Morning Mick, morning All from a dark, dry and draughty corner of Somerset. Should see some sun later, hooray. We planned to drop off ‘stuff’ for family today and to clean my parents grave, it will be more pleasant in sunshine for sure. Hope today is better for you bellasnana, your advice to Mick is good for us all I think, definite lack of smiles here yesterday, glued back on today. Take care everyone. Special thoughts for those with heavy hearts or worries of any kind.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Just getting light in South Yorkshire but the forecast is reasonable for the day. Hang in there, Mick; we’re all feeling much the same at the moment; treading water. I have a cake to decorate for my son in law’s birthday today which should keep me out of trouble for a bit. Also a pile of ironing I’ve been ignoring. Have a good safe day whatever you’re doing.

Good morning from Malta where it’s a grey start to the day but, so far, dry and mild.

Thank you all so much for your kind words yesterday. You really helped me feel I wasn’t on my own. The worries are not going to go away in a hurry, but I feel a bit more able to cope so thank you from my heart, and sorry for bringing the thread down.

I did walk up to the village yesterday, just as the heavens opened but I didn’t get too wet. Had a coffee, went to the pharmacy then later watched the tennis.

Had a long FaceTime with DD2 and DGD in Florida. DGD has just got braces on her teeth, very pretty ones, but she said they were hurting. I suggested a spoonful of Calpol or the equivalent, so her mum duly gave her some. Not often anyone takes my advice!grin

DD3 came over for an hour or so. She needed her mum to hug her.

No plans today apart from the tennis. NanKate I always think of you watching at the same time. Did you see ND getting trounced? That really cheered me up! (Aren’t I horrible).

Hoping those of you who are not well or not happy will manage to have a bearable day. How did you get on at your oncologist dear dragonfly? I hope you had good news.

Mick keep your chin up. It is hard for you to be confined to barracks, I feel for you and hope your bus trips will soon be back on.

Take care all.☀️

Morning Mick and All.

Dark grey sky which should turn into a cold sunny day.

DH booked tickets for NT Gardens today for a walk and coffee outside the cafe. By chance he’s chosen the only decent day ?

Back for the Tennis. ?? See you there Bellasnana.

Hope you have a good day today Marydoll. ?

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s still dark and quite cold today so we’ll need to wrap up warm brrrrr!
I’m looking forward to meeting a friend for coffee this morning and then a bit more shopping - DD2 thinks I’m her personal shopper just now so I’m always on the look out for things on her shopping list too ... ?
Other than that nothing else planned for today, will have to think of something to cook for dinner later, I’m nowhere near as organised with my cooking as some of you lovely GMorningers seem to be - I definitely must try harder ...
Hoping everyone with worries and struggles has a good day today and take care whatever the day brings ?

Good Morning everyone from Severnside. It’s dark and dry.
Going back to read yesterday’s thread I found many of you had some worrying things going on in your lives ?

I’ve been waiting for a dry day to clean my car, inside and out before it goes for a service next week. Another job I could do is change over my shoes for the winter to the cupboard by the door. I must remember to put out the bin while I have the garage door open as the gate has taken on it’s winter stuck shut. I’m going to have to get my thinking cap on!

Thinking of you all as we go about our day ?

Good morning Mick and all to come on a cold morning here in north Surrey.
I will continue on my deep clean of the house today which is keeping me busy and happy. LauraN I would love to make a start on decorating our lounge but it is a big job, lounge/diner, hall and stairs. We had extension built in 1999 and had laminate wood flooring put down. It has lasted well but needs replacing now so that is on my want/need list for next year.
I have a walk planned with DS’s partner and DGDs this afternoon and DH will make requested stew for dinner.
Wishing all GMs a good day, keep safe

Good morning from a dark, still E Kent.
The forecast is for the temperature to drop and drop all day. We’re not used to this down here!
Spanish class this morning. I’m still struggling after a 6 month break, no one to speak it to. It’ll get better, although I’m finding Zoom classes unsatisfactory.
The engineer came for our boiler yesterday and after testing exhaustively, decided it was the circuit board. Don’t know how long that’ll take to order and install. Mercifully, the heating can be used manually, though it means a trip to the garage to switch on and off.
I hope that those in pain and sadness, especially our own Marydoll have an acceptable day. Stay safe. ❤️

Good Morning Everyone,
Its a dark start this morning here in Brackley , think the outside temperatures are going to be very low this morning, and the cold grey skies above .
Today nothing much may compile my xmas card list , as we start week 3 of this lockdown ,and await what next has the government got in mind?
Take Care ,
Mick
