Good Morning Tuesday

Good Morning All x.
Wet and windy is the only way to describe what I see outside. I was going to walk through the cemetery to Asda but I don't think I'll bother. There's no direct transport from where I am only a taxi of course but both ways doesn't leave much change from £10. Don't mind paying for just the return journey with the groceries. I do need to shop though.

Ordered my kettle online but the matching toaster order doesn't want to play at all, it highlights to buy but does nothing else---I'm not good when it comes to something not working, I expect things yesterday ! I go into Meldrew mode

Watched Andre Rieu last night on the Sky Arts channel, so lovely as usual. It was marking his 70th birthday and the whole show was brilliant. I'd gone to bed to watch but as usual couldn't keep my eyes open to the end but what I did see was very calming.

Hoping the dogs get on okay today at the vet, they're as important as we are when facing procedures or treatment.

Marydoll hope things pick up for you as it's rotten when you have off-days and wondering how long they'll last. x.

Hope also that QuaintIrene has some success at the bank so that roof work can commence. Fingers crossed.

I haven't heard from D lately so I don't know whether that's a good thing or not----you'd never really know with her she can be quite deep. Good job I'm not a demanding person !

Crumpet time so keep well everyone and stay safe, hope the day goes well for all xx

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Morning Mick, morning All. The sky looks like November, dark clouds moving too quickly to count.

Not sure what’s ahead today other than finishing the grocery order. Happily swap your furniture hunt for our car hunt greyd, I fear Mr C will want to revisit a car showroom. We’ve never dithered so much over changing a vehicle.

I’m sorry you’ve had so much worry quaintirene, hope your roof can be sorted very soon. Go gently marydoll, rest when you can. Wishing the soon to be operated on pets a speedy recovery. Safe travels all who are venturing forth.

Take care everyone, hope Tuesday is gentle with us all.

Good morning from wet and windy Cheshire. Tried to post on my Tablet this morning but must have done something stupid ( never ! ) as , not only did it not appear , but I had to log in again on my desk top.
Have only had time to read a few posts so will come back later. Have the best day you can everyone.

Good morning all from dull Harrogate
Today DH has a hospital appointment with a dietitian who is trying to fatten him up. It’s a waste of time cause if he doesn’t like it he won’t do it!!
Good to see you today Mary hope the day brightens for you.
Yesterday I made a batch of scones they freeze well and taste good when thawed out!
I started doing ‘diamond’ painting. A present I had been given. Oh, I find it so tedious - I’d rather stick needles in my eyes!!!
Urms I generally pay £50+ to have a cut and blow dry - it’s worth it to get a skilled stylist who knows how to turn my birds nest into a style!! My hair is flyaway stuff on my head.
Keep well everyone. Hope to pop back later

I’m not having a colour session Susan. Just a cut & blow today. I’m hoping to be in Spain in 8 weeks (?) and like the way the salon over there does my foils. Ash-blonde highlights which don’t go brassy in the hot sun. Whenever I’ve had colours done over here I end up with yellow hair - not a good look especially when it’s cost me a fortune! Like you though, I’m not going to have it cut or treated quite so regularly. One of a few lifestyle changes I’ve decided on during this pandemic. I’ve re-evaluated my needs.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a dry but overcast South Yorkshire. We had a full day and evening of rain yesterday. Good for the crops - our local farmers must be rubbing their hands with glee. Today the plan is to do some shopping for small items of furniture we didn’t get to buy before the lockdown. My cup runneth over! We didn’t agree the last time we were looking so we probably won’t this time either! And to sample the cake I made yesterday.
My best wishes to anyone with a birthday today, and hugs to anyone that needs them. Have a good day folks.

There you are Marydoll!
Happy birthday to your DD and to Gingster's twin DGS and to my DS.
A lovely day to be born, whatever the weather.
I suggest cake, tea and a lie down.

My hair is annoyingly long but I haven't made an appointment yet. Cut and blow dry was £35 last time.
A pixie for you Urmston

Morning everyone it’s very windy here in Somerset but dry.
Just off to pick up DGS and do the school run.
Then just a housework day .
Hope you feel better soon marydoll and anyone else who is feeling out of sorts ?
Have a good day all

I enjoyed watching from my cosy room Monday's dramatic rains and winds beating on window panes and trees . I am looking forward to Tuesday's newly sprouted grass seeds and nasturtium seeds. Pity about the darling buds of May but.

Good morning Mick and all from Staffordshire.

It’s a very wet and blustery morning so not the most pleasant of journeys over here today.We were surprised that the fire at a recycling plant at the side of the motorway which delayed us last week is still burning today.

My hair cut and colour cost £84?quite an increase and we are in a little market town not a big city.I do like how my stylist cuts my hair so will keep going to the same salon.Lockdown has taught me I don’t need to have my hair cut and coloured every six weeks so will not be going as often.

DGS is in a very lively mood!Can’t believe it’s still only 8.20.Its too wet to go out so it’s going to be a fun day indoors?

Mary,sorry you are feeling so unwell.Hope you start to feel better as the day goes on?

Cherry, hope the kitchen fitting goes well.x

Good luck to Dexter and Freddie today????

Safe journeys to all travelling today and thoughts to all suffering illness or worried about loved ones.

Have a good day all??

I thought he was having his nadgers cut off?

Good luck to Freddie too for his hip op today Dwm.

Good morning Mick and all. It is dry here on the S Welsh coast.
A Tesco delivery this morning, then we are having our hair cut. We are also having our second vaccines this afternoon, such excitement.
Glad to hear that you are home dragonfly and hope that Dexter will have a successful operation.
Hope you are ok Cherry.
Stay safe everyone.

I had my cut, high/low lights and wash, blow dry at a small hairdressers in my road, £110!! Nothing fancy, not even a cup of tea and a biscuits.

Good morning Mick, morning all from a very dreich South Lanarkshire.

Hello Quaint, sorry to hear you’ve had problems with your roof, I hope you get your loan sorted out.

Best wishes to Dexterdog and Freddiedog for their ops today.

Urns my cut and blow dry last week was £40 which I thought was a bit steep, apparently it included a charge for my PPE which consisted of a disposable plastic apron. Actually I reckon they’ve had to put up the prices in an effort to recoup some of their losses which is fair enough.

Safe journey home brook.

Thinking of harrigran, Marydoll, Auntiflo and everyone coping with illness, worries or sorrow. May we all find a little something to make us smile today.

Urms go for the pixie-cut on their online pro-mo ??‍♀️

Gosh, such expensive cuts! I had mine done on Tuesday and a dry cut has gone up to the frankly horrifically expensive £12.50!

Morning Mick and all

Hoping Dexter and Freddie’s ops go well.
Marydoll don’t overdo things, looking forward to one of your novella’s soon. Dragonfly you also need to rest after your hospital adventure.

We have The Imp today and the weather forecast is dire, 40mph winds and rainy ☔️? looks like trying to entertain him indoors ?

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Good morning all. Gloomy here in N. Bucks the rain has stopped for now but still very blustery.
MarydollHope you feel better as the day goes on.
We managed lunch out with MIL and DD2, luckily we sat under a proper roof and had taken blankets. At least we got out for a while.
Not much planned for today. Quick trip to the Post office, some ironing and a few house jobs. Then I hope to finish a crocheted blanket.
Hope you all find a ? today.

Ashcombe like most town centres we have a proliferation of hair salons and nail bars! I dare say we need them - some things can’t be done on line.

This is the one I’m off to.

Marydoll and Harrigan and hugs.

Good morning from a wet and windy Colchester. The sun is shining at the moment but I can hear the wind whistling.
The supermarket is today's outing. DH plans to go fishing but I don't know if the weather will put him off. The weekly shop costs much more when he tags along.
Sending love to all x

Good morning all, I'm just feeling a bit grim just now, it will pass.

It's my DD's birthday today also and I'm summoning up all my energy to put on a face. I don't want to spoil it for her.

Dragonfly glad to see you back home and hope Dexter's op goes well.
Have a good day all.

Good morning all and what a wet blustery night it was.
I’m just back from booking an appointment for DH at the surgery. As we can never get through on the phone, the alternative is to go there when the doors open at 7 o’clock. Having been told by my DS1 that he got there once at 6,45 and was 10th in the queue and all the appointments had gone, I ventured up there at 6.30. Not a soul in sight! Pouring with rain and blowing a hoolie. ?. Anyway I got a 9.30 appointment . ?.

Lots of birthdays today including my lovely twin Gs. They are 15 today, tall and skinny and handsome! (Not biased at all) . They were like little skinned rabbits when they were born. 4lb 8ozs and 4lb 15ozs. Happy birthday to all and May 4th be with you.

DDIL and 2 Teen gds came round for a couple of hours yesterday while DDS1 and DH watched a footie match. To avoid the girls being in their phones the whole time, I got the old photo albums out and we all had a good laugh at their dad as a youngster. Then I got the really old ones out and was able to show them their great grandparents and the great great grandparents.

Hope the doggy ops go well today . ??

Safe journey for Brook and Ash. ? ?

Keep well, safe and happy ?
