Good Morning. No fog this morning luckily. I had to be at DD2s by 7 am. as she has furniture being delivered between 7 and 10. Sod’s law it is the one day that she had to go into work rather than working from home.

I WILL finish the Christmas cards today.
Sausage rolls to make and pop in the freezer.
Gifts to sort and wrap.
Hope you all find a ?today.

Good morning, I haven’t looked out yet but will take kitty’s word for it.

Went into town to get my hair done yesterday and it was very busy. I found it so stressful. They looked after me well at the hairdressers though. Afterwards went to the farm shop - I love their eggs!

So pleased to hear Iris is settling down. It will be a long haul.

How are you Gilly ? Your friends miss you.

Good morning all from a soggy North Leicestershire.

Anyone who is interested might like to know that the hall roof still leaks - back to the drawing board!!

Our lovely cleaner will be here this morning - it's an upstairs week so I will iron in the kitchen. This afternoon I must finish my online shop and finish up Christmas shopping.

Zoom course this evening. This group are much more lively than the last.

Mick, its miserable living under these restrictions but we need to stay strong until things get better.

Just read my post..didn't mean to sound rude saying 'show tree' I meant 'department store' type of tree. Oh dear when in a hole stop digging!!

Good morning from a cold and dark Oxfordshire
Work soon but looking forward to putting the Christmas tree up later.
I love all the photos of all your trees etc.
Our tree is almost like a family history lesson and full of memories.
We have bought a tree decoration on every holiday we have been on, and the many day trips etc, plus handmade decs by the children and grandchildren and baubles given to me by various family.
It is definitely not a 'show' tree but we love it
Thinking of all with struggles and hoping everyone has a good daysmile

Good morning Mick and all GMs. Not peeped out yet but another cold one here in north Surrey, thermals on for outdoor PT session.
GrandMattie I wondered if there are forums for parents and children who can share their experiences. It always helps to talk to people who can truly empathise.
Ashcombe your window decoration is beautiful, I know if I attempted anything like that it would just look a mess, I do not have an ounce of artistic flair in me.
Jaxjacky thank you for the recommendation for foot warmers, I have ordered some online.
Can hear one of DGS is up and about so will get them sorted before I go off for training.
Have a huge pile of ironing which DD has left for me (I know she does appreciate my help)!
This afternoon I am having my hair cut and coloured, yippee, been too long.
Wishing all a good day today

Good morning.Mick and all his followers.
Cold and dry here, although it’s still dark. At least the fog has lifted.
The DGC slept here last night as both parents were on a night shift. I sleep very lightly when they are here so there may have to be a nap this afternoon!
After we drop them at school, we are going into town. It will be DH’s first visit since March and only my second.
I hope the day is kind to everyone.

Morning Mick and All.

Dark and very chilly I suspect in South Bucks.

So pleased little Iris is settling down. A positive end result is what you are all working towards. I think your side opening knickers could be all the rage Grandmattie in 2021. Are you going into major production?

Finishing up bits and pieces towards Christmas today. I haven’t started any packing of gifts yet, that’s my family job.

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it is still dark and feels cold.
Mick it is certainly going to be a quiet strange Christmas for us all, let’s hope for a brighter 2021❤️
Work day for me today then tonight I am going to sort the mountain of boys clothes my DD let me have yesterday. I will put some online snd give some other bits to the refuge. That little boy (DGS) had more outfits than there were days, what a mountain of outfits there is, she has kept all the unisex ones that will be ok for a girl!!
Today I am booked in at the tip to take some stools from the factory so will have to do that at 10am.
Shopping tonight as we have no food, I do dislike food shopping, always have though so nothing to do with Covid.
To all my GM friends, do look after yourselves and have the best day you can.

Good morning from a dark, dank EKent. Although we get very little rain here, it always seem on the point of a deluge.
Mick, about your solitary Christmas, but it seems that most people are keeping safe rather than risk catching the dreaded bug, vaccine notwithstanding.
Thad a text conversation with DD yesterday. She sounded more upbeat. Things seem to be settling down, everyone getting used to the situation.
Thank you for all your kind advice, I shall offer some when rather situation presents itself.
FYI, yes Iris is 8 years old. She broke her leg when she was 7 months old, has been in plaster or splints since so the condition is ongoing. DGD1 is 10. Family is vegetarian and the children are very fussy eaters... other grandpa is a GP so am wary of offering advice.
Be kind to yourselves today, rest/nap as and when, just sit if you feel like it, the dust will wait. Hope today is pain-free, worry-free, struggle-free. Stay safe. X

Good Morning everyone from Severnside. Another start to the day like yesterday, damp and dark.

Just a finishing up and pottering day for me. I’m enjoying all the Christmas tree and decorations that good morningers are posting. Lots of lights up in my road now.

Best wishes to all with worries and have the best day you can ?

Good Morning Everyone,
I have woken to yet a dark and dry morning , and maybe some fog .
Today , I plan I small shop and hopefully get another delivery from Parsley Box .
Feeling a little better , but its avoiding meeting others at close quarters, which I try to avoid ,and my other problem is I have panicked just lately , say in a que ,and experiencing cold conditions outside to to return to my nice warmed flat which feels cosy with the heating on.
I will also be at home for Christmas , I normally go to sister and brother in law in Shropshire .
With current situation , they had planned to go to my niece in Canada, but due to lockdowns over there its off, but we could get together but coronavirus rules state no stopovers , although with my brother it would 4 .
Add to the fact you cannot go to the pub and have a social drink unless you have a meal which restricts it again.
Take Care ,
Mick
