Good Morning Sunday 17th October 2021

I like to read this thread most days,very rarely post...but it seems to me that its dwindling away...sadly.

Good morning everyone from a sunny North Wales. Enjoyed my walk but everywhere was wet so I came home with the bottom of my trousers soaked.
My D and GS have nasty colds but I will drive over to see them later in the week.
Wishing you all a peaceful Sunday.

Good morning all from dry cold Lancashire. We had a wonderful time at the family birthday party last night. I’m sat up in bed drinking tea as it was a late night and very tired. Worth it, as I haven’t seen any of my family since Christmas 2019.

I will read all your posts now, have a peaceful Sunday.

Good morning all. It’s dark and damp in East Yorkshire. Late up today grrr. I hate playing catch up.

Plans for today to wash my hair . Hate doing it as it is so thick and takes forever to dry. Apart from that our usual go out for a coffee and I hope a quiet day today. Dh suggested going out for lunch. Haven’t booked anywhere so will just wing it somewhere.
Will catch up with threads later.
Have a good day everyone. Thoughts to those with worries.
Take care.

“I’m late, I’m late, for a very important date, no time to wave hello goodbye, I’m late, I’m late I’m late!” ? ?

Aargh. I’ve overslept.
Good morning everyone from south Manchester where’s it’s raining. I’ve only been up 20 minutes. Had my ‘flu jab at tea time yesterday, was awake from 2-5am then went back off. Today of all days.

Must jump in the shower now, wash my hair, dress make up and leave an hour from now. Pick up my stepfather and Himself is driving us all over to Yorkshire to have a pub lunch with our eldest girl & her partner. They’ve booked a table somewhere we’ve not been before & we’re meeting them in there and Himself likes to have plenty of time. He regards being late as a cardinal sin....

Will read all your posts when we come home. ?

Good morning from a wet Oxfordshire.
Had a rough night with Asthma problem, but it didn’t result in the Ambulance, so it could have been worse!
Not up to much at the moment and we’ve all got the flu anyway so a rubbish day in store.
Hope all who are not so chirpy have a better day and love and hugs to all with far more to worry about than me.

Good morning Mick and all his followers. It’s grey but dry so far in Suffolk and I must get the grass cut. The original areas hardly grow but the bits of new turf are lush, bright green and long. I must pay more attention to the old bits!
DGC all day yesterday until we took them home at 6.30. They were quite hard work but did help us to plant bulbs. Someone left a greasy fingerprint on the newly painted hall ?.
There’s a bit of ironing to do, ready for our trip at the end of the week but dinner is already made so an easy day.
Gentle hugs to those with aches and pains. Enjoy James Bond Jax - it’ll a good ‘un!

Quiet day planned and husband and son going later to see the new bond film. So nice me time before work tomorrow. Love Sunday’s where I can potter think I’ll be fine in years to come when retirement looms.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders where it's not looking bright at all - barely light and a bit chilly.
I have a sore arm after the booster vaccine - not happened before. I kept waking when I turned onto it last night.
Sorry your day is spoiled Ash and hope you recover soon.
Great to hear things are better at Harrigran's but I am appalled that you get so little help.
This time last year the District nurses came to the house and gave DH his flu and pneumonia shots and did me at the same time. (it was maybe meningitis as well?)

The wee DGC are caravanning with their other DGP. The older ones are in the South of England. and my walking buddy is in Canada.
I will just have to sit and knit.

Have a lovely day.

Good morning Mick and all who followed him. So pleased you managed to get some sleep and your family are around Harri. You are right you should be able to obtain your flu jag when you need it.
Have been up since six as DH working at eight. If all goes well he should finish at two. Ddog recovering from six thirty walk..May start tidying up kitchen cupboards and the Cupboard Under The Stairs. Wishing everyone a peaceful Sunday.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning Mick, morning all from cloudy South Lanarkshire. As stilllearning has said we’ve had rain overnight.

I was awake from 2 till 4 am for some unknown reason after having slept really well all last week in the holiday house. Very annoying.

I’m so glad you had a good sleep harri, you need it.

A quiet day today methinks. It’s changeover day for our priest today so we’ll be introduced to his replacement.

Wishing everyone a peaceful Sunday. ???

Good morning from overcast Colchester. A mild, dry day forecast.
A quiet Sunday here after a busy afternoon yesterday and a chippy tea.
No roast dinner as DH is out and DS will be returning to base. I'll heat up some leftover curry for myself and curl up with a book or TV and begin my hibernation.
Love to all xx

Good morning from a dry and cloudy Essex by the sea. The sun is doing it's best to appear but not making a very good job of it.

DH has gone early to an away rugby game with his grandsons. I've done a pile of ironing and prepared the veg for a casserole.

I'm going to make my Christmas cake tomorrow so must soak the fruit tonight in the brandy we bought yesterday.

I hope you all have a pleasant Sunday xxx

Morning Mick and all

I have just woke up after the best nights sleep for a week, haven’t opened the curtains yet.

Will have a lazy day, let the medications work their magic, I am feeling a bit better each day. Roast chicken for dinner tonight, easypeasy .

The Imp had his first ever sleep over last night with his other grandparents (they are calledNanny and Grandad) so it is extraordinarily quiet here (blissful after the last 3 months).

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Good morning Mick and everyone from dark and rainy Carlisle. It looks like my plan for planting a shrub and some bulbs is scuppered, it doesn't look like clearing up any time soon. Yesterday, I removed more turf than I usually manage, so far without health repercussions.
My next task is the Christmas cake, the dried fruit has already spent a pleasant night wallowing in brandy and smells divine!
After that, picture hanging and reading and generally not doing anything called work.
I hope you all have an enjoyable day, and one without labyrinthitis, Ashcombe.

Good morning Mick and all from an overcast S Hants. Good you’ve had some decent sleep harrigran. Hoping GrandmaSomerset has had a quiet night too.
MrJ enjoyed his boys day out at football, we ended up with kebabs for dinner.
Out later with friends for a tapas lunch before watching Bond, then a quiet evening.
Thinking of those absent and those struggling. ??

Good morning Mick and all from Glasgow, I'm still in bed after another restless night. Gone are the days when I bounced out of bed at 6am.
DH does say it is quite damp outside.

Our only plan today is to find the source of the leak from the washing machine, I came down to a flooded kitchen yesterday, Mr Doll in his own inimitable way, was totally oblivious to the puddle on the floor.
I will need to bite my tongue, while we try to fix it, no matter how difficult that will be. I have a man's brain, love to troubleshoot and fix things, while my husband is the intellectual in this relationship!!! ?

I suspect the problem was caused by the two amateurs (from a reputable company), who delivered and fitted the new tumble dryer. They pulled the old one out, without unplugging it, ripped the cable from the back, leaving a live wire, which tripped the fuse box. The washing machine was then yanked out, to get to the live cable!!! You couldn't have made it up!!

Relieved to read you are getting support, Harri. Life for you and your husband has been a battle, but you do seem a wee bit brighter, now your family are with you and you have had a better sleep.

Kate have a great day, I'm sure your boys are as excited as you are!
Wishing you all a pleasant and relaxing day.

P.S. This has taken me an hour to post, we have no Internet again, so I haven't been able to read all the posts. ?????

Morning from S Lanarkshire, it’s obviously been raining during the night but dry at the moment.

A lovely afternoon with two young DGC yesterday. They greeted me with delighted hugs which raised my spirits wonderfully. Pumpkin carving led by DD thankfully, I am not creative which is a real lack but I did help with the messy bits!

Today should be quite quiet, I’ll finish my book club read although I may not make the group tomorrow morning because of the timing of my flu/booster jab. It was my choice this month so I would like to hear what other people thought.
Small Pleasures, I am enjoying it.

Wishing everyone a peaceful Sunday???

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a wet, dreary South Yorkshire, so it looks like being an “in” day. Makes me wish we had done some gardening yesterday, but I was desperate to get some knitting finished and out of the way (which didn’t help my frozen shoulder), and DH was watching sport on TV. Today we are making the Christmas cake. Fingers crossed that the oven is in a good mood - it’s been a bit temperamental recently.
Harri glad you had a better night’s sleep??.
Hope someone has some sunshine somewhere!

Gingster he skins the tomatoes by sticking a fork in them and plunging them into boiling water.We call it garden soup because he uses veg he has grown although we had to buy carrots for today.

Ash, my energy levels are running low!

Good morning everyone from a cloudy and dull Northampton. Looks like rain, but we shall see; anyway, no plans to be out of doors.

Had a good walk to the surgery yesterday for my flu jab, and now I have a very sore arm. Got the bus part-way back, popped in the newsagents to pay my paper bill - they had a shock, as it's the first time I've been in since before the first lockdown! I usually pay by bank transfer.

Then a browse round the local Co-op for some different cat food, which I am pleased to say the cats fell upon.

A quiet day in today with the Sunday papers and a new book. Bacon butty shortly!

Take care and stay safe everyone.

Oops, too soon.
Thoughts with all who are sad, worried or poorly. Hope you all find a smile today.

Good morning to you all.
Just a quick message today I’m off to spend the day with a group of ‘craft’ friends. Most haven’t seen each other for nearly 2 years . More talking than crafting methinks !

Good morning, everyone, from Torbay, where it’s gradually brightening up.

Wish I was! This morning, I should have been playing the piano at church but last night, I had a return of the symptoms of labyrinthitis which I’d first had in late August. I couldn’t finish my dinner, which is unusual. Luckily, I’ve found a substitute to play but I hate to let people down.

Beechnut: what a busy day you had so I think a crafting day is well deserved. I hope you’ve found your service uplifting, grandMattie and that Iris enjoys her weekend. It's good to know you’ve slept well, harrigran, and I hope your flu vaccination is available soon.

When I was a child, we lived near Polesden Lacey and I have happy memories of visiting it, NanKate. Susan56: you sound as busy as ever, as does Beechnut! I admire your energy!

Wishing you all a blessed Sunday. ?????
