Good morning from a wet and windy E Kent. I don’t think we’ll get the worst of storm Christoph here, though I feel for those who will.
Mick, your curry sounds delicious, I love curry but DH can’t take the different spices so we never have it.
Cherry, can’t do with technology but can’t do without either...
Nothing on again, a bit of sewing. Ratatouille for dinner.
Hope those in the storm don’t suffer too much damage, those in pain, sorrow or trouble weather today. Pin a smile ? on or faces and battle on. All will be well, all will be well, all manner of things WILL be well. ☀️

Good morning Mick and all goodmorningers. It's pouring down here in the Gower.

A slow cooked curry sounds good Mick.

I've surprised myself this morning by being awake this early since I had a seizure and fell out of bed at 1:30am ?. Usually when I have one at that time I'm still fasto.
It's just as well that I've no real plans today, not that that's out of the ordinary at the moment - for me or many of you just now. I do have my usual daily quiz, not sure how that's going to go today! ? Apart from that, and cooking a breast of lamb, the rest of the day is down to my imagination and even that's limited today ?. Hey ho, at least my footie team won again yesterday evening and that means I'm a happy bunny ?

I hope everyone of you are keeping reasonably well, I haven't been able to even read anyone's posts for days since my tablet decided to have a nervous breakdown and I had to have a man who knows (how) to fix it; not my WP as he didn't know. Thankfully it's up and running now albeit not on all cylinders. What would we do without technology easy to hand, eh?

Please take care everyone, stay safe and cosy, find a wonder in the day, a smile along the way and be kind to yourselves ❤️

Morning Mick, morning All from a dark corner of Somerset. Looks damp out there but hard to tell yet. Awake unreasonably early for me, no reason, just awake. Domestic God and Goddess day ahead here. We’ll clean all through and sort the grocery delivery. We’ve always shared the cleaning and see no reason to change now smile. Hope the curry turns out as you like it mick. Take care everyone. Be kind to yourselves, it’s not an easy time for any of us.

Good morning all from Torbay, where Storm Christophe still holds sway, having raged for most of the night!

Your plans for a curry sound tasty, Mick!

I enjoyed lunch and the company of my bubble mate yesterday and I think the car was grateful for being driven after being being ignored for nearly three weeks!

In the evening, I participated in a Zoom committee meeting for our amdram company. No idea when we can reopen but essential maintenance of our building (a converted church) continues. We have benefitted from grants awarded by the government via our local council during our enforced closure. The photos show the auditorium and bar, both favourite places in normal times!

Stay safe and warm, everyone!

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it is still dark and ver ver wet. My new garden lamp has blown over and hopefully hasn’t broken as it is still lit!
My day off has been restored as I worked extra yesterday to get the jobs out.
I have no car and t is raining ☔️ so I may do some cleaning and watch some TV.
DD was upset as her DH isn’t yet onshore as the weather has been too bad in Marydoll country to get the chopper to the Rig. Maybe today?

Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark and wet outside but not as windy as late yesterday here in Brackley this morning.
To occupy myself , I am going to use some chicken pieces, I had in the freezer ,and create a Chinese style curry in the slow cooker .
I aim to put it on a low, so it will simmer , the aim is let it thicken slightly.
Otherwise a quiet day , assuming what the postie brings , who seem to be delivering earlier during the lockdown.
Take Care,
Mick
