Good morning, Michael and all GNs. The sun is out in South Yorkshire. It was pouring yesterday when we set off to watch GS play football but the sun came out and it was very warm. At one point DD looked at me and said “your hat is covered in tiny spiders!” Some of them were abseiling down from the brim!! Not much planned for today - ironing and a bit of housework.
Happy Birthday Nannyjan???!
Have a the best day you can, all.

Good morning Mick, morning all from sunny South Lanarkshire.

stilllearning we really must arrange that meet up one of these days. smile

We collected two of the DGDs from netball practice yesterday, the first time for us. The older one particularly enjoys sport, I’m not so sure about her sister, when she was very little she told her Mummy that she ‘really wasn’t an outdoors sort of girl’.

A long dog walk today I think as it’s such a lovely day.

Happy birthday NannyJan.

How horrible for your poor GC GG13, I hope it can be dealt with effectively.

Holding you in my thoughts
gMattie thanks

Wishing everyone a peaceful day.

Another beautiful day in Oxfordshire, DD2 came to lunch yesterday so the shed clearing will be done today, apart from that and walking her dog a clear day.
Happy Birthday Nannyjan hope you have a wonderful day
GG so sorry about the bullying poor child I hope it gets sorted, as one who was bullied at Primary school my heart goes out to him.
Granmattie so sorry that you are having to do things that no Mother should be having to do?

Sending you my thoughts and flowers Grandmattie - a hard day indeed. I am glad to hear you feel the pain less acutely - it will always be there, we just become better able to deal with it sad

Morning from a lovely sunny S Lanarkshire. Heating has come on so it must have been cold during the night.

Horrible for your GC and family GG13, I really hope things gets sorted soon and properly, that is a real worry.

Book club this morning, another step into normality, let’s hope it lasts.

Then back on my travels for post school childcare. 8 year old granddaughter scored the only goal for her football team yesterday, she was so thrilled. She is not the most confident child so I am looking forward to congratulating her.

Thinking about you grandMattie this morning and wishing everyone a good day???

Good morning from sunny Leicestershire.

Think we must have better weather than you kitty 5 miles away. We had a bright sunny afternoon yesterday and sat outside after our walk!

Happy Birthday NannyJan hope you have a lovely day.

Sorry to hear about the bullying *GrannyGravy. It is so unkind.

Good morning all from a bright S Hants, we had the smallest rain shower yesterday, we need more.
Farm shop, housework and some more washing today.

Good morning from the New Forest. We are booked to go on a boat trip later, but not a river cruise as my friend thought but in a Canadian Canoe. Hopefully we will all stay dry!
Happy Birthday Nannyjan have a lovely day.
Take care and stay safe everyone ?

Good morning from Cheshire.
Looks like a nice day.
Thinking of you and yours GrandMattie You are very brave.
Bullying is so cruel grandmagravy I do hope it gets resolved.
Shopping delivery this morning and vet check up for cat. He will hide when the basket appears as it always means one of two things - cattery or vet !
Sending a ray of sunshine to all.

Good morning from Staffordshire.

We’re back to our early start one day a week to look after our grandson,He has grown up so much over the summer and will be starting at the nursery class in school after half term.He is into pirates and digging for treasure at the moment so I have to get into the garden first and bury some coins!

GrannyGravy, I am so sorry to hear your grandchild is being so badly bullied.Many years ago our eldest daughter was bullied and the school did nothing.The threat of us going to the police and the local press sorted the problem and I hope it is the same for you,As grandmattie says these bullies have no idea of the damage they cause.I really hope that things are resolved soon.

Another difficult day for you grandmattie.Our thoughts and prayers are with you??

Thinking of all with worries,struggles and health concerns.Take care all???

Good morning everyone from Malaga where it’s the start of yet another glorious day of sunshine with a forecast of 29°C. We’re just enjoying our first cuppa of the day and said no gardens now, reading, let’s go out walking to ‘somewhere’. Sounds good to me as we’ve only 4 days left now for enjoying this lifestyle with no calls whatsoever on our time. It’s very restful.
#lazygran

Washer loaded ready to be switched on. We are on a tariff that gives us free electricity for 2 hours from 9am every day.

Sorry to hear about the bullying of a grandchild GG13. Distressing for you all and bad enough to call the Police is pretty shocking. A sad day for you again grandMattie one that you never thought you’d see. My heart goes out to you. And any name for the new baba yet Maw?
?

Right, 3 minutes to go till I press that start button on the washer ...

Enjoy Monday all who can. x

Good morning from a bright Black Country.

Well, I have reached the grand age of 68! It only seems yesterday I was 60, so no idea where the last 8 years have gone.
We are going to a Spa Hotel in Buxton in a couple of weeks, as a celebration, today a lovely walk in the countryside, and MrJ is cooking me a steak dinner tonight. After a lovely meal at DD's yesterday, I am being spoilt.

GG13 that is so upsetting what is happening to you dear GC, I sincerely hope a stop can be put to it, so worrying for you all.

Good morning all and yes it is grey here in Essex.

We are off to our cottage by the sea today - just for a week. I hope the weather will be kind. We will put the garden straight (again) and have some lovely autumnal walks.

GG I can’t believe your road has more water problems. I will warn my friends who live nearby.
So sorry to hear about the bullying. Children can be nasty. I hope it gets sorted very soon. ?

granMattie . - my thoughts are with you today. ?

A gentle day to all ?

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s a bright and dry start. Yesterday afternoon turned out lovely, warm and sunny, this summer has been so good up here, we’ve been really lucky.
Today I’m off to the Aqua class at the gym and then lunch with my pal after the class. The gardeners here have more or less finished the path and seating area now so we’ll be tidying up a bit and doing the finishing touches.
My heart goes out to your DGC Gg13 I hope a very firm stop is put to the bullying soon.
Another difficult day grandMattie hope a few ????? help
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good morning from a grey skied Colchester. Rain yesterday evening and more in today's forecast. Still warm though, so no heating or coats needed yet.
I have a mammogram this afternoon and may take the opportunity to walk as we now live much nearer the hospital.
Hopefully our faulty kitchen window will be replaced today. The company keeps cancelling appointments for one reason or another, so I'll believe it when I see it.
Love to all x?

grandMattie Mon 20-Sept-21 07:36:46

Oh, GG13, that is awful! Poor child. I’ll be praying for them.
The bullies have no idea of the damage they do, thinking it’s all a joke.
