Good Morning Thursday

Ash, I have had headaches from my eyes since year dot. I’m used to them and just carry on as far as I can, But this latest batch has been worse... thank you for your compliments on my sewing. Was brought up with no readymade clothes, so, as they say “needs must”...

Good morning all, it’s dark in S Hants, but we are promised sun, at least this morning.
grandMattie your eyes deserve new glasses after your magnificent sewing exploits! Beechnut I have lots of delivery green bin rubbish....yes thank you, extremely pleased with the kitchen, I’ve never been so house proud!
I really must throw a colour on my hair, the grey is making a bid for dominance, but I’m impatient, sitting about in the not a lot for 25 minutes while it takes. Have a day of unexpected kindness people.

Good morning all from a quiet Torbay!

Your sewing skills continue to impress, grandMattie, not least with the great results achieved without the benefit of an up to date prescription in your spectacles! So glad the new ones are working well.

Dreams are mysterious, aren’t they, Beechnut, especially when as vivid as yours was!

A lovely tree, Lins, and how wonderful to have such a treasured decoration for it! Yes, it’s hard making these decisions about Christmas and it is of little comfort to know that other Gransnetters are in a similar position.

Yesterday, I called into a bank en route to “Move It or Lose It” and was about to use (what I thought was) the cash machine, when I spotted a bank card in the slot, left by the previous user. Luckily, the owner was still on the premises and was most grateful to me. The member of staff hovering nearby was far less polite when I asked if the machine issued cash as the sign above it said: “Cash and Cheque Deposits”. She directed me outside for the location of their cash machine and couldn’t have cared less when I remarked that I preferred cash machines that were inside banks. This particular branch has a huge empty floor space so installation of a machine wouldn’t be difficult. Generally, I obtain cash back at Lidl but I haven’t visited lately.

Wishing everyone as good a day as possible. Take care!

Good morning Mick and all. A sleepless night here in Chez Lins. With a heavy heart we had already decided not to see our son, his partner and the lovely four year old for Christmas, but the latest change in the rules in Wales have made everything seem very stark indeed. We took wreaths to family graves yesterday afternoon, it was way out in the countryside and the air was cold and clean.
So far our puppy has left the Christmas tree alone, amazingly. On the tree is a precious triangular nativity decoration that belonged to my grandparents, it dates from the pre First World War period and has the price in pencil on the back - 1/9.
Hope all went as well as it could for Beauregard and her family yesterday. Best wishes for Doodle and her husband.
Thinking of all those with troubles and pain ?
Stay safe everyone.

Hi Sar53 would like to see Alex win as his restaurant is in Essex but I think Santos (sp?) will probably win.

Good morning from Essex by the sea, it's still dark outside so not sure what the weather will be like today.
We stayed up to watch Masterchef on I Player last night as we had been watching football on Amazon Prime. 1st half my team, second half DH's team. Who do you want to win ??? (Masterchef that is).
No plans today, I may ice the Christmas cake and I have a few more presents to wrap.
Enjoy Thursday and stay safe everyone xx

Good morning. Cold, dark morning here in north Surrey
Waiting for the boys to wake up. They were so lovely last night, went to bed usual time but crept back out for a cuddle with me. I do feel so lucky to have that magical time with them. Last day at school today and an early finish so hope to get the last of the presents this morning before pick up. DD has sent me a list of advent challenges set by their Beavers/Cubs group so will try and get some of them done over next couple of days.
Thoughts to all those with illness and troubles today ? Stay safe

They look very smart Matttie.

Good Morning everyone from Severnside. Sunshine is forecast for this morning.

I’ll put the stamps on my cards and take them to the postbox and then go and see if I can find something to go in my green waste bin for tomorrow.

A night of weird dreams finishing with mum yelling and going berserk at me because I was eating a piece of potato that I was slicing to go on top of a lasagne. (I don’t put potatoes on lasagne in real life?)

Are you pleased with your new kitchen Jax?

Wondering about another day tier wise so take care and stay safe all ?

Good morning Mick and all

Still dark here in S E Essex

Have been awake since 5am so I shall be exhausted by this afternoon, no chance for a nap as I have hairdressers appointment at 4pm, full works!!!!

Hope everyone is feeling ok today?

Keep safe and well folks ???

Forgot. 6 pairs of knickers and one sophisticated par of denim and tiger stripe trousers.

Good morning from a dark but promising E Kent. We are forecast lovely sunshine today!
The CV19 news is not promising from here;Swale north of us has the highest rate of infection in the country and it’s seeping south. Dover has a very high rate too... ?
I finally received my new specs yesterday. I a rejuvenated. I hadn’t realised how bad the previous ones were, only two years or less old! No headache at all yesterday! I am delighted. So good...
Today, I’m queuing at the PO posting the last of the knickers and trousers to Iris. Also getting some shopping for friend in residential home, ready for dropping off tomorrow, together with her Christmas presents.
Have a lovely day, enjoy the sun if you have any, be kind to yourselves. Stay safe. X
