Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s still dark, looks mild but is damp. The train into Oxford Street Manchester is just pulling into Platform 1. The station is well lit up this time of year, quite safe.
We are going over to mind the grandchildren at tea-time whilst their parents scoot off to the Trafford Centre to do a bit of Christmas shopping. I went to Liberty’s once with a friend years ago when we spent a few days in London (tickets to see Wolf Hall and Bring up the Bodies at the Aldwych Theatre) and oh my, what a gorgeous store! I was in heaven mooching in there. Enjoy your day Sar53. That boat certainly keeps your fella occupied one way and another!
Enjoy Friday all who can. We’re having Burford Browns and crumpets later EV! Funny how we all associate you with them now! Are you loving being back?
Here’s Matt. x
Good morning Mick, morning all from dark South Lanarkshire, I think it’s damp and drizzly but it’s hard to tell.
Your day worked out well Mick, isn’t it pleasing when things go to plan.
I’m delighted for you Mattie, to have your son home will be such a comfort and I bet Iris enjoyed that bath.
So lovely to hear about people’s to-ing and fro-ing, lots of fun being had.
Usual Friday for me in the charity shop, I do enjoy all the mini chats with people throughout the day, we are usually super busy.
I’ve no idea what we’re eating this evening as that’s down to DH so it may very well be fish and chips. 
Wishing everyone a peaceful day. Happy Friday ??
Good morning from NE Hants. Lots of lovely cheerful messages to read this morning. I have a list composed last night and hope I can get through most of those to-day. Husband is waiting results of his COVID test from yesterday. We are isolating until results arrive but are fairly confident he hasn't got "IT". I spent yesterday afternoon making my own Christmas wreath from a kit, when it's daylight I'll check the front door to see if it's blown away or fallen apart. Enjoy your fish and chips folks, wish I could join you but we are trying to avoid fried food at the moment 
Pic of my wreath as it was yesterday and as I hope it is to-day.
Good morning Mick and all, its 2° here in Glasgow. I can't decide whether to put out the washing or not, showers are predicted!
If anyone is in the least bit interested, the solution to yesterday's puzzle is at the end of yesterday's GM thread.
Well done Jax for being top of the class! ⭐
The golfer is out and about today, but a night disturbed by pain and some pretty weird dreams, means I will not be doing much.
Usually, I'm so organised, but my cards aren't even written. An enforced rest will sort that out.
The good news is I found the missing gin in a place, I had looked twice already!! I think I am going mad.
In addition I found DD's missing Christmas pyjamas, which I always give her on Christmas Eve and the After Eight sticks I bought to put in Dollie's favourite chocolate mint ice cream! It is gran's favourite too, we are indeed sympatico 
I can now rest easy. ?
Yesterday's visit to the asthma clinic didn't go too well. I was in for over an hour and given a gentle reprimand from the new, but very thorough asthma nurse for not seeking help, was given a GP appointment for Monday and advised to phone 111 or 999 over the weekend, if I get any worse! That was a shock!
I have been unable to secure a face to face appointment for nearly two years, now have been given one, without even asking! The nurse was quite right to tell me off, I am my own worst enemy!!!
I'm permanently breathless, it looks like something isn't quite right with either my lungs or heart. I'm sure it will be resolved, well I hope it will!
I haven't read the posts yet, I'm waiting for my manservant to bring my cuppa, then I will read at my leisure. He really isn't too bad a husband, despite what I say about him. ?
Sending virtual hugs to all who are struggling and hoping that those with family in the sick bay are improving.
Wishing you all as pleasant day as possible.
Photo of Iris’s leg gizmo got lost.
Good morning from a wet E Kent where I t has rained most of the night.
Got wonderful news…
1. DS is allowed to fly home from India for Christmas; the pins in his hand will be removed when he gets back - we are beyond happy;
2. Iris has had her first bath in about 13 months. DD had found a gizmo that hermetically seals her plaster making it waterproof for a bath. A very joyful event!
The dentist has sourced the pain to a leaky filling - looks like this week will end better than it started.
Visiting my old friend this morning, then pottering for the rest of the day.
Have a gentle day full of ????. Carpe diem. ???☀️☀️☀️??
Morning all from a slightly milder (9degrees) south coast.
Had a great time at my WI Christmas meeting yesterday with a finger buffet, tea, and entertainment - some of it by yours truly. Must have gone down well because I was asked to book a repeat performance for next year's event. (I think some of it is down to their liking my northern accent!).
A quiet day planned for today but I must, I MUST write some cards. Just can't seem to get going with them.
Fish and chips here too today. It seems like a popular Friday treat.
Have the best day you can everyone.
