Good Morning Thursday

grandMattie. Everyone has a purpose, if you think you haven’t, you just haven’t found it yet.❤️❤️

Good morning to you all from a wet Torbay but we hope for brighter skies later. (a bit like life at the moment!)

I hope grandMattie will appear soon with an update on Iris, who has been on my mind. Ah, she just has! Good to hear the latest on Iris and I think you have a very purposeful life, grandMattie!

Yesterday, I enjoyed my regular Zoom meeting with amdram friends (imaginatively known as Wednesday Club!) and they welcomed back DH after he’s missed a few sessions due to flaky WiFi. He donned a bow tie in honour of the occasion!

I have a Click and Collect from Asda at 9.00am so had better get a wiggle on! A reason to go out beyond my immediate locale is welcome, although it’s only a couple of miles.

Have the best day you can, everyone, and take it gently if recovering from the vaccination. ?

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it is warmer than of late and quite windy.
I got the nod to book my vaccine yesterday so I am booked in for Tuesday morning. I am only 53 with a mild underlying condition so I can’t help but think that the reason we are flying through the vaccine program in our town is that we have a very large BAME (?) community and people are not taking it up, I would like to know the facts on that.?

Work today and back to the busy grindstone after my day off yesterday.
I hope everyone can find a smile today and has the best day possible?❤️

Good morning all from North Leicestershire. The weather is quiet and not too cold.

We gave a few things to do this morning: collecting some curtains that have been altered, dropping off some books at my friend's house, collecting the ones she will have left out for me, going to the egg farm and getting back in time for a Sainsbury's delivery. Riveting stuff!

Sending love and strength to everyone with worries today.

Thank you for all your news sheep, your life is so much more worthwhile than people like me, living on the fringes of a town, having no real purpose.

Good morning fro E Kent, grey and damp this morning. We’re promised wind later. I wish the weather would be a bit sunnier ☀️, it does lift the spirits up!
Iris’ operation took about 2 hours and she’s back on the ward; a bit groggy and wobbly but fine. I’ll let you know more when I know myself. Thank you for your prayers, they mean so much to us.
Market day today. Might get some meat from the farmer, flowers from another stall. Nothing day again.
May today bring relief to all who need it. Stay safe. ???❤️

Good morning from Essex by the sea where it is wet and windy.
Apart from a sore, heavy feeling arm, I am ok now.
Supermarket day today, I just like to get it over and done with as quickly as possible.
I hope Iris' operation went well and that she will be home soon.
Enjoy your day whatever you get up to and stay safe xx

Good morning Mick and all from a rainy, dark Wiltshire. Yesterday I finished getting one half of the lambing shed finished so the ewes due in the first week of lambing (the ‘yellow bums’ due to the colour of the raddle used on the rams for the first week of tupping) have all come in, along with all the triplet-baring ewes. I think they were pretty glad to get in out of the rain and muddy fields.
Amy the cow calved yesterday - she’s a good old girl so popped it out with no fuss and the calf was on its feet and suckling within 15 minutes - that’s the way to do it! I hope the ewes were taking note!!!
Today I need to get our little caravan cleaned and kitted out as, once the lambs start arriving, I’m off on my holidays............ 2 weeks caravanning in the lambing shed! ? I need to be on hand to check on the ewes throughout the night as I have no night-time help due to Covid this year so it’s easier to move in with the sheep than to have to keep going backward and forwards to the farmyard. I’ll post a photo of my ‘des res’ in due course! No doubt I’ll have the company of the odd lamb in there at times!
Thank you for the kind comments I’ve had from grans that are enjoying hearing about farming life. It’s nice to be able to share the good news and bad from the farm.
Wishing you all a happy, if damp, day. Roll on the sun!

Morning Beechnut. I was in Beech house at Grammar school so am always reminded of that when I spot your posts!

Morning Mick, Pantglas and all who follow from a mildish south coast - 9.8c at 6am. Forecast showers this morning then this afternoon - at last!

Busy day yesterday with everything on the agenda done and dusted. Today is back to normal with waiting for something to turn up. I do have some admin to do so will knuckle down to that when DH goes for a bike ride with his chum.

Hope Iris is recovering well from her latest op and is soon home again. Thinking of Gilly still and our other missing GNs.

Have as good a day as possible everyone. Spring is most definitely on its way.

Good Morning all from Severnside. Although it’s warmer rain is falling and will not be a nice day.

Bed changing and cleaning with a slow cooker meal to do for later. I keep having that advert for Quorn as my ear worm. The man who changes his mind from meat and veg to liking Quorn and veg.

I started to feel out of sorts just after teatime so I went and changed into my nightie and dressing gown and took some paracetamol. So far this morning I feel better apart from my arm feeling a little heavy. Hope all went well for your vax Urm and the same for anyone else having theirs.

Take care everyone ?

Good morning Mick from a very wet north Wales- norty LauraNorder has sent me her island rain ☔️ - how kind......haven’t seen her here for a while either ?‍♀️

Finishing off the kitchen today so that I can cook proper meals from scratch rather than the freezer diving meals I’ve cobbled together for the last few days!

Hope little Iris op went well and more of you have your jabs - I’m already looking forward to my second!

Will pop along later to read about your bizziness x
