Good morning Mick and the GM team from east London, where it is still dark.

The lovely man who does the heavy work in our garden did a good job yesterday. He did lots of clearing and pruning.
Today there is some border work to do, some weeding and a pressure wash at the front and the back.

I wasn’t too well yesterday and don’t feel great this morning. I am thinking of those facing challenges today.
Grammaretto is in my thoughts.?

Have a good day all.

Morning Mick, morning All. Looks dark and damp outside although as far as I can tell it’s not raining in our corner of Somerset. No plans at all for today, just see how it goes. Will try for a walk once the streets are aired as my Mum used to say. She wasn’t an early bird, neither am I, although usually awake early it’s a while before I stir. Missed your post yesterday Ashcombe, hope it all works out. Cards are all written here, will post at the end of the week. Put a small, pre-lit birch tree and some other lights in our conservatory yesterday, enjoyed the grand switch on, really cheered me seeing them. Take care everyone. Hope there is some brightness in Sunday for you all.

Good morning everyone from Severnside. It’s dark and damp. I’ve got a chamberpot of red bush this morning.

It’s a slow cooker beef meal for me as I plod on with some card making and letter writing. I hope to go outside and have a mooch in the garden as it’s green waste collection this week.
I had a nice chat with my cousin yesterday by phone. She hasn’t got anything in the way of computering.

I hope you all have a good day with not to many worries ?

I meant to thank you lovely people the many thoughtful messages of support which people were kind enough to post yesterday regarding my plans to travel to France for Christmas.

Good morning from a cold, dry north Surrey. Awaiting the first cup of tea in my bed.
It is so lovely to see the Christmas lights up Mick. Drove through next village on my way to work, residents were out house decorating and putting up tree in a public area. When I drove home last night it all looked very Christmassy and cheery which brightened my drive home.
DGS1 managed very well with his run and was feeling very pleased with himself.
It has been a busy week for me and I was very tired when I got home last night, thankfully I have slept fairly well. DH slept well too which is a blessing as his leg is still very painful. He has an appointment with the nurse for stocking measurement tomorrow so hope if pain is still bad she will get dr to see him again.
I will try to have a quiet morning but I am not very good at that, shall do some gentle Pilates. Work again this afternoon
Wishing all a peaceful Sunday and kind thoughts to all in pain and with worries

Good morning to Mick, Pantglas2, grandMattie and the rest of the gang!

Another still and mild day in Torbay. It was quite pleasant when I went for a short walk yesterday which included a brief time in my church, which is open for any who wish to have time to sit quietly. By next Sunday, we should be able to have a service again, although still without singing and with masks being compulsory.

I’ve already written most of my Christmas cards and am now writing some on behalf of DH as cards are not widely sold in France and not at all in their current lockdown. The supermarkets have been open strictly for food only with other goods cordoned off. That was due to end yesterday, I believe. I don’t mind but it’s difficult choosing cards to send to people I’ve never met, other than those who attended our wedding.

I hope those with pain of any kind gain relief and we all have a pleasant “day of rest”!

I envy you all, havent done a thing all day - its 41 degrees here in Sydney and we are just waiting for a cool change to blow through. Enjoy the day.

Sorr, didn’t read your post properly, Panr. Champerpot still around, as is my bucket!

Good morning from a darkE Kent.
Just woken up, I can’t remember the last time I woke up and came downstairs after 0500!?
I had a WI zoom patchwork class yesterday. I feel a bit “spend, spend, spend “ at the moment, what with the two DGDs and these classes, etc. I’ve booked myself in for another two classes. Not expensive at £5 each and keep me out of mischief...
Pant, do you no longer have your chamber pot theses days? Is it broken? Old age isn’t for sissies, we lose our faculties one by one. Grrr.
Nothing on again today, just DD’s virtual church and DH has asked for sprouts tonight. I have to think of something to go with them.
Hope all you lovely people have a good day; the sad, the unhappy, those in pain, and everyone is included! ?

Morning Mick and all to come from a dry north Wales where I’m up again at sparrowfart with the chamberpot ☕️ contemplating.....

A peaceful Sunday is planned with a roast chicken dinner this evening and I might make a bread and butter pudding with some leftover tea cakes.

I have a seed pearl necklace to thread so will have a go although it may be too fiddly for my not-so-nimble-any-more fingers. Fine motor skills disappearing along with most other things these days?

Have a good day folks ?

Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark, dry and cold here in Brackley this morning.
Early evening late afternoon I walked across to get my usual Saturday Chinese Take Away ,and saw the towns Xmas display, was switched on.
Yesterday, I also received my first xmas card, which will prompt me to get my list ready and start , I have a niece in Canada and she will be my first one, as I will have to use post office to weigh etc before sent .
Take Care,
Mick
