Good Morning Thursday 13th January 2022

Good morning and I haven’t looked out to see if it’s frosty, here in Essex. I do hope not ?

Today I will walk to my friends and get a lift to my bowls club. Dh has the car as he’s going for breakfast with two old school pals. I encouraged him to go, as he’s becoming a real ‘stay at home’, which isn’t good for him.

I’ll check up on DD and if she’s ok I’ll go to my art class this afternoon.
Alizirine - 6 large canvasses! Wow you are going to be busy. ! Please show us your masterpieces as they are progressing.

My Gd (12) sent me a pic of her latest and I’ve commissioned her to do a similar one for me. I love it! She really does have an artistic flair . I’ll try to include a pic.

Hoping you all have a pleasant, peaceful and gentle day. ?

A chilly morning and I hope for another cold bright day, yesterday was beautiful. I'm off to the hospital with my DD to begin the preparation to enable treatment for her cancer to begin. 8 months of chemo will start on Monday, with the line being put in today, plus other checks. My brave girl is struggling a little, but as a family, we will get her and her children through this.

Goodness, all these posters before me.
Good morning from E Kent where the sky is lemon in readiness for sunrise.
Overslept as DH had an acceptable night and we’re out in a minute. Post later.

Here’s Matt. Always a good start to the day.

Good morning everyone from Malaga where it’s just getting light. We are forecast a sunny day after all - so you DID leave some for us Pantsglas thank you! Funny how the long range forecasts can change. Himself prefers to get up and look out of the window.

In an hour I shall strip the beds to wash them with free electricity - two hours at no cost between 9am and 11am as in our tariff.

We will have a stroll into Arroyo for coffee. I love sitting at La Canasta, people watching at the big roundabout with all the gorgeous flowers.

We are meeting friends for dinner at 9pm. (Bit late for my taste but hey ho, they’ve lived in Spain for 20y). They hail from Glasgow, are ardent EU supporters, love Nicola Sturgeon think she’s doing a grand job, would vote for Indy 2 and hate Boris. I shall keep it zipped as usual!
?
They are lovely people and if we steer the conversation away from politics we all get on like a house on fire. Friends feelings are more important than opinions any day.

Good morning from Shropshire.

Childcare today.The hurricane will be arriving shortly then school pick up for Miss M this afternoon.

Yesterday we booked a long weekend away in the summer holidays for us and the grandchildren?When DD told them she said they were screaming with excitement!I’m not sure she should have told them so soon as M has already started packing!

Thinking of all with worries and struggles?

Take care all and have the best day you can??

Good morning, it’s dark and frosty in S Hants, lots to look forward to Mick.
I have lifts to sort from yesterday, prescription to collect and a request for cold/flu stuff for son and gf with covid.
I might throw a colour on my hair, it’s looking a bit dull.
Have a good day all, ? for those struggling. And some ?? for all.

Good Morning all from frosty Severnside.

I had a thought when I opened the curtains and saw a car go past. When we first moved into this road many houses had no cars and now most houses have two sometimes three vehicles. All those people who appear on EttC to get away from a busy place they live, it’s happened here too.

Today I’ll get the cleaner out from under the stairs and do the dining room. I need to retrieve a picture that has fallen down behind some shelving. That’ll involve scrabbling around on my knees and trying to get back up again.

Have a good day everyone ❄️?it’s so cold the flamingo is keeping one leg tucked up warm near his body ?

‘Bore da’ from a cool, dark and dry north Wales ??????? where I’m awaiting delivery of the chamberpot ☕️?

At the risk of another scolding from urms, help yourselves to all ??????? which tumbled out of my suitcase ? and I’ve given Laura structions to get the big bellows out of the Anglesey weatherbarn to blow ???it as far as Inverness where my furthest request came from!

I’ll be trotting to Llandudno for some provisions after a LFT and Full Monty this am and catching up with admin this afternoon.

Pleased to hear old Dudders had as easy a journey home as us - like a military operation as Mr PG says!

Will catch up later with everyone’s doings.....x

Good morning all from a frosty North Leicestershire.

I conquered mount Everest yesterday so today is admin - I have a list of phone calls a mile long. We also have a Sainsbury's delivery this afternoon.

Good morning from south Cornwall where another sunny day is promised. Six very big square canvasses arrived yesterday, one for each day of the Creation, so I shall spend the day tackling them but will emerge at some point for a walk to the Pier. My immediate neighbour, who runs a bar, looked exhausted last night; her young staff are repeatedly getting Covid and yet it avoids her. They haven't had their boosters yet so maybe that's why. Have the best day you can.

Good morning all from a distinctly chilly Torbay, with the rare sight of frost on the cars!

Thank you for all the kind good wishes for oldddudders on his long day travelling back to la Sarthe yesterday. I’m pleased to report that all went well with, firstly, the £30 test at Boots in Exeter being negative, enabling him to continue his rail journey to London and onwards via €* to Paris then by TGV to Le Mans, where friends collected him from the station.

My dental treatment was also very comfortable with my fourth new dentist (all at the same Practice!) in two years! This kind young lady expects to stay for the foreseeable. ?She was very reassuring and completed the awkward filling without causing me any problems, then or since.

I hope the folk with pain or worries of any kind find some relief today. ?????

Good morning!
I hope you have a lovely day. Stay safe!
