Good Morning Thursday

Good morning Mick and all

Still dark here in S E Essex, might pop to the farm shop this morning as I am up to date with all my jobs, including doing the handwashing .

Keep safe and well folks ??

Good morning Mick and all his followers.
Suffolk is grey but dry this morning. We shall wrap up and do some tidying up in the garden.
Still have a Christmas pud to make. Waiting on DL to bring eggs - she is vegan but will eat the eggs from her own ducks and chickens.
I hope today is kind to everyone.

Good morning from the NE where it is dry.
Burglar alarm and CCTV maintenance this morning, any time from 8am, no problem I have been up since 5.30am.
Telephone appointment with my consultant yesterday afternoon, was waiting when the phone rang but it was DH's accountant. I lost my temper and told DH to get him off the line. Consultant rang my mobile seconds later, house phone was engaged.
Consultant was happy with my progress and is discharging me back into the care of the GP. Five years and I have always seen the main man, excellent surgeon with a lovely manner.
Giving up hope of parcels being delivered, some are two weeks and counting.

Good morning from Malta where it looks as if we might be in for some showers today.

I’ve seen the ads for Parsley Box, Mick, do you find them good? Very convenient if so as cooking for one can be a bit of a chore.

Had a lovely virtual chat with my DGD yesterday. She was up early ( Florida is 6 hrs behind Malta time wise), and when it was time for her online school to begin she showed me all her little classmates sitting at their computers, and her teacher in the actual classroom. What a strange world for them, they’ve missed out on so much this year. DGD is quite lonely being an only child she misses interaction with her friends.

No plans today until this evening when the vet is coming to see Buzz. His itching is non stop so she’s going to try giving him a weekly injection. More expense.☹️

My son must have a day off today because the smell of bacon is permeating the house. As a non meat eater it turns my stomach.?

Wishing everyone the best day possible. Take care all.☀️

Good morning all. North Leicestershire is quite chilly but dry!

Card delivery round the village this morning and a Sainsbury"s delivery this afternoon.

Last night's zoom session with Carers went well but i do find it tiring and didnt sleep well.

I hope Iris has a good day.

Love to gilly if she is around.

Good morning from Derbyshire. Cloudy but dry today.

Early shop this morning. I dumbfounded DH by also going yesterday afternoon. How can anyone want to go shopping two days running?? To make Christmas happen, I explained.

Later we're trying a new recipe for 5 spice pork fillet in the slow cooker. It's our day to collect the boys from school so it will be ready for when we get home.

Glad to hear Iris is doing a little better now. So many challenges for her to face.

Hope everyone is feeling well today.

Morning all, dark, milder, dry I think in S Hants. I’m not good in the mornings and been up 25 mins as DH up for work, I’m out of the habit of staying in bed on my own, I’d be even groggily if I dozed back off.
Man coming to fit new blinds, it’ll be like chess as I move into a different room while he fits in two rooms, might sit in my car!
Have a reasonable day all.

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it is still dark and feels mild.
Normal work day today, we are still busy which is good.
I like it when it is drier and milder as I don’t have as much pain from my arthritis, (something we used to laugh at my mum for when she said it was the weather that made her worse, whose laughing now!!!)
I made a start on ironing and sorting the mountain of clothes from DGS but I only got to the 3 - 6 month lot!
I thought I should ask if any of my GM friends knew of someone who would appreciate, and really needed a bag of boys clothes I have them from birth to 12 months. Just PM me if you want me to donate a bag to someone who could do with some.
Take care everyone and stay safe❤️

Morning Mick, morning All from a dark, cold, dry corner of Somerset. Another quiet day ahead here, Mr C is on a jigsaw mission (again!), I should continue with the tech challenges and try to find out just what has happened with our energy supplier swap. We seem to be in limbo. It sounds as if the reality of recovery is registering with Iris now grandMattie. A trip to physio doesn’t sound too exciting for her if very necessary. I’m sure her parents will get full marks for following instructions, The family drive by visits can be hard dwmxwg. We went on one yesterday to drop off some Christmas outside lights, A distant wave just isn’t the same, found it quite upsetting. Take care everyone, hope there’s some brightness for us all.

Good Morning everyone from Severnside. Much the same weather wise this morning.

I’ve just made my first cuppa and while waiting for it to brew thought I’d put on a load of washing. There was just an eggcup full of powder in the box so that plan went out the window. I didn’t fancy going outside into the garage to get a new box yet.

I have a few errands to run this morning and maybe a catch up with my friend later. I kept missing her calls yesterday.

Have a good day all and the troupers keep trouping on ?

? keep safe and have a gentle day!

Good morning from E Kent. Usual dank grey winter weather I think.
Only another few days before the winter solstice, then the days will lengthen again. Yippee ?
Last Spanish class for the term today. Most of the usual suspects didn’t join this year because of Zoom l. I have to confess I find it hard to engage and don’t enjoy the classes much. I carry on because it is supposed to keep my brain plastic.
Iris is settling down, now taking her meds according to text from her mum. What is distressing her now is that she has realised how much she’s missing stuck at home and finds big sister’s bouncing joyous return from school too much to cope with. I think it’s her first hospital physio today. I expect they will check the extent to which DD has been following the printed list of daily adjustments to the bolts and screws.
I’m making another two pairs of trousers today. I sent their Christmas presents yesterday; there was a 40 minute queue mostly outside in the cold.?
Ke safe and have a gent day, everyone. X

Good morning Mick and all to come. Dry and cold her in north Surrey.
I will be doing a drive by visit to mum and dad this morning. Drop off some cards and goodies as it is their 66th wedding anniversary tomorrow. Sad I can’t “see them properly” but I know my sisters are doing their bit. Mum has another UTI and her memory is getting worse, has been deteriorating ever since Covid started.
I have promised the boys pancakes for breakfast, seems to have become a weekly treat for them. They are off to butlins with DD for the weekend. She has been so looking forward to it but worried that it wouldn’t happen. She works hard as a single mum so I am very happy that they will be going.
Take care everyone and have a good day

Morning Mick and all who follow - I’m up at sparrowfart as we have to trot to Argos in Mold to pick up new electric fire as our nearest ones didn’t have any!

Hope things are improving for little Iris, GrandMattie, what a brave little soul she is ?.

Will pop back later to read about all your doings x
