Good Morning Tuesday

Morning all,
Lightening up nicely now, but a definite chill about. Dry for the moment but rained in the night.

We had a power surge in our little street yesterday, resulting in no power for 4 hours whilst a temporary fix was done. They are coming back today to fix it properly. The result in our house is no heating or hot water (affected the boiler), no hot shower (affected the pump), extractor fan not working in kitchen, radio alarm clock damaged and a few other things, too. They assure us in a letter that equipment will be repaired. I flipping hope so, or it's a lot of expense for us to put it right, not to mention inconvenience.

Lovely cyclamens, Jaxjacky.

Hope all our missing GM's have a better day today. ?

Good morning all from Plymouth. A mixed bag of weather in store today.

An uneventful journey travelling down from Derbyshire yesterday. Half empty coach, all well distanced. I had a walk around the harbour after checking in. Today we have a free morning - shopping grin. Then it's off to Looe this afternoon.

Hope everyone is feeling well and today is good for us all.

Good morning Mick and all

We have had rain overnight and I think more is to come!!

We have two GSs today and school run (hardly a run as the primary school is next door but one?) and the 5yr old stays for a sleepover and baby goes home. If the numbers of new Covid cases keeps escalating I wonder how long we will be able to do this.

Haven’t seen Sar53 post for a few days ?

Thinking of all our missing friends (((hugs)))

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️

Good morning, still dark in Leicestershire although I believe this is our one dry day of the week.

Nothing planned so will take DH for a walk.
DD started her new job as scrum master yesterday - where do they get these terms?

Thinking of Gilly as always and hoping Urmston’s family are feeling better.
Hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning Mick and all from a damp S Hants although it’s not raining. No real plans today, might split these cyclamen into two pots, have a peaceful day all.

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire. Looks cloudy and cold out there today, I will take the pooch out shortly.
DH and I are both full of cold and have bad throats, DH hasn’t eaten all day yesterday because of his throat, me on the other hand managed three meals, a bag of skips and a tub of ice cream!!! I don’t know why I suffer with my weight?
We were both in bed by 8pm last night and I still overslept this morning.
Today we are going in to the factory to finish a few bits and bobs then we will come home.
I booked a swim session for me DD and DGS for tomorrow but not sure if I will go now, as I don’t want to spread my cold everywhere. DD can take DGS as they are both better now.
Take care folks and try and raise a smile at least once today????

Good Morning everyone from Severnside. Damp outside but there is the apricot streak to the east where the sun is rising.

A very lucky escape for your tai chi lady * grandMattie*.

I’ve not left the house for nearly a week so I’m thinking I might go out today or tomorrow. See what I feel like doing once I get up.

My sister in-law sent me a lovely video of her grandson yesterday. He’s a lively one.

Hope there aren’t too many worries to deal with today ?

Good Morning Mick & GrandMattie and all to follow.

Early start, tea finished, now off to shower and dress before Hairdressers for both of us. Sky already dark blue before sun up.

Have a safe day and make it count, whatever you do.
Hugs from South of ???

Good morning from a dark E Kent. Probably dry today. It would be too much to expect some sunshine.
We had a hilarious virtual meeting with DH’s old school friends. We meet about every 18 months somewhere and this year it was to be Edinburgh this week. Most of the hour was spent trying to figure out how Zoom worked. I was the only one who had actually Zoomed, but not only being a woman, we have been married the shortest time so have no seniority! It’s odd how chauvinist they become when together...
Tai chi today. I’m leading as our regular lady had a spectacular car crash, totalled her car and walked out of it, traumatised but unhurt. She’s taking delivery of another car today. The lady who knows everything won’t lead but is very free with suggestions. She makes very annoyed indeed...
Stay safe today , especially those with sorrow, pain or distress.

Good Morning Everyone,
Its another dark start , signs of maybe a small frost with wetness on paving here in Brackley .
Housework priority this morning , prior to getting the bus and doing my usual Buckingham and Bicester , have a coffee and a bite to eat then small shop, before returning home to watch the Giro on TV .
Take Care ,
Mick
