Good morning/afternoon. Wasn’t well last night so am still in bed. Might get up for the tennis. It is cold, damp and grey here. My neighbour has kindly delivered chicken soup ?.
I looked in and am delighted annsixty to see you posting already. Wonderful. Happy birthday nortsat and happy anniversary kittylesters.
newquay. Why not send your sister flowers “with love from ..” there is a company whose flowers go through a letterbox.
bellasnonna. Have a gentle day and concentrate on the happy/funny memories.

Just popping back to wish Nortsat a happy birthday and the Kittylesters best wishes on their golden anniversary- ??for all!

And lovely to hear that Annsixty is recovering after her long overdue hip op ?

Welcome to our newbies and lurkers- this IS the bestest thread.... we are all quite lovely ?

Welcome Newquay - sad to hear about your dear sister but please try and maintain contact. I have no brothers or sisters and would love to have them.

Mary don't you dare to stop posting. You keep us all going - just ignore the ignoramuses!

Maw if you are reading this you are must missed with your measured and intelligent posts.

Good afternoon and ? Happy Birthday , Nortsat. Carry on being a happy couple and many Congrats to The Lovely Lesters.
Hold tight to lovely memories today Bella , and Ann - your new life Day 1., so be hopeful but patient and kind to yourself...you’ve been through such a lot. Happy weekend, folks. Hugs ????

Good afternoon from a lurker.
Had a restless night-again-then fell into a good sleep about 7am so was late getting up!
I have always had magnificent dreams and am definitely having more at the moment-they can be very entertaining!
Happy Golden Wedding to the Lesters-ours was in April. DH put up a huge poster in front window and we “held court” in the front garden. Great fun but not the family meal and holiday we had planned!
Oh Bellasnana, how sad. My only sister and I who have always been very close are now separated. Her son said some awful things about something we said over 20 years ago. He then went and upset my sister. I thought she’d had a breakdown. He refuses to speak to any of us now. Dear, dear sister wants us to just carry on as usual and “not mention the war” but it upsets me so much. Am so aware that time is short but don’t know what to do so doubly sad for you Bellasnana today. ?
Gwenisgreat in Harrogate-our DD2 lives there too. We saw them in January the again last weekend. FT is brilliant but not the same is it?

Oh goodness me. Good afternoon Mick, *Annie and all.

Happy anniversary to Mr and Mrs KittyLester.

Happy birthday to all those I have probably missed, and congratulations to Annsixty on having a new hip.

Marydoll, can't believe that someone has upset you.

I have been busy doing nothing and the time has gone! so sat down for a coffee and discovered that it was later than I thought.

As someone upthread has mentioned, I add my best wishes to the missing three, and hope they manage to return soon. ?

May go out and look for a coat in a minute. But where to look?

To all who are poorly, missing or just fed up,

Have a good weekend one and all.

Good afternoon everyone. It's been a strange morning here in the Gower, I won't bore you with. Sorry haven't been able to read everyone's posts.

? Happy Birthday to you, happy Birthday Nortsat? I hope you have a lovely birthday ? ? ? ?

Happy Golden Wedding Anniversary Mrs & Mr Kitty. 50 years of treasured memories to share today ?? ?

Hope all GN's are having a good day, sending healing vibes to any one of you facing trials and tribulations of any kind ?

Be kind to yourselves everyone ❤️

Oops it was morning when I said good morning but afternoon by the time I posted, long winded or what.

Good morning Mick and all from windy Anglesey, it’s blowing a hoolie.
Congratulations Annsixty, so glad the op has gone well
Happy birthday Nortsat
Happy golden wedding anniversary the Kittylesters
Sad day for you Bellasnonna , sisters are very special.
Welcome Pollydolly and Goodbyetoallthat .
Glad the Covid Warriors continue to improve Urm, I’m sure the gift will cheer them on.
I note I’m not the only one who often comes late but still think it’s worth posting to wish each other well.
Marydoll you have done the right thing. Please don’t post less because of a few souls who over react. Bad things happen when good people do nothing.
Perhaps when a thread gets a bit heavy the good people can change the subject and chat about flowers, stars or even train timetables which would be appropriate if derailment occurs. Just a thought.
Wishing a happier day than yesterday to all.

Hope your day is full of fond memories on your 50th Wedding Anniversary, Mr and Mrs Kitty. xx [wine.

Sending best wishes to Annsixty. x

GrannyGravy, I have been kicking myself that I didn’t start a diary at the beginning of all this. 200 days and counting and hoping your last entry will soon be we have discovered a vaccine.

I forgot to add my good wishes to the redoubtable Annsixty for her continued speedy recovery.

and calming thoughts for Marydoll who has enough on her plate to be going on with without being slammed on "here" for being correct!

I have been following Beauregard's Cornish adventure. It has brought back happy memories.

A very happy golden wedding anniversary to the Lesters.
I have met Kitty and can't compare her to the old woman my Nan was on her GWA and she was only 68. How times have changed.

Happy Golden Anniversary kittylester. I hope you and MrL have a wonderful day ??

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday Nortsat ???

Good morning All from a bright but windy Kent! Got woken up at 08:00 by DH coming home from work. The paperman arrived at the same time so there were voices. Went back to sleep and woke at 10:00 with a Spitfire overhead. We get them a lot over Ashford, on their way to the Battle of Britain memorial at Capel-le-Ferne and back to Biggin Hill. I often wonder what it must have been like with hundreds of them going over during wartime.
Nothing planned for today, DH has gone for a sleep but will wake in time for the Grand Prix qualifying sessions. I will —attempt— do the Times Jumbo xword !
Have a good day and stay safe

Good morning all from Manchester. Bit late this morning, it's taken ages to read all the lovely posts. Must plant some bulbs today or they will be here same time next year! I only read the the threads that come on the daily email so haven't come across too many nasty postings as I don't know which threads they are on. The good morning thread is like a chat with old friends. Had a lovely pub lunch with Mr M yesterday. They try so hard it will be sad if they lose their business. Keep safe everyone. Hugs for those who need one and for those with extra cares and worries.

Back again ? I have been keeping a diary since my first day of isolating, although I venture out now I was amazed to see that it's been 200 days of this Covid nightmare!!!

Kittylester many many congratulations on your anniversary! Bet you can’t believe all those years have passed. Hope you can celebrate! ????

Marydoll you did the right thing, I would have done the same If I had seen it!

Marydoll there's are lots of odd things happening on GN at the moment, most of it is very unpleasant ?

Good morning all from Harrogate - a bit grey with the sun trying to break through, but suspect the rain will win later.So far DH has survived without dairy, and without too much complaining, fingers crossed for the rest of the day. Did go for a sneaky trip to Aldi yesterday which I enjoyed and got one stocking filler for dear GD, there weren't anything for little boys. I shall now have to go and make some crumbles using dairy free produce. I've got apples, and brambles am not sure what other fruit is in the freezer but will soon find out!

Hope all the troubles and sadness will evaporate today.

Good morning all from County Durham.

A quiter day beckons after yesterday's 7mile walk around Amble and Warkworth. The weather was just perfect and the sea views on the way back to the car were stunning. I've included a photo of Coquet Island, a lighthouse once manned by Grace Darling's brother. Another photo was taken at Ushaw earlier in the week. It's part of a "Windows in the trees" exhibition and this one is "The Virus", a much prettier version than that nasty one floating through the air presently.

We've done our best to get out and about this week as tighter restrictions are going to hit us hard here soon. I am definitely beginning to think our cottage in Melrose won't happen now. It is just the two of us but I have a feeling we are going to be told not to have overnight stays and only travel if essential. All very sad but others are going through far worse and it is so essential we protect one another as much as we can.

Stay as safe as you can everyone.
