Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark but its raining outside this morning here in Brackley ,I am expecting my Parsley Box meals order today via DHL .
Yesterday , picked up prescriptions and noticed that Boots like many chemists have reduced the number of people allowed in the shop to 3.
Normally this time of year , if I had not booked to see a stage show already ,I would be browsing through the leaflet which I get from the local travel trip organiser selecting the breaks etc for the year .
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning Mick and all from a mild, damp S Hants, we’ve had rain overnight. DH was going to start digging over the garden yesterday, but it’s too wet, so another day today of not doing much. Thoughts are with auntiflo and others with worries today.
Wishing you all a gentle day.

Good morning from Morecambe Bay where we are just off for a walk. It’s been wet over night but looks drying now. Will read and catch up later. Take care and stay safe everyone ?

Hear, hear grandMattie well said. x

Good Morning from a milder N. Bucks although it is very damp it is not raining at the moment.
Didn’t get round to sorting out under the stairs yesterday so May attempt it today. I decided yesterday that I would rather finish my felt flower wreath. ( see picture ).

?for auntieflo and anyone else with bad news or feeling ill

Hope you can all find a ?today.

grandMattie Tue 12-Jan-21 08:16:06

So sorry to hear your distressing news, Auntieflo. Please carry on sharing and offloading; that’s what we are best at!
Big hugs and ? for you.

Good morning from north Surrey, has rained in the night and more forecast for today
Auntieflo so sorry to hear you news. I do hope you are seen soon by your specialist with options of treatments, sounds like you DH is doing his bit to support you
Beauregard hope all goes well for DH’s op and he is soon on the mend
Yesterday I was walking round with a “funny feeling” on my leg, kept readjusting my trousers until I realised that yesterday’s knickers were stuck in the trouser leg, daft granny!
Not sure what is on my agenda for today apart from the usual dog walks and an online Pilates session. No doubt something will pop up to keep me busy
?to all with illness and worries

cornergran Tue 12-Jan-21 08:10:42

Sorry to hear your upsetting news auntieflo. Can understand you’re all over the place, why wouldn’t you be? Love and hugs from me.

Good morning everyone from South Manchester where it’s just getting light. Dry and mild. I can just about make out the ridge of the Pennines through the blanket of white cloud.

No plans today other than a walk through the park with a takeaway coffee going to our daughters. We have a spare key & I’m making them my ‘SOAP’ dish for their tea (sage, onion, apple and pork topped with mash). I even cook and chop a sweetheart cabbage to go with it. Saves busy mummy a job when she gets home with the children and I know she appreciates the help now we’ve decided any childminding is o hold for the foreseeable. Anyway it’s FT tonight!

I looked at the time in the dark and saw it was 6:15am. I can’t be the only one on here who thinks ‘oh Mick will just be opening up now’. I rolled over for another hour of sleep so a big thank you to you Mick for your reliability. You are indeed a star.
⭐️

Best wishes today Beauregard for your husband’s op. The virus adds an extra layer of anxiety I’m sure.

Hope Tuesday is kind to us all, especially you dear Auntieflo. I can only imagine your worry right now. I’m sure the specialist and his team will take very good care of you. And your lovely husband too. I hope you have a long road still to travel.

Keep safe everyone that’s the main thing. x

Good Morning everyone. Sun coming up, sky blue, still cold.
Hope today goes well for Mr Beau. Scentia, that’s the sensible way. You need someone between you and him, so unless you see the full sum by Friday, notify your insurers. He might not be insured and/or will string you along as long as he thinks he can play around/until he’s formally notified!

Good luck for good test results, NanKate. Partying? Are you kidding? You’ll be able to hear me from where you are!! ? It’s only the thought of going a bit bananas that’s keeping me going!

Steady GrandmaG don’t let exhaustion become a habit....you need to stay fit and well.

Mick, Baubles and Beech - keep looking firmly forward. The fun times will come again - for all of us. Mattie stay calm. Men at work can be a very mixed blessing.Hope all’s stable for little Iris and your newly adjusted double glazing ?is tempting you into more sewing.

Anyone due for a worrying or difficult day, up with those chins please. (Only one chin per person, of course, unless you’ve been near any scones lately? ?) Let’s find one small thing to see us through today and try to smile.

I’m off to put a huge granary loaf into the oven, then I shall go outside to crack some ice on our pool and check on the newly arrived Seed Gang (hordes of finches who have now located the food that my insect-eating birds won’t touch. )I shall admire the lovely sunshine from indoors and a day close to the fire, I think, and fingers crossed that our infection figures continue to drop. Extended outdoor trips will require ski clothing - and can I be arsed? Possibly not. ?

To Travels so hope that your health is slowly improving. Love to you. To you all, sending hugs, warm wishes and the usual instructions to stay safe. x

Good Morning all , its dzrk but seems frost free at the moment
The neighbours told me they are having a new garage built , and sure enough i hear the builders arriving
Scentia I'm sure i read that unordered parcels from Amazon is some sort of scam ?

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s thick snow again after a heavy snowstorm yesterday afternoon. Luckily we’d been out for a walk in the morning so we sat cosy and watching the snow in front of the fire for the rest of the day
Sorry to hear about your news auntieflo and hoping all goes well today for your DH beauregard
Thinking of those with worries and struggles and hope everyone finds something to enjoy today
Take care whatever the day brings ?

Ashcombe Tue 12-Jan-21 08:03:07

So sorry to hear your news, Auntieflo and I hope some news of possible treatment will be forthcoming. ??????

Gingster Tue 12-Jan-21 08:01:33

A very dark good morning from here in Essex. Something woke me at 5.30 with a start. I have no idea what it was - perhaps just dreaming. Just got back off and the little pooch started barking. I think it must be that old fox again. ?

Groomers at 9 this morning (dog not me) . They have been allowed to stay open. Pop dog into fenced off area outside, take collar and lead away with you and pay by card. No inside interaction. Seems fine!

Lovely sunset pics Ashcombe .

Good luck for your DH’s op today Beauregard.

I too miss my theatre /cinema trips and days out with friends. Had 3 cancelled last year. ?

My twin Gs’s had to go into school yesterday for an exam . They are in the first year of GCSE’s. I thought all exams were being cancelled ?.

I’m reading the book written by a Donald Trumps niece. All about how his upbringing resulted in the man we see today. No holds barred. She’s a brave lady. ?

Wishing you all a peaceful, gentle day ??

Grandmabatty Tue 12-Jan-21 07:57:39

Good morning all. There's ice on the cars so must be frosty out. Babysitting duties today. Yesterday was challenging as dgs wouldn't nap. Auntieflo I'm sorry to hear your bad news. ? It'll be a quiet day for me. We might go to the swings if they're quiet. Apart from that,who knows? Lots of rumblings from BP at grangemouth last night so I had a disturbed night and no chance of a nap for me! Have a good day all.

Viridian Tue 12-Jan-21 07:56:18

Oh Auntieflo, a big virtual hug from me.

Good morning from a misty, blowy south Cornwall. The wee beastie in my roofspace is also in my neighbour's and the rat-man is coming tomorrow so I feel happier today. A problem shared etc.

My 5 year old granddaughter made me laugh. Her dad drove her past a junkyard full of rusted railings etc and she said, 'Ooh look daddy, Nana would take all those home and make something from them.' Ha ha.

Today I'm working out how to make a scarecrow from drink cans, for the far off time when I can hack my way through the undergrowth to my allotment again. The best of days to you all.

Beauregard Tue 12-Jan-21 07:53:35

flowers for Auntieflo

I'm sorry to hear your news Auntieflo, ? and hugs for you xx

Good morning from a still dark Essex by the sea. A tad warmer though and no frost .
What shall we do today ? Well I have a pile of ironing and some admin, DH has offered to go and pick up my new contact lenses that are waiting at the opticians. I think that is the extent of our excitement for today.
My girls were Whatsapping last night about when we might all be able to meet up. I last saw them in August, I'm not sure when they last saw each other. The consensus is maybe Easter or the 1st May BH. I'm looking forward to it whenever it may be ?.
I hope your DH's operation goes ahead Beauregard.
Have the best day you can and stay safe everyone xx

Auntieflo Tue 12-Jan-21 07:44:28

Good morning Mick, Annie, and all.
It is still very dark here, the bin men have been and DH is downstairs making a cup of tea.
The reason I am so early for me, is that I had bad news from the surgery yesterday.
My MRI scan has revealed metastases on my spine, hence the pain. I suppose it is from the breast cancer I had a couple of years ago . So I am a bit all over the place at the minute.

Apologies for burdening all you lovely Good Morningers, but I know I will get help and advice from you.

So, I really don't know what I will be doing today, except being so thankful for DH, my rock.
Have a good day one and all.

Oh and my weekly script delivery came yesterday my dh called the delivery man back to give him his belated Christmas present of a bottle of plonk. The man said he had delivered around 40 scripts to people yesterday. I take my hat off to folk like him I’m unsure if he’s a volunteer or pd employee.

cornergran Tue 12-Jan-21 07:37:03

Morning Mick, morning All. Milder in our corner of Somerset with rain on the window. A tidying session is much needed here so first on today’s agenda then an equally needed walk. Our isolating-one remains symptom free, the rest of the family are well as are we. Not so bad here.

Hope your husband’s operation goes ahead successfully beauregard Insurance sounds the way to go scentia, hope your father in law remains covid free. Beautiful photos ashcombe. We’d also have been in planning mode mick, it’s missed here too.

Take care everyone.

Elizabeth1 Tue 12-Jan-21 07:31:32

Good morning everyone from a very dark and quiet east coast of Fife where I’m snuggling into a furry hot water bottle which hasn’t really got any hot water in it but the fur alone is so cosy. I’m getting a phone consultation this morning from my neurologist.He’ll be wanting to know the circumstances around my recent faint where I landed with a thump on to the bedroom floor after an early morning pit stop. Hey ho it happens. I saw and chatted to my grandson and son yesterday on FaceTime they both looked wonderful it was an online school day and everyone seemed to do just fine. Wonder what’s for tea tonight? Virtual hugs all around today keep safe.flowers

GrannyGravy13 Tue 12-Jan-21 07:19:04

Good morning Mick and all

Oh Mick I also miss the theatre and trips away, hopefully soon we shall be able to do those things. Dark and damp here in S E Essex.

Beauregard wishing your husband well for his operation.

Homeschooling the 5yr old and minding the 1 yr old again today, I am exhausted at the thought. I have to say that their school/teachers are absolutely brilliant this lockdown.

Sainsbury’s delivery later on.

Please keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️

Gagagran Tue 12-Jan-21 07:14:40

Morning all from a milder south coast. 8.6c at 6am. Much more to my liking - hate being cold.

Highlight on today's agenda is doing my click and collect order for pick up on Friday. Just hope the car starts this time. DH is going to run it in situ, to charge the battery, as advised by the mechanic when it was flat last week.

I made some scones yesterday which was a problem as I ate three. A day of abstinence today as the price which must be paid for greed!

Hope your DH's operation goes ahead and is a success Beauregrad. My DH's was postponed the day before his scheduled date of 21 December. We are still waiting for a new date and not expecting it any time soon.

Keep safe everyone. Spring cannot be far away. sunshine

grandMattie Tue 12-Jan-21 07:10:45

Nice name for a doctor’s surgery, Kate. Mine, before it was subsumed into an inferior group, was called “The Butchery”. It gave me so much pleasure!
