Good Morning Tuesday 14th September 2021

Good morning Mick and all who follow. Just lying here pondering and planning my day which holds a little action and much promise. Hope you all have the best one possible in your own neck of the woods. Half way through September........ Where did the Summer go?!

Good morning from West Berkshire where the rain is lashing down .

Football for me tonight but a day in beforehand as I start my Swedish Death Clean whilst listening to my audiobook.

Enjoy your planning Mick which can be as much fun as the actual events .

Wishing you all a peaceful day , especially those who are facing challenges.

Good Morning from a dreary and wet Severnside.
Welcome to cenedra.

Lazy me, I’ve decided not to go swimming this morning and get on with some pottering and such.
There is some stuff to think about how I arrange my next week. Some things are starting up and I am going to have grand dog to stay. I’ve not left him on his own before but I expect he’ll be alright if he sees me go out through the front door.

Take care all ?

Good morning from an overcast south Cornwall. Getting a bus in an hour to see my hip surgeon to ask why one tendon isn't working as well as the other. Then I may continue the same bus journey to the north coast for a walk at Perranporth. Am knitting some dolls for a Macmillan coffee morning sale, almost finished, so will take my knitting on the bus. Have the best day you can.

Morning Mick, morning All. Our corner of Somerset looks damp, don’t think it’s raining now though.

Another quiet day ahead in corner-lane. Not too much energy available to me, I’m really fortunate as the Butler is coping well and settling into his duties . Just wish he’d worry less

There’s a grocery order to sort, a gift to order for a friends birthday and flowers to source for a wedding anniversary. Looks like a busy iPad day for me. As long as I can stay awake that is.

Take care everyone. Hope Tuesday is kind to us all. .

Good morning Mick and all.
Not much doing today think its going to rain here in Hants. Going to asda getting ingredients for sticky toffee pudding for DH birthday on Friday. Wrapping his presents and writing his cards one from me and one from the cat, then I will be knitting this afternoon. Love being retired. Have a good day every one. Rosy

Good morning from a grey, damp Colchester.
Tuesday is charity shop volunteering day. It's a short walk so I hope the rain holds off.

Love to all x

Good morning everyone from Malaga where it’s chucking it down! We have a forecast of 27°C with perhaps thunderstorms. I think we may well cancel LWW today it’s that bad!
☔️

Good morning everyone.
We are sitting on the dock waiting for the ferry across to the Isle of Wight. Hoping that the rain stops by the time we get there.
Love those dolls Alizarin.
Wishing all a smile in your day.

Good morning all and the forecast is wet.
I had encouraged dh to play 9 holes of golf today and after a lot of ‘Umming and Arring’ , he made a few phone calls and decided he would play. Now it’s going to rain and they probably won’t go. ?.

It’s my Bridge afternoon, so will enjoy that.

I love the knitted dolls Alizirin. Very sweet.

Cancelling LWW - Urms whatever next! ?. ?

Notagran - Swedish Death Clean? Sounds a bit drastic!

Mick enjoy your day trips/holiday planning. It’s exciting!

Have a pleasant day, all.

????

Good morning all from a wet Black country.
Alizarin loving the dolls you certainly have talent. My Dil takes her knitting on the bus in fact she takes it everywhere always got something on the go.
Have some cards to post nothing else planned so with either start a new book or catch up with TV.
Welcome any newbies ?,best wishes to anyone celebrating and virtual hugs where required.
Enjoy your day and may you all find some ?.

Good morning from a very rainy Black Country.

We arrived home from Swanage yesterday, where luckily we had a very sunny week! Now the washing begins.

Not been on for over a week as no wifi on caravan site unless you paid £5 a day! So I have probably missed a lot of your news, so will try to catch up later.

Welcome to any new members I have missed

Wishing you all the best day

Good morning Mick, morning all from rainy South Lanarkshire.

We looked after DGS yesterday afternoon so that his mum and dad could attend an appointment. I was then able to collect his sisters from the school bus and hear all their news which was lovely as it was the first time in an age that I’d been needed for the school pick up.

Little pooch is booked into see the groomer today, she (the groomer) is so good with the dog. She has her for over two and a half hours and takes the time to play a bit, cut a bit, play a bit so it’s not a stressful experience.

Not much else happening in baubles towers today.

Wishing everyone a peaceful day.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s light grey cloud but not actually raining yet. The suns trying to get through but I don’t think it will. Yesterday was a lovely sunny day and the workmen in the garden made really good progress.

Today I think I’ll pop into town for a look around the shops and a walk by the river.

Lovely photos nannyjan I hope you enjoyed your break away

Love the dolls Alizarin - clever lady!

Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good morning everyone from a very grey Northampton; heavy rain is forecast later, so I may not get to my afternoon health walk. I may take the opportunity to start a new cardigan, as I have finished my wrap/poncho thingy apart from making loops and sewing buttons on.

A good session at yoga yesterday then kept myself busy the rest of the day. Changed the bed and washed the sheets etc, then after lunch cut the front and back grass. Spent another hour cutting back an overgrown hornbeam. My neighbour popped round with plums from their tree. Sadly our plum tree died a few years ago, so it used to be me giving surplus plums to everyone! The pear tree hasn't obliged this year, but I do have apples on the espalier. I then managed an hour on my new book.

Not a lot planned for today; will just see how it goes.

Lovely dolls, Alizarin , and lovely pictures of Swanage NannyJan.

Morning all. Piddling down here in Cheshire.
Haven't been to SwanageNannyjan It looks beautiful.
Love the dolls Alizarin I knit too but have never done anything like that.
Not much on today. Bit of food prep . The dolls have reminded me I need to accept a Macmillan coffee morning invitation that came yesterday.
Have the best day possible with a bit of ? in your life.

Morning Mick and All.

It’s wet and miserable here in South Bucks.

Love your dolls Alizarin.

Glad you had good weather in Swanage NannyJ. It’s a lovely seaside town that we usually visit via the steam train from Corfe.

Off to visit our 97 year old friend who had a nasty accident 3 + weeks ago. They are hoping to move her to a rehabilitation place. She has a very sharp brain and we know she must be missing the stimulation of her normal life. She says she doesn’t want gifts just company.

Thinking of you grandMattie ?

Good morning from a damp Essex by the sea.
I have to go into town for a few bits this morning, I'll go on the train.
No other plans today.
Love the dolls Alizarin.
I'm attaching a photo of a blanket just finished. I'm in the middle of a second one, easy knitting whilst watching TV.
Have a pleasant Tuesday everyone xx

Another good morning from S Lanarkshire, pouring with rain in my bit!. Hello to cenedra

A busy childminding session yesterday with GS in tricky mode. He said he had his hand up in class for ages and the teacher didn’t ask him what he wanted. I love him dearly but I knew where my sympathies lay!

A walk and a coffee with a local friend this afternoon I hope. If the rain doesn’t stop it’ll just be a coffee and chat.

Also going to try to finish my book for our group which begins again next Monday morning. It started as a Zoom group during the first lockdown and was a good help to all the members, none of whom I knew beforehand. One lady still wants to join in by Zoom but the rest of us will meet in a local hotel. There is a room which is large enough for us to be reasonably spread out and as long as we buy a coffee we can have it for an hour.

Wishing everyone a good day ???

Good morning, all from a rather soggy Sarthe, following a thunderstorm during the night, which appears to have stayed in the EU by travelling South to Spain!

Your photos look lovely, NannyJan53 and the dolls are super, Alizarin! We giggled about your butler, cornergran. Do you have a little bell with which to summon him?! I hope your recovery continues well.

olddudders is becoming increasingly more active and cooked a delicious meal last night of liver, onions, mushrooms, cauliflower and rice. He does tire easily so enjoys an afternoon nap in bed. From what I’ve read it’s not uncommon with osteoporosis, especially when recovering from an injury, potentially, caused by it.

With special thoughts for dear grandMattie at this difficult time. ?????

Good morning all from dismal Durham.

Not much planned for today other than school pick up later but as rain is forecast there will be no visit to the park immediately afterwards.

I may aim to do some paper work organisation and get to grips with a unit we use for bills, documents etc. It needs an overhaul as there is no system to it. I may even order some new storage boxes and files to streamline it all. I think NotAGran55's earlier post has triggered something here.

What beautiful dolls Alizarin. I wish I could be more adventurous with my knitting, but I feel I lack the skill.

Wishing all the best day possible.

Good Morning from the Scottish Borders. It feels chilly today - very Autumnal.
I love your row of little people Alizarin How clever you are!
I am halfway through a baby sock but have literally lost the thread! Luckily yarn group tomorrow so someone will save me.
Beautiful seaside photos NannyJan
I have the chiropractor this morning, followed by yoga for the first time in many weeks. it's still on zoom so perhaps I can be gentle on myself

Hope you all have the best day possible.

Gorgeous blanket too Sar. So cheerful.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x
