Good Morning Monday 8th November 2021

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning from Sefton where it is calm, dry and reasonably mild.
A lovely day out with friends yesterday featured much laughter and putting the world to rights. It was a real tonic.
What a tribute the other nan paid to you, Mattie, and how thoughtful of you to make a bag for her. You are such a talented lady. I’m sure once B gets into the spirit of an adventure with his furry friend they’ll have an exciting day in Shugborough, Susan56. In years to come he’ll look back on those photographs with much fondness.
General pottering and faffing are on my agenda today. May you all be blessed with kindness, smiles and flamingos. ???

Good morning everyone from a brighter Algarve. The sun’s out and according to my iPad it will be 4° warmer here than yesterday. Can’t be bad.

Good morning all. Grey but dry and still, not too cold in Anglesey.
Sorry you are still very under the weather GrannyGravy, hope you feel better before long.
That’s sad news monk. What kind of person would hit and run, it beggars belief.
Tidying up for us today after a wonderful day of silly play all day yesterday. Grandson loves his diggers and cement mixers and granddaughter has to spread the dolls house furniture to all corners of our house. I keep finding tiny beds and chairs in the oddest places.
We made daft masks and some strange Christmas decorations which, thankfully, they wanted to take home with them.
Oh well, up and atom as Pa Tickle would say.
Have the best day you can everyone ???

Good morning all. Got late start today so can read all your lovely posts. It’s bright and breezy here in the north east but dry. Had lovely weekend went out for lunch on Saturday and started Christmas shopping yesterday. Still suffering pains and bruises from my fall over last week can’t believe a week on and still sore? every week something else! Sister looking to go to oz for Christmas has forms to fill in to see if she is allowed. Will miss her but she hasn’t seen family for over two years long way to go. Hope everyone keeping well and strong look after yourselves.

Good morning Mick, morning all from dry South Lanarkshire.

Marydoll if Dollies’s school shopping evening is anything like similar events in my DGDs’ school it will be a bit of a scrum so you’re wise to give it a swerve. Good to hear that your family are recovering well Sar.

Well Pantglas, stilllearning and I were at the same Mass yesterday, we may very well have been sitting close together! Also we have daughters who live in the same county, not ours.

Glad the Sunday School went well gMattie.

We are popping over to DD’s this afternoon to see the children when they come home from school, looking forward to hearing their chat.

Wishing everyone a peaceful day as always.

I think Essex has a posse as opposed to twins.

A dull ‘but looks as though the sun is trying to come out’ kind of morning in Oxfordshire. Chilly though.
I’m trying a recipe from Rick Steins book, it says cook on the hob for 3 hours, but there is no way my hob won’t burn it to a crisp, so I’m going to throw it into the slow cooker ( bought 4 years ago and still unused) and see how it fares.
Apart from that just us and DD2s dog for the day.

DD1s partner (double jabbed) has been pretty poorly with Covid but will be clear tomorrow, he has been phoned each day by the powers that be to check he is indoors (he’s been too ill to go out and ‘lost’ 3 days) as our daughter was in Glasgow all week. By all accounts it was a nasty experience.
Have a good day everyone and hopefully we will all find some joy in it somewhere.

Grey skies but all the cattle in the field behind our house are standing up so presumably no rain in the immediate future.

Waiting a call back from the surgery in the hope that I can see an actual GP. My back is no better and I think I need an x-ray in order to decide what to do.

Better get dressed so I can embark on getting DH ready to face the day - not a quick job these days. Hope Marydoll feels better soon and that the best day possible awaits.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. It’s trying to brighten up a bit in South Yorkshire. DD and her menfolk came for a curry lunch yesterday, which was very nice. It’s aways difficult to get that right. They all like different degrees of heat and you can’t please everyone, but it didn’t hang around very long as they were all hungry! I have an appointment with my hairdresser today. Greatly looking forward to it because she’s a nice person and an extremely good hairdresser - and I’m beginning to look a bit like an old English sheepdog!! Slow cooked gammon for tea with cauliflower cheese and new potatoes.
Have a good day everyone!

Poor you GG ?. Is it still the chest infection? Get better soon.?

Sar enjoy the show. Is it at the Cliffs? ?

Oh GG13 not good, hope you’re improving ?.

GG13 hope you feel better soon. ?

Morning Mock and all

No news from Gravy Grange as I have been quiet poorly, hopefully up for a bit of gentle pottering today (to see what state DH has left my beloved kitchen in)

Will try to catch up with all your news

Keep safe and well folks ??‍♀️

Good morning everyone the suns blazing once again himself took me yesterday for a mid morning coffee along to the local driving range restaurant, it was really nice to get out and about after a fortnight of having a heavy head cold ,

me and himself had a right old laugh last night trying to cheer each other up in anticipation of today’s hospital visit. He’s off now, fingers crossed all goes well

stovies for tea tonight that’ll cheer us both up

Thinking of those who are sad today the sun will shine again for you

Pantglas, I meant to say: North and South Lanarkshire are actually two different although adjoining counties, but baubles and I are SL twins and I think Grannmarie has a twin in NLwho hasn’t posted for awhile!

Lovely to have your family planning to be closer, harrigran and to know help is there for you with admin which will be a relief, I’m sure.

Susan56: I hope you can visit Shugborough today. olddudders and I have happy memories of visiting there when I lived nearby and we each have paintings of it in our respective homes. I met the late Earl, Patrick Lichfield, a few times and he was charming, being involved in village life when he had time. His ancestors had connections with Anson Primary School, attended by my children. ?

Good morning from a brightish Leicestershire.

Just dog walking today.
I won (again) at Scrabble yesterday - they are threatening to stop inviting me!

Pleased Sunday School went well yesterday GrandMattie. I used to love going as a child.
I hope your mild reaction continues Marydoll. I have had delayed reactions to all my jabs and then the dreaded cold on top!
Wishing you all a good day.

Good morning from a lovely bright and sunny Essex by the sea.
DH is off to the boatyard shortly, I have housework and washing on the agenda.
This evening I am going to see the Australian Pink Floyd at our local theatre. This show was postponed from last year so I am really looking forward to going. DH will drive me there and come and pick me up afterwards. Rock music is not his thing but has always been mine.
My covid family are almost back to normal, the eldest two girls are back at school today and my daughter is allowed out. The youngest can go back on Thursday. My SIl is quite unwell but as he works from home this is not too much of a problem.
Have a lovely Monday everyone xxx

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s bright and dry just now but rain forecast for later
Such a sad for your DS today monk how tragic
Today I’m off for a splash around at the Aqua class as the gym. It’s at the local retail park so after the class my friend and I will go across the car park to Starbucks for a coffee and then maybe a bit of shopping too.
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good morning everyone from North Wales.
Thank you to Polly for her weather forecasts. They are far more accurate than the BBC. I got caught in a heavy shower on my walk last week not forecast by them.
I was not feeling very well yesterday and wondered if I was coming down with the cold my D and GS had while I was there. I am fine today so just one of those odd days when you don't feel right for no reason.
Thoughts for all who are not well or struggling today. ?

Good morning from sunny Colchester. A dry day in double figures is forecast, so the washing machine is on.
We're finishing the decoration of the lounge today. One wall to go.
Love to all ?x

Good morning from N. Bucks where the sky from my window is half grey and the other half much brighter. I wonder which will win.
DH golfing today and an ‘at home for me. Visitors tomorrow, so cleaning and food prep.
A good day with some smiles are wished for all.

Morning from a grey S Lanarkshire, dry at the moment but rain promised.

Back home after a lovely stay with DD2 and family. Thanks for getting back baubles (I looked earlier), I eventually discovered your parish’s very smart new website and made it to 11 o’clock!

Childminding again this afternoon after school and staying over till the morning, as it’s dark now early and my days of driving then are, sadly, over. I am looking forward to hearing the result of DGS’s first piano lesson, I think he has to practice middle C ?

Before that, washing, a bit of tidying and ordering some Christmas gifts online. I have managed the ‘worst’ bit and made a list!

Glad you didn’t have such a bad reaction this time Marydoll and wishing everyone a good day???

Good morning from Staffordshire.An awful start to the journey over here today although better once on the motorway, it’s normally the other way round.DH slept through all my stress!

DGS started nursery school last week and has had the class bear which has to be returned tomorrow.The bear has to have adventures which we are to photograph.We will possibly take B and bear to Shugborough although B says he would like an at home day!

Feel like I have done a days work already?

Have the best day you can everyone??
