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

Good morning Mick and all

Grey and wet here in S E Essex.

Another bad nights sleep, why do things worry us so much in the middle of the night that we wouldn’t give a moments thought to
In the day ?

Thinking of my dear virtual friend Urmstomgran it is a worry when our family members are poorly, but Covid and being so far away is so sad for you all ??

Happy Birthday to our beauregard and EllanVannin ??????

Sending (((hugs))) to all poorly and sad friends.

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️

Good morning from Durham.
Absolutely lashing down today which makes our lockdown even more restrictive - don’t fancy going for a walk and coming back like a drowned rat!

Best wishes to those of us with worries, illness or responsibilities caring for others and Good wishes for those trying to celebrate a special occasion. Special thoughts for us locked down/in/up ?too.

A thread yesterday after Sober October - not a cat in hell’s chance!! I’m with MawB and on a bender ‘til Crimbo(?)but I will send a cheque off to MacMillan. X

It's a just good morning from a wet miserable w/York's
I have for the second time for a ulcer at the back of my mouth using plenty of mouthwash it's nothing compared to what some of you are going through sending ?to all stay safe .

Coffee break and more time to catch up! A very happy 80th birthday Ellanvannin, and happy birthday also to Beauregard.
So nice that you can least join in with your GD,S wedding AuntieFlo, it must be really hard not to be with your family but this would all be a lot worse without technology wouldn’t it?
I love the mental images conjured up by Bellasnana and cornergran of grandchildren putting them in a pocket or under a couch to look for something!
Hope your pain eases as the day goes on Marydoll, bad enough to have sleepless nights. As ever good wishes to everyone especially those with worries.

I would be on the bender with you Georgesgran and Maw if only I didn’t need to stop whileI wait for my op and be on strong painkillers afterwards.
When looking after my H and after he died, I relied on a drink most nights to help me cope.
Don’t call that a weakness until you have been through it all as we have.

Now , Good morning to you all, it is wet and dark here in Stockport and I was woken at 4am by a cat fight on the landing.
We have a visiting, very bold cat who uses me as a larder.
I must get a new cat flap, one on which the lock works.

Molly saw it off and stayed out for a while but was snuggled up to me at 7:30.

Have the best day you can everyone.

80 is a very good number Ellan

EllenVannin and Beauregard - a Happy Birthday to you both
Unless you are very lucky, you may not see much ?? today but I hope it will shine in your hearts flowers

EllanVannin Sat 03-Oct-20 12:24:48

Oh ladies, I nipped back here in between calls and saw all this. Thankyou so much xx.

Made a couple of attempts to go to the shop but the phone's been going, so I thought I'd just have 5 minutes with a coffee and make another dart for it before the phone rings again----not that I mind at all.

be celebrating my 80th but it's on hold until next year
Ellan Welcome to the OBE Club! Happy Birthday!
; but you can't do that, as much as you'd like to hang on to 80.
You'll be 81 next year, so face up to reality and give your friendly seagulls a few extra chips from me, even if they are Scousers! grin

Cheers and Good Health wine

Happy birthday Ellanvanin and Hello everybody. It's dreich here in Glasgow but it was lovely and sunny yesterday while my friend in Hampshire was telling me about her storms. I'm not gloating, it's just that it doesn't often happen that way round.

annsixty Sat 03-Oct-20 13:39:26

EllanVannin Sat 03-Oct-20 13:41:20

Again, thankyou ladies---and Rufus, very kind of you all. xx

Not a seagull around today in this rain Rufus, and what's more I'd like to remind you that my age stops at this nowgrin

It's beginning to look like Kew gardens now so I'm hoping I've got enough vases, more than likely amongst the clutter crockery cupboard.
