Good Morning Sunday

Good morning from a dry and bright Shropshire.

Like Grandmafrench we have decided to leave all jobs that need doing until tomorrow.Planning to watch the Pembrokeshire murders after lunch.

Hope you’re ok Cherry?

Thinking of all with illness and worries about friends and family members.

Have a good day all.

Good morning from a bright Black Country. Up later than usual as it hardly seems worth getting up earlier these days, I wake up feeling so gloomy, but feel much better when up doing things.

We had a long 2 hour walk yesterday afternoon, then my daily video call with Mum. My DD buying the FB portal for her last April has been a lifeline for her. She keeps saying ' I didn't know such things existed'!

DD sent photo's yesterday of them on a walk with the caption 'it is all we do now'. At least they live in a village with lots of country walks nearby.

MrJan is off for a cycle ride today, so I may pootle over to have a walk with Mum, as being her bubble we are her only visitors.

Roast chicken tonight, with the last of the Christmas stuffing from the freezer.

I hope it won't be too long until you can be with your DH again Ashcombe

So sorry to hear about your young friend Dragonfly I hope it is mild and she will recover quickly. Hoping too your DsiL will test negative Gaga

Welcome Nanatwiglet

Wishing you all a good day with special thoughts of our gilly we are all still thinking of you if you are reading x

Sunny and not quite so cold so I think we must manage a little walk as DH hasn’t been out since going for his jab last Wednesday. Otherwise a “more of the same” day, roast lamb later and the Sunday paper. DH will enjoy the snooker, I will find something to do elsewhere in the house. Stay safe!

Good morning from North Yorkshire. There is a clear blue sky and the sun popped over the horizon further to the east than last time I watched it. Spring is coming!
I have a bit of ironing to do and will go out for some fresh air. The pavements are still icy but I haven’t been out for a walk since Thursday.
Have a good day everyone. Stay safe.

Good morning from a wet Morecambe Bay. Nothing new there! Zoom church shortly then some exercise. Maybe a walk if it dries up a bit. Thinking of Ashcombe with no end in sight to meet up with her DH. So frustrating.
Take care everyone, stay safe everyone ?

Had three goes and keep losing my messages! So today, just hello from a mild south Cornwall, and keep well!

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning Mick and all GNs from a bright South Glos. Looks like the sun's coming out. Hooray!

Sorry to hear about your friend dragonfly, and also hope that you are doing ok.

Had a lovely family Zoom yesterday with my oldest granddaughter (currently teaching in Qatar) also joining in.

Off to put the washing on. What an exciting life!

Thoughts to all who are poorly or struggling. Hope everyone has a good day. x

Good Morning Mick and all from a cloudy but dry S Welsh coast.
Sorry to hear about your young friend dragonfly I hope that he\she will make a full recovery. My best wishes to you too.
It must be hard for you being apart from your husband Ash but you always remain cheerful.
The local hospital is short of pyjamas, nighties etc for their covid patients, so I left a bag of nighties and a dressing gown that still had that still had the label on outside a house collection point yesterday afternoon.
I listened to a serialization of Obama's book on radio 4 recently * Nortsat* and enjoyed it.

Lamb tagine with couscous for us later.
Hope that you all have a pleasant day and stay safe

Good morning from a dry and bright Derbyshire. It's the first morning since the shortest day last month where it's been noticeably lighter before 8 am.

Another quiet day here. I've started sorting out the spare room, so will do a bit more of that this morning. Sunday lunch is being delivered by a local pub, it will be nice not to have to cook.

I'll have a walk out later to tend to the girls ?. I might extend it a bit to increase my exercise. DH loves walking but can't at the moment which is making a big difference to me too as I'm tending to stay in with him more - I feel a bit guilty going out walking without him!

Hope your DSiL is ok and tests negative Gagagran Sorry to hear about your friend dragonfly.

Hope Sunday is a good day for all.

Morning Mick, morning All from a cloudy corner of Somerset. The weather app tells me the sun is shining . Gammon to sort for our meal, some ironing, a chat with family, a short walk later and the day will be gone. I understand that worry gagagran, our isolating one has fortunately had no symptoms but a similar underlying worry here as he lives alone. Hope your son will be OK, also your young friend dragonfly. Good wishes to Autieflo and all with health or other worries. Take care everyone.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s just getting light and a mixed day of showers and dry spells is forecast.
Yesterday I enjoyed a surprise meet up with DD2 and DGC, we spent an hour or so walking by the river in town, it was lovely to see them all but we all got quite muddy, wet and windswept - hopefully we’ll see some slightly better weather soon ..
No plans for today, just the usual local walk somewhere, but hopefully a FaceTime call with DS later as we usually chat on a Sunday.
Hope your SiL doesn’t get too poorly gagagran also hoping your friend quickly recovers dragonfly
Hoping everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care whatever the day brings ?

Good morning from West Yorkshire...we still have snow and ice outside. It’s been treacherous underfoot to go out since Thursday. Local roads are never gritted here....but it’s all slowly melting...
Need to “escape” our four walls tomorrow for a medical appt!

Have a good day everyone! Sunshine is forecast...!

Gingster little children...they can break your heart sometimes.?

Good Morning everyone from a calm, peaceful S of France.
Seem to have a lot to do today, but as sure as God made little green apples, I won’t be doing it! I shall save a bustly, busy, do everything day until tomorrow. It’s Sunday and that’s a good enough excuse for me.

Might go back to the beach for a stroll and a gaze out to sea. Lots of snow to be seen on the tops of the mountains on the Spanish border. So miss getting into the car and setting off somewhere....anywhere, but must be patient.

Do hope your DSiL has ‘just a bug’, Gagagran and all your worries come to nothing. Hope you are more able to sort out your new meds, dragonfly. Hateful to have to change from something that suits to something that really doesn’t! Wishing hard that your friend starts to recover soon.

All with worries, concerns, problems, pain - or just feeling down in the dumps. Feel better and stronger very soon, please. I’m off to caramelise some onions. Our stash is seriously depleted. Then I can set to and make an onion tart.

From the look of my mirror, I must contact my hairdresser tomorrow. No need to risk frightening the locals on one of my very rare public appearances!

Stay safe dear GM’ers. Be good to yourselves and perhaps others will be good to you too. ?

?‍♀️???????

Good Morning all from a dry S Hants, should remain so all day so I’ll be out to stretch my legs later. Need to get a wash on and sort out my new kitchen floor mop thingy. Football to watch this afternoon while a piece of brisket simmers away in the slow cooker.
Have a pleasant day all.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. It’s a clear, blue sky beginning to the South Yorkshire day, but cold. All our snow has now disappeared but the thaw has raised the river levels again; there was a lot of water running off the fields yesterday. Nothing much planned today except to collect some shopping DD is doing for me later so I may get a walk in with her. Meat and potato pie for lunch. Have a good day folks.

Gag, a worrying time for you all. I hope your son will be ok. Norsat, I noticed your posts were short, now I know why. Hoping that the yukkiness subsides, it just drags you down. ?

Good morning from a brightening Colchester. Still cold but the snow/sleet/rain has passed and the sun is making an attempt.
Usual plans: none!
Roast pork for dinner with steamed syrup pudding and custard and a nice red. We're celebrating making it through another week.

Good morning from a gloomy Oxfordshire, it looks as though the sky might clear though, I long for some sunshine and a potter in the garden would be nice.
Roast beef today, the food menu is the only thing that changes each day, every day seems to be the same.
Have a good day everyone

Good morning Mick and all who follow, from a cold and wet Glasgow.

Mick, we have received a brochure for coach tours in the summer. We were sorely tempted by two different Welsh tours, but then we put our sensible hats on. Both of us have a desire to go on the steam train at Porthmadog. However, my health is too precarious, but it's good to dream.
I don't think anyone could even consider a coach tour, unless every occupant on the bus was vaccinated. How would you manage that?.

My DIL, a key worker got hers yesterday, so things are progressing and its good to hear of so many Gransnetters getting theirs. I'm in group four with DH, due to my vulnerability, although I'm only sixty five. As I haven't the energy to leave the house, it actually doesn't matter when I get it and there is still a doubt whether I can have it at all. ☹

Wee Dollie's laminated phonic resources arrived yesterday, so today will be spent organising them. I never in my wildest nightmares dreams imagined I would be doing this again. I was a rubbish infant teacher, big boys and girls were my forte!!!!

Ashcombe, it must be so hard for you not seeing your husband, I hope things are resolved soon.
What sad news about your young friend, dragonfly, especially when they are so vulnerable. I hope you are OK, you have been quite quiet lately

Have the best day you can in the circumstances.

Good morning from Essex and the prospect of a nice day is on the cards. A bit of sunshine will brighten the spirits.

I love watching the cruising programmes with JaneMacdonald. It brings back happy memories and seeing all those beautiful places in the sunshine is a tonic. We won’t be booking anywhere this year but are really looking forward to being able to return to our cottage by the sea. It’s only 80 miles away but we are forbidden at the moment.

Ashcombe I hope you and your DH can be reunited before too long. ?. And Thankyou for your comments on my other thread. ?.

Ah Scentia that’s so sad about your little GS missing his daddy. I remember when my DH worked away, my DS1 saying to him on the phone ‘ I can’t find you daddy’ . ?.

Wishing you all a pleasant day ??

Morning all from a still chilly south coast. 3.2c at 6.30am, It's dry though, after a very wet day yesterday.

DSiL was sent home early from the hospital where he is a consultant, on Friday, with a cough and feeling grim. He had had another cv test and they are waiting to hear if it is positive. By yesterday he had a temperature so we are all obviously concerned but still hoping that it is negative.

We can't offer any practical help, being vulnerable in terms of age and health conditions ourselves, so it's just being a sounding board as and when needed. DD is very resilient and strong and will hold it together but, if she gets it too......
(Mustn't cross bridges before we come to them).

Nothing on the agenda for today. Chicken kiev for lunch with new potatoes and carrots.

Take care everyone and keep safe. We will get through this.

Good morning all from a slightly lighter North Leicestershire. Not sure what the forecast is.

We had a long video chat with DD2 and her daughters yesterday, I arranged the flowers brought round by the florist's lovely husband and read the papers.

I am so sorry to hear about your friend dragonfly.

Good morning everyone from a dark east coast of Fife. We too had a Chinese takeaway last night i had delicious sweet and sour chicken. My dh and I went for a 2 ml car journey to clear our head yesterday. Couldn’t believe the amount of cars in the car parks at the beach just hope folks kept their social distances there was plenty of open space to do that. There were lots of dogs out having fun too I enjoyed watching them from the safety of inside our car. No going out for us it was far too cold. I also got the near to the end of my book when I got home “a Lady in Waiting” a good read everyone keep warm today it feels freezing out there must get my arms back inside these warm bed covers. Keep safe everyone it’s getting near to seeing the light, fingers crossed I saw a robin in our garden yesterday

Good Morning all and welcome to what we call another ‘ ditto’ day.
It’s not quite light yet here in N. Bucks and is damp and chilly.
It was nice yesterday to have a quick chat with friends , as we passed their house on our walk they were in their garage with the door open.
Will FaceTime with DGS later, he wants me to read a story and see the Lego models he has made.
Usual walk, pottering and craft today. Sencia has inspired me to have a go at sewing some little outfits which will make a change from knitting or crochet.
Hope you all find a ?today.
