Good Morning Wednesday

Good Morning from a dry and chilly Oxfordshire
Annapops lovely news...you must be very proud of your GD.
Grandma french glad you are back so to speak
Have a good day everyone

Thanks granmattie. No wonder we couldn’t see it last night ??.

Yes Sar it does indeed begin with R. Such a lovely venue and it was very busy yesterday . We were surprised on a rainy Tuesday afternoon that so many people were enjoying their afternoon tea. Obviously very popular.

What a wonderful opportunity for your GD Annapops. Very well done to her. ?

Well done to your GD, Annapops. May she go from strength to strength!⭐️

Good morning Mick and All.

Beautiful sunrise here in South Bucks.

Where has the time gone Kitty with your wolfie now being two? I bet you love him to bits. What a thoughtful Golden Wedding gift from your DS2. It proves you and MrKitty did a good job with your family. ?

We are having our computers overhauled today, so I will take myself off for a strong Italian coffee and a mooch around the shops, all in mask and at a 2 metre distance.

Good morning Mick and all from a clear S Hants. Sitting here trying to be brave, which sounds daft, as I have the dentist soon and a mammogram this afternoon, health anxiety is a right b****r.
Wishing you all a peaceful day.

Very many congratulations to your DGD Annapops. What wonderful news - she is obviously a very talented young lady!

What lovely ballet news Annapops.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a clearing South Yorkshire. We had a walk out yesterday and got soaked. I wouldn’t pay meteorologists in washers!! Today we can’t go out as DH is expecting a call from the pulmonary clinic to discuss his exercise regime. And today is the day we will know for certain whether the city goes into a high tier lockdown. I am beyond angry at all this, but being angry won’t get us anywhere so we will get on with it as best we can.
Corner ?. Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning Mick and all. It is dry here on the S Welsh coast. Yesterday passed pleasantly enough with a toasted sandwich sitting outside a cafe on an almost deserted seafront, and our car passed its MOT. However I missed the fish van, can't have everything! Highlight for today is a Sainsburys delivery. Digging a moat sounds a good idea to me corner.
Take care everyone.

Good morning Mick and all his followers.
It’s a lovely morning in Suffolk, although everywhere is very wet, so they t has been raining recently. I am a bit fed up with all this rain - enough!
The WI are meeting in the local pub for lunch today, in tables of six. Last month there were nine of us and it was so nice just to have a chat with a different group of people.
This news about Essex is disappointing - we are due to meet some very old friends for lunch in 10 days time. We haven’t met up for over thirty years.
Hope to see the two who have been released from their doghouse soon and hope the others soon follow.
I hope the day is kind to everyone.

That’s beautiful kitty how wonderful.

Good morning all from County Durham. Looking dull out there but at least it's dry for now.

Some wonderful news yesterday. GD1 has been accepted by Royal Ballet on their junior associates programme. She's the youngest at her dance school to have ever been accepted. We're all so overjoyed for her especially after the fall from grace of Ballet West Scotland where she had previously been an associate. Her audition was carried out remotely which makes her achievement even more remarkable. Her lessons with them will be held in Newcastle each week which again is a plus for DD not having to travel to Edinburgh every month. After hearing such wonderful news I wanted to dance all day too.

Good news in these difficult times is so hard to come by. I do hope for some to come your way too, dear GN's. It's so warming to listen into your lives and stories. Keep sharing and supporting one another through these dark wintery times.

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny Essex by the sea.
DH's birthday today and we are going out for dinner this evening. We will pop round to his younger daughter's when the grandchildren are home from school.
We collected our new tv yesterday and spent some time setting it up. You can use the remote like a mouse to move around the screen !!!
Gingster was that the hotel beginning with an 'R', we've had afternoon tea there and very nice it is too.
DH will be off to the tip this morning to get rid of the old tv and the packaging for the new one, I have a pile of ironing to clear.
Have a lovely Wednesday and stay safe xx

What a touching gift from your DS, Kitty - what a lovely, thoughtful man he is.

Good morning Mick and all from the Angus coast. I've looked out - and come back to bed! According to the weather app we'll have a sunny afternoon again, which is something to look forward to. You're very observant when you're out shopping Mick - I didn't notice anything Christmassy on the shelves yesterday, although there was plenty for Halloween. Nothing of interest to report from my little country nook. It sounds like everything is very sad round your way Cornergran - make sure you and Mr C stay safe. Have a good day everyone ???

Good morning from Manchester where there is a faint pink stripe in the sky. Walk and chores today and then going to watch last episode of Us. Read the book a few years ago but thought the first ep was a bit slow but stuck with it. Had a tesco delivery yesterday. The driver asked if I had a frozen turkey for Christmas. If so, to order sooner rather than later as they were delivering lots already. Think I'll take my chance! Have a good day everyone. Hugs for those with wobbles - me! for those with extra cares and worries.

Ging, I think it was Mars, and it was at dawn...

Good morning from Derbyshire. Looks like being a nice morning with a threat of rain this afternoon.

Well...yesterday was interesting with one or two loose ends tied up!
On a lighter note I was so glad my parsnip photo raised a few smiles and loved the name suggestions put forward!

Today I'll do some housework and a bit of garden tidying. This afternoon is my weekly weigh-in to see what damage was caused by last weeks holiday. This evening we're going out to take advantage of a 50% off good offer at our local restaurant.

Hope everyone has a good day today.

Good morning all. Brighter here In Essex after yesterday when it poured all day. It was so miserable, that we went for afternoon tea in a lovely hotel along the seafront In Thorpe bay. We’d been given a voucher last Xmas and hasn’t used it so decided to go. We spent our wedding night there 49 years ago,, but it wasn’t so up market then.

DG1 has tested negative at Uni. All her bubble (the other 5) have tested positive.

Yes Pittcity I wonder if we will be put in the higher tier. ?. Perhaps a good thing. I’m not sure.

brook what a beautiful place you live. Waterfalls ! Fabulous.

Too wet and cloudy for us to see Mars or the moon last night. Is it Mars or Venus??????

DD will pop in for a coffee after work and have a catch-up.
DH going fishing if it keeps fine.

Keep well everyone and stay away from the crowds who are STILL gathering. ?

Good morning all from a very chilly North Leicestershire where I think there might be a little rain on the window.

Zoomed Carer's course this morning and doing my on-line Sainsbury's shop this pm - I hate it!

We had a lovely hour or so with Wolfie and his mum and brother and sister. 2 year olds are fascinating and he is especially so!!

In the evening DS2 came round with new tea pot as a wedding anniversary present. He said it was to symbolise the warmth and comfort he feels coming here and the memories it evokes of drinking tea before school and watching the Breakfast news. We were both overcome!

Good morning Muck and all x

Fed up today as PittiCity has posted our County Council want to be put in Tier 2. We have been fairly lucky in Essex so far with low rates of infections, but hey ho needs must!!

(((hugs))) to all in need.

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️

Good morning from Leicestershire, I haven’t looked out yet.

Not much planned today except we are getting our feet done.

Hope everyone has a good day. I believe some of the doghouse 4 have been released so look forward to seeing them.
Thinking especially of gilly.

Good morning from Colchester where it has just started to chuck it down. Hope it clears so I can walk into town for a coffee meetup. It might be our last one for a while as Essex County Council has asked to be put into a higher Covid tier.

I saw Mars last night peeping out from behind the clouds.

Morning everyone from a cold starlit south Cornwall. Was out on my patio an hour ago and it feels like a lovely day is emerging.

Will ring my hip surgeon's secretary today to ask about waiting lists. Otherwise a quiet knitting and pottering day, unless my son gives me 10 minutes notice of meeting in town for coffee, as he did yesterday! Boy did I get dressed quickly! We had a lovely catch up. He's a professional photographer usually but is currently a delivery driver for Amazon, and has some amusing tales to tell. Have the best day you can, all of you.

Morning Mick, morning All. Dark and dry in our corner of Somerset, sunshine forecast, a good drying day for the laundry. Will get some garden furniture under cover, usual Wednesday dust removal and grocery delivery. Neighbour wants a chat this afternoon. There’s a heavy feel here, a poorly neighbour has died and two more went off to hospital by ambulance, one made it back the other is now an inpatient. Mr C suggested we dig a moat around us and pull up the drawbridge. Take care everyone, have the best day you can in this strange world.
