Good morning all from a very unsettled Durham.

Plumber should be arriving shortly to complete a job DH started yesterday. New taps in the cloakroom which didn't want to connect with existing pipework. Nothing is ever simple in this house!

GC will be arriving later. We will have three of them staying overnight so it's going to be pretty busy here. They are the three youngest with a brother and sister who are very competitive and often require a referee. We will hopefully get them outside in an attempt to tire them out but unsure where as yet.

DD2 shared some amazing photos with me showing GD1 (9years old) in her dance World Cup during the summer, where she came 6th in her category. As she was one of the youngest in her group the result was even more amazing. One very proud GM.

Have the best day you can everyone.

Good morning from NE Hampshire. You’re not alone Alizarin. I thought exactly the same ?!
Harrigran, thinking of you and hoping your DH is safely home soon. In the meantime rest and look after yourself.
Had a lovely wander round a garden centre yesterday and bought a beautiful bright yellow lap tray. It will certainly brighten up a miserable winter day ?.
Thoughts are with the grandMatties and others who have suffered painful losses xx

Ash, forgot to thank you for the spectacular photos. They are amazing. So pleased OD was able to share the view with you

Good morning all and it’s a bit grey here in Essex.
We had a shower of rain yesterday when we were a few miles from home , whilst having lunch in a pub garden. We were with friends and had to run inside with our plates of food. Silly us for chancing it. It’s strange how we laugh at things when we’re with friends ?- we probably wouldn’t have it had been just us, ?. ?. When we got back home , there had been no rain here.

Scentia - what a shame your new wardrobe was disappointing. Never mind, take them back and start again. ?

Ashcombe - beautiful pics . ?

Baubles - enjoy your meet up with another GN lady.
We must do it soon GG and Sar. Any dates available?

DS2 and family are at our cottage by the sea this weekend, so I hope it’s fine for them ?.

Dh going to a footie match this afternoon with DS1. So I will have a peaceful time. ?.

Happy weekend to all
GM still thinking of you. ??

Good morning Mick and the GM team from ‘guess what colour’ east London... yes it’s grey again.

We have successfully changed our energy supplier and our bills will ‘only’ increase by £54 per month rather than the proposed increase of £101 ( which was a 100% increase ). Incase it helps anyone, the best deals came via Which Switch and Money Saving Expert.

The next tedious job is changing the Pet Insurance, which has become very costly and then the Internet provider.

I have lined up some interesting viewing for our Saturday film night, about the assassination of Bobby Kennedy. (I realise on re reading that sentence, it’s probably not everyone’s cup of tea).

Harrigran, I do hope there is some improvement for your DH today.
grandMattie and her family are in my thoughts, of course.?

Wishing everyone a good day especially those facing challenges. ?

Annapops what wonderful photographs.

Harrigran - hoping your dh improves quickly. Rest up and take the day as it comes. ?

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Overcast and close in South Yorkshire this morning - what my mother would have called “muggy”. We had a lot of rain yesterday. I have to go out and buy DH a present for his upcoming birthday today. No idea what. Other than that, it’s ironing and knitting. In other words, a quiet weekend.
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning everyone the sun has got it’s hat on here on the east coast of Fife. What a grand sleep I had last night. Nice and refreshed this morning.

The cousins stayed overnight, what fun we had, fish and chips too for our tea.and it’ll be a full English/Scottish breakfast today. The cholesterol levels are way down,thank goodness for statins

Thinking of those who are less fortunate than me. Hugs all around.

Good morning Mick and all from a brightening S Hants. ginny I’ll wave, we’re about 7 miles from Southampton, as mentioned before, enjoy your visit.
20 years since the dreadful twin towers, one of those ‘where were you’ moments.
Washing, weekly newspaper treat and fuel up my car today.
Sorry to hear your DH is poorly Harrigran, may he improve swiftly. Thoughts with grandMattie ???.

Good morning from a very grey Essex by the sea.

DH is at his boat again, I will be going along to the chemist shortly to buy some wool, yes they sell lovely wool in our local chemist. Tonight we are going for a fish and chip supper at the Yacht club.

It would have been my mum's birthday today and 20 years ago myself and my daughters had taken her on the London Eye for her birthday. It was as we were coming home on the train that we heard about what had happened in America. A sobering day.

Sorry to hear that your DH is unwell Harrigran, I wish him well.

Gingster perhaps a meet up in the first full week of October. Let's try and sort something out with GG.

Enjoy your Saturday whatever you are up to xxx

Good morning Mick, Annie and all.
Thought are with GrandMattie and her family.
My back is sore and I am very stiff first thing in the morning just recently, so I am slow getting going. Hope to loosen up and just get out later on.
DD and SIL have taken their camper van to Cornwall for a break and will meet up with DS1 at some point. So I am hoping the weather is kind to them, as they worked so hard to make our anniversary special last weekend.
I have got a new knitting project and will enjoy having busy fingers.
Hoping that Harrigran manages to get a peaceful day and that her DH improves.
Have a good day one and all.

Happy belated birthday NotAGran55.
Oh, harrigran, I wish things soon improve for you and your poor DH. I feel frustrated on your behalf.
It’s good to learn Ian is on reduced pain relief but not so good to hear about the GP muddle Ashcombe.
Thank you for the beautiful photos, ladies.

A late good morning Mick and All from my hospital corner where I can see some blue sky.

Incredibly frustrated as while my knee is doing well my BP continues to drop on movement leaving me nauseous and dizzy/fainting. Lots of reassurance but I just want to get moving. Should be home tomorrow if physio permits. I’ll bribe her if necessary

What a worry harri hope your husband and all poorly people see some positives soon

Take care everyone, hope Saturday is kind to us all.

Harrigran So sorry you both had a worrying day yesterday. Fingers crossed for today.

Just seen your post Harrigran - hope your DH improves as the day goes on.

Good morning Mick and all from a dull Lancashire coast.
I’m still tired after such a busy week but must get on with things today. All the small things mount up if left.
I missed the reading of the water meter yesterday as out at art group so need to do that and get ready for trip to Whitby tomorrow, just a day trip.
Hope you have a nice day and thoughts to Harrigran and anyone with troubles.

Morning Mick and all

How frightening for you both harrigran I hope you manage to get some rest, and reassuring news regarding your DH

cornergran I am sure you will be up and about soon, but your body is telling you to take it easy.

I am still in bed (#lazygran) watching James Martin (who I think is extremely scrummy along with his food). Later I will be getting organised to go up to Norfolk for a few days it will be our 30th wedding anniversary whilst we are there, our intentions were to be in the Caribbean but COVID has put pay to that.

Sar53 Gingster I can do the Monday or Wednesday that first full week of October (Thursday at a push but I would have to change dental hygienist appointment)

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Sar and GrannyGravy ive sent you a pm. ?

Good morning Mick and all his followers. I am still in bed too, with the first coffee of the day.
I am still shortening school trousers and there is a small mountain of ironing to finish but it will have to wait. We are meeting friends for a late pub lunch as they pass by on their way home. We shall take our diaries and try to arrange a couple of days away which would give us something to look forward to. When I was at work, I booked trips at least three holidays in advance!
Annapops I am amazed at those photos. Best wishes to your DH Harrigran.
I hope the day is kind to everyone.

Morning from a dull but brightening S Lanarkshire. Lovely overnight visit from DD, she left for work at quarter to six this morning. As usual she tidied and reorganised me so I’ll spend today looking for all the things that I usually keep to hand!

A quiet day today I think. I want to choose family photos from my phone to be printed out, framed, and hung in my garden room. I am the world’s worst procrastinator, this should have been done weeks ago, so today it is.

I hope things improve soon for your husband harrigranand therefore for you.

Wishing everyone a good day???

Good morning all , the sun keeps sulking behind the clouds , but it’s dry

Good morning Mick and all from warmish Anglesey under a pale blue streaky sky.
Sorry Mr H will be a bit cross to be back in hospital Harrigran but I’m sure you did the right thing. Hope his temperature comes down and things improve over the weekend.
Hope you’re set free soon Cornergran, hospital is fine when we need it but no place like home when we’re done.
Belated birthday wishes Notagran ?, hope it was a good un.
Have a good day to all and special thoughts to grandMattie x

Just catching up on GM's news.
I was so sorry to read about Grandmattie's tragic loss, sending sincere condolences to you GM and your family.
And to Harrigran, hope your DH is recovering a d you are getting a little rest.
