Good Morning Sunday 2/January 2022

Good Morning all from what might be the 3rd dry day in succession in Harrogate!
I have been sorting out calendars and shall make a start on taking down cards and who they are from, etc.
Yesterday I was offered a Convection Microwave on Freecycle, since mine is supposed to be but have never managed to work it, I said 'yes please'. Now i have to clean it out and familiarise myself with it. It' a Panasonic, I've had 2 in the past and they've been good. Now I have to clean mine out so I can offer it on Freecycle. Today is going to be busy.
Thank you for the funnies Fanny
Take care Baubles I hope it's mild like I had.
GrannySomerset what a difficult time you are having, my heart bleeds for you
Hope today gets easier for everyone with trials and tribulations

Good morning everyone from a bright Northampton, hoping it stays like this as I am off to rugby this afternoon. Apparently the match is a sell-out, nearly 15000 expected. We have to show our Covid pass and wear a mask (except when I am drinking my red wine!). I am desperate to get out and be with people; I felt like climbing the walls yesterday, and was very down. Mainly due I think to the sad news I had on Friday of my college friend.

Feeling for you, Grannysomerset. It was like that for me in the last week of DH's life; I dreaded the end, but wanted it to come at the same time if you know what I mean.

Take care and stay safe everyone.

So sorry, GrannySomerset. Hard to find the words, but I send you a heartfelt hug.
Heavy rain ovenight in south Devon, and windy.
I bought too many vegetables so am making a big stew today,
and carrot soup. It will help counteract the effect of too much chocolate.

Good morning Mick and all his followers.
GrannySomerset you have my love - my mum lingered in her care home for a very long time, not knowing when there were visitors. She didn’t wake during my visits for weeks.
DGD tested positive for Covid yesterday. Her mum has been ill since Christmas with an awful throat which we now think may be Covid. Big sis and aunt also have the throat now.
This is a worry as they came here yesterday …
?

Good morning from a sunny and mild NE.
Yesterday my family visited and I slow roasted a beef joint on a bed of root vegetables and beef stock, it was so tender. Youngest GD made a huge apple crumble which was enjoyed by all.
Today I am going to have a quiet day, maybe look at netflix.
My thoughts are with you GrannySomerset, I know what you are going through. Here is a virtual hand hold and a shoulder to lean on.

Good Morning all from the Scottish Borders.
My thoughts go straight to Grannysomerset
It's just over a year since DH died . He was at home with us and I will always be grateful for that.
Today my DSis and DBiL are leaving for home after a week of good fun so I'll be alone again but I keep being told I'm doing very well.
Have the best day possible whatever you are planning.

My prayers and thoughts are with you, grannySomerset. I hope things don’t dragon too much. The wait is horrible. Much sympathy, hugs ? and flowers ?❤️

Good from sunny Leicestershire, I have just woken up, Christmas must have been more tiring than I thought.

The decorations are coming down today so we can get back to normal. The dog went home yesterday.

for Chrissielou and grannySomerset you are both in my thoughts.

Good morning from a much brighter Black Country, although dark clouds are looming.

Only plans today are to assemble a Lasagne for tomorrow, and perhaps make a few mince pies with the last of the homemade mincemeat. Roast Beef for this evening.

baubles I really hope it is only mild and you recover quickly.

Thoughts and love to GrannySomerset at such a difficult time for you

chrissielou my thoughts and love to your daughter

Wishing you all a good day

Running out of GrannySomerset.
Would it be presumptions to say I know where you are coming from . Huge {{hugs}} ?

GrannySomerset my heart really goes out to you ♥️

Good morning all from me in an unusually bright and sunny Derby.
Belated New Year Wishes to everyone too; may this year be kind to us.
As you know, it is both Dry January and Veganuary, where we are hassled encouraged to limit what we consume.
Personally, I don’t think that the midwinter is best time to be abstemious, but hey ho.
Today’s ‘Fanny’s Funnies’ have a vegan theme.
I shall go back and read the thread now.
Wishing you all a peaceful Sunday x

Oh baubles take care, hope you recover quickly.
GrannySomerset how difficult for you, you’re in my thoughts and many others x

Good morning from East Yorkshire. We had rain overnight but is a bright sky now.
GrannySomerset thinking if you and I know exactly what you mean as it was like that with my mum and although you are doing nothing it takes so much of your energy ?

We had a short drive out to the coast and a lovely walk on the seafront . Wonderful . Then we stopped of for lunch at a pub we like on the way home. A quiet day just watching TV after. DH went for a drink with DS last night … hurrah. After him being at home since 22nd all I will say is I’m ready for him to go back to work. Sorry if that sounds insensitive to any.

GS birthday party today but not sure if we can go. It is at a soft play centre. If not I’m sure we will see photos, videos etc.
Otherwise a day catching up with laundry and taking the decs down.

Happy Birthday to your son JJ

Have a good day all.

Good morning from a sunny (at the moment) south east.
Christmas decs coming down today and a general tidy up.
I should be doing a Pilates session this morning but can’t raise the enthusiasm……. perhaps tomorrow.
Roast chicken later on - it was plan B for Christmas Day in case we didn’t make it to DD’s - fortunately we did.
Have a gentle day.

Good morning all from Polmont. 8°, dry and breezy. It poured last night. It's nice to see Alizarin posting again.
Yesterday's dinner went well with only a few comments from mum. She was on her best behaviour as my friend and her partner were here too.
Today I will be having a very quiet day and I plan to do very little. Have a good day all.

Good morning all. It is cheering to see some blue sky this morning. Wonder how long it will last.
Another quiet day apart from just the two of us going out for Sunday lunch.

Later I’ll get my new diaries out and transfer birthdays and add in things already arranged for this year. I’ll be glad to get back to meetings and clubs , of course taking care. Also be good to see family who have had various colds, coughs and tummy upsets. No covid luckily but best to keep it to themselves.
My nephew who had the heart attack is doing well and I had a nice chat with him. Friend is also feeling a little better but still has tests to be done.

Thoughts with all who are sad or poorly and wishing everyone a smile in your day.

Good morning from North Yorkshire. I just stood in the kitchen and watched the sun rise. Magical!
Grannysomerset my heart goes out to you. Sending a virtual hug.
Yesterday was warm and bright so I managed a good walk to the next village. May do the same later after I have taken the decorations down. I have joined a walking challenge for January to help my motivation.
Have a good day everyone. Take care and stay safe.

Good morning from a grey mild Oxfordshire, there is a little brightness peeping through. Will take the tree down and pack away the decorations, by the time I bring them out again I'm hoping my daughter will be cancer free and well again. She faces a gruelling 8 months.
Sending a virtual hug to all those in pain, whether it be physical or emotional pain.

Baubles ?
Take care!

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s dry. It hammered it down with rain in the night. It seems mild out.

No cooking being done here today. I suggested to my stepfather that the three of us eat at his favourite Italian restaurant for a late lunch. Himself will fetch him. I will just walk round the corner and meet them in there.

Hopefully the 8 of you test -ve Jax and you all get to meet up for the birthday boy’s lunch. Enjoy Sunday all who can. x

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Up early because sleep eludes me (at night - no problem dozing in front of the TV). DH drifting further and further away and has tested positive so visiting him, while allowed, poses a risk. DD has decided against and I suspect DS will too but I will go some time today for a short while just in case he knows I am there. This is a strange time, waiting for the event I dread yet want and I seem unable to focus on anything. The kind and supportive thoughts of all of you really do make a difference and are a tremendous help.

Good morning Mick, morning all from soggy South Lanarkshire.

My PCR was positive, no surprise really although I had held out hopes that I just had a bad cold. My chest is tight and sore and I feel wiped out so it’ll be a day on the sofa for me. Yesterday DD came and collected daft dug to stay with them for a few days, I did miss her last night.

Kind thoughts to those struggling and wishing everyone a peaceful day.

Good morning all . It was a lovely morning and early afternoon here in Essex yesterday. Not sure what today will be like. The evenings are slowly drawing out and as I dog walked at 4.40 it was still quite light.
DD still in hospital, so ongoing worry and child care .

Will do a roast for us all today.

Will take down decs etc.

Wishing you all a gentle day.
