Good Morning Tuesday

Thank you for your warm welcomes! I look forward to posting on this thread.

Happy Birthday dustyangel I hope you’re having a lovely day! ???
A very warm welcome to polly123 and all new posters - so pleased you’ve all joined this lovely friendly thread

Yes indeed guinea pigs do eat radishes. My daughter’s four stole a quantity of them from a bag on the kitchen floor yesterday.

Welcome polly123 I'm another who reads every day but rarely posts also from the West Midlands borders of black country originally from south side.

I haven't posted on here before although I have often read the comments which are always interesting. So I am introducing myself and hope to contribute when I can. I am in the West Midlands and can only describe the weather as pleasant and dry which is not bad for March I suppose. I have been for a long walk and am now forgetting to eat as I get sidetracked by my compulsion to paint (pictures not walls).

Good news about your grandson Ann678, hopefully he comes home soon and makes a good recovery.

Totally agree with your post Taichinan.

Welcome Keeper??

Happy Birthday to you ??? dustyangel enjoy your day.?

Does it still count as it is now Good afternoon,

I have been reading posts on different threads for some time and posted on a few and even managed a meet up pre lockdown obviously with a few other Gransnetters.

So hello from Lincolnshire which has on and off sunshine today. I am working from home and have taken a break for the minutes silence and also thought I would extend the break to pop on to here.

I have been reading at how the Covid pandemic and lockdown has effected people and in a rather odd way have been fortunate that it hasn’t impacted so much on our lives. This is mainly due to my husband’s poor health so we had been unable to go out, holiday etc anyway and although I miss having cuddles with my grandchildren as I work full time I had limited availability to see them. So as I say fortunate in an unfortunate way.

I hope you are all having the best day possible, stay safe and well x

'previous' should read precious of course.

Goodmorning everyone from a cooler but dry NE. Sorry Still earning about your friends son, I know how it feels as my friends lost her only child a couple of years ago in his early 20' she is still feeling it now, I try to be there for her when I can. Good news about my DGS, he didn't need an operation on his leg, he is getting a full cast on today and hopefully he can come home soon. My DD is wondering how he will cope but I think he will either milk it for everything, or he will just get on with things and surprise her. I don't post here very often, but enjoy hearing what everones up to and hoping everyone keeps safe and well.

Coming up to 12 noon and the minute's silence to remember the lives lost due to Covid-19. I feel so grateful that all I lost for that year was my freedom to do what I want when I want and to see the people I love, and that my previous family are all well. It's so tempting to moan, but really I feel so lucky. You?

Good morning Mick , Annie, and all. I somehow completely missed Monday. I had a blood test in the morning , then got a spurt of energy, so we did some housework between us, and I felt very virtuous.

I know it is Tuesday, because the bin men have been, so why am I looking for a Good Morning Wednesday thread ??

We have a funeral at lunch time, one of our lovely Church members, and it is going to be on a video link, so hope DH is on track to find it.

I must go and read yesterday's posts, and also catch up on today's .
So have a good day one and all.

Oldbutstilluseful you'll be pleased to know that no fish men were abducted in my area this morning!

stilllearning , such an awful shock for your friend and family and all who loved and cared about him. I will keep her and you in my thoughts ?
A very sad day for you today hollysteers, and the rest of your cousin's family. I will keep you in my thoughts today ?

Good morning all from Sunny Harrogate
Dwmxwg love your flamingo!!
Stillearning so sorry about your friend's son, most distressing.
Absolutely nothing planned today,, my cooker is working (needs new parts, though)
Have just had a lecture from my daughter, by heck she can make me feel like a naughty child, i did get scammed and should have known better. nuf said.

Just thinking GrandMattie and Sheep, Iris and Pinchy have so much in common and both coping stoically.

Have the best day you can, folks

Spoiler alert Pantglas, big westerly wind coming your way, sorry.

I meant two bay trees, not Laurel.

Good morning Mick and all from a dull Lancashire northwest coast. I hope your procedures go well Mick.
It is my cousins funeral today, but will watch it online due to restrictions. We had a happy time seeing him regularly growing up. First time I have watched a funeral online, so hope I get it right. Later a friend is popping round for a chat and I need to compose a letter of complaint to join my neighbours in our flooding problems.
Yesterday I walked in the park and bought two large plants to put by my front door, don’t know what they are called, but I know they are hollysteers proof, having a brown thumb and not a green finger. I like two laurel trees or similar by a front door, it prettifies it. I was a window dresser (or display artists as we called ourselves?) for a while and although not practical, I can make something look better with a few touches.
My bird station has attracted long tailed tits for the first time.
In this blank period, that’s quite an event!
Will return to enjoy your postings and thoughts to the troubled.

Blue sky but bitterly cold in Cornwall. Good luck with the two appointments Mick.

Thinking of all of you that are missing a birthday or anniversary celebration again during these lock downs. My 70th has been postponed twice now.

Mark, gardener, back today doing more clearing for me. I'm starting to see the edge of the pond. Hoping to get one of the raised beds finished (not full though) before the day finishes. MrM still sawing! I've had a polite moan to the timber company. They will replace any sleepers that are more than 5mm out.

I'm trying again (firmly) and hoping MrM will stick to my new regime. I've tried this before but he doesn't stick with it: Dinner at 8:30 and bed for us both before midnight. Last night it was 10:30 when he came in for dinner and he came to bed at 2:30. He doesn't need much sleep but he rarely starts work until mid to late morning. It's something he's always done (before we met 7 yrs ago) so it's hard for him to change. He can but lets it slide all too often.

Mega36 Glad to read shielding will soon be over. I've enjoyed my walks that are much closer to home but I'm really looking forward to a drive to our nearest beach (25 min) when it's allowed.

Bluesaphire. I must get one of those kneelers. {smile}. I use my little cushion pad but struggle to get up. Particularly so at the moment with my sciatica.

Sheep. I used to live in Derbyshire and attended many a sheep dog trial. I owned a couple of blue merl collies in those days. Parents worked cattle. Love to watch the dogs in the field.

YouTube pilates next. I need to buy a new band. Mine snapped. yesterday.

Take care everyone.

Good morning all,

It's a cloudy and chilly morning today, though the sun keeps trying to break through.

Good luck with your appointments mick.

Such sad news from your friend stilllearning - a huge shock for you all. ?

I love your flamingo, Dwmxwg - I imagine it looks really pretty lit up at night.

Happy birthday dustyangel ??.

Not sure what I'm going to do today, but will call my friend to see what she has been up to this week. Otherwise, it's a "see what transpires" sort of day.

Happy to read that pinchy is feeling strong enough to wander about a bit, and hope those splints do the job.

Take care everyone.

Grandmafrench, I usually endorse your good advice but ‘have your cake and eat it every day’ is what got me to this overweight state.

Warm welcome to grannyme6.
Hang in there Ashcombe, think how wonderful your reunion will be, think hearts, flowers, moons and stars ?

stillearning, such tragic news from your friend. Unimaginable pain.
Lots of sadness and pain amongst our dear friends in here ?

Good morning all from a cloudy Lancashire. No chance of a lie-in today as there are some road/rail repairs taking place nearby. They are here at least until the end of the week, fingers crossed it doesn’t drag on. I’m not sleeping well at the moment and this isn’t helping but life has to go on.

I shall now read all your news, sending best wishes to all.
