Good Morning Thursday

Pant S S S ??. MissC I read the “great daNe” Judy... wondered what you were on about ?

Good morning everyone.
Mick I have just dropped in to ask if your bus journey is absolutely necessary.
Here in the central belt of Scotland we have been asked not to use public transport because of the risks of virus spread.
We used to enjoy taking the bus far and wide using our free pass to the whole of Scotland but sadly not this year.
Stay safe.

It’s raining here in Yorkshire thank goodness. This means that my builder will abandon the roof that he is replacing and come and do some work on my building site of a kitchen. Hopefully my gas hob will be connected up this morning as well. It’s been weeks since I have been able to boil a spud. I’ve managed to sell my old under counter freezer and this will be collected today. It’s been lurking in my sitting room since the start of this process. I will kind of miss it’s presence next to the TV when it’s gone.
Then great excitement as I head off for a haircut. I sort of model myself on the great Dame Judi Dench but it takes a lot of upkeep. So a busy but rather bitty sort of day and no long hike on the moors which is the one thing that keeps me sane.

Morning Mick, morning All. Dark, gloomy and damp start to our corner of Somerset, apparently some sun later. Medical focus for me today. Physio this morning to keep the neck moving then three x-rays this afternoon. Seems greedy! Bit concerned about as yet unknown hospital processes but I’m sure all will be well when I get there.

Other than that somehow we have yet more ironing, no idea how that happened. Mr C is excused ironing duties this week while his thumb recovers. Next week will be different . What news of the family urms? Hope improving.

Looking forward to today’s attempt at keeping positive, curry and a glass of wine to look forward to this evening. Take care everyone. Thinking of those not posting for whatever reason.

Morning GrandMattie and yes we ended quarantine last Friday just after our FM put the county in lockdown ?

By the way, you missed the ‘s’ off the word libation.....?

Hope all goes well for your son (although you’ll miss him) x

Good morning to you all!

A wet and windy night here in Torbay after a sunny day for most of yesterday so I hope Beauregard enjoyed her day spent locally. Yesterday afternoon, I enjoyed a Zoom meeting with my local theatre group's social club, imaginatively named The Wednesday Club! DH joined us from France, until his internet connection failed. The joys of rural life!

Hibernating in quarantine isn’t so bad on a day like this!
Stay safe and well, everyone!

Good Morning everyone from a dark and very wet Severnside.

I had a lovely FaceTime with my sister in law last night chatting about food, recipes and general stuff. They were coming to stay in the New Year but it now looks unlikely that will happen. I remarked about how we used to write years ago when they first went away and how nice it was to be able to do what we were now doing. I was able to show her some gins I had bought and she showed me the trees outside changing colour.

I’m intending to go and do some shopping today.

It’s gloomy all round so stay safe all ☔️

Pant, are you out of quarantine now, then? Enjoy your libation...

Good morning from windy E Kent. It’s still dark so don’t really know if the sky is clearing.

Was woken up around 0430 by the side gate banging in the wind. Someone must have gone out the front and not closed it. I say “closed it”, it doesn’t actually close but requires a complicated system of boards and planks to keep it shut. An invention of DH’s.

I made a delicious French onion soup yesterday which we’ll have for lunch today. No ideas of dinner.

Spanish class on Zoom. We Often have listening tests from the AS level exams . Normally The sound isn’t brilliant in class but it’s very hard to hear properly over the airwaves. Still, mustn’t complain, at least we still have classes.

DS1 is preparing to leave on Saturday next week but is very anxious about a CV19 test he has to take 96 hours before flying, get certificated and sent to the Indian authorities before being allowed to enter the country. All very vexing. I shall be sad to see him go. It is the longest we have seen him in many many years. A real treat.

Hope everyone has a contented day especially the wobbly, sad or in pain. Stay safe.

Morning Mick - I’m up with the sparrowfart as well! Rather damp here in north Wales but promising dryer for the rest of the day.

New covers on settees this morning as DH has finished the painting in the sitting room and I shall add the finishing touches with curtains, cushions and rug and claim all the credit? when folks say how lovely it looks!

Out to Llandudno for lunch later - lots of local restaurants doing 25-50% off food as the county is in lockdown and needs us locals to support them - I’m happy to do my bit? and will go on the bus so that I can enjoy a libation or two!??

Hope everyone has a good day and absent friends are thinking of us, as we are them - be lovely to see Friday Girl tomorrow........
