Good Morning Thursday

Good morning everyone from Inverness where is is dry and cloudy but hopefully the sun will pop out later ?
I had a lovely surprise visit yesterday from DD2 and family. I was pottering about and feeling a bit bored when she messaged to say they were nearby so should they stop and get some pizzas and come for tea. It was lovely to actually have them inside the house for a while and the DGC went running into their bedrooms which they’d not seen for ages. I almost thought they were going to ask for a sleepover but I think that’s maybe planned for next week sometime. I felt really happy after their visit ?
Have a safe journey up to Scotland mancgirl and enjoy your walking. I’ll get a move on and order the right weather for you!
Ouch gingster that sounds painful - I hope your foot is better soon
Wishing all GMorningers the best day possible and take care whatever the day brings ?

Morning all from a cloudy North Leicestershire.

Our cleaner is coming this morning and seems to break something every time she comes lately.

Out for lunch with DS1 today - we havent seen him for about a month though we message most days obviously.

DD1 and her children came yesterday - it was lovely to see them and enjoy their chatter.

Enjoy your days everyone.

Good morning all. Grey in Essex. I thought we were having a heatwave this week! ?.

Went to my hairdressers yesterday (at her house). Stepped out into her garden, barefooted, and stood on a wasp. ?. She kindly put vinegar on the sting site and it worked like magic. The pain went and I forgot about it til early this morning. I woke up with a swollen foot and it’s very sore. Anyway I had a discussion with her about my hair and we decided to leave the colour and just have a trim up. See how it goes. Maw - thanks, your advice made up my mind. ?

It seems like everyone is off on a well deserved break. grammaretto have a lovely time at the seaside.
mancgirl - enjoy Scotland.
Mick nice to look forward to your break in Harrogate.
Scentia - Champneys! Oooooooo

We have lots of mini birthday celebrations this coming week. DIL ‘s today. We’ll see her for a glass of something this evening. DGD’s 18th tomorrow. Her family are coming to us for a birthday lunch on Saturday. Mine next week (a big one) . A get together with my lovely DB’s . Lots of baking to be done.

Taking little pooch to the vet today, as she limps every evening. She runs and chases her ball all day, no problem, .hope it’s just a sprain. ?.

Have a pleasant day all. ?

Good morning from a very grey Essex by the sea.
Yesterday we booked a gite in France for a week in September. We are driving down to Carcassonne, taking a couple of days to get there and back.
This morning we are off to the supermarket and this afternoon DH will meet up with a couple of friends for a drink and to put the world to rights.
Have a great day everyone and stay safe xx

Sun’s up here! ?
Good morning everyone from Malaga where it’s pleasantly warm and the palm trees are still. I’m having my cuppa on the balcony listening to the wood pigeons. Himself is still snoozing - most unusual, he must be tired. Mind you he does a lot of walking and he is 68y - I think age catches up on him now and again!

No beach today. It’s nice to avoid the sun some days I’m sure my skin appreciates it! Did anyone see those photos of Ulrikka Johnson yesterday? They were selfies she took of how her skin had changed over the years by spending so much time in the sun. I was shocked by her appearance to be honest.

Glad to hear your factory orders are coming in thick and fast Scentia. Fingers crossed now for you gillybob.

We are meeting friends for dinner at 9pm. Other than that, no plans. I might give myself a pedicure.

Hope Thursday is good to us all. Keep safe everyone that’s the main thing. Thinking of you BlueSapphire. x

Good Morning from another bright Fife. If like yesterday it will turn out nice for the day I hope. Had DGS's yesterday for a little while whilst DD had some def needed time to herself. DGS's were very good, they also enjoyed the change of company and routine. Flooring all laid and looking swish. Have to do some shopping today looking like Old Mother Hubbard. Hopefully things are beginning to look up for those with troubles and anxieties, just keep it going. Best wishes to all. Take care.

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

My partner is returning to the dentist today, one of his fillings fell out. It was only put in three weeks ago at a cost of £200. So we will see what happens today.

Yesterday evening we watched quite an interesting television programme about the British ‘stiff upper lip’, which was presented by Ian Hislop. I have woken up feeling a distinct lack of ‘stiff upper lip’.

Good wishes to all and ? to those who need them.

Good morning Mick and all from a dry Manchester. Off to Scotland for a few days this morning. Forecast isn't too bad, so hopefully we can get a few walks in. I don't think any of the distilleries are open, which is Mr M's favourite tour. Yesterday my dil did a surprise tapas lunch for my birthday which is while we are away. She said if we're not going to Spain, she will bring Spain to us. Such a thoughtful girl . Hope everyone has a good day. (((hugs))) for those who need one for those with extra cares and worries.

Morning all from a dry and calm Andalusia where the wind of yesterday seems to have disappeared- bedding change today so hopefully it’ll turn up later!

Off to a friend’s birthday bash this evening so will just pootle around mi Casa today and read what you Grans are up to! That weekend break at the seaside sounds lovely Grammaretto and glad you’ve sorted your trip Mick - love it when a plan comes together!

Good Morning all from Severnside. It’s dry and there is a bit of blue peeping out from the clouds.

Off to the mail box first thing before I open up and then I think I’ll have a day of pottering as I’ve caught up with most things. I’ll message my SiL to arrange a chat.

Have the best day you can everyone ?

Good morning Mick and all who follow, from the Scottish Borders.
Hope your tickets arrive.
Still unsettled weather here. The late afternoons are the best time.
I got stuck into gardening yesterday and the nettle stings are still tingling.
We are going to be away from Wi-Fi for a few days for a weekend at the seaside with my books and my knitting.
Cherrycrezzy asked me to say she is taking a break from posting for a while.
I hope everyone has the best day they can.

Good morning Mick and all his followers. You sound as if you are back to normal Mick. Enjoy your day. I popped into a service station food shop yesterday and realised how long it was since I had been into a shop.
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the seaside yesterday although the weather could have tried harder. I got soaked when I took the dog for a quick walk.
Click and collect and ironing for me today. Tomorrow will be a day of cooking, ready for DD & SIL to return.
I hope Gillybob had good news yesterday and love to everyone who is struggling.

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire, a little grey out there today but the sun is looking for his hat behind that cloud!
DD is coming for a sleepover with DGS tonight and then we are having lunch with my DSiS. I will make her a nice Buddha Bowl which is a delight on the eye if nothing else. It is my specialty!
Today more deliveries and jobs on at the factory, extra busy as DH is off camping in the morning. I am busily trying to get in touch with Champneys to rearrange our spa weekend.
I do hope you all have the best day you can, thinking about all our Good Morning Crew who are not having a good time of it. Marydoll hope your cough is easing EV hope you GGD has a good birthday with her Mummy and Nanna if the carer is anything like the people I work with he/she will be delightful. Anyone else who is not quite feeling it today, try to have the best day you can muster. ❤️

Dry and bright start in Cumbria. Still in bed but will get up soon. A quietish day for me. Perhaps I'll get some housework done! Have a good day everyone if possible.

Good morning from a grey E Kent. We had a tiny drizzle last evening, but being St. Swithin’s day, make one wonder what the next 40 days have to offer. Grey skies?
It sound that you are managing to ease back into almost normal,*Mick*. Keep it up.
Nothing on today. Market with wonderful local butcher and local meat, animals raised and butchered no more than 10 miles away. DS1 wants pork sausages, not easily available in India.
Glad to hear from you Marydoll, keep doing nothing! All good wishes to the others.
Stay safe.
