Good morning all from East Yorkshire. It’s still dark but appears dry.

Had a nice morning walking along the sea front in Morecambe yesterday where it was very bracing and certainly blew a few cob webs away! Had a coffee at the Midland with a view looking out to see. Then we headed home. The journey went much smoother than getting there.

Back home and chores await for me too today. After enjoying walks the last couple of days I want to get out in the fresh air again too. It certainly helps me sleep better.
I am also hoping the lady who is having my Welsh dresser is coming to collect it tonight. Our new one is in 2 boxes taking up room in the hall and living room.

Have a good day everyone. Love and thoughts to all who are having tough times.

Morning Mick and all

Off to the gym this morning and then some bits and bobs to do. Still dark here I think it’s meant to be mild in S E Essex.

Have a good Monday

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Good Morning from Severnside to everyone. Another damp start.

I keep looking at them and saying I must do it so I will sweep the leaves up that have swirled into the patio corners. A walk to the post box also to do. If it doesn’t take too long I’ll have a surprise later in the week. My sister in law is going to post a parcel to me today.

Wishing you all a good day while you have your hands in the soap suds ??

Good morning from a dark and chilly Black Country.

Bright blue skies yesterday, so took Mum off on our usual walk along the Staffordshire railway walk to Tettenhall. We stopped at one point as a Robin was on the path. It hopped along to us merrily chirping. I bent down and it wasn't fazed at all, it flew off when it realised we had no food!

Usual Monday walk this morning. We do between 5 - 7 miles. I hope it is the former today smile

Most of the Christmas goodies are eaten now, so it is back to a more healthy eating.

Wishing you all a good Monday.

Good morning everyone, I have no idea what it’s like outside yet, will find out soon enough when I take pooch for a walk.
I didn’t sleep well so feel groggy this morning. I will need to do a shop sometime, that’ll be the first trip to the supermarket for months. I usually have online shopping but I just have to get out!

Good morning all from a dark S Hants, weather says drizzle, but I can’t see.
Another person doing some housework and towels to wash/dry. Must get a walk in and have a mosey round the garden, see if anything is stirring.
Have a good day Morningstar’s, especially our special star Mick ? for opening this thread every day.
May you spot a ? or ?? today.

Good Morning All, Chilly here to-day in NE Hants but thankfully no ice on the windscreens. I'm off for a walk with daughter this morning and then an (indoor) swim so I'm glad it is looking not too bad out there. Gagagran, Platinum Pudding? Sounds as though it will be rather hard and brittle but it's pudding I'll give it a go. grin

Good Morning one and all from a dark but dry - I think- south coast. 3.9dgrees but set to rise to about 9 degrees today.

I still haven't got my feel for what day it is back. Normally I know instinctively when I wake up but I have been a day out ever since the Festive Season with all the bank holidays. So today I am doing laundry and hope that the Monday feel will be back ready for Tuesday et al thereafter!

Nothing much on the agenda this week apart from WI on Thursday. DH is going out with his cycling club on Wednesday and it's an all day ride with coffee stop then lunch stop and home before sunset.

Trying to think of a pudding to invent for the Queen's Platinum jubilee. Apparently Dame Mary Berry will be judging the suggestions. We had Victoria sandwich and Coronation Chicken so what will be the Platinum Pudding?

Hope the day is a good one for us all. sunshine

Good morning all from a still chilly North Leicestershire.

We are up at sparrow f**t because the decorators are here again - hopefully for the last time. They are a lovely bunch, do a great job and the bedroom will be fabulous when it's done but I wish they would hurry up!

Sending very best wishes to all who need them and apologies for moaning about my little problem.

Good morning from south Cornwall where it's dry and very still; no wind for a change. Today I'm off to my best buddy's house for coffee, first time in months. Lots of nattering to catch up on. Lovely time yesterday with my granddaughter, such a sweetie. The photo is of her in contemplation before her dad dropped her at mine. I'm wondering who the spare boots belong to! Have the best day you can.

Good morning from a still dark E Kent. It is clear as I saw Venus and a couple of stars. I don’t know if it is frosty.
Sunday School went well, with the children making crowns for the visit of the Wise Men. We processed into church wearing them - felt a prat!
Spoke to DS in India, he’s doing ok, still in isolation until Wednesday, but is managing to teach, online I suppose.
Cleaning today. Funny how quickly Monday’s come along.
Special hugs for grannyS and Marydoll, and all those in need of comforting. Carpe diem. ????

Good morning Mick and all who follow, too dark yet to see what the weather is like in my part of Oxfordshire.
I’m doing the same as you today, Mick, just housework and washing.
Wishing a good day for everyone, with hugs for those who are having a tough time.
