Good Morning Tuesday

About to get DH bathed, shaved, dressed etc because today is his second cataract op. Hope it goes as well as the first and that we can soon get him new reading glasses and he can abandon the magnifying glass which he has been using.

Beautiful morning, just as it was 58 years ago when we were married. Don’t think I could have imagined then what life would have in store but wouldn’t have it otherwise.

Good morning all from a typically autumnal day in Glasgow, I love weather like this.
This my second attempt at posting, the early morning novella disappeared somewhere into the ether. ?

MOB I hope you have a great trip. Milingave is one of my friends and I's favourite charity shop haunts. As my expert charity shop afficianado friend would say, You always get a good class of merchandise in Milingave.
Perfect walking weather for you.

Grandmattie, glad you had a successful lunch with your son yesterday and that he is improving.
Gilly good to hear you having some fun for a change.

At last I managed my injection without any mishaps. It has only taken me six weeks to perfect the technique. .
I think the fear of Matron Kalu coming down to administer it was the incentive I needed. I hear she is very strict. .
However, I did feel grim later on and fell asleep in the conservatory for hours.
I had planned to make traditional steak pie for dinner, but dinner didn't materialise until much later than planned.

For the first time since I started shielding, I plan to go to the supermarket on my own. My car needs a run to boost the battery, so I shall not go to my nearest supermarket, but to Sainsbury's. I have an ulterior motive, which I'm sure Kalu will suss out!
We need bread and I am going to make a surprise batch of tablet for my friend's son's wedding on Saturday and relalised, I will need afair amount of sugar.

We would normally have gone to the wedding, but due to Covid restrictions, it's going to be close family only in a picturesque hotel in the Highlands, at the foot of the mountain where the couple got engaged. It's all very romantic. ?

My friend is very nervous, as she works in a community nursery with challenging and disadvantaged children, where social distancing is impossible and is terrified she catches Covid before the wedding, despite there being no cases in our area.
Many of the wee ones have coughs and colds and some have been tested already, but all thankfully negative.
My thoughts are to make her a pamper pack to take with her for the night before the wedding: bath bombs, face mask etc, so I need to think about what to put in it.

mancgirl, my grandaughter is so petite, just like her old gran that it was impossible to find a blazer small enough.
My DIL had to get an age 3 to 4 altered to fit.

Sending hugs to all our absent friend and all who are struggling. ? Hoping Cherry had a good night.
Safe journey MOB.

Hope your appointment goes well Cherry????

Good morning Mick and everyone. Quite a pleasant morning in the Gower, odd clouds making it very interesting.

Please to hear that your DS2 is looking so well grandMattie ☺️

Sounds like you and Evie Buttons had a wonderful day yesterday gillybob ?. Take the tag off that coat ! Go on, one tiny snip ..

Appointment at the breast clinic for me this morning. My first follow up scan since my op' in August last year.
I'm not exactly looking forward to it because I've got breast pain going on but hay ho.

A visit to the supermarket after that, a relatively novel experience for me having been shielding so long.

Hope everyone has a good first day of Autumn. Still thinking of our absent posters ??? for you all.

Stay safe and be kind to yourselves everyone ❤️

Good morning from Shropshire where once again it’s a bright start.

A day of catching up with admin and a trip to the supermarket.Living the life??

Have been feeling anxious and not sure why but think it’s because DD2 and SIL will be back in the classroom today.DD training and SIL teaching.DGD starts school on Friday.Lots of safety measures in place but still a worry.

It must have been lovely for the ICU nurse to see your DH out and about and looking so much better gilly.

Have a good day all and thinking of all our missing goodmorningers.Hope you are all starting to feel better and will be back with us soon?

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. The sun is in and out in South Yorkshire and it is cold. September. Where has this year gone, and what a year it’s been so far. It was lovely yesterday so we tidied up the garden, and had a walk out and picked elderberries so now I have enough to make a decent lot of cordial. That’s a rainy day job. Lawn cutting for DH today, and ironing for me, then cutting some cloth for my rug.
Momb enjoy your walk on the West Highland Way. Let us know how it’s going! Have the best day you can, folks

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. The birds are singing and there's a patch of blue in the sky.
What a joyful day you describe Gillybob I'm sure all of the GM team are celebrating with you and that ICU nurse.

We're waiting to hear the result of DGD covid test. We think and hope it's a cold but there have been many new cases in Scotland.

Yoga this morning to put me in the right mood for the day week

September is a nice month. One of my favourites.

Urmston we usually spend all September and most of October in Spain. As you say, a lovely time of year. The churinguitos on our beaches are closing this week, which is early, due to lack of visitors - us?

Good morning from sunny Colchester. The weather is warming up here a little for the start of September.
Washing is out and we will be painting the decking and taking old fences to the dump. We spent yesterday installing new ones with the help of neighbours and DS. Think it will be the last time we do it ourselves!

Good morning All. It's a bit cloudy here in Polmont although it was lovely earlier. I'm babysitting today so I'll have to stir my stumps and get moving. I'm not feeling too great today but I'm sure I'll perk up when the human dynamo is here! Have a lovely day all.

Good morning Mick and the GM team, it’s currently sunny in east London but chilly, I think.

Hope MD’s injection went ok.
I sympathise with the challenges of self injection. After a major op a few years ago, I had to inject myself in the leg every morning for two weeks. I bruise easily, so by the end of the fortnight my legs were covered in bruises of varying colours and looked like a map of Italy.

Farview let’s hope ‘white rabbit’ ? brings us all some good luck for this new month.
We have family members (both teachers and pupils) going back to school today, so hoping that goes well.

I currently have three cats squabbling over each other’s breakfast ... We took in a young, stray cat last year and he has disrupted the lives of our two well established female cats. They tolerate him but sometimes feel the need to put him firmly in his place. He is a big, strong, chunky male but he accepts admonishment from our small, elderly, 16 year old Missy. She often gives him a good whack on the nose or the bum and he just accepts it.

Good wishes to Dragonfly, Bluesapphire and everyone facing challenges today. Have a good day all, especially those with family members starting back at school. ?

Good morning from the NE coast where we have a bright start to Tuesday and the first day of NovemberSeptember (it’s cold enough to mix them up).

I was at “that place” for a few hours with DGS yesterday then picked Evie Buttons up on the way home. We had a late lunch then DGS went for some more football training .

It was quite bright but VERY cold so we got all wrapped up (I nearly took the tags off the jacket...but didn’t) and me and DH pushed her along the sea front in her little trike . It was really busy with it being a BH and we ended up in the fairground. I would love to know what was going through her imagination as she was chatting away to herself when she was going round on the little rides. Her beaming smile was enough to bring tears of joy to DH’s eyes.

It was so strange but we were standing watching Evie going round on a little ride when I spotted one of the nurses who looked after DH in ICU last year. She came straight over and was amazed to see him out and about and looking so much better . Of course he didn’t recognise her at all being that he was in a coma for most of the time she looked after him . She was one of the very best nurses ever .

Took her home ready for mummy coming in from work and Evie was all excited trying to tell her about her trip to the fairground. She’s 2 and 4 months now and her talking is coming on really well .

I have DGS all this week again as he doesn’t go back to school for another 2 weeks yet, making it almost 6 months without any formal education. I only hope he has a permanent teacher this year.

Thinking of all our missing friends including dragonfly , BlueSapphire and Bellasnana as well as those feeling poorly or under the weather .

Have as good a Tuesday as possible everyone . Love Gillybob xx

Good morning from a beautiful Suffolk coast. The sun is shining and the sea is calm. Heading back to Essex today and I will miss this view.

Just had a chat to my neighbour , both in our pj’s with a cuppa in our hands. She will miss us, but we’ll be back at the end of the month.

I love September. My favourite month too, Urmstongran . Let’s hope it’s a good one, weatherwise. It often is. ?

grannygravy I’ve spent many an hour at Aventure Playground in Southend with my Dc and later on with the GC. They love it!

Enjoy your lovely walk in the Highlands mumofmadboys. It sounds glorious.

Have a lovely day all, no matter what you do. ?

Good morning all from S Hants, sun’s up, but chilly, off to vape shop later, then taking card and presents over for GD, 13 today.
DH already gone to work, really must put new glasses on, it’s funny how I’ve become attached to my old ones, daft!

Have as good a day as you can all.

Good morning everyone from a cloudy Essex by the sea.
Housework and washing today, I know how to live !!! I will send DH to the supermarket to get a few things and he has 3 puzzles to take to a friend. His friend and I share puzzles when we have finished with them.
Hopefully go out for a walk later.
Have a lovely Tuesday and stay safe xx

Good morning everyone from a dry and quite sunny Inverness. Yesterday turned out to be a lovely day so hoping for the same again today.
Last night we were lucky enough to get a booking at the local pub restaurant so we went out with DD2, SiL and the two DGC for our last Rishi meal - it was delicious and we got a whopping £60 discount off the bill ? DGC we’re both very well behaved too so that made it even more enjoyable!
Best of luck to all the children and teenagers going back to school this week - hope everyone settles back in well. Awww mancgirl your little DGS in age 2/3 trousers starting school - hope he has a lovely first day
Happy hiking mumofmadboys have a great time!
Hope everyone has a good day today and take care whatever the day brings ?

Sun’s up here! ?
Good morning everyone from Malaga where it’s the start of another gorgeous day ?

I ❤️ September in Spain - it’s my favourite month of the year weather-wise.

I heard last night from one of the locals that hotels here are closing next week. Not enough business to cover their overheads now the Spanish have had their August vacations. Such a worry financially for so many people.

Today it’s my ladies ‘who wine’ day. Yay!

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

Morning Mick and All.

A sunny morning in South Bucks.

Popping round to my friend’s house to give her a lesson in using Netflix this morning. Then on Zoom this afternoon with my WI to have a quiz.

Well done Kitty and NannyJ for tackling the ironing. To be honest I only iron about once every 6 weeks. ?

Posted too soon! I was about to wish everyone the best of days possible. Enjoy the last few days of the holiday with the GC.

Good morning Mick and all his followers. A pinch and a punch for the first of the month!

It’s sunny in Suffolk at the moment with not a cloud in sight. I have three teenagers coming to shift a ton of gravel from front garden to back. There is a flight of steps involved too. I had hoped to have the path weeded and membrane put down but they are a couple of days too early. Never mind, I have a cunning plan ...

Good Morning everyone from Severnside. It’s dry, and looks like it will be a reasonable day.

The MOT on the car is due soon so I plan to clean it today. While I have the hosepipe out I’m going to swish it over the windows. I don’t plan to clean them properly until the building work finishes at neighbours house.

Hope you all have a good day ?and for gilly ✂️

Good morning Mick and all

The sky is blue here in S E Essex which is a good thing as I am off to Adventure Island on Southend sea front this afternoon with DD and the GC it’s the five year olds pre school treat. I had totally forgotten till he reminded me yesterday evening. I shall be on looking after baby brother duty whilst DD takes him on the rides!!!

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️

Good Morning from a bright Black Country.

I was up early to do a Covid test. I was chosen at random to do this. The Courier will collect any time today between 8am and 6pm, so I had to do it early. It wasn't too bad, just a tad uncomfortable.

So I have no plans today as may have to wait in all day, hopefully it will be collected this morning.

My two DGD's go back to school tomorrow, the eldest to year 8 (she only managed half of year 6!) and the youngest (9) starts middle school, and will have to travel there by coach as they live in a village. So she feels very grown up. DD (their Mum) is a Teacher and starts back today. She is not really looking forward to it.

My other two DGD's aged 16 and 11 start back on Friday. The eldest to the 6th form and youngest starts Secondary school.

Oh well, if I am to wait in I suppose I should tackle the ironing today.

Wishing you all a good day and special thoughts to all those with worries and struggling

Morning all from a slightly grey and quite cold North Leicestershire.

I have ironing to do and some admin type things this morning and Dh is doing his first couple of volunteer drives since lockdown began.

Paprika chicken to make for supper and the freezer.

Stay safe and have a good day everyone.

Good morning all! We are off to Glasgow today and then Milgarvie as we start walking the West Highland Way tomorrow. We are doing it with some good friends. Looking forward to it.Have a good day all and thinking of those with health worries.
