Good Morning Sunday

Ashcombe, just reading yesterday's Times and there is an article about various programmes, shows etc and there is one that I thought you might be interested in.
It's a ballet called Flight Pattern and is being streamed until the beginning of December on stream.roh.org.uk with a fee of £3
Apologies if you've seen this already and while I'm back on, glad you're feeling back on track Kalu

Grandmattie, the chicken sounds great, and I can make a Baharat substitute, but I’ll wait for the sumac, which I can definitely make use of!
Maw’s post on Thursday reminded me that Mr Sainsbury also delivered butternut squash and sweet potato, so a ‘nippy soup’ will be grand today.

Thank you Kittylester and Pittcity for the heads up about the Royal Mail collection service. I shall look into that as it will be so much easier. During the last lockdown we had such a struggle finding out when our local Post Office was open. So glad I came back to read the thread again!

Good afternoon,

Well it's another dismal sort of day here in South Yorkshire and it doesn't look like the fog is going to lift completely again, just like yesterday.

We watched the Remembrance service on tv this morning - very poignant. Ashcombe the display in your church looks lovely.

I need to stir myself to get on with some ironing and other jobs as they won't do themselves ?.

Take care everyone.

Dadima, look on GM Thursday thread and you’ll see one for your chicken,
Taichinan, I’m SO envious. I can’t remember the last time I slept the night through and woke up much after 5 am, usually earlier. Must be 25 years ago...

Welcome Daddima. Heavy rain in Central Scotland at the moment so no carpet cleaning for you today! This is a lovely thread.

Good morning all. Yet another late start on the Angus coast - I'm sleeping far too well at the moment! After four breathtakingly beautiful days here it's now dreich, with rain forecast later. Oh well, if we didn't get the grey we wouldn't appreciate the blue skies as much I suppose. Thank you for the lovely poppy photos Ashcombe - so bright and cheery. I watched the Festival of Remembrance last night and found it very poignant. Having "married into the military" - and believe me in my day you really did do just that! - so many memories come flooding back. There is such a camraderie among the men which I know will have existed amongst them through wars as well as peace and it is comforting to know that all those brave souls who were lost had that at least. Both my DSs are military - one now retired, but the other still airborne - so I feel I still have that link.

Ginny please let us have a photo of all your festive cushions when they are finished to add to our Good Morning Album. I seem to remember a snowman and a Rudolph still to come.

Marydoll you most definitely do NOT drag this thread down. You are amazingly upbeat and funny in spite of all your problems and setbacks, and we all look forward to your posts. I always look forward to Ellan's posts too - so come back soon please!

Grandmafrench I hope your hip feels better today.

I have no plans for myself today - outdoors doesn't look very inviting, so a relaxing indoors day. And then of course the results show of Strictly this evening. What an amazingly high standard the dancers are achieving. The younger ones have youth and stamina on their side, but the 'older' ones are incredible - loving Bill Bailey's performances! Have the best day you can everyone ?? ?

What a lovely thread! I can’t believe I’ve never read it before. It’s so nice to see that people have actually read what others have to say, and are replying to them. Feeling included, even online, is such a boost these days!
Outside Glasgow is indeed dreich, so my ( half hearted) plan of carpet shampooing did indeed ‘gang agley’, so I’m trying to find a good recipe for the chicken thighs Mr Sainsbury delivered yesterday.

Good Morning all from misty Harrogate - I've had quite a problem finding this post, I'm glad you are there Mick!
Just been out on the doorstep for the 2 minutes silence (think we were the only ones!!) DH. got back early from walking the dog to find The Archers had been on at 9m instead of 10am - he's not happy.
Today I intend to make a load of pastry, probably not enough for my mince pies, but I haven't yet made my mince meat, so no rush. This pm will have to content myself with reading the church service
Hope all are as well as they can be - and will be even better tomorrow

Good morning all. It’s a rainy grey day here in Lancashire. I have been watching the Remembrance service, I find it so moving. Sad to think of all those young and not so young lives lost, the least I can do is spare them a few minutes of my time.

Good morning from S Lanarkshire, grey and dull and think it may remain so. Beautiful pictures of your church Ashcombe and a poignant one of your dad NannyJan, I have one like it of my dad, not with the lovely poppy frame of course. He came through all right but although I only knew him as the good natured man he was, his sister told me he was not the same man who went away. How could he have been? I try to think about the ones who didn't return and the ones who did and lived with the consequences.
A peaceful day to all.

Good morning everyone, misty here in the Gower today.

I had a bit of a broken night last night but not through choice ?. How can you tell your neighbour off for being noisy at 3am without being noisy yourself ?. I'll put on some loud music shortly I think as it's very quiet next door ?

Catch up phonecalls with family members today and I'm hoping to get some inspiration for the 7 birthdays coming up in the next few weeks! Roast chicken and all that lovely veg' for dinner later ?

Pleased that your DS is recovering Gelisajams ?

Hope your DD has a negative result Susan and that all of you can rest easy. I am taking it easy, in fact if I take it any easier I'll become welded to the sofa ?

Lovely photos to mark remembrance today ?️

Reading the papers in bed Marydoll?

Pleased for you Annsixty ?

I hope Grandmafrench is feeling better today and thinking of Grammaretto. I do hope gillybob returns to this lovely thread, she's been away so long it does seem that she may not return. If you are reading this gillybob I hope you do return.

Take care everyone, stay safe, sane, wear a ? and be kind to yourselves everyone ❤️

Good morning from a very foggy Northants. Don't think it's going to lift at all today.

Just back from a trip to the skin clinic at the hospital; I had a suspicious looking spot on my wrist which I feared could be sun damage from my 10 years spent in tropical areas, so the doctor referred just in case. Luckily nothing sinister, and have some cream to put on it. So grateful to DD for the lift to hospital.

Am just about to start yet another Agatha Christie, 'Nemesis'. Slowly working my way through her complete works during Covid. Finished my book club book 'The Dutch House ' yesterday, so will leave it for DD.

Ordered my Christmas stamps yesterday from the Post Office on line shop.

Home this afternoon; hoping all have a good day.

Good morning all from Heathrow.
Quiet day today I think but in this house you never can plan for that! OH is in the kitchen prepping lunch, roast pork today with carrot and swede mash, roasted new potatoes and green beans. He always makes Sunday lunch for our neighbour as well. He does the majority of the cooking and I do the baking usually. When we met I was running a bar/restaurant in Spain and he didnt think it fair that I had to see to meals after working with food all day and who was I to argue!
Anyway I will end now before the 11am silence.
Take care everyone and extra love and hugs for all who need them.

Good morning Mick and all from dry, calm Anglesey. Just watching the commemorations on tv, very poignant. Lest we forget.
Wishing everyone the best day possible.

Good morning from out of the fog here on the border with Wales.

When it is sunny I feel obliged to be out in it; but today I can concentrate on creating a memory book for friends who have just left the village - I have accumulated old photos and greetings from many villagers.

Marydoll - I sympathise with the failing health - just when we have time to do as we wish, we find it hard to do! All we can do it to bash on with those things we can do, and find others to replace those we can't.

Good morning from West/York's it's very damp and misty here,had a lovely walk yesterday don't think we will be out today if weather dosnt pick up .We will be observing 2min silence at 11 .

Good news annsixty. Sounds like you are feeling like a new woman already. ?

Good morning all from a dreich day here in Glasgow.

I am finally feeling a good bit better as juggling my meds. are working their magic. Back to having a proper sleep which helps too. Onwards and upwards yet again.

I am sending some healthy vibes down to you Marydoll in the hope you will feel a bit better and possibly feel like a carpe diem day.? Best wishes to you too Grandmafrench, hoping your day goes well.

Now that I have finished using the power washer, DD1 will be down later to wash her car. I must remember to tell her how well she washed her car with strong hints, my car hasn’t been washed for months! Fingers crossed I may have a clean car today.??. Just as I was typing, it has started raining so our plans for today may well be the only thing being scrubbed!

Hoping everyone has a pleasant day and best wishes to those with worried times and health issues too.

Good morning all from a dreary Stockport.
I am pleased to say I had the best night sleep for a month and feel so much better for it.

As usual, no plans, but so happy to say I am feeling better everyday after my op and apart from needing one crutch, almost back to normal.

We are having fillet steak and sauté potatoes tonight at my GD’s request.
It was her b’day yesterday but we delayed it a day for logistical reasons.
I am still not enjoying wine, but may try a glass of red tonight.

The poppy photographs are so beautiful and so poignant, a reminder of the horror of war.

Hooray for America, seeing sense at last.

Have the best day you can everyone.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs on this Remembrance Sunday. A cold very foggy opening to the day here in South Yorkshire and I am full of cold so a late start for me. It never really cleared here yesterday, but DD and her menfolk were cycling in sunshine in the nearby Peak District. Glad they managed a day out. We will watch the Cenotaph Service this morning and remember all those lost, and friends we lost, in the service of their country.
Chicken in Parma ham for supper with potato latkes.

Good morning Mick and the GM team from east London, where it’s currently sunny!

I agree ‘good morningers’ about missing live theatre and live music. Virtually everything we had tickets for had to be cancelled. I am now receiving emails from theatres and music venues with details of forthcoming performances but I am really reluctant to book anything. Not even a meal for Christmas or New Years Eve.
As I am on the ‘clinically very vulnerable’ list, it’s hard to see any normality resuming, in the near future.
My partner’s birthday later this month will be a party for two at home.

I am roasting pork today. I plan a walk to the park later.
All good wishes to those facing challenges today. Good morning gillybob. Have a pleasant day, all. ?

Morning all from a dark and murky South Notts where we've had rain overnight. I hope to do the weekly shop later, then it'll be feet up with the newspaper, sewing and knitting. Very mundane, I'm afraid.

Hope all is well with everyone, especially those with illness or worries, not forgetting our absentees.

Hope your DD is better soon Susan ?

Good morning everyone from north Kent where it is sunny with clear blue skies.
Lovely photographs of poppies and handsome fathers. We shall watch the service from the Cenotaph and observe the two minutes silence. I shall think of my grandfarhers who were both badly wounded on the Western Front.
Another day in the garden; just pottering really and tidying up whilst enjoying the sunshine.
? for Marydoll and Grandmafrench. - here’s hoping you have a better day. Hope your DD’s test is negative Susan56. Best wishes to all worried or unwell. Stay safe
