Good morning all from the heart of Herts where the day looks dull but dry, hopefully it will improve as it gets lighter.
It's been a busy week with extra DGC care due to parents' extra busy work schedule, I had 5 shifts instead of the usual 2! Hopefully this week things will calm down and we get back to normal.
Last week we celebrated DGS's 2nd birthday and today we have our DS3's 39th which marks the end of the birthday season for our family, so no more celebrations until Christmas.
Wishing all of you a restful Sunday.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where is cloudy and grey but not raining - yet!
Yesterday turned out to be quite a good weather day, we even sat out in the afternoon with a cuppa. I made the most of the weather and like you Beechnut spent hours pottering in the garden. Today will probably be the same if it stays dry or maybe sorting out the garage and shed if the rain comes in
Pleased you had a reasonable night harri please look after yourself as much as you can.
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good morning all and it’s very still and quiet here in Essex.

We washed and prepared the front door for a new coat of Polytrol . Its a composite door and hasn’t worn very well. I did consider painting it but reviews say it’s not advisable. Has anyone tried doing it.

GranMattie - enjoy the ‘humdrum’. ?
Harrigran pleased you had a good nights sleep. ?
Susan - garden soup sounds lovely. How does your dh get rid of tomato skins? Does he put it through a sieve?

Wishing everyone a lovely Sunday. ????

Good morning all from a wet North Leicestershire. Doubt we will be going to feed the ducks today but Persie will come with me to feed DS1's cat. And, she and Pa will be making biscuits!

Roast pork for lunch.

Have the best day possible all.

Morning Mick, morning All. Light cloud over our corner of Somerset.

General faffing for me today. Mr C has promised to tackle the ironing. If the sun peeps out later will have a short walk. Granddaughter is apparently feeling reasonably OK, her sister says having her in isolation is weird, she’s there but not there. Apparently it’s very quiet. Now we know who makes all the noise. smile.

Enjoy your family day nanKate. Pleased you managed to sleep harri. Thinking of you grandMattie. A quiet day sounds just right mick.

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

Good morning from Shropshire.

DGD stayed another night so we will take her to her swimming lesson.DD will meet us there to collect DGD.Hoping to then come home and get the house and us sorted for the week ahead.The washing machine has broken,new one will be delivered next Monday so we will take the laundry to DD’s tomorrow.

DH will make ‘garden’ soup for lunch with the last of the home grown tomatoes.We’ve had a really good crop this year.

Glad you had a good sleep harri and that you have help again today?

Hope Iris enjoys the weekend away?

Have the best day you can everyone??

Good morning Mick and All.

It’s misty here in South Bucks.

Off to NT Polesden Lacey to meet up with the family today. Haven’t see my boys since late August and I am longing to give them a hug.

So pleased you got a decent night’s sleep harri.

harrigran Sun 17-Oct-21 07:05:55

Good morning from a dry NE.
Had a good sleep after getting DH settled last night. DD and SIL stayed until they were sure I had everything under control and then I went straight to bed.
DS and family coming today, always lovely to see GDs, they brighten the day.
Still not able to arrange a flu vaccination, wouldn't you think they would ensure carers are taken care of ?
Thank you for kind messages of support.
Enjoy your Sunday.

Good Morning everyone from Severnside where it’s dry and dark.

I spent many hours in the garden yesterday. I started off with just the intention of cutting down the branches of a shrub and then my neighbour said they were having a new fence put up next month so I cut trimmed my shrubs back so the don’t get in the way. That particular boundary fence is my responsibility and I have a wire fence. They obviously don’t want to look at that since they took down their Leylandi hedge.

Today I may take things easier and do some crafting and pottering.

Take care all and enjoy your roasts ?

Good morning from dark E Kent.
Back to our normal humdrum lives. The early service at 0800 but no virtual church as DD is away. They have gone to the Lakes for a fun weekend with a Lower Limb Disability charity, I hope Iris is a Leto join in and enjoying it.
Still finishing last week’s chicken so no roast tonight.
Hope harrigran managed some sleep. Wishing all our posters, and those missing, a peaceful day. Carpe diem. ??????
