Good Morning Sunday 12th December 2021

Good morning everyone from a bright Northampton where it looks as though we have had rain overnight. Much milder too, at 12°C.

Had a lovely time with younger DGD yesterday; I got the tree in from the garage and she helped me put it up. I then put her in charge of decorating it and she did a very good job. Should have been having her again today, but she has been invited to a friend's. It was elder DGD's first panto performance yesterday, and all went very well. Looking forward to seeing her dance next Sunday, fingers crossed!

Will put a few more decorations up today, (must flick the duster around first!), then catch up with a few tv programmes and read the Sunday papers. So far the cats have shown little interest in the tree, so hoping it stays that way!

Wishing all a peaceful Sunday.

Good morning from a dull, damp but warmer Essex by the sea.

DH has gone to rugby with his grandson but it's an away game, quite a distance away so he won't be back til about 1'sh. Hopefully it will give me time to wrap his Christmas presents.

Love to Gingster and her daughter and to anyone else who has worries or is just feeling a bit low.

Have the best Sunday you can and stay safe everyone xx

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good Morning Mick and everyone from Carlisle, where it is barely light. I can see it's cloudy and damp-looking but fingers crossed I can get out to do some gardening. Little by little it gets developed.
Nothing else is planned for today otherwise, but probably a bit of picture hanging and book reading will happen. I did a bit of baking yesterday, just to use things up, and a nice moist ginger cake resulted. I'll have to get on and eat it as my small freezer is rammed ready for the holidays. I'm going to buy a backup one to put in the garage, this little one that came with the house is only good for the bare necessities. I like to keep well stocked up these days in case I can't get out for any reason and don't want to totally depend on online deliveries.

Some of you seem to be having good times and to those of you who aren't, I hope things get better.

Good morning from Durham - it’s surprisingly mild here. I have my SinL staying with me as we’re having a naming ceremony for DGS2 at lunchtime. I’ve had a very busy couple of weeks - nothing exciting, but I’m weary, so hoping she goes home tomorrow and doesn’t turn the visit into one of her legendary shopping trips. Sorry folks if that sounds a bit mean.
Hope we can all make the best of today, however sad, stressed or happy we are.

Good morning all from Polmont. 6° already so a mild day ahead. It's thin clouds up above Hello to Daisytwoshoes. I hope you feel better soon Flossiebo.
Yesterday I finally got the Christmas cards written. I made the Christmas day soup and it's in the freezer. I did all the usual Saturday cleaning and washing and washed all the floors. Today I'm going to wrap presents. Chicken for dinner later and I'll strip the carcass to make stock. I'll have a quiet day.

Good morning everyone from a starting to get light, dry and quiet day here on the east coast of Fife. What a restless night me and my dh have had he’s been so very restless with the shakes. Hopefully they’ll clear up today, he’s up and about, putting a hot bottle in the spare bed in preparation for a rest day for himself. He’s not a complainer. Once he’s had a rest he’ll hopefully start to feel better. Then we can all get on with things.

Have a good Sunday and stay safe.

Good morning, its warmer today in Manchester. I'm sorry you are having a down day Flossiboe. I am feeling that way too, I had to use my oxygen the last few days and nights.
I wanted to come on this thread to say I'm sorry for the fuss I caused before. I accept Marydolls apology and I'm sorry if I misunderstood her words and I want to say thankyou to LauraNorderr for understanding my feelings and trying to help. I dont want to start it up again but I hope both ladies accept this and let me stay on here. I have tried to carry on posting on other threads but its hard to get to know people on more temporary threads iyswim. Have a nice day.

Good Morning. Lots of upbeat posts this morning but sorry Flossie isn’t feeling great.

DDs birthday celebrations went well ( everyone did a LFT ).
Delicious food, beautiful cake and decorations. Everyone really got into their characters for the Murder Mystery and much fun and laughter was had by all.

Today I am off to Blenheim to see the house and grounds all lit for Christmas. Going with all 3 DDs and lunch on the way.

Wishing you all a happy Sunday .

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s dark but feels a bit milder
Your snowlympics sounds good fun Scentia - enjoy!
Day 7 of my isolation today so I’ll be ok to go out on Thursday - yeah! If it stays dry today though I’m going to potter in the garden for a bit as I need some outdoor air. I’ve a nice little sheltered sitting out area that I sometimes use in the winter, with a tree that we can decorate with lights so I might do that and sit out for a while with my hottie and a blanket
Hope your day improves flossiebo
That hamper sounds like the perfect gift pantglas and fingers and toes crossed for your family tea cornergran
Hoping your DD is doing ok Gingster and she’s home soon ?
Take care everyone whatever the day brings ?

Good morning from the Scottish Borders where it is mild & quiet. DD's birthday today.
It always takes me back to the day she was born when DH brought me a bunch of roses from our garden!
I won't see her, unless virtually.
Hope you all have a happy day whatever you do .

Good morning Mick, morning all from damp South Lanarkshirewhereits just beginning to get light.

Hope you feel better Flossie, I woke up feeling like that yesterday, it’s horrible.

No removal of masks for singing in our church, is this to do with new regulations in England?

I went to a retail park yesterday to pick up a few things, the shops really weren’t too busy at all and it did me good to get out. I’ve one GC still to buy for, she’s at a tricky age, her Mum isn’t coming up with any ideas for me and the clock is ticking.

This afternoon I think I’ll start wrapping presents, it always feels more like Christmas when there’s a festive pile.

Wishing everyone a peaceful Sunday. ??

Good morning from North Wales. Just starting to go light.
I have spent a lot of time on. line over last few days ordering presents and just hope they arrive on time. The cake I sent for my son's birthday was late.
Will have a walk later but the paths are really muddy after all the rain we've had.
Usual chats and texts with family and friends today.

Flossiebo ? sorry you feel down.
Have a pleasant Sunday to Mick and all.

Good morning all and yes it is milder today. Thank goodness.

Little GD has gone to other nanny’s overnight and will come back here this evening. Dd has just told me she has to stay in hospital to have a drain and intravenous antibiotics. ?

The Christingle making and craft afternoon was lovely. We had a few carols and a little service. The children stood with their candles alight while we sang ‘Away in a Manger’. Always emotional. ?.

DS2 is arriving soon for breakfast . He lives in Herts so we don’t see him as often as the others. He came to Essex last night to have an evening with old pals. Slept overnight with brother and will journey home late morning. He’s such a dear and very precious to us. (As they all are, of course) . ?

I can’t understand how you have to wear masks in church but take them off to sing. It’s the singing bit that expels all the breath! ???. Crazy!

Wishing you all a lovely day.

Thankyou Sar for your PM. and all your support ❤️

Good morning all from still dark Harrogate
Hope you feel better as the day goes on Flossie
I am hoping to go o church this morning - haven’t been for a week or two.
We must have similar hearing aids Stillearning Phone calls to my mobile blue tooth into my hearing making it much easier to hear a conversation.
Got the Christmas tree up yesterday. - it’s getting to look a lot like. Christmas!!
Have the best day you can folks.

Good Morning everyone from Severnside. It’s getting light with fine rain falling.

I bought a few things at the Christmas fair yesterday and saw my husbands friend. We spent a lot of time laughing. He doesn’t change and we wouldn’t want him to

Today is hoovering and dusting the downstairs rooms and make a start on putting decorations up. After I took them down last year I put them in the garage to make life easier.

I hope your day picks up Flossie and everyone has a good one ?

Good morning from a dark, mild, Colchester. Double figure temperature today. Our heating came on earlier but has reached temperature and clicked off already.
DD is dropping 2 DGS off with us while she does a cross country run this morning. Her DH is working all weekend so we'll probably ending up sharing our roast pork.
Love to all ? x

Morning all.
Mostly cheery news this morning so hope our good wishes cheer you upFlossiebo
You are two busy people GrandMattie and Scentia
Watched a really good film last night with Ian McKellen and Helen Mirren. The Good Liar. Give it a go !

Morning Mick, morning All. Our corner of Somerset feels milder, looks damp out there.

Finally finished fhe cards to post, a weight lifted. Local friends to do, plenty of time for those as they are hand delivered by Mr C. Fingers crossed for us, please, it seems our family tea might happen. Confirmation or otherwise expected by 11 this morning. If it can’t anyone want a sandwich and for too much cake?

Hope the day brightens for you flossiebo.

Take care everyone. Hope Sunday is gentle with us all.

Morning Mick and all the early birds from a dark and dry north Wales.

The last of present delivery today - a giant hamper for DD and SIL filled with hand picked expensive treats from Waitrose- the sort of stuff you’d never buy yourself because it’s cheaper in Aldi!?

Hope everyone has a peaceful Sunday and ? for ‘flossiebo* and all having tough times x

An early (for me) good morning from S Lanarkshire, still pitch black outside. I haven’t been sleeping all that well recently so straight through till 6 30 this morning was lovely and enjoying my first cuppa of the day, I might even snooze again!

Hope your day is better than you fear Flossiebo

I haven’t returned to Sunday mass yet, still preferring to go during the week when it is much less busy, also I really enjoy the church in Ireland which I found during lockdown. The priest gives an excellent sermon and always leaves you with something to think about.
I certainly don’t understand the logic of sitting with masks on but taking them off to sing?!

Tomorrow is return to the hearing world day, I am so pleased my isolation is nearly over. Yesterday DD4 came and got the tree and decorations down from the loft, put them up and left me with a Christmas house! I can only hear clearly through my mobile phone so we sat opposite each other and spoke on the phone?

Parcel wrapping today and if the rain stays off I may walk and hand deliver the local cards.

Wishing everyone a peaceful Sunday ???

Good morning all. I also wonder how church will be this morning. The rules are all so inconsistent arent they? I am going out shortly for the first of my two daily walks. Hope everyone has the best day they can

Good Morning All. I remembered while coming down the stairs that I hadn't turned the lights off my door wreath. On going outside to do this, it is weirdly warm outside. I wonder if my wreath lights have caused that? The Christmas tree is going up to-day. I do "tacky" for lots of my decorations and our tree is one of those ones that snows. It gives us, family and friends a giggle. Then a swim this evening when I'm hoping the pool will be quiet as it was last week as people have other more exciting things to do. Every cloud etc.

Good morning Mick and all, dark but dry and positively balmy here in S Hants at 11deg.
A gold I hope Scentia.
I’d better get your autograph now grandMattie before you’re whisked away you woman of many talents, delightful. Such good news on your son, 7 sleeps.
Washing today, a bit of printing then I need to think about a birthday present for my son, 31 on the 2nd January.
Wishing you all a pleasant day, especially those poorly or down. I hope your day improves Flossiebo ??.

Morning everyone don’t post very often but read everyone’s news daily
It’s still dark outside ,just having my first cuppa of the day
Awake early as we have the 2DGS for a sleepover
Sending “Floosiebo “ ? hope you feel better as the day goes on .
Have a nice Sunday all
