Good Morning Thursday 3rd February 2022

Here’s Matt.

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s mild with a sky of pale blue. I can see the Pennine Ridge.

I’ve been chatting to our Yorkshire Lass who had me on speaker phone as she drove along a quiet stretch of motorway on her way to the school for deaf children. Thursday is her favourite workday in speech and language she said. The children are a delight and she herself is learning to sign.

I’m making the SOAP dish later for our family of four up the road and later, Himself and I are collecting the smalls from school, giving them a quick tea and then off to their swimming lessons. L’il Miss was moved up a group last week she’s a confident little fish in water!

Enjoy Thursday all who can. I’m going to read your posts now. x

Good morning from a dry corner of the S Welsh coast.
Cleaner coming this morning and a Sainsbury's delivery this afternoon.
I love skate Gingster, had to order some from the fish man last week but worth the wait.
Excellent news about your daughter LauraNorderr .
Hope Susan and family are alright?
Have as good a day as you can.

Good morning from Essex by the sea where it is dry but cloudy and warmer.
DH has gone to clean his boat, it is going up for sale and pictures are being taken tomorrow..
He will be back by 12 as our car is being valeted. It is disgustingly dirty inside and out and I am looking forward to having a clean car again.
This afternoon I will be supermarket shopping, the fridge is looking very bare.
Lovely new from Laura, what a relief for your daughter and the rest of the family.
I hope your family get well soon GG and anyone else who has family members with Covid.
Enjoy Thursday everyone xx

Good morning from North Yorkshire. Another dry day here.
I’m off walking on the edge of the moors with a friend today. It will be good to have a change of scenery.
GrandMattie you are such a busy person. I hope the discussion goes well.
Delighted with your news Laura.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning all from a mild Black country.
DS &DiL having a date day today, so we will pick the the boys up later from child minder &school bring them back to ours for tea.
Nothing else planned.
Enjoy your Thursday and may you all find some ?.

I really smiled at Matt this morning Urms especially when I was waiting for North West News and it came up as BBC London.

Good morning Mick and All.

As usual it's a bit dull here in N. Warwickshire but most days this last week have turned out sunny so I have hopes.

When I woke, after a very broken night, at 7:30 it was too warm! I had to turn off the heating.

This is an unusual problem to get on a narrow boat in winter.

Nothing in prospect today so I'm off back to bed to get some sleep.

Best wishes to all.

Good morning from a mild and sunny Sefton coast.
Not as busy as grandMattie by any means, human whirlwind that she is, we’re on GP duty this afternoon. Happy days.
Whatever you have planned or comes your way, may it include a smile.

Good morning Mick and everyone from cloudy, damp-looking Carlisle. I went into town for my hair appointment yesterday and today I'm looking much improved..in my opinion! I can stop scowling at myself in the mirror for a while.
Another bush planted yesterday afternoon and a lot of time spent reading a thriller DS2 left behind for the charity shop.
Today, the ironing beckons and possibly a walk though the dark clouds are gathering at the moment.
Great news for you and your family, LauraNorderr. I'm wishing it for all others poorly at the moment.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning from the NE where it dry and 8 degrees.
Busy day yesterday, grocery shopping in the morning and Optician's appointment in the afternoon. I told SIL I would be about 45 minutes but it took 2 hours. They had to repeat some of the tests and trying to decide on glasses was a bit of a faff but we got there in the end.
DS coming today so I must prepare to be beaten at Scrabble again.
Pleased some of you have good news to share.
Hope those with worries have an easier day.

Good morning all,
Well, the brief spell of sunshine has now disappeared. At least it doesn’t feel as cold again, though that’s forecast to change for tomorrow.
Pilates class shortly, then I’ve a few outdoor jobs to do.
Hope those of you with illness and/or worries have a better day today. Take care.

Good morning all from dry, chilly Harrogate
I’ve got a Sainsburies delivery this morning but haven’t had any confirmation from them. I am swithering whether to stay with them the last few weeks they have missed out the amendments made well before the deadline. They said I should phone the amendments in, but that takes hours.
I would if necessary go back to ASDA but they give the most unfortunate substitutes.
The man has now come to service the boiler, next will be the delivery.
Yesterday went into town to get some yarn for my DD who has started doing crochet, self taught as was I. She has been more ambitious than I ever was.
Can’t think now, I have a dog barking in my ear, it will stop when the plumber has gone and the deliveries delivered!
Have the best day you can folks!

Morning from S Lanarkshire, doesn’t look promising out there.

A home day today, I’m off to Dunoon tomorrow (wind and ferries permitting) for a long weekend with lovely sister and brother in law, and the house needs attention so I can enjoy my return!

I was really delighted to see your wonderful news LauraNorderr, prayers continue for the others for a similar outcome.

Wishing everyone a good day???

Good morning all from a damp Glasgow

DD1 is on her way to join me for coffee and a blether, well, she does most of the talking and we are good listeners!

Practice nurse phoning at 10.30 then dentist at 12.30 will be a busy morning for me.

Wishing everyone a good day.

Good luck Kalu. Did you see the Glasgow meet up thread?

Good morning all from W Kent, grey but lightening up a bit.
Off to art group not sure what to paint.
Best wishes to all

Good morning all from a cloudy northwest coast.
Funeral of a very distinguished friend of the family this morning after annual check up at docs, it’s a clash, so hope I’m in good time, Otherwise will watch it online as it will be packed out.
Heard scuffling down the side of the house early on, thought it was next door, but it’s my painter. It gets me going as he’s an early starter (and I’m not).
The young gifted classical musicians gave a fine recital yesterday, so young, my friend said ‘I was playing with my Lego at that age” as we listened to a you g thing playing the cello. Then we chatted outside for so long he suggested a coffee and amazingly our department store has reopened with a cosy coffee bar, new to me. My friend could talk the hind leg off a donkey and I had to dash for my bus later. It’s the only day I take the bus, handy for the recitals.
Hope you have a good day and thoughts to the troubled.

Good morning from Derbyshire. It's cloudy but starting to brighten up.

My friend is coming over this morning after a work meeting and we're going for a coffee and, no doubt, some late breakfast or cake. I shouldn't, but can't resist!

We'll go a walk out later and then plan the week's meals before I go shopping tomorrow.

Have a good Thursday all.

Sitting room curtain pole has come adrift and am not sure who to ask for help. Our lovely local handyman has retired and I so miss him for jobs like this.

Other than trying to sort that out and a friend coming for a cup of tea later I have no plans. I am altogether too good at not doing much and need to rediscover some get up and go.

At least the weather is promising and should be sunny and fair.

Back to grey skies and light drizzle in Oxfordshire today. So wonderful to hear of the joyous news from LauraNorder it made my heart soar for her DiL, and the whole family. We are just at the start of the cancer journey with DD1, but LauraNorder has been such support to me, as have others; and I thank you all.
Hoping your Thursday is joyful! Sending in place of the real one which is absent today!

Good morning Mick and everyone. I’m having a slow and lazy morning after rushing around yesterday. It’s grey but dry here, currently 8°C. Mr. B is pottering about in the garden, I’m surfing the net . I will shift my lazy bones and go for a walk later.

Good morning Mick and all from another sunny, blue sky day on the Isle of Anglesey. Snowdrops in all the hedgerows and even a few early daffodils have opened there cheery heads to tell us that spring and hope is on the way.
Thanks for so much kindness from you all in sharing our good news yesterday.
Thank you for kind words Chrissielou I’ve only given a little of what I’ve received and I’m sure you’ll do the same when others are in need.
I hope your poorly daughter-in-law recovers soon GrannyGravy and that your son doesn’t suffer too much now that he has succumbed.
Fingers very much crossed for others with covid and for negative tests for those who are vulnerable and have had contact with this horrid virus.
A lot of money in the hands of the young and inexperienced can be a worry grandMattie, it’s good that your grandson has you and his mum working together in his best interest.
Thinking of you GrannySomerset, so much to get through.
You too Harrigran and you really need to up your game and beat your son at scrabble just once ?.
Wishing you all a day of quiet pleasure or rowdy fun whatever your preference.
?????
PS Missing your photos Alygran, they always cheer me.

Daffodils opening their cheery heads. Don’t know if it was me or my phone but now corrected.

Thanks Marydoll. Off to,look at the Glasgow meet up thread.
