Good Morning Friday

Good Morning all from a dreich Harrogate. Welcome back Mick. You have been missed!! GrandMattie has done a sterling job in your absence.

Thought I had better check, Virginmedia were supposed to be coming to the house this pm to move the router to where is might work better. We are supposed to have high speed wifi, I'd like any speed regularly round the house. Apparently because of COVID they are not coming to houses unless the broadband is just not working. They have notified everyone of this, they say (apart from us)!!!!!

WOW! I enjoyed my runaround yesterday in the car. Didn't do any shopping, but took some stuff to DD1. Picked up stuff from Homebase for this pm's imaginary improvement by, now redundant.
Just run out of ground coffee!! Just opened the one DH said was it's successor - It's instant coffee - Grr

Losing your calf must have been distressing sheepand cattle, but you will have good days, too.

Would like to see more of our missing folks!!

Look after yourselves and keep well folks!!

Greetings all from a sunny Hertfordshire, how wonderful to be able to say that after all the grey days!

Poor Mick, what a worrying 8 days, great to see you back and Covid free. ? Sheepandcattle what a horrible start to the day for you, fingers crossed your neighbour will have a spare calf, we can all feel for the poor mum missing her own. Looking for news on the Caesar later MaryDoll.

Here are some daffodils to signal Spring!

Welcome back, Mick, take care and look after yourself.
Normal service is now resumed!

Good Morning - like a number of others here this morning, I don't often post now but do read the thread. I just wanted to say welcome back Mick and please look after yourself

Good morning all, another infrequent poster on this thread although I look in most days. I’m glad to see you are back and well enough to post Michael take care of yourself and I’m waving to Lona who was one of the first posters I saw on GN many years ago. I must go and catch up with the thread and news of Kitty’s roof. Our roof is saving it’s drips for when we least expect it but it won’t be long before it catches one of us. After a week of gloomy weather it’s pouring today and threatens to carry on for another week.

Welcome backMck ?. Those dizzy spells you had were obviously a warning sign. I'm so glad you're home now and recovering. Now please look after yourself !

It's raining here in the Gower today and the guy over the road appears to be intent on hammering his garage roof, probably water getting in.
I seem to be recovering from whatever was making me feel blurgh, so that's a positive today ?.

Yesterday there was a huge police cordon blocking the route to the village where my surgery has it's centre for the vaccine. The centre is two minutes in the car from where I live if we go there that way but a 25 minute detour the other way ?. I wasn't thinking about that yesterday though, just concerned about what had happened. Eventually, about 11m, the report was that a local man had crashed he car and died at the scene, he was 65 years old. There was more in the report, and they are looking for two sets of people who left the scene before the police arrived ?
I'm having the sharp scratch this afternoon so I hope the corden has been removed ?

Good luck today Auntieflo and thinking of your friend's DGD Marydoll. Hope you are feeling stronger
Susan ? and that you'll be back with us soon.

Take care everyone, be kind to yourselves ❤️

Sorry, I forgot to say that it's a bit damp and a little bit sunny here in Cheshire!
?

Good morning to all from a regular lurker, just to say welcome back Michael, glad you're feeling better and please look after yourself. I have a similar heart condition and it makes me a bit nervous.

Also, I need to wave back to kittylester who waved on a different thread. Thank goodness your roof is finally being sorted after all these years!!

Good morning from a dry...for the moment...corner of Cumbria. Welcome back to Mick, am sure it is good to be home. Sorry for your sad start to the day Sheepandcattle, hope you find a calf for your cow to adopt. I agree with your decorating methods Scentia, my late dad was such a perfectionist and would do everything by the book...masking tape, floor and furniture coveringss, sanding, turpsing, undercoating, three coats, more sanding and turpsing between coats!!!! Drove my poor mother mad ?.
Exciting trip out last night, took a late night shopping trip to two.....yes TWO.....supermarkets. Both extremely quiet although were short of a couple of things as shelves needed restocking.
Dog walking later, think sun is struggling through. Have a good day all.

Good Morning to you all from a dry & sunny Cambs., A lot of rain again last night, our poor garden is saturated, but the snowdrops are still looking so lovely (& brave).!

Pleased to see you back & safe at home Mick, do take great care now.

We do miss our missing, don't we?

Warm wishes to all.

Take Care Folks.

Good morning all. Good to see you back home safe Mick and to hear that your health is being looked after. Cold and rather damp here, I have laundry to do then may do some sewing later.

Hope everyone has a peaceful day.

Good morning all,
Welcome back, Mick. Take things slowly for awhile.
Thanks to grandMattie for doing sterling deputising ?.

It's another grey, misty morning here in my part of South Yorkshire. I don't think it can decide what to do - stay fine, rain or snow! We may get some of the white stuff on Sunday, but it's not certain just yet. I'm hoping it gives us a miss.

Another thrilling day ahead! It's sad when the most exciting thing to do is tackle the ironing pile! Oh well, it's good news to hear this morning that we've passed the peak, but I don't think we should be rushing to lift restrictions just yet or I fear we'll be back to square one and the thought of yet more months of lockdown due to hasty lifting of this one fills me with despair.

sheepandcattle that was sad news about the calf. I suppose it happens every year, but nevertheless, it's upsetting. I hope your farmer neighbour has a calf for your cow to suckle.

Hope you finally get your roof sorted out, kitty - it's been a long time!

Thinking of your friends GD today, marydoll, and of Auntieflo . Hope all goes well.

To all feeling unwell, or with worries of any kind, I send you my best wishes. ?

Take care everyone.

Good morning all and a big welcome back to Mick take care of yourself.

Good Morning All x.
Pleasant enough out there this morning with a slight breeze but doesn't feel as cold as it has done of late. We're at 6 degrees but I must say it doesn't feel as cold as it sounds.

Mick I'm glad you've come through your ordeal, not a pleasant experience. Take things easy and let your body heal.

So sad to hear about the calf Sheepandcattle and I can fully understand how upsetting it can be all round. I've nursed most of my life and accepted human deaths but when it comes to animals I feel it much harder.

Hope all goes well for Marydoll's friend's GD and baby as I'm sure once born that things will settle.
Thoughts with Auntieflo today All will be well.

Welcome to the first time posters---before I forget
Head feels a bit " cotton-woolly " this morning ( nothing unusual ) so much going on in it !

Marydoll your escapades are hilarious. I had the voice of Bob Newhart in my head----remember him ? The driving instructor.

Best wishes to those suffering post-vax oddities and other peculiarities that this life throws at us.

A quick nip out to the corner shop today for bread and milk and that will be the day's exercise done. The usual fish and chips today----days are getting lazier.

Keep safe and well everyone---you too Gilly xx

Good morning from the NE where we have torrential rain.
Sorry to hear about your DH Georgesgran.
Good to have you back Mick.
Still no sign of sister getting vaccination, the word is they may start in middle of March in her part of Germany
Stay safe and warm.

Good morning from a dry for once Morecambe Bay.
Glad to see you back Mick now take it easy and look after yourself.
Marydoll what a way with words you have to describe a situation which invariably makes me smile. You missed your way in life and should have written a novel never mind a novella!
You really must has inspired many a child into quality creative writing when you were teaching.
Take care stay safe everyone ?

Another here who reads some mornings but I don't have the time to post as my husband has alzhimers and most days are difficult, but the chat here cheers me up so thank you for that. Mick So delighted to see you back at the helm and wishing you all the best for your recovery. Take care you lovely folks.

Morning, good to see you back Mick sorry you’ve been poorly.
Well 2 days in a row of me posting on this thread and I have done so today because Husband brought me breakfast in bed: cup of tea, crumpets with butter and lemon curd, so had something pleasing to share.
I know I’m very fortunate and it was a surprise- no reason he just did! Think I’ll keep him- seems the training of the last 40 years ( will be in April) is starting to pay off ??.
Hope you all have as good a day as you can, and thinking of those with concerns and worries.

Good morning Michael and all GNs. Very good to see you back from sick bay Mick. Take it easy - that’s an order! Thank you to GrandMattie for doing a Sterling job of holding the fort! It’s brightening up in South Yorkshire but I doubt we’ll walk today. We did a bit of garden tidying yesterday afternoon, cutting back some overgrown shrubs in our front border so that we can see the daffs when they flower. There don’t seem to be so many this year but they always brighten up the front.
Sheepandcattle that was a very sad start to your day. I don’t suppose you ever really take it in your stride.
kitty I hope this is the final fling for your roof! These guys sound as if they know what they’re doing, but I suppose the others did too!
Have a good day folks and stay safe.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good to see you back at the helm Mick; hope your recovery goes to plan. Scentia’s comments on decorating reminded me of why we don’t do it ourselves. With a six week old baby we embarked on painting our only living room to find that perfection (DH) and getting it over as quickly as possible (me) couldn’t coexist, and now we get a man (or two) in. Said baby is 56 this year. That particular bit of do it ourselves took four weeks and nearly led to divorce.

Sunny in North Somerset at present so may be a little walk and/or a potter in the garden if it stays fine, but no other plans. Hope the worried and the unwell have a better day.

Yes granfromafar it is only a joke! You took it in good spirit in a clever way though.
??

Good morning from central scotland. Pretty wet here but 5degrees. Glad you are better mick, you seem to be a very popular guy! I've only been readingvthisxthread for past couple of days. You all seem to care about one another which is lovely

Gingster, I have read The Dutch House, and really enjoyed it. DD said it was one of her 'books of the year'. Hope you like it, it's a good read.

Just a quick hello from Oxfordshire, relieved that you are safe and recovering at home Mick, take care and get well soon.
DH is fine after his Jab yesterday afternoon he had the AZ one, not even a sore arm.
Only cleaning to be done today so Have a good day everybody.
And take care.
