Good Morning Thursday 2nd September 2021
(64 Posts)Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Grey grey grey in South Yorkshire and chilly with it. But no heating on yet. We are up early waiting for the decorator to arrive. 7.30 he said. Bet it isn’t. A trip to the butchers later and a day of trying to keep out of the way of ladders and paint pots!
Lovely poem Ash. Haven’t heard that one.
Have a good day everyone.
Good morning Mick, morning all from South Lanarkshire where the grey skies are a huge disappointment after yesterday’s glorious weather.
I hope the day warms up in the east coast as it’s our childminding afternoon. Now that autumn is approaching we may have to rethink our usual routine of a little picnic by the beach after DGD’s gymnastics class.
I really must get up and into the shower while DH takes the little pooch to doggy day care. She absolutely loves her day there and races in as soon as the door is opened.
Have as good a day as you can everyone. ??
Morning Mick and all
Grey here in S E Essex.
The 6 yr old goes back to school today, as he is now in year 2 it’s a shirt & tie (reception and yr 1 are polo shirts) he is very excited.
We are hopeful that our sinkhole will finally be fully repaired today and that our road can be opened.
Keep safe and well folks ?♀️?
Good morning everyone from Cambridge where it’s grey and cloudy.
It’s back to school today for eldest DGS, he’s looking forward to it so it’s just me and the youngest today. I think we’re going to the botanical gardens if it stays dry
Sounds like lots to look forward to Scentia ?
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings ?
Good morning everyone from an overcast Severnside.
Some bills to pay and on opening the cupboard door the duster tries to escape so I’ll let that out today for a dance around the house.
I’m finding my legs are getting chilly in the evening so am covering with a blanket. It’s too early for me with central heating. I would feel stuffy.
Have a good day all ?
Good morning everyone from Malaga where the sun’s just up ? and the shy is a sugar almond pink wash above the sparkling blue Mediterranean Sea. The forecast is for 29°C with a gentle breeze.
No idea what we shall do today. No plan. We have 2 weeks left now. Beach? Walk into Torremolinos? Train into Fuengirola? - easy as the train station is only a 5 minute walk from the apartment.
I finished my book yesterday. It was the best I’ve read in a while. I need to choose another one today.

Thinking of you with your girls over in Bristol this morning grandMattie - lovely! Glad you have sunshine in Sarthe at last Ashcombe! How’s things amselerin? Are you up to your eyes with sorting and organising these days? Moving is stressful at the best of times, never mind emigrating!
Enjoy Thursday all who can - hope scentia and gwen are over the worst now with their Covid infections. x
Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it should be a good day.
Three days to go!! I have booked a shopping trip with DD for Sunday a couple of seats at a local mini cinema The Red Carpet, for the following Friday to see Respect then a hair appointment for the Saturday. I have an order arriving today of new bathroom accessories so I have plans people, I am just about tearing my hair out now ?. I will clean my bathroom and put my new accessories in today, I have to take it easy though as I get breathless and tired quite easily.
Love the poem Ash
Mick I would put the heating on but DH will wait for October irrespective of the temperature?
Take care everyone and stay safe ❤️
Good morning from grey sky West Berkshire .
Food bank today followed by a little shop in nearby M & S .
Yesterday I booked a visit to Kensington Palace to see Diana’s wedding dress and the statue in the garden . Taking my sister who has had a rough time this year , so looking forward to it .
Appointment booked in November for removal of my gallbladder and and it’s golf ball sized occupant!
Wishing you all as good a day as possible, especially those with worries and challenges in life .
Morning Mick and all. Grey again in Hertfordshire. Im waiting today for my wool and knitting patten. Royal mail delivering.
Shopping and chemist to pick up my RA perscription. Eye test tomorrow at spec savers. I use to go to Boots but thier waiting list is quite long and I really need new glasses as watching TV , even though I have a big screen, has became a lot worse.
Have a good day to you all and hope everyone who is feeling under the weather, feels better soon. My knitting needles are at the ready havent knitted for ages. Rosie x 

Good morning Mick and Oops, another grey day here south of London, I have a hospital appointment this morning, have fun in the sun oops, am envious but heard we may see some on sun-day. Hooray ?
Good morning all from a sunny Sarthe, at last!
The patient (DH) has had a better night, thanks to Diazepam, after a somewhat difficult day. We completed a few errands yesterday, including refuelling my car, where we waited patiently for an elderly gentleman to fill his car via the pay at pump facility as the pay booth was closed. After he drove off, we found his bank card still in the machine so DH handed it in at the nearby supermarket.
I’ve attached the poem Nicholas Nye by Walter de la Mare for the donkey lovers among you. It’s a poem I learnt from my mother and have always loved.
Wishing everyone a happy day and thinking of the many in England for whom term starts. ???
Good morning Mick and all who follow, our heating was on yesterday morning to take the chill off, so I would say go for it! I haven’t looked behind the curtains yet, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see thick clouds yet again here in Oxfordshire.
Hygienist yesterday and a good evening out with friends was just what we needed and we are off to the coast today for a few days, apparently they have sun! We will see.
Hope all have a good day with some smiles and a warm hug for those who aren’t feeling so chipper.
Good Morning Everyone,
Its cloudy but dry here in brackley this morning.
Today for me will ne usual bus trip out to Bicester for a short while to return and watch the Vuelta unfold on TV .
Also unsure whether to turn heating on.
Take care,
Mick
