Good Morning Friday 4th February 2022

Good morning Mick and all his followers. I hope you enjoy your beers Mick but the market could be soggy. It’s rainy in Suffolk and forecast to remain so. We have a collection from Waitrose so we will shop there today. We are looking after our son’s two big dogs this afternoon while the DGC have friends to play. These two are big, boisterous and noisy so scary for small people.
I hope everyone is looking after themselves today. Take care.

Good morning all from a wet, breezy S Hants.
Sorry you’re down gMattie, thoughts with you.
Hope the tests are all fine Ash and good news from your son Gingster.
I’ll get a walk later, it’s supposed to clear up, but colder and Tesco will deliver this afternoon.
Enjoy today if you can ??

Good morning from Leicestershire, going Nordic walking this morning so hope the rain stops. I have missed a couple of weeks so can’t miss another.

Coming back to hang the new curtains in my newly decorated bedroom and then will await the new furniture.

Sorry to hear you are feeling low GrandMattie and your DH is not so good .
Wishing everyone a good day.

Good morning all from dry Harrogate it’s 4 c
Today I have a telephone ? appointment with the doc and DH has the dentist. This pm I have DGd.
geandmattie sorry you are so low,
You need to take care of you!
Good luck with you appointment Ash
My DS used to live in Dunoon,
Stillearning it’s over 40 years since we last were there. Very pretty - I expect it’s changed. DS now lives in Lochmaben. Had a zoom call to them last night, one sister in Surrey and one in Lochmaben , so I am the filling in the sandwich. In ages too, they are older and younger than me.
Have the best day possible folks!

Good morning from our corner of the S Welsh coast. I think many of you are now having the rain that we had overnight, it was so heavy that it woke me at 4am.
Hope your test go well Ash.
We are going to see our little dgd this morning, looking forward to that but not the traffic to get there.
Hope everyone will have a good day.

Have a lovely trip grandmadinosaur I bet the Strictly tour is fantastic- enjoy!

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Thank you Brook I’m sure we will. I’ve seen the tour previously and it is a fab night out.

Good morning from a damp and grey Black Country.

Joined a new walking group yesterday who walk from Baggeridge Country Park every Thursday and first Tuesday every month. It started off drizzling then the sun came out! Then onto Mums for a walk along Staffs Railway walk with her and a mooch around a charity shop along the way, hen a pub lunch.

2nd visit to the gym this morning (it was hard work Wednesday), then housework this afternoon. Fish n chips tonight, but may go out for a change rather than cooking at home.

Sorry you are not in a good place grandMattie

Wishing you all a good day.

Forgot to say. Hope your tests go well Ascombe, and the drive there is not too onerous x

Good morning from wet Wiltshire, I’m lazy this morning enjoying a coffee before getting up.
Absolutely nothing planned for today but walking DDog and a bit of tidying up.
Lovely faggots from the farm shop with chips and peas for lunch I think, or perhaps mashed potatoes?
Enjoy your day everyone x

Good morning from North Wales. Sunny here but quite chilly.
My DD invited me for afternoon tea at a hotel. Unfortunately there are two hotels with the same name, one not too far from me and the other in the city.
She had booked the one in the city and I turned up at the local one. Must read invitations carefully in future.
Sorry to hear of those who are not well today.
LauraNorderr glad your DiL is cancer free now. I have been through treatment for breast cancer and know how good it feels when you are well again.
Have a pleasant day everyone ☀️

Good morning from North Yorkshire. The sun is shining again. I hope it lasts as I have the washing on.
I need to call the IT guy this morning. My laptop won’t talk to the internet. I think it is something to do with the firewall security.
Sending a virtual hug to Mattie. Be kind to yourself today…and to everyone else too.

Good morning all from the Black country, rain has now stopped and its brightening up a bit.
Sorry your feeling low GrandMattie easy said but take care ?.
Ash hope all goes well with your appointment.
Quiet day today may decide to give the duster an airing.
Enjoy your day everyone and may you all find some ?.

As I suspected Marydoll, a higher dose of Ramipril which will hopefully prove much lower readings. ? Thank you for asking.

Good morning from a dry NE where it is a little cooler this morning. We had very heavy rain at midnight.
DS arrived mid morning yesterday, we played Scrabble and he beat me again.
After lunch DS drove us to the seafront and we walked through the park and along the promenade, I managed a lot better than I thought I would, losing ten kilos makes a difference to your stamina.
DIL and GDs did not come after school so there was quite a lot of extra food, it went home with DS.
I have the washer on and will hopefully get the ironing done too.
Thinking of all those who are sad

Morning all, got up early as my mobile hairdresser was coming today, but found a message on my phone to say she was ill, so will have to do it myself? Raining here so not much else to do, but took your advice yesterday LauraNorderr and hung out the washing, and had a cuppa and slice of lemon cake! It all dried by the way! Have a good day everyone.x

Here’s Matt.

Goodness, I’m late. I slept 10 hours solid! Sat in bed with a cup of Yorkshire Gold.

Good morning everyone from south Manchester. It’s sunny, seems chilly and it has rained during the night. We have no plans until this evening when we’ve been asked to take the Boy Wonder to his cricket club presentation event as his mum is going to a staff doo.

Right, I’ll settle back to enjoy reading all your Friday busy-ness. x

Morning all especially Gwenisgreat! We had a lovely meet up last week in Harrogate where we were visiting our DD2 and family. Came home to Staffs on Sunday with (negative) heavy head cold-thanks to 4 year old DGS. Think DH is starting with it too now! Moan! Moan!

Good morning Mick, Annie and all. It was raining hard here when I woke up, but has eased off now.
I decamped to the spare room in the early hours, as DH was snoring fit to bust. He woke me with a cup of tea, but although the bed is very comfortable, it's not 'my bed', and I am back achey.
GrandMattie, sorry to hear that you are feeling low ?? for you and a {{{hug}}}. Best wishes to your DH also.
I have a friend coming this afternoon, so no doubt there will be lots of catch up chat over cups of tea, and some of my date and walnut cake.
Have a good day one and all.

Late up after a disturbed night so need to get a move on. DS and intended coming for lunch en route to friends in Devon and then DD arriving later for the weekend to cast her beady eye over me and, I hope, decide she doesn’t need to worry.

Nice sunny morning though still cold so a toddle up to the village will be nice, but shower first and decide on what to wear. Decisions, decisions!

Good morning
I suddenly stopped receiving my daily Gransnet newsletter around Christmas time. I have tried to receive it again without any luck. Any advice please? Thank you.

Good Morning Mick and everyone from bright and sunny-ish Carlisle. We had very heavy rain and strong winds yesterday evening and night. From your posts, it seems it has moved south.
Today, a Tesco delivery late morning and a list of little jobs to do meanwhile. Possibly a walk this afternoon. I didn't get one yesterday as I was tempted out into the garden in spite of my temperamental back. All is well this morning though, my new regime of back exercises seems to be working improvements.
I have found out that the nearby lake in the country park was once a source of clay for the brick industry. I'm not surprised after seeing what I've been digging up in my garden. Below the stiff grey stony clay is a layer of solid orange stuff.

You are often in my thoughts, grandMattie. Is it not possible for you and your DH to get away somewhere for a short break away from things?
My best wishes for better times to all struggling.

Snowing here ?

Check your preferences in My Gransnet or Email GNHQ and ask them to check.

Personally, I have never bothered with it, I just look through the active list to see what catches my eye.
