Good Morning Monday 13th September 2021

I like Sherry too!

Good morning all, grey skies at the moment , but I see blue patches , so live in hope ! It’s cold out, I usually fling the doors and windows open when I get to the kitchen , but it looks like caution will be needed now
I put some autumn flowering bulbs in various spot , including a pot ful at my patio door , loads of green sword like leaves so far but not a sign of a flower , and for the life of mme I can’t remember the name! What do you mean ….. labels! Nope gone missing tooo sigh !

Nerines Aggie?

I have nerines already Nannytopsy but thanks for the suggestion , the leaves on these are very long , I think they are related to Gladioli , but the flowers ( if they ever appear) are smaller
Thanks again xxx

Crocosmia perhaps aggie?

Good morning all from a dull Black country.
Haven't read through yet late rising this morning, will come back after breakfast.
Might let the vacuum out on day release later.
Enjoy your day everyone and may you all find some ?.

Good Morning all. It is rather overcast here , just outside Southampton.
I think we will visit a NT property today which is about half an hour away. After that we will see what we fancy depending on the weather.
Hope everyone can find a smile on their day.

Nope not Crocosmia , these flowers will be white with a dark centre , but thanks baubles
I’ll put up a photo if they ever appear ?

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning all, my first time on gransnet, seems a great site….?

Welcome Cenedra.

Morning Mick, morning All from a cloudy corner of Somerset where I’m lazing in bed.

Home yesterday without incident, instructions to walk no further than the garden for two weeks and no, I can’t have a celebratory glass of wine - what???? BP was lower than they wanted on discharge, advised to go slowly, so much better than high BP. for sure. Lower still this morning. I’m sure it will pick up once I’m off for my much anticipated shower. Our son drove Mr C to the hospital to retrieve our car then came back with us in case I needed help, of course I didn’t, no faith in his parent! All in all I’m pretty good and pleased to be home. The Butler is doing a sterling job and will be much better appreciated once he stops fussing .

You and your family haven’t been out of my thoughts Mattie, your love for each other will support your way through. Hope your husband is more comfortable harri, so much worry and distress for some of you. Pleased the news about your husband is more positive ash. Safe travels jax, enjoy your change of scene.

Hope a Monday is gentle with us all, take care everyone.

A warm welcome Cenedra where are you?

Good Morning Mick and everyone, and welcome, Cenedra.
It's gloomily grey here in Carlisle though we could do with some rain for the garden.
Yesterday was a notable day...I got out early and washed the car! It was a disgrace, dirtied by living next to a building site and being driven round country roads. Since spring, I'd just confined myself to hosing the dust off occasionally, obviously totally insufficient as my bucket of water was soon very black. I finished it off with a chamois and, for the rest of the day whenever I passed the window, I had to look out and admire it gleaming away!
Today should be a laundry day but that's postponed as I have a routine hospital check up which will probably involve a blood test. My only concern will be finding a car parking space though that hasn't been a problem since covid.
My thoughts are with you, grandMattie, it's good you are together with your family supporting each other.
The best possible day to all.

Hello cenedra .
I love a Sherry too, especially while cooking the Sunday roast .

Good morning Mick and all from Cloudy Chambers Lancashire coast.
It certainly was a long day trip by coach yesterday to Whitby, coast to coast, but getting them in before the winter. I enjoyed it, but wish my back didn’t give in after walking around for a bit. I have a Velcro back support, which is a great help, but the dull aching gets me down as I love sightseeing. I found a very eccentric museum started by a local patron full of weird curiosities, I love places like that.
DS coming later, will pick apples and plums and write some postcards which I do even for little trips.
Thoughts to harrigran grandMattie and welcome cenedra

Good morning all!
Hollysteers I hope that you saw the Dead Man’s Hand!
Thinking of you GrandMattie

Good morning Mick and all. It’s pouring down here in Lancashire and much cooler. Temperature currently 13°C.

I have a cupboard to empty today, wonder what treasures I might find .

A special to grandmattie

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 ???

Welcome Cenedra
Daisytwoshoes , NannyTopsy and Grandmadinosaur I will raise a glass to you when I have my sherry tonight !

Was that the museum in Pannett Park Hollysteers? I love all the curiosities jumbled together, Mr. B and I were once given a tour by a very knowledgeable local guide.

Good morning Mick and all from grey and dull but still beautiful Anglesey.
A warm welcome to you Cenedra, are you north, south, east or west?
Another imbiber of Sherry here. A good club to be in.
Glad you’re safely home Corner and that the butler is doing well.
Glad you’re able to find a few random pink flamingos grandMattie in your memories of your Philip. Memories to treasure.
Hope everyone finds a few.
Have the best day you can?

Hope Mr H had a better night Harrigran.
Hope the back improves Hollysteers and Olddudders too

Another occasional Sherry drinker here, as long as it's very dry. Croft Particular is favourite.

More sherry drinkers than I thought ! My family laugh at me . They won't be laughing now.
Here's to us !

Good Morning from Drizzy Llandudno, nevertheless it's lovely sitting at the window watching the sea roll in and people and dog walking along the promenade - photo a view my my window!
Had a tootle round the town yesterday (it has hardly changed), bought two pairs of trousers and a pair of shoes - the most I've spent on myself since before lockdown. Going shortly to an 'out of town' shopping area, maybe buy new landline telephones, it's so easy to buy stuff here, shops are convenient
I'll have a sherry or liqueur in the evening occasionally also - a nice little it of relaxation after a busy day.

Have as good a day as possible, folks
