Good Morning Tuesday

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s another dry and cold start to the day. There’s not much I can do in the garden during the winter so I’ll probably get well wrapped up and go for a walk later.
Yesterday’s trip to the gym for a swim was really good, it was the first time I’d been back since March and it was that quiet that I had the pool all to myself - bliss! I’m going to try to go a couple of afternoons a week if I can...
GrandMattie I’m so pleased your DGD operation went so well and she’s now on the road to recovery.
Grammaretto lovely to see you posting, sending ❤️
I hope everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care whatever the day brings ?

Good morning from Oxfordshire. I haven't looked out but still dark, dry and cold.
grandMattie excellent news bless her
Grammaretto yes what a sad year 2020 has been, especially for you
DH received an email to say he had won some tickets for the Blenheim Palace Christmas lights trail next week.
Not feeling very 'Christmassy' so it will be lovely to wrap up warm and get into the spirit, probably helped with a glass of mulled wine along the way!
Hope everyone has as good a day as possible

Good morning everyone from South Manchester where I can see the Pennines quite clearly as the ridge is defined from behind by the most beautiful sunrise sky - stripes of pink, pale blue and apricot. So pretty.

1st December it is! My adult daughters, son in law and one ‘almost’ all have the ‘Liberty’ advent calendars from me to open. The joys of receiving a state pension meant I could afford to splurge on them all this year! They all deserve it - it’s been a tough year.

I binge watched ‘Chernobyl’ yesterday. What an excellent series with great acting.

So glad to hear your granddaughter’s operation went well yesterday afternoon grandMattie.

Hope Tuesday is good to us all. I must text a friend in Bristol in a bit as it’s her birthday and I was unable to send a card. Keep safe everyone that’s the main thing. x

Good morning, dark and chillier here. Good news GM and Dx, not for your car Ash, very frustrating.
Ironing today, tends to be only DH’s shirts and a job I detest, but I shall watch something while I do it. Then clear the kitchen floor, it’s being latexed tomorrow, Karndean going in on Thursday.
I think I can hear the excitement of the first Advent calendars being opened! I remember so well that anticipation.

Have a gentle day all.

Good Morning everyone and pinch punch from Severnside. It’s getting light with the apricot glow.
Good news about your granddaughter Mattie. Onward she goes.
Just a normal Tuesday for me. I did enjoy myself yesterday though with card making and cutting out Christmas things and then an hour or so in the garden in the afternoon.

Enjoy your evening Pantglas and have a good day all ?

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders where it's still dark.
Thanks so very much for your kind thoughts and wishes. It has really helped me. I daresay there will be plenty of dark days to come but now MrG's suffering is over and it really was peaceful at the end.

I am so glad your DGD's op went well Grandmatte
It's December already. That's 2020 nearly done with all its sadnesses.

Latest. Iris had trouble getting comfy, but slept all night with the help of her “magic morphine button”. I’m impressed that they trust children with them...

Good morning from Essex by the sea where it is too dark to see what the weather is doing today. I believe it will be bright but cold.
Good new to hear that all went well for your DGD Mattie. Onwards and upwards from now on ?.
We are taking our trusty flask of coffee to a local country park this morning. We've not been there before so hoping for a nice brisk walk.
This afternoon will be spent sewing and catching up with tv programmes that I like and DH doesn't.
Have a pleasant Tuesday night and stay safe everyone xx

Dwmx I hope the stockings do the job for your DH. X

Good morning to all this morning from north Surrey.
So glad to hear operation went well GrandMattie and you GD is recovering well.
Thank you to all re my DH. He saw the nurse who has measured him for full length stockings and prescribed a further week of antibiotics as there is still signs of infection. She listened to his concerns and will refer him to the vascular team. He feels much relieved for this.
I am working an early today so must get on. Will put my Christmas tree up this evening.
Wishing all a good day

Crossed posts grandMattie. What good news. Delighted for you all Your granddaughter is a tough little girl, hope she stays comfortable today.

Good morning Mick and Ashcombe and followers from a dry north Wales- LauraNorder sent over all her rain yesterday, the Island must be bone dry!

How irritating for you this car contretemps Ashcombe! You’ll be itching to trot to France ASAP!

DH and I are out this evening for a meal at the oldest inn in Wales which has an offer of dinner bed and breakfast for £99 in an attempt to stay alive! Friends availed themselves of the opportunity to celebrate their anniversary last week and reckoned it was brilliant. We go into ‘dry’ lockdown on Friday with a curfew of 6pm so places like this will really suffer.

Kind thoughts to Grammaretto and GrandMattie and families, and to all going through the mill at the moment, here on this lovely thread know that we care x

Morning Mick, morning All from our dark, dry, chilly corner of Somerset. I’ll be steam cleaning curtains and removing some dust today. The domestic goddess bug has struck. Cards are ready to post as is a small parcel so will head out with them at some point. Goodness, what a frustrating process Ashcombe, hope you can extract a date soon. Your family and granddaughter are very much on my mind grandMattie. Special thoughts for grammaretto and all with sadness or worries of any kind. Take care everyone.

Good Morning Michael from East Staffordshire where it is still dark and feels mildish!
Today I will be at work this morning and then after delivering what I have made I will be going to the cemetery to visit my niece’s grave, I cannot believe it is 28 years ago today that we lost her, she would be 38 now and I must say my sister, her mummy doesn’t look much older than that herself❤️
I have been buying more rubbish on EBay. I have bought some vintage games that can be played by just 2 people like Mastermind and Boggle. As DH and I will be spending a lot of time, just me and him and no work I thought we may need something to amuse us.
I hope your DGD is ok Grandmattie
Now, my GM friends I want you to have the best day you possibly can today and smile as much as you can.
Today, I will be mainly singing Christmas Songs.xx

Good morning from dark chilly E Kent. White rabbits!
The full moon was like a beacon when I got up an hour ago.
May I thank everyone who sent me and my family their good wishes for my DGD’s operation, especially those who PMd me.
The operation was to rebuild her leg and took 4+ hours. It went well and Iris came out of anaesthetic easily. Within the hour, she was playing with her new Lego which her grandma got her and eating biscuits! She is being remarkably resilient. I suspect today might be different when the painkillers wear off.
I’ll keep you updated as I get news.
I hope today brings nothing but good news and happiness however fleeting to everyone. ❤️

Good morning one and all on another quiet, chilly morning in Torbay.

Progress is being made with my car repair as yesterday the company rang me to say that the estimate has been approved and the parts are on order. When pressed for a completion date, the caller was less forthcoming, with Covid to blame for shortages. So no firm date for travel to France just yet.

I’m spending today with my “bubble” friend who lives further round the bay in Churston. Like Mick, all my postal cards are now winging their way to far flung parts of the U.K. and beyond!

I hope all is well with you and yours and special thoughts for Gramarretto and grandMattie’s brave little DGD.
