Good Morning Friday

One of DD's winter wonderland photos.

A late good morning all from Morecambe Bay. There’s no new frost, no wind and no rain but I suspect it’s still cold. We went for a walk yesterday. The canal was frozen solid, with a smattering of snow. In one bit the ducks had cleared the snow but we’re all slip sliding on the ice. So amusing to watch them.
We walked further than planned and I was exhausted. DH went on ahead and returned in the car for me leaving me to enjoy a cup of tea and a sandwich on the sea wall from a take away cafe. He managed to do something painful to his back while getting out of the car and spent the night groaning every time he turned over in bed. Hopefully it will ease as the day goes on.
Take care stay safe everyone?

Urmstongran, what a coincidence.6 degrees of separation indeed!

I will tell mum about your friend when I speak to her tomorrow.Mum and dad got to know the Campbells quite well,I wonder if she knew your friend.

Good Morning all from the Scottish Borders where it is minus 6 but sunny and no wind yet

I love the daffs Grannygravy Thanks and for all the photos people post on here. I love Cumbria Happyme. and I have been invited to have a holiday there with DS's family in DiL's family static caravan if we ever get out of the lockdown/snow/pandemic.

I shop every day Urmston. I can't carry too much shopping but it is also a reminder that there really are people out there. We have a community shop who are ultra careful, masks and distancing, one-way system is compulsory, and it's ideal for me and others who live alone.

Sorry to hear you are unwell again Elizabeth1 I hope the antiBs kick in soon and what a shame about the vaccine nurse breaking her wrist.

I lost my phone yesterday and thought it had fallen out of a pocket while out walking in the snow. I was bereft! and tried to retrace my steps but no luck so I phoned DD on the landline and she told me to go on this website Find my device which can locate it even when it's on silent - it was.
It turned up in the laundry basket. I wonder who put it there?

baubles, Marydoll

Kung hei, fat choi from me in a bright and sunny Derby.

This is the Year of the Ox. The Ox is strong, stubborn, patient and determined; so he is well equipped to deal with 2021 and its challenges.

Wishing everyone a peaceful and positive day.

Good morning all, cold and windy here in Lancashire today. There’s no ice or frost about and no rain or snow forecast. I will be tackling the laundry today.

Hi still off work another week to go then back everything open again. I miss my little children but thinking it could of been one of them that brought the COVID in make s me a little apprehensive of going back. However on a lighter note my sister is getting her jab at 11am and I feel so pleased for her. Asked her if there’s a spare going tell them I’m only ten minutes away?. Hope all are well and keeping busy I lie. Reading your chats and. It keeps my spirit up!

Good Morning all from Harrogate where the sun shines, there is still snow lying, but not much. DH has decided we have to take the car out for a run - Hurrah!! I am going out!! Might even dare to go into a shop!! Need some bits I didn't get from Sainsburies yesterday. Was going to do more baking, but would rather go out!!
You are lucky you know when no 2 Vaccine is Marydoll, neither DH or myself have a clue when ours will be. Glad you are getting your dentistry sorted.
Finishd watching "The Stranger" on Netflix yesterday, very exciting. Didn't know til the last episode who done it!
What lovely photos you have posted today - those icy ones would make lovely impressionist pictures, Kitty

Hope everyone is feeling better than they were - Tomorrow is another day

Harris27 that’s how I got by jab, I am 63 and when The Husband went for his (70) he asked if they had a waiting list for left over vaccine at the end of the day they did and he added my name...........hey presto 8 days later I got the call ?

Good morning Mick and everyone

Wonderful pictures, kittylester, thank you for sharing them, and everyone else too, for your winter wonderland photos and for the spring daffodils.
It's been very dry here in S Wales so we have no snow or icicles, it's just very cold but bright and sunny today.

Ashcombe we saw the pictures of the Dartmoor fire on TV - I was reading about it afterwards and apparently they can start spontaneously if there is an extremely cold and dry wind but it does seem very odd, doesn't it. I hope they manage to put them out before too much damage is done.

I hope you feel better later on today Marydoll - the one thing I found after having the vaccine, apart from a slight headache and sore arm, is that I feel very tired, keep nodding off and sleeping all night too.

Grammaretto I hope it hadn't gone through the washing machine on a hot cycle!

Kind thoughts to everyone who is under the weather ???

Good morning from a bright chilly Glasgow. I had another rubbish sleep last night, goodness knows why but my body clock has no pattern now. Sleep when I sleep and wake when I wake, no point in bothering about it.

Our excitement for today is that DH is having his jag today! Almost feel we should be having a celebration to mark the occasion ??

‘The Stranger’ is on my, to watch list and could be tonight’s viewing.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Just popped out to Waitrose, the wind has a bite , mind you missing seeing one persons posts on here although have made communication.
Mick

Callistemon the phone was in the ironing pile. It hadn't done the ironing.
It is a smart phone but there are limits.

Yes I think of Gillybob too Mick, every Friday

Good morning from the Sefton coast where it is sunny but cold. Love the photos. Sending comfort to those with worries and wobbles. Have the best day you can everyone. ⛄️?

Good morning all,

Greyduster has our forecast spot on. The stronger breeze is certainly making it feel cooler - I'm pleased that my car had its MOT yesterday and not today, as I had to walk home when I dropped it off and walk back to collect it. The walk was lovely yesterday, refreshing. I rather think it would have been less so today, despite the sunshine.

So pleased to read that so many of you are getting your first vaccine. I've a way to wait yet, but the day will come.

Just a few general household chores to do today. I've already cleaned the bathroom, apart from the floor which is my next job after my coffee.

There are some beautiful photos today, thank you to all the posters who have posted them.

It beggars belief if those fires were started deliberately - though sadly it happens. I have to ask why? What pleasure do these idiots get from destroying landscape and killing wildlife and plant life through their despicable actions? I suppose I'd be a wealthy woman if I could answer that.

Well, I'll go and make that coffee now, and wish you all the best day possible and hope that those of you feeling unwell or anxious, have a better day ahead.

Grammaretto wouldn't that be good!

Grammaretto that's a wonderful app isn't it! It reminds me of the saga when I needed it to find mine. After having been in Perth with my DD, I drove home (one hour +) to discover I'd lost my phone. My land line wasn't working, so I drove 30 minutes to my niece so that she could phone DD for me to tell her what had happened. I then drove to DD's - another hour - by which time she'd located my phone using that app. So we all (DGDs came too) piled into her car down to Perth (another 30 mins) and found it in the now empty multi-storey car park! Next time I'll be sure to lose it in the laundry basket!!

Good Morning Friday! Will you bring me more forgetfulness of that unpleasant disagreement with the neighbour? I hope so. Friday is a whole day later than Thursday a day nearer my death. Funny how that does not worry me!

Alexa are you okay?

Hi everyone good afternoon! Late as usual! in my defence gransnet email doesn’t appear till late morning. Absolutely freezing cold here in my part of Liverpool wind is blowing but the sun is out. Have grandson today as part of our childcare duties. DH has just taken him out for a bike ride while I finish prepping tea for tonight.
Oh dear Alexa hope ur ok x

I'm also puzzled and worried by your post, Alexa.

Oh dear, have you had an upset with a neighbour, Alexa?
I hope you're ok, it's too easy to brood on it especially at the moment if you have no-one to discuss it with.

I bring good news! My friend's grandaughter has had a 9lb 5oz baby. Mum and baby as well as can be expected. Thank you all for all your prayers and good wishes. In the excitement, I forgot to ask if it was a boy or girl.
