Good Morning Thursday

There’s a blue sky with white clouds here in Notts today - what it will bring remains to be seen.
It’s good to hear that Freddie and Dexter are on their way to recovering.
So many people now getting smart hair and second jabs - life certainly looks to be returning to a new normal now.
Yesterday, having had my hospital visit cancelled, we went to meet our eldest daughter by the lovely river Trent and ended up having lunch and a little walk through a nature reserve. It was good to feel almost normal. I came home and had a nap while Grandpajet prepared a liver and bacon casserole for dinner. It was very tasty. I think he’s a keeper! (Decision after 45 years!)
Hoping for a good day for everyone, and that a little bit of joy can get in to all your lives.

Good morning Mick and all his followers. I hope you have a good trip out Mick .
Urms I thought everyone knew about the tea trick!
Grandmadinosaur what lovely news. I keep hoping we shall hear the same from our DD who had an ectopic last year.
Aly glad you like your fire. We booked a decorator just after Christmas who can fit us in sometime in August.
DH has a hospital appointment and we shall vote. We go up to the polling station here - we live on a hill here.
I hope the day is kind to everyone.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Sun’s out here now Iam64! ☀️ will send some up the road to you.
?

I like your cut and colour too Blue you look very elegant!

Good morning from Durham. A stunning blue sky, but cold. Hauled an old mattress down the drive last night, so hope that’s picked up later. Garden bin collection too.
I’m still jumping through hoops to access DH’s pension etc. He was ‘on the ball’ financially, but it’s like wading through treacle.
Hope the new gardener comes today, he’s working out a price for some work.
Hope everyone has a good day with no repeat of yesterday’s weather. X

Good Morning all, the sun is full blast but I dared to step outside in my dressing gown and hastily stepped back in ! It’s frrrreeeezzing !
I am crocheting blankets for sitting out but as fast as I finish one it is bagged by my gang , but the next on has to be for me ?

Good morning all. Overcast here in N. Bucks.
My day will be sunny as we are off to Dd3. So will have cuddles with Charlie and then collect his big brother from school. Will take lunch and do any little jobs that need doing for them.
Had my second vaccine yesterday, no side effects so far.
Lovely to hear good news from some and thoughts for others who are troubled in any way.
Hope you all find a ?today.

Good Morning all,

Not very nice here in Glasgow. We should have had a day out at the coast, postponed from yesterday, but I'm still not well enough, quite disappointed.

Thank goodness I now have a permanent postal vote, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to vote today.

Congratulations to Gwenisgreat, who has now worked out my location. Litterpicker, you are slacking!

Bluesapphire, your hair is lovely, you look nothing like hoe I imagined you! .

Have the best day you can, all.

Your book club chats made me chuckle Gingster!
?

At ours we never finish a book either if we are not enjoying it. That, we decided, would be too much like homework!

Love your hair Bluesapphire

Morning all from a bright West Yorks looks as if quite a rainfall overnight.Nothing much planned today,postal vote sent last week,DH has his 2nd vac and maybe drop off another load of stuff at local charity shop.This is second load plus one trip to tip plus filled wheelie bins, we must be lighter in that loft !! When I look up there, all neatly packed and labelled which will make a final clear out either by us or AC easier to dispose of.
Thought and wishes to those with illness and worry.Take care all.

Good Morning from a bright, sunny, cold north Manchester. Waves to urmstongran and wonders how different our greater Manchester weather can be - we can’t be 10 miles away yet totally different.

Good morning from North Yorkshire. It’s sunny again.

Yesterday my fire was installed. I’m really pleased with it. Much more in keeping with the style of the house than the one we inherited when we moved here. Hoping the decorators who have promised to call to do quotes turn up. The man I have used for 13 years has moved on to other things.
I have a zoom call this morning with a parent carer group. I will pop out to vote and have a walk to the river if it stays fine.
Have a good day everyone.Stay safe.

Trying again, didn't post just now.
The new me!

Good morning from wet and windy Cheshire. Top up shop this morning then Zoom choir later. Will come back to read what everyone's been up to. Good wishes to those with worries .

Good morning everyone from a sunny Black country, hope it stays that way off to garden centre farm shop. Will then call into one of the bigger supermarkets for a change of scenery. We have an Aldi within 5mins but it's nice to have more of a range. No voting stations for us postal vote went off last week.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Weak sunshine at the moment in South Yorkshire. I have a hospital appointment this morning. That doesn’t stress me out so much as the journey to get there and then trying to find a parking space when we do. Hey ho. We will walk down to the polling station later. Have a good day folks and stay safe.

Good morning from a brightish Essex. And it’s still cold!!!!?

I just pulled up our bedroom blind and there on the roof opposite was a huge FLAMINGO . Rushed to get my camera and rubbed the sleep from my eyes and realised it was a huge heron. Never seen one round here before but beautiful all the same. ?.

Exciting news for you grandmadinasaur. ??.

Yesterday we took all the daff and tulip bulbs out of the tubs and pots. They looked so dreary and sad after such a wonderful display they had given us. What a tough job it was. ! We’ll wait to buy bedding plants as it’s still too cold for them.

Today I’m having my hair done! Yay! I go to my hairdressers house and she’s very reasonable. She’s done my hair for about 30 years - first in the salon and then in her house. Has put the price up by £2 only once in the last 10 years. Usually pay £40 (I give her £45) but if I don’t have colour, £23. I don’t know what to have done ?. Was going to have colour and a restyle but family have said they like it as it is. I’ll see what the expert says.

After hair, I’m going to my friends for lunch. Will have a good old natter and discuss the book we’re reading for out book club. Usually goes like this
‘How are you getting on with the book?’
‘Not very well, I’ve started it twice and don’t think I’ll bother. ‘
‘Same here’. ‘Life’s too short’ ??

We have had some good books but generally not worth wasting time on. ?.

Clouding over here now , so rain might be on its way. ☔️

Wishing you all a gentle day. ??

Good morning everyone from an overcast Northampton. Showers forecast later on, so will leave the washing till tomorrow.

Had my hair done yesterday afternoon and am feeling a lot lighter, in pocket (£94 for cut, colour and style) as well as physically! I had it cut really short and the hairdresser and I decided that the grey had to go! It now looks more like me peering out from the mirror.

Sainsburys are due to deliver at lunchtime, then I have a phone call with a therapist this afternoon. We tried on Microsoft teams last week, but couldn't get it to work for me so hope for better luck today. If not we will resort to the phone.

Take care and stay safe everyone.

Good morning from a brightening Leicestershire.

Dexter is much better today and does seem quieter. He ate well last yesterday as Maw gave me the recipe for doggy chicken broth.

We too do postal voting although I think you need a degree to work out which paper goes in which envelope.

So sorry Ashcombe that a reunion is not yet on the cards. Maybe proof of vaccine may do it.

Thinking of Mary, Cherry, Harri and all those under the weather.

Love that idea Urms☕️I am learning from a master!

Good morning everyone from a beautiful sunny start to the day here on the east coast of Fife.

that’s the bin men been hope they’ve lifted all they only emptied 2 garden refuse bins last week leaving the 3rd one full up. My DH got his knickers in a twist about that saying he’ll need to get it emptied for all the work being carried out.

Himself and I had a lovely weekend hotel break close to home and we’re having another one this weekend near to our DD and grandchildren people appear to be booking in madness due to lockdown restrictions being lifted it’s a real shame there’s been loads of people not turning up for their bookings. Shame on them.

I’m going to have an interesting afternoon I’ve agreed St. Andrews medical students can call in their quest to advance their training and knowledge regarding my health history. hey ho whatever pleases.

That’s my postal vote been sent off weeks ago in the hope of the best ( in my opinion) people getting elected
FREEDOM IS COMING in more ways than one have a good day everyone.

Morning all

As the song goes Oh what a night The 6 yr old felt poorly so from midnight was piggy in the middle in our bed. I nearly fell out of bed numerous times, hardly any ? sleep. Consequently I have a horrendous headache ? The 6 yr old is of course fine, bouncing around asking for breakfast!!

Keep safe and well folks ??

Good morning everyone from Inverness where we’ve had overnight slushy snow so everything is white outside. I didn’t think we’d see that again for a while..
Hope your back is better soon dwm and the stretches help too
Both DGC stayed over last night and are just awake now, so lovely morning cuddles all round. We’re taking them home after lunch and then popping into town for a bit of shopping
What lovely news grandmadinosaur a new baby on the way!!
We’ve also done our votes by post so that’s done already
Hope everyone with worries and struggles has a gentle day today and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Start small Susan56 and good results will encourage bolder moves. For example, years ago I happened to mention to Himself that he made a much nicer cup of tea than me. I very rarely make my own these days ...
