Good Morning Everyone ,
Its dark but a dry start here in brackley this morning, today will be an interesting day.
I am getting a bus early to Bicester around 9 , as I have a booster jab at chemists which is on the bus route , I am hoping that I can walk in early before time given, and then catch another bus or walk into Bicester to do my usual routine .
Yesterday , I played the new ABBA CD and its a good selection , if Sweden entered them into the Eurovision ,40 years on would be interesting .
Take Care,
Mick

Thank you brook and blossoming. It’s kind to send your good wishes and positive thoughts. ❤️

hello,
I am in Crowborough East Sussex and was wondering if anyone was in or around the area? we moved here in Summer '20 lock down not knowing anyone. smile

Will keep my fingers crossed for your daughter Gingster. One of my nieces had something similar a few years ago and she’s fine now.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where we’ve grey skies but it’s very mild, about 14 degrees
I tried to post earlier before going out to Tesco but had the dreaded error message ☹️
Sorry to hear your DD needs further surgery Gingster she’s one brave lady and I wish her a speedy recovery
Hoping your friends daughter is better soon marydoll
An exciting day grandmadinosaur I hope all goes well and there’s lovely news to report soon
Beautiful photos of Chatsworth BlueSapphire wish I lived closer I’d be there in a flash
Take care everyone whatever the day brings ?

Good morning Mick and all from a cloudy Lancashire coast.
Will have a tidy round the house today, I have been out so much, it looks as if a burglary has taken place.
Yesterday’s recital was very impressive, the violinist played with such panache, there was a standing ovation and the programme was just right. I then toddled off for a drink with two musician friends to a pub new to me and what with the chat and company, it all felt more like old times.
There is a light switch on in the next village, I might make it if I get the house sorted in time.
Hope you have a good day and thoughts to the troubled.

Good morning,

It’s bright, blustery and chilly here in South Yorkshire. I’ve got some washing to put out so it should dry, ?.

Your photos of Chatsworth look pretty BlueSapphire. Did they have a special theme this year? A shame you missed your BiL whilst you were there.

Kind thoughts to all of you with worries, Ill-health or sadness. ?

Take care everyone.

Good morning, Mick and all, from a very wild and windy Portobello, lovely seaside town , couple of miles from Edinburgh. We had lunch on the sea front yesterday, very bracing but we were well wrapped up. We're having a wee hotel break for my State Pension birthday, I never thought I'd see the day!! We'll have a family gathering back home at the weekend.

Good news about your appointment, Marydoll !

Thinking of all those with illness, sorrow or worries.

Sending love and prayers to all those who wish/ need them.???

Take care out there!

Marydoll Thu 18-Nov-21 10:49:25

Stilllearning, thank you. Her mother is distraught.

Good morning everyone from North Wales. It is very blustery here and the trees were making ominous noises on my walk so I headed to safer places.
Late today as I had an error report when I tried to log on earlier.
Wishing a good day to all.

Good morning all from South Lanarkshire.

Thank you for your kind concern. I’m feeling wabbit but a bit better.

Hoping everyone has a good day.

Stilllearning Thu 18-Nov-21 10:24:24

Morning all from S Lanarkshire. Waiting to hear from my daughter who should be getting the keys to their new home today. Seller is a very strange man so we will be a little tense until we hear that everything everything has gone through properly. Then I will drive straight down to see it, they are so excited.

Good wishes to everyone especially those with health or family worries. Will be remembering your friend’s daughter Marydoll

Good morning all from a wet blustery start to the day in Glasgow.

I awoke this morning with a dull headache which usually signals the start of a cold. Tests are negative so at least I know it’s not that! I am very rarely out and about again as covid numbers are on the rise, masks are mandatory and at the risk of sounding paranoid I did wonder, with my former nursing cap on, thé wisdom of so many arriving from around the world for COP26 during a pandemic! Where did I pick up this cold from?……stuck indoors gives me too much time to analyse everything to the nth degree.

The day ahead promises copious amounts of honey and lemon drinks and not much else. Hey ho.

Hopefully a pleasant day for most of us and take care all who are under par.

Blossoming Thu 18-Nov-21 10:16:24

Good morning all, it’s grey, windy and raining in Lancashire this morning. I had a really good sleep last night, the new painkillers seem to be working and the rest and elevation has been helping my foot. The swelling has gone down and it’s much less painful. I really hope I’ll be able to get out for a walk soon.

Grandmattie that’s beautiful work, you are so talented. Have a good day all, hope things improve for all with troubles ??

CherryCezzy Thu 18-Nov-21 10:15:32

Thank you Auntieflo, I wish I could say yes I am well but ... well let's just gloss over that. I hope you are faring okay, under your own circumstances ?

Auntieflo Thu 18-Nov-21 10:09:07

Good morning Mick, Annie and all, from a beautiful morning here in Berks.
I'm glad that I am not the only one having trouble posting. It was like wading through treacle waiting for a preview to appear. What's been going on?
Cherry, so pleased to see you this morning, hope you are well. Also hoping that GrannySomerset enjoys her visit from family and that her DH has settled a bit since his move.
No news from here as we have been very boring and doing nothing, so it is nice to read of folks "doings".
Sending gentle hugs to all those needing one.
Have a good day one and all.

aggie Thu 18-Nov-21 09:52:58

Good morning everyone, dry and milder than usual here today.
Thinking of all my friends on my iPad xxx

hulahoop Thu 18-Nov-21 09:44:35

Just dropping in to say thank you for all of your good wishes you are a caring bunch of ladies .Take care everyone .?

CherryCezzy Thu 18-Nov-21 09:38:04

Good morning from grey Gower, where we've got the typical November gloop.

Had my booster yesterday and am aching all over this morning ?. I might have a duvet day and leave my WP to wait on me ?

Thank you so much for being so kind to post the photo of Imogen Jax, what an attractive young lady she is, obviously a clever and talented one too?. I hope MrJ has a comfortable journey for what is such a difficult trip.

I hope GrannySomerset is more at ease and her DH more settled ?

I am thinking of you all and hoping that each and everyone of you finds a ? or a random flamingo along the way today ❤️

GrannySomerset Thu 18-Nov-21 09:33:50

Preparing to visit DH this morning and hope he is a bit more with it than yesterday. Lovely start to the day with a delivery of flowers from DGD1, currently earning actual money bar maiding in Soho and generally enjoying life.

DD and SiL arriving this evening for a couple of nights so I am looking forward to being a bit spoiled.

I hope soon to have the capacity to think about someone other than myself!

luluaugust Thu 18-Nov-21 09:20:33

Good morning from a sunny W Kent, busy week so far and a visit to the hairdressers today, taking a picture of what I want done, I know they don't like it but never seem to explain it quite right.
Good wishes to all flowers

Nannagarra Thu 18-Nov-21 09:20:20

Good morning from Sefton where it is mild and dry.
We have two acers in the garden, A. griseum currently an intense red in contrast to the hedge behind it. As dusk falls tawny owls populate this area and continue to call throughout the night. Autumn is indeed a truly awesome season.
Thinking of those who are unwell, need solace or, for whatever reason, would benefit from the sight of a passing flamingo. Have the best day everyone.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Gingster Thu 18-Nov-21 09:07:41

Thank you sar and dragonfly and gg for your kindly messages ❤️

Greyduster Thu 18-Nov-21 09:07:20

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. The sun is breaking through in South Yorkshire, but it’s chilly. It has taken me an hour to get onto Gransnet this morning. Early attempts wouldn’t open the page! All other sites were fine. Strange. We are having a cooking day today. DH is making his signature bean and bacon soup, and I have promised DGS some “proper” Cornish pasties (a complete faff but he’s worth it). I will also knock up some chicken broth as I feel as if I am coming down with a cold and that is my go to!
Glad you enjoyed Chatsworth, BlueSapphire - it’s our “local” stately home. We used to walk the parkland regularly, and visited the house and gardens in the summer with family who hadn’t been there before.
Have a good day everyone, and stay safe.
