Good Morning Sunday 13th February 2022

Baubles, enjoy your visit, you must be so excited!

BlueBalou, I misread your post yesterday and thought you were talking about fusion food. I would love to try glass fusion.

I have sent a text to Soop wishing her all the best today. It is a pity no visitors are allowed here, or Kalu and I would have been down the road like a shot!

Good morning all from a wet and windy Black country.
DS has now tested positive, Dgs know clear but Dil still not well.
Roast lamb for dinner.
Welcome Toby ?
Enjoy your Sunday everyone and may you all find some ?.

I have just had a text from Soop. She thanks everyone for their best wishes and asked me to advise You lot, to behave!

Good morning from North Yorkshire. Gwen has our weather spot on.
It’s still really smelly outside after all the muck spreading of the last 2 days. The tractor was going up and down all day. Perhaps the rain will settle it down. There were hundreds of seagulls about despite being 30 miles from the sea!
Sending hugs to those with poorly husbands and family members. Welcome Toby. Thinking of the soops
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning all from S Hants, very dull, rain and wind expected later.
Pleased your grandson is of lighter heart gMattie tough times.
Welcome Toby.
Bedding in the machine, I’ll be slow cooking a chicken later, no other plans.
Thoughts with the soops today.
Wishing you all a pleasant day ??

Grey and damp morning but will take myself to church. Not windy so I can risk an umbrella.

Braved driving to the park and ride to go to Bath yesterday, the first time for many months. Hideously busy and I couldn’t get either of the things I went for so I was very glad to retreat to the comparative calm of home and TV rugby, but at least I did it.

Good morning all from a very windy North Leicestershire.

Not much planned here except a stuffed turkey thigh for lunch - also around 6pm.

Thinking of soop today and MrS who must be feeling quite anxious.

Sending best either to everyone with troubles and sadness.

either wishes

Good Morning from the Scottish Borders. Grey and dull bit like me I am picking up DMiL this morning and taking her to DS for lunch. I think I will risk driving across Edinburgh as she hardly sees the city these days and it is her city.

It's so nice that you can support your GS, grandMattie .
I was given tramadol in hospital and could have become addicted. It's a heavy duty painkiller, an opioid, but also helped me sleep. DH had terrifying hallucinations when given morphine so people are affected differently.

Thanks for news of Soop Marydoll all the best to her.
Welcome Toby1932. Culross is such a pretty spot. My DS once filmed a Timewatch programme there.

Sorry your family are down with covid Monk. I hope they soon recover and I hope everyone has a lovely rest of weekend.

Thanks for the update on soop Marydoll!

soop is a much loved person by many and her very popular ‘kitchen’ thread is ongoing testimony to that. I cannot be the only one wondering why messages of support and up to date bulletins about her drift onto this thread, which is Mick’s GM one?

Surely posters interested and supportive of soop would be better placed leaving their messages in her kitchen for those who ‘know’ her and are interested in reading such messages rather than duplicating on here. Why?

Good morning from wet and windy South Yorkshire. No dog walkies for me today as grandchildren are here having stayed overnight. Himself had just been dispatched on his own... Can't say I'm too upset about that ha ha. Fairly quiet day today. Swimming lessons for dgd1 and then family back for tea later. Hope all these husbands improve today. Have a good day all x

Oh dear, well that's me told off, well and truly.

The news of Soop came onto here weeks ago which is when I first heard about her plight Urms I don't read the kitchen but friends of friends are important too.

Morning everyone and Hi Ashcombe in Torbay. I do so miss the walks in and around Torquay. We had a relation down there for a few years. Loved walking to Babbacombe along the coast walk, Anstey's Cove, out to Berry Head and the coast walk from Meadfoot to the harbour. We have stayed at the Osborne a few times. Horrible weather here in West Yorkshire. Have a good day all!

Grey and windy here in Oxfordshire, heavy rain expected today, so a wet dog walk for us. Good day yesterday, DH took GS to barbers and treated him and GD to lunch, we dropped them off and sauntered around local garden centre and bought delicious cheese and lovely veg in the shop, tomato and flower seeds also purchased, along with a boot full of compost. We grow lots of flowers to cover a large bank area alongside the house and enough tomatoes to make sauce/chutney/soup on an industrial scale. Chicken and roasties to prep for later and a quiet day expected ready for another chemo treatment day tomorrow for DD1.
Enjoy your Sunday everyone!

Good morning all from a grey W Kent. Finally taken emergency turkey out of freezer and cooking it today for DS and family. It looks huge o'h dear, glad we didn't need it at C....s. Best wishes to all.

Good morning all,
It’s a wet and windy start to the day and is forecast to be like this all day.
Thank you, Mary for posting about soop. Some of us don’t often frequent the kitchen, but know of soop, so your update is very welcome as far as I’m concerned. I didn’t think we were meant to be confined to particular threads only when posting about things ?.
Nice to see you posting here Toby. Enjoy your decorating.
A lazy day ahead, I think, other than a bit of ironing.
Take care all.

Good morning everyone from a grey and damp Northampton, not actually raining but more is forecast. So no plans to go out today.

Had a pleasant walk to and back from the garden centre yesterday, where I failed to find a good birthday card for DS. They used to have a really good selection, but was disappointing yesterday. I settled for a free coffee in the extremely busy cafe instead. Hardly anyone wearing masks around the actual store, but I kept mine on (apart from the cafe). Nearly bought a new coat in the Cotton Traders concession, but I needed the next size up,.which they didn't have.

Watched the rugby when I got back, then later enjoyed the programmes about Carole King, and caught up with some recorded programmes. Ordered a birthday card for DS online, and also a book for his present - I shall probably get him a bottle of something nice as well!

Ooh, I forgot, was very brave and actually went on air yesterday morning to solve a clue on our local radio's Treasure Quest programme. Was very nervous but it seemed to go ok.

No plans except the papers today, rugby on tv, and start my new book. I have booked to see Death on the Nile at the cinema next Sunday and like to read the book before I go.

Welcome Toby, hope you enjoy this thread.

Well done GrannySomerset small steps ?

Good Morning all , I see I’m actually in the right time zone to post here , I’m usually far too late !
It’s fairly throwing the rain down here , I have all the doors and windows open as my lovely cleaning lady is in , and she has only had one jab ! But she does do LFT as do I , but I have decamped to next door while I wait to to go back in
I’m glad to see Soop has updated us via Marydoll it’s an anxious time for all her friends on Gransnet

Good morning from a rainy NE.
Slept in this morning after family visit yesterday. GD is covid free after just over a week.
DD and SIL coming this afternoon and will stay over so that we can have wine with dinner tonight.
My thoughts are with Soop today, I know exactly what she is going through.
Enjoy your Sunday.

Good morning from another wet w/York's I have been reading but not posting to be honest nothing interesting has been happening here we are plodding between appointments only one each next week .Hope to get some decorating done soon .Have a good day everyone .

Good morning from a very rainy Yeovil in our hotel room.
