Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark, but its gradually brightening up also dry and cold out there , I also look out of my window and see daffodils growing.
Today , a double dose of cycling on Eurosport plus for a change I have decided to have a fried breakfast for a change today, and tomorrow.
Hopefully my brother will pick me up so I can have my first jab today .
Compared to 3 weeks ago , I am beginning to feel more myself .
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning from a sunny NE where it is 4 degrees.
Someone is talking loudly under my bedroom window, looked out and two neighbours are standing about 6 inches apart without masks. One is a demolition man who drives the works van of employees to jobs and the other is an ambulance driver, wouldn't you think they would know better ?
Long telephone conversation with my sister yesterday afternoon, bit one sided really as she is the only one who goes out and visits other people.
Watched the whole series of The Bay yesterday, I am becoming a couch potato.
The moon was brilliant last night, wonderful to look at.
Enjoy the weekend.

Sorry for the two posts, not sure why that happened.?

In my thoughts Georgesgran ?

Good morning from Durham.

A brief update to those GN’s who have PMd me and others keeping us in their thoughts.

DH is bedbound now. He is sleeping and not eating. I’ve discovered we have an amazing GP who has (long story) stepped in and sorted out so many issues.

Just a matter of time now.

Good morning from North Yorkshire. Alexa tells me it is 7degrees here.
Busy day yesterday in the garden cutting a shrub down and mowing the lawn. A kind neighbour let me borrow his green bin.
I also booked my jab for 2 weeks time in a nearby town. My GP is now doing second jabs for the over 90s so can’t offer mine even though I am 65.
Bluesapphire sending you flowers for today.
Hope everyone has a good day. Stay safe.

Good Morning all. A sharp frost but beautiful blue sky here in N. Bucks.
Wattsapp calls from my 3 DDs yesterday. We are all so looking forward to being able to meet in the garden by April. Hopefully one at a time after next week for a walk.
Local food shop this morning and a walk along the riverbank.
Feeling brighter this morning so will also make a list of jobs to be done in the garden over the next few weeks.
Hoping you all find a ? today.

Good morning to you all from a chilly Lueneburg.
I just had to get this out early: I found some crumpets. As I searched for some bread in my large chest freezer in the cellar, right at the bottom, I came across a packet of crumpets from Tesco. I had bought them on my last visit to England in February 2020. What excitement. They are just as good, if not better, than the ones I make. Another 8 days of pleasure at breakfast.
I have been busy in the garden (It`s too large for one person), so I really have to find something smaller. My gardener is coming about midday - he can`t get going before then.

He is going to finish some painting in the hall and toilet. He also does all manner of odd jobs. I have to drive to the next village to get some more paint first.

Later I play virtual bridge in a club in Cambridge. Technology is marvelous , if only I was as good as some of you - especially Marydoll.

I read all your news every day - I love to hear (amongst other things) what you are cooking. The english cooking has soo changed since I came to Britain as an au pair girl 1963. You are now making meals of which I have not heard.

I wish you all happiness and if you have illness and worries may they disappear.
Take care.

Good morning everyone from a very frosty and bright East Northants. I am staying at DD's (my bubble) this weekend for the first time since Christmas, and it is so nice to be back in company, and to see the dogs again.

Three years ago today I lost my darling DH, and can't believe how quickly those years have gone by - apart from this last Covid year which seems to have gone on for ever. Much missed by all the family, but I'm sure we will be raising a glass to him at some time today. I expect that wherever he is, he will be joining us in spirit, and raising his glass of Famous Grouse!

Hospital appointment for an ECG this morning, which DD is kindly taking me to. This is as a result of my visit to the GP back in November when I had a trapped nerve; she had a listen to my heart and detected a heart murmur, so referred me. After 3 months I thought they had forgotten me!

Then back here to watch the rugby, and then I think we are having fish and chips tonight. I may start on my new cardigan, but the instructions look very complicated.

Glad you are feeling better Mick and hope all goes well with your jab today.

Looking forward to seeing pictures of the baby guinea pigs.

Have the best Saturday.

Good Morning everyone from a frosty Severnside. The sunshine is streaming through the bedroom window and makes me feel good.

I have got into a muddle with the days too Mattie thinking it was Saturday yesterday.

My weeding went well and I just have the drive by the side of the house and the border by the front wall to do and I shall be happy.

Have the best day you can all ?

Good morning all from a bright, frosty S Hants. Mick good you’re improving and getting your jab today, enjoy your fry up. NanKate not the best or most comfortable way to lose weight, here’s hoping the consultant provides some magic and for MrGG a successful few days at the end of next week.I’ve got to sort out some blackout curtains/blinds for our bedroom, it faces east and as soon as it’s light I’m wide awake, however tired I am, MrJ is still happily snoozing. I was so glad to see Gogglebox back last night, it makes me laugh and cheers Friday evenings. Today no real plans, sport on the TV, a walk and frittata for dinner. We’ve sent our friend some flowers as she lost one of their dogs a few days ago.
Have a sun shiney day all.

Susan56 Sat 27-Feb-21 07:43:57

Good morning from Shropshire.Another sunny day forecast.

It was very quiet in our little town yesterday but lovely wandering round the market.Saw a couple of people we know which was nice,

A garden day today I think.

Thinking of Georgesgran and her husband,Auntieflo and all with anxieties and illness.

Have a good day all.

brook2704 Sat 27-Feb-21 07:38:19

Good morning everyone from Inverness where we’ve got a dry sunny day planned, with the temperature forecast to be reaching double figures this afternoon ?
I think I’m meeting DD2 later and the DGC, I’ve probably said before but she’s such a last minute type of girl and doesn’t plan ahead, she’ll just message later if she wants to meet up.
Looking forward to meeting Fin and Gus scentia once they’ve got over their shyness!
Pleased to hear you’re feeling better mick and hope your jab goes ok today
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, take care all whatever the day brings ?

Nannagarra Sat 27-Feb-21 07:35:45

Good morning from the Sefton coast where it is 5C and looks quite promising.
We can make really good bread in this house but we have both accepted defeat on the oven bottom muffin front! Ah well, at least the gulls have plenty to eat. grin It’s back to the lightly-floured worktops...
As sheep hasn’t posted for a few days I assume she’s putting in long hours and making sure all her ladies are safely delivered. Frolicking lambs are yet to appear in the fields here.
Will pop back later to read your news. Have the best day you can. ?

Sar53 Sat 27-Feb-21 07:28:30

Good morning from a beautiful, bright and sunny Essex by the sea .
There is frost on the cars but it looks like being another lovely day.
It will be busy here today and tomorrow so we shan't be going far.
There is rugby to watch this afternoon and maybe snooker so DH will be happy.
Enjoy the sun and have a pleasant Saturday xx

Urmstongran Sat 27-Feb-21 07:26:51

I felt exhausted reading all that too Scentia! I’ll have a nip of whatever you’re on thanks. Where do you get all your energy from?

Saturday again! How the weeks fly by. Hope everyone saw the stunning snow moon last night. Weatherman did suggest it might still be around this morning but too many clouds here for me to spot it. However, the prospect of a lovely sunrise is on the horizon. I will watch that evolve with joy. This is my favourite day for radio programmes with tomorrow a close second. Did a stint in the garden yesterday. Decidedly rewarding and good for the soul. The body is having a word with me! Hope everyone has a good day in the simplest of ways.

maydonoz Sat 27-Feb-21 07:22:17

Good morning all from Welwyn, Herts where a beautiful sunrise is just coming up, after that wonderful full moon we had last night. Hopefully it will be sunny again today, like yesterday although it was cold.
Will probably cook sausages with cabbage for supper, but I may set aside a few sausages for sausage rolls to try out my ready puff pastry.
Wishing you all a restful Saturday.

cornergran Sat 27-Feb-21 07:22:14

Morning Mick, morning All. A frosty, clear start to our corner of Somerset. So pleased we have more sunshine forecast.

Yesterday’s foray in the garden was satisfying and enjoyable. Today it’s more of the same after taking the results of yesterday’s labours to the tip, too many large branches for our collection service. Much cake remains from Mr C’s birthday so the exercise is definitely needed.

Good news you will have your jab today mick. Hope you are comfortable today after your dental traumas marydoll.

Take care everyone. Hope Saturday is gentle with us all.

Scentia Sat 27-Feb-21 07:21:46

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it is a bit chilly.
The little guinea pigs arrived safely, I try to take a photo but the are currently hiding in a tube, the lady said I need to give them a day to settle in before I handle them too much. Fin and Gus they are called. Photos to follow!!
Patio has been cleared of moss and weeds, my new washing line is getting its first trial in a bit and I am off to pick up my new water feature just as soon as I have been to get some vegetables, dropped suitcases off for DFiL and been to measure the new curtains at DGS window before I hem them.
Ooh I am a bit tired just writing all that?
Take care everyone and stay safe and enjoy the sunshine ☀️

Urmstongran Sat 27-Feb-21 07:19:49

Good morning everyone from South Manchester where the sun is coming up behind the Pennines. Another sunny day is forecast which means we will be able to meet up in the park with daughter, son in law and the smalls. Himself has stored his new bicycle & helmet in their garage so we will walk there first as he and our grandson have their own circuit planned!

Other than that - not much. There’s rugby and football for Himself. I shall read and phone a couple of friends for a catch up chat. Takeaway curry is our Saturday night treat.

Hope Saturday is kind to us all. Glad you’re getting your jab today Mick and that you’re starting to feel more yourself. Looking forward to a photo of the baby guinea pigs in a bit Scentia! Keep safe everyone that’s the main thing. x
