Good Morning Monday 27th September 2021

Good morning from Staffordshire.An awful journey over her, torrential rain all the way and DH snoring beside me?I couldn’t wait to get off the motorway but the side roads were all flooded?was glad to get here.

We had a lovely day yesterday celebrating Henry’s 2nd birthday,just what we needed after our stressful Saturday.DD throws a good party and all her friends are so lovely and welcoming to us.

Happy birthday NanKate and Grandmadinosaur?????

Today I am taking B to look at the nursery attached to the local primary school.As DD and SIL are both teachers the duty falls to me.It’s quite a responsibility deciding if it’s the right choice for him.

Thinking of everyone coping with sadness,illness and worries.

Have the best day you can everyone????

Good morning Mick and all from a wet, blustery S Hants. Very Happy Birthdays to NanKate and Grandmadinosaur ?????.
We had a lovely bbq in the sun with family yesterday, my DS asked if he could go into the loft, cue three smaller bodies haring upstairs, children love lofts! A couple of board games came down, then reminiscing and laughter.
DH gone to work, hopefully he comes across some diesel today or he won’t be working after tomorrow.
Thoughts with you grandMattie, ploughing on and others struggling. ??.

?”oh what a miserable morning!”?
Good morning all, it’s a wet Monday morning and Autumn is really here. Regretting not getting into the garden yesterday, but perhaps the rain will wash some of the pigeon poo off the patio. I can’t wait for the bird proofing !
Going to do my Art History class by Zoom today and I think I am not alone in trying to save what precious fuel I have in my car - but annoying as it felt so good to be getting out to see people again. Life seems to be one Plan B after another.
Wishing you a pleasant day though and many happy returns to the “birthday girls”

Good morning and ……. It’s raining here on the Suffolk coast. ?. The wind is very strong and the sea is choppy. After the beautiful week we’ve had here, it feels very strange.

We are going back to Essex today and I hope the wind drops before we go over the Orwell Bridge. ??. I think I might have told you before….. many years ago we lost our sky light in our caravan as we travelled over the bridge on a windy day. Goodness know where it ended up. It wasn’t a small one either ! ?. DH managed to get diesel yesterday so we should be ok for a while.

Today we’ll clean and tidy the cottage and garden , so that it’s nice to come back to in a few weeks time. ?.

Happy birthday to NanKate and grandmadinosaur. I hope you both enjoy your special day. ??.

Sar enjoy your last day with the family and hope your journey home goes well.

GG you did well to get the littlies to sleep in. ???

Scentia - mice are my worst nightmare. ???.

Urms I hope your little girlie proves negative.?.

Have a gentle , if damp day , one and all. ☔️

Good morning Mick, morning all from dreich South Lanarkshire.

What a change in the weather! DD and DSiL were like drowned rats when they returned from the outdoor music festival last night, they had had a lot of fun though.

No plans to go out today, I think I’ll settle down with my crochet and listen to a couple of podcasts.

Many happy returns of the day to Nankate and Grandmadinosaur

Yesterday at Mass our Parish Priest, who is my age, told us that he is leaving to go to another parish to assist the very much younger priest. He told us he has been struggling for the last few years. It must be a lonely life at times.

Your bravery is an inspiration gMattie, thank you for being here.

Wishing everyone a peaceful day.

Good morning everyone. Umbrellas required here in N. Bucks.
Happy birthday NanKate and Grandmadinosaur.
An at home day for me . Some jobs to do and packing for a short break.
Hopefully a bit of crafting this afternoon.
Hope you can all find a smile in your day.

Happy birthday ? NanKate and Grandmadinosaur
Seems like it's raining all over the country today ! I heard it battering against the window all night.
No plans other than picking up GS from Cubs this evening.
Have a day every one.

Good morning all from the Black country, lots of rain overnight but patches of blue sky showing.
Haven't read through yet but can see NanKate and Grandmadinosaur have birthdays so many happy returns ?.
Nothing planned today need to buy a present for a friend and a trip to the bank but neither are urgent see what DH fancies doing.
Virtual hugs for those feeling down, best wishes for anyone celebrating and safe travels to all.
Enjoy your day and may you all find some ?.

A late good morning from a breezy but dry Sarthe.

DH, olddudders, made TIB at 5.00a.m ? then we slept for a few more hours ?, from which I feel better. This afternoon, DH has an X- ray with another one tomorrow before he returns to his GP to organise an appointment with a rheumatologist.

Happy birthday to NanKate and Grandmadinosaur! ????? Enjoy your special day!

Thoughts are with those who carry a burden at this time, especially grandMattie and harrigran. (Perhaps, your DH could be vaccinated at home.) ?????

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Happy birthday ? ? NanKate and Grandmadinosaur!

Morning all
Raining here in Derby too. Looks very miserable after the sun yesterday. Off to DD’s in a bit to pick up Brian my bearded dragon after my hol. I sort of ‘acquired’ him about 8 years ago - I would never have dreamed of getting one myself, but wouldn’t be without him now! My son moved in to look after my cats so they’ve been very happy. Happy Birthday to NanKate and Grandmadinosaur hope you both have lovely days x

Good morning Michael and all GNs. It’s ‘orrible ‘ere in South Yorkshire - wet and windy. A change from yesterday when we watched GS play football in lovely sunshine. So it will be an “in” day for us today where no doubt I will find plenty to starting with an oven clean?. DH has a surgery appointment this morning.
Happy Birthday to NanKate and grandmadinosaur?? and anyone else who has a birthday today.
Have a good day all.

Good morning from Durham. Lashing down with rain here.
Busy weekend looking after DGS1 and now I’ve got GrandDog2 here for a while, so a wet walk’s on the cards.
Meeting a friend for coffee today - about 10 miles away, so driving in Miss Daisy mode I think!
Hope the birthday girls have a good day ?. X

Good morning from a damp but now very sunny Oxfordshire, DD2 and the children came up for the weekend, it was lovely to see them all.
Then DD2 was brought over she has been so ill, so off to A &E to sit for 2 hours in the car park until 1 am when we were called in, the injection that should have lasted 6 hours only lasted 3 so another night of her being so very poorly, hope the pills he gave her are more effective.
Anyway today I shall mostly be mopping brows and keeping a clear pathway to the bathroom for her!
Hope everyone manages to find some good in the day.

Sorry DD1 came up for the weekend, my sleep deprived brain hasn’t woken up yet.

Good morning from Portugal where the sun is just creeping over the house. A very Happy Birthday to Nankate and Grandmadinosaur, I hope you both have a wonderful day. ????.
NanKate you are a couple of years younger than me, well three if anybody’s counting, and I can still get up from the sofa without pushing myself up so keep at it ??

Scentia I’ve seen photographs of the traffic jams near DD’s house and thought what a ridiculous situation to have been artificially caused.

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday NanKate ???

Two birthdays today.

Happy Birthday Grandmadinosaur have a lovely day ???

Morning, rain pouring down here. baubles, I think we’re getting your priest. My daughter says he’s a lovely man so I’m really pleased.

Happy Birthday *NanKate and Grandmadinosaur.

Off today to meet a Gransnet pal for lunch so wish everyone a good day in spite of the weather ???

Good Morning Mick and everyone from a very wet Carlisle, though the sky is showing signs of brightening. A bit of a change from yesterday afternoon when I went for a walk in the park with my sunglasses on.
It's housework day today so I don't have to go out thankfully.
Happy birthdays, NanKate and Grandmadinosaur, give yourselves a treat and don't do any useful like housework!
I'm in envy of your skill, grandMattie, the waistcoat is wonderful, it will be of some comfort to your grandson I'm sure.
The best possible day to all, with a bit of sun....

Good Morning all from soggy Harrogate - not the only thing soggy - I seem to have a cold, been going on for days. Had a PCR test last week which was negative, so it is just a cold (or long covid) - anyway, made a bit of headway setting up my landline phone, just hope it does what I want it to when it's set up.
Happy Birthday NanKate and Grandmadinosaur
Hope everyone else is coping.
I do love the waistcoat you have made for your GS GrandMattie
When are you coming back Marydoll?
Have the best day you can, folks

Thanks all for the good wishes. How lovely grandmadinosaur we must be GN twins. ????

I love your comment dustyangel ?

Good morning from a heavy showery and blustery South Yorkshire, a big change from recent days.

We were lucky to have lovely, warm weather whilst away, so feel very fortunate about that. At least I got all my washing dry yesterday, so today I will be ironing it.

Happy birthday NanKate and Grandmadinosaur. Enjoy your day.??

Happy birthday NanKate and Grandmadinosaur, I am joining you as it’s my birthday today too! Many happy returns to us!
Lunch out for me at a local gastro pub, I’ve opened my cards and presents and am intent on a restful day ahead.
