Good Morning Wednesday 17th November 2021

Good morning from sunny Sefton.
Today we’re picking up our DGD from school. She likes dressing up and is into ‘Strictly’ so fingers crossed the ‘mirrorball’ of sequins we’ve bought fits and receives a thumbs up. ? Having had sons, this is a whole new world for us, one which we’re greatly enjoying. I’m also looking forward to chatting with her about the silent section of Saturday’s show.
One proud mum, GrandMattie; hopefully you have a photo of your DD with PoW.
Now is a period of adjustment for both you and your DH GrannySomerset. You couldn’t have done more for him.
Sending words of comfort to Jaxjacky and wishes that you all have the best day possible.

Good morning all from Glasgow where, at least the grey skies have disappeared but as Marydoll reports, a noticeable change in temperature gradually going down.

A simple but such a pretty decoration GM, one I will share with GDs who are always on the lookout for new craft ideas.
You must be so proud of your DD and rightly so.

No plan for the day but something always turns up if I choose to be busy…..or not!

A day of mixed emotions for you GrannySomerset?

Have a pleasant day all and hopefully a brighter day for those with struggles.

Good morning everyone, quite pleasant here so far
Meeting my sister for coffee later , I hope it’s warm enough to sit outside , I’m still nervous about inside without a mask , but I haven’t worked out how to drink coffee through it ?
I hope MrSomerset is in better form this afternoon , look after yourself now GrannySomerset , I hope your back is a bit better

Good morning Mick and all from showery Carlisle. I'm going into town shortly on various errands so I'm hoping for more dryness than wetness. I may treat myself to a coffee and bun in the Cathedral's newish cafe. all glass windows amidst the gardens. I have to chase my prescription which is supposed to be delivered but only once has been, after a bit of nagging. I think I will be changing my nominated pharmacy.
Still proceeding with picture hanging, moving on to heavier pieces and keeping fingers crossed for no loud crashes during the night as I'm a jumpy person!

It's an immense change for your DH, GrannySomerset, I hope he settles, no surprise you feel awful but you couldn't carry on as you were.

The best possible day to all.

Will visit DH this afternoon and not looking forward to it. When I rang the nursing home yesterday evening the report was that he was confused and not cooperative - hardly surprising but not exactly what I wanted to hear. So it will take him time to settle and I feel awful about it.

Thank you all for your immense kindness yesterday. It made a difficult day a bit easier and I appreciated it.

Sorry so many people are enduring the super cold and hope it goes quickly. Always something to worry about!

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning everyone from North Wales. The sun is peeping through but the sky looks dark.
Just my usual walk and bed changing this morning.
My DD has returned to nursing after being very unwell last month. I hope she will be alright as things are 'crazily busy' there as she described it.
I wish I could sprinkle some fairy dust to give all those who have health or other worries a much better time going forward. ?

Good morning everyone oops I’ve lost my first post once again. can’t be bothered to start all over just hope all you grandsnetters are well and keeping safe. Lots of love to all

Good morning all . Yesterday turned into a beautiful day and hopefully today will be the same.
I had a glorious walk with my friend and we came back here and sat in the garden to have our coffee. It was so warm. ?

A worrying afternoon as DD went to have the results of the biopsy of her mole removal. She seemed to be at the hospital for hours and I’ve only got half the story, so I hope she’ll come in today and let me know what’s going on. ?

GM wonderful for your DD. You must be very proud. ❤️

Scentia - try to take it easy . These sprains/strains seem to come on for no reason ?.

Urms take care of that chest. It seems with super cold is everywhere.

Today I will wrap stocking filler presents and write some more cards. I’m usually more ahead of the game but not this year. We have several birthdays before Xmas so have to think about that too. . I’m sure it will all get done ??

Take care all. ????

Good morning from Durham. Saw a pink dawn, as I was up early and now clear blue skies. Did my self assessment HMRC last night - glad to get it over for another year, but I’ll need help next year, as my circumstances have changed with DH’s death.
Friend coming to take a carpet out of my garage for her son - a six month saga but it’s finally going.
Babysitting later for DD2, then I’ll bring her dogs here, as her husband’s gone to the USA this morning and it will make things easier for her.
?Jax
GSS - I hope the move isn’t as bad as feared.
This month seems to be flying by - those who can - grab it with both hands.

Good morning, the sun is just peeping in to the corner of my window.
I have little Charlie for an hour or two this morning so a walk is in order. He will probably sleep.
I have to collect the materials for our craft club project from my friend who is feeling poorly. So I’ll be taking the reins again this afternoon.
? for all who need cheering and hopefully a smile somewhere in your day.

Good morning all from the Black country. Weather looks quite reasonable outside so may walk to mums and toddlers instead of the bus, normally walk back but DH will pick me up as we are taking a friend to the eye hospital.
grandMattie you must be very proud of your daughter, and the decoration is lovely you are one talented lady.
Best wishes to anyone celebrating and virtual hugs where needed.
Enjoy your Wednesday and may you all find some ?.

Morning Mick, morning All. Looks like a sunny morning for our corner of Somerset. May ditch the planned admin and go walkabout after the grocery delivery.

A frustrating visit to audiology for Mr C yesterday. Their new improved system means the staff can no longer book follow up appointments, he needs a frequency test. He has to wait for a letter which will come in about a month inviting him to make an appointment. Surely an increase in NHS cost? On the positive side his hearing aids no longer fall apart.

Hope yesterday wasn’t too difficult grannysomerset, thinking of all facing difficult days. Take care everyone. Hope Wednesday is kind to us all.

Pitt that photo would make a lovely painting.
Enjoy the farmer's market! ?

Good morning all from East Yorkshire where it is a brighter morning.

grandmattie what a lovely decoration. Where I live there is a Danish church who always holds a Christmas Fair in Nov selling a lot of the traditional decorations etc.

bluesapphire enjoy your day at Chatsworth - I am very envious. We usually visit the Christmas market there but not to be this year due to other commitments sadly.
Yesterday had a lovely chat at coffee morning afterwards I went to a close by shopping area and had a browse in Lidl.

After school dgs was like a Duracell bunny! If only I had so much energy. We had A place in the sun on Tv ( never miss it) and one of the properties had a large garden. I commented that you could put a pool in there to which he replied Yes it’s better than yours ? ( Garden that is not pool. Not so lucky!)
Today I am having a quietish day as dgs is here on a sleepover . DS has to be at the hospital at 7 tomorrow morning for the arrival of our new grandchild. It has been a difficult pregnancy it will be a big relief when baby is here.
* Urms* hope you feel better soon. Would a whisky,honey and lemon ease symptoms. That’s our excuse!
Thoughts to Granny Somerset *
Take care all.

Good morning all.
Bluesapphire Chatsworth is a fabulous place , especially at Christmas.
Love the tree ,GrandMattie - have never seen a Danish Christmas ?.
Just about light now here.
Think Cancer research shop today for Christmas cards.

Good morning from a grey, breezy Cornwall.
Yesterday's walk was cut short by rain, so we went for a drive and bought local cheese for tea.
Off to find a farmer's market this morning.
Photo of the beach yesterday.

Lots of love to all ? x

Good morning Mick all, from a chilly Glasgow.

Thanks GM for thinking of me, I envy your skills.

Nothing to report and nothing planned, apart from having a hem to unpick and redo. Heaven knows what I did, it is so uneven! Thats what happens when you try to watch You Tube and sew at the same time!

Sending my best wishes to all, who are suffering and carrying a heavy burden.
GrannySomerset, I hope yesterday wasn't too stressful and your DH is comfortable.
Urms, I have had that cough for months, it's exhausting and people keep giving me dirty looks. I may pin a sign to me saying, I DO NOT HAVE COVID!
At least masks are still compulsory here.

Have the best day you can, everyone.

Good morning from a dry, not too cold Essex by the sea.
Dental visit yesterday was fine, he was Irish and a really lovely man.
Housework for me today and some cross stitch later.
Ash, I went to see SIX a few weeks ago with my daughter and granddaughter and we all thought it was great fun.
Condolences to Jax and family.
Have a pleasant Wednesday everyone xx

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. It’s shaping up to be a lovely South Yorkshire day weatherwise. The gas man cometh early today to clean and service our gas fire, and then later this afternoon DH has the opticians appointment that they cancelled last week. While he is there I will do a bit of shopping.
Hope the day is kind to one and all.

Jaxjacky. ?

Good morning all from a dry S Hants, no frost.
Love that decoration grandMattie and you must be very proud of your DD, I would be.
An excellent result for Wales Pant tbh most would have expected a Belgian win ?. I hope your day improves Scentia?
Washing today and some admin. MrJ flies to Belfast tomorrow for funeral Saturday. Your kind thoughts are much appreciated.
Thinking of others, especially GrannySomerset ??

Morning from S Lanarkshire where it’s still dark. I may have another snooze before tackling the day.

Exercise class then coffee and chat this afternoon and a couple of hours housework before that so I can blether with a clear conscience!

Condolences to Jaxjacky and family and supportive thoughts to exhausted GrannySomerset and wishing everyone a good day.

Hmm. I fear you could be right there GG13. I think I’ve caught it from L’il Miss as I have been up close and personal for several days minding her while she’s been off school.

Good morning, all, from Torbay where it's mild and dry.

Condolences to JaxJacky and thoughts with GrannySomerset, hoping yesterday wasn’t as difficult as you feared. A new chapter in life always means a time of adjustment but the chance for you to take care of yourself whilst knowing DH is being cared for, too. Thoughts with you both.

I went to see Six last night, which was interesting! They covered the historical side well and the girls were talented performers but I must have been one of the oldest there! It was more like a rock concert than a traditional theatrical experience. Now I sound old!

A walk always lifts my spirits, BlueSapphire and your plans for today sound like a perfect start to Christmas!

Happy hump day! ?????
