Good Morning Sunday

Lovely to see you back Lins?
Happy birthday???enjoy your meal?

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Happy Mothering Sunday to all x

A beautiful morning for Mothering Sunday. I don’t usually see my AC on this day in normal times, so today is no different. I have flowers and will speak to them both, so am content.

Otherwise nothing much to say, so,I won’t waste space saying it. Hope all of you seeing mums, children and grandchildren have a lovely day.

Good morning from a very windy NE.
Beautiful bouquet arrived yesterday from DD in Belgium with a promise of a video call today.
DS says he is coming to visit and will bring food then it will be an essential journey. I have told him that he can not enter the house or go anywhere near his dad.
Hope your day is special in these difficult times.

Morning all from a sunny but still cool south coast.3.1c on my weather station at 6am. At least the winds have eased. I'm not keen on strong winds either sheep.

DH's first full day back home, yesterday, was not without incident but we knew that might be the case. He is up and showered now and we hope for each day to bring more improvement. My anxiety levels are now simmering rather full blast. After the last awful year we have had, suddenly today I feel as if I have aged 10 years.

I received a beautiful flower arrangement from DD yesterday - and a phone call from DS last night. He is not a hearts and flowers man but is good at checking in to see how his Dad is doing and always to see how I am coping. He is a real rock for me.

DD was very excited to tell me yesterday that she was volunteering at our local vaccination centre in the afternoon. She couldn't wait to be with real people again instead on online (she has been working from home for months). She was even more excited later, to report that she had been offered, and had the jab as there was some vaccine left over and she is in the 40s age range, so not due for hers officially for a while yet.

Hope the day is a good one for us all.

Happy Birthday Lins Enjoy your special day! ?????

I meant to say, that is a lovely blanket Ashcombe. I always used to want a knitted blanket but now I think a crocheted one would be much lighter.

Good Morning all, it’s bright and sunny. Happy Mother’s Day to all who are celebrating today. It’s not celebrated in Portugal until May but DDs are in England so I have cards that I must go and open before they phone. I’ll keep my cards in a safe place and celebrate again in May. Have a good day all.
Bellas and corner, thinking of you.

Thank you Urm xx

Good morning from a sunny bit of S Lanarkshire, I’m going to your damp bit later baubles so get it organised please?!
Happy Mother’s Day everyone, what a beautiful gift Ashcombe, a real compliment I think.
Happy Birthday Lins1066, and I hope we all can find a ?somehow today.
I’m going to hand in a small gift to my neighbour who doesn’t have children but who has definitely ‘mothered’ me with kindness over the last year. Feeling thankful.

Morning Mick, morning All from a sunny and much less windy corner of Somerset.

Good luck today and tomorrow bellasnana, the before part is definitely the least pleasant of the whole process. My covid test was taken in a wet and windy car park with me safely in the car and the poor tester getting soaked. Felt so sorry for her.

There are cards waiting for me and flowers already here. Mr C will bring a small breakfast when he wakes up . Fish for me and steak for him later today. 30 years ago I sat with my Mum on Mothering Sunday as she was dying, it’s always a mixed day for me no matter the date.

A very happy birthday to lins. Your meal plans sound ideal. That blanket is lovely ashcombe, no risk of me producing anything like that. I’m sorry covid is active in your granddaughters school marydoll, we’re on a worry roller coaster for sure.

It seems Mr C is stirring so a cuppa will be on its way followed by breakfast.

Look after yourselves everyone, although. a mixed day for many I hope the day is kind to us all

Godd morning Mick and all from a dry, high cloud S Hants. I had to get up as I’m dropping the GC’s breakfast bits to prepare my DD her special breakfast, could happily have had a lie in, always the way. Said DD and children doorstep dropped a card yesterday with beautiful flowers delivered later, along with my ‘Vera’ hat DS sent on Thursday, I’m happy.
Happy Birthday Lins. May your ‘oscopies’ soon be over and done with ladies. A special blanket for a special person Ash.
Enjoy our Mother’s Day all, whatever (probably not a lot) you’re doing.

Wishing you a Happy Birthday Lins enjoy your meal ??

Good morning, the sun is almost shining in Leicestershire.

I have had flowers, cocktails and cards from my two. Those of you who can visit children and parents are so lucky. I will have to wait until May! I cannot visit Mum as one of the carers has Covid!

I shall conpensate by going walking with a friend.

Happy Birthday Lins

Good morning from a brighter Black Country,

Bringing Mum over today for dinner. MrJan is cooking her favourite meal, Hand Battered Fish and chips. Usually we all go over to DD's on Mothers Day or go out for a meal. She always orders Fish and Chips, just like her Mum used to do . Last year I couldn't even go into her house, just spoke through the open window and left her gifts in the porch. I have made a Mars Bar Mousse for dessert!

Happy Birthday Lins

Wishing you all a pleasant day

Great to see you posting again this morning Lins ?
? Happy birthday to you ... happy birthday to you ? ? ??

Good luck for tomorrow Bellasnana, yep the prep, yuk ?, is worse than the procedure. I hope your anxiety subsides when it's all done and dusted.

Enjoy your day with your mother Susan and I wish the same for everyone else who are able to see loved ones today.

Happy birthday Linn's ?

A Very Happy Birthday to Lins. Have a lovely day x

Good morning Mick, morning all from damp South Lanarkshire.

We, the Royal we that is, painted the kitchen yesterday so today I’ll be finding and cleaning up all the little splashes and smears. Roast pork for us today. Rugby on the box, I’ll keep half an eye on it while I’m crocheting and that will pass another day.

Beautiful photos of lambs, blankets and flowers this morning, very cheering.

Wishing everyone a peaceful Mothering Sunday.

Good Morning All x.
A bright enough start to the day and thankfully the winds have abated, though last night as I went to bed I could hear it was whipping up again with rain lashing at the front door area.
The cats were already snuggled up on top of the bed as I eased myself in.

What a fabulous blanket Ashcombe, a clever and thoughtful everlasting gift.

Mick I wondered how you'd get on with your contraption as regards the sleeping part of it being there. It's not for long now until they can see what the next move will be.

I wish both Bellasnanna and cornergran well too.

I expect D to call in later which has never failed on Mother's Day. Also, thinking back I've had deliveries of flowers on a Sunday from stepD and D in Oz.
I'd bought a couple of bunches of Daffs when I was at M&S on Thursday, they were more or less closed buds then and now they're nearly all opened and are two different kinds, so beautiful ( £1 a bunch ! )

Beef cooked yesterday and I actually made an orange drizzle cake, to which there's a large chunk of it gone
Spring cabbage and roast pots. then another piece of cake, that'll do me.

My word I had a sleepy day yesterday. Nodded off in the afternoon and still felt dozy until I went to bed and that was it until 7am. I didn't like that feeling at all, but I'm okay and ready for the crumpets. Fancy being so tired doing nothing ?

I mustn't leave it too late getting washed and dressed in case I'm caught short still in my dressing gown when D calls, so I'll get my breakfast and wish you all a happy day on this, our day.
Thinking of those estranged x and also those with a weight on their minds with worry or illness x for all.

Stay safe and well everyone xx

Happy Mothering Sunday everyone, from a wet ( again) Glasgow.

Yesterday I had a surprise visit from Dollie, DD1 and DIL with flowers and chocolates. She was in top form, full of mischief and nonsense. However, as three local schools have new Coronovirus cases in the infant classes and a now child in Dollie's class, a fourth school, has a sibling who has tasted positive, my son kept her at the bottom of the drive. It's very worrying, when we were hoping for an easing of restrictions.

Last night I received the most beautiful, pink themed bouquet from DD and SIL, despite them having already given me other gifts earlier in the day.
I'm hoping to hear from DS2 later. He was born on Mothering Sunday, but often forgets Mothering Sunday. He has a special place in my heart, having twice suffered anaphylaxis and we never expected him to grow up to be a six foot, red bearded, strapping Highlander!
Not not prone to displays of emotion, I do know he loves his old mum. I think he had planned to visit me, (fiancée's influence) not realising that he still can't, because it means crossing county lines. ?
Ashcombe, to put such effort into making the blanket, shows how loved you are by your son's partner.

The fairy doors are finished, so hopefully DH can put them up for me. Because they are for Dollie's enjoyment, I can be assured, he will not procrastinate! ?
Another day of pottering, reading the Sunday papers and chilling. I wasn't too well yesterday, so hopefully some rest today is the answer, as tomorrow is the BIG one and a half hour dental appointment. I can't postpone it at this late date, even if I do feel unwell.

Tonight, we are having takeaway, I am refusing to cook! DH says I can choose, (very benevolent of him), so it will be Chinese.

Mick, as someone with a serious heart condition, I'm curious to know what an ESG machine is. I thought I had had a shot of all the machines. Have you thought of getting a smart watch? I am able to track my steps and heart rate and it encourages me to rest when I'm over exerting myself.
It will be worth all the discomfort of wearing a monitor to get a better picture of what is happening with your heart, especially as actually getting hospital appointments is still problematic for many of us.

Thinking of all who who have sorrows today, especially mums who are estranged, today must be a very sad one for you?.
I'm awaiting breakfast in bed, complete with the Sunday papers, brought by DH. Changed days for someone who used to have all the housework done by 9am! ?
Wishing everyone a pleasant Sunday. I'm off to read everyone's posts.

Nice to see you posting again Lins - many happy returns of the day to you! x

Good morning Mck and all goodmorningers and a Happy Mother's Day to all grandmothers, mothers, aunt's, great aunt's, godmothers and child carers ?.
Fickle weather in the Gower this morning, hazy, white cloud, grey cloud and blue sky. The birds in the garden don't seem to mind, they are singing gleefully away ?

Glad you have found a way to sleep with your heart monitor equipment on Mick, not too many nights either. It can be so awkward to find the best position to sleep in, I found that with telemetry equipment. Important to do it though ?

We're actually going to venture out to a supermarket today. I think my WP is going to have to hold my hand whilst we're in there ?. Beef casserole for dinner later and the footie to look forward ??to.

Hope everyone has a good day and finds a bit of cheer, a chuckle or a smile along the way ?. ❤️ to you all.

Good morning and a happy Mother's Day from Essex by the sea where the sun is shining.
I had a beautiful bunch of flowers delivered yesterday from DD2 and I've just opened a box of goodies sent from DD1 plus cards from them both. I'm sure we will chat later.
Love the blanket Ashcombe, how clever some people are.
Good luck to those having 'oscopies ' tomorrow, the prep is always worse than the actual procedure.
Football and rugby later and roast pork for dinner.
Enjoy today and find a ? xx

Ps Ashcombe I love the blanket - lucky you! I’d love to be able to crochet but have never been able to get the hang of it.
