Good morning everyone from Inverness, it’s still dark outside but we’ve been promised a dry day at last ?
Yesterday DH and I went walking to look at the local waterfalls in Glen Affric which were so impressive after all the rain. Really roaring water and amongst the autumn colours too, it was beautiful and we had a lovely afternoon
Today I’m up early as it’s the lull before the storm so to say, with the DGC arriving soon. Just got them for the morning today as SiL should be finishing work early afternoon. Then it’s off for a relaxing coffee with my friend - I’ll need it!
Hope everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care whatever the day brings ?

Good morning all from a nippy east Midlands. Lovely moon and Venus in the Eastern sky. Stay safe and sane during these mad ? days.

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire. Not been out yet, but I bet it’s cold out. I will walk the pooch before going over to DD to go swimming with DGS. I did suggest to DD that we cycle to the pool, she didn’t sound keen! I am worried about her as she has gotten rather weighty over lockdown and now she is pregnant I don’t want her to get ill. She has never been overweight before and doesn’t realise how damaging it can be, especially during pregnancy.
My bulbs arrived yesterday so I will put them in either this afternoon or at the weekend. I have loads of peony tulips, they are lovely.
Off to get dressed now, take care of yourselves today, stay warm, stay safe and have a sneaky smile to yourself when you are thinking about something. (People will ask what you are smiling at, you don’t have to tell of course!)

Good morning all from Torbay where it’s dry and expected to be sunny, as it was yesterday.

Todays's excitement includes emptying the bin (my only chance to breathe some fresh air, due to quarantine) and swapping my summer clothes for winter garb. I know how to live!

Have a good day and best wishes to all with worries of any kind.

Good Morning all from Severnside. Dark and dry.

My friend came by yesterday and we had a good chat, mainly about her house move. Sounds more of a palaver these days than when I last moved thirty odd years ago.

Today I’m off to do a spot of shopping and depending how long I am away from home will write some letters later.

Stay safe everyone ?

Good morning from a dawning E Kent. Did any one see the old moon and Mars nestling up to it. It’s gorgeous! Probably as dry today as it was wet yesterday. It’s so dry here that we’ve forgotten what rain is like!
I’ve got one of those fridge/freezers, *Mick. I have a sort of plastic stick in the drainage hole. I always wondered where the defrosting water went to...
Just laundry today. Exciting or what?
DS2 has reported that his Paper recycling and manufacture factory is full of virus, one paper machine has been stopped, which is unheard of due to virus. Seeing him on Saturday - hope he doesn’t bring it with him.
I’ve been trying to make food that DS1 especially likes before his return to India an institution food. Last night was fish and chips, which I loathe so he a salad. Tonight pizza (homemade of course).
Trust that today will be gentle to everyone.

Should read ‘too dark to see’....

Good morning Mick and all who follow later.
Seems to be dry and cold here in Oxfordshire, but too dark at the moment.
We have a garden full of tree surgeons and fencers here again so tea, coffee and biscuits will be the main focus of the day and trying to protect some of my larger plants from the chain saw. Although maybe a good trim would be a good idea? Anyway at least it should be a dry day for them, I felt sorry for them on Monday they were so wet.
Have a good day everybody and best wishes to the DogHouse 3 and all those who need a peaceful day.

Morning Mick and all who follow from a dark north Wales where methinks we’ll have a lovely drying day so I can get some washing done!

Off to dad’s later, who’s feeling a little sorry for himself although he’s had a negative COVID test - now he’ll have to put those aches, pains and niggles down to old age!

Have a safe day everyone and welcome back The renegades ?

Good morning from another early bird here on the east coast of Fife where it’s getting colder and really dark yesterday was a good day for this household where all three of us were In harmony with each other and I won’t cry if I never see another chip please please give me more vegetables much more healthier too. I’ve asked for fluffy scrambled eggs on toast for breakfast and given instructions to DH as to how to get the eggs fluffy he’s learning every day smile

Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark but looking dry and cold out there in Brackley this morning.
Anyway , my trip out yesterday saw some interesting things in the way people are shopping , there seems to a demand on artificial xmas trees plus xmas puds seem also to be in demand .
Today ,apart from watching cycling on TV later, I need to sort out my frost free fridge freezer as to water in base of fridge anyway have located the hole at back of the fridge part , so will use something once shelving has been removed , to plunge the whole and try and free up a blockage to allow water to drain out back of fridge freezer .
Take Care ,
Mick
