Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark , but dry and less windy this morning, but could be colder outside here in Brackley.
Today, small shop etc , nothing spectacular planned , I think my phone problem is a mute one , and hopefully I have unmuted it so people can hear me on the phone.
Must have pressed the wrong key in error over the weekend last.
Take Care,
Mick

? Urms yes I see how it could happen. I actually didn’t even realise I’d put the photo on until people started saying nice baby, so if we are talking about faux pas’s???

Urmstongran Wed 03-Nov-21 13:37:06

A fulsome apology. I said it twice.

Urmstongran Wed 03-Nov-21 13:34:59

Ah right Scentia. Sorry for my mistake. I think this did it DGS is still a bit off after his flu vaccine and it is a week today, he had a nap yesterday afternoon which is very unusual and asked to go to bed at 5pm?

I thought that comment was about the baby in the photo!
Although I must admit I did think s(he) was a little young to be ‘asking’ to go to bed. And getting a ‘flu vaccine I suppose.

Ha! ?

Glad your results are looking good Cherry?

Scentia Wed 03-Nov-21 13:04:45

Deffo Grand daughter Urms. I know it seems like yesterday she was born but she is coming up for 6 months. Time has flown by.

Urmstongran Wed 03-Nov-21 12:11:12

I’ve got mine on a low light now for Christmas.

Crikey I don't think I will try Jerusalem Artichokes......I'll stick to sprouts instead wink

Sorry *grannySomerset”, the jokes are in bad taste - I hadn’t read any further when I commented…. Many apologies.

Heavy cloud today with drizzly rain. Not doing much today but might start a knitted cardigan for myself. Take care all and stay safe.

grandMattie Wed 03-Nov-21 11:48:30

Urmstongran

Do you have smelly wee then grandMattie? Do share.
?????

Only when I eat asparagus in th3 spring! ??????

DanniRae

What a lovely, smiley baby!
I googled the two types of artichokes as I didn't know anything about them. I was surprised that Jerusalem artichokes are from the sunflower family and you only eat the roots.
Is it artichokes that make your wee smell? My information on google didn't say about that.......confused

No, it’s asparagus that makes your wee smell of drains! The Jerusalem version of the veg is often called “fartichoke”for obvious reasons. ?

A late good morning from me but I have been to church?!

Urms I remember singing that song in a school concert aged about 5 but the words I recall are ‘Oh can you wash a sailors shirt, oh can you wash it clean, oh can you wash a sailors shirt and hang it on the green’
Probably another verse, but to tell the truth my main memory is of standing up while everyone else was still kneeling down!
I blame that for my lifelong horror of performing in public!!

?GrannySomerset and good wishes to all???

Good Morning to you all, from an overcast, chilly, but still dry Cambs.,

Happy Anniversary Mr & Mrs Jaxjacky. wine

Warm wishes to you all, especially harrigran & those with added worries. flowers

Grandmadinosaur Wed 03-Nov-21 10:38:57

Happy Anniversary Jaxjacky and Mr J have a lovely time away.

Sar that’s not good news . Hope the family aren’t too poorly with it.
Take care today Marydoll after your exploits yesterday.
I am currently in the city centre having a pit stop for coffee. I have just been in our Primark who have some lovely things in store for Christmas. I know it’s early but I find if with Primark if you don’t get things when you see them it’s too late.
Well coffee finished of to the 2 shops I really came for ?
Take care all.

CherryCezzy Wed 03-Nov-21 10:21:12

GrannySomerset ?. If you can by some means persuade your DH to spend some time in respite - some have brochures and can be very nice places. Maybe get a brochure or two x

GrannySomerset Wed 03-Nov-21 10:20:09

What a lovely thought, NannyTopsy! All kind thoughts are much appreciated as I stare in horror at the pile of paperwork which I need to understand. No wonder I failed O level maths all those decades ago.

Nannytopsy Wed 03-Nov-21 10:17:13

That’s bad news Sar - I hope they all recover soon.
GrannySomerset I wish we could materialise in your house to help out. A GN rota!

CherryCezzy Wed 03-Nov-21 10:15:51

Good morning all from sunshiny Gower.

Sorry to hear that your scan results gave you mixed results Susan, since your left eye proved to be better than thought the right one will very likely improve ?

Happy Anniversary Mr&MrsJax, I hope you have a wonderful break ??

My appointment went well and preliminary results look clear ?

Sorry to hear that many of you and/or family have this dreadful cold/flu that's going around or have family members with covid, flowers all round.

As someone else said - early days harrigran, you are still in my thoughts x

Good morning Mick and everyone from sunny Carlisle.
Yesterday saw the early delivery of a chest of drawers to a bedroom. It did not go well...after I'd unpacked it I found the drawers were faulty, if you pulled one out the one above sagged down at one side. Then it was a wrestling match to push the drawer back in again. I couldn't rectify the problem so called customer care and found a very patient gent on the phone who waited while I struggled to upload the relevant photos. The upshot is that a new one is coming on Friday. Thank goodness! For most of their stuff delivery dates are on 15-17 weeks away.
I've been forking over my new border, bringing the original soil up to mix with the gritty stuff imported by the developer. I have an order of currant bushes which will arrive soon I hope. It's a long time since I've seen black and redcurrants for sale and I like to make pots of jelly with them.
That's a lovely contented-looking baby Scentia.
Happy anniversary to you and DH, Jaxjacky, have a good time.
GrannySomerset, Marydoll and all who are struggling , I wish you a better day.

PollyTickle Wed 03-Nov-21 10:04:18

Oh dear Sar, wishing her a mild dose and a speedy recovery. Hope they’re all better soon.

Sar53 Wed 03-Nov-21 09:54:06

I've just heard that 6 year old granddaughter has covid, that's my daughter and three granddaughters. SIL is still testing negative, PCR test yesterday.
What a poorly household !!!!

PollyTickle Wed 03-Nov-21 09:53:48

GrannySomerset, can I just second what Urms has said. flowers

luluaugust Wed 03-Nov-21 09:52:56

Good morning from sunny W Kent, off to meet a friend for coffee and to sort the world out.
Very best wishes to all. flowers
