Morning Mick, morning All from a soggy corner of Somerset. Wow, those pots will brighten your garden marydoll, please stay warm and dry today. One of ours made it with his daughters for a roast yesterday, a short but so welcome visit. The food vanished, well, other than the piece of broccoli I hid on his plate in the hope he wouldn’t notice grin. It’s sorting the car insurance day here today. Can’t wait hmm. Is it just me or does the process really get more tedious every year? Oh well, it will be done for another year. Look after yourselves everyone.

Good morning all from a drippy North Leicestershire.

Not much rain forecast for today which is good as out gardener is coming for another morning to do the hedges. This is an achievement in my opinion as it means DH will not be wobbling around at the top of a ladder whilst in possession of a lethal weapon.

We had a lovely day with Dd2 and 2dgd yesterday. Very poignant though as we would usually have some of the others calling in too.

Sending love and good wishes to everyone.

Scentia, I haven't had a response from Gilly, and knowing things weren't so good, I'm very worried.☹️

Good morning from a dry, clear Derbyshire.

I'm a bit earlier today as I'm about to go away for a few days.

Mr B has decided not to go as he's still getting some pain when he moves around and is awaiting a call from his doctor today. He's not too bad but doesn't want to move far or be away from home at the moment and says he wouldn't enjoy it if he couldn't walk around as much as normal. He doesn't want me to miss out so we've agreed that I should still go.

Hope everyone is feeling well today and the day is a good one.

Good morning Mick and all who follow, from a foggy Glasgow.
I'm feeling pretty rotten after yet another disturbed night.
This flu jab has had such bad side effects, but not having it has even worse consequences. Everything seems to have flared up.☹️
# Feeling sorry for myself! ?

I don't have much to report, I didn't do much yesterday.
However, some of you will have read on another of the bargain my friend/ neighbour picked up for me at the early morning car boot sale.
I was still in bed, when she phoned me from her car, asking me to come outside in five minutes, as she had managed to get garden pots for me.
She had to park out of sight, as we have the nosiest neighbour in the world, who sits at the window, permanently glued to his seat.
I hadn't realised it was pouring and I went out in my pjs to help her. DH came out too to help. After sneaking them round the back, without my neighbour seeing them, ( nosy neighbour would want to know where we got them and the cost) , DH left me to chat. I came back to find DH had locked the door and was doing his Dolinguo with his head phones on.
No amount of banging the backdoor or ringing of the front door bell, was acknowledged! I was furious!!!? He hadn't even noticed I was missing! That's the part which annoyed me the most. # Neglected and unloved wife!?
I did indeed get a bargain. They were ex display, hence the reason they were so cheap. My son's fiancée said she needed her sunglasses to look at them. She is just jealous!!??

For all those struggling take care and for those who are worried about family and partners, ? Have the best day you can.

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire. Dark and cold this morning, I will go out to take the dog out in a while so hope it’s not raining or too cold.
Work today, we are not overly busy at the factory so I will do some cleaning and repair jobs there today.
Now DGS and DD have gone home as the test was negative I know that this cold I have woken with is kindly shared by my little GS. We are always telling him to share nicely.
I remember, starting this time last year, DH and I were getting one cold after another, hope it won’t be like that this year. I have just eaten some of my home made Granola. It is so much better that what you buy, no sugar and so tasty.
I wonder if Gilly is ok, have you had a message at all Mary
I watched a film on Netflix yesterday called A Social Dilemma it was rather disturbing seeing how much the social media companies control what we do?
Well folks, must get on, take care of yourselves today.

Good Morning Mick and all who follow. A very dark morning here on Severnside.

Bed changing, washing and soup making for me today. My brother will probably come by on his way home from work. He’s a lovely man and I like spending time with him. Ooh that’s made my eyes leak.

Lots of worries around at the moment so take care and stay safe all ?

Good morning from darkish, dry E Kent.
Seem to have woken up later than expected. Another one of those nights where I nap through most of it and then have a good hour or so at the end.
Zoom meeting with 5 of DH’s school friends. We were due to meet in Edinburgh today for a few days but... Had it not happened I would have gone to the W.I. college for a course. Naturally, Denman has closed forever and CV19 has seen to the end of everything.
Housework, etc today. Did my Spanish homework on Friday.
Need to make an appointment to have my eyes tested.
Hope the ones with wobbles, sorrow and pain have an ok day. Stay safe.
