Good Morning Saturday

Morning Mick, morning All from a dark, wet corner of Somerset. Yesterday passed quickly enough faffing and going for a long-ish walk in sunshine for once. I’ll settle to some admin this morning leaving Mr C to puzzle over his latest jigsaw. Thoughts are with Auntieflo and all managing illness, it can seem so much harder to do at the moment. Hope marydoll had a good night. Look after yourselves everyone.

Good morning from a wet but positively hot - 10° - south Cornwall!

Mick, you should get commission from Parsley Box. Mine arrives on Monday and my daughter is thinking about ordering too.

My bubble son is coming to pick up a sofa today for his home office, hopefully before Argos deliver my new chair, otherwise my micro-home will be chockablock. I'll potter with my topiary ivy on the patio meanwhile, basking in the change of temperature.

The best of days to you all.

Good morning from a wet and windy Essex by the sea. Snow is forecast but not sure we will get any being so close to the sea.
Groundhog day again, I will not be going out for a walk if its wet.
Bed changing and ironing this morning. I'm sure there will be some sport on tv for DH to watch this afternoon. I will be getting on with my latest cross Stitch.
DD1 sent me the login for the online portal so I can see what DGD4 has been doing at school. She only started reception in September and it was lovely to see the Chrismas play and party.
Have a good day and stay safe and well everyone xx

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it is still dark and raining ☔️
DH and I will be going into work for a while this morning, every day feels the same at the moment and we have lots to do.
I have started my very first dress, using a pattern and my new sewing machine, gosh it was hard getting the zip in, it still looks a bit of a mess but it is in!!
The dress is for my new DGD who is due end of April so I hope they didn’t make a mistake with the gender!!!
Have a lovey, even if it is wet, day and stay safe❤️

Good morning from a very wet north Surrey, not the heavy snow which was forecast.
Got to work yesterday and they said what are you doing here? Basically cock up their end as I had an email proving I had been booked but the person booking me hadn’t put me on the rota, no work today either! However I feel like I have dipped my toe back in, saw some of my lovely colleagues for a quick catch-up and I and am booked for Tuesday so ??I will be working then. It does mean my very large jigsaw is getting some more attention.
Thoughts to all with illness and worries at the moment

Morning all! Very wet and very dark here on the south coast 3.5 c temperature.

Only item on today's agenda is to give DH a haircut. He hasn't any hair on top so it's just a matter of using the clippers on the back, sides and his neck. Trim his eyebrows and brush up the bits and it's "next customer please!"

I have sent for the Parsley Box brochure after Mick's recommendation. DH is always up for a "proper meal" and I often only want something light so it might help to have something quick and easy in the cupboard. Will be interested to hear what you think of them Beechnut

Vaccinations seem to be gathering pace so should not be too long now before we get the call. Both in the over 75s.

Thinking of Aunty Flo and never forgetting Gillybob.

Keep safe and as positive as you can. We will get through this.

Wardrobe day this morning, put everything I haven’t worn for a year into a bag and put it in the loft. If I don’t need it in the next six months it will be chopped up to make a memories quilt. Should be good weather this afternoon so a walk will be great.

Good Morning everyone from Severnside.it’s wet and rain forecast for the day so it’s perfect to get my admin jobs done. One of them I’ve been putting off for ages.

Children just get it right don’t they Bellasnana.
Welcome to yesterday’s new posters. It’s a nice place in here apart from the weather ? I’ve remembered to get my snow shovel out just in case.

My Parsley Box arrived yesterday afternoon so I’m looking forward to trying them. Thanks Mick.

Enjoy your weekend whatever you do and stay safe ?

Good morning from a dry clear E Kent. We are forecast a dreadful day, sleet/snow most of the day. First of the season.
Had a disturbing confrontation with a man who shouted at me for not wearing a mask while queuing outside in the wind and rain. There were two of us; he was about 10 ft away from me. He got very angry when I said it was unnecessary. I’m practising saying that I’m a microbiologist and should know what I’m talking about. I AM one.
Nothing on again today. No rugby, very distressed DH.
Ash, My baby was 4 months old in winter ‘78; we’d just moved to Jersey, CI, where the drifts were 6’ height in places and were completely isolated from the mail for about a fortnight. It was unheard of, as you can imagine.
Have a gentle day y’all. Stay safe.

Good morning from a cloudy Malta. The wind last night was very noisy but all is quiet again this morning.

A friend of mine has just returned from spending six months in Canada with her son and his family. Her five year old granddaughter said to her when she was leaving, ‘There is nothing good about ‘goodbye’, it should be ‘badbye’. A very wise child.

Meeting the daughter of a lovely Gransnet friend today. She has been working in Malta for a few months but thanks to Covid this will only be the second time we have met up.

Stay safe everyone.☀️?

Good morning to you all on a wet, miserable looking morning in Torbay. ☹️

It was good to see new folk joining us yesterday and for those who identified with me over giving birth in the hard Winter of ‘78/‘79, I’ve started a thread about it, which has attracted a few contributors.

Few plans today other than a toddle to the paper shop when the rain stops! Hope you all have a relaxing weekend. Take care and stay well. ?
