opened his emails. We are making our own decisions now and being very careful. Still staying home.

Hope you all have the best day you can.

Good morning from a cloudy, breezy Colchester. A bit of drizzle but more proper rain is needed.
It's DS birthday today but he is working a late shift and so no celebration today. Tomorrow's bbq was cancelled and it looks as though our replacement visit to DDs garden will be kyboshed by the weather.
I've been to Lidl and now need an indoor occupation for the next few days.

Good morning from a very damp and grey East Midlands.

I’ve already made a cottage cheese quiche and date cake for tea today. Not feeling like doing much else. DH has seen a car that he wants to go and look at over at Birmingham which I dont fancy one bit. If he gets it then it will be me doing all the driving about to get him there and back on my own. I used to thrive on this sort of stuff and now i seem to have lost my mojo entirely.

Stay safe and have a great day. Friday already and still the lockdown goes on. Fed up. X

I think after this lock down the mental health bill will be massive as my mood have certainly changed from the person i used to be.

I know how you feel Purplepixie ! I feel a bit withdrawn

Good morning all from Glasgow where we now have a sunny windy day.

A skype visit with GD2 and SiL in Australia this morning. They are in Queensland where lockdown easing is so much quicker than here.

Hope you are feeling a bit better today BlueSapphire and you feel like joining us soon.

Have the best day you can everyone.

Gramamretto, it was a text message I got from the Scottish Office shielding number.

They must have read my survey, in the space of an hour, I had a call from my RA consultant and then my GP!

Anyway, as an interim measure, I'm to take my lung rescue steroids for my RA until they come up with a cunning plan to get me into hospital.

I haven't even managed to get the cupboard door open, let alone tidy it and DH is now back, happy as Larry.

Sorry Maths class! My head is mince today!!!!!

A very late good morning from a day of mixed weather in Newcastle. One minute its sunny the next its pouring with rain. I went to Asda earlier and there wasn't a single person queuing. I think everyone has now got this shopping malarkey sorted. I'm actually quite enjoying supermarket shopping!
My challenge for today is to source interesting presents online for my sisters 70th birthday. She is almost impossible to buy for and there really is nothing that she wants or needs. I'm getting a few ideas together and I'm enjoying the challenge.

urmston .... 1) I so envy you being in Malaga. I absolutely love the place and we were there this time last year. Lucky you.
2) A Little Life. Oh yes, one of my favourite books too.

for anyone feeling a bit down today.
