Good Morning Friday

Another one here with a blank day ahead though a trip to Tesco is needed. It is interesting that so many of us feel so flat and struggling to stay positive. At least the weather is on our side again today so perhaps a little potter in the garden may help.

Missing Ellan and hoping she is all right. Worrying when a regular doesn’t post for a couple of days.

Good morning all from a very bright Stockport.
I had to smile reading Gelisa’s post, when my H was well we spent a lot of time in the Lake District, we were very keen walkers .
Once we were sitting having a snack by one of the quieter lakes, you could park right by the lakeshore.
A transit type van pulled up next to us and out came two large men in uniform, obviously guards.
They opened the doors of the vehicle and out poured a dozen or so young men , the guards instructed them to take off outer clothes , they all wore trunks and race down to the lake into the water.
The language which came forth when they were in I had never heard before or since
The water must have been icy, they must have been so shocked.
We didn’t know whether to laugh or appear shocked,.
The guards thought it hilarious.

Good morning,

There are some beautiful photos as I'm scrolling down the posts today - such beautiful skies. Not the same here in South Yorkshire I'm afraid, it's still very misty and murky here, and isn't showing signs of lifting just yet, though it's supposed to, so we will see.

There were lots of fireworks last night around and about so I got a good view from an upstairs window for 10 minutes or so whilst dinner was cooking. Very pretty, but very loud which will have frightenened a lot of animals, I'm sure. My take on there being so many this year is because there couldn't be any organised events so people decided to do their own as a way of having some cheer in these dark times. I might be wrong, of course.

Sorry to read your sad news, marydoll. No wonder your consultant says it's not safe for you to go to hospital just yet.

Not sure of my plans today, other than to make a pizza base later. Think I'll just let the day unfold ?.

Take care everyone, and ? to all with sadness or worries.

Morning everyone, I don’t post really, not much to say!
Was wondering about PurplePixie, she didn’t seem too good last time she posted..... hope you’re ok Purple!

Good Morning all from nondescript Harrogate
Sad News, indeed Marydoll. Yesterday on-line I found a photo of my cousin's gravestone - no-one told me she had died!! It just says 2020 on it and her year of birth!! Is this the way it's done in Canada? She lived in Ontario. Thought one of her off-spring might have let me know!!
Note - one less christmas card!!
Made one Christmas cake yesterday, will make another tomorrow for my DD. I do my Xmas pudds in the microwave and they don't need to be made just yet

Stay safe everyone, it's looking optimistic for a vaccine soon!!

Good morning all from dry bright Anglesey. I’m afraid I’m a late riser so won’t post often but enjoy reading all the catch up news. Lots of lovely photos, especially seeing the sun rise, I rarely see that for real!
Do all stay well and safe

That’s an awful way to receive sad news Gwenisgreat. Sorry to hear that and sympathy to all who have lost someone dear.

good morning from a stunningly beautiful day in the north of Scotland. I’ve been in the woods trying to up my mojo. It is strange to be walking around so often alone instead of with friends. My walking friends are shielding. I survived a neighbour’s new puppy round me in circles still on the lead. She is struggling to socialise her because she has to walk alone too (other than the dog).
I’m with you grandmaFrench on the gadgets to make life easier. still browsing the handheld steam cleaners as the reviews are so varied. We used to talk about not buying a Monday or Friday item as the quality would be poorer but surely that can’t apply nowadays?
Off to to have my coffee, sit out wrapped up and watch my sheets on the line.
annsixty. You sound so much brighter I am happy for you.
Have the best day you can all.

Good morning all!
Well I have a Marydoll empty at the moment. My OH has gone to see his DM. Her guttering has come down at the back of the house so he has gone to fix it. Thats the good thing having a builder in the family, no waiting around for someone to come out and no massive bill!
I sent her Christmas cake over with him as I may not see her before the big day.
I have the bread maker going and I am just having a break (!) glancing through GN before I set to cleaning the fish tank!
Earlier I rang the hospital to see if my tablets were ready for collection (its 20 minute drive away) and they said they would send them by courier as I shouldn't be out in lockdown! Now there is service!
I waiting for the delivery of a Fire tablet and a Fire stick today so setting them up is my job for later.
Sorry to hear your sad news Marydoll and Gwen.
Love and hugs to all who need them and yes EV where are you, I hope its only a problem with your internet.

Just popped back in to add my "Beautiful autumn" pictures to the Good Morning Album. So Laura order, don't not post because you come late to the feast. There's lots of us who pop in later for a quick catch up. Then you can enjoy your long lies and the Good Morning thread! ?
