Good Morning Saturday

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire. It is dark, wet and cold out there.
We had a lovely week at Butlins with DGS but DGS has come home with symptoms of Covid and we took him for steady last night. We now have to stay indoors until the results come. DD and I were a little overwhelmed at the experience in the testing centre and both said WW felt rather irresponsible going on holiday and wished we hadn’t gone. There was little SD there and now we have the worry that DGS has picked something up and potentially spread it around inadvertently. Hopefully he is negative and we don’t have to report it to the holiday camp and worry thousands of other people. I am hoping he wakes up this morning and his temperature has gone down as I can’t hear him coughing this morning.
I also arrived home to a massive hike in my sofa that my dog decided to eat, she had never done anything like that before and I can only think she was missing me so much she decided to ruin my favourite bit of furniture.
A very quiet weekend for us.

Good morning, Mick and all who follow. It is going to be the hottest October day on record here in Malta, if the forecast is to be believed. Up to 36°C with a strong, hot, humid wind from the Sahara. ?

I might just watch the Giro d’Italia myself as it is in Sicily today and I know the island so well it will be interesting to see where the race goes.

Another long chat with DGD in Florida yesterday. I even ‘sat in’ on one of her classes and could hear her teacher who sounded lovely. At one point, DGD went downstairs to get herself a drink and the screen went pink. I asked what happened, ‘You’re in my pocket, Nana’, came the reply!?

Scentia, sorry to hear about your DGS and hope he will be okay. What a pity when you had enjoyed your break.

Have a good day dear friends and special thoughts for those who are in difficulties.☀️

Good Morning everyone. It’s a damp dark start on Severnside.

Oh dear Scentia I hope you’ll all be ok and glad you enjoyed your holiday.

My daughter is hoping to come over today to clean up the stuff she is storing with me until she can sell it. I’ll try and remember to ask her to help me get the Christmas decks down from the loft. I know it is early but who knows what will happen lockdown wise and I’m finding operating the pull down ladder heavy work these days.

Look after yourselves all and take care ?

I thought that pocket bit was lovely Bellasnana ?

Good morning Mick, Scentia and Bellasnana.
It’s breezy and damp in Suffolk this morning but it should improve later. We have fetch the cat from the cattery this morning and I have my flu jab at lunchtime then it’s a click and collect. All go here!
I hope you enjoy the cycling * Mick & Bellasnana* and I do hope you DGS is negative Scentia.
Be kind to yourselves everyone

Morning Beechnut!

Good morning, it is still dark here in Leicestershire.
I am up early as I didn’t sleep to well.

I do hope your DGS tests negative Scentia.
I would love to have my granddaughter in my pocket Bellasnana!

Flu jabs today and maybe having a visit from a friends dog,

Morning Mick and All.

It’s grey, wet and miserable here in South Bucks.

DS and DGSs are coming for the weekend, pity the weather isn’t better, they usually love playing on the field in front of the house. We’ve set up some games, a colouring competition with a small financial prize and after a belated Birthday Tea we are having indoor fireworks. We used to have them each X**s for our DS so it will be happy memories, having said that they are pretty pathetic but they will make us all laugh.

So glad Bella you can give your DGD such comfort with your regular chats.

Hugs and ?to all who feel wobbly.

Good morning from Derbyshire. A miserable day in store for most.

Today's my birthday, so I haven't got the bright sunny day I'd hoped for I don't have a great deal planned during the day and will be at home in case anyone decides to call in. This evening we've booked to go out to dinner at a local restaurant. I joined their mailing list and have been sent an email giving me a free dessert and a bottle of prosecco! so well worth going.

Mr B still feeling pain (hernia) so there's a good chance he'll decide not to go for the meal, but my DD is on standby to take his place so I won't miss out.

Thinking of all with worries and/or illness, especially Sark Urmstongran grandMattie dragonfly Jan16 and Scentia

Hope everyone has a good day

Good morning from a very wet bit of North Leicestershire.

I have an opticians appointment at 9 am - it seemed like a good idea at the time I made the appointment!

Another afternoon sitting on the stairs as that is my favourite vantage point for checking out potential new neighbours as they view the house next door.

Dh had a letter yesterday following his latest poo sticks test saying he needed further investigation. Heyho!!

scentia, I hope your DGS is ok and that the dog survives having eaten the sofa.

I'd also love to be in a pink pocket bella.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Happy Birthday Beauregard wishing you a lovely day ????

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s still dark but lots of rain forecast for later. Yesterday was a lovely autumn day though and we enjoyed a longish walk along the beach at nearby Nairn and then stopped for a coffee and little treat at a farm shop on the way home - like always!
Enjoy your hot sunny day bellasnanna I’m just a wee bit envious .... and you being popped into your DGD pocket did make me smile!
Sorry to hear about your DGS scentia I hope he’s ok and everyone else is too. And the sofa- aghhhhh !
I hope everyone with worries and struggles is doing ok and the day is kind to everyone - take care all

Happy Birthday Beauregard

Good morning, one and all, from our chilly part of France - only six degrees!

Yesterday, we had warm enough sunshine mid afternoon to sit outside. We completed our shopping, including my supplies to take home tomorrow evening.

It is sad to read of families possibly suffering from Covid- 19 , especially when it involves children. Thoughts with Scentia.

Happy weekend!

A very Happy Birthday beauregard enjoy your special day! ????

Good morning from a very wet, dark N Hants. I hope that you get good news Scentia, but what a worry for you all.

I’m thinking of Urmstongran who will be so worried about her family after the late posting yesterday. I have everything crossed that they start to feel better soon. I’m sending a good luck rainbow for you xx

Good morning Mick and all from a cloudy S Welsh coast. So sorry to hear about your grandson Scentia and your family Urmston, they are young and will recover well I'm sure. Try not to worry, easier said than done I know.
Early start here, second puppy class at 9, then Mr L and I have our flu vaccines this afternoon, with a fruit and veg delivery in between. Will read the posts later. Thinking of all those with illness and worries.
Take care everyone.

I missed Urmston's post last night. I do hope everyone recovers well.

Many happy returns beauregard.

Good morning from a grey but dry E Kent.
I’ve only just woken up after the best night in months if not years! Perhaps it’s a result of doing “nothing” yesterday, apart from 5 loads of washing, several meals etc.
I’m so sorry you had to cut your holiday short Scentia, if ever there was time we all needed time off... trust that the result is negative.
Doing nothing again today. Any ideas for dinner tonight?
Have the best day everyone, especially those feeling unwell, disconnected or unhappy. X

Good Morning everyone.
Wet and windy in Oxfordshire..definitely a stay at home sort of day but I must do a food shop.
Just want to thank everyone for all your messages ..I am very grateful and the support on here really helps....I felt the group hug yesterday!
GrandmaFrench Thank you for your kind and wise words as always.
Scentia hope the test is negative and little one feels better soon, and such a shame about your sofa.
Happy birthday Beauregard hope you have a lovely day despite the weather, and enjoy your evening out
Bellasnana you being in the pocket made me laugh!
Nankate Hope you have a lovely time with your boys
Sending hugs to all on this special thread

Oh, happy birthday Beauregard. It was DGD2’s 8th yesterday and we had a lovely Zoom with her and our sons. She’s having a little party today having banished her father and sister, and going to the circus this afternoon l

Oh no Urmstongran I have just seen your post last night.
Thinking of you all and wishing them a speedy recovery.

Good morning from a dark and drizzly Black Country, where it rained non stop yesterday.

No real plans for today, except for maybe packing away summer clothes and getting out the jumpers!

Sorry to hear of your DGS Scentia I hope he will be ok and it turns out to be just a cold.

Thinking too of Urmston as I know she is worrying about her family, I am hoping they will start to feel better soon.

Happy Birthday Beauregard enoy your meal out

Enjoy your extended birthday celebrations with your boys NanKate

Wishing you all a good day, and keeping gilly in my thoughts

Good morning from a very wet Norfolk. Thank you to everyone who sent get well wishes to my husband yesterday. He is still in hospital and apparently still passing blood. Had a bladder scan yesterday which was clear. So it’s just a waiting game as usual! Thank goodness phones are now allowed in hospital wards. At least we can send messages to each other! Can visit for an hour a day at our hospital now but you have to make an appointment so will see what happens. Hope everyone has a good day albeit very wet I think!
