Good Morning Sunday

Good Morning All x.
What a miserable damp day---ah well at least it isn't cold.
I too was " locked out " of here for ages and have got access in a different way by just asking google a question ? and not via the normal route.

I bet Mick is still looking at the 502/504 error gateway waiting patiently. Hope he's okay anyway.

I entertained myself by looking at the Ted Baker dresses on Ebay I could easily spend a fortune just using my eyes.

However, I hope everyone's well and remembered the hour less in bed, not that it'll make much difference at this stage.
Breakfasted but not showered as yet then remembered to get the last of my 2 lamb chops from the freezer for today---same as last Sunday but with a different veg ( cauli) and I'll do some white sauce. A quick orange sponge pud for afters. Trying to empty the freezer as much as I can in readiness for a refill next week.

So glad to hear that you'll be seeing your friend Dragonfly x A step in the right direction for you both.

Gosh it's nearly 11, though I don't know why I'm rushing. Speaking to a neighbour in the garden yesterday I'm not the only one who hasn't done so much this last 12 months so I didn't feel so bad knowing she'd been the same.
We do intend getting stuck in to some gardening as soon as the weather picks up.

Thoughts as usual to everyone both present and absent. Have a decent day and stay safe. xx

Good morning everyone! Glad to see you made it Mick.
Rather chilly and blowy in Suffolk this morning. I really don’t like gardening when it’s windy, particularly when my hair is long, so I shall finish the ironing and watch Leicester Tigers this afternoon. We have watch SO much rugby this year!
I hope the day is kind to everyone.

Good Morning all. A coffee in the (hot) courtyard sort of day here in the S of ?? ? ☕️?

Always irritated it’s an hour I’ve missed, but probably as discombobulating for all. ?

May you have a decent Sunday with calm and enough rest to set you up for some fun, maybe - all those lucky souls meeting family or friends this week?

Keep battling on, everyone. We’ll get there. Hope and hugs to those down or distressed, speedy recoveries to those unwell or in pain.

To the sad or broken-hearted, all the love you need and want to help you through. Thinking about you Maw ?

Take care, keep safe. ?????‍♀️????

One thing I did was to email Gransnet, I also contacted Age UK and the person got the same screen of error like myself.
Mick

Morning all at last! Been trying to get through the locked gateway since 7am. Someone forgot to make sure we could all get in!

Still a cool wind here on the south coast but 8.7c on my weather station earlier. I am looking forward to a few nice days of warm sunshine from tomorrow and being able to enjoy seeing some family in the garden.

DD volunteered at the vaccination clinic again yesterday and said it was mainly elderly second jabbers. We are waiting for ours so hope it won't be too long now.

A quiet day looms after the unexpected fridge collection. Something does keep turning up on my empty agenda!

Hope the day is a good one for us all.

Right, a proper good morning now from an overcast, windy S Hants. I had a restless night, so still not really in the wide awake club. But washing is on, second mug of tea in progress as I peruse my list of ttd which tells me I need to get wrapping paper, sort out vape juice and wash kitchen floor. How exciting..I need to go to the farm shop early tomorrow followed by the local M&S food hall to return three tops. Their sizing has gone silly, all three are way too big, always been reliable before. I have the Saturday crossword to keep me entertained, football later, chicken for dinner then Line of Duty, I’ll be worn out!
Have a gentle day all, Auntieflo hope your pain is still diminished and Marydoll the gentle day certainly applies to you. ??

Good morning from a very blustery North Yorkshire.
Ironing done and croissants and coffee taken.
Waiting for a call from a friend then off to do some charity admin.
Walking later. No sunny skies unlike yesterday.
Have a good day everyone. Stay safe.

Good morning. Like a lot of you not being able to log on to Gransnet a shock to the system!
Chilly and a bit windy in Dorset, hard to imagine the predicted warm spell mid week!

Hello to all again. Sorry about your day of enforced rest again Marydoll, we'll miss your mischief!
It's a "changeable' day here on the Angus coast with warm sunshine one minute and threatening dark clouds the next.
I must be a Gransnet addict! I couldn't settle to anything until I had my fix. Or maybe I've become a creature of habit because I became quite discombobulated after yesterday's visit by my gardener, a week earlier than I had expected. Great to see him though! He tells me that he's retiring from his main job at the Big House at his 70th birthday in August but is going to keep on with mine and the one at the Old Manse for a while yet. A huge sigh of relief!
DGD was out to her first real 'grown-up' party last night, a friend's 17th. There were to be four of them in a barn!! That's Covid Rules for you! We had a WhatsApp chat on her bus journey there and she was waxing lyrical about photos of twin lambs born earlier in the day. I wonder if their 'party' was in an empty pen in the lambing shed?! Anyway, DD collected her at midnight and reported that 'she appears to have been sensible', to which DS2 replied "That would never have happened in my day" (Don't I know it !)
Well, the rain's now on and the washing machine has finished its cycle, so off I go to the tumble dryer.
Hope everyone has a lovely Sunday. ?????

Good morning everyone from a cold but dry Inverness
So pleased to see us all back here after a slow start this morning !
Will read all the lovely posts later ...

Good morning from a grey skied Colchester.
Who'd have thought that changing the clocks would crash Gransnet?
Quiet Sunday here with a couple of patio quotes and just one delivery.
Roast beef for dinner.

Love to all x

Good Morning Everyone,
I was up early , kept on getting error 502 or 504 on screen anyway I am here .
Today cold and windy here in Brackley , plans are to have a slightly early lunch a slow cooked casserole , followed by cycling on TV .
Take Care,
Mick

Must admit I haven't been up very long I don't know why but changing clocks always out me on wrong foot.I was saying to oh last night about working nights and that everyone wanted spring shift but nobody wanted Autumn shift must say i did plenty of both !Just waiting for daughter to bring out shopping ,that's exciting as it gets today Hope everyone has a good day ?

Good morning everyone from a cool and drizzly Anglesey. Hope Mick catches up with us soon.
Beef dinner for us today, a zoom call with our family and catching up with some paperwork, lots of music needed to perk me up this morning. No tv until this evening for Line of Duty.
Hoping for a random pink flamingo for all, especially those of you in pain or with worries and sadness.

Good morning from Shropshire.

Well yesterday wasn’t the do nothing day I thought we would be having.Henry didn’t sleep at all on Friday night?so DD brought the two children here and went home to sleep.

Nothing planned today apart from writing the few Easter cards we send and sorting out the Easter gifts for the children.

Cherry, thinking of you and hope you are feeling better and Mary hope you feel better as the day goes on,Auntieflo, glad your pain has lessened.

Have a good day all and thinking of Georgesgran,Louis, maw and all with sadness,illness and worries??

Good morning all. Like all of you, I wasn't able to access the site til now. Thanks to Beechnut although I miss Mick. Sunshine, showers and wind in Polmont this morning. Marydoll ? and lots of rest.
Last night ds cooked a lovely dinner courtesy of Nico at home. There were many courses. We started at six o'clock, had a break for earth hour, and finished at eleven then I drove home. That, vivid dreams and the missing hour, means I didn't sleep well and I'm tired today so I won't be doing much. Roast chicken for dinner and I might bake but that's all I'm going to do. Have a good day all.

Good morning. Another who has been trying to get on, can’t start the day without GM thread.
We were woken at 6am by phone call from DD, DGS2 unwell, coughing and breathing difficulties. Snapped into action and DGS1 collected so she could take his brother to hospital. Four hours later and all is well. He has croup and a dose of steroids has done the trick. Unfortunately she now has to take him for a Covid test because of the cough. Older brother has slept in until now. They will get their Easter books early for being good boys and DD will get her favourite roast dinner cooked for her.
My visit to the eye clinic yesterday has meant a change of eye drops and request to visit again in few weeks to have another look. Wasnt a very pleasant experience “I am just going to put this in your eye” don’t know what instrument it was but lots of pushing against the eyeball, resorted to the digging nails into my hand for distraction, at least they are being thorough.
Hope the computer gremlins have all been sorted and all will be back on track tomorrow.
Thoughts to all with worries and illness. May the flamingos find their way to raise a smile

Here’s one I prepared earlier.....

Good morning everyone from a dry but rather blustery Torbay! And, thanks to losing ?an hour, it’s still dark! (Originally written at 06.30 a.m.) If it weren’t for my accompanist ?duties at church ⛪️, I would still be in dreamland! ??.

In my dozy ?state, typing emojis is easier! I hope everyone is as well as possible and that Gransnet wakes up soon. Currently, it says: “Gateway Error”, which sounds painful! So I’m typing this separately in readiness.

Other plans for later today include watching the first F1 race ?this season from Bahrain, having watched Q3 yesterday. Verstappen has pole with Lewis in second place on the grid. A few phone calls to make today, too.

Enjoy your “day of rest”, good people ..... and the naughty ones, too! ?

P.S. So glad you are able to support your bereaved friend in a practical way, dragonfly46. Thinking of you.

Good morning everyone from a grey overcast Northampton. Didn't realise the site had been down as I've only just got up anyway!

What a long day it felt yesterday......well, it did to me. But brightened up by a great win for my rugby team Northampton Saints - beat the opposition 14-62! Then I fancied doing some baking, so made a batch of scones which I was very pleased with.

Will have a walk to the postbox later to post a few Easter cards, and also use the cashpoint outside the post office.

Chicken for dinner tonight, and then see what's on TV. And carry on with my knitting; was able to solve the problem I had with the pattern the other day, so hoping all is plain sailing now, but each row is 270 stitches!

Hoping Sunday treats us all well.

Good morning from a cloudy Essex by the sea. Gremlins in the works this morning !!!
Not a lot going on here. Roast gammon for dinner , football to watch later, then Top Gear and Line of Duty.
I hope you all have a more exciting day than us. Xx

Good Morning all from presently dry Harrogate, thanks JJ I couldn't get on it 2 hours ago. Blamed it on VirginMedia!! When I looked at this page I thought well it's not just our paperboy that slept in!!! I see GN hasn't changed the clock either!

Decided that cleanliness is the way to Godliness so I shall do some deeper than normal cleaning today, probably while attending virtual church.

A year ago I made a load of masks which turned out to be just too big, since masks look like they are going to be a way of life for a while yet - I am adjusting them! I have a letter telling me from 1st pril I shall be freed from shielding!!! WOW!! Watch out Harrogate!!
Marydoll in The Line of duty, they referred to the man as an oddball, but no mention that he had Down Syndrome, so that was OK.
I'm looking forward so much to seeing my 2 GC on Wednesday (a day early) for Dgds 5th relay Birthday party!

Keep well everyone, have the best day possible!!

Good morning from a rainy Black Country.

Yes, it looks like the site was down this morning.

No real plans today, except carry on with my book, it is called The Midnight Library by Matt Haig, and is rather good so far. It was part of my Mothers Day present from DD.

Roast chicken for dinner and I shall make a rice pudding in the slow cooker. We know how to live

Wishing you all a good day

Good morning from Cheshire.
Still have a few clocks to change but , fortunately , phone does it by magic !
Have as good a day as possible everyone.

Good morning from a very blustery Leicestershire.
Morning Mick - hope you can get on now.

Going for a walk with my bereaved friend this morning which I am looking forward to.

Morning all,

Another one who obviously spends far too much time on GN, seemed very odd not being able to catch up with you all first thing.

A lazy Sunday is planned, with roast pork for dinner, as we do not eat until 7ish I should be able to finally finish my book this afternoon (Richard Osmans’s Thursday Murder Club) it’s an odd read

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️
