Good Morning Friday, deputising for an absent Mick

Good morning from West Berkshire.
Batch cooking and housework today whilst listening to my audio book . Hoping to see Mick back here very soon .

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it is still dark and wet ☔️☔️☔️☔️
I have already been out delivering and I only have to take my car for a new tyre then the day is my own.
I can’t stop thinking about Marydoll friends DGD and her unborn baby ?
Hope you get in ok at your appointment Mary and everything is ‘A OK’
I am planning on playing with my sewing machine today.
Take care all my GM friends, stay safe, dry and look after one another❤️

Good morning Mick and all

Since I posted yesterday I have slept all day and all night, I feel better for it and will now try and catch up.

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️

Good morning all from a rainy Derbyshire. I'm hoping DD has put the tub trug in place to catch the rainwater at the yard to save me a job later.

Sheepandcattle I understand about the muddy fields - ours is on a slight slope and drains really well but is worse than it normally ever gets. Thankfully no standing water.

Today a short walk out with DH. He's chosen a circular walk around the chip shop so we can call for lunch afterwards.

Hope today's appointments go well for Marydoll and AuntieFlo . Also thinking of your friends granddaughter and her baby Marydoll. Hope Grandmafrench is feeling better.

Have a good Friday all.

Good morning from the Scottish Borders. Still snow lying here. I was glad to read that Mick is OK .
I had an emergency dentist appointment yesterday and am on antibiotics for an abscess. I still have toothache but it's a bit better during the day.
You are a brave dressmaker Beechnut photos please

May your appointments go well today and I hope your young friend recovers Marydoll
I am still searching for missing documents decluttering
I must get out for a walk. I missed it yesterday.

Just seen on Good Morning Thursday that "the exiled one" has managed to confirm that Mick is safe and well and will be back asap.

Good morning all from a dry Essex by the sea.
DD2 had her op yesterday and will be going home later this morning. She now has to wait for the result of the biopsy on her lymph node. My fingers are firmly crossed ??. I'm finding it hard not being able to see her ?.
No plans today apart from washing and ironing.
I hope your hospital appointment goes well Marydoll and my thoughts are with your friends granddaughter.
I also hope Mick is ok and will be back with us soon.
Kind thoughts to anyone who is struggling or sad.
Have the best Friday you can and stay safe everyone xx

Good morning all from a rainy Wiltshire ?. Looks like it will be another day of ‘mud, mud, glorious mud’ on the farm - starting to long for some dryness, not least so the fields can start to dry out and be less bog-like. Yesterday’s Red Tractor inspection went without a hitch and we passed with no ‘non-compliances’ so all good there. The ‘girls’ had a busy day with 4 of them calving successfully so we had to re-jig the ‘maternity wards’ to give the post-calving cows more space. It’s very joyful to see the new calves ‘ganging up’ and racing round the barn, kicking up their heels and showing off! A real time-waster watching them but then what is life if you don’t ‘stand and stare’ occasionally?!
Today we need to venture out and stock up on some farming-essentials. I’ve been avoiding going off farm as much as possible recently because the thought of catching COVID before lambing starts is a worry to me. With just my husband and I working the farm it would be a real problem if one of us was too ill to work so it’ll be a quick in and out to get what we need.
Sending thoughts and best wishes to those in distress today. Mary doll - I hope so much that your friends daughter and unborn child are safe - her poor family must be in bits. And to the poster who’s daughter was having surgery yesterday (sorry - not good at names yet), I hope all went smoothly.

Apologies, Marydoll. Hope your hospital appointment today is successful .

I’m making your SOAP today Urm and have just checked back a few days for the instructions ?

Good morning, everyone and thank you, grandMattie! Dry and windy in Torbay.

It was good to know yesterday that Mick is ok.

Other than seeing the dental hygienist before Christmas, I’ve had no dental treatment for a year. My dentist left just before the pandemic and couldn’t be replaced. Since then, it was “emergencies only but we will contact you.”

So I waited. A replacement was found but still nothing so on Wednesday, I emailed to request a check up and a phone call early yesterday offered me an appointment this afternoon! I do wonder if I had been overlooked.

Doesn’t that say it all about our current situation that I can tell a yarn like this about the highlight of my day?

My thoughts and prayers with those who suffer especially the poorly pregnant young woman known to Marydoll. ?✝️?

Good morning all from a damp North Leicestershire. Thank you for opening up Mattie. I hope that Mick is back with us soon and, of course all other missing posters.

Our main excitement today is our new neighbour is moving in. Our lovely neighbour of 26 years died almost a year ago so it will be really odd to have someone new there.

It's also bed changing day.

Mary sending best wishes to your friend's daughter.

Good Morning everyone from Severnside where it’s wet and dark.
Thanks for opening Mattie.

A day of sewing for me. My skirt design is out of my head and will have gathered tiers. The thought came came to me as I was writing on pieces of paper so I knew what piece was what that it was suitable for our time ?

Hope your hospital trip goes well Marydoll and the same for anyone else who has an appointment today.
Stay safe and well ?

Morning all from a damp south coast. 10.2c this morning. Has anyone heard from or about Mick?

Better news from the DD yesterday so my worries about them have eased. It may take a while to be completely better but they are all on the up and up now. Thankfully.

My older sister is having her first jab today after I managed to persuade her that she should do, at 87 years old and following a recent cancer operation. She is diabetic and has a heart problem too so, a no-brainer. She had got it into her head that we are all guinea pigs being used to test the vaccines.

Another day of nothing on the agenda here. Getting tedious and I am having to work hard to stay positive. I suspect that is the case for many of us.

Come on spring - we need you to cheer us.

Morning grandMattie and all.
Thank you for starting the GM thread...weather at the moment looking dry in Bolton...thinking about all of you with worries.... try to smile though...?

Good morning GrandMattie. Thank you for opening the thread, my fingers were twitching to do so but I didn’t feel as a relative newbie that it was my right.
Managed to get 6 hours sleep last night which is a bonus when sleeping in DD’s bed. Will get the boys up and off to school and then home to DH. Need a trip to local garden centre to buy the February birthday cards.
Mum has GP appointment this morning and will take her for that.
I am working all weekend so treat tonight of takeaway and Prosecco.
Trust the day is kind to all, so good to see so many getting vaccinations/invites
