Good Morning Sunday

Good morning Mick and all GN's from a cloudy but dry Preston.
Deepest sympathy to Grammaretto,it's never easy losing a loved one and covid makes everything so much harder.
I'm hoping to have a walk today with my neighbour and then a game of cards and dominoes with her this evening. Bailey's for her and G &T for me. Didn't speak to a soul yesterday but a good friend has arranged a phone call for later this afternoon.
Hope everyone has as a good a day as possible and finds something that raises a smile.

Good morning from North Yorkshire. It’s very foggy and I can’t see the house across the field behind me.
Condolences to Grammaretto
Dragonfly some for you too.
Nothing much on today. Just enjoying croissants and coffee and listening to the radio.
Stay safe everyone. Hope there is something in your day to make you feel cheerful.

Good morning from a grey overcast Norfolk.

Not much on today, beginning 3 days of isolation ready for a minor operation on Tuesday, has made me realise how hard it has been for those who had to shield for months on end, beginning to see how lucky we’ve been. Not looking forward to it but essential to get it done.

Slow cooker pulled pork today, new recipe so hoping it will be okay.

Off to find things to do to keep busy, missing gillybob hoping things have improved for her.

Keep safe everyone.

Good morning to all from DD's in a dull East Northants. DSon-in-law has just taken the dogs out for their morning walk, and DD has put some sausages in the oven for our breakfast. I slept till 9am this morning, which is brilliant for me. Am now just sitting with a large mug of tea, with my tablets lined up in front of me!

Had a lovely Chinese last night, my treat for them putting up with me every weekend! DSon-in-law and I always have the same - chicken curry, rice and chips! DD was more adventurous, and had crispy beef in kung-po sauce. Sadly our rugby team lost yesterday, but England beat Wales, so swings and roundabouts.

I must have missed the post about Grammaretto's sad loss, so am sending my condolences now. I know she will find plenty of support on here.

Nothing much planned for today, breakfast, then start my new Agatha Christie, and home this afternoon. Will get ready for a week of baking as I have mince pies and sausage rolls requested by the family! And have also promised DD a lemon drizzle cake.

So sorry to learn of your very sad news Grammaretto sending my condolences

Good morning from Shropshire.

Sending condolences to Grammaretto.Our thoughts are with you and your family?

Thinking of all in pain or down in the dumps.

Have a good day all.

Dragonfly

Good morning one and all. Clear blue sky in the Gower this morning and a tad chilly, brr.

Sorry to hear that today is such a difficult day for you dragonfly ?. I hope you and your DH do find some gentle enjoyment for his birthday today.

My thoughts are with Grammaretto and her family for the deep sadness they are feeling right now. May you find comfort and strength from one another Grammaretto. Sending my heartfelt condolences to you ?

Stay safe and take care everybody.

X posts. Sincere condolences to you Grammaretto I can only imagine your heartbreak. x

Good morning everyone from a dry and slightly misty South Manchester. Day 2 of isolation here in Urmston Towers. Why is it that when I can’t go out for a walk I’d really like to? No garden to sit in either. Hey ho.

Himself will be watching Man. Utd and the Grand Prix. I can’t stand the noise so will sit on our bed and close the door. Actually I’d forgotten I’d been given an Alexa for Christmas last year and I think I’ll plug it in there for some of my music choices. I shall also watch some television or catch up programme today.

Sorry to hear you’re feeling low today dragonfly and that you’re not feeling well harrigran. I hope you both feel a little better as the day goes on.

Fried bacon on wholemeal toast soon for breakfast. A real treat with hot coffee.

I shall ring my Spanish neighbour and friend after that. She is struggling I can tell and yesterday’s telephone calls cheered her and reassured her. It means so much to her right now it’s the least I can do. Anxiety is horrible isn’t it? It pulls you down and is utterly exhausting. It’s not living, it’s existing.

On a cheerier note my phone went yesterday and a little voice said ‘Guess what grandma? We bought our Christmas tree this afternoon and we are all putting the things on it. It’s my turn this year to put the star on the top’.
?

Hope Sunday is kind to us all today. I have a feeling there are a few with wobbles amongst us. Keep safe everyone that’s the main thing. x

Grammaretto so sorry to read your sad news
Take care x

Good Morning from another dull and grey day here in the Black Country.

Had a video call from my brother and his wife yesterday, to discuss Christmas plans. The best we could come up with was hopefully to meet up outside (weather permitting) one day for a walk. He surprise me by announcing he is on the vaccination trial. Obviously he may just be having the placebo. Not sure I could do it, so I am immensely proud of him.

Kitty I have everything crossed for your roof!

My sincerest condolences to Grammaretto so sorry to hear this

My condolences to you Gramaretto, so sorry to hear your very sad news? xx

Gramaretto, so sorry to read the sad news.
Gentle hugs and for you

So sorry to hear your sad news Grammaretto

Gelisajams, just post a Good morning, even if you feel you have no news.
We notice posters who are misssing from the GM family.and then worry! At least I do.

Good morning from Morecambe Bay where it is is a typical November day. Ted Hughes’? Poem comes to mind....no proper time of day.
I wasn’t going to post this morning as I have nothing really to say, but on reading Marydoll’s post I thought I would and send condolences to Grammaretto ?
Take care and stay safe everyone ?

Good morning All from a frosty Polmont. First of all Grammarretto my condolences to you and your family. I will be thinking of you today. My church is having a service of remembrance this afternoon to remember all those who have died this year. It will be on their YouTube channel so I will watch, chiefly because of my best friend who lost her mum earlier this year. A roast chicken crown for me for later and some pottering. I hope you all have a good day.

Dragonfly for you.

I am sorry to hear you sad news Grammaretto ?

Good morning all you early birds. And thank goodness for you. I wonder how far into the day I would have got without you before realising it is actually Sunday. So thank you Mick because I was certain it was Monday! Not that it makes any difference. Anyway the sun has risen and the sky is almost cloudless again over the Angus coast so a bonny day to look forward to - whatever it's called.

My main thing today is to video a quick birthday greeting for my great-niece's 40th birthday. She would have had a big celebration but instead her DH is putting together a video of greetings from all over the world. They know so many people that it will be feature film length when completed! I loathe myself on selfies so a bit of titivating is called for.

Dragonfly ?. A bit of pampering for you. You've done so well.

Quite a few on here seem to be "feeling our age" today. With me, it's loss of stamina that catches me out. I always enjoyed a big job, rather than small day to day tasks, but now after the first hour or so I have to sit down for a rest and after that the work time gets shorter and the rests get longer. I know, better by far than pain - but it is frustrating. Strange thing is at nearly 80 I can still do four tai chi classes in a morning! (Covid permitting).

What a lovely homecoming that was Urms and what a gem your DD is. But that flight must have been horrendous. Let's hope masks did their stuff and there are no unwanted repercussions.

I'm so glad your little GDD likes her knickers and trousers Grandmattie and her "pamper box* too. She's a dear, brave little soul.

Now I must get up and end this Sunday long lie - although now I know it is actually Sunday it doesn't seem so decadent! Rest as much as you can, all of you who need it and I hope the sun shines on everybody. Have a good day ???

Good Morning from a grey and gloomy Oxfordshire
Grammaretto sorry to hear your sad news
Nortsat hope you feel better soon
Best wishes to all
