Good Morning Sunday 6th February 2022

Good morning all from bright but breezy Harrogate.
No didn’t find hearing aid Ash Will phone the blood test department tomorrow to see if it was found. Problem is it very different from the conventional hearing aid, and not many people will recognise it as anything but a funny bit of plastic. I shall have to gear myself up for a trip to the hospital in York and a telling off!
GrandMattie the bag is lovely, I hope you are feeling better again. Dgs is not well, hoping he is well enough to come here this pm, but it could be COVID so have to ca’ canny!
Have the best day you can folks!

Good morning Auntyflo and all

Good morning from North Yorkshire. Another dry day with some blue sky about. We had a very heavy short rainstorm yesterday evening.
This morning I am off to ‘Bubbles and Bonbons’ in our village hall to celebrate the accession. A lovely chance to meet up.
We have been asked to bring along some 50’s memorabilia so I have been looking though my parents bits and pieces. I have my mum’s ration book and both their identity cards, some wedding photos (they married in 1950), a programme for the Coronation and guides for the 1951 festival of Britain and Madame Tussaud’s. I also found a few coins.
Ash you are amazing remembering so many people! If I go back and forward I will lose my post so I will wish happy holidays to the travellers to Suffolk and a good day to you all.

Good morning all from our corner of the S Welsh coast. A dry but cold day yesterday and a very wet night. We took the little dog for a long walk, he then slept all afternoon in front of the fire.
I hope your covid family members recover soon Beauregard.
Have a good holiday Sar and kitty.
Cottage pie and roast vegetables on the menu here.
Hope that Sunday is kind to us all.

Good morning from a rainy Black Country!

Not a lot to report, just housework yesterday and curry for dinner. Saturday evening we make a special effort for our meal, candles etc and dress up!

Spent sometime yesterday with laptop as it won’t connect to internet! It is 6 years old , so perhaps a new one is due?

May call my friend who lives nearby today, as she lives on her own as her DH died in 2004 (only 49), and see if she fancies a walk.

Welcome to all our new posters

Good morning all from a very blustery and wet Glasgow, where it is only 3°C.

Ash, thank you. My frustration was mainly about not being able to prove that I had my First Primary vaccine, I couldn't get anyone to believe me.
I know the situation will resolve itself, just not at my speed!

Today, I shall be having a very quiet day, apart from packing for the hen do tomorrow. We are having a murder mystery evening tomorrow and DD is looking to borrow a wrap ( she is a Hollywood movie star) and my swimming costume. ( the house has a pool, but my body is not for public display ) As usual I have been procrastinating, because I am little apprehensive about going , but everyone will do lateral flows and I can't stay incarcerated for ever!

My wee Dollie did indeed come to church last night, helped us to close up and tidy the church. She thinks she has now a permanent position. She is such a tonic. ?
A bit of a joker and wanting to shock me, she told me she had been sent to the headteacher.?. She had actually won the star writer award, she has my genes! ? # veryproudgran.

We had a bit of a laugh at the beginning of Mass. MrMD nudged me to say the priest was gesticulating at me, everyone was looking, but I was in a dwam. He had tried to attract the attention of the duty sacristan, but she too, was oblivious. How could neither of us not notice the main lights weren't on! ? It was really quite dim in the church.
I made such a racket trying to get out to go and put them on, as I fell over DH's feet and my walking stick. Such a noticebox, as we used to say in school. An very noisy way of letting people know that I am back in public life! ?

Praying for a gentle day for those in the sick bay and all who support them. So glad to hear Maria's wee grandson is making progress.
Finally, I want to thank some grans who don't post on here, who sent PMs. Their kindness gave me such a lift. Thats the best thing about GN!

Ooh, sorry wrong thread! Good morning everyone!

Not 4am... i mean woke at 5am ( pressed wrong number)

Being the wife of a British king she was always going to be queen - talk of being princess consort was a sop to public opinion in the early days when there was much hostility.

Just as when various members of the royal family separated but announce there are no plans to divorce - they did that with Charles, Anne and Andrew. They have to break it gently to the public!

Good morning everyone from a windy Yorkshire. Not as windy as lastnight whoaaa i thought the house would be uprooted and swung through the air.

Well i woke up at 5am with that little boy in Morocco on my mind ( he fell 100ft down a shaft ) he was rescued lastnight, i cried with joy at this, then i had him on mind all night. Woke at 4am to read that the poor little mite has died.

Good morning Mick, morning all from South Lanarkshire where it’s trying to snow.

Yesterday was dreadful for sales in the shop. The heavy rain hardly let up at all and we’re in a pedestrian area which was devoid of pedestrians the entire day. Didn’t even cover our costs.

I was home late last night from childminding for DD’s littlest one whilst the rest of the family were out at the Strictly Come Dancing show. It was such a joy to see the three girls burst through the door in a mass of sequins and glitter on their return. I hadn’t seen them in an age due to covid and the eldest launched herself at me, wrapping her arms tightly around me for such a long time, she took my breath away.

Church at 11 then a day of sorting and tidying with a bit of admin thrown in.

I’m going back to read the thread properly now.

Have a peaceful Sunday everyone. ??

Good morning from as kitty says a wet and windy Leicestershire.

Sitting up in bed admiring my new curtains which took some getting up yesterday. I have two windows so 4 curtains plus blackout linings one of which proved to be faulty.
Now awaiting the new glossy furniture!

That is a lovely bag Mattie. Your family are so lucky to have you - you are so talented.

We have a friend dropping in for ☕️ this afternoon who we haven’t seen for years.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Everyone - the offer still stands!

Here’s Matt.

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s raining, with grey and white cloud cover and the bare trees are bending in the wind. Brr! A proper winter’s day in fact.

My stepfather will be joining us for a Sunday lunch of roast gammon, cauliflower cheese and roast potatoes. The plates will need a touch of colour (thinks she artfully) so will be accompanied by peas. Or sweetheart cabbage. I will let Himself choose that way he’ll feel manly and consulted.

Kettle’s boiled so I’m making my own tea. Yesterday’s rugby watching of two games must have tired him out!

? to Ning74 with two new granddaughters - just like buses eh? Not a sign of one then two turn up together. And ? to you too Heatherbee it’s nice to have you join us.

Oh Sar - I hadn’t seen your post re you going to Suffolk too.
Let me know where you’re going! Have a nice break away. ?

Good morning from a wet and windy Colchester.
I got a bit of gardening done yesterday in preparation for the rain that started last night. Today will be an indoors day with roast pork later.
Love to all ? x

Good morning all and it’s wet and windy here in Essex. My garden table has blown over and isn’t where it should be.?

Ash you are such a dear, remembering and commenting on everyone’s ‘doings’. ❤️. It’s lovely when you see your name mentioned. ?

Kittylester - I hope you have a lovely time on the Suffolk Coast. Perhaps you will be near our cottage ? ?. We hope to go up for half term next week, as DD hopefully won’t need us . We haven’t been up since the beginning of November, which is a long absence for us. I expect the garden will need a lot of attention and it will be good to check up on everything. Being right by the sea, anything could happen ?. Although our kindly neighbour keeps an eye for us.

GM - the tote bag is lovely.

Nothing on for us today ?. Read the papers, book club offering ? and crosswords for me. Dh and I both enjoy the Winter Olympics so that will be on too. . Gammon for a late afternoon meal.

Wishing you all a good Sunday. Keep cosy and safe. ???

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 3° and feels cold. Windy and wet again today, by the looks of it. Kittylester and Sar have a nice holiday. I hope your family feel better soon Beauregard.
Yesterday was housework day. Got everything done and made a big pot of lentil soup as well. I'll put some in the freezer. I finished the zombie series from Korea that I've been binging so I'll have to find something new to watch.
Today I have nothing planned. I don't expect to see family so it'll be a solitary day. I don't mind that as I'm happy with my own company. Dinner will be gammon. Have a good day all.

Don't think the rain has stopped here in Cheshire since yesterday morning !
Youngest GD's birthday today. She is 7 . A lovely age. Will be heading round later with tacky Barbie Mermaid doll that she requested !

Goodness, thought I would be way down the list as well!

Good morning everyone from a very wet Northampton. A busy day ahead as I am off to London to see yet another musical! It was a Christmas present from DS and family, they also gave the same to DD. There are 5 of us going: DD, DD-out-law, elder DGD and one of her friends, and me. We are going to see a musical based on Pride and Prejudice. Lunch will be taken before the show.

I very much enjoyed Hairspray yesterday, but found some of the dialogue difficult to follow because of the strong American accent. I was glad I'd read a brief outline of the story beforehand. However the music and dancing were outstanding, and a packed house added to the atmosphere. (As did a glass of Prosecco!) Imagine my surprise to find that DD-out-law and elder DGD were also in the audience!

Well, must get my skates on as we are off on a mid-morning train. Wishing all a good day

Good morning from a damp and windy Essex by the sea.
DH is going to rugby with his grandsons this morning then football and rugby to watch later.
I shall be packing for our trip away tomorrow. Like Kitty we are going to Suffolk for a few days. I'm looking forward to someone else doing the cooking.
Enjoy Sunday whatever you may be doing xx

Enjoy the seaside kitty.

Good morning all from a windy, wet S Hants, no snow here unfortunately.
A day of sport on the TV yesterday, Kidderminster were superb, such a shame. We did go for a walk, the wind was keen though.
More sport, a walk and washing today, beef and squash curry for dinner.
Enjoy your day, thoughts with those struggling ??.

Good morning all from a wet and windy North Leicestershire.

Getting going early as we are off to the Suffolk seaside as soon as we are packed. The plan is to stop for breakfast about 10 miles down the road and then have a cream tea, in our room, while dh watched his team play the team his brother supports! I will watch the sea!

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where we’ve had a bit more snow overnight and it’s still snowing now ⛄️ It’s forecast to be mild tomorrow though so it won’t last long
Hope you’re feeling better soon oops
Yesterday we braved the weather and enjoyed a walk by the river in town, I’m not sure what we’re doing today yet.
Sorry to hear your SiL and DGD have covid beauregard, hope they recover quickly
Hope everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care all whatever the day brings ?
