Good Morning Tuesday

Good morning Mick and all his followers.
It has stopped raining here in Suffolk and is getting brighter - there are shadows! Today I am going to spread the gravel on our new path - I shall be very smug when it’s done. We are hoping the grass dries enough to cut it later today. The ironing can wait until tomorrow .
Best wishes to MrL and see you soon Maw.
GrandMattie my SiL and niece are pescatarians - there is even a name for it!
I hope the day is kind to everyone.

PS

Marydoll I followed your strict instructions yesterday and did not by scarves or jewellery, just a pair of brightly coloured socks.

Glad you have got your tooth sorted at last NannyJ.

What a relief Bella ?

Good morning Michael and all GNs from a dull but dry South Yorkshire. It rained a lot during the night. I know. I was up☹️. Diverticulitis flare up. DH has an eye test this afternoon. He’s most put out that I’m not allowed to go with him to help him choose new glasses, but them’s the rools! I will potter today and try not to do a lot.
Hope Mr L’s appointment goes okay today kitty. Have a good safe day folks.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Thanks for the weather forecast - yours are much more accurate than the BBC.
Dry now but wet underfoot.
Yoga at 10. I'd better get a move on.
I was woken by DGC WhatsApp call. I assumed something awful but they just wanted to show me they were baking bread and their new puppy.
I hope your DD makes a good recovery Bellasnana it is so hard being far away.
Have a goood day everyone.

What a relief for you Bellasnana. Hopefully a more restful night for you later as the news from your DD will put your mind at rest now. What a stoical girl, wonder who she gets it from.?

Jax Both DDs and I often have long phone chats for a vent and spur each other on when needed. As we are in semi lockdown here, DD1 and our 2GDs , although they live only 15mins away, we can’t visit each other indoors and we all follow the guidelines. Enjoy your coffee catch up with your DD at the weekend.

Morming from S Lanarkshire, a heavy sky with little patches of blue, we'll see which win out. A general tidy up, dusting etc today and then a walk if possible. Second youngest GD's 8th birthday on Friday and I need a roll of wrapping paper for the lovely cushion I have for her with a message on it about hugging it to feel my love inside. I ordered it from an advert on Facebook, it's personalised and I'm pleased with it. I suspect she might be more pleased with the Lelli Kelly boots which will accompany it!
Sending kind wishes to all.

Good morning Mick and all from a dry and still Anglesey. Had a lovely long chat with Australian family in the wee small hours, got off to sleep about 4am. The builders arrived at 7.45 this morning and set up their radio outside my bedroom window, I pulled up the covers and tried to sleep on but to no avail.
Will have to have a brisk walk to wake myself up.
Hope all goes well for MrLester and anyone else having tests or treatments.
Enjoy your little gathering Urms sounds like lots of fun.
Come on Maw your fan club awaits.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning to you Mick and everyone from a dreich South Lanarkshire. I’m going to do a bit of batch cooking today then get on with some crochet. I find my mood slumps if I don’t feel that I’ve achieved something in the day.

Onwards and upwards, hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning one and all. All the 'D's here to day - Damp, Dark and Dreich on the Angus coast. After a few weeks of only a few hours' sleep a night, last night I slept like a log for a full eight hours and am having difficulty waking up I'd be asleep still if I didn't have a hairdresser's appointment! Meeting my niece for a quick lunch and catch up afterwards, and then a trip to the M&S food store, so a full day ahead. Only had time for a very quick skim through the posts, so that's a pleasure for later. Enjoy your tai chi Grandmattie - and my DDiL, who has been veggie all her life, eats fish so your DH isn't too far out! Thoughts for you and your DH Kitty and hope all goes well today. Everyone else, enjoy everything that comes your way and stay safe, warm and dry. ???

Good morning Mick and the GM team from a grey east London. I am struggling with the dark mornings ... it’s like midnight at 6.30am.

Scentia, can you pop a small personal alarm into your coat pocket, for those dark, early morning walks to work? I used to insist all of my team had them ... then I would ask them where is was. ‘In my desk drawer’ was quite often the answer.
I think it just increases the sense of self confidence a bit.
Good morning Maw and Hattie. Good morning gilly.

I have some work to do this morning and a medical telephone consultation.
No idea what to cook for supper ...
My partner has on line tuition with several of his students.

We watched the first and second episodes of Roadkill, on the BBC iplayer yesterday. It seemed a bit slow to build up ... and then in the last 5 minutes of episode two ... everything happened...

Have a good day all and ? to those facing challenges.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning Mick and all. Overnight rain but it is now dry and bright here on the S Welsh coast. I too am hoping to see the fish van today as I missed him last week. We defrosted the chest freezer a few days ago and threw out some things that were well out of date. No idea what is on the cards today, probably a walk at sometime if it stays dry.
Best wishes to Maw and Hattie.
Have a good day.

Good morning from a wet but warm Colchester. Temperature could reach 18 today.
A day volunteering at a charity shop today. This is still allowed here in Essex but a coffee meetup isn't.
I am just so happy to get out of the house.

Good morning everyone from north Kent where it is grey and damp, but quite mild.
An arranged visit today to a local bathroom showroom to choose all the necessities for the new bathroom next month. Have been busy measuring spaces and alcoves now all we need to do is decide what’s going in them!
We shall call in at our local garden centre for compost and other sundries; we are planning on moving two hydrangeas so need to prepare their new homes.
Have installed two new squirrel-busting bird seed feeders in the garden to deter the pesky blighters. So far, they haven’t been able to stuff their faces with seeds, but neither have the birds who have studiously ignored the new feeders; usually the trees have several groups all chattering and squabbling, but apart from one blue tit who grabbed a quick snack on the wing there has been nothing else. Will have to wait and see if they get used to their new restaurants!
Hope all medical appointments go well and those with illnesses and worries have a better day. Have a good Tuesday. Stay safe.

Good morning Mick and everyone, from a dull and drizzly Oxfordshire, I was planning on a gardening day today, but as it’s wet I’ll find something indoors to do, probably sorting out the spare bedrooms, they haven’t been used for GCs since last year(☹️) and have become a bit of a dumping ground.

Apart from that I’m avoiding catching the eye of the tradesmen who are working in the wet outside and their lovely dog who is very wet and wants to come indoors, he has access to his basket in the van so I’m trying to resist .
Have a good day everyone, hopefully Maw will be back soon.

Good morning Mick and all from a balmy, damp S Hants. At last have a date for the new kitchen, 9th November , will start emptying cupboards next week. DH car had a service and MOT yesterday, all fine. Today I have a booking at the local tip for allotment rubbish, think I might get wet.
Bellasnana good news from your daughter, onwards.
Scentia you’re brave! Ashcombe busy days after your confinement. Kalu I know how you feel, had a long phone call with my daughter last night, I’ve been hyper cautious about having her and GC’s indoors throughout and feel I must relax a bit, she’s a single parent working in a school with little respite. We are tier 1, so I’ve suggested they call in for coffee at the weekend.
Have a peaceful day all.

Good morning everyone from Malaga where we have no sun, just a bank of white clouds and heavy mist over the mountains right now. The forecast is for the same tomorrow and rain on Thursday!

Ah well, Tuesday = my LWW day. I’m joyous. I really enjoy our weekly get together! I started this group when I retired six years ago and it’s a wonderful weekly gathering. The ladies who are resident here keep it going and us visitors join in as and when throughout the year.

I shall need a jacket or thick cardigan today - I hate to be chilly!

Hope all goes well for Mr.L today kitty with negative results. I shall pop back later in the hope that Maw has posted. Thinking of you too gillybob as ever.

Hope Tuesday is kind to us all. Keep safe everyone that’s the main thing. x

Good morning all . We had a lovely walk along the river yesterday with little pooch who was desperate to chase the swans. They soon disappeared to the other side , so we were able to let her off lead for a run. It was such a lovely, calm, sunny day. Lifted the spirits! ?.

I found a recipe for a quick Xmas cake. Only 3 ingredients. Mixed fruit, flour and ..... chocolate milk. I thought I’d give it a go. It looks ok but haven’t tasted it yet. ?.

Missing my U3A groups now we’re in tier 2. We’d just got back to almost normal, being very careful , and now restrictions have curtailed everything again! At least we can still get out walking even if the weather isn’t great.

Best wishes to all. Take care and find something enjoyable to do. ???

Good morning from Durham. It’s wet again - not what we need here when we are only allowed to socialize outdoors!
DD1 bringing DGS today (our bubble) he likes to pick up the windfall apples, so the hard floors will need a good clean when he’s gone. I can barely contain my excitement! Obviously, I need to get out more ? - if only!

Hope everyone has the best day today and thinking of all with troubles. X

Good morning from a very gloomy East Midlands, well the northern bit of it!
Supermarket shopping this morning, we find Tuesdays are much less crowded than towards the weekend and we do only go once a week.
Busy day today making various Christmas gifts- I'm a keen crafter - but should do the ironing first I suppose!
Good wishes to all those GNetters feeling unwell or having treatment today.
Stay safe everyone!

Good morning from a dull and wet Black Country.

It seemed very surreal at the Dentist yesterday. I had to phone from the car, and someone came out to meet me. The hand sanitizer, then once in Dentists room, had to wash hand, then again when leaving. They only allow one patient at a time. At least my filling is done now, as I had been waiting since April.

We were all sent a short video clip of my Niece being shown the birthday vidoes we all sent. Her look of surprise when she saw her Nan, then a few tears, then roars of laughter at the end as she said 'Did anyone say Beveragino?' She didn't expect that! . Apparently its a Tik Tok video popular in Australia. We are hoping she is home next birthday for her 30th! They are living life fairly normally over there, she was away for the weekend with friends.

Wishing you all a lovely day, and hoping MrLesters procedure goes well.

Probably drive over to Mums today so we can have a short walk along the Staffs Railway walk, whilst partner is off on a cycle ride with his club.

We

Morning everyone from a wet, windy south Cornwall. Received a letter yesterday telling me a pelvic xray has been booked for me next month. Must mean that the surgeon my doctor wrote to asking for an urgent referral is considering doing my hip replacements. Phew. Even if the op ends up being near Christmas I'll be in that hospital like a shot!

I can hear the Tuesday market stalls going up and also the street cleaning machine which is currently sucking up autumn leaves. My road, in the centre of town, is lined with lovely trees. The council look after it so well. At the moment there is bunting strung from tree to tree, with hanging baskets on the shop walls. Next month the bunting will come down and white fairy lights will go up.

Well, the best of days to you all. I'm off later to our main (only!) big hospital to have my ears vacuumed! Such excitement.

Good morning all from Malta where the weather is dry at present but showers are forecast. It is definitely cooler, I’ve had to put a blanket on the bed for the first time since March.

Had a bad night worrying about DD1 - being six hours behind meant her op began at around 11pm our time. She messaged at 4am with a photo, all went well and she was already back home with her little dog. She’s so brave. Not one word of complaint even though it must be a struggle on her own and managing one-handed.

Hope all goes well for your DH, kitty.?

I’m with you dragonfly, struggling to get motivated today.

Scentia, take care. I watch too many crime shows and wouldn’t dare to walk in the dark, dog or no dog!

Nfk, I like the sound of your new norm. Anything that involves cake gets my vote!

Kalu, I know how you feel. I’m planning an ‘outing’ to buy dog food. Times certainly have changed and no sign of them getting any better.

Anyway, enough of my ramblings. Have the best day possible everyone. Special thoughts for those who are finding it all too much.☀️?

Good morning all from a wet Glasgow.

We have nothing planned today, apart from deciding which is the safest supermarket to get bread and milk from. Sainsbury's is probably the best with wide aisles and a security guard at the door.
I'm still feeling ropey, but that's the nature of my conditions. I may brave phoning the surgery ? to seek some advice! I need to pluck up some courage first.
I'm envious of all of you who still have some vestige of a social life. We haven't been able to have anyone in our homes for ages and it looks like NS is going to introduce even stricter regulations on Friday. My friend wanted me to go with her to the charity shop, but we can't share a car and I'm very wary of going anywhere anyway. It's all for the best, I know.

Kitty, sending best wishes for your husband today and to anyone else, who is unwell.
Bellasnanna, I hope your daughter's op was successful yesterday.
You are a brave woman Scentia!

Maw should be back today, but who knows, I suspect it won't be easy. ☹️

Enjoy your day, everyone.

Morning Mick and All.

Grey but warmish day in prospect here in South Bucks.

Thanks folks for all the positive messages yesterday prior to us meeting up with our old friends in Burford. We chatted, laughed and generally had a lovely time. As I get older I value these times more and more.

Hope all goes well for MrKitty today.
