Good morning everyone from a quiet east coast of Fife and it is a good morning now that my dh is truly on the mend and we’ve all had a fabulous sleep. The gp who came to visit yesterday was so nice with a lovely bedside manner he even dropped my dhs prescription into the chemist himself we couldn’t ask for better service. My dh intends to get up from bed today to help my ds with chores around the house. Not too many cause he’s still to rest. My own anxieties have since greatly reduced and I’m so looking forward to each day in a calm and sensible manner. Thank you so much for the personal messages of support from some lovely folks keep safe now and enjoy each day this time in our lives will soon be history. Hugs to you all flowers

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Still dark here.
I've had a wakeful night so will be good for nothing today.
I hope the courier comes Nortsat.
I hope Iris is making good progress. Matte
Sorry for all in pain and fèeling worried or sad.

Morning everyone from a dark but dry north Wales where I’m up an supping! ☕️

Makes a change from yesterday where I slept in til 9:45 after an orrible restless night (like so many of you it seems - is it an age thing?). Then dashed out to Asda and simply chased my tail all day!

One lovely thing did happen to make up for it all - Asda had reduced the price of my local distillery’s produce from £25 down to £16? So.....as my Nain (gran) taught me, I bought “one to try, one to put by”

Ashcombe, you are the front runner in the Xmas decorations stakes and unless some young filly comes up in the last few furlongs, the Trophy ? is yours!

Will pop back later to read your bizziness but stay safe folks x

Good morning Mick and all to follow.
It is dark and dry and not cold.
Sainsbury's delivery yesterday had everything we wanted and the delivery man unpacked the crates into my shopping bags and put them into the porch, when I thanked him profusely he said he had just delivered five crates to the top of a high rise block.
I heard that the GC had done their Christmas decorations so asked for pictures of the tree, GD is very artistic and used to help me with our tree.
Today is my sister's 80th birthday, she is on her own in Germany but will probably have several WhatsApp calls today.
We have another two birthdays this week but there will be no celebrations as a family.
Last cards posted last night, DH insisted on standing in the porch until I went to the postbox and returned, he always used to do the cards for me but pain and another fall on Sunday morning has him housebound for now.

Good morning Mick and the GM team from east London where it is still very dark.

I booked a Hermes Courier to collect my Christmas parcels on Saturday... no one came. They don’t collect on Sunday, but their system told me they would collect on Monday ... no one came.
I am at a loss and quite cross about all this inconvenience and low level concern. Will someone please send me some good luck, to help me get these parcels to their destinations.

Hope Iris’s visit to the hospital goes well, Mattie.

I had lunch with a friend yesterday, in the heated booth of a pub garden. We were warm and comfortable and had a nice lunch and then the heavens opened. It was like a monsoon and we got the giggles ... we laughed and laughed at the absurdity of the situation.
Fortunately the pub has a large conservatory, which was empty, so we sat in there and had coffee.

Hope Cherry and Mary had a comfortable night. Hope MrFannyCornforth is making good progress.
Thinking of MellowYellow and of course gilly.

Have a good day all.?

Good morning, Mick, cornergran, grandMattie and company from a very calm Torbay.

Yesterday, I assured you I was posting my final photograph of Christmas decorations but then kind comments from Taichanan and others inspired me to take just one more so this is my festive front door! The items on either side of the doormat belonged to my late mother and I can’t bring myself to part with them!

Today, I hope to deliver Christmas cards from our church to one local street. Everyone in the parish receives one although, at the time of printing, it wasn’t known if services could be held so recipients are advised to check the website. We aren’t celebrating Midnight Mass at the usual time but having two services during Christmas Eve, at 6.00 pm and 9.00pm to accommodate the numbers.

Wishing everyone some relief from their pain and worries today and I hope the consultation will go well for Iris. ?

Good Morning Mick and all who follow from a wet Severnside.

Just a regular Tuesday for me and have a job to do for my brother. He came by last night and teased me a bit, I laughed which was good for my mood. We also came to a conclusion together on something so that will be even better for a situation that has caused me a great deal of past anxiety.

My sister in law then sent me a photo of the snow falling and a funny which also made me laugh.

Stay safe everyone ?

Good morning from a dry E Kent.
New CV19 variant! In Kent and SE. No wonder the numbers are shooting up here. DGS’s mum thins she’s got it. Hope not as she has two other children young than DGS, who bless him is holding the fort.
Supermarket today, yay! Collecting my new glasses from the in store shop, I hope. It is 5 weeks since my eye test and this is the longest I’ve had to wait. I’ve got complicated prescriptions but it’s never taken that long.
Iris is seeing the consultant today. Stitch removal? Let you know tomorrow what transpires.
Hope today brings relief to everyone. Stay age.

Morning Mick, morning All. Dark, cold and dry in our corner of Somerset. Had one of those nights when I’ve woken for a few minutes every hour. Think the hospital call to Mr C yesterday has been disturbing me, not bad just vague, no questions answered. Hope to get out for a walk today, clear some cobwebs. You must be pleased to finally get your haircut Mick. Take care everyone, special thoughts for those finding life hard going just now.
