Good Morning Tuesday 1st February 2022

The paintings are so new they're just blocks of colour Jax. They have a long way to go but here's the beginning of day 4: 'Two great lights.'

Good Morning everyone from a milder south coast 8.7c. I need to go to the library this morning as my books are due back today. Nothing much else planned so far.

Still waiting for an update on my sister. She has a consultation today but at almost 88 is resigned to there not being much they can do for her various health conditions. She has family near her so is not coping alone but I do worry about her as I am so far away. and can only support from a distance. Old age is not for sissies.

Hope the day is a good one for us all. (I am sure I can smell all that marmalade Mattie - lovely!)

Good morning Mick, morning all from dark and dry South Lanarkshire.

Blimey grandMattie, you’re a one woman marmalade factory.

Another busy day ahead, it seems that everyone is decluttering just now, I don’t know how we’re ever going to get through all the donations.

Have the best day possible. ??

Here’s Matt. Back in a minute.

Good morning from a dark S Hants, 9deg, balmy. I hope you enjoy this afternoon Oops and feeling better.
Can we have some pictures Alizarin please, sounds amazing.
I’ve a longer drive to do today through countryside, hope the sun’s out. Then I’ll potter tidying the greenhouse.
Enjoy your day all, thoughts with those struggling ???.

Morning Mick and all

It’s just getting light here in S E Essex.

Sar53 I hope you enjoy your walk, and it’s not too breezy.

I have The Imp today so nothing planned.

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Good morning, all, on another quiet, mild (ish) day, but with the breeze making it chilly.

Having exercised at “Move It or Lose It” each Monday, I always sleep more soundly. It’s enjoyable, both for the exercise and the company (including the teacher, previously a professional dancer and magician!) and something which left a gap in my life when it couldn’t run during lockdowns.

An email received from the planning department yesterday was pleasing. Major work has been going on next door since last Summer to convert a house into flats. Before Christmas, we were notified of a modification to add a storey to one part, to which a few of us sent objections, mainly on the grounds of it being intrusive and out of keeping with the area, which is on the edge of a conservation area. The plans have been refused!

Your painting proposals sound challenging, Alizarin, but inspirational. Wow! Lucky you, Scentia, with those tickets. I wonder what’s on the programme. I hope you feel better today, Oopsadaisy1, in time to enjoy the birthday tea. Take care of your foot, grandMattie; you’re such a busy person and I admire your energy! It’s great finding the unexpected in the freezer, Beechnut, as long as they’re surprises rather than shocks!

Kind thoughts to those facing challenges in whatever circumstances. Tomorrow will dawn brighter. ????

Good morning from Essex by the sea where it doesn't feel as cold as of late.
I'm off out with my new walking group this morning, lots of steps and lots of chatting.
Enjoy Tuesday whatever you are doing xx

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it is raining ☔️
Off on Nanna duties shortly, DGS still has an upset tummy, that is a week now on and off. DD will call the doctors today.
A late Christmas present from DD and DSiL turned up yesterday. It is tickets to the Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. Really good seats too. Such a surprise❤️
Take care everyone and stay dry and upright.

Good morning from a mild, cloudy south Cornwall. Coffee in the next door cafe today with a guy from our diocese who will be able to decide where 18' of paintings can eventually go. Days 1 and 2 of the Creation are the biggest challenge. I have now borrowed 16 library books as reference, the max I'm allowed. I order them in from the libraries across Cornwall. It's a marvellous service. Have the best day you can.

Good morning everyone from a dark (but sky is filled with stars so maybe it’s frosty and will be a sunny day?) Oxfordshire.
Not been too good the last few days, so we will see how today goes.
MissOops birthday today so hope to go over later this afternoon for her birthday tea.
Have a good day everyone.

Oh, and ????

Good Morning and pinch punch everyone. It’s dark and dry on Severnside.

Sunset is starting to make a difference. It was still light when my brother dropped by last night. He’s a joy to be with, so quick witted and never fails to make me laugh.

A normal Tuesday for me with homemade broccoli and Stilton soup on my menu. I’m steadily working my way through the freezer.

Have a good day all ??

Lawdy grandMattie you’re the most prolific pot filler I know!

I made a panful of ? chilli ? jam yesterday and it only filled 3 jars so I won’t be giving any away (Mr PG will be pleased....?)

Good morning Mick and all who follow - fabulous February is here with Valentine’s Day to cheer me up ?? (I’m with EV on January being the Longest&Worst as we have no family events to celebrate and post Christmas always feels flat...)

A lovely afternoon tea ☕️ ?with DD to look forward to followed by a fillum - Belfast, which appears to have good reviews.

I’m sure sorting out that service will settle you GS - another task in the long road you’re travelling ?. Hope Gwen is feeling better and anyone else battling ill health at the moment- it’s wearing isn’t it?

Will pop back later and see who’s doing what - so many missing posters although I noticed grandmafrench popped in and Ginny42 posted on another thread - ??

Good morning from a still dark, dry, chilly E Kent.
The boiler clock was changed yesterday by a very nice chap from the local plumber. He normally services the boiler, and does central heating repairs. Guess what? The clock doesn’t work…. Back to square 1!
I made a few (38) pots of cranberry and Seville marmalade.
T’ai chi this morning. Hope my poor foot can cope. Shopping in the afternoon and preparing the last 4kg of oranges.
Have a gentle day, with all bothers banished. Carpe diem. ????☀️☀️?
