Good morning from damp, dark Torbay!

Beechnut: I'm impressed that they roll out the (red?!) carpet for you at tge airport ......... ?
Sar: it's so hard with long distance family at the moment. Likewise grandMattie
Glad you’ve succeeded, ElizabethI

Little planned for today other than the weekly Zoom meeting with the am-dram gang this afternoon which includes DH joining us from France. Goodness knows if I’ll go to his home for Christmas or not. Travel arrangements have not yet been clarified by our illustrious leaders.

Please stay safe and make the best of a new day, everyone.

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it is still dark and feels mild.
I put a ‘shout out’ for a poet yesterday and almost immediately Ashcombe popped up and said she would help, well what a wonderful job she did too, had me in tears it did when she sent me the poem❤️ (Good tears mind!)
Today I am off to DD with mask in hand to give her house a good clean (I just have to bend the rules a bit) she has been really poorly this pregnancy and DH is due back home tomorrow and apparently her house is a ‘right mess’
I will send her out in the fresh air with DGS snd set to. She has ADHD and always struggles to get organised but feeling poorly causes more disorder in her life.
I will then bring myself to go to the shops and get some little gifts for friends before I collect my stuff from Sainsbury’s click and collect.
I really love this little ‘gang’ I am in on a morning and look forward to reading all your posts with my tea mid morning.
Take care everyone and stay safe ❤️

Good morning all from a chilly North Leicestershire. I think there is rain in the forecast as well.

Our cleaner is coming this morning so I will try to do some online shopping and keep out of her way.

Dh is going a drive this morning and we must wrap up some of our garden pots.

We do know how to live!!

Talking dentists, Corner, DS2 has “an assessment” from his dentist yesterday. He said it was totally surreal. He had to put his mobile phone camera with light into his mouth to assess the damage! ?He’s got an appointment for next week.

Good morning Mick and all

Enjoy Sainsbury’s Mick
Sorry your DD is upset Sar53 hopefully she will feel better today, no matter how old our AC are the urge to cuddle and make everything better never goes away thanks

It’s still dark outside, lots of jobs I want to
do today, starting with bed changing, finishing writing Christmas cards and finish decorating the house for Christmas (no main Christmas tree yet as we have a real one in the sitting room, little ones in other rooms)

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️

Good Morning everyone from Severnside. It’s a dark and wet start.
I’m a Border Force fan Marydoll. I’m so sad about it that when I see the carpet at one airport I always say ‘That’s were I was, that’s were I walked’. Oh dear!

I’m going to make a start on my dress for a wedding. It has soft pleating in the front so I’m going to cut into an old sheet to see if I like it and if not will do some gathers.

Only a few more days Urm. I was wondering how many books you had read while you’ve been in your other home.

Have a good day all and stay safe, there’s progress out there

Good morning everyone from a dark Essex by the sea. Not too cold today, I think by tomorrow it will be a lot chillier.
Had a long chat with DD2 yesterday evening where she got very upset. This is so unlike her. I just wanted to put my arms around her and give her a cuddle.
We had a new office chair delivered yesterday and spent ages putting it together, they don't make these things easy. It's all done now so a trip to the tip today to get rid of the old one.
I'm told my parcel is waiting for me at a local shop ??.
Have the best Wednesday you can and stay safe everyone xx

Morning Mick, morning All from a dark, decidedly chilly corner of Somerset. Been awake for an hour or so, far too early. Success Elizabeth, good to see you. Chauffeuring Mr C to the dentist this morning, grocery delivery later and some dust removal in between. Should fill the day peacefully enough. Wishing everyone some brightness in the day, take care.

Good morning Mick, grandMattie & Elizabeth and all to come.
Just off to do the school run in the breaking dawn. I’ll pop in later.

Good morning everyone (one last try at posting)I’m awake really early today and it’s very dark and dry out there from the east coast of Fife I had a wee shopping trip yesterday to B&Ms where I bought a load of toiletries it was a good experience getting out and about. Himself turned into mr grumpy last night I think because he was tired. Hope today’s a good relaxing day for everyone take care and be safe.

Good morning fromE Kent.
How exciting, Mick, to have a new Sainsbury’s. Have fun with all their spec offers. We have started to go to Tesco as my Sainsbury’s is in the highest infection rate for the country, and it would be silly to expose ourselves to the risk.
I’m completely flummoxed by the new Christmas regulations. But as our AC and GC are either far away, overseas or working, we are unlikely to see anyone, so they don’t affect us.
Doing a zoom cookery course on time for dinner tonight. DH is quite excited...
I hope that today is gentle with the sad, lonely, in pain or any other vicissitudes that life is being so generous with at the moment. Stay safe. X
