Morning all

It’s still dark here in S E Essex.

Bedding change first thing and then if I feel ok I shall go to the gym. Trying to get back into my usual routine.

Beautiful decimation grandMattie , hope your knee improves Scentia . I do hope you haven’t got the super cold Urmstongran as it’s horrible to shift.

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s still dark and damp outside from the heavy rain we had during the night.

Off at noon to pick up my stepfather for a small grocery shop at M&S then onto eat lunch somewhere. He is our social secretary so he chooses where we go.

The grandchildren’s swimming lessons have now been switched to a Thursday as this is more convenient for the family if we are in Spain.

My cough didn’t bother me during the night and I slept well thankfully, but this morning I have a headache and a chesty cough. I will keep dosed up and wrapped up today. And will wear a mask when in the supermarket & wherever we go for lunch even though it’s not mandatory so that I don’t spread my germs.

Enjoy Wednesday all who can. x

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it is still dark and feels cool.
I woke at 4am having done something to my right knee in my sleep!! It ruddy kills. I just get rid of one pain and another comes along just to stop me in my tracks ?
I have a full day at work as well, I’m sitting down on the job today!!
DD MiL is awaiting a PCR result after a +LF yesterday. If that is +tive I will have to take the children on Friday as well as Thursday so will be at the factory on Saturday I shouldn’t wonder!
I am in a right miserable mood, sorry if that comes across this morning. Even the queen of smiles can’t find one today?

Beech, it’s card covered with fabric over the top only. It’s terribly easy to make.

Good morning all from a dark and not cold North Leicestershire.

Today it is the final session of the current Carer's course and we try to make it all about them. So, I have a chocolate cake with salted caramel butter cream, paper plates etc to take with me.

The tiler is still here and we have DD1 and family coming for tea. An early night beckons.

Good morning everyone from a dry and still dark Northampton. Hoping it stays that way a bit further north as I am off on a day trip with friends today to Chatsworth House. Over 20 years since I last went. I am especially looking forward to seeing the house dressed for Christmas. There are also Christmas markets, so I may be able to pick up a few things. Just grabbing a piece of toast to fortify myself for the journey.

Was feeling rather down yesterday, so am am glad I made myself go on a health walk in the afternoon. Did me good to be in company in the fresh air, and I really enjoyed the coffee and chat afterwards.

Wishing all a good day.

Good Morning everyone from Severnside. Dark and damp outside.

A morning of pottering and then go out for an hour or so this afternoon. I think I’ll do a jacket potato and prawns to tickle my taste buds today.

A lovely decoration Mattie. Is it card or stiffened fabric?
Sending my condolences to you JaxJacky and your family ?

Thinking of you too GrannySomerset and MrGS. ?Life can certainly through us some challenges.

Take care all ???

That decoration is beautiful GrandMattie- you’re a talented lady!

Just read my post back and in my excitement at Wales footballers qualifying for the World Cup playoffs next March I said they won when they only drew against the mighty Belgium ??! Feels like a win to me ?

Morning Mick from a celebrating north Wales ??????? where we achieved the hatrick with our third sporting win in a week, last night ⚽️ Little Wales eh!

Trotting off to Llandudno for my booster this afternoon and that’ll be me sorted for any heeby jeebie ?!

My Dad is calling this morning with his empty Xmas hamper which I replenish each year as his present, with home made jams, pickles, curds & chutneys, mince pies and bara brith. Add some posh cheese, crackers and choccies and he’s a very happy bunny on Xmas morning!

Sorry to hear about your FIL Jax and hope GrannySomerset will get used to the strangeness of not having DH home ? take care all those under the weather x

Carpe diem ???☀️❤️??

Good morning from E Kent where it is still dark. We are promised a little ☀️ today, yay!
Those of you who have been holding your breaths as to what a “Danish Christmas tree” is, well the photo answers your question!
Just the laundry and a bit of sewing today. A friend’s birthday tomorrow, so I’m making her a tote with a large daisy appliquéd on it. Can’t decide whether to use funky colours or natural ones.
Yesterday, DD was at Westminster Abbey to be inducted by PoWales into the General Synod which takes place at the moment. She is one of 3 clergy representing Bristol diocese.
GS I hope the transfer of your DH to respite care is going to be a success. jax and family, Marydoll and everyone needing my thoughts and prayers…
