Good Morning Friday 12th November 2021

Gosh - so many good wishes, thankyou all very much!

Clearly 12.11.48 was an inauspicious day for humanity, at least compared to two days later, when the present Heir to the Throne was born! Mum and then-Princess Elizabeth were obviously in a race. Sadly, Mum has been gone 48 years.

Ashcombe has had a successful morning with both dentist and blood-test, and we are now eyeing the weather to see if the walk to the pub is sensible - it has been much wetter than forecast.

Wishing you a happy birthday olddudders enjoy the bubbles from Pant ???

Just popping in to say Good morning to Mick, Annie and all.
A friend came to collect a cardigan that I had knitted for her, and of course we had coffee and a chat.
Soon I will drive DH to his afternoon volunteering , then another friend is coming for lunch. I have made Broccoli and Stilton soup, and shall cook a part baked baguette.
That's me for today.
Have a good day one and all.

Good morning from Sefton where thankfully it has stopped raining as some of the roads are flooded.
An early swim has left the remainder of my day free for laundry (oh, joy).
You may be glad to know you can pour three glasses of bubbly, Pantglas2 - one today for olddudders, the others on Sunday for Blue’s DGD and me. ? ? ?
My best wishes are sent to missing posters.
Hoping those who are poorly feel better, that those who are troubled find calm and that you all have a flamingo-filled day.

Good morning Mick and all from rainy Carlisle. I knew I should have mowed the lawn yesterday but I was distracted by the unexpected arrival of my new watch which is an improvement on the old one. But what to do with the old one which needs a new battery?
Tesco are here so must go but not before wishing all of the poorly people an improving day.
And a happy birthday to olddudders!

Morning all

I have just got The Imp to sleep so will now read all your news.

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Happy birthday ? olddudders ? hope it’s a good one to enjoy with Ash.
That outfit sounds gorgeous BlueSapphire and yes I’d go get that handbag.
Hope you find that flamingo Blossoming, there’s plenty to go round.

Jax?a difficult time for you all.x

Good Morning all from wet and windy Harrogate
Li'l Miss sounds like she has that rotten cold that is doing the rounds, poor little thing, Urms I think that is what I am most frightened of getting now. I've had Covid and it was just 3 days of a cold, but this other cold seems much worse.
Happy Birthday Olddudders hope you have many more.
DD1 called round this morning, she & DH are taking the dog for a walk, it is her dog after all. Tonight I am looking after DGS - what mischief will he have in store for me?
Have the best day possible folks!

Good morning everyone,
I was up early to empty the kitchen bin ! Something in it was humming ! And I do empty it often , but it was too wet and windy yesterday to heave it out and over to the garage , nice and calm this morning
The bread maker did its job overnight so one thing going well

Grandmadinosaur

I’m pleased about the test Urms hope she feels better soon .

Me too Grandmadinosaur as I’ve been cuddling her. Who wouldn’t comfort an unhappy poorly little girl? She sat on my lap, facing me, her little chicken legs outside of mine.

Good luck Mick and all, from rainy Lancashire. I’m enjoying my morning tea in bed, will get up shortly.. Not much planned other than daily exercises and a bit of housework. I must tidy up my sewing things and attempt to finish some projects.

Have a good Friday, hugs to all who need them and cheers to all celebrating. I’m going flamingo hunting ??

??? for Susan56 first Xmas card ? - just waiting on the removal of ingrown toenail award and my fizz stash will need replenishing!

If the orange handbag is still there BlueSapphire you’re meant to buy it....I live by that motto ?

Wishing olddudders a very Happy Birthday today! ????

Good news on the test result Urns.
Family in Belfast looking to move FIL to a hospice, just had an update.

I’m pleased about the test Urms hope she feels better soon .

Good morning all from the Black country, sun is shining and washing on.
Late up this morning slept for over 7hrs with no middle of the night disturbance from DH.
Lovely evening at the theatre really enjoyed the performance.
Haven't read through yet will come back later.
Best wishes to anyone celebrating and virtual hugs where needed.
Have the best Friday you can and may you all find some ?.

Good morning everyone from a very damp and windy Northampton. Felt chilly when I got up so put the heating on when I got downstairs.

Planning to go out to the shops this morning; I have an order to pick up from M&S and a Christmas jumper order from Sainsbury's; was rather hoping the other dresses I ordered would be in, but no sign of them yet. Shall have a coffee (and cake) in Marks, then a mooch around the other shops in our little retail park.

Was pleased with my other dress from Sainsbury's that arrived this week; tried it on yesterday morning. Will wear it with black tights and boots to DGD's birthday lunch on Sunday. I have a bright yellow handbag which will go with it well. I am still tempted by the orange bag I saw in town on Tuesday, and may have to go back and get it.......

Curry (home-made) from the freezer for tonight's dinner, so no cooking today. Will give me time to get stuck into my new read for book club this afternoon.

I noticed that there is a programme about Laura Ingalls Wilder on tv this evening (on PBS America, channel 84 freeview), which looks good. I loved Little House on the Prairie.

Happy birthday ? olddudders! And wishing all a happy day.

Good morning Mick and all from a dull Lancashire coast.
Off to art group soon but not happy with my acrylic painting, might statt again, then on to run through for Xmas concerts.
Feeling lazy though, will feel better when I get going.
Wrote a letter to housebound sister in law yesterday, enjoy writing letters. I can organise my thoughts and not keen on the phone. She doesn’t FaceTime which I prefer.
Ordered clothes for GDs birthday online, but of a faff, but done.
Wishing you all a good day, will read through later.

Thanks everyone for your kind wishes. Much appreciated. x

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning from North Wales. Damp and dreary here.
I am hobbling around with a very sore back today. I just want to sit but that is not advised .
Hope L'il miss gets some treatment soon Urmston.
Sounds like the nasty virus my GS had last week.
Have a good day GNs.

Good news Urmston although this cold is horrendous. Hope she is better soon.

Happy birthday Olddudders ???

The PCR test was negative for L’il Miss. Mum thought it would be and just had text confirmation.
