Good morning Sunday

Looking forward to visit from young relatives for a garden lunch and the forecast looks reasonable. If it rains we shall have to picnic socially distantly indoors so hoping for no showers until later on. This is the most excitement we have had in months and I fear we will have to make it last for some time if the rising infection rates continue.

Thinking of Marydoll and the Gillybobs and all those in need of support and care.

MellowYellow your granddaughter has a future in hairdressing! She has given you a very “edgy” style ?‍?

I hope you sort out your fraudulent withdrawal swiftly. Opportunists can take a small amount, and if that works they dip in again and go for the big numbers.

Hope it doesn’t spoil your Sunday.

Good morning grandMattie and all.
Quite damp, cool and overcast here in the Scottish Borders. My feet are wet from walking around the garden this morning. It is a green and pleasant land so I am not complaining. I am so unused to heat that I couldn't bear to be in a hot country.

I like the look MellowYellow!

We had cuddles with our DGC yesterday and played blowing bubbles and frisbie for ages hours. It was officially the end of shielding for us, though we are still keeping safe.
I hope Mick is enjoying his break and I hope MrGillybob is doing well.
Have a good Sunday everyone.

Good morning Mick, Mattie and all

I am laying quietly in bed so as not to wake up my two little nieces in the room next door it is their first sleep over here with Mummy & Daddy (my younger sister and brother in law). It was near 11pm when they settled to sleep, they definitely need a lay-in.

Not sure what our plans are for today, other than rack of lamb for dinner this evening.

Hope Mrgillybob, Marydoll and all poorly goodmorningers are on the mend.

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️

Wet again in Blackburn. Have to go out in a bit to take friend's birthday pressie and card to her - just hope she is at church otherwise it means a trip to her house, which I don't want to do. I'll have to leave pressie by door, ring bell and step well back. Just hope it's not raining then!
Hope someone has some sunshine in the UK!

Good morning, Grandmattie, Michael in absentia, and all GNs. The sun is shining in South Yorkshire and it will be warm again. I had a horrendous bout of the runs last night and feel a bit washed out this morning, so not doing much today. No idea what caused it. We both ate the same things and DH was fine. We will maybe go down the lane and see how ripe the blackberries are, and face time both the children later. Happy Sunday one and all.

Good Morning to jaggy64, and hope to see you here again.

Good Morning from a bright and sunny Black Country.

It was mixed yesterday, sunny one minute, belting it down with rain the next. I went over to my flat to give a clean and a once over for the tenant who collects the keys tomorrow.

Over to DD's today for a BBQ. Have to take own cutlery and plates, and she will be cleaning the downstairs loo for just our use. What a palaver, but necessary for now. They had a great time in Cardigan Bay last week, so much so they are booking for next year.

Wishing everyone a good day, with best wishes to the gillys Marydoll Dragonfly and anyone unwell or needing a hug.

Good morning Grandmattie and the rest of the team.
Gloriously sunny in Suffolk with a fresh breeze - just right for continuing the work in the garden. Roast chicken and home grown veg tonight. DH doesn’t like cold chicken, so I cut them in half and I shall roast the second half tomorrow with salad.
The haircut was a success, which is never a given with a new hairdresser, and I feel neat and tidy again.
NFKdumpling our swifts are still here - I am sitting in bed listening to them screaming overhead. They are a big flock now so this must have been a successful season for them.
God bless everyone x

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning All. Thanks to grandmattie for getting us going and mick I hope you are having a good time. pantglas I couldn't cope in those temperatures without air con! grey duster poor you! Mum's remedy was dry toast and flat lemonade. I had a lovely catch up with family at my daughter's last night. We had takeaway pizza and a couple of hours of good chat. My son and his partner and her daughter are off to North Wales for a week. I hope they have a good time as they deserve a break. Today is a very quiet one for me. I will have to do a quick shop as I have dgs all day at my house tomorrow and will need nice things for him ?. Have a good Sunday all.

Good morning from a wet Morecambe Bay. It needs to dry up because I’ve got more gardening here before I start on everyone else’s next week.
Zoom church and a bit of exercise first. Mr G did suggest attending the short service in the church but for now I think it’s Zoom.
Wishing everyone a good day especially Marydoll and the Gillys
Take care and stay safe everyone ?

Good morning from the NE where it is now dry after overnight rain.
Better night for both of us until rudely awakened by a tree surgeon at the next door property, who starts work at 8am on a Sunday ?
Three venues, within a mile of us, have been closed due to a covidiot. He was waiting for the results of a test and decided to have a night out with the lads. He now has the virus and that means that everyone he was with and the taxis they used.
Hope Mr gillybob is recovering.

Good morning from the NE coast where we have a fine start to Sunday . I have a wash just about finished that I hope I will get dried outside today .

Thank you for opening this morning GrandMattie of course you are a regular I hope Mick has a lovely break in Harrogate. At least the weather should be better than his last visit when if I recall correctly, it lashed down the whole time .

You need to get straight into the bank MellowYellow as fraud stares often start by taking a very small amount just to prove they can then move up a notch by taking a much larger amount . Love the hairstyle btw

I had little Evie Button again yesterday afternoon (well until after 7pm) as DD had another rotten shift at work . I’m sure they are just giving her the cr*p. We had the best fun playing with water in the garden again (her latest favourite activity) and all my pots are well and truly watered .

DH just pottered around yesterday. He said sitting down was very uncomfortable so he had to kind of hover to eat his meals which isn’t ideal . He’s in a fair bit of pain and the catheter is driving him mad as he is still getting the constant urge to go to the loo (which happened last time ) . He was up and down a lot during the night again so I think it will be a late start for him today . We are at the hospital for 9am again tomorrow which is the worst possible appointment time to get into the city centre from here. I will no doubt have a very long wait in the car park .

Thinking as usual of our missing friends and those feeling poorly or under the weather especially dragonfly CherryCezzy and BlueSapphire . Hoping Marydoll is starting to feel the benefit of her treatment too.

Have a good Sunday everyone . I hope today is kind to us all .

Love Gillybob xx

So sorry about the gobbledygook MellowYellow . Should have read “straight onto the bank” and fraudsters not fraud stares . Grrrr

Morning all.
Glad your ‘boy’ is home, * gillybob*hope the catheter will be out soon. My husband had one for several weeks after his ‘experience’ last year, got really adept at changing the bag, great relief after it was removed and no real after effects. Best of luck now and to you with your own health problems.

Thank you all, for hair comments! Her mother is a hairdresser, and a very good one! The budding hair stylist has a lot to learn ha ha. Thanks also for the scam info. I've just contacted my bank and that's sorted. I love this thread and the warmth and help from it. Aw......

Good Morning All x.
Blustery, cloudy and showery here in the Mersey Estuary. Only 18 degrees for us today I think, so that calls for the wearing of a jumper What am I like ?

I've been writing down the recipe etc. for the onion marmalade as it sounds delicious to have with cold meat etc.
I miss mum's lovely chutney's of all flavours.

2 Welsh lamb steaks for me today with fresh garden peas and little chats-----I'll need about 50 not greedy---just like a lot. Mint sauce to make. Galia melon chunks for afters.

Greyduster, grated apple is what I have if the tum is upset ( runs ) it acts as a "cleanser" in that area.

Hope the weather is kind to Mick as Harrogate is lovely when you have the sun. I also hope he has time to visit Ripon cathedral which is spectacular. I've lost count of all the church's/ cathedrals everywhere my friend and I used to visit and leave our names in all the visitors books, home and abroad.

Warm in Spain I notice, we're lucky to get half that temperature with winds from the Atlantic. Anything under 25 degrees and I wear a jumper. I feel so different in 30 degrees, happier and healthier.

I hope the Gillybob's had a good night, particularly MrG, as there's nothing like a good night's sleep for wellness. x

Thoughts to those with upsets of sorts and to our missing friends and hope things improve for you.
Everyone enjoy the day xx

Good Morning everyone. Another fine, hot, blue and breezy morning in the S of ??. Wishing you some cooling air in your cauldron Urms and with your cauldron (?) Pants. No energetic plans for us today - hot enough to abandon any activities except for reading, ins and outs of the pool, and listening to the birds. Too hot to eat outside so will take advantage of some air conditioned comfort to snack and definitely for our supper, which today will be lamb with garlic and (some of our neighbour’s) fresh rosemary and our own mint sauce for DH, little sauté potatoes and lots of veggies. Don’t often have a roast on Sunday but today will be an exception.

Great to hear that family meet ups are back in fashion - for all those who can - and some are out and about. Loved both Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocketman, NanKate but BR was spoiled a little for me by the Freddie Mercury character looking like too much of a caricature....those teeth finally got to me in the end! ? Three Billboards? Nortstat. Wow, I so loved that film - and what fine acting.

Georgesgran so sorry for clearly getting you confused with gillgran. Hope that life and your DH’s health now starts to be on the up! How you’ve both struggled. Sending you all the best. Cornergran really hope you feel better today and, soon, less washed out. Doubtless it’s a family phone call that’s distressed you. They’re the worst, but try to be kind to yourself and stay rational until you feel better. What it is they say? Don’t worry about stuff you definitely cannot change. Although it’s often impossible to do that, it’s still the best advice and hopefully stops you being worn down by it all. Pottering in your garden will have a much better effect on your well-being!

Mellow have to say your little GD has a brilliant sense to humour ?

Early days yet for Mr bobs but good to know that he is up and on the move a little. Hopefully after an even worse than usual start to your day with traffic and timetables and life’s (!&&$@ nonsense, your day tomorrow will improve, gilly and your DH will start to benefit from the surgery and heal quickly. You so need him back in action - running your empire on your own is definitely short on fun, I’m sure you’d agree. Good luck with it all. Get him better and then face life again stronger with two !

Everyone struggling - sending you the best and fond wishes for a good day today. If you’re out and about, please take care and keep safe. Hugs x ????

Morning all from an already warm South Notts, I'm feeling a little weary although I've only just got up. Well, I got most of the ironing out of the way (is there a worse job during this heat?) and I don't think I'll be doing much else today except the weekly shop and maybe a little drive.

Hope all is well with everyone especially those with illness or worries.

Good Morning to you all from a bright, sunny, very warm Cambs.,
Thank you for opening grandMattie, I hope Mick is enjoying his break.

We got back home yesterday, after a few days at our little "home-from-home" on the Norfolk coast, (we had to go as we had a gas delivery). We took our 11 yr. old "special" DGD with us for the first time this year. She had a lovely time in the sea with grandad, lots of bike/scooter/triker riding on our plot.

Grandmafrench, my DH (see grandad, above!), is now recovering well since his operation a month ago. so his first"play" with DGD in the sea was good, he's not quite ready for the bike rides..!! )
MrGillybob will understand..! Thinking of the gillybobs, & wishing you both well.

All good health to Marydoll, & all others with problems, .

Take Care Folks.

Our workmen haven't yet finished replacing the guttering here. So tomorrow I am going to visit my hairdresser, (she usually comes to me), first cut since Feb.,..!!
Nannytopsy, pleased you've got your hair trimmed, how short have you gone?

I have no idea how my last paragraph landed up at the end of my message, (instead of in the middle where I typed it)..??!!

gillgran - on the one hand I’m pleased my memory isn’t faulty and confused your news completely with georgesgran, but since she has also had a poorly DH., maybe I can be forgiven for the confusing messages. To you, this morning, lovely news that your DH is recovering well (that should give the gillybobs a boost) and that he and his special GD were able to have some fun in the sea! Have a lovely Sunday and maybe get back soon to your little home on the coast. X

Good morning from a sunny, but a windy and showery South Wales coast.

Newbie here, so going to have a look around the forum and drink my coffee

Morning Medievalist and welcome!
Gillgran it isn’t very short - layered chin length bob with a fringe but it’s in a straight line all the way round!! IYSWIM I hate feathery bits ?
