Good Morning everyone from a frosty Severnside. The sky has the sunrise glow with the silhouette of the dark trees. One of my loves, trees against the sky in different lights, especially bare trees.

It’s sad your girls have worries at their young age Mattie.

My girl is coming today so it’s very possible that the house will fill with laughter. If she stays to eat I’m going to cook Urms soap dish. LadyO would you post your salmon risotto recipe please. It sounds like something I would enjoy.

Take care all and don’t take on too much too soon Mick. ?

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it is still dark and wet.
Today I am going to collect DGS to do a bit of childcare for the day. He can help me finish making my new Guinea Pig run. I have done the hutch and DH is showing an interest, I knew he would as he loves animals. He did say “don’t start bringing them inside will you!” After a week or so he will be fetching them in for a play, soft as grease he is?
I am ordering copy of The Dutch House as so many seemed to rave about it yesterday.
Annie I do hope everything is getting clearer in your mind and you are feeling a little more calmer today.
Thinking about the young mum and hoping the CS went ok and they are all ok.
Take care my GM friends and stay safe?❤️

Morning corner! Had me scratching my head about rubber sheets for a moment there!

Morning Mick, Mattie and all who follow. It feels chilly here on the south coast, 3.2c on my weather station and the promise of some snow tonight into Sunday morning. Glad you are settling back into your home Mick. Nothing like your own bed after a spell in hospital is there?

I had a "nothing on the agenda" day yesterday as well but enjoyed seeing lots of photos of DGD's 16th birthday celebrations with her sister and parents. They made sushi, which is something have never ever tasted. There's something off-putting to me about cold rice and raw fish!

DH enjoyed his bike ride with his chum but they were both tired when they got back. I suggested that DH, as the route planner, had maybe gone a bit too far but of course he said not. I think he forgets his physical limitations these days!

Sausage, mash and onion gravy is on the menu today. Just the job on a cold winter day.

Sorry to hear about your worried DGDs Mattie. The afternoon tea will be a lovely treat. I might make some scones later, thinking of that.

Hope today is a good day for us all. Keep warm and keep safe. Spring really is coming soon. sunshine

Morning Mick, morning All. Dark, cold and looks dry in our corner of Somerset. You’re both sounding better mick and grandmattie, don’t overdo it though. We all need down time, even machines get that.

Enjoyed a walk yesterday, hope for the same today. Need to find some exercise sheets and large rubber band things that go with them. Goodness knows where they are, certainly not where I was sure I had put them. We should be researching a new tv, we really should, a wonder about how long it would take us to understand it seems to be a deterrent!

Special thoughts for those with heavy hearts. Take care everyone.

Good morning,*Mick*, and everyone from a grey E Kent. What horrible weather is forecast for us! Poor DS2, who works in a huge paper recycling factory, is going to have two or three difficult nights.
Feeling much better today after a “nothing” day yesterday- mostly sat and read. I feel so guilty if I don’t do anything constructive. Wretched Protestant work ethic!
Shall keep busy today, mostly sewing as I have done all the contacting and telephoning yesterday.
I sorted out a “Lent calendar” full of positive things to do for my Sunday School group and sent it to the leader.
My two young DGDs have been low; they worry terribly about things, so I have ordered an afternoon tea to be delivered today. I have only told the elder girl as she loves secrets and is good at keeping them! I hope that they enjoy it.
I hope the poorly, sad, worried, in pain and just plain cheesed off have a gentle day. X
