Good Morning Wednesday

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s dry just now but we’ve got rain forecast for later.
Nothing much planned for today, I might pop into town as DD2 has asked me to pick a few things up - I think I’ve gradually become her personal shopper ?
Happy Birthday to your DGS GG13 hope he has a super day!
It sounds like a lovely evening for the boys nankate memories made to last forever!
Thinking of all our absent posters and those struggling with illness and worries, take care everyone whatever the day brings ?

Morning Mick and All.

Dull weather in South Bucks, however I did make the most of the beautiful weather we have had recently. Let’s hope it is just a few days of rain.

So pleased your Hattie is home Maw and nothing serious has been found.

DH returned yesterday afternoon after5 days helping DS with his garden so that DS could get on with his work. One evening DH, DS and both DHSs sat in the garden, the boys in their sleeping bags, watching the stars come out. They toasted marshmallows on a little fire and bounced (well just the boys) on the trampoline. Finally they told stories to each other’s delight. An evening to remember. ⭐️✨

Morning all, we had rain! Overnight it woke us both up and it’s a grey, damp start to the day. Tesco delivering sometime pm today, that’s about the only ‘event’ in this house. Husband unexpectedly not working, so I might not have to iron his pile of shirts, he’s shirt mad, far more interested in clothes shopping than me.
Have a calm day all, thoughts with those struggling.

Good morning all from a currently dry Derbyshire. Rain expected late morning.

Yesterdays walk was a gentle two miles around our local country park. Much less than our usual five/six miles, but enough (for me) on this occasion. The walk took us past the site of the old American Adventure Theme Park, which is long gone. It brought back memories of taking my children there 30 years ago. How they loved it. Work is currently being done to prepare it for a new housing development. Shame really - I'd hoped it would become an extension to the main park, but not to be.

I discovered a recipe on Pinch of Nom for a chicken and spaghetti bake which was delicious and well as diet friendly. I will be making that again.

Not much on today. A bit of housework I feel must be done at some point.

Hope today brings good news from other posters and we hear from EV, and that everyone is feeling well and has a good day.

Good morning Mick and all

We also have had rain in the night here in S E Essex first time for weeks.

Strange dreams last night and a very disturbed nights sleep. GS5 has just woken so no doubt he will want his treat very soon (he has a cooked breakfast when he stays here before school)

Off to the gym this morning, then hopefully see GS7 as he is one today. His birthday party is cancelled, but he will have a big celebration when it’s allowed.

Thinking of our absent posters ???

Take care and keep safe folks ?‍♀️

Good morning all from N Bucks ☔️☔️☔️☔️☔️
A grey morning but the calendar says it’s Autumn, so Autumn weather is to be expected.
Thank you to all those who sent kind messages about Hattie’s scans and tests. They showed no mass or tumour which was my greatest fear but we still have to decide where we go from here - “ monitor and wait and see” or referral to a “Supervet” type of establishment . Hope the vet can ring me today. In the meantime, Hattie looks very happy to be home as indeed I am to have her! But that poor tummy - woolly jumper needed I think (or helpful suggestion of a “ babygro”)
I know life is much harder for many of you and I wish you a peaceful and as pleasant a day as possible.

Good Morning from Oxfordshire.
Just looks a bit grey outside.
Beechnut autumn colours are beautiful aren't they..my favourite time of year I think.
EllanVannin I can only reiterate what everyone said yesterday
Not much going on in my world.
DD2 waiting for headache clinic appointment but thankfully hasn't had another really bad one.
Work now.
Hope everyone has as good a day as possible

Morning everyone, I'm lying in bed listening to heavy rain pattering on my south Cornwall patio, lovely sound, so comforting. Well, I have a gorgeous haircut - not saying I'm gorgeous, oh no just the cut! - how do these geniuses do it with just a pair of scissors! Today I continue to sort my kitchen a bit for the dishwasher coming. Absolutely no other plans. Painful restless night so mostly a day of rest.

Oddly enough, the six month restriction hasn't fazed me, because at least I know where we are for Christmas and two of my little ones birthdays. I hate the chopping and changing we've had, and my family can plan now. But I know for many people it's a horrible long haul. The spring will bring much better things I'm sure. Well done EV, that needed doing. The best of days to you all where possible.

Good morning from our sleepy little corner of France!

I hope everyone is as well as possible and that grandMattie's son will find his employer sympathetic should he choose to remain where he feels safe.

It’s a cloudy, cooler start to the day. We are surrounded by farmland so the last few days (and nights!) have been filled with the sound of tractors with harrowing attachments as farmers prepare to sow Winter crops, once the soil is moistened by the anticipated rain.

Take care, everyone!

Did you enjoy your trip to the Forest of Dean NannyJan? I like to go and have a drive through mid to late October to see the colours and I do another drive when the bluebells are out.

Good Morning everyone from a dark and wet Severnside.

When I come back later I hope to see you EllanVannin, you would be missed on the GM post.

I’ve something to finish off this morning and using the fact I have a parcel to open as my motivation then I will make a start on getting out my autumn decorations. I’ve seen a couple of things about putting pumpkins in the window for children to count instead of trick or treat. I have plenty of orange felt left over from making my daughter a pumpkin costume. She still likes dressing up as old as she is ?

Have the best day you can all. I think we need a bunch today as we start the six month plod ?

Good morning from a dark, DAMP E Kent. Can’t quite believe it, but we had a 10 minute shower about 2 hours ago. The gentle sound woke me up. Can’t remember the last time we had any precipitation!
Mick, all this cycling sounds like fan heaven... Enjoy!
So,Boris suggests that we’re in this for yet another six months. I wonder what that’ll do to people’s morale and mental health.
I spent most of yesterday converting 11kg of tomatoes into sauce for the winter. My hands stank of onion and tomato, but I’ve now got 22 little boxes of sauce for the freezer.
DS1 is very preoccupied by the request to return. He is a great egalitarian, believer in World government etc. He can’t decide whether to listen to his boss or side with his colleagues who are very unhappy about leaving Europe where they feel safe. It is mostly the journey which troubles everyone. We gave him our opinion, but in the end it is his decision.
Ellan, I can’t believe you were brave enough to out the “troll”. Curiously, she always made me feel uneasy.
Marydoll, I trust you are feeling better and that your injections are helping, despite the horrible side effects.
I hope the sad, the sick and those in pain have a good day. Stay safe everyone.
