Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark, but its dry and cold outside this morning here in Brackley.
Yesterday, I did get the bus to Bicester and spent an hour there with shops etc, also my cafe at the back of the bakery shop was busy so I did not bother , part of my routine gone for the day.
Latter I did an online order for some German beers , dark, and a Christmassy beer as well , plus some German style ready meals .
Today, will have a quiet day , with a small shop later , prepare lunch as well , got some steaks will do in frying pan ,and yesterday brought some Roasties which I have to do in the Oven for 1 hour ,plus with some veg will split over 2 days .
Take Care,
Mick

Try again (lost 1st try).
Good morning all from miserable Harrogate! I couldn't find yesterdays blog and was almost bereft!!

Don't know if you will be able to make head or tail or above. It was in yesterday's Daily Express (I think) about my DDs crusade to normalise Down Syndrome?

Let me know if you succeed, if not I might try and copy the whole article??

Hope all are as well as they can be.

Gwen if you copy the Whole link it will work.

However, part of the link in your post is not highlighted blue, so it doesn't work.

This should take you right to the article folks.

Good morning all from the Angus coast where - wait for it - the sun almost shone a few minutes ago! A very brief light in our darkness.
As expected with every household doing it's shopping on line, delivery of parcels is becoming, shall we say, difficult. I do feel for the over-worked delivery men, but they'd make their lives easier if they read the delivery instructions! Yesterday evening I got an email saying that my parcel, for which I have to sign and prove I''m over 18 (!), couldn't be delivered because I wasn't there. If he'd come round to the back as instructed he'd have seen that I was very much there - all lights blazing and no curtains closed! ?. Better luck today, but heaven help me if I'm in the loo or the shower!
That of course pales into insignificance beside your problem with the hacker Bellasnana. It's reassuring to know that your money will be returned, but it's still a shock. The Banks are very good the way they flag up out-of-the-norm spending activity and act immediately. Happy memories of your friend today ?
I hope your test is clear Ashcombe and your cough clears up quickly.
I'm not surprised you're feeling annoyed with your vicar Grandmattie! Very remiss of him in difficult times like these.
Your German beers and German ready meals sound good Mick and I'm sure they'll be enjoyed ?
So glad you had such a lovely reunion with your family Urms. Treasured memories in the making.
Lovely parcels Baubles.
Now I must get going and get into gear before the hoped-for parcel delivery! Have the best day possible everybody, free from pain and worries. Remember, tomorrow this will be yesterday! ???

Good morning Mick and all from Wet Withers in Lancashire. I hope you enjoy your steak Mick, one of my favourites.
I’m on a course of antibiotics for my cystitis (certainly not honeymoon disease in my case?) and was most impressed by the quick service from the surgery. I thought I would have to take a sample etc etc but the doc phoned the chemist and it happened in a flash.
My son is here doing bits of diy which is nice and has cooked two excellent meals so have been waited on.
I am not pleased with my two year old central heating combi system as every other day it seems, the pressure drops and the heating goes off, which means a fiddle with knobs.
Stood a small tree on a table yesterday and threw things at it, so that’s my tree done?.
Have a good day everyone and thoughts to the troubled.

Good morning, just from a wet and grey north of Scotland, online church has just finished, having run over considerably, now that we are used to the online chat afterwards. Have the best day you can.

Marydoll Sun 13-Dec-20 11:53:46

hollysteers, just a thought. If pressure keeps dropping so frequently, it could be a sign of a leak somewhere.

Marydoll Sun 13-Dec-20 11:57:50

I have just read that Grammaretto's Father in law died this morning, only a few weeks after her husband.
Sad, sad times for her family. ?

Gwenisgreat1 Sun 13-Dec-20 11:59:44

Typical, the article won't copy and paste!!! But if you want to 'google' it on the Daily Express the heading is:
The only thing he suffers from is 'Ignorance"
Mum urges views on Down Syndrome to change.

It's a lovely article with super photographs or my little mischievous GS (and DD)

Roses Sun 13-Dec-20 12:45:20

Ansixty that is such sad news that poor little family

Grammeretto so sad for you

GrannyGravy13 Sun 13-Dec-20 12:56:35

Wonderful positive journalism Gwenisgreat1 what a cutie your GS is.

Thinking of Grammaretto and her family flowers

GrannyGravy13 Sun 13-Dec-20 12:57:25

Annsixty so young and with little ones, so sad flowers

Marydoll Sun 13-Dec-20 12:58:45

Gwen, I have already posted the link straight to the article.

Stilllearning Sun 13-Dec-20 13:34:59

Really good article Gwenisgreat and what a lovely boy Elijah is, you must be so proud of them both.
Good luck to your daughter and thanks for sorting the link Marydoll

Susan56 Sun 13-Dec-20 13:45:49

Grammaretto?

Blossoming Sun 13-Dec-20 13:46:26

Good afternoon all. We had planned a coastal walk today but there is the most awful wind and rain storm here. I’m not sure I could stay upright! So now back home enjoying tea and a bacon roll apiece. So pleased to have finished all the cards and present wrapping, a trip to the post office tomorrow morning will see it all safely on its way.

CherryCezzy Sun 13-Dec-20 14:25:39

Grammaretto ?, my heart goes out to you, such a very difficult time for you, your MiL and the rest of your family x
My own mother died on this date 18 years ago, know that I am thinking of you too.

Thank you for being so kind and thoughtful to let the rest of the goodmorningers know Marydoll.

Greyduster Sun 13-Dec-20 14:31:10

So much sadness for you, grammaretto. Please accept my condolences.?

We were spared the mud fest this morning - the match was off?.

gillgran Sun 13-Dec-20 14:52:43

Condolences for you, grammaretto, what a year you have had.
Take Care flowers

Gwenisgreat1 Sun 13-Dec-20 14:53:48
