Good Morning Thursday 4th November 2021

Happy birthday greyd. Hope there will be cake ?? Love the sound of your family meal.

Good morning from sunny Sefton. Today I have an appointment in Cheshire, my county of origin, which will be combined with a mooch in some shops, lunch out and a countryside ramble. There may be a stop at Ikea on the way home…
Thinking of those celebrating ?, recovering, troubled and in need of a hug. ???

Happy Birthday Greydusterenjoy your meal with family .???

Good morning - it's a bit cold grey and damp in N Bucks . I'm off to Compton Verney for the day for the Grinling Gibbons and John Nash exhibitions. Given the weather I dont think I'll be admiring the gardens though ?

Wishing you all a pleasant day.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. We have the potential for a bright day in South Yorkshire today, which is good, because it is my 75th birthday. We are eating out tonight with the family at a lovely pub so something to look forward to. In the meantime a quiet day with much to reflect on.
Beechnut I hope you feel better very soon.?
Jax I didn’t get around to wishing you a Happy Anniversary yesterday so please accept belated good wishes.??
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning everyone from a grey and windy Northampton.

No plans to go out today as I am having to isolate, due to someone I was in contact with last Saturday at rugby testing positive for covid. I did a lateral flow yesterday as soon as I knew, which was negative, and am awaiting delivery today of a PCR test. I have contacted people I was with on Monday and Tuesday. The person I was with on Saturday has no symptoms and is feeling well; he only found out as he had to do a test before flying out to Portugal for a golfing holiday on Monday - obviously he has not gone!

So, should have been at ballet today, but will be catching up on my knitting and reading instead. Will also get the towels in the washing machine. Also expecting a Sainsbury's delivery late morning. And a delivery from John Lewis of earrings for my elder DGD's birthday next week.

Best wishes to all, especially those feeling anxious, poorly or worried. May the day treat us all kindly

Good morning everyone the blackout curtains in this house are doing nothing for the sunshine which is blazing through. It’s pretty frosty outside so himself says while bringing the bins around

Dare he put his hands on me else there would be a murder

We’re both off out this morning I must wear sensible clothing

Have a good day everyone enjoy the moment

Good morning from a bright ,dry but chilly Co Armagh .
Nothing planned for today , but I might heat the griddle and make soda falls , why ! ? Because I accidentally put a big spoon of plain yogurt in my cup instead of on my muesli! I had already put in milk , but not the tea ! My Scottish genes won’t let me throw out the milk !
harrigran I never let my lot beat me at Scrabble ! But it is lovely that they are all nurturing you just now xxx. I

Good morning from a light grey Colchester. Not as chilly as yesterday.
Marydoll my DH needs to learn from yours. Yesterday he went to put his plate in the dishwasher. His words were, "It's full so I'll leave my plate here for you to fit it in!"
Today I am getting him up the ladder to finally paint the lounge ceiling. I will try to keep out of his way by going shopping.
Jay's quiz with family online tonight.

Love to all xx

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Sounds like a lovely son Harrigran, don’t let him beat you at scrabble though

Good morning all from bright Harrogate with a dry day promised!!
Yesterday went to M&S in town bought the sheet that the website wouldn’t let me do, they’ve ordered the other sheet.
Took less time than I wasted on the website.
Today I have Sainsburies delivery and Hopefully will have the ingredients to make one Christmas cake ? I usually make a big one for DD1 who usually hosts Xmas ? dinner and a smaller one because I love them! Tonight is my zoom with my sisters.
Beechnut I do sympathise I had a spell when I kept falling because of the shoes I had to wear. It was so embarrassing!!
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning all from Bridport, not a clue about the weather I’m still in bed and there are excellent blackout curtains.
How annoying Mick, hopefully the engineer will fix it. Beechnut a fall is horrid, it is the shock as much as anything. Have you reported your dizziness Kitty on the yellow card system? we’re still being urged to, may it disappear soon. Urms my thoughts on any twinges too!
Out and about today, we had a really lovely dinner last night in Uploders, lovely place names in Dorset. Beaches today, West Bay included.
Enjoy your day all. ???

Prack has just brought me a second cuppa and enquired about what time I was thinking of getting up, always an early riser just like his old dad, Pa Tickle, always up and atom before 7.
Apparently we are going for a picnic, brrr, so much for just pottering.

Good morning from a dry NE.
DS has a day off so is coming to spend the day with me, he says he is going to beat me at Scrabble and then we can watch some TV together. I can't remember the last time I watched a drama so perhaps we will catch up with Shetland.
DIL and GDs will come after school and we will have dinner together.

Good morning from Shropshire.Sun is shining although very chilly.Have finally given in and put the heating on.

Not sure what today will hold,not a lot I think.We had planned to go to playgroup but H walked in and was sick ??‍♀️luckily just in the utility room so no carpet affected.He seems fine now so could have been that he helped himself to some of big sisters breakfast and had an allergic reaction.

Beechnut,hope you are feeling better today.A fall is always a shock to the system.Take it easy today.

Hope the dr can give you reassurance kitty.

Have the best day you can all and thoughts to all with sadness, worries and struggles ??

Good morning from East Yorkshire. It’s damp, chilly but a bright sky.
Yesterday my trip into town went well. On my route I passed Primark and as it was early I ventured in. They had lots of lovely Christmas bits in. I bought a large stand up snowman ( it’s one of my themes) a couple of tree decs ( for dgs of course!) a little trinket dish, gloves and a woolly headband for those bad hair days. Then I went to Roman and bought 2 winter dresses and 2 skirts. Very pleased with those. I didn’t have time then to go to where I intended for my bedding as I had to be back for hair appt. Arrived there to find my hairdresser is pregnant. So pleased for her but anxious as I will have someone different doing my hair while she is on maternity leave. The new person is starting right away as they have a busy time coming up and I’m going next week for a blow dry with her.

Today I’m meeting up with DIL. We are having lunch as opposed to just coffee. It is the last time I will see her in person for a while as after tomorrow the family have to isolate prior to her going into hospital for bed rest and the imminent delivery of baby number 2.
Well I think I have prattled on enough this morning but just to say to everyone with falls,aches and pains,troubles in any way take care.

Good morning , weather wise as Gingster says ‘it’s November.
Busy but enjoyable day yesterday. I felt a bit like a Jack in the box, in and out all day and evening.
A little food shop today and another couple of hours with little Charlie.
We also have to get two mattresses off of beds to make way for new ones at the weekend. Some organisation and sorting for my various clubs to be done.
Wishing all a good and healing day with a smile along the way.

Good morning everyone from a cold North Wales.

I will get my boots on soon for my usual walk in this lovely countryside.
I really need to get some cleaning done later. Not a favourite occupation for me.

Have a good day all. Hugs for anyone who needs one today.

He is indeed a keeper Marydoll. It is times like that make up for all the small irritations.
Great news about Dolly.

Good morning Mick and all from a very cold Glasgow.

You must have got a fright Beechnut, I hope there are no serious after effects.

Dragonfly, we are in a similar position. He thinks his test from four years ago is still valid. Take it from me, its NOT I am now deaf, from the high volume from the TV!!!

Baubles, such a sad day for you and your family. We have a new young curate and I saw the other day, he was wearing black vestments for a funeral, instead of white. As Sacristan, I haven't seen that for many years. I must ask him once I'm back in the fold! Not long now, I hope.

I am making a public declaration about MrMDoll. Yesterday, I spent most of the day in bed, as I felt so awful. After having been provided with endless supply of tea and drinks, I eventually, came downstairs to find:
The washing done and hung out
All the glassworks done ( windows, mirrors, units, shower screen)
Kitchen units cleaned
Bathrooms cleaned
Vacuuming done^
Recycling bins emptied
MrMdoll* asleep on the sofa.

That man is a saint! I may hang onto him for just a wee bit longer. However, I must stress, he is still on probation!

Today is a very special day for us. For the first time since Dollie, started school over a year ago, my son has asked us if we would like to come down to the school, ( masks and social distancing still required) to see the routine, with a view to picking her up in the future. I am beyond ecstatic, with the added bonus, that I may catch a glimpse of my former colleagues.
A very special day indeed, for our family dynamics.

Kitty, I hope your GP can reassure you. I had to have anti nausea tablets after both accusations. It did eventually pass.

Sending my best wishes to all who are struggling. Enjoy your day, whatever your plans.

Good morning from Cheshire.
Think it's brightening up.
A fall is a shock to the system , Beechnut I hope you feel better as the day goes on.
I think I liked " steak" in the sky better Polly tickle

Just pottering about Urms, just pottering.

Good morning all and it’s very still out there. Damp and dull here in Essex.
No wind
No rain
No sun
No fog
No snow
No nothing
NOVEMBER!

Had a great day with my ‘oldest’ pals yesterday at the Olympic Park in Stratford. It’s absolutely huge and we walked and walked. Beautiful gardens, wild and formal. Trees everywhere. You wouldnt believe you were in East London. My GP’s lived here all their lives - so different now.

Today I have my bowls group and then Art club this afternoon.

It would have been my parent 82nd wedding anniversary today.

Beechnut - take it easy today, it’s the shock of falling that shakes you up.

dragonfly I know the feeling with the mishearing conversations. I must write them down. Some are hilarious.
My DS2 was staying with us for a weekend with the baby.

Me to my Dh - ‘Tell Dan that Poppy is crying.’
Dh to Dan - ‘Dan, the sausages are frying’
?

Take care all and enjoy your day. ????

Hey PollyTickle you forgot to tell us what the day has in store for YOU!
?
A few details please lady.
