Good Morning all from Severnside. Dark and more dark.
I’m pleased to hear you’re feeling better Mattie. I hope travel has been uneventful for Olddjudders and GrandmaSue’s family.

I have to pick up my prescription and have a dentist appointment this afternoon. This morning I’ve got gravel to pick up off the carpet. I have some twinkle sticks in a pot and last night I knocked them over while trying to get something out of the cupboard. Much swearing!

Hope you all have a good day as you go about gathering up goodies for Christmas ?

Good morning all from North Leicestershire where it is quiet and not too cold.

Tiler again this morning so DH and I will go out and do some errands.

We didn't go to Wolfie's nativity yesterday which is a blessing as he just sat on the teacher's knee looking embarrassed at all the goings on around him.

Enjoy your days as much as you can and love to all with worries.

Good morning from a dark E Kent.
Ash, I hope oldD had a good journey and is now safely home with you.
Feeling better today after Tuesday night’s shenanigans.
I’ve got a Spanish class this morning, I have to confess that my heart isn’t in it. Our lovely tutor works her little socks off to make the zoom classes more interesting, but without the student around, I find it hard to engage. Let’s hope that Lynne will make it fun today.
I made some gingerbread biscuits for Saturday, the Sunday school children will be decorating the church Christmas tree. Need something to bribe them with! ?
I also went to the supermarket yesterday. Although the shelves were fairly empty as usual, I managed to get everything on my list, which is most unusual these days.
I hope that everyone is keeping safe, well and content. Carpe diem. Catch a little ? or ??. ☀️❤️???

Scentia pace yourself woman. It’s one thing being busy it’s another thing entirely aiming for ^superwoman* status. You’ll burn yourself out trying to fit too much activity into every day.

Which reminds me to ask how is our other busy bee grandMattie this morning? I hope you slept well and feel more yourself after that funny do the other night. x

Good morning all. Still dark here in Lancashire/Cheshire border. Had one hours sleep. My DD, DiL and 2 grandsons are arriving today from Portugal. I've not seen them in RL for 3 years and I'm just so excited. Facetime is brilliant but not the same. I've got to keep myself busy until 6ish. It's going to be a struggle but I'll try.
Hope people have a good a day as possible with ??? and ???

Perhaps I have to fully download ALL the Telegraph first?

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it is a bit cooler than of late.
I am in work already as I have been up since some ungodly hour. We are mega busy and today is nanna duties so I will work until they finish nursery and pick them up at lunchtime. We are off to gymnastics today and then meeting their mummy in town for tea. I have deliveries in between all of that too!
I ordered myself a weighted blanket at 4am this morning, will it work I wonder, and if it does, how will I fit in all my stuff if I start sleeping for a full 8 hours a night??
Thinking about people with real problems today though and hope you all find a chink of light and happiness in your day.
Take care everyone and stay safe❤️

It seems the days of sharing Matt must be over. Strange indeed. I can only assume some kind of block is encrypted somehow now. I will try sharing it with my sister in Spain. Maybe it will go to a private email but not a public forum any longer? Too techie for my brain.

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where I’m up with the larks because we’re off to mind the grandchildren today (and tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday!). Crazy primary school have broken up already for their Christmas break! The primary where their mum teaches full time doesn’t finish until next Tuesday adternoon. The same Trafford borough too!

I find I often wake up a bit before I’ve set the alarm which is strange. Must be on my mind!

Pantglas2 giving you a good morning ? over there at tu casa in Spain. I hope you have a wonderful time! We had hoped to fly out to our little place on 3rd January but sadly we have a family funeral coming up (date to be confirmed) so we might have to reschedule.

Enjoy Thursday all who can. Here’s Matt (hopefully). x
