Good Morning Wednesday 29th December 2021

Good morning all from a soggy Polmont. Wet,wet,wet today and currently 3°. It's still quite dark outside too.
Yesterday was a lovely quiet day and I pottered around for most of it. I had a bad nights sleep though so I'm not feeling at my best this morning. A usual Wednesday awaits. I'll visit mum then I have a couple of deliveries to make. Dd left stuff behind on Christmas Day so I'll nip up with it. Apart from that, nothing is planned. Have a good day all.

Good morning Mick, Annie and all.
I am up earlier than usual, as I have a blood test at 9 am. Then a CT scan later, so that's my morning sorted.
Our cleaner will be here to do her magic, I think, as I'm not sure of the arrangements we made before Christmas.
Have a good day one and all.

Morning Mick and all from a wet S Hants. Transporting bikes to DD later and washing bedding, today’s jobs.
Thoughts with those poorly or worried.
Have a good day all ??

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s raining. We are picking the grandchildren up in an hour to take them to Click & Climb. It’s ideal for this weather as an indoor activity. We will then take them out for lunch & they can then come up here to play for an hour. Our son in law goes back to work today after the Christmas break and this will give our daughter a few hours of headspace! ‘Me time’ I think it’s called nowadays...

No Matt, sorry. He must be away on holiday. I will include one as soon as he returns to the Telegraph. Enjoy Wednesday all who can. x

Oh, and our journey only took 5 hours including 2 T&P stops, with lunch thrown in. We seem to have missed most of the incidents - just a bit slow nearing the M4/25 interchanges as usual, and near Guildford as usual. Thank you for thinking of us. ❤️
(T&P = tea and pee! ?)

Good morning everyone.
Thank you for all the kind thoughts and words re my news yesterday.
Nephew is stable and resting as is the friend who should have been coming to stay.
The other friend whose husband died has family with her now. I hope to see her in a day or two.
I really should put the spare days I have to good use so shall work in that today.
Kind thoughts to all in sorrow or pain of any kind. Hope there is a smile coming your way

Good morning from a grey E Kent.
I’ve only just woken up- an unheard event - and must get some food in. I’ll be back! Perhaps not today as I have guests for lunch and dinner.
I’m fine, just was a bit frazzled. I’ll explain when I’ll post. Thank you all you lovely GraMmingos for your kindness. ❤️
Carpe diem ?????

Good morning Mick and all his followers.
Although the ground is wet, it isn’t raining! Fingers crossed for a bit of brighter weather later.
DS, DiL and various family members are coming to tea tonight. We never know which of their teenagers will come. I feel very out of practice at entertaining these days.
I hope the day is kind to everyone.

Good morning Mick and all who follow from a very grey and quiet Lancashire/Cheshire border. The family have just departed to the airport and it feels so empty here. Thankfully my Dd and OH will be back after dropping them off.

I'll be thankful we don't have to watch Power Rangers or Star Wars until summer when they will return.

Lots of washing and tidying today. The camping bunk beds were a hit but have to be packed away and put into the loft. I'm looking forward to the quiet but will seriously miss the playing.

Hope people with ills or troubles find a little ?? today.

Good morning all from dark Harrogate
Enjoyed my trip into town yesterday, it was surprisingly quiet, although it seemed to be getting busier when we were coming home
Today I have a call from physio to check on my arm after cracking a bone when I fell in November, the arm is fine. Normal service has been resumed. After that it will probably be housework.
You will be glad to be home after your tedious journey Ashcombe
Enjoyed ‘Fanny’s funnies’ Fanny
Hope you all have the best day possible

Good morning all from a soggy North Leicestershire. One of the routes out of our village and the next village is flooded again which sends more traffic down our road.

Not much on the cards today - I think we will eat at lunch time and do some TV catching up this afternoon.

Good morning from a damp, mild Oxfordshire, we actually had some sunshine yesterday afternoon. Today will be some housework, soup making and dog walking, nothing exciting but I'm enjoying the time off work so much, I will need to conjure up some enthusiasm next week though!

Good morning from rainy Colchester. A mild wet day forecast...yuk.
We are having our usual Wednesday morning coffee meetup in the town centre. A new lady has shown interest so I hope a few others turn up.
Probably won't pootle in town afterwards as usual because of the weather but may try to persuade DH to drive to Aldi or Lidl, which are both in walking distance.
No chance of weight loss here today.
Love to all ? x

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s still very cold, icy and frosty outside. The warmer weather is due up here later today so that should thaw out the ground and garden soon.
Today I’m going to the gym for my splash around at the Aqua class which is good fun and then finishing packing for our trip to see DD1 and family in Cambridge over the New Year. We’re not going by train this time but getting the Inverness to Luton flight in the morning. Hopefully it won’t be too busy and everything on time etc
Hope the Imp is better soon GG poor lamb
Marydoll hope you’re feeling a bit better soon
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good Morning everyone from a wet Severnside. It was raining when I went to bed at 4:30 am. I wanted to concentrate on reading something last night so I muted the tv then fell asleep. I was quite shocked at the time on waking. My chair must be comfy ?
I’ve a parcel coming today so I have something to look forward to and will carry on with my dressmaking.
Yesterday I had a lovely FaceTime with my sister in law and brother. He was looking very relaxed.

Stay safe all ??

Good morning and yes GG still dark but mild here in
Essex. Sorry to hear that The little Imp is poorly. Hopefully just too much excitement, goodies etc. ?

Today I will have little gd as her mum has a hospital appointment. I’m feeling full of cold and quite lethargic, so we’ll , hopefully, have a quiet few hours. Reading and doing puzzles..etc.

This dreary weather is so depressing. We all need a bit of sunshine .

Wishing you all a gentle day ?

Good morning everyone from a dark, damp Yorkshire. Too dark to see the poor sheep in the field opposite me but i know they're there, brrrrrr.

Yesterday myself and my granddaughter watched Home Alone in a .... spigeltent! Didnt have a clue what it was, until yesterday. Afterwards she went on the fabulously spectacular carrousel, brilliant day.

Today is McDonald's! Horrible food, but she likes it.
Whatever you do today, ENJOY

Morning all.
Been wet here in Chester.
Lovely lazy day yesterday. Cooking and shopping today and tomorrow for Hogmanay and New Year's Day visitors.
Not many posters yet this morning.

Good morning all from a wet Glasgow.
Thanks for the double dose of humour Fanny ?

Not feeling too good today and WiFi issues, so a very short (much to the relief of many) post from me.

For those with sorry and pain, I wish you the strength to get through the day? and for those with plans, enjoy!

Good morning! Another wet start here in north Wiltshire so DDog and I will have a squelchy walk again.
Nothing at all planned today so probably will do some card making I think or start clearing my crafting stash out. I honestly don’t need all the yarn I have accumulated!
I really don’t like these dreary days between Christmas and New Year, they seem to drag.
Hope you all have a peaceful day x

Always good to start the day with a smile, *FannyCornforth! Thank you!

Gransnet HQ will remove the duplicate if you report your second post, although everyone understands the frustration of posting pics that don’t immediately appear!

Good Morning Michael and all from North Warwickshire. It is still dark but I can hear raindrops pinging on the roof. Deep joy.

Laundry today. Also I have to arrange for our local freelance Dracula to come and take a blood sample as the pharmacy is threatening to not fill my next prescription if I don't get my blood tested.

I hope everyone has a decent day.

Morning Mick and all

Still dark in S E Essex, we are forecast up to 15’ here today, how odd for late December.

Our plans are up in the air, The Imp
started vomiting around 6.30pm, very hot leading up to vomiting all over DD’s bed in the middle of the night. Washing machine is on already, they are asleep in another spare room. We are meant to be having the other AS’s and their families here for dinner tomorrow, we will have to see if we have any more sickness this morning if so I will cancel and hopefully rearrange for Sunday.

Sorry you have so much to contend with ginny ?

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Drat
