Good Morning Monday, Michael, come back...

I’ve come back to read the thread after my dental appointment.

gM that typo gave me a bit of a start ? Your monochrome quilt is going to be stunning.

My DD is finding it stressful too Sar, so difficult when we’re unable to help.

Good to hear the update about your pregnant friend Marydoll and it’s too bad you can’t do online tutoring, I think my DD could use the help.

NanKate I know what you mean. I’ve had to put my family history work aside for the time being as I could not get the visions of their poverty out of my head.

Congratulations granfromafar is this your first grandchild?

I often wonder about that too Grammaretto, I’m sure there must be a reason for it.

Hope your breathing improves Gwen. Sending good wishes for your husband and for you Geargesgran.

I’m going to get on with my book now, The Bee Keeper of Aleppo, I’m a few chapters in and would thoroughly recommend it.

Apparently posted this on another thread, Doh!! GNHQ alerted me to my mistake.

Anyhoo here it is and thanks for the update on Mick, Marydoll.

Sherlock Holmes Marydoll more like Miss Marple in a kilt ?

Thank you Marydoll for passing that information on and thank you to the former poster (I think most of us will know who that is) for contacting Mick for us. It's not that we want to know all the ins and outs - we respect privacy - but just to hear that he's ok and will be back in touch when he is ready is enough to put minds at rest, so thank you again. ?

yey Pantglas is back.

Sherlock Holmes, eat your heart out! The power of we oldies to suss out the truth.

I will post this info again in the morning.

Where there's a will,eh, Marydoll.

Thank you marydoll and a n other for the update and very best wishes to mick I hope he’s back with us soon

Thank you Marydoll

I have news of Mick. The lady on the dark side has had a message from Mick. He hopes to be in contact in a few days and thanks everyone for their good wishes.
Please don't ask for any more info. It's up to Mick to update us, if he wishes.

Good morning to you all and to Michael,

I have just returned from taking my dog into the forest. He wasn`t keen at all as he had to stomp through the thick snow with his short legs. But in the end we strolled for an hour through the snowy land. More snow is forecast. Minus 2 degrees now. Now I am going to eat some crumpets which I made yesterday. I can`t buy them here and when some of you wrote that they were looking forward to their crumpets, I got rather peckish for them.

I wish you all good health and no troubles. x

Good morning to all, and thanks for GrandMattie, for opening up.
I began this before noon, but knew it would be a long time until I actually pressed Post.
I had a sore hip over the weekend, but pain killers are keeping it mostly at bay.
It has been a changing the bed and laundry morning here, then a welcome coffee.
Such good news about Marydoll's friend's daughter, have I got that right? It reminded me of the beautiful story a few days ago, on TV, where a mum had been ill with Covid, and didn't meet her baby daughter for about 3 months.
Good to see Pantglas back. I have been very confused with all the 'talk' of missing friends and posters, who are, it seems, not to be mentioned.
Can someone explain, in words of one syllable, what on earth is going on. I don't understand. We are, mostly, a group of friends who support each other when in need. So, it is only a basic need to be aware of one another and when they go absent, we want to know the how and why. I will shut up now.
(That almost penultimate word almost matched granMattie's)
There are so may to mention, but now I have forgotten, please forgive me. My thoughts were with you as I read from the beginning. Indeed I believe in the power of prayer, and as I go through each one, you are in my heart.
Have a good day, one and all.

Sorry to hear about MrGeorgesgran.
Welcome back Pantglas.

White rabbits everyone from Sunnyside, northwest coast. No excuse for not taking a walk today, may even get on my bike.
A good nights sleep for a change, probably due to my son being here, nice company and the thought of little jobs achieved. Yesterday I washed my hair, big event at the mo. Sprayed the grey roots with brown spray, very good, but can’t believe how thin it is after a lifetime of very thick hair. Have a new fanged curler which takes 4 hours to charge, 4 hours! What’s the point of that, particularly if you are in a dash, which I’m not these days, as my waistline attests.
Neighbour’s drill whirring away, so springlike happenings.
Keep well, thoughts to Mick and anyone worried in this vale of tears.

Marydoll good news and hopefully better news on Friday.
Pantglas good to see you posting again, we were worried!
Granfromafar congratulations!
Zoe2020 welcome its nice to meet you!
Mick I dont care what GNHQ says we are all thinking of you and hope to see you back soon.
To all missing posters especially the lady with the slim dog we are thinking of you!
Stay safe all.

Good morning all from a cold, bright Lancashire. The weather is ‘crisp and dry’ but snow and ice warnings are in place for later. I decided to give myself a shake this morning and go out for a walk, instead of waiting until later. A lot of people come here for a walk and it can get quite crowded, which I find off putting. I put the big coat on but forget my hat. Distinctly chilly on the ears! Ready for a big bowl of porridge and a hot drink now, Mr. B has that in hand so I will relax and catch up on your posts.

Wishing you all a peaceful day and the strength to deal with any cares.

Good morning everyone. A quick hello then I will go back and read all your posts, there are a lot this morning and I am late(again)!
Not much planned for today, OH is taking our bubble neighbour for her vaccination this afternoon, mine is tomorrow morning.
Stay safe all.

Good afternoon from yet another wet grey day in Belgium, it seems to have been raining forever, certainly since October.
Garden is like a swamp high walls and lots of trees so quite damp anyway.
School walk this afternoon, only 20 minutes but seems longer in the rain.
Root canal treatment tomorrow morning at the Dentist, not looking forward to that one little bit.
Stay safe everyone.

I too am sorry to hear about your DH's health Georgesgran. I do hope stopping the chemo makes him feel better.

I felt quite enlightened reading about your brother Ellan.

Good to see you back Pantglas

Good Morning All x. White Rabbits.
Quite a cold start and now clouding over what was a bright blue sky to begin with which means that the temperature will have increased a notch---it needs to as well.

Throat feels a bit thick on one side this morning and I keep swallowing thinking something's there. I had a dollop of honey then my usual cup of tea as hot as I could bear it. Also smothered my crumpets with lemon curd. Will have a couple of paracetamol in a minute just to keep the wolf from the door.

Just got the bathroom and kitchen cleaned so that'll do for another week Nearly time for 11's--coffee and marshmallows. I know how to live !

Good news coming from Marydoll's friend's GD which is uplifting when two lives are involved. All will be well x

More hairy moments on the farm Sheepandcattle with the " top-heavy" ewes but glad the emergency was averted. You've got to have eyes at the back of your head where animals are concerned, which is why I have every admiration/ respect for vets who rely on instinct as their patients can't shout out when things go wrong.

Those lovely home-made covers/quilts make me feel ashamed that I hadn't continued with my embroidery I used to do years ago when I bought " iron-on" patterns and would do plain pillow-cases and tablecloths. Now, I can't sit still for 5 minutes. A bit like a hyperactive child sometimes skipping from one thing to another.

Macaroni cheese today, easy and filling as well as nourishing. That'll keep the cold out.

Thankyou for opening shop GrandMattie I imagine Mick will come out of hiding soon, he can't stay away forever it's not allowed

Brother's Birthday this week and he'll be 78. He's done well considering he refused treatment ( radiotherapy) for prostate cancer a few years ago. He'd had the hormone therapy but said that was enough he'd take his chances.
Then the start of the GGC's Birthdays this month. They'll be forgetting who I am. Over a year since I've seen them.

I send thoughts to those who feel a bit down in the mouth or unwell and hope the lighter evenings improve matters slightly.
Stay warm and well everyone and I wish you a good day xx

Good morning everyone from the Gower.

I haven't been able to read all you lovely peoploids doings yet, I think I'm in the land of the unwell ?. Everything from the shoulders up that is, probably a bit run down that's all ?

I did notice that you are back Pantglas, I'm glad you are full of the joys again.

Thinking of you Susan ?

? to all of you, take care and stay safe ❤️

George's gran I'm sorry to hear about your husband's health.

Popping back to say hurrah! Pantsglas is back!!!

Good morning from a grey S Wales, surprising as I expected it to be snowy white out there this morning but the snow has disappeared overnight.

GrandMattie I'm ? at your typo - blame it on autocorrect!

Are we allowed to ask after Mick and other absent friends as we would in RL? I do hope he's all right and will be back posting soon.

Another exciting day ahead - changing the bed, washing, steam cleaning the kitchen floor. Such joys.

I hope your friend's DGD's C section goes well Marydoll.

Best wishes to all who are unwell or have problems.

Morning all from S Lanarkshire, not much time to post today so just want to say what a relief to hear the good news about your friend’ granddaughter Marydoll, I’ll be so happy to pass it on to friends who are also remembering her.
Good wishes everyone x

Georgesgran I'm so sorry your DH is so poorly. ???. And good to see you back Pantglas. ?
