Good Morning Monday 4th October 2021

Good morning Mick and everyone from a quiet, fine Torbay. Sounds like a special morning, Mick. Enjoy!

Although I brought tins, pasta, rice and wine from France, I will need to visit Lidl this morning for fresh items. Later, I’ll return to my “Move It Or Lose It” class. I expect that will be a struggle!!

I hope this is the start of a good week for everyone. ?for harrigran and ??for grandMattie. ?????

Good morning everyone from a still dark damp-looking Northampton. Up early today as it's yoga this morning and I need to be ready for my lift.

Planning on making my Christmas puddings when I get back today; thought I'd get the ingredients needed for puddings and cake last week; the only thing Sainsbury's didn't have was currants, but I can make the weight up with other dried fruit instead.

Hope you enjoy the cycle race, Mick; DH and I always used to go and watch them whizz by when they came through Northants; one year they were within walking distance, and another time passing through a nearby village. Blink and you'd miss them!

Hope Monday is kind to us all.

Good morning from a grey damp E Kent.
I had a bad bight (I sleep badly normally) and overslept….
How very exciting for you,*Mick*!
Hope you have a successful shop, Ash. We’ll got tomorrow to fill up got the family coming on Wednesday.
Today I’d cleaning and getting ready for the visitors. I must bake as well.
Have a good day, snatch any small happiness you can, love well. ?????

Night, not bight ?

Good morning from Essex by the sea where the sun is about to show it's face.
Hair cut for me this morning then some ironing.
Mick one of the stages of the women's race starts from the beach literally two minutes from us on Thursday. Lots of road closures, no parking from Wednesday afternoon. We are going to go and watch the start of the race on Thursday morning. It all sounds quite exciting. Enjoy your day today.
Have a great Monday everyone xx

Morning Mick, morning All from a dry, calm corner of Somerset.

Sounds a good day ahead mick, enjoy it all. After doing nothing at all yesterday must summon some energy today. Need to go to the surgery and do a top up shop on the way back. Later will pick up our younger granddaughter who will unexpectedly spend a few hours with us until her Mum can collect her about 9. Will enjoy her company if not feeding her which can be a challenge. Also need to remind our gas engineer the boiler service seems to have slipped off his to do list.

Thinking of everyone facing challenges today. Hope Monday is kind to us all.

Good morning from a very damp Black Country. It is bright blue sky at the moment, but rain is forecast.

Walking for Health walk this morning, then a meet up with friends for coffee this afternoon.

DD has a decision to make about applying for a promotion at work. She talked to the girls about it, as it would mean that she would be busier and would affect them all. 10 year old DGD said, "As long as you are happy Mummy I don't mind" Then she said "Will it mean more money"?

Just watching Rishi Sunak being interviewed. They all manage so well Not to answer the questions directly!

Wishing you all a happy day. With special thoughts to our missing posters.

Good morning from a brightening Colchester.
The cycle tour comes to our High Street on Friday.
Phone calls and admin to tackle today. I'll make curry from leftover roast chicken for dinner.
Love to all ?x

Sar53 and Gingster it’s a good job we are meeting Wednesday am as all cars on the seafront will be towed away from late Wednesday ?‍♀️

Good morning all from bright Harrogate
Yesterday DGS arrived like Whirlwind, which is normal for him. Decided he wanted to play with an alphabet jigsaw, then explained it all to me. He loves the
Little pop up tent and tunnel in the garden, which was a battle with the wind - really got my money’s worth buying them from Morrisons 4 years ago. Then jumping on DH’s bed, back to reading. Have got him a learn to tell the time clock for his birthday at the end of the month. Think it will work for him.
DD1 is popping round this am, Will have to see if she would like me to get a similar clock for DGDs Xmas

Hoping to get a wash done today, hopefully to hang outside, though the red sky outside says ‘maybe not’.
Chat to my school friend this am and sister this pm.
I was disappointed either the strictly result last night?
Enjoy the cycling mick.
for GrandMattie and Harrigran
Keep safe, Keep Well everyone

Good Morning from the Scottish Borders. It is cold and most definitely Autumn . Yesterday was fine for my outdoor art event which was well attended and a happy occasion. But at the end of my long day the electrician came and spent an hour and a half upgrading my wiring. I think he left before 11pm. He's not finished it yet but he assures me it won't be tonight as another client has a broken shower!.
A restful day would be nice.

Hope you all find some peaceful happy moments.

Good morning from Staffordshire.A much better journey over today.

I’m feeling better today but my voice has all but disappeared.DH probably secretly pleased?Arrived in Stafford and B is still fast asleep.Apparently he has had a dreadful night so we will decide if he is going for his taster session at nursery when he wakes up.

Thinking of everyone with challenges,worries and illness.

harri? and mattie????

Have the best day you can everybody.

Good morning Mick, morning all from South Lanarkshire where the rain isn’t far away.

Enjoy your day Mick.

Nothing exciting happening hereabouts, ironing and hair washing on the agenda and that’s about it. Ho hum.

Wishing everyone a peaceful day.??

Good morning all.

Yes GG and Sar - just what I was thinking. ?
I’ve P M’d you both.

Good morning everyone. Rain overnight but dry now and brightening a little here in N. Bucks.
Enjoy your morning Mick.
DH is off to golf and I am
looking forward to lunch with DD1 today. Don’t often get her to myself so a bit special. She was going on to see DD3 and family but as DGS 2 has Covid plans have had to change.
Thought with all who are troubled or poorly. Wishing everyone a smile in your day.

Good morning everyone from South Manchester where the sky in the east is streaked in pink and gold. It looks so pretty. No rain yet.

I’ve no plans. Which is nice. Thought we might go for a drive out somewhere but just remembered the petrol situation so best not tempt fate I suppose by using it frivolously! A day of pottering perhaps. Sort out my jewellery and watches. I’d like less. Too much choice is overwhelming so I tend to wear the same watch, earrings etc and the rest just sit there looking at me balefully...
?

Good morning Mick and all his followers. It looks like a few of you will see the cyclists this week. I hope you pick the dry days!
More rain during the night, but a lovely morning again. I filled the new flower bed with compost and soil and I have laid out my old friends - the plants I moved here. Today I shall check they look right, then plant them, along with daffodils etc. That will be a job well done.
The decorator may finish today or more likely tomorrow and it will be satisfying to get clean and tidy again.
You are early with your puddings BlueSapphire. I am not sure I need to make one this year. How sad is that? There were times when I made three or four.
Well, time for a shower before the decorator arrives. I hope the day is kind to everyone.

Good morning all (again).
Damp and dreary looking here in Essex.

Had a lovely day with the family yesterday and discussed Christmas arrangements. Too soon to think about it really but they like to get organised.

This afternoon I’ll be going to the U3A monthly meeting. A speaker and news of what’s coming up. Sometimes the speakers are really entertaining….. mainly not ! My friend and I sit at the back of the church where there is an escape route.

Wishing you all a gentle day
????

Good morning all,

For now the sun is breaking through and it looks as if we are going to have a decent day. Feels very chilly at the moment though.

We got a lot of gardening jobs done yesterday, collected the last of the potatoes, cleaned out the mini greenhouses and dismantled the plastic one for the winter to protect it from the gales we will no doubt get. It makes the garden look bigger now it’s down. I’ve just got one more very mini greenhouse to tidy and disinfect then those jobs are done. The garden is still looking quite colourful as many plants are still in flower, which is a pleasure to see.

Today I have the bedding to change and wash and some ironing to tackle.

Enjoy your cycle racing Mick. It sounds as if you have a busy day in store.

Take care everyone and ? to all of you with troubles or sadness today.

Good morning all from a clear S Hants. I’m up later, MrJ has long gone to work. Early this morning we had thunder, lightning and torrential rain which woke me, he slept through it all.
I have a drive this morning, then planned garden tidying, but more showers are forecast.
Mick that sounds pretty special, enjoy yourself.
Thoughts with harrigran: grandMattie and others facing difficult days.

Good morning Mick and all from dull but dry Anglesey.
Your day sounds very exciting Mick, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.
I can hear Orlin singing as he empties the dishwasher, hope my cuppa appears soon.
A day of paperwork today which has been sadly neglected in favour of the garden all summer.
Finally packed my shorts away yesterday. Nice tanned legs hidden by trousers now,
for you all and ?? too
