Good Morning Saturday 28th August 2021

Good morning Mick and all from Sunnyside, Lancashire coast.
Good nights sleep after dropping off in the final instalment of My Unorthodox Life, horribly compelling. Friend arriving for overnight stay this afternoon so will book a meal tonight, it’s probably going to be busy in town. I’m not making any other arrangements for food as when I go to see him (40 miles away) in all the years I have known him, I’m only offered a cup of tea, whatever time it is. My book has arrived ‘The Subtle Art of not giving a F**k*. Haven’t started it yet, but obviously the title alone has had an effect.
Hope you enjoy your reunion Ash, welcome Rosycheeks and where is EV? My favourite, so funny and down to earth.
Thoughts to anyone with worries.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning from a cloudy but warm Black Country.

I am back from our few days away in Somerset. A walk on Brean Down, and a trip to Sidmouth, then Tewkesbury on the way back and a visit to the Abbey.

Good to see you are now reunited with your DH Ashcombe

Looks like your friend is doing well NanKate, hope she will be home soon.

Welcome to Rosycheeks I hope you enjoy are lovely thread.

Hello Gingster hoping Marydoll is well.

Wishing you all a lovely Saturday

Good morning from a cloudy Essex by the sea.

Sorry to hear that Scentia and Gwen have both tested positive. I hope you both get well soon.

Welcome to Rosycheeks.

DH has just come back from the butchers and we are off out later to pick up my contact lenses and find somewhere to frame my two cross stitch pictures.

Have a good Saturday everyone xxx

Good morning from North East Hants. I’m so sorry to hear of the ‘positive’ folk on here and have everything crossed that you won’t be too poorly.
Hello Rosycheeks ?
It’s grey here again and seemed quite chilly last night. Where has this summer gone?
Planted some pansies which are always so cheerful and dug up some surplus daisy plants for my daughter who is missing autumn colour in her garden.
Nothing planned for today, but no doubt it will fly by.
Thinking of all on here and those taking a break, hoping you feel able to return soon.

Good morning Mick, morning all from sunny South Lanarkshire. I feel as if we’ve actually had a proper summer this year, it’s been a tonic.

Disappointing news from the charity shop yesterday, the manager is leaving and it normally takes so long to recruit that we may have to close for a while.

Later today I’m having a zoom call with a cousin in Canada. Under normal circumstances I would see him at least once a year as he travels a lot for business but it’s been two years now since his last visit. Other than that there’s nothing planned, a lazy day I think.

Welcome Rosycheeks, I hope you enjoy the thread.

Hello MD if you’re reading ?. Scentia and Gwen, I hope you both get well quickly.

Wishing everyone a peaceful day.

Hello from an overcast morning here at DD's in East Northants. Just come down and made a mug of tea and watching the news on tv. DD is just about to take the dogs to the vet for their annual check-up and jabs.

Plans today are a mooch around the nearby retail park with DD to see what's on offer. I have a dress to return/exchange in Next, and also vouchers to spend in M&S. Coffee and cake also await. Not sure what the rest of the day holds.

Welcome Rosycheeks to this lovely thread. Sending wishes to Scentia

Have a pleasant day everyone..

Good morning all, the sun has burnt the mist off already !
I hope it’s not too hot this morning, my son is running (!) up Slieve Donard this morning , the local Gaelic club is raising funds for the Hospice

Good morning Mick and all from chilly (16°) Lueneburg. It`s raining cats and dogs. Welcome to Rosycheeks. I am delighted that Ash made it to France.I am missing Mary and pleased to see that Urms is back. I was going to do some gardening today but that has been cancelled. I shall do some sorting out. As I intend to move to Britain I need to do some clearing out. As this house is quite large (including a large cellar) a lot of furniture and other things have been stacked away. I don`t need many things to be happy.
I went mushroom picking in the forest yesterday and found a few. Waldi, my dog, is not willing to go through the forest any more as her eye sight has deteriorated . She is 14 years old and otherwise quite well. She used to love it investigating the badger holes (Dachshound). Everything has it`s time. I wish you all a happy "Bank Holiday". I am sorry to see that some of you are positive. Wishing you all a happy time and no worries of any kind.

We’ll be back soon nannytopsy. ❤️

Good morning everyone. I’m trying to convince myself that it is going to be sunny today. Our DDs have been on holiday in Dorset and N. Wales and judging by their photos on the family Whatsapp they have had plenty of blue skies.
A small local food shop and a visit to a new zero waste shop on the agenda this morning.
This afternoon we are collecting MIL for a visit and dinner. She also wants to see Lord Jasper running in the field. He goes like the wind.
Healing thoughts to all who need them and wishing everyone a smile within their day.

GG I have two more king sized quilt covers and a load of pillowcases to iron, if you are offering? ?

Good morning from a sunny NE ?
Had a disturbed night, there were a lot of car doors slamming. I got out of bed to check the street and saw that a neighbour's son had arrived with several people. My neighbour is away on holiday and I am looking after the property, she never mentioned the possibility of house guests, I do hope she knows.
DH had a text just as I was nodding off again, cheeky scam message saying that a parcel could not be delivered from the post office and to click on the link to arrange payment
These scams are so badly worded that it is obvious they are from criminals.
Had message with photographs from the family last night, GDs had been pony trekking, looked as if they had a great time.
Sister is home and will visit this afternoon, she had good weather in the Lakes.
Best wishes to poorly people.

Thanks Grandmajean ? ?

Morning Mick and all

I can confirm Gingsters weather forecast for our little corner of Essex, grey with a nip in the air.

Welcome Rosycheeks love your name

No plans today, but I should iron 5 lots of bedding (including 3 king size duvets) will see how I feel later?

Gwenisgreat I hope you have only mild symptoms, you are now joining Scentia in the GM Covid Class ?

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Good morning Mick and all his followers. There are bands of blue sky and cloud here in Suffolk, so I guess it’s going to be a mixed day!
The decorator is coming to finish one particular window and take his scaffolding down this morning. We keep getting light showers which do nothing for the garden but stop him painting.
Madeinoz it is our DGS’s birthday on Monday too. He will be 8 and as they are camping until tonight, I have been asked to make a cake, which his mum will decorate.
Missing your updates on our Suffolk coastline Gingster - will you come back for another long spell this year or do you stay in Essex more in the winter?
I hope the day is kind to everyone.

It was the best day we have had in a while here. Warm ,sunny and bright blue skies. Does your heart good in lockdown so we had lunch in the garden and then played some old records, having revived the record player and sorted out my old LPs dating back to the 1960s. Wahay.

Welcome rosiecheeks to a very busy and entertaining thread.
gingster surprise !I read your posts . I don't often get responses either so thought you'd like to see your name. Have a good day.
DH and son ringing church bells for a wedding today. First time in 18 months ! What a beautiful day the happy couple are getting.

Gwenisgreat1. So sorry you are positive too, hope you don’t get too poorly.
I too couldn’t have been more careful when out and about, I think I got it at the museum last Sunday as no one apart from me and the staff were masked. I must have touched something then touched my face without sanitizing again?. Or there was the man in front of me on Tuesday in the garage who was coughing like ‘billyo’ and I had to then step into his airspace, I was masked and the attendant asked me to go to the next cashier whilst he cleaned the Perspex and counter. Test and trace asked me where I could have caught it, I think they will enjoy my essay?
Stay well Gwen ❤️❤️

Good Morning everyone from South East London - the weather is quite bright and not at all dull. I am hoping for a little sun later. We will take the dog to the park this morning and hope to meet up with some of our 'park friends' for a chat.
Then to do our weekly shop - we usually go on Friday but had a family trip out yesterday. I will chill the rest of the day - reading and tv - and Mr R cooks the dinner on Saturday! Hoorah!!
Have a really good day Everyone x

Good morning Mick our newbie Rosycheeks and All.

Yet another grey day in South Bucks. Where is the short heatwave we had been promised ?

A cooked breakfast Ashcombe that sounds lovely. ??☕️

Off to visit our 97 year old friend who fractured her hip and wrist last Saturday and is recovering in hospital. Her daughter tells me she is planning her escape ?

Hope you are reading the GM thread Mary you will be warmly welcomed back. ?

Good morning all from sunny Harrogate ☀️
I am coughing like a trouper, haven’t had my results back yet - Will phone at lunchtime just to check. Normally had the results in 12 hours so this is a long wait for us.
At least got rid of the malware on my MacBook again. It was a fake website going by the name of yinkun…….. that did it, avoid at all costs!! You won’t get what you’ve ordered from them either!! DD1 is off to the Lake District today. She badly needs a break her last trip had to be cancelled because DGD tested positive- she only had symptoms for a day!! They are under so much stress. Fingers crossed they will make it.
So happy for you Ash great to be reunited after all this time.
Oops! Just had my COVID results - positive- ouch!
I feel that if I can get it - taking care and avoiding people, then I might as well enjoy myself when I’m better!

Thinking of marydoll
Keep well, take care!

Good morning and it’s overcast here in Essex.
Welcome Rosy cheeks. You sound lovely - just what we need on here after a few days of silliness.

You probably won’t get much response to your posts (I never do) but don’t take it personally.

Off to have coffee with a friend this morning . I haven’t seen her for a while, so lots of catch-up chat. .

Scentia wishing you a speedy recovery and fingers crossed for your DH.?

I hope you all have a pleasant day. ?

Good morning all from Herts where it is cloudy at the moment, but hopefully will brighten up later.
Welcome to Rosycheeks, you too are in Herts?
I'm pleased Ashcombe has been reunited with your DH after all this time. Enjoy your time together.
Yesterday we attended our neighbour's funeral, it seems so long since her passing, but it was a lovely service and afterwards a gathering at her home. Family, friends and neighbours joined together for her farewell.
Today, we need to shop for DGD's present for her 4th birthday on Monday, when we'll have a family get together, she's growing up so quickly!
Wishing you all a happy Saturday

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s another bright sunny start to the day and a dry warm day is forecast
A warm welcome rosycheeks hope you enjoy this lovely thread
This morning, I’ll be taking DGD to her dance class and DH is taking DGS to the crazy golf which re really enjoys. After that some lunch in town and a bit of shopping
Pleased you’re not feeling too poorly Scentia and hope the isolation time passes quickly for you. Hopefully your DH won’t get it either
Hoping everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care all whatever the day brings ?
