Thinking of you

, go gently.
MawB2 thinking of you 
Morning Mick, morning All. Grey cloud over our corner of Somerset. Routine day ahead, dust removal and some soup to make. Resting on our laurels today, three tasks accomplished from our list yesterday. Next list day is Thursday, a day off is scheduled for tomorrow. Mustn’t over do it
. Hello and welcome MrsThreadgoode, Oh mary, understand the worry about your granddaughter, one of ours has had to isolate twice it. You’re not having the best time, go gently. Not a good day for you yesterday ashcombe, hope all goes smoothly now. In general I think any sort of joint or muscle pain increases in either cold or damp weather scentia, hope today is more comfortable. Take care everyone. Thinking of anyone with a heavy heart.
Maw three years already ? Thinking of you on this sad anniversary.
Sun’s up here! ?
Good morning everyone from a beautiful start to the day in Malaga ?
The new curfew rules come into play from today and sadly will affect our LWW afternoons.
☹️
The decision by the junta is that we all have to stay in our council regions - so 3 of us will be in our bar in Torremolinos and the other 4 will be in the other bar we go to in Benalmadena! We literally live next to the bridge (the dividing line) so if we stood there we could even wave to the other ladies over the road!
Himself realised last night that if he & his friend won’t be able to watch Rangers evening matches now either as everyone has to be home by 7pm.
Our daughter, the Covid warrior is in week 5 with a sick note for next week. The practice nurse rang her yesterday to see how she is doing and made an appointment for her to be seen by the GP next week. She told her to put all thoughts of returning to work (she’s a teacher) out of her mind for a while until she starts to make more progress, as otherwise it is just making her anxious. I felt quite anxious for her when I went to bed.
On a happier note, I hope Tuesday is kind to us all. Sorry to hear you’re arthritis has flared Scentia. Maybe that’s why you took your husband to task - you must want him to do more of something. Keep safe everyone that’s the main thing. x

for you, MawB2.
I expect you have some wonderful memories to treasure on this poignant day.

Good morning everyone from a dry and mild Essex by the sea.
DGD3 is 9 today but no school as her whole class is isolating as one little girl has Covid. I'm sure my daughter and SIL plus her two sisters will spoil her. I'll facetime with her later.
The cleaner for our small block of flats has decided he doesn't want to do it anymore so I think DH is going to sweep the stairs later. It's going to be hard to find a reliable cleaner at the moment.
A little housework to do and maybe a walk later.
Scentia another one here who's arthritis is more noticeable in the cold. My right hand and elbow joint are very painful at the moment.
Have a pleasant Tuesday and stay safe everyone xx
Good morning all from County Durham. Haven't even bothered to look outside, but fingers crossed the forecast earlier in the week comes true with some eventual sunshine.
Supermarket delivery day and our Hello Fresh box expected. I also got round to ordering our Children in Need Calendar ( no trip into Durham this year for a signature copy from our local TV weather presenter).
Meeting DD1 and GD2 for a walk which I'm really looking forward too. May take along a flask and a treat to share. It feels like ages since I've seen them and Lockdown 2 isn't even a week in length.
Have the best day you can everyone.
Good Morning from a dark and drizzly Black Country.
Making chicken soup this morning as we had roast chicken last night. No other real plans today, hopefully a walk if it brightens up.
Had a lovely surprise in the post yesterday. My partners daughter in London sent us a parcel full of goodies, chocolate, flavoured teas, and a relaxing room spray.
My partner had a call yesterday from a private eye hospital making an appointment for an initial consultation regarding a cataract operation. This is through NHS but they are obviously using the private sector for some procedures.
Starting to feel a bit down, as there seems to be no end to this. Maybe we can be hopefully cautious with the news of this vaccine announced yesterday?
Sorry you had problems sorting out your insurance Ashcombe and then the inevitable 'ambulance chasers'. I had a car hit mine 5 years ago when it was on our drive! It had rolled down from the road opposite. My car was a write off, and within a couple of days, I had the call about the 'accident' and could claim compensation. When I said I wasn't even in the car at the time, they just said, 'oh, I was told you were'.
Good luck today at the hospital Dragonfly
'Welcome to GN and this lovely thread MrsThreadgoode
'Wishing you all a good day, and hope gilly and EV will be back with us soon
Good morning All from a foggy (again) Polmont. Today is babysitting day2 which will be a rerun of yesterday. Swings and puddle splashing, if I can find any. A visit to the fish van is a highlight! Have a good day all.
Good Morning everyone from Oxfordshire where it is grey but dry.
Beechnut and Marydoll strange dreams for you last night!
Not much to report ... work soon and a pile of ironing to come home to later.
Hope everyone has as good a day as they can
Good morning Mick and all
Stay safe Muck we need you x
Ashcombe what a fuss, insurance companies are a pain!!!!
dragonfly a restful day after your treatment sounds a good idea
Marydoll and Beechnut dreams really are unsettling, mine have been weird since March.
Have baby here all day and then pick up his brother from school, who has asked for a sleepover so that is our 24 hours.
Keep safe and well folks ?♀️
Morning all from a damp looking North Leicestershire.
Our occasional gardener is coming today to plant the bulbs she has bought for us and some putting to bed. Considering there is lots of stuff still flowering in the garden, I doubt she will get that finished.
DH is up and getting ready to do an early drive this morning and my only pressing job is to talk to the butcher about my Christmas order!
Take care everyone. And sending love to gilly.
Beechnut, you have just reminded me that I have a Welcome to your new home card to make for my son who moves house on Thursday. My crafting stash has remained untouched for about a year!
What a lovely way to spend time with your daughter.
Good morning all from a dark, damp S Hants, we too had heavy rain just after 10 last night Dwmxwg, Ashcombe what an annoying day you had, Scentia sorry to hear of your arthritis playing up. Another day of kitchen refurb, it’s odd speaking to the fitter by phone when he’s in the next room, but needs must. Another microwave meal in our glamping tonight, tomorrow the culinary upgrade to fish and chips from up the road.
Have a peaceful day all. (Hope EV shows up)
Good morning Mick and all from a very dark Glasgow.
I understand that you are missing your trips out Mick, but I'm glad you are being sensible and not using public transport. We don't want anything to happen to you.
I've been up since 5am, I just couldn't sleep. I have been dreaming about all sorts of GN threads, especially the dog one. In my dream, Laura Norder, was called in to find the irresponsible dog owner. Totally bizarre, to say the least.
I couldn't think what I was so unsettled until I remembered the cause must have been my weekly injection, which I had to do late last night, having forgotten to do it in the morning. It had totally slipped my mind. So unlike me, I'm usually such an organised person. It was DH who asked me, which is very unusual for him to even notice!!!
Also the situation in my granddaughter's school continues to deteriorate, with more classes isolating. It has been preying o my mind.
Ashcombe, sorry to hear about all the hassle you had yesterday, its such a stressful business.
MrsThreadgoode, what an unusual name. I haven't seen you posting before, so welcome to the GM thread!
I hope all is going well with your treatment Dragonfly and you are not suffering too many side effects.
Wishing all those with worries and who are struggling, the best day you can. Susan , I hope you and your family are feeling a bit better.
Good morning from Malta where the weather looks good despite the forecast predicting rain.
So sorry to hear of the aggravation you’ve had Ashcombe, it’s so stressful and annoying especially when it was through no fault of your own. Hope it gets sorted quickly so you can put it behind you.
Had a very pleasant day yesterday. Enjoyed a walk in the countryside with a friend. We did a lot of talking as well as walking!
In the evening DD3 came over and DS made spaghetti carbonara for them. He’s a chef so it was nice seeing him in action! Another of their childhood pals joined as well and it was such a joy to hear them all chatting and laughing. No rules broken since we are allowed visitors.
No specific plans for today, will see how it goes.
Wishing you all the best day you can have, thoughts with those who are struggling, and do hope EV and gilly are ok. ☀️
Beechnut what a strange dream and what a perfect day you describe, how lovely
Good morning all GMs from a dark north Surrey. Gosh we had some rain in the night.
Ashcombe how sad these scammers try to abuse us when we are at an already stressful time, glad you told them what for.
Another work day for me later so will use this morning to put the house in order before I leave.
Yesterday when I got in my car to go to work the steering wheel was sticky and there was some white stuff on it. When I got home i asked DH to solve the mystery - “oh I bought an iced bun when I did the shopping” - he has been caught out before when we got Tesco vouchers for fresh cream cakes (they give vouchers for items that you regularly buy) the cakes never made it as far as home!!
Wishing all a good day
