Good morning everyone from, what I can make if it, is yet another dreary and damp day in Derby.

Currently drinking hot chocolate in bed and listening to Ngaio Marsh (the Canadian Christie) on Audible.

Top of my to-do-list today is to rectify the disgusting / embarrassing situation re my broadband provider.

Today’s (ahem) Fanny’s Funnies (humour me) are by one of my favourite cartoonists, Tony Husband.

Wishing you all a pleasant and peaceful day x

Good morning everyone
Not sure what the weather is doing yet .haven’t looked outside, just thinking about going downstairs to make my first cuppa of the day .
Had a walk yesterday afternoon down by the river .there were quite a few people about enjoying the dry but windy day .
A few bits of housework to do this morning , going to see DS DIL and DGS after lunch .
Have a good day and thoughts to those who have troubles or are feeling under the weather?

Good Morning everyone from a damp and mild south coast.

Hope you enjoy the ballet notgran. I am going to see The Nutcracker on 6 January and looking forward to that very much.

Nothing much on the agenda today apart from DH's blood test appt. at the surgery. I need to do one or two sorting out jobs but nothing stressful. Wondering if we will finally get a postal delivery as we haven't had one for well over a week and there will be some cards, for sure, when it finally comes.

Have the best day you can everyone. sunshine

Good morning, everyone, from a soggy Torbay.

Our journey home from Crewe was somewhat tedious with rain until we were South of Birmingham then congestion, causing slowing down several times South of Bristol, where we thought of grandMattie and hope her journey went rather better. As on Christmas morning, there were few lorries on the road but that trip took four hours whereas yesterday's was five and a half! We concluded the increased volume of traffic was due to New Year holidaymakers heading for the West Country and sale shoppers.

A trip to Sadlers Wells sounds marvellous, notgran - a real treat! Which ballet will you see? Have a wonderful time!

So sorry to read yesterday of the sadness in your life at the moment, ginny. ? and a virtual hug. ?

A quiet day at home today is welcome but we have some happy family times on which to reflect. I hope you all find something to cheer you today. ?????

Good morning from North Wales. Notagran I am envious of your trip to the ballet. Have a lovely time.

I was very tired last night after travelling over last few days to Harrogate and then High Peak but I have been able to spend time with all my children this year so I'm not complaining.
A quiet day for me today.

Have a pleasant day everyone and ? for those who are not well or have troubles.

Good morning from wet West Berkshire.

Back to work for me this morning and clean eating.
I’ve enjoyed the break and the over indulgence but must admit I feel so much better physically and mentally when I’m being busy and eating well.

Have the best day you can.

Good Morning, I'm up and sat here in my heated rollers. Number 2 Daughter and I are off to the Ballet later to-day. Like you Mick I'm having to start to address the Christmas weight gain so have decided to walk from Waterloo Station to Sadlers Wells. Just short of 3 miles, I think if we take our time it should be quite doable. I'll let you know. This way we are avoiding The Tube which must be even more unhealthy these days. We will probably Uber back. I have my COVID Passports (the certificates from the NHS AP) to show I am fully vaccinated which are apparently needed and I took a test yesterday. Fingers crossed we avoid all the nasties.
