Good morning everyone from South Manchester where it’s just getting light. Blotches of pale blue sky in between dark grey clouds and it’s raining here. Not heavy yet.

I’m off to see my lovely GP with my appointment just after 9am. No car of course as it’s with our Yorkshire lass! It will only take me 15 minutes to walk there - the surgery actually backs on to the garden of our Covid warrior. If the rain holds off I’ll get a takeaway coffee from Costa downstairs and walk in. Otherwise I shall ring for a taxi.

I’ve got a Christmas card and a box of biscuits for the staff. They especially deserve them this year. We are so fortunate to be patients at this wonderful surgery. Even the receptionists are kind and helpful - none there who went to the Miss Piggy School of Charm!

The call out to repair the tumble drier function on our W/D is today as our quarantine is over so that’s good.

Hope Monday is kind to us all. Elizabeth1 you’ve got your days muddled up. It must be the excitement of Christmas! Keep safe everyone that’s the main thing. x

Good morning all. It looks like being a nice day today here in Derbyshire, with a rare appearance from the ?

I've got to go out first light to feed the horses. It's DGS1's 7th birthday today so DD wants to spend more time with him before work/school and has asked me to cover for her again.

I finally managed to make my face masks yesterday, three in all, so I'm well equipped for a few more weeks.

Later a trip out to the supermarket for a few things.

Grammaretto so sorry to hear about your loss. What a difficult time you and your family are having flowers

Take care everyone.

Congratulations on your negative result Ashcombe!

Good morning Mick and all his followers.
I am awake in time to see one of the apricot sunrises that are mentioned so often! The forecast is for a drier day, so hoping to finish tidying up outside. It will be good to get some fresh air after so much rain.
Condolences to Grammaretto & Ann.
I hope the day is kind to everyone.

Good morning, Mick and all who visit here. Wet overnight but now dry and calm in Torbay.

Dwmxwg, my test result is already back and it’s negative! ? The whole process was well organised and didn’t take long and the result has come through in less than 19 hours! Something to cheer up a Monday morning.

My thoughts are with Grammaretto and annsixty as they deal with their sadness, made more poignant by the time of year.

Mick: I’ve served sprouts with chopped up bacon which went well and back in the day it stopped by son from feeding his token sprout to the long suffering dog, who “benefitted” from various unwanted offerings, including vitamin tablets with iron, bought by mistake by me. Apparently, the iron made them taste vile but our dog did not have a discerning palate! One day, I found her trying to retrieve something from under the suite and found several crusts! Happy days!

Here’s the last photo (I promise) of my Christmas decorations! The flowers on the left were from my grandson in Australia (via Bunches)

Wishing you all as good a week as possible, whatever your circumstances. Good luck, Bellasnana with the Internet banking - it is a brilliant way to keep track of things.

Good morning from Malta where the temp is expected to reach 21°C. Won’t be needing a sweater today.

Thank you to those of you who were so kind in commiserating with my plight yesterday. I’m sorry it has happened to some of you, it’s a dreadful feeling. I am still shaken and very down.

It pales into insignificance with the sad news from annsixty and Grammaretto. Such sadness for them. This has been such a dreadful year for so many.

I’m off to the bank this morning to ask for help (again) on how to do internet banking. They talked me through it some time ago but I have forgotten how to access it.

Take care everyone and keep safe. Hoping the week starts well for you.☀️

Mickwhere’s our good morning thread Gone today?[Tuesday] do you not have one every day? I do so enjoy ranting a bit on it and listening to others spell out their days activities. confused

Good morning Mick and all to come. Dry at the moment her in north Surrey but rained most of yesterday.
I really enjoyed my empty, just me and the dog, I must encourage DH to get out more often.
Will be visiting mum and dad today, will be so good to see them again and do my bit with sisters in sharing the care.
Otherwise dog walk and Pilates, not much else planned.
Mick I do enjoy sprouts but don’t think deep fried in batter would do it for me..
Hope all those waiting for COVID results get a negative.
Gramaretto my condolences to you and your family, what a very sad time you are all going through, there are no words ?
Stay safe to all

Good Morning Everyone,
its dark ,and looks like its been wet in the night here in Brackley.
Today , housework , pick up my prescriptions from chemist and watch TV .
Yesterday morning I watched Saturday Kitchen rerun on Sundays, anyway there was something they did on the programme which caught my eye.
Battered Brussel sprouts deep fried , I have done them years ago just deep frying them , but not battered its a pity it has not caught on with Fish & Chip shops.
Take Care,
Mick
