Good Morning Everyone ,
Its a dark, wet and windy start this morning with Storm Alex lurking about here in Brackley .
Today, my usual trip to Buckingham and Bicester , plans are to head back home, once I had a coffee and maybe a pork and stuffing bap , then a small shop ,and get bus back, then relax before I watch the Giro on Eurosport .
Take Care ,
Mick

AuntieFlo Fingers crossed the link up goes well and you will at least feel part of your GD’s wedding.? Wishing her and the groom a perfect day.

A late Good Morning from Morecambe Bay where it’s rather wet. Happy Birthday Beauregard. Have a lovely day.
Reading through the thread this morning, there really are a lot of people struggling in one way or another. More so than usual.? Take care everyone, stay safe and try not to worry too much.?

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

flowers for you all.

Take Care Folks

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. It’s very grey and unpleasant in South Yorkshire and we are in for a good old soaking today apparently, so walking and gardening are off the cards. I shall therefore let the day unfold and surprise me! Sending kind thoughts to all who have troubles, and Scentia I hope your DGS’s test is negative??. Happy Birthday Beauregard!??. Have the best day you can folks.

Urmstongran Sat 03-Oct-20 09:41:34

Sorry, re-reading that post I sounded snippy. I didn’t mean for it to come out so - honestly! The written word doesn’t always express nuances the same as chatting.

Good morning everyone from a dull day in Glasgow which is such a contrast to the sunny day we had yesterday. I have been keeping track of the harvest moon which was so bright last night it was like a spotlight shining into the kitchen.

Worrying news Scentia and Urmston ?
Happy Birthday Beauregard. ???
What a lovely thought, to be in your DG’s pink pocket Bellasnana. ? Where would we be without technology helping us to keep in touch?
Good decision not to drive anywhere in this weather Maw. A cosy day at home with your book and a blether with Hattie after such a rotten night. ?

I may have a look at the ironing mountain but then again I have just remembered, ironing is not allowed on Saturday.
Phew ?. All that remains then is to go with the flow which will include reading my latest book.

Hope everyone has a pleasant day and good wishes to our friends who are dealing with worrying times.

Urmstongran Sat 03-Oct-20 09:38:21

I put my message on the tail end of GM Friday as I didn’t want to hi-jack today’s thread Bellasnana and it seemed more appropriate as my earlier post of yesterday expressed my concern about waiting for their results.

Bellasnana Sat 03-Oct-20 09:31:09

Just popping back to wish Beauregard a very happy birthday.????

Missed your message yesterday, Urmston, you must be concerned but I hope all will be well.

cornergran, when DGD was a toddler I also saw the underneath of the sofa, inside the kitchen cupboard, and was often propped up in her doll’s high chair so I could watch a movie with her!

I think the funniest was when she took me into her little tent then went off somewhere and forgot about me. I heard her mum saying ‘What have you done with Nana?’ I called out, ‘I’m in here!’ and we really had a good laugh.?

Thank goodness for technology!

Morning to all you lovely people from a blustery (of course) south Cornwall. Happy birthday Beauregard. Have a lovely meal this evening. So many troubles for people at the moment. Sending my best to all of you struggling. As for me... flu jab at 11.12 (yep, that's not a typo!), then 4-year-old granddaughter for the rest of the day, a joy. Jaxjacky I get ocular migraines, ugh. Well, I'd better get on the move. Wish I could hug some of you who sound like you need it.

CherryCezzy Sat 03-Oct-20 09:24:17

Good morning everyone from the Gower. It's dry here... at the moment... but foreboding ?

Being that it is Saturday I think I'm going to spend the day in indulging in my non artistic artwork and chinwagging on the phone ?

kitty ! ?

? the fact that you are in your DGD's pink pocket Bellasnana ?

Scentia children pick up all manner of bugs and colds from others and bounce back quickly, it could easily be a minor germ that your DGS has, ? it's not the virus.

Urmstongran, wishes to your family for a speedy recovery ?

? Happy Birthday Beauregard. I hope you have a lovely day and your DH will be with you to enjoy your meal out. Enjoy your prosecco, it's always nice to have something free ?? ? ?

Stay safe everyone and be kind to yourselves ❤️

Good morning from a dark and wet Colchester. Think the light will be on all day. Will be pootling indoors this weekend.

Happy Birthday Beauregard and ((hugs)) to all.

cornergran Sat 03-Oct-20 09:16:39

Missed your post marydoll, not speedy with the keyboard this morning. Hope you’re much more comfortable soon, pain is no fun flowers.

cornergran Sat 03-Oct-20 09:15:00

Morning Mick, morning All. Wet and windy in our corner of Somerset. Sorry you’ve had a bed night maw, we’ve discovered one advantage to bungalow living is we hear the wind and rain less.

Mr C has a strapped up hand, instructions not to use it for two weeks. Now it doesn’t hurt is that likely? hmm. Quiet day for us today, just faffing.

Hope Urmston and Scentia get positive family news soon, a hug for you both and anyone else with worries. A very happy birthday beauregard, enjoy your special day. Hope those stairs are comfy kitty smile.

Your relationship with your granddaughter is to be treasured bellasnana, she sounds wonderful. Being in her pocket reminded me that our Littlest had a tendency to put us under the sofa - apparently so we could look for lost toys grin. He’s not a fan of FaceTime now, maybe there will be a return in the winter. Stay safe everyone, look after yourselves, special thoughts for those with heavy hearts.

Good morning everyone from a wet and grey north Kent. I am waiting to hear whether the football matches my grandsons are playing in are going ahead. I would be devastated if they are cancelled and I miss out on standing on a muddy field cheering them on in the rain!

Hope those with family worries and illnesses soon see improvements. Stay safe everyone

Grandmabatty Sat 03-Oct-20 09:06:17

Marydoll ? I'm sorry you are in pain.

Pantglas2 Sat 03-Oct-20 09:05:19

Morning all from a dry and blustery north Wales where I’m lolling abed with the second chamberpot ☕️ after too much ? last night....that’ll learn me ?

Sorry to read about the lurgy coming to our lovely Grans families, Scentia and Urms- ?all recoveries are speedy.

Birthday ? to Beauregard and hope you enjoy your meal out this evening, whoever you’re with!

I’m popping to see my dad this evening- first time since Father’s Day and he’s been out picking blackberries for me, to go with the apples from his tree! What a ⭐️!

Stay safe everyone x

Grandmabatty Sat 03-Oct-20 09:05:12

Good morning All. Happy birthday Beauregard Have a lovely day and enjoy your meal. Scentia I hope things go well with the wee one and all your family. It is such a worrying time. Your poor sofa! My last dog was the king of chewers when anxious and I lost an entire sofa as he'd got into the living room when I was out. Carnage! It's wet and gloomy in Polmont this morning and I don't think it has to improve any. I should do a food shop but can hang off til tomorrow. I'll see how I feel. Later dd, dgs and I are meeting up with my aunt and uncle at a restaurant for coffee. We can't go into each others houses, so outside it has to be. I'll get the bed changed, the bathroom cleaned and the dusting done at some point too. Have a good day all.

Marydoll Sat 03-Oct-20 09:03:51

Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow.

I'm late to the party today, I had a very disturbed night, my pain levels have shot up again and I still feel awful after my flu jag, so I'm going to indulge myself today, eat chocolate and do nothing!!?

Happy birthday, Beauregard, have a lovely day!??
Auntieflo, I hope you are sitting watching with your wedding hat on! ? If the wedding is anything like my daughter's garden wedding, she will have a fabulous day! ??

So many with worries here today, prayers and virtual hugs for all. ? Life is so difficult and sad for many just now.
Remember, the carers have to look after yourselves, too.

Have the best day you can!

Urmstongran Sat 03-Oct-20 09:03:05

Apologies, ‘all about me’.
Yes Scentia I do hope you and you’re family haven’t picked up Covid and that your grandson’s test is negative.
?

Seems a cough isn’t always an indicator. ‘Just’ feeling meh with a high temperature in our family’s cases.

Anniebach Sat 03-Oct-20 08:55:53

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Jaxjacky Sat 03-Oct-20 08:55:28

Good morning Mick and all, later up today and then I had an ocular migraine, disconcerting, but minor compared with everyone else’s current concerns.
It’s hoofing it down here, we have no plans today other than watching Leeds v Man City, first half probably in our local. OH is a Leeds supporter, so ?
Beauregard enjoy your a Birthday ?. Those struggling, I hope the next 24 hours brings improvements.

MawB2 Sat 03-Oct-20 08:54:49

Scentia wishing you well, too ???and good everyone else with worries flowers

Stilllearning Sat 03-Oct-20 08:48:37

Morning from dark and dull S Lanarkshire. House tidying plan today, just came on to wish Urmstongran’s family a speedy recovery. Very hard to be far away when children are ill, no matter how ‘grown up’ they are. Best wishes and hope you get better news soon.

Urmstongran Sat 03-Oct-20 08:44:19

Good morning everyone from Malaga where we do have sunshine although the palm trees are dancing right now! ?

I slept well again last night (no wine does make a great difference there). It was a shock to hear that our youngest daughter and her husband have tested positive for Covid. Brings it home to you how easy it is to catch it as they honestly have been super sensible and careful. No socialising at all with others, no holiday this year, nada.

I haven’t heard from them yet this morning which I’m thinking must be good news? We have a system when I’m in Spain. She gives me one bell from her phone and I then ring her back on their landline. It works well as that way I’m never interrupting meal times, bath time etc. Then we chat away for ages. We speak every day with the occasional FaceTime thrown in at weekends. That said, the grandchildren chat better on the phone than FT. They seem to tell me more somehow.

You made me smile with your comment about the screen going pink and being told you were in your granddaughter’s pocket Bellasnana. That was too cute!

I’m using Himself’s iPad. Mine has a black screen this morning. The battery is kaput. It will limit my addiction to GN I suppose!

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

Grammaretto Sat 03-Oct-20 08:43:13

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Wet here now too.
We had our ceiling (what's left of it) examined for rot. It is wet rot rather than dry which is better news.

The covid virus is still a big threat and we should not be travelling unecessarily.
I feel very sorry for the students who are far from home and feel like prisoners in small rooms.
Sorry to hear about Urmston's family and hope they get better soon.
I love that you are in DGD's pocket Bellasnana
I am so glad we can talk to all of ours on video.
Happy Birthday Beauregard enjoy your special day.
