Welcome back Blossoming..have missed your posts and wish you well ?

Welcome back Marydoll and Blossoming.

Hi Blossoming ?
Welcome back!

Good morning Mick and all from cool, cloudy Lancashire, hope you all have a peaceful, relaxed weekend.

I have been missing from‘Good Morning’ for a few weeks as I have not been very well and struggled to be compos mentis before noon. I’m getting better, have a negative PCR test, so now to concentrate on recovery yet again! What a selfish thing chronic illness can be, demanding time and energy.

Lovely to see you, marydoll. Hope you are managing your health issues.❤️
Gramaretto, we had R 2D2 and a bunch of Lego flowers on Philip’s cardboard coffin. All very apt as he was a paper recycling engineer, loved Star Wars and Lego! ?

Wishing you a Happy Birthday Pittcity ?and a Happy Anniversary to you and MrP ?enjoy your Italian.

Good Morning all from dry Harrogate
Yesterday I had an interesting comparison, had to take 2 items back to 2 supermarkets, took a pair of trousers back to Asda, apologised because we couldn't find the receipt, no problem said they if you are happy with a voucher. Yes, that is fine so did some shopping, then went to Morrisons with a baking tin + receipt. It had some plastic on it, which I had noticed when I washed it, but there was no instructions about it on the instruction sheet. I told the girl i wasn't too impressed with the black plastic pasta on offer from the bake below it. Oh she said, " you can still use it, though" poking at the remains of the black plastic which was baked on. I said I don't fancy a cake with black plastic currants, which could happen! "Oh, I'll find out how to get you a refund then!"
Actually I'd have been happy with a replacement tin, and I would have known to take the plastic hook off before using.
Chocolate teapot springs to mind.
Harrigran I really think it's time you changed surgeries for one who cares?
I know your days will feel empty for a while GrandMattie but hopefully your family will support you
Have a great day everyone

Good morning Mick and all from a mild but dull Lancashire coast.
Meeting a friend for exhibition and lunch in the gallery, one of my favourites. The exhibition is of ceramics, so nit my absolute favourite, but a reason to go.
Annoyed with myself as friend arranged to borrow my bicycle for an event and fixed a time, but I was downstairs in this split level house and didn’t hear the bell. It really is not loud enough (nothing to do with my hearing!) so off we go again on Monday..
Another musical run through yesterday for Xmas music, then I popped into Marks and Spencer, one of the group tagging along and bought avocados, cucumber (grateful for half portions) and general green things as feel I need them.
Met a theatrical acquaintance I haven’t seen for yonks and was shocked at her appearance. She said lockdown had plunged her into low spirits. She had a grey moustache and large grey eyebrows.
Thoughts to harrigran grandMattie ?

Happy Anniversary to the Pittcity’s ??
and Happy Birthday ???

Happy Birthday and Anniversary Pittcity ?????‍❤️‍?,. A lie in is certainly in order, I hope the rest of your day is joyous and your Italian meal delicious.

And a very “Happy Birthday to You” Pittcity ? ? ? ?

Grammaretto, would appreciate the name of your restaurant on the Tweed, please. I'm often in that area and love
nice new places.

So pleased to see you Marydoll ?

Him

Happy Birthday Pittcity and happy anniversary to you and MrP. No excuse for hi. Forgetting either occasion when they’re in the same day ?
Have a lovely day

Good Morning all
It’s a great morning here , my eldest son is here for a few days , after two and a half years !
And Marydoll is posting , welcome back xxx

Good morning from sunny Colchester. A warm day here.
Had a lie in as it's my birthday and wedding anniversary (2 birds one stone!). We are not the celebrating type so DH and I are finishing off decorating the kitchen diner. It's something I've wanted ever since we moved here in March.
We've got a table booked at a local Italian this evening.

Happy to see Marydoll back and sending love to you all xx

Crossed posts Mary so pleased to see you back!

A return visit to say seeing our own Marydoll back on GN has made my day. ?

Thank you Ashcombe and NannyJ I have arthritis in my thumb and shoulder, I mustn’t moan as many on here have worse aches and pains. My poor friend can hardly walk.

BlueSapphire can I have a portion of your roast chicken dinner, plus gravy please ? ?

Good Morning from the Scottish Borders. A bit cooler today but not raining. I have my double jags later today.
Hello to Marydoll
Lovely photos Ash

I took DMiL out to lunch yesterday. I had tried to book a table overlooking the river Tweed but alas 2 noisy men were in that and they never even looked out the window.
Next time DMiL can choose where we go. The ambience and service is more important than the food for us. She eats like a bird and I was nursing a tooth extraction. Still, it was an adventure.

I am glad your day was gentle grandMattie and I send Harrigran my best wishes for a sensible doctor.

A friend has a fun bunch of Lego flowers on her table which made me chuckle someone was looking for nice artificial flowers

A later good morning everyone from me in south Manchester. Another here who had paracetamol in the middle of the night. I pulled the muscle in my side yesterday doing housework. Stretching to polish a huge mirror! We had so must dust in the apartment as we’ve been away all summer. I’m not a fan of housework at the best of times.

It should come with a health warning. I intend to return to type - see here.

Himself is making a huge pan of chilli which will do us nicely for tomorrow when my stepfather joins us. Plus we will take a large dish round to the family for tomorrow - saves them cooking this weekend. We are babysitting from 4pm as daughter and son in law want to have early drinks and a curry in the town centre.

Gosh such posh days out Ladyleftfield and NotAGran! ?
Nice to have ‘cultured’ posters on here. You can join Maw another lady with refined tastes.
?

Your cats are real beauties BlueSapphire I bet they take some brushing to keep them so gorgeous!

You’re back Marydoll! Your fan club awaits those novellas dear lady in anticipation.

Enjoy Saturday all who can. It’s mild here, no sun and I think ‘damp’ best describes it! Ooh I’ve not had my breakfast yet and can smell chilli con carne ...

Beautiful autumn morning here with another unexciting (I hope) day in prospect. Still awaiting a delivery for DH which has dominated the past week with first delivery late and containing the wrong thing, second delivery should have been yesterday ……. All very annoying and I must do a supermarket run at some point today. Minor irritations compared with the outrageous treatment of harrigran and her DH.

So good to see the much missed Marydoll posting again and hope to see more of her though sorry life has been so difficult of late. Glad that grandMattie had a good day with her family after a very hard week. Hope we all have a reasonable day today.
