Good Morning Sunday 6th February 2022

Really good news kali2 so pleased for you.. I hope you enjoy your lunch in Montreux, my DS lived there for a couple of years but has now moved to Basel. I miss Montreux though especially walking along the promenade which was so beautiful - enjoy!

Wild and windy but with a little sunshine here today. Very late as I've been cooking and baking and prepping the roast for later. Thank you so much Ashcombe it is so kind of you to comment and remember, we had a lovely coffee meet up for my boys' birthdays, DGC too, lovely to be together. My DD1 was happy to be with her brothers and hold her baby nephew, I think this awful time has made us even closer as a family. Feel a bit emotionally wobbly today but need to give myself a shake.
Hope you all enjoy your Sunday.

Great news re. scope results kali2. Give them hell tomorrow EV, it’s disgraceful you’ve been without heat all weekend.

After experiencing extremely strong winds when out in Northumberland yesterday I have decided against going out today. . I felt exhausted ????fighting my way back home through gusts that almost flattened me ???So it’s tidying and cleaning for me today and may be a bit of TV this evening.
Hope everyone has a lovely day.

Good morning Mick and everybody. It’s cloudy and dry in my corner of Lancashire this morning, currently 7°C.

The forecast is for occasional light showers only, but after yesterday’s unexpected storm I will see how it goes before making a decision about my walk. The wind was so fierce I had to hold on to the railings a few times and the rain was like icy needles.

I love the bag Grandmattie

Wishing you all the best possible day. May all those with worries find some comfort and all who are under the weather find some relief ??

? Kali2

Kali that sounds lovely. Especially with your health good news too.

In fact now and again I ask myself what happened to 2020 ? It feels to be a missed-out year

Totally agree EV
I always refer to 2020 as ‘Covid Year’. It cut a wedge out of everyone’s lives didn’t it? It was a truly frightening time.

We didn’t know where it came from, how it was transmitted (some folk washed their groceries and left letters lying on the mat for several days before opening them - even then wearing plastic gloves) and we had no vaccines to hand that year.

A truly anxious time for many.

Morning Mick and all

Windy, rain and grey here in S E Essex

Roast Chicken for dinner, I will now read all your posts.

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Morning from Dunoon where the rain has been constant since I arrived on Friday. We’ve only managed a very short walk yesterday but I’m still having a lovely time. Lots of chat, reading and eating, I really enjoy my stays here.
DBiL has a fascinating book ‘Phrases and Sayings’ giving the origins of all our often used quotations. Who knew that one of the reasons we say ‘Calamity Jane’ was that 11 of her12 husbands died untimely deaths! Not to mention the rest of her catastrophes.

Off to mass soon and later I am treating us to lunch out.

Wishing you all a good Sunday???

Good Morning All x.
Very stormy this morning, it's only the strong wind that's keeping the rain away. Been outside to feed old Tom but it doesn't appear to feel too cold---thank goodness !
I put the electric fire on at teatime yesterday as it felt a bit parky, but I think part of that was due to me wallowing because of the gas situation----it'll turn to anger tomorrow IF anyone calls ! He'll be sorry

DearAshcombe ,you think of everyone, such a lovely kind person. It doesn't go unnoticed.

Good job I have the daily Matt to give me a smile. I did laugh at this morning's Urms.
I also enjoyed watching the young Japanese figure skating earlier, he was absolutely amazing at only 18. A star.

Chicken's i'thoven, so that's my dinner today with all the trimmings of course. My mum used to say, "whatever's going on our EV can always eat " She'd be tickled pink right now.

Lovely to hear of theatre visits and general outings as at least "hope springs eternal " for the rest of the year, a change from the last couple of years. In fact now and again I ask myself what happened to 2020 ? It feels to be a missed-out year.

I forgot to put the bathroom heater on for a shower so it'll have to be a kettle of water for a wash, never mind it's not the end of the world. I'll just stand under the shower next week, for spite .

I hope you'll all enjoy your day, stay safe and well xx

Good morning from a windy, wet NE.
DS and family didn't come yesterday, youngest GD has covid. DD, SIL and I did tests which were negative.
Quiet day today, too cold to go out walking.
Take care.

Morning Mick, morning All. A slow start hiding from a very windy and damp corner of Somerset.

Today I will finish the admin backlog - gave up yesterday, it was hurting my head. A roast later to ponder. Mr C will iron then tackle his latest jigsaw. I like to wander past when there are just half a dozen pieces left and ‘help’

Safe travels to all out and about, a hope poorly families are on the mend soon and a hug for anyone feeling sad.

Hope Sunday is kind to us all. .

Good morning from the Scottish Borders. The sun is shining and no sign of the snow we've been promised.

Riverwalk I wondered if Good Morningers were becoming very interested in the Royals all of a sudden.

I should go out and get in food supplies for the family in case they call by this afternoon. It will also make me get out of this chair. Service on zoom and then I must get on with my "list" of jobs to do.
My DBiL was famous for procrastination but I think that honour has been bestowed on me.
Lovely bag grandMattie.
Have as good a day as you can everybody.

Good morning- a bit grey today, and off to have lunch with my big bro in Montreux, and then off to the 4 Vallées in the Alps.

My knee which I hurt badly falling last week has recovered well, temperature and headache from booster gone, and no discomfort and great results from coloscopy and endoscopy!! What a 10 days it has been... Onwards

Good morning all from the Black country, rain just beginning to clear.
Just had phone call from DS eldest Dgs6 has tested positive we were with them Friday so now its wait and see time.
Welcome to the newbies ?.
Enjoy your Sunday everyone and may you all find some ?.

Why didn’t I think of that Mary?
I’ve just fried my brain doing Nerdle!
Harris hope you feel better soon. ?

It works if your brain is sharp, Aly. I often get so muddled, I make a mess of it!

Off to try French Wordle, my brain will certainly be fried. The Italian one is much easier!
Buona giornata a tutti.

Did it in 3 but took some pondering!
We lived in Italy for a short while when I was little but my Italian has deserted me! (But I did understand your last line)

Love the bag GM. Is it cotton?

100% cotton on unbleached calico therefore 100% washable too!

Good morning all from East Yorkshire. I’m back home now and it’s a bright day after the awful rain in Salford yesterday. Didn’t deter us though and sought refuge in a bar at lunch for wine and nibbles to while away the time.

A tidy round here this morning then out for lunch with DS and family. It is his 34th birthday today. How did that happen! He was born on a memorable day the day HM the Queen ascended the throne.

Will catch up with posts later.
Take care everyone.

Good morning Mick and everyone from bright but showery Carlisle. It's a distinct improvement on yesterday which was wild and windy with heavy rain seemingly nonstop. I went nowhere, didn't even poke my head out of the door. After sorting out minor jobs, I was mostly in front of the computer or reading. Except for a burst of activity mid-afternoon when I followed a streamed exercise class. It was one I used to do regularly until I was somewhat unwell last year. I took it at a gentler pace than the onscreen participants but I'm planning/hoping to get up to speed eventually. Getting older is not an excuse!
Today? Depends on the weather...a bit of gardening or a walk later possibly, otherwise a day of frustration indoors because I can't get out.
Harris, my DS2 thinks it not a case of if you get covid but when. I hope he's wrong but there's consistently a lot of it about on this thread alone. I hope you're feeling better soon.
And the best possible Sunday to all.

Well doing first day of isolation after testing positive yesterday. Have dodged this through going nowhere and doing nothing for two years but I work with children and it’s finally caught up with me. Have the usual symptoms and awful sore throat and headaches a week off and I’ll be back I hope fit to fight another day. Will try and see the positive side and get some reading done and pray for the time I can see my son again.

Aly, you can have the GM threads open in two tabs at the same time. Read one and comment on the other!
