Good Morning Monday

You did the best thing you could glammagran and had the doors open, letting the air circulate. Can understand you worrying though. It’s all so unnatural.

Eldest DD (70 miles away) invited us over for a bbq yesterday. I wasn’t terribly keen as I knew the weather forecast wasn’t particularly good. In the end we were persuaded as she said the BBC forecast showed it to be fine. Her in-laws had come down to stay with them from the N.E. - we get on well with them. All went well until the food was just about to be served when the heavens opened. We had to eat at their dining table in the kitchen conservatory with the doors open but social distancing went out of the window crowded round the table. It was lovely to see everyone for the first social occasion this year but I’m afraid I’m going to worry for the next n days.

Wishing everyone a good Monday despite a very wet day.

Hi Legs55. I don't know if you realise, but you don't need to wait for the daily email to arrive to post on GN. You can just log onto GN, click forums and then click chat. Apologies if you are already aware of this. ?

Thank you Puzzler x

Welcome Bookworm to our friendly Good Morning thread. ?

Good Luck BladeAnnie too with your tear ducts appointment. ?
I’ll pm you. Thinking of you, hope it all goes well. ?

Good morning all. Wet & windy here in Devon, supposed to brighten up later.

I went for petrol earlier & encountered a snow plough on my way back home, it is still July isn't it????

I need to pop out for a bit of shopping later. Tomorrow I'm out early to meet DD to go shopping. Highlight of my day will be choosing the new light fittings for my Lounge, spending my Birthday money plus some, I'll be like a kid in a sweetie shop

@NannyTopsy getting up early doesn't help me with GN as I don't usually get my email until after 9.30 sometimes later, I'm normally up about 7.00 & can be out before email arrives

Good Morning from wet Harrogate, the good news it should be better at the end of the week, Mick!
Have a bit of baking to do this morning, then a phone call to a school friend (we've been friends since we were 12!!) Meet up regularly despite her living in Ayrshire and me in North Yorkshire

Morning everyone. Hope you are all keeping well. A dark wet morning here in Sherwood. Just ordered veg etc from Kerry's to be delivered Sunday. I do miss the lovely green grocer l used in Huthwaite just 10 minutes down the road. I find shopping here very difficult. Saw my sisters Thursday. It really cheered us up. Also good news my niece is having her first child. My youngest sister back to work l think they're starting face to face interviews again today. Will find out later how it's all gone. She wishes she could retire. Enjoy your day everyone.

Very wet and very windy in Blackburn today. I was hoping to do a bit of much needed gardening but no chance. I just hope my artificial ivy fences don't fall down in this wind.

Good morning from a wet and windy Durham. Off to take my car into the bodyshop for repair - £550ish, but to pay my excesses and increased premiums for the next x years would be more, so biting the bullet.

Best wishes to Marydoll (my mother had that awful illness) and Gillybob too. X

Good Morning All x
Hate to say it but it's more like November ! Stair rods, blowing a gale and heavy skies---except that it's not an icy wind.
Summer ? It's given us a miss here since those 3 days in June.

I'm waiting for the gas-check man so made sure I was up, washed and suitably clad. They call anytime from 08.00 until 12.30, so won't put the hoover on just in case ( my excuse ) it's out ready to show willing

A lovely smell of mint in the kitchen which was the remains of the mint sauce from my lamb chops, better than an air freshener ( fresh mint )

Good to see you back Grandmafrench, I'm sure you'll notice a difference with the broadband, I know I do, with a new hub and fibre broadband. A gecko ? How lovely.Quite a menagerie, love it. Reminds me of Fred in Oz, the big blue-tongued lizard who I used to talk to every morning and give him a lovely fresh lettuce for his breakfast. He was a big lad.

Hope all goes well for you Marydoll and our friend's eye procedure ( forgotten who it was ) . A warm welcome to Bookworm too. Fingers crossed for Gilly for a better day x

Oooo, my fav. programme has just started--Murder Mystery and My Family. I think I've seen this episode It's interesting though.

Thoughts to our missing friends hoping that they're on the mend x

Stay safe everyone and have as good a day as you can. x

Welcome Bookworm! The trick with this thread is to get in early - if I leave it too late, I never catch up!

Good morning from a wet NE where it promises to continue for the rest of the day.
DH and I went out for a walk yesterday afternoon, I slept for two hours when I returned.
This afternoon I have a telephone appointment with the bank to discuss my finances. I think someone has noticed the inactivity on my account, DH has been doing all the shopping online.
Thinking of you Marydoll and others with treatments and worries.

Good luck Marydoll.

A very late good morning from Shetland where we are waking later and later. Rushing off now to walk to the fishing station before the rain comes in. Will be more prepared with waterproofs today. Thinking especially of Marydoll and Gilly ? take care and stay safe everyone ?

Just read all the posts.
Hope your hospital treatment goes well Marydoll and that the titrated dose gives you fewer side effects.

Hello to all the newbies - it’s good to have you join our gang!
?

Good morning Mick and all

Grey , thundery and teaming with rain here in S E Essex ☔️☔️

Off to the gym this morning, nervous but I have to try and get back into my routine as if not I will just stay home vegetate and worry about all and sundry.

Fancy Sausage, mash and onion gravy for dinner.

Thinking of Marydoll having her treatment today and all our missing posters with troubles ???

Fingers crossed for gillybob getting her order today ?

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️

Good Morning to you all, from a very wet Cambs.,

Warm, good wishes to you Marydoll.

Spangler & Gingster, I haven't shown your MG photos to DH, he will be sooo ..!!

Also Gingster, enjoy your Suffolk home.
We just go to our little "home-from-home", on Norfolk coast for a few days at a time. We are going late this Wednesday, as we have a gas delivery on Thursday.

I now have to finish Ocado order, that's due on Wed.,

Take Care Folks

Good morning all,

It's chucking it down in South Yorkshire as greyduster says. It seems to be the case for most of the country today, doesn't it?

I need to pop out to our local card shop as there are several family birthdays cropping up soon, including some "big" ones. This year is one of those years for them!

Other than that, it will be indoors for me. I've some ironing to tackle again.

Keep safe everyone ?.

Sun’s up here! ?
Good morning everyone from Malaga ?

I’m later this morning. Had a blissful lie in after a great night’s sleep. Our youngest daughter phoned and we chatted for almost an hour. The first Monday of the school summer holidays so she has two excited children with friends coming to play. She said it’s pouring with rain in Manchester. Oh dear.

I’ve made the sandwiches for the beach so I’m going to enjoy my coffee now sat on the balcony and read all your posts.

I finished my novel yesterday it only took me 2 days to read it as I couldn’t put it down. I shall choose another one for the beach before we set off.

Hope Monday is good to us all. Keep safe everyone that’s the main thing.

Oh good luck gillybob securing that order.
?

Late start after a sleepless night - DD worried about DGD1 who is not coping well with current situation and not working, so having offloaded I am worrying for her.

We had planned to venture to Bath for the first time but it’s wet and windy so will postpone our trip till we see what the weather is like later.

Thinking of Marydoll, Gillybob and others with problems. Keep safe, everyone.

Good morning Mick and everyone from a miserable rainy Lancashire. The rain looks like it's here for the day,luckily I did a shop yesterday when it was warm and sunny. Aldi was fairly quiet and everyone wearing masks.I walked there so didn't need a mask for the bus.
Today I'm sorting the wardrobes so I can hang up my T Shirts which have been rolled (Marie Kendo) in drawers .A lot of the thinner ones are badly creased when taken out .
Later I'll get the sewing machine out and hope it still works, not been used for a few years. I intend making a few masks if I can find suitable elastic.
Who'd have thought only six months ago we would be wearing masks and social distancing !!.
Hope your new treatment reduces your pain levels Marydoll and that Gillybob has a more uplifting day. Best wishes to all

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. It chucking it down in South Yorkshire at the moment - set for the day I think, so an in day. I might bake, and do a bit more knitting having finally sorted casting on the neck band. I knitted a row on the double ended needle and managed to join the whole thing together in a circle, so I had to take it off and start again. It’s eleven years since I knitted a neck band; I’d forgotten how utterly tedious it is! Never again. If I need a cardigan, I’ll go out and buy one! Have a good safe day folks.

Good morning from a very wet Newcastle. It was warm and sunny for most of the weekend. Which was an unexpected pleasure!

marydoll your Paisley picture bought back a flood of memories- mostly happy ones of working there for 15 years. I hope today's treatment goes well for you.

Hope everyone has a good day wherever they are and whatever they do.
