Good Morning Saturday 30th October 2021

Good morning Mick, morning all from South Lanarkshire. It feels like it’s been raining for ever!

Beautiful runner and mats Mattie.
Belated happy anniversary to you Ash, have a wonderful evening.

We have friends coming over this evening for the first time in ages, also other friends who are viewing a house nearby said they would call in to see us. Sod’s Law that I’ve still got the lurgy and feel like doing nothing more than sleeping.

Wishing everyone a peaceful day.

Good morning from a windy East Yorkshire.

Yesterday I met DIL and dgs for coffee which was nice. She has a relative staying this week who was also there so that was nice to catch up.
Today need to do another food shop, DH is watching football, me Strictly and somewhere inbween dgs is coming to carve the pumpkin grandad bought him. Phew I’m really grateful for an extra hour sleep after this week.

grandmattie I so admire your sewing skills. Those mats and runners are lovely.
Have a good day everyone.?

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s chucking it down. We have no plans whatsoever today. Lovely, after a busy childminding one yesterday. Himself will watch Man. Utd against Tottenham at teatime, testing his equilibrium sorely I expect. I plan a very idle day just because I can. I might be tempted to stay in my pj’s too multicoloured so budge up ...

I loved your hedgehog story grandMattie (and that sewing! Oh my.) and your tale about the power switch Marydoll! This is such a wonderful place to start the day.

Ashcombe enjoy the Nutcracker. I’d love to see it. I might one year. Perhaps take L’il Miss when she’s bigger. Poor girlie has developed earache on top of her snotty nose and spiking temps. I think she won’t be in school on Monday but we are home so can mind her if need.

Good morning from a very very wet east Midlands. Happy weekend to you all.

Good morning and I’m late today. Didn’t wake up til 8.15. Unheard of for me and poor little pooch was crossing her legs. I apologised to her for any discomfort I had caused.?.

It’s raining here on the Suffolk coast. Yesterday was our first day of rain in the 10 days we’ve been up here. We had a glorious walk in the forest where the autumn colours were spectacular.
In the afternoon we visited our old neighbour who has moved in to my late SIL’s bungalow. How strange it was !

Last evening I went to our local small theatre to see/hear Haiku Salut lamp show. I thought it would be a folk group. But no! It was quite bizarre with 20 or so lamps of all shapes and sizes connected to a computer, so they flashed on and off to the ‘music’. Lots of electronic instruments and all sorts of noises. 3 young ladies who never said a word, just wandered around the stage making sounds . Not music as I know it. They have been going for 10 years and play all around the country. Anyone heard of them?

Dh has just gone to the tip and to get the papers and a baguette., to have with smoked salmon for brek. Yum.
I thought of Urms yesterday while we ate our Burford Browns. Delish! Can’t get the in a lot of places.

Today we will tidy the cottage ready for our journey back to Essex. We have a lot on in November so probably won’t be back until mid December.

Enjoy the rugby Sar. Hope you have a better journey home. ?

Enjoy your Saturday , everyone. Don’t get too wet ?

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a very wet South Yorkshire. GS stayed over last night and is not about yet. He is not being collected until mid afternoon, so we will have him for a little longer. Always good! He brought me back some kippers from Whitby so that’s my lunch sorted!
Hope someone somewhere has some dry weather today. Have the best day you can, all.

Good morning everyone, it’s dry at the moment and a clear sky after a wet night , there is a down pipe and drain outside my bedroom window , the gurgling wakened me ,
I have a pile of washing to hang out before I run out of unmentionables !
My much younger sister rang yesterday , her tv was on the blink , wouldn’t change channels , I told her to pull out the plugs and start again , she said no , she would go to the sop and get the young man to come !
Got a txt last night , she had unplugged it and gone out , then plugged it back in when she came home …….Bingo it worked !! She thinks I’m a genius ?

Good morning all from a lovely sunny Anglesey after another night of rain.
Lots of scrumptious breakfasts on here this morning, especially those kippers.
Enjoy the rugby Sar.
Have a bright and breezy day everyone ?

By the way it’s no secret any more that I was LauraNorder. It’s like being in a witness protection programme!
Just to say thanks to all of those who cottoned on and pm’d to welcome me back. You’ve no idea how much it’s appreciated.

Good morning from soggy Sefton by the sea.
What a clever lady you are, GrandMattie: the table runner and mats are beautiful. Isn’t it fun to create names for dishes? A friend last weekend cooked frog in a bog (toad in the hole) while you’ve christened your casserole “hedgehog”. Can anyone add to these?
“The Nutcracker” is pure magic, Ashcombe - another delightful way to celebrate your welding. After a long wait to see each other, life looks good.
Instead of streamlining the many cookery books I’ve amassed, I’ve create a mess which I must tidy today!
Thinking of you all and hoping you have the best day possible. ???

Oh pollytickle I didn’t know !! Mind you I’m usually quite slow at cottoning onto things ? welcome back!!

Good morning Mick and all from a dull Lancashire coast. A ‘free’ today. Just as well, if a burglar entered, they would think I had already been done…
Yesterday I got my times mixed up for the practice for Christmas and other concerts and was setting out as if for a Tuesday run through (too late) so missed it. Had a lot on all week, but still…
Watched Falling for Figaro last night, so so and cheesy. I thought Lumley was a ridiculous caricature of a singing teacher. She could be played eccentric of course, but it was completely over the top. I should keep away from rom coms.
Lovely handiwork “grandMattie*, thoughts to harrigran and hello again PollyTickle from your beautiful island!

Good morning Mick and everyone from dark rainy Carlisle where sun is promised this afternoon. It will be a quiet day of baking, reading and brain training for me I think. Obviously the brain does need perking up because, PollyTickle, I am one who hadn't cottoned on! Glad to see you back.
grandMattie, I'm envying your talent, just a clumsy left-hander me.
Have a good weekend everyone, let's hope for some sun.

Sun here now EkwaNimitee after heavy rain earlier, I’ll send some up to you!

It’s good to see you back on GN, LauraNorder.
I’m now going to look up ginger grundy, Haiku Salut and Burford Browns. The mess I’ve made won’t tidy itself, though, will it?

Love the new name Pollytickle

Silly me - I’d forgotten about BBs. Can anyone post a pic of ginger grundy, please?

Poor old Orlin has had to change his name to Prack.
The mother in law is not at all happy, always known as Critt.

And is FIL Par?

It’s like being in a witness protection programme! now that really made me laugh!

Hello PT, I did wonder when I read a post of yours referencing Anglesey! Love the names, {you are very clever to think them up)- thankyou, they brought a smile on a wet morning!

P.s. our larder downstairs (aka Sainsbury’s) always has Burford Browns in stock. Lucky us!

Welcome back PollyTickle.Was wondering what Orlin’s new moniker would be!

No Lizzie he’s all at sea so he’s Nor
But we do have a son Par, keen golfer.
Then there’s Art, the writer.
Op the illusionist
A maiden Aunt who tells fortunes, no one knows her first name so we just call her Miss Tickle
Then there’s poor old Tess
Nuff said
There are ten Tickles all together

❤️ these!
