Good Morning Monday

Morning everyone, dark and cool in south Cornwall. Thank you for all your kind comments about my granddaughter's surprise party. Later that night her 3 year old brother was rushed into hospital with dangerously low oxygen levels (asthma). He's ok now phew.

Today it's my allotment knitting group. Although we are usually all outdoor stalwarts we're meeting in a house from today, till next spring. I'm knitting berets and fingerless gloves.

My daughter and son-in-law in Liverpool are nervously awaiting the Northern restrictions to be announced today.

Have the best day possible all of you.

Good morning everyone from Malaga where it’s just getting light. It’s 16°C already with sun and a high of 24°C later. ?

I can see the marina from here and the lights are still on down there. Yesterday there was a regatta (maybe because today is a public holiday) and the white sails of all the boats looked so pretty against the dark blue of the sparkling Mediterranean. I wish I’d taken a photo.

Thinking of ALL our missing posters who have gone AWOL for one reason or another. Sorry you have cold sores Scentia I’m not a sufferer but a friend is and they always look so painful.

I was pleased with my efforts doing my own pedicure. Nice short nails again with coral varnish. Sandal ready!

Hope Monday is good to us all. My girls will apparently get delivery of their ‘Liberty of London’ advent calendars today. I’m excited for them and am looking forward to a phone call later from them both!

Keep safe everyone that’s the main thing. x

Good morning Mick and all

It’s just beginning to get light here, no idea what the weathers like as curtains are closed (DH is still snoring purring)

Bottling onions this morning then off to the gym. I will visit local butchers, which conveniently us three doors down from gym as I fancy sausage, mash and onion gravy for dinner.

Hello to the norty girls you are very much missed.

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️

Good morning from a still dark Essex by the sea. It's also a bit chilly, thank goodness the heating comes on shortly.
We spoke to the person we think bumped our car. Lots of red paint on the car, the car is black by the way, he drives a red van and he was here Friday night. We think he caught it when he was reversing to drive out. He says he doesn't remember doing it but also says he was very tired.
We are going to get it looked at, get a price for repair and depending how much either pay, probably go 50/50, ourselves or if it's horrendously expensive, we will have to go through insurance. It's all a pain as whatever happens we will be without a car for sometime.
On a lighter note we have no real plans today. Housework and ironing, some admin, knitting, sewing and reading.
Have a lovely Monday and stay safe everyone xx

Good Morning everyone.
Still dark in Oxfordshire.
Work this morning and then going to see Mum and Dad later.
Mum still waiting to see the neurologist so hopefully appointment will come through soon.
Hope everyone has a good day.?

Good morning all from a chilly Glasgow, it's 3° with showers predicted. I sound like a weather forecaster.
A golfing day for DH, so I'm wide awake now.

I wasn't planning on going out, the numbers here are very high, but I have to go out and chase up my missing prescriptions again.
My poor SIL feels bad, that despite him reading out my list and being assured that they were all there, some were missing. They won't deliver, the surgery won't allow any pickups of prescriptions, so I have no choice. I can't even change pharmacies.?
Enough moaning for one morning!

The spray painting of the lamp base has been completed and even DH conceded it looked impressive, well good! DH's idea of praise is, It's fine. Kalu, you have spurred me on to greater things! ?

I spent the afternoon planting my remaining bulbs and pottering about. It was such a lovely day.
My neighbour, the eBay queen who is now also Facebook Marketplace queen, came over to update me on her latest acquisitions and sales. I'm so in awe of how clever she is at this!!
She inspected the lamp ( socially distanced in the garden of course ) and is off out to buy some spray paint!!.

A visit it in the evening from DS2 to pick up the delivery of his new phone completed a pleasant day. He and his fiancée brought even more crocus bulbs! I'm going to be kept busy.?Because we are under very strict regulations here, they had to stand in our porch. It was absolutely freezing.

The Doghouse4 are still on the norty step, but able to read posts, so if you want them to read any good wishes, they can.
Has anyone noticed how quiet GN has been without them?
I do know a number of posters have decided, in support, not to post until they are out on parole.

I continue to worry about the lack of communication from our missing posters and feel powerless to help them. Hoping to hear that the phantom car basher has been unmasked!
Urmston, I was glad to hear you family are on the mend.
For everyone else who is struggling with illness in their family, virtual hugs.

Take care, everyone and have the best day you can.

Good morning to one and all,

A very quiet morning here in Torbay and still dark with just a hint of lightening towards the East. Luckily, my bedroom has dual aspect windows so I have sun, when it shines (!) for most of the day.

The highlight of my (quarantine) Sunday was watching the German GP. No spoilers in case anyone plans to watch on catch up but it had some interesting moments and a moving presentation afterwards.

Sending positive thoughts to those with worries about their own health or that of their loved ones.

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire. Dry but probably cold out there today. I will walk the pooch as soon as the sun comes up and I will know for sure!
I have the devil of all colds and have no less than 5 cold sores. I look like a crack addict?. It is so uncomfortable though and is making me feel miserable to be honest.
I had my DGS Saturday and Sunday and he is coughing like ‘billyo’ and I felt when we were out walking I had to tell everyone he had been tested negative, I felt rather vulnerable being stared at by people!! It is less embarrassing to trump than cough in public nowadays!
He was up at 2am on Sunday morning and we had breakfast at 4am sat watching Peppa Pig and he was a real live wire, just what you want at 4am. The dog went off upstairs to find somewhere peaceful!!!
We did some painting and play doh, we went out walking at 7am and returned at 10am not once did he drop off back to sleep!!
At the factory today, we are actually very busy so my DH is naturally in a brighter mood, I wish I didn’t have this cold as I really haven’t got much get up and go!
I am determined to keep smiling though, that is if my lips can take it. I was told yesterday that I smile so wide it can be seen through my mask!!! (I think they meant my eyes light up!!)
Take care everyone and stay safe, I assume my son’s city will be in full lockdown today, they have the highest number per 100k in the whole country, not sure how far that will spread. We will se what they say later.

Good morning Mick. Going to look after GChildren today so hoping for another bright dry day.

Happy Monday everyone.

white flowers...

Good morning from a dry dark E Kent.
Mince pies. Don’t see the point of these pumpkins. Now squash is a different matter. Love them.
Finally planted out my pots yesterday. Red dwarf tulips with blue and violet irises, overplanted with white and blue pansies, white pansies always remind me of my grandmother. She loved while flowers.
Made a lovely roast lamb on a bed of rice and vegetables, new recipe from paper yesterday.
Hope today brings peace and comfort to everyone.

Pumpkin for me Mick.
Good Morning everyone from a dry Severnside.

Some batch cooking for me today with a chicken recipe in mind and now I’ve found and bought some spiced vinegar I’ll make some beetroot chutney.

Have a good day all ?
