Good Morning Wednesday 2nd February 2022

Good Morning from the Southside of Glasgow where it is still dark but not too cold I think.
I rarely post on here but today I feel bereft having had to say goodbye yesterday to my darling Border Terrier, aged 15 years 9 months. No words to describe how I feel although I know she couldn't continue and many of you will have gone through this. A new way of living now.

Good morning everyone, I have no idea what the weather is like this morning!
My neck is very painful this morning, no idea why. I have decent pillow(s) so I presume I must have slept awkwardly or something. Drat!
I had a lovely couple of hours with my crafting friends yesterday, there’s 7 of us and a lot of nattering goes on, just what I need. I have been given a couple of recommendations for local decorators so I must get my head together and start planning in more detail what I would like done!
I hope to finish crocheting a blanket today then I won’t have any excuses for not getting on with the yoke of the baby cardigan ?
Hope you all have a good day ?

Good.morning from me in my Dry Robe with a mug of freshly brewed coffee, on my mild, dark south Cornwall patio. A little light is beginning to reflect on my garden mirrors. The gulls are surprisingly silent. Must visit my allotment today and see if my broad beans have sprouted. Have a good day.

Good Morning everyone from a warm Severnside. I think I woke up when I did because I was too warm.

Some of those flamingoes look like they are looking for someone ?*Ash*.

I might clean the dining room today and I will do some more on my beading project.

On getting dressed yesterday I put on my vest and then thought about what came next and realised I had put on my T-shirt first. I laughed and as I wasn’t going anywhere I left it for the day.

I’m expecting a parcel today and will have a FaceTime with Beechnutella who has already told me they have been pinged.

Will Dollie be a bridesmaid at your son’s wedding Marydoll?

Have a good day all ??

Good Morning fellow early birds and all who follow from a 7.2c south coast. The forecast is mild, sunny but windy today. Our snowdrops and crocus are up and showing their pretty faces and the myriad of other bulbs we have are well grown and ready to show theirs quite soon. LOVE spring!

My sister's appt. was inconclusive yesterday but she has been referred to a cardiologist so that may shed some light on the episode she suffered. Meanwhile, she soldiers on with her usual grit and positivity. Thank you for asking my GN friends!

DH is leading a group of his bike club chums out for a full day in the South Downs today, so I have an empty and am looking forward to catching up with all the things I prefer to do when he is not "supervising". I still can't quite believe that he is back to such a fitness level after the surgeries and serious illness he suffered through from 2020. Feel blessed and very grateful.

Hope the day is a good one for us all.

Thank you, Ash, and thank your GD from us. Curiously, Iris is quite bewildered by this admiration for her and rather embarrassed that she should be our little totem! ❤️

Good morning, all, from a still, dry Torbay.

My DGD, aged nine, loves flamingoes and sent me this photo from this week's issue of My Week Junior. When I told her about their significance here, including how it began with grandMattie’s DGD2, Iris, and the Lego, she texted,

“It will be nice knowing I have done something to make people think about the girl.”

Given their current plight (housebound due to Covid), I wanted to share this story.

So, a flamboyance of flamingoes to you all! ????????

Good morning from a dark, grey E Kent. No rain, very windy.
Hoeing your ear now, Mick? And I too have noticed budding, especially on my new little Magnolia stellata which I put in last year.
The new boiler clock wasn’t working but the engineer came in yesterday to fix it. Result!
Since Saturday, our landline phone was making a horrible crackling sound. It was almost impossible to hear anything. Given that Mr. gM’s go to, is to leave things in the hope they will either go away or fix themselves, on Monday I took it upon myself to get help. I went to the BT website, had a robot check the line, got told that the fault was in the line itself and would be fixed on Thursday. Imagine our surprise, when at lunchtime, a good looking young man turned up to sort our phone line. Poor thing had to climb a post just outside the house to fix it in under an hour. Job done!
An afternoon cream tea sent to CV19 ridden DD and family did the job, cheered them up no end.
Today, laundry, marmalade - no more after today , I promise.
Don’t know what to cook for dinner since DH has confessed that one of the few things he looks forward to is his food. I try to make things interesting and different, with few weekly repetitions. I got a guinea fowl for Sunday roast when shopping yesterday.
Anyway, enough of my ramblings. Be kind to yourselves everyone . Carpe diem. ?????
