Good Morning Friday 21st January 2022

Hello Jerseygal welcome to this forum. I have a close friend in Arizona, think it would be far too hot and dusty for me! It’s dark here right now.

Arizona Sunny Wonderful Winter??

Where do you live, Jerseygal? Is it sunny where you are? Bit grey and chilly mostly here today.

What's Up ? Are there any Sunny Spots where you live? Is it all Cold & Dreary in the Winter?

Lovely photo Alygran . Enjoy your glass of red.

Good afternoon, Annie and Mick
Didn't post earlier, as I had nothing to add, but DH gave me a kick up the b*m and out we went. It did me good and we chatted with friends for an hour. Then popped into my favourite charity shop and bought 2 books for me and a lovely one for GGS, who we shall see next weekend.
Home to tea and a toasted sandwich, and a snooze, as I was worn out doing not a lot.
Have a good day one and all.

Thank you so much Blossoming. I’m looking forward to the chat now at the weekend.

She changed her name ages ago. She was outed.

Me again too.
Just got to thinking we haven’t heard from Elizabeth up in Fife for a while ...

I thought that too. I will email her.

Me again.
I have so little to say these days I thought I would do a “show and tell”.
I wonder if Fanny’s owl is like either of my two.

Good (just after) morning from West Sussex.

I keep telling DH that the answers to every question, even those I haven’t asked, are on GN/GM thread. I was blaming our Alexa problem on the new router, set up on Wednesday.

I had a lovely day yesterday being introduced to a new volunteering role which got me out and about and cleared most of the January blues. Today I need to complete the admin side - proving my ID - so must overcome my usual mental block about all things official.

Thoughts with all dealing with illness and bereavement. Mick hope you get your dressing sorted.

Was delighted to see Anniebach has a new wheelchair and is planning her gardening.

Good morning Mick and everyone from sunny Carlisle. It was -1C when I went to bed last night so I expected it to be frosty this morning, but no, a toasty 5C instead! From your posts, the chill seems to have travelled well south.
DS2 has headed north towards Edinburgh to catch up with an old friend and returns on Sunday so I have a weekend to get up to no good in! Probably in the garden. The plants I ordered a few days ago were sent out immediately and are sitting around waiting for me. Sometimes I think that packers and dispatchers are just sitting around twiddling their thumbs waiting for me to put an order in for something, such is the speed of receiving stuff quite often.

My condolences, Alygran, he went far too soon.
And my best wishes for speedy recoveries to all those poorly and to their worrying relatives.

A pleasant weekend for all I hope.

Good morning all.
I don’t wish to detract from the thread but just to say to Fanny enjoy your owl.
I have quite a collection of Crown Derby paperweights , several birds, cats and two of the Derby Rams which were made for the centenary of the club and which maybe soon will be a very sad memory.

Don't mention the Rams ann. It's really upsetting dgs3! And me from an historical point of view.

Apparently a Europe wide Alexa ‘issue’, just shows how software controls stuff.
Welcome back Beauregard I too remember you have a smidgeon of a horse.

Holly ♥️

Annsixty and Grandmadinosaur I didn’t even know that DCFC were in trouble! I’m not a football person, but I should know about that.

I went to the last match at The Baseball Ground with an old (very young at the time!) boyfriend.
As a young student I lived in that area. All the students lived in Normanton then. Happy days

Good morning Mick and all from Cloudy Chambers, northwest coast.
Hope your ear problems are sorted soon Mick.
Just back from the undertakers handing over my husband’s ashes from five years ago. They will be interred with my brother in law on Friday when he is buried (he didn’t want to be cremated). It’s been a palaver as my son came up with a tank shell from 1943 which he wanted to use (my husband was in a tank regiment) but that idea has been abandoned and some ashes will be separated for his beloved IOM and to mix with mine. All cheerful stuff. I’ll be glad to get to my music practice with the ‘band’ this avvie as they say round here.
Thoughts to Alygran, lovely photo and anyone with troubles.

That’s interesting about Alexa not working this morning as ours wasn’t either but the alarm did go off. Very strange.

Thoughts to Alygran a poignant day ?

My dad also has a lot of Crown Derby memorabilia collected by my dear Mum. I agree Annsixty it’s very sad about the Derby Rams. I went to watch them with my Grandad from about the age of 10. I really hope a solution can be found. A club with so much history.

A virtual hug Alygran

Good Morning all from dry but chilly Harrogate. another bad night last night - thought I'd solved the problem of bad nights so will have to have a rethink.
Well done to your son Dragonfly hope he picks the right one! you have my sympathy Alygran enjoy that wine.
You made me think Ashcombe about the liquid we drink. I apparently don't drink enough and DH drinks even less, will have to have a rethink, it could solve a lot of problems. Getting 1.5 - 2 litres water a day sounds horrendous.
At the risk of nagging Mick I hope you have already contacted the surgery about your ear.
Have as good a day as possible folks

A bright frosty morning here filled with printing off stuff from solicitor and making sense of it. Was invited to a local coffee morning but am not quite ready for that yet though it would probably be good for me. Not like me to miss any kind of social activity but am not prepared to push myself just yet.

Lots of activity on the thread this morning so hope everyone has a satisfactory day.

‘Morning all from me in a chilly 1 degree Derby.
GagaGran and JaxJacky, my Alexa wasn’t working around 7-9 am.
How very odd!

I’m having some physio at the Nuffield this afternoon, which I’m really looking forward too.
DH has been very ill, but is not so high maintenance at the moment, so I can focus on myself a little bit more.
My Dad’s 50th birthday present to me has just arrived (a Royal Crown Derby Owl) so unboxing that will be a little thrill.

Have a pleasant and peaceful day everyone, and thoughts to those of us who are feeling sad, worried or poorly.
