Good Morning Thursday

Good morning from Derbyshire. A dry sunny day in store.

I'm earlier posting as it's my supermarket shop day and I like to go early to avoid the crowds.

Yesterday I got a call from my daughter, who is a teacher. One of the children in her class has tested positive for covid so she has been sent home to isolate. Hopefully she won't develop symptoms but it is very concerning and means we won't be able to see her or our grandsons for a while.

It really brings it home how you can be so careful and follow all the rules yourselves, but just how close it can be to you and affect you in many other ways.

Not much else planned today - I'll probably do some more gardening later.

Have a good day everyone.

Morning all from a cool but dry north Wales where I’m enjoying the chamberpot in the sitting room listening to DHs dulcet tones.....snoring?

Happy anniversary GrandMattie ? and lovely end of quarantine for Ashcombe - I remember that! The feeling of phew ?!

Nothing much on today ( apart from clothes, of course?)
which means I’ll pop along later and read all your bizziness - hope everyone has a good day whatever they’re doing x

Oh forgot! Its our 43rd wedding anniversary today, got married on my 29 1/2 birthday! Going out to dinner... with DS, probably wouldn't have if we'd been on our own.

Good morning! Dark outside still and not ventured outside yet but hoping for a lovely, dry, mild day like yesterday. We moved the cattle yesterday down to the water meadow where there is still a good pick of grass for them to tuck into before the frost knocks it back. It’s one of their favourite fields (and mine!) so they took off down the road at a gallop when they realised where they were heading to - happy cows! Today’s jobs include painting the rams chests with blue raddle ready for week 3 of tupping. I’ve yet to find a way of rubbing oily blue paint onto the rams without applying the same amount to myself, so I’ll be sporting the ‘Smurf-look’ later today! Somebody asked yesterday what breed of sheep I have - mostly Mules but also Llyn, Zwartbles, and some Galways which are new to me this year. All 160 have names and I can recognise probably 3/4 of them without having to check their name tag. Every adult animal has a name on the farm which is unusual but it works for me as it’s much easier to remember details about them all if associated with a name rather than just a number. I find that sheep have very individual personalities and have way too many favourites! Wishing you all a happy Thursday

Good morning from a still dark E Kent.
Late this morning as I had to finish my homework for my Spanish class later today. Curiously we had to do an exercise on computers and electronics - the vocab thereof. Although not terribly satisfactory, Zoomng the class is OK and our teacher is working very hard to make it worthwhile.
Been very busy trying to sort DS1 with his CV19 testing and with stuff he will need to take with him; the lists of things people want him to take back, presents he wants to give...
Be of good cheer everyone. Stay safe.

Good Morning Mick and all to come from here in East Staffordshire. It feels cold this morning, I will take the dog out in a bit and will be getting my winter coat out for the first time, that will be upsetting, as I bet it no longer fits!!!
Work at the factory today, I will get that heater going there as soon as I get in, it can get very very cold in there, we are not even in winter yet?
DH and I are going to see DD this evening as DH is doing some sort of torch run around where she lives and he said he would like to visit her before, that is unusual as he is not one for visiting, I wonder if he is ill?
DD has her scan next week and her DH is away as I will have DGS, DH also said he may go with her, he is definitely ill, he never even came with me!!!!
I feel so much better this morning and my coldsores are getting so much better I can smile without bleeding now! So smile I will, it is my medicine and I would hate to have to wear a mask outside as I love to smile at strangers and say hello, they can’t help themselves but smile back and that makes me feel nice.
Take care everyone and stay safe.

kitty I thought your teapot story was lovely.

Good morning to Mick and any other early risers!

We have a dry morning again and enjoyed several hours of sunshine yesterday but it was breezy. Quarantine is nearly over for me so I hope I can experience a few days of normality, such as it is, before any new restrictions come into force, necessary though they may be. At present Torbay is in the medium tier despite recording 100 new cases last week.

Stay safe and well, everyone.

Time will tell Mick
Good Morning everyone from Severnside
. It’s a dry dark start with a sliver of moon and many stars in the clear sky.
Letter writing today as I didn’t get round to it yesterday.
I went to B&Q and as there seemed to be more staff than customers I felt comfortable to have a wander around looking at various things.

I hope you all have a good day and welcome to the new good morningers ?
