Good Morning Tuesday

Good morning all and we’ve had more snow here in Essex. Little pooch has just returned from the garden covered in balls of ice. She’s a cockerpoo with tight curly fur, so you can’t brush to ice off. She will just have to melt.

Our vaccines are booked for this lunchtime, but the centre was closed yesterday (snow). Not sure if it will be open today but the roads look so icy, I’m not really happy about getting there. I think we’ll rebook! ?.

Marydoll you are indeed ‘in a pickle’. I hope things sort themselves out for you, . You can do without all this stress! ?.

Enjoy the tennis, girls. I might join you, especially if pimms is involved. Or perhaps mulled wine in this cold climate! ?.

Here’s a pic of my little Gd’s footprints barefoot in the snow. ? ?. Daddy’s challenge for the day. ?

Take care out there everyone. No slipping or sliding. ??⛄️

Good morning from Malta where the weather is mild with a bit of pale blue sky showing amongst the clouds.

I popped to the corner shop earlier as I shall be puppy-sitting later so don’t want to have to go out then.

So sorry to hear of your awful plight Marydoll, anything to do with teeth has me wincing in sympathy.

Also, very sorry you’ve had a nasty bug NanKate. Hope you are feeling better and that you will enjoy the tennis. I’m so annoyed with myself for missing Rafa’s match. It was so early I only caught the very end. ☹️

Wishing everyone as good a day as possible, stay warm and safe and let’s hope better days are coming.☀️

Good morning to one and all from a shivvery cold west Kent. Set to be -1 all day here with a glimpse of sunshine around midday so hope I can persuade OH outside for a quick walk. Had to be up early yesterday as OH had done a home-covid test after being randomly selected and the courier was collecting it 'from 8am' . We are not early risers, especially recently, so had to set alarm for 7.15 am to make sure we were up in time for said collection. Of course he didn't appear till around 10 am! Felt tired for the rest of the day!
Hope all those with medical appointments get to them without any hitches, particularly Marydoll and the dentist. Ouch!

Good morning from a very very cold and grey Suffolk
marydoll keeping my fingers crossed that you can juggle your appointments and get that tooth jab and appointment all done Good luck

Good morning Mick and all

It’s snowing here in my little corner of S E Essex I think it will be difficult to get the 5 yr old to concentrate on homeschooling today (he had a snow day yesterday, no lessons just fun)!! Cannot believe he is 6 on Thursday, it only seems like yesterday (I was with my daughter at his birth) !!

Oh dear Marydoll hope you can get to the dentist, you are never short of excitement of the wrong sort!!!!

Wishing all my morning friends a better day, keep warm.

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️❄️

Morning all from a very cold Wiltshire. This morning I’m being spoilt as DH has offered to go out and check and feed the sheep so I’m having an extra cuppa in the warm - bliss! No new calves born yesterday - the final 5 mothers-to-be are keeping their legs firmly crossed and enjoy the peace and quiet in the pre-calving barn. I hope I’ve managed to attach a photo of some of the cows and calves. Nancy is the cow in the centre suckling her adopted black calf, Dumpy Bag. You can practically see the love between them glowing ! We bought 2 new incalf cows yesterday, lovely Belgium Blues, now christened Blue and Roo, but they are in the isolation pen until they have some blood tests and vaccinations as we can’t risk them bringing any nasties into the herd.
I had to get the sheep in again yesterday to sort out some sore feet as I need the ewes to be in tip top condition ready for lambing in the next couple of weeks. If a sheep has a sore foot, they are less likely to get up and graze and they can quickly loose condition. I hope I’ve managed to include a photo of my Second in Command and his side kick, Daft Cat, watching over proceedings!
Wishing you all a good day and that pesky appointments, I’ll-health and worries get sorted as well as possible.

Good morning from an icy NE.
It did not snow much during the day yesterday but what was already there froze into crunchy peaks.
Had a surprise phone call from my sister on her mobile, she pressed the wrong number by mistake so we had a chat.
Must make sure we check the supermarket order for tomorrow, we didn't have a delivery last week.
Thinking of you Marydoll and Georgesgran and all others who need a virtual hug.

Good Morning from N. Bucks. Very cold with a covering of snow.
MrGinny says thank you for the birthday greetings yesterday.
He had lots of calls and a nice zoom session with all the family. DGS2 ( 5 years old). ‘helped ‘ to blow out Grandads candles and had asked his Mummy and Daddy to set up a disco . So we all had to dance. ?

Empty diary today . DH will finish decorating the spare room and then tomorrow I shall put it all straight again.

? for Marydoll and all with troubles of any kind.
Hope you all find a ? today.

Good morning from snowy Colchester. Deep and crisp and even here and spookily quiet.
I have to venture out in the below freezing temperatures for supplies. Luckily Lidl is a 5 minute walk away and most of it is grass, so as long as they've gritted around the shop I'll be ok. Will dig out my walking boots.
No other plans.
Much love to all.

Good morning from a very cold Teddington where it's trying to snow. Woke with a headache so may go back to bed! Hope Marydoll manages to get to a dentist, and that her appointments get sorted out. Lovely to see the mums and babies in a very comfortable looking large barn. Have the best day possible everyone.

Morning from my snowy bit of S Lanarkshire. I think we are on the edge of it here, my farming daughter is only about 12 miles further east but they are quite a bit higher and I got a lovely video last night of my 15 and 17 year old granddaughters skiing gently over their fields. Not for me, but they were having a wonderful time!
I’m hoping to get my spikes back on my boots and have a walk with my daughter who lives in the town. Between the weather and her work we’ve only managed quick doorstep chats since Christmas. I’ll be relieved when I hear she got safely home after she finished work late last night.
Have a good day everyone x

Good morning from a cold and frosty West Berkshire village.

Mick the entire world is with you wanting normality back .

Another day of filling the time . Batch cooking , a bit of admin, listening to my audiobook whilst tidying or reorganising something ....
During the first lockdown I sorted my collection of travel books into alphabetical order , my very own Waterstones. Perhaps it’s the cookery books turn today ....

I’ll pop back later to see how Marydoll gets on with her dental appointment. Fingers crossed ?.

Best wishes to all who are poorly or down at heart.

Good morning Mick, morning all from snowy South Lanarkshire, although there’s not a huge amount at the moment.

Gorgeous photos this morning of footprints, cows, cats and dogs.
? ? ? ?

I had a lovely walk in the park yesterday, chatted to another dog walker for about fifteen minutes, I think we were both starved of company.

You’re doing well with the exercises Elizabeth, I admire your determination.

Marydoll as if you don’t have enough to contend with. I’m so sorry about your tooth, dentists can do so much these days, I hope it can be repaired quickly.

I’ll have to dig something out of the freezer for dinner tonight, all the fresh food has been eaten. The online shop is waiting to be completed, then a walk, some crochet whilst listening to my book, and that will be it for the day.

Wishing everyone a peaceful day.

Good Morning from the Scottish Borders where our snow is catching up on Perthshire's! It's still falling gently. So glad I got to the vaccine appointment yesterday.
One woman hadn't managed in the morning due to snow and car problems but they had fitted her in at around my time. It was quite busy but a lovely Weegie nurse (I thought of Marydoll and Kalu) gave me the Pfizer and I have no ill effects so far unless you count being awake half the night.

I am sick sorry Marydoll about your tooth on top of everything else.
Glad you are feeling better Nankate
Thanks for the vision of the farm sheepandcattle

Yoga on zoom and that's all I have planned today. apart from knitting and potting.

Have the best day you can everyone.

.

Good Morning everyone from blue and sunny ?? where today I must wash some curtains and hope to buy some pots for the garden. Sadly some cracked ones which have been wired together have given up the fight, so a little garden potter later.

I’m very tempted to say ‘Hell’s Teef’, Mary, but poor little you, it’s far from funny. You’ll need to find the strength to get what you need - and pronto. Excuse no buck-passing, or inaction and maybe your DH will feel a bit better by helping you get some urgent attention. Fingers crossed you’ll arrange what you need today and you’ll be less stressed very quickly. x ?
Lovely photos, sheep - who can’t love a Border Collie, especially one with a glamorous assistant. ?

Bad weather facing lots of you plucky folk again today. Do please take care and stay (carefully) on your feet! Hope your blood test results are good, Urms. If all else fails, please remember it’s fixable - especially for someone focused like you. ?

Hugs and good wishes to struggling or sad Grans. Have a positive day, everyone - one day it’ll all be in the past, you’ll see. ?. See you tomorrow. Stay well.
?‍♀️??

Good morning from North Yorkshire. The sun is out now. It was snowing half an hour ago.
Marydoll I hope you get a dental appointment today that fits in with your trip to the hospital.
Just had my overnight oats for breakfast. It’s becoming very popular.
Laundry and housework for me this morning then perhaps a short walk if the snow doesn’t get any worse.
Take care everyone and stay safe.

Mooring everyone. Goodness MaryDoll I cannot believe what is happening to you, I do hope you can find a kind dentist to sort you out quickly. Lovely photos sheep I am glad the dog and cat are there to keep an eye on proceedings!

We found water all over the utility room floor this morning, with the cats paddling around in it, and no idea whether it is coming from the boiler or the work on the shower above. What ever it is, I fear it will prove expensive!

Good morning from the Sefton coast where it is -1 and there is a light dusting of snow.
Mick and Marydoll, it’s good news that you have appointments for the vax. Time for another letter about improving the service you receive, M? ?you get to visit a dentist ASAP.
After my vax yesterday I had a ‘reward’ of some tulips. Feeling upbeat and ignoring DH’s advice to ‘take it easy’, I finally managed to make some edible scones! The previous rocks, formerly hidden in the freezer, are now anchoring the bin! Even in a gale it wouldn’t move.
Thoughts go to those who are wobbly and unwell. Have the best day you can everyone. x

Great pictures this morning, but so sorry for Marydoll’s dental disaster - rotten luck at any time but particularly hard just now. Do hope a solution is found quickly.

No snow but very cold. We have a chair company bringing a rise and recline chair for DH to try. This apparently counts as a medical aid and so is permitted. The house will be freezing with windows opened but worth the effort.

Thinking of the ill and the anxious, the child minders and the shoppers, and hoping we all have an OK day.

Good morning from a cold Black Country where it is snowing quite heavily.

Mum rang yesterday saying her Liquidiser and conked, so I ordered one for her, as she makes a lot of soup. It is ready to collect now from Sainsburys, but it will have to wait till the snow has gone. My friend in Stamford sent a photograph last night, the snow there is at least 6 inches.

Glad you have recovered from your Stomach bug NanKate that kind of pain can be very debilitating.

I do so hope you can get a Dental appointment soon Marydoll sending you lots of love

Wishing you all a good and safe day

Good morning from.central Lanarkshire. Well we did get some snow last night , just a few inches. Hope to go out later for a walk with our dog as he really loves snow!

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a sunny South Yorkshire, but with a light covering of snow on the ground. Not as much as we was forecast though. We ventured out yesterday but underneath the snow, the mud was liquid and we gave up as it got pretty treacherous. Not sure what today will bring apart from the final stages of decorating GS’s cake and wrapping his presents.
Thankyou for the photos of your ladies and their calves, Sheep, and of your 2i/c and his mate!
Have the best day you can folks.

“We was forecast”? Slapped wrist time!

Not sure about using the garden lounger today??? ❄️❄️❄️

Good morning from Staffordshire.I wasn’t sure we would get here today as heavy snow forecast but so far so good.I will be happy when we are safely home tonight.DH wants to do the supermarket shop on the way home so we don’t have to go out again this week.Good plan but it will be a long day.

DGS is three next week but as it is half term we aren’t needed for childcare support so we are having a pre birthday day today.

Mary, I am so sorry you are having tooth trouble and hope you get an appointment today.Also that you are able to attend your other medical appointments.?

NanKate, my son in law had the Astra Zeneca vaccine last week and had 24 hours sickness after it so possibly you could have had a reaction too.Glad you are feeling better.

Thinking of Auntieflo, Georgesgran and all others with illness and worries.
