Good Morning Wednesday

Good morning from a still dark E Kent. Weather iffy, probably no rain, but grumpy.
Poor you, Mic, it must have been frightening to see all those crowds.
I mentioned that DH is fixed in his habits, I managed to rattle his cage yesterday. I suggested that we should buy a sourdough loaf in a little shop, while on our morning walk. It took him about 5 minutes to reply - he always makes his own bread. Mirabile dictu, he bought one!
I Skyped GD1 yesterday, I felt she needed a bit of a confidence and attention boost. She was very chatty and told me that Iris was out ! I asked if Iris went out often, she told me it was every other day or so. Her mum sent a photo of the little girl looking most glamorous in a crushed black velvet long skirt and emerald jumper with red Christmas baubles on it! My word, she did look good!
Kent has become a lorry park, and in some places, a lavatory. Mansion isn’t far from us and as soon as the lorries start moving, we shan’t be able to leave the town due to endless caravans of lorries leaving the airport on the only, mostly single lane, road to Dover. What a shambles. Thanks Emmanuel!
Hope today brings comfort to everyone. Have a good day. Stay safe.

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it is still dark and wet.
Mick I worry about your weight loss, as a diabetic you need to keep a close eye on your weight. Look after yourself Michael❤️
Ashcombe maybe we need to hear the joke, see if we need it explained!!
This is the day we should have been as DS and DDiL for Christmas Dinner, but as it is we are to meet with them in Woolaton Park for a picnic, in the rain by the looks of it!! We are picking DGS up first. We haven’t seen them since last Christmas and DGS was a baby rather than a toddler, they are going to see a big difference in us all, I am a stone heavier for a start??
Have a good day all and stay safe.

Good morning to Mick and all the gang!

It sounds as if you’re right to be worried about the crowds, Mick, but also about your health. Perhaps you could see your GP for a check up after Christmas.

Despite arriving at Lidl as it opened at 7.00 am yesterday, I was surprised to find people queuing around the car park, a sight last seen in March when we locked down for the first time. No apparent shortages as all shelves were well stocked.

Lately, DGD and DGS2 have sent me video messages which I’ve appreciated.
Last night, DGD told me that it was only three sleeps to go but afternoon naps don’t count! Lucky she told me or I might have hung up my stocking on the wrong night!! I replied with a video of my own in which I wore a jester's hat and told a joke. DD2 texted to say they liked the hat but needed the joke explaining to them!

Take care and stay well, everyone! Two more sleeps.....! ?⛄️??
