Good Morning Wednesday

EllanVannin put your feet up and take things easy

Here’s my tree, on the decking waiting to be brought in and decorated.

Good morning from a grey, cold South Yorkshire. A complete contrast to yesterday’s lovely blue sky and sunshine.

I’ve only skimmed the posts so far but can see some of you have been busy decorating Christmas trees and putting out seasonal decorations. They all look very pretty.

mick I’m glad you are speaking to your doctor this afternoon, and hope s/he can give you something to help.

I hope your GD feels a little brighter today grandMattie. She’s doing so well after such major surgery.

Well I’m off to make a cuppa and will then come back and read properly everyone’s posts. Take care .

Good morning from North Yorkshire. It’s grey and breezy today. The washer has just beeped so the first load is done.
A strange day for me as it’s my wedding anniversary. 42 years but sadly the last 3 alone. Trying to be positive and remembering the special celebration ones like Rome (25), Paris (35) and Queensland (36).
EV take it easy, you have had a lot on your plate. You too Dragonfly. Love the throw Maw.
Hope you soon feel better Mick and all those struggling today.
I’d better go and get the washing on the line.
Stay safe everyone.

I forgot to say to Brooke that I have fond memories of Cawdor woods. A dear friend of my family built his house overlooking Loch Flemington with Cawdor Woods at the back and we had many happy visits there.

Good morning from another wet one in Morecambe Bay. I’m sure we get more rain here than any where else! Mick EV look after yourselves. Have a restful day.
I didn’t get half the things done yesterday that I intended although I was called out to plant a rose that had arrived through the post for one of my gardening people. That wasn’t in the plan! We got a tree from a local supermarket, so didn’t have to travel far. I left it to relax before I dressed it, after it had been cooped up in its net, and slowly slowly it more than filled it’s allotted space and attempted to climb up the wall. This means rearranging the furniture this morning which wasn’t in the script for today. I hope I’ve got enough decorations for it or it will look rather sad! Hopefully I’ll get some lights on the back rope barrier if it stops raining, then get the cake done.
DH is now asking me if I’m exercising this morning!
Take care and stay safe everyone ?

Good morning from a grey but dry NE.
Disturbed night for both of us, DH checking the computer at intervals through the night to try and get delivery slots, hopeless. I may have to ask sister if she can add essentials to her order.
I ordered a couple of things from Debenhams just a few hours before the announcement, I shall wait and see if they are actually delivered.
Yesterday we were expecting a delivery of disposable masks, had the text message that they were on the way by Royal mail, an hour or two later we had another text to say that they had returned the parcel to sender. Company promised to resend but what a fiasco and at a time when DH has so many medical appointments.
Today DH has a CT scan at 6.30, I think it will be an early bedtime for him as the effort of getting there and back will wipe him out.

EV, I'm sorry to hear you are unwell. Make sure you ahve a restful day. ?

Good morning all from Ann damp Stockport.
No windscreen scraping today.
My GD complained yesterday that the house was very chilly when she gets up now that she is getting up earlier.
When she was working from home she was able to roll out of bed at 8:30 and at her computer by 9.
Now she is going out at 8:30.
We extended the hours for the CH and it was too warm this morning.
We are never satisfied.
Back to Tier 3 today, which for people like me, indeed most people, means little change.
Have the best day you can everyone and a special mention to brave little Iris.

Good morning all. I did look in at 3.30 but nobody was about so I read the online paper and went back to sleep about 5. Not a good move.
Anyway I am sorry to hear you sounding “down” Mick - I hope the doctor can sort you out.
EV I am more worried about you, please, please rest up today and leave the supermarket to your D. I’d never heard the phrase about “choking a goat” but love it!
First week of a new film course this afternoon - we are discussing The Magnificent Ambersons. My opinion is that “Georgie” needed a good smack - not that I believe in corporal punishment for children but he was a brat when he was little and IMO stayed a brat !
I shall be pressing the pieces of my Icelandic wool throw for D’s Christmas present and want to have it sewn up by the weekend so that I can crochet the edging. I keep moving the pieces around and have changed my mind at least twice on the layout.
Envious of those with hair appointments, I had booked one for next week but the salon is not reopening and has gone out of business ???
Wishing you all a pleasant day.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Don’t we all Ellan!

Have a restful day Ellan and hope you feel better as the day goes on.x

Good morning All. It's dry in Polmont and looks cold but it is December after all! Mick better to get chest pains checked out. Grandmattie your dgd is doing so well. I think she's a star. EllanVannin you probably should tell your dd how you're feeling. I hope you are taking things easy today. Ashcombe what a sparkly tree! Untangling the lights is such a pain, especially when they aren't yours. Nortsat I hope you are feeling better now. Dragonfly it's easy to slip into that dark place before you know it. I hope you are feeling more like yourself today and have a good day. I hope grandmafrench is better today too after a poorly day yesterday. I have to nip to the doctor's surgery at some point today after nature has taken its course, if you see what I mean. Then I might go to the local aldi to buy some alcohol for Christmas presents. They do a nice selection of gins. Apart from that, I might make scones and I'll put mince in the slow cooker so mince, potatoes and dumplings, or as us Scots call them, doughboys, for tea. I posted all my cards yesterday so I might wrap a few presents and write the cards for the neighbours. Tomorrow is a babysitting day so I'll enjoy the quiet today. Have a good day all.

Good morning from Shropshire.

We woke up to a very cold house.I had altered the heating to come on at 4 yesterday ready for our early start but forgot to alter it back to come on at 7 today despite the large note I left myself saying adjust heating time?

I have been struggling to breath when wearing a mask.I find myself taking very deep breaths.I hadn’t thought about it being a panic attack but makes sense as I don’t go shopping very often and it is something I have to build up to as I am not comfortable in the shops but needs must.

Hope Iris has a better day grandmattie.Hopefully as the effects of the morphine and anaesthetic wear off she will start to feel more herself.What a little star???

Grammaretto?

Cherry??

Have the best day you can all.

Will do Dragonfly, you too ! It's such a stressful time of year at the best of times, without the virus joining in as well adding to it.

Lins/ Oldbutstilluseful, thankyou both. I've actually just had the crumpets so I'll pick up as the day goes. I don't intend doing much today anyway.
Trouble is, I still think I'm 20 maybe in mind, but certainly not body as I found out.

Where enter came from I don’t know !

Morning Mick and All.

A calm cold day in South Bucks.

Hope your DGD starts to feel. Enter today grandMattie. It’s a lot for a little one to cope with.

Glad you have sorted a Dr appointment quickly Mick we can’t have you in the sick bay.

We are lucky being in Tier 2 as we can go to our favourite cafe for coffee and a warmed almond croissant today, although I can’t do that with a friend, but I mustn’t moan as those of you in Tier 3 are virtually grounded.

Ellan think you need to have a restful day - look after yourself.

Grammaretto we will be right there with you on Friday

Good luck Marydoll. There were some great bargains on Debenhams website, I really hope you can manage to log on.
Sorry you were so poorly Ellanvannin. Hope you feel better today. I suspect your daughter would have preferred to know you were struggling, even with all her own troubles.

Take care of yourself Ellan, rest up today ?

Good morning from a very cold N Hants. Beautiful photo Ginny, thank you.
Hearing the sad news about Debenhams and as my bed linen is wearing very thin, I thought I’d go online and see if I could pick up some bargains. Managed to get enough to ‘see me out’ if it all arrives. No problems ordering, then I read today how their website keeps crashing due to volume of users.
Not often I get lucky like that, so today I’m feeling hopeful and grateful at the same time.
Sorry you’re feeling poorly Mick. You’ve kept so cheerful all the way through, you deserve to feel better very soon.
Your little soldier sounds very brave Grandmattie, and I hope your Covid warrior is feeling better, Urmanstongran. Love your candle bridge. I’ve got 2, but they’re still in the loft!

Baubles, normally I get blue-lighted into hospital when that happens but I rode it out instead. I don't get any chest pain or laboured breathing as I try to remain calm. I've had this malarky on and off for over 30 years now since the menopause and I put a lot of it down to anxiety as I do like to get things right.
However, apart from feeling groggy, I'm fine, thankyou.
