Good Morning Sunday

Good morning Mick and all who follow from a dark, chilly but dry Greater Manchester.
I'm either up very early or very late; I can't seem to manage a reasonable time.
I'm another one missing my regular theatre trips. We had tickets for the Lowry to see Malory Towers, amongst others, goodness knows when we will see that now.
Casserole to make for later.
Facetime last night with the family. Son mentioned a toy that had sold out over there that the boys had seen and would have liked, but I found it and ordered it while we were speaking. Just the five parcels to post now. I weigh and measure them, then print out the postage and labels from the Royal Mail site. They still have to be taken to the Post Office but it saves time there.
Lovely pictures of your church Ashcombe. My grandad was the first person to lay a wreath on the Cenotaph in his hometown. He led the Remembrace Day parade from the first one in 1921 until 1977 when he handed over his 'ceremonial stick' to a younger person. We used to go and watch the parade with enormous pride.
Hope Marydoll is feeling better today after a rest and doesn't overdo it today.
Hope everyone with ills or worries has as peaceful a day as possible. Stay safe

Morning Mick, morning All. It’s grey in our corner of Somerset, looks damp although not raining. A quiet, gentle day for us. We will pay our respects at 11am, perhaps a short walk along the river afterwards. Our Christmas cake to bake later before a roast takes over the oven. Take care everyone. Special thoughts for those carrying pain and sadness.

Good morning from a misty Essex by the sea where the bright orange ball of sun is rising over the tree tops.
We had a lovely walk yesterday morning and sat drinking our coffee overlooking the estuary.
No plans today apart from watching the service from the Cenotaph.
Roast chicken and apple crumble later.
May you all have the best Sunday and stay safe everyone xx

Good morning Mick and all

It seems to be fairly mild outside today. We watched the the Remembrance Service last night, it seemed extra poignant without an audience.

No plans for today, roast beef and all the trimmings later.

Thinking of our missing friends especially gillybob

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️

Good morning Mick and All.

Grey day in South Bucks.

Our local NT gardens and take away cafe still open so will visit today, but will stop at 11.00 to pay our respects to those no longer with us.

Yes I too miss real live theatre and especially our great local amateur theatre.

Having lasagne tonight and some rather nice red wine from one of the M and S deals.

Hope your day goes well, especially those like our dear Marydoll who is not in the best of health. ?

Morning all from a rainy North Leicestershire.

We will go out for the 2 minutes Silence at 11 and at least wave to the neighbours. We will then video call DD2 and her girls on WhatsApp and possibly talk to DSIL if he stands still long enough.

Tagine, rice and salad for lunch.

Have a good day all.

Good morning Mick and everyone. We have another lovely day here in Malta.

What lovely photos Ashcombe, poppies are amongst my favourite flowers whatever time of year but they take on a special significance at this time of remembrance.

Yesterday’s tennis didn’t go the way I had hoped, being a Rafa fan it was hard to see him go out. I shall probably watch the final today but don’t care who wins.

I’m about to get up and do my aerobics on line which I find makes me feel a lot better physically and mentally. It’s so easy to let things drag us down in these frustrating times, but I am trying to keep as cheerful as possible.

Wishing you all the best day possible.☀️

Good Morning all. It’s been raining during the night.
Welcome to the new faces I see and the missing ones of late.

Auntieflo I have wondered about planting my olive tree in the ground. Perhaps I will next year or at least a bigger pot.

I think I should do some tidying up today. I seem to be spreading stuff in all places around the house instead of their proper homes. Mustn’t forget to do the monthly admin either later.

Lovely photos are being posted on threads and they bring a Scentia smile. Stay safe everyone ?

Good morning Mick and all.

I seem to be waking up extremely early (4.30ish) since the clocks went back
Rainy day forecast so will try to keep busy indoors..facetime son and family in Oz...love seeing them all..
Keep on keeping safe ?...and as Scentia says..keep smiling ?

Good morning, Mick and company from a dark, quiet corner of Torbay!

Like Mick, I have missed live performances, both participating in amateur ones and watching professional shows. We had tickets for “Swan Lake” with the Birmingham Royal Ballet at the Theatre Royal in Plymouth in April. Initially, this was postponed but then cancelled. The theatre itself was in danger of folding but I think it has benefited from a rescue package.

The photos were taken in my church on Friday in honour of Remembrance Sunday.

Thinking of those who grieve and wishing those with problems some light in their lives.

Good morning Mick and all to come.
Up early to look after the DGSs as daughter is working an early. Will stay at their home for the 11am 2 minutes silence and then bring them home, they enjoy time with our dog and we will take him to the local park.
DD has requested roast dinner so that will be ready for when she gets home.
We have a family Zoom catch up then with my sisters and all the cousins. There are 26 of us now of four generations and we are all very close so it has been difficult not being able to meet up. Zoom is not quite the same but it will be good to see and talk to them.
Hope all those struggling with pain and challenges have a better day.

Good morning from a misty E Kent.
Yes, I know what you mean Mick, missing outings. I have barely left the house since we visited DD in January, although I am in rude good health. Getting cabin fever.
I was saddened to learn of the death of Rabbi Sacks. He really was a good ‘in; wise, learned, intelligent and above all loving and kind to his fellow man. Sadly missed.
Have a good day everyone. Stay safe.
