Good Morning Wednesday 15th December 2021

Morning Mick and all

Not sure if I will go to the gym today, I still bits and bobs that need doing round the house. Mild weather here in S E Essex

Sar53 hope all goes well for your DD ?
Oh dear grandmattie hope you feel better, have a restful day.

Keep safe and well folks ???

Good morning from a dark,dry East Yorkshire.
Yesterday started with a nice surprise. When DH was putting out the bin first thing the man next door had taken a parcel in for us. We’d had a note through the door from DPD but no box ticked as towards what had been done with it. We hadn’t been expecting anything. Anyway DH shouted up to me “there’s a surprise for you” . It certainly was as we were sent a drinks hamper from Fortnum and Mason ? we got one last year from a business associate. As he no longer dealt with them he wasn’t expecting one this year. We’d only stocked up at the weekend too. Oh well - party anyone?
Coffee morning was enjoyable and was lovely to see our friend who recently lost her husband. She was so brave I’m sure I wouldn’t be so composed. I also picked up my order from Next.
Today it is the Nativity for GS. He is the Narrator and as his friend decided he would rather be an animal he took on his lines too. He’s taken it all in his stride. Oh how I’d love to be there to see him. Last night when he was here I put Christmas songs on Alexa and on the mention of the word Bethlehem in one he said mm Bethlehem I know that word!
I’m meeting DIL afterwards as she says she wants to start venturing further than the village. We are going into town we will take it slowly and have lunch somewhere.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning all from S Hants, 11deg. We too have our passes on our phones, out later to pick up some left’s ordered yesterday.
My voluntary phone day and a drive later, in between there’s washing and I might make some stuffing.
Fingers crossed for your daughter Sar.
Disappointing Beechnut I can understand the tears.
Enjoy your day, stay safe, thoughts with those struggling ??

A late “Good morning” from E Kent.
Had a dreadful night. Got up around midnight for a wee. The next thing I knew was that all lights were blazing and DH was fussing around me. Sweating profusely,I refused point blank to move, didn’t even pull up pjs. I was then very sick, and managed to get back to semblance of verticality ?. Poor DH, I’m never ill, he was so panicked. Today, He will treat me as if I was made of glass. Feeling better but not 100%.
Stay safe, keep well. Carpe diem. ?????

Good morning, all, from a calm and mild Torbay.

The Ladykillers was well received last night and I enjoyed the chance to welcome and seat patrons, besides selling ice creams in the interval, one of which I had to sample (for quality control purposes, you understand.)

DH is just leaving his local station en route for Paris, then via €star to London, eventually arriving in Torquay this evening, if all goes to plan. DPD should deliver his PCR test today, after which he will be “imprisoned” in my flat, awaiting a negative result!

Lidl shop soon and Wednesday Club Christmas party at the theatre later.

Heartening news yesterday .after all, LauraNorder. Sincere condolences to Barmeyoldbat and thoughts with all with health worries regarding themselves and family members.

Happy hump day! ?????

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s still dark but looks dry outside
Yesterday I had a really lazy day so I’m awake early today as I think I’ve caught up on all my needed sleep. Just raring to go now once I’m released from isolation on Friday
So disappointing about your family plans Beechnut I hope the trip is rearranged soon.
Hope all goes well for your DD Sar everything crossed
Hope everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good morning all from a mild North Leicestershire.

Up early as the tiler, who didn't make it yesterday, is coming at 8.30 this morning. Then we have a Sainsbury's delivery between 10 and 11 then my brothers and I are going to put a plant and wreath on the grave of our other brother. We usually go for a meal after in a near by pub but have decided to forgo that this year.

This evening, we should be going to Wolfie's nativity service but he has a cold and might not be well enough. Whether it should go ahead at all is debatable, in my view

Good morning from Essex by the sea. It's mild and dry outside.
Shopping this morning to use our vouchers in Lidl.
DD2 is having two more moles removed this afternoon exactly a year since her malignant Melanoma was removed. Fingers crossed ? that these two are benign. Hopefully we will get the results of the biopsies soon.
We are having a Christmas drink with friends this evening, they've asked that we do lft's before we go. Luckily I managed to get a box through the post yesterday.
Have a wonderful Wednesday whatever you may be doing xx

Good morning all from the Black country, dry and mild.
Mick you can get official passes from NHS website DH downloaded his and sent for mine, at the time it didn't have the booster on but would have now, he also sorted our friends out with theirs.
Mums and toddlers today so early start, we have a visit from Santa.
Will catch up later, welcome any newbies, best wishes to anyone celebrating and virtual hugs where needed.
Enjoy your day and may you all find some ?.

Good Morning Mick, Scentia and all who follow from Severnside. Damp, dark and fairly warm.

Some pottering today and I want to go out into the garden to fill up the green bin ready for collection day.

On Monday night my brother and I talked about our family coming from overseas after Christmas. Yesterday we had the news they have cancelled their trip. I had a few tears but it’s better to be safe and they are now planning for next summer.

As far as I can I’m keeping outings to a minimum.
Stay safe everyone ??

Good Morning Mick and everyone from a VERY mild (17 deg.) south coast.

We have both got covid passports on our phones even though we shan't be attending any of the venues requiring them. Who knows where the powers that be will decide we need to show them next?

DH's bike club Christmas lunch is today and they are cycling to the cafe where people with learning disabilities serve etc. They go there every Christmas and it's always a top notch meal.

I shall be pottering while the cleaners are be here to do their magic. My main task is to sort the freezer to make some space for a delivery on Saturday.

Hoping our family gathering on Sunday can still go ahead in light of this dratted omicron. Fingers crossed.

Have the best day you can everyone!

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it is still dark and mild again.
A full day at work today, I really don’t have time to work to be honest??
Yesterday I had to really shout at a little boy in the soft play as he was really kicking my DGS when he was lay on the floor, I wouldn’t normally but there was no parent in sight, well there was once I started shouting ? my poor DGS was saying ow, ow ‘top it’ so I had to intervene. All sorted in the end and the ended up playing nicely together!!
Parish Council meeting tonight, I had my first minutes addressed to Councillor Scientia, I have made it in the world!!
Take care everyone and stay safe.
Good idea about the photocopy Mick
