Good Morning Thursday 2nd September 2021

Hope you enjoy your few days away NanKate we will be there Sunday for one night (Burnham), then off to Corfe Castle Monday for a week.

Good morning from an overcast NE.
Heating is always on, if the temperature drops it switches on, nothing worse than a cold bathroom and damp towels.
Morrisons delivery this morning, couple of substitutes but I am sure they will be fine.
It is my youngest GD's birthday today, she is twelve, goodness me the time has flown over.
I am expecting to receive some photos on WhatsApp.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone from an overcast start to the day here on the east coast of Fife in direct contrast to yesterday’s glorious sunshine - I do so love wakening up to sunshine it gets me in the mood for what’s ahead.

I’m getting my hairdresser coming in today and I’m so looking forward to getting these highlights back in and the peeking through grey bits removed or at least hidden. I’ll try and send you a photo of this tomorrow.

Wishing congratulations to H on her 60th wedding anniversary today that’s some achievement hope she has a wonderful day sorry I’m not sure what her Gransnet name is but another acquaintance through the Gransnet networking system. That’s what I like about Gransnet all the lovely folks who have come into my life since joining.

Have a lovely day folks! may the sun shine on you this day

Good morning all from dreary Harrogate
Looking forward to ‘breakout’ day - Sunday!! I’m having regular calls from NHS to make sure I’m behaving.
Today I have a call from my GP booked pre COVID I assume he knows I’m a statistic!
Got my Sainsburies delivery shortly so will have to get a move on!!

Lovely poem Ash. Hope you are feeling better Scentia
Hope you will be back soon marydoll

Have the best day you can folks!!

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning all, dull and a bit cooler today , grocery shopping today and click and collect at M+S , Such excitement !
I hope Marydoll is keeping an eye out on us ?

Good morning Mick and all his followers from a grey Suffolk. From the clink of flints, I can tell that our neighbour’s builders are at work. Note to self - close bedroom curtains again before getting dressed!
Tesco delivery and village coffee morning today, to catch up on the news. DS and family are here this afternoon for pizzas made in our pizza oven, so dough to make for them. Everyone can construct their own pizza outside to keep the mess down! DGC and I brought a pile of logs to the patio, so that we can light the fire bowl. We may need it this evening.
If this weather doesn’t improve, I think we should head West, in search of the sun!
I hope the day is kind to everyone.

Good morning from a grey skied Colchester. Forecast to be nicer later. Hopefully I can get some washing on the line.
The carpenter is getting on well with building a shed. I was worried when he was balancing on the roof yesterday as he is 65 and hasn't got the best physique!
I now have a dishwasher that it still to be tested. The guy who fitted it was supposed to be painting the cladding at the back of the house to save us having to replace it just yet. I left DH in charge and came home to a coat of yellow when I had asked for white......luckily he's due back next week to put on a second coat and probably a third now!!!!!
Note to self, don't leave DH alone with workmen

Love to all x

Morning from just outside Oban where the sky is lovely and blue again, I am having such a good week of weather here. The two grandchildren I am helping with are a joy and at ten and thirteen are almost independent, they are keeping me right!
DD is back this afternoon and I’ll head off home tomorrow.
I hope it’s not so long again before I can return.

I got a message last night saying that our choir which was scheduled to resume practices tonight is in fact not going to get back together for the foreseeable as several members have tested positive and quite a few others have decided it’s still too risky. It feels as though we are going backwards just now.

I had forgotten that poem Ash, it’s lovely, thank you.

Good health and best wishes to everyone for a good day ??

Good morning everyone from another grey dull day in Northampton. It will be dry, though, so the towels are in the washing machine.

So glad I made the effort to go to the well-being cafe yesterday, it really cheered me up, and I came home feeling much better. Had a good gossip over coffee and cake and my knitting progressed. It was a nice half hour walk each way; not many people about.

As I said yesterday I may run the hoover round upstairs (or not, as the mood takes me). And I may cut the grass - or not. A Sainsbury's delivery is due later this morning, no substitutes, they actually have everything I ordered for a change!

Younger DGD starts her first year at secondary school today; her mum has just put a lovely picture on Facebook of her in her school uniform. Where has the time gone?

Glad our GNs in sick bay are starting to feel better. Wishing all a pleasant day.

Good morning everyone. It’s cloudy here at Morecambe Bay. It’s our youngest Gd’s birthday today and also her very first day at school. We will hopefully FaceTime her later and see how she’s got on. She’s been very clingy recently. We are going down on Saturday to look after her while her mum and dad go out for the evening.
We got word yesterday we can pick the new car up next Thursday. We had our meters changed last week to smart meters so we can go on a cheaper night time tariff to charge it but they are currently not connected to anything. A fault somewhere in cyberspace!
Take care everyone and stay safe ?

Good morning all,

As greyduster has reported, its grey, grey, grey and cool here in South Yorkshire today. It must be slightly milder than yesterday morning though as the heating didn’t kick on today first thing.

Boiler service was done yesterday, chap came at 12.40, so it meant a lot of hanging around waiting for him to get here as their time window is 8 am until 1 pm for a morning slot. Still, it’s done now.

Pilates class very soon, so I’d better get a move on.

Best wishes to you all.

Today would have been my 49 Wedding Anniversary, but it’s exactly 6 months to the day since DH died. I miss him.

Georgesgran sending you a (((hugs))) ???

Good morning Mick, Annie, and all
Today is our 60th wedding anniversary, thank you Elizabeth1 for the best wishes.
This is us on that day so many years ago. I never thought, in my wildest dreams that we would make such an achievement.

Georgesgran for you.

Our granddaughter, husband and great grandson, 4, are visiting this afternoon, so hatches will be firmly battened down.

Thinking of our missing posters
Have a good day one and all.

Good morning Mick and all. It’s cool, grey and cloudy again here in Lancashire. At least it’s dry with no rain forecast. Temperature currently 14 deg C.

Another day with not much planned, still resting my knee. The swelling has gone down a little and it’s not as sore. The pharmacy did not have my missing meds and asked me to return this afternoon. Before that we are awaiting delivery of a new mattress. The old one is ready to be collected and Mr. B will help me get the new one correctly placed.

Welcome to any new posters. Best wishes to anyone celebrating and virtual hugs to anybody suffering.

Wishing a safe journey to anybody traveling.

Have the best day possible. ?

Good morning Mick and all from a dull Lancashire coast. Nothing exciting on the cards today. Visitors staying next week so will give their bedrooms a tickle. Chillier in the house, so extra cardie time. Just finished latest book, so big decision, what to read next!
Yesterday to side of house and up ladder in garage to read meters. Fond memories of the days this was done for me, I seem to have to do it every three minutes. Some things in life seem more complicated than in Ye Olden Days.
Ashcombe Walter de la mare is one of my favourite poets.
Thinking of you Georgesgran, I miss my husband so much too, it’s very hard.
Pics from my lovely trip to Llangollen on Tuesday.

Morning from a dull but dry part of the Scottish Borders. Glad to see Scentia and Gwen seem to be on the mend. Some admin to do namely rearranging my flu vaccine at Lloyds. I stupidly booked it for a day I do childcare. Have some minutes to type and then may even put out some feelers for a job. Have seen a couple of advertisements and there is a long closing date so might be feasible. Wash done and hung out. Food delivery later. Off to to do my physio exercises. Very positive session yesterday though I think I have always had the tendency to walk like a duck and will take a lot of effort to eradicate that. Take care everyone. Radio four on as usual. Ddog slobbing on sofa.

Happy Anniversary Auntieflo what a lovely photo

Happy Anniversary AuntieFlo

A special hug for GeorgesGran

to AuntieFlo and to you tooGeorgesGran - flowers can say whatever you wish , can't they !

Sending you virtual hugs georgesgran ?
And sending very best wishes to all DGC starting school today for the very first time or going back ?

Morning all from grey East Yorkshire.

Thank you for the poem Ashcombe I’d forgotten that one.
Hugs to Georgesgran ?
Happy Anniversary Auntieflo and Mr.A ?? that is some achievement.

I’m feeling very washed out today after looking after DGS yesterday. Last week I asked him what his favourite book at nursery was. He told me “Poo in the zoo” it’s a new one to me but I ordered it online for him and we collected it yesterday. We read it several times it’s very funny and all the reviews etc say children love it. One to recommend for sure.

I’m going to have a quiet day although I have a call centre call to make today. Oh joy ?

Have a good day all.
