Morning Mick and all

It’s cold here in S E Essex, not sure what the forecast is?

I intend to attack the Mt. Everest^ ironing pile today it may involve plenty of caffeine to keep me gong.

The 6yr old is back to school he is excited to see his friends.

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Good morning from another very cold morning in Essex by the sea. I can see thick frost on the cars in the carpark below.
DGD5 starts at her new school today, as they have to leave by 07.40 I hope my daughter manages to get her up and dressed without too much drama.
No plans here apart from washing and some admin.
I'm very pleased for your daughter Alizarin, Scentia I'm glad you are feeling OK, take care.
Whatever you are up to today enjoy, stay safe and find a smile xx

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it feels cold.
I am still fairly symptom free with this damn Covid. I am just on a heat pad for my poorly leg as I have been able to sit the last few days, snd I am just off for a gentle walk around the park before anyone is about as there is no way I can stay indoors for the next week, I need to get this leg moving!! Great news about the refund Al and to think I was chuffed I got my £ 5.20 back as I couldn’t go swimming yesterday due to testing +tive!! Well done you ❤️
Take care everyone and stay warm and safe ?

Good Morning everyone from a frosty and chilly Severnside.

Good job Alizarin that you wait until salon is closed for the day. The sound of your drill would probably make those in the waiting room wonder what on earth another client was having done beauty wise ??

Bed changing and kitchen cleaning today and hopeful that I will rearrange my appliances on worktop to my liking now I’ve moved the (large taking up a lot of space) microwave.

My thoughts to all, it’s a hats and gloves day ❄️?

Thank you, Ash and what a terrific outcome Alizarin!

Good morning from a dark, cold E Kent.
The final day of Christmas. Doesn’t seem that many have celebrated for long this year. Pant, do you have all the Epiphany rejoicing, the cabalgata and so on, where you are? My Spanish class is restarting today, and that is what we shall be talking about…
Did little yesterday, ditto today. Back to the humdrum routine.
May your day be free of troubles and pain, full of sunshine ☀️ and flamingos ?. Carpe diem. ????

Good morning from a dark, dry Torbay.

Your trips sound good, Mick! I’m glad you’ve had an enjoyable trip to the beach, Pantglas2 and wish you a safe journey to your homeland when the time comes. Good news regarding the refund and compensation, Alizarin!

Wednesday Club was not well attended. Some older, vulnerable members seem to be reluctant to join us which is understandable. A lively discussion about the last play performed, The Ladykillers, took place.

DH is having an overdue haircut today at my hairdresser's where the Covid protection procedures for clients are reassuring. Other than that, I’ll be taking down the tree and the decorations.

A blessed Epiphany to you all. ✝️

Good morning from my cold, dry brightening patio in south Cornwall where I can hear the street sweeping lorry, gulls and crows. The stars are shining fiercely again. Gosh, how kind you were en masse regarding my daughter's railway misfortune. It seems she can get a full refund of her initial ticket because the machine didn't work and a refund of the £100 because she wasn't met at the station. Yippee. That'll buy a few tins of Quality Street. Today I'm waiting around for a delivery of shelves and brackets, which I'll drill into the wall this evening, after the beauty salon beneath me is closed. A DIY book called Mrs Fixit will tell me what to do. wink

Good morning all from a freezing North Leicestershire.

Up early as DH and I are both back to volunteering today and the decorators are coming before we go. Shock to the system.

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes. DD3 and the children called in as did DS2 and we bought new bedding. grin

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good Morning Mick and everyone who follows, I think 12th day was yesterday Mick, but if the Queen leaves hers up until February does it matter? My decs come down when the tinsel gets dusty!
Pantglass are you sure about coming home? You might need several vests, all on at once.
It’s dark but looks dry in Oxfordshire, hopefully another fine day if we’re lucky.
Hope all have a good day, thoughts are with those going through tough times.

Buen dia todos from lovely ?? where it’s still dark and dry and I’m enjoying my chamberpot ☕️ whilst waiting for the washing machine to finish its bizziness!

Belated happy birthday greetings ??to kitty and j52 and any one else with celebrations I missed during my gallivant to the coast.

It wasn’t a jolly, you understand, I had to get the beach ?ready for urms who will take over caretaking duties when I return to lovely Wales ??????? next week - time she put a shift in #lazygran ....?

Will pop back later to read about your mischiefs and hope those unwell ? feeling better in the sick bay x
