Good Morning Thursday

Good to see you EV. Are you sharing those crumpets?

Lovely to hear from you EV I have been keeping up the crumpet tradition in your absence.

Gingster I wasn’t there, no idea about the Cockerell, to be fair the churchyard is falling into the pub car park which is a far more pressing problem than a weather vane!!!

Happy birthday MrCorner ???

Good morning Mick, Annie, and all.
Another nothing day here at FloTowers, but something will turn up no doubt.
Like Aggie, I am still not dressed, but what's the rush? I have to catch up on my emails and GN before anything else, don't I?
Yesterday's run out in the car re-charged her battery. On our circuitous route, we passed the old Transport and Road Research Lab, and it is now a huge housing development.
Afterwards I was able to get in the garden for an hour.
Lovely just pottering. Even DH noticed that some of the weeds were missing from the 'lawn'. It's artificial, but still manages to produce a smattering of weeds every year. One of my pots that I planted up, lasagne style, last autumn, is doing it's best to produce hyacinth heads.
Well done Scentia, for finding a new home for your FIL. What a nightmare for you.
Marydoll, steady on now, too much excitement, what with vouchers to spend and all.
In Sept, it will be our 60th wedding anniversary, but with all the restrictions, I haven't had any inclination to try and book a celebration. DD is asking what we will be doing? Son't know yet. Any thoughts welcome.
Must go and get ready to face the rest of the day, so have a good day folks. Till tomorrow.

A lovely bright day here in the Southside of Glasgow.

Thrilled to see the return of EV.

Lovely to see you Ellan☺️

EV you are back! ?

I too am made up to see EV back and know that she’s well! ???

Auntieflo
If you are so inclined, don’t forget to organise a card from The Queen.
My D did it for us 2and a half years ago, sadly my H didn’t know what it all meant but enjoyed a glass of vintage champagne gifted to us.
A party was out of the question so I hope you plan and enjoy.

Scentia good you found a new place, it’s tricky, had to do the same for Mum some years ago and excellent someone noticed the missing allowance. Marydoll good luck at the dentist ?.
EV welcome back, you’ve been missed.

Love and hugs to All. ((((x)))) What a welcome !

Of course I'd share my crumpets LauraNorder, anytime.

Good morning Mick and all from a sunny northwest coast. I hope you enjoy your book Mick, it’s good to have an enjoyable book on the go at the moment.
I’m off to the doc re my high blood pressure, handed the chart in last week, so will see what happens. I don’t want to suddenly explode like my father before my time if I can help it.
Apart from that, will brush by the front door and do some drawing. I wish I woke up refreshed in the morning rather than worn out. It makes no difference if I go to bed early or not...
Thoughts to the worried and hope you have a nice day. Will read the entries later.

Hope you're doing alright Auntieflo. Marydoll too. xx

Good morning from the Scottish Borders. A nice Spring day. I was chuckling at your navel DD stillearning but I understood and agree it is interesting when the DC move about the country and you can stay with them and discover new places.
I am trying to work out how I can be in bubbles with 2 DC. I am on my own so I am allowed one but I would like to swap them about. Is that greedy?

It feels like Saturday for some reason. I am losing have lost the plot.

I have shopped and I have had breakfast. Time for second breakfast?

A good late morning to you all. It's a beautiful day in the Gower ☺️.

Had a bit of an odd day yesterday, hardly coming up for air ?. Today is different, so far. I have a dentist appointment this afternoon for a deep clean of my bottom teeth and I hope the dentist emembers that she's meant to be taking an impression of the teeth for my new gumshield first. The appointment can't come too soon as I seem to be developing an abscess behind one of my upper teeth. Epilepsy plays havoc with my teeth ?.
I think I'll be having soup for dinner tonight ?. I hope your trip to the dentist isn't too painful Marydoll.

All this talk about WW2 this morning. I was reading about the 3 day blitz in Swansea the day before yesterday as it is the 80th anniversary of it taking place. My mother was 16 at the time.
Bellasnana I hope having your hair cut helps lift your spirits a little bit ???.
Happy birthday to your DH Cornergran, it sounds like you have a lovely day planned ??
Lovely to have you back with us Ellan ?
What a lovely heirloom Susan. I loved my doll's house when I was little.

Thinking of Georgesgran and Auntieflo and all the missing posters ?
I hope everyone finds at least one ? today ❤️

Ah, there you are Auntieflo ?

I'm popping back to cheer the return of the Crumpet Queen Ellanvannin. Good to see you posting.

Good morning Mick and all.

Hope everyone's deliveries arrive safely (including the lambs).
Hope everyone's appointments are successful.

Mya is well on the road to recovery now. Looking at my diary, it's taken her nearly 7 weeks. So pleased with this new food. Just order a 15kg bag for her. Local pet store don't sell the large bags so it's an on line order.

Ground Hog Day: 'The hotel on Bryher have emailed to sort out our booking for April. I need to hear from the dog creche but this will be our third attempt to get to Brhyer to celebrate my 70th Birthday.

Good to see your post EV. I love my Hotter walking shoes. Their sizing is the best. I take a 9 (43) and Hotter are spot on for me.

Glorious weather today in Cornwall. Wish I was able to drive to the coast but must stay local. Soon - I keep telling myself.

Off to fill up the bird feeders and then finish the Sainsbug delivery for tomorrow. Hoping MrM gets cracking with repairing the digger now it looks like we have a run of good weather. We need lots of trenches dug.

Popping back tonight to see what everyone's been up to.

Good morning just from sunny Devon, lovely blue sky & white clouds although showers are threatened for this afternoon.

Need to pop out to local shop for a couple of bits. Day without a medical appointment, going 3 times a week to have my leg dressing changed. Medical appointments are ruling my life at the moment but it's preferable to being in Hospital (11 days in January).

for all who are struggling with health issues

Have the best day you can everybody

Good morning. Cloudy and dull here in W Sussex but birds are chirping away outside.

I brought the ironing board downstairs into the living room so that I could iron while watching the birds through the patio doors. That was about six weeks ago. I finally did some ironing yesterday! There’s not even much to do here - a couple of shirts, some tea towels, a tablecloth, a summer blouse - so why is it so hard to do it?

Love to hear Scottish words and phrases so hearing that SNP may be “handed their jotters” on Today this morning was a joy. Not that I want that to happen - please don’t take this as a political statement on this peaceful thread!

Hope your meat arrives safely Mick and that your book is interesting.

So relieved to see you back, EV, and in good form. I’ve missed you.

Just popped in to see all the goings-on, (or not as the case may be!) and so pleased to see EV has posted this morning-so a quick 'Hello' to you Ellan I'm glad you're alright and still enjoying your crumpets .
I was up earlier than normal this morning so all my housework 'jobs' for today were completed by 11.30 and so I'm now at a loose end ... a reasonable excuse I think for why I don't normally rise with the lark .
Since retiring I find that 8.30am is early enough- to pinch your phrase Urmston I think I rather enjoy being a #lazygran. Have as good a day as you can folks x.

I wish I could see / meet you all, such kind people. I do think about you all.

That's a first-I managed to post before midday a positive for early rising perhaps?

Hey * EV* wouldnt it be lovely if we could organise a couple of 'charas' (as my Grandma would have said!) from various locations around the UK and sort out a road trip to Liverpool-once its safe and we're 'free' to do so? Might only ever be a pipe dream but its a good one.
I was born and brought up in the NW of England and had many a Sunday outing with my parents and brother in the car to Southport or Liverpool/going through the Mersey tunnel. Happy childhood times.

The post above should say EV in bold but I left a space between the * and the E. Right I'll shut-up now...
