Good Morning Monday 24th January 2022

Good afternoon Mick, Annie and all. Very belatedly.
By the time I'd had my breakfast, showered and washed my hair, it was coffee time.
Then a wash to put on and yesterdays's to put away.
I had started to have a sort out in the garage, and see if DS2 wanted anything.
Thought it would be a good idea to get DH to sort through his several drawers of "electrical string". Oh my, what a haul after a couple of hours. He has kept a few that are according to him, "rarer than hen's teeth", but 3 drawers are now down to 1.
Neither of us fancied lunch, so I had a cup of tea, an apple and some cashew nuts. DH had tea and some Bombay Mix.
Sending best wishes to Ginster's daughter and all those going through tough treatment.
Enjoy the rest of your day one and all.

Ahh yes I did see a gorgeous sky here this morning stilllearning but didn’t take a picture - the colours were beautiful, thanks for reminding me
Take care when driving later ?

Late to the party this morning but at least I’ll manage a post, the last few mornings have been quite mixed up due to me religiously following this NHS sleep training app. It seems I now can’t do more than one thing at a time!

Good wishes to your daughter Gingster, she is in my thoughts today.

Lovely wee photo Urms, they are wonderful at that age aren’t they? And of the handsome languid fox!

Happy birthday to Llamas, I enjoy thinking about the extended group we seem to be, all with such different backgrounds and lives.

Post school childminding day now, so I better get myself ready for the drive, thank goodness for our good weather at the moment. There was an amazing picture of the sky in Inverness this morning Brook, I hope you were lucky enough to see it.

Have a good rest of the day everyone ???

Good Morning from an overcast Cambs.,

Merlot, that urban fox is very healthy looking.
As you may know, I have lived in the East Anglian countryside for all of my almost 76 years, we see occasional foxes & know they are around, but they often look a bit on the "manky" side!

Happy Birthday Llamas, did I see another 1946 er?

Loved the pic of the fox. What a handsome chap. The one we have around here has wakened me a couple of times with his yapping. Probably miffed because there are no rich pickings.

Merlotgran lovely photo my fox didn't stay long enough for photo.

Good morning all, I have been awake since 5.30 as I needed to go the dr surgery for8 to make a much needed appointment I have tried 3 times by phone but no luck, so today armed with a hot water bottle to keep out the cold I arrived at the surgery at 7.45 and managed to make a face to face with my chosen dr so I am happy. I loved reading how Urms was going to spend her, that should be me but unfortunately my winter haunt is shut down with no one allowed in so I will just have to wait.

Good Morning all from dry Harrogate
Happy birthday and welcome Llamas99
Today we are taking the family silver to be valued at the auction house, and see if its worth hanging on to or flogging. Have downloaded Wordle but I don't seem to have one word per day - it's several, my best score is 7 so far.Typically cute, Urms. When my DGD was about 2 she was very quiet and busy. My DD found she had put nappies on each of her teddies and dolls - used a whole packet.
I'm sorry about your eye problem Boat it must be worrying.
Have the best day you can folks

Whoops, sorry Llamas, I meant to wish you a Happy Birthday as well. Have a great day. ???

Did wordle in 3 lucky guess I think ?

Good morning everyone from a bright but chilly Algarve. Today I will force myself to try to set the outside temperature of the thermometer. We had to get a new one in December but didn’t stick to the same make and the instructions on the new one leave much to be desired.
Apart from that we have the physio today and then a trip to the dentist later.
In theory the dentist trip will only be to replace a lost filling but I’m always worried that he’ll find something else as well.

Gingster hope her ap appointment goes ok ,happy birthday Llamas?.Cute photo Urms .just going to try wordle.I am going to friend's for lunch .

Good morning Mick and everybody. Grey skies in my corner of Lancashire this morning though forecast to clear later, currently 3°C. Laundry to be done and a walk later.

I thought you’d got some new pink trainers ready for a new fitness regime Urms then I read on

Wishing you all the best possible day. May all those with worries find some comfort and all who are under the weather find some relief. ?

Good morning from a dry and sunny NE.
Quiet day yesterday, caught up with some TV and did a couple of crosswords.
Message from DD to say she was still unwell but had not had the results of the scan from the hospital, may need to contact the GP again to get some help. It is her DH who helps me and takes me shopping so I am wary of giving him any more stress.
I have stubbed my toe as I was leaving the bathroom and the blood went everywhere, managed to staunch it a bit and get a plaster on and sitting with a pad of tissues underneath now. Hope I don't need to put shoes on today.
Happy Birthday Llamas79.

Thankyou for all good wishes regarding DD’s consultation. So lovely ! ?

Couldn’t get Wordle today. ?

Good morning all from grey and chilly South Hants. monk, I lived in East Anglian countryside for nearly fifty years and only saw about half a dozen foxes in all that time. Now I’ve moved to an urban environment I can only say I’ve never seen so many!

This handsome fella watches me put the washing on the line from the neighbour’s shed roof. He’s not in the least bit camera shy!

Hoping everyone has a good day.

Good morning from a grey and cold Essex by the sea.
I'm meeting up with a new group of ladies for a walk at 10.
Gingster my very best wishes to your daughter, I hope her appointment goes ok.
Have the best Monday you can everyone xx

Good morning all from the Black country.
Got woken very early by one spam phone call managed to get back to sleep so now I'm up late. Haven't read through so will catch up later, DH as usual slept through.
Have just seen a fox on next doors garage roof usually only see them late evening.
Best wishes anyone celebrating and virtual hugs where needed take care all and may you all find some ?
,

Aly, I'm on attempt four and only have two letters. I'm stumped!

Good morning from Durham. An icy blue sky with the half moon still visible and not a breath of wind. Had a full on weekend with DGS1 here and now DD2 has asked me to babysit DGS2 for a few hours this afternoon. I could nip into MetroCentre on the way home I suppose for some M&S edible delicacies?
Paver text last night to change his start day from today to tomorrow - mmm - we shall see! He’s good when he starts, but therein lies the problem!
Have a good day, if you’re celebrating and commiserations to those feeling poorly or under the weather.

Morning Mick and all

It is very grey here in S E Essex. I am going to go to the gym this morning, not sure what my back will allow me to do though.

I also have to pop along to a local(ish) retail park (Mayflower) to pick up an order from Boots, I might be tempted to have a mooch round Next.

Thinking of your DD Gingster a child with health issues no matter what their age is always a worry.

Happy Birthday Llamas79 ??

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Good morning from North Yorkshire. Another grey day but I will go for a walk shortly. I have letters to post and a book to pass to a friend.
Hairdressers later.
Happy birthday llamas
It took me 5 attempts to get the wordl word today.
Have a good day everyone.

Oops forgot to wish Llama99 a happy birthday; have a good day

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good Morning from a grey and misty morning in North Wales.
Happy 76th Birthday Llamas ?
I had a very lazy day yesterday must get on with my housework and walk soon.
GS seems to be a bit better now at university. He had been quite low and I do worry about him.
