Good Morning Sunday 13th February 2022

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?

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

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

Thanks for the update on soop Marydoll!

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.

either wishes

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.

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 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 ??

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

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.

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 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 ?.

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 Mick and everyone from a dull and very damp Hull. It’s breezy.
Hello Toby1932 pleased your are on here I said hello to you the other day when you joined GN.
GMattie and Multicoloured you have such a lot going on I’m thinking of you. Gagagran you did make me laugh with your DH names.
Today we have friends over to see us. DH is making a white choc gluten free cheesecake and I’m making a gf banana cake it’s a John Barrowman recipe from his life and it’s yum especially warm with butter. Enjoy your lovely roast dinners and reunions with family members. Happy Sunday ??

Good morning all from our corner of a very wet S Welsh coast. We had a dry day yesterday despite the predicted rain and took the dog for a walk along a near deserted beach.
Our little granddaughter had her first outing in the buggy, her parents took her for a walk and they stopped for a coffee. Apparently she was awake but quiet throughout.
I did some chores yesterday so a quiet day is on the cards here.
Welcome to the thread Toby.
Roast loin of pork for Sunday 'dinner', we eat about six.
Hope that Sunday is kind to us all.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's 7°. Lots of grey skies above though so I expect it'll be wet soon.
Welcome Toby. You're just down the road from me in Culross. I love the houses there. Marydoll good luck with your fourth vaccination. Like many of you,I'm thinking of Soop especially today.
Yesterday was housework day and I didn't do much as I wasn't feeling great for various reasons. Today I will put a steak casserole in the slow cooker. I have some admin to take care of. I used to be terrible at keeping up to date with things but I have got much better now I'm retired. I wanted to do some work in the garden but it doesn't look like today will be the day for working outside. There might be a visit from dd and the boys later to look forward to. I hope you have a good Sunday.

Good morning from Durham. As yet it’s dry, still and not too cold. A day of absolutely nothingness for me today and I’m looking forward to it. A friend rang yesterday to say she’s had a slight stroke, which shocked me. I seem to have had a busy, quite stressful week and need a day to myself to recharge my battery.
Hope everyone makes the best of the day on offer.
Thinking of Soop today.

Good morning all, haven't a clue about the weather here in Glasgow.
Welcome, Toby, Culross is a beautiful place for a walk!

So many worries about husband's and families.
Multi, I hadn't realised your husband was still in hospital, that has been a very long and arduous journey.
GM, I can empathise with your DH, I couldn't tolerate Tramadol at all and went through a plethora of very strong painkillers, before finding something which took the edge off my pain and didn't have major side effects..
Urms suggestion about phoning 111 is a wise one.

I'm off to get my fourth vaccination this morning. After the debacle regarding my vaccination status, I am bringing an assortment of letters, to prove I am definitely entitled to it.
My hacking cough is back, so I shall do an LFT, just in case staff thing I am infectious!

Have a good Sunday, everyone!

Good morning from Cheshire where it's very wet. Friends coming round this afternoon for a meal that should have taken place on New Year's Day. Most of the prep done so not stressed.
Welcome to Toby and thinking of"Soop* on this day of her operation

Morning Mick and all

Yep Gingster the weather is looking pretty grim in our part of the world today.

I should do some laundry and general pottering, then I want to watch the rugby (especially after my encounter with the English team this week)

Roast pork for dinner this evening.

grandMattie I do believe some men become stubborn with age, and have an aversion to any help or suggestions offered.

Keep safe and well folks ??‍♀️

Good morning Mick, morning all from cloudy South Lanarkshire. I think rain is forecast yet again.

Sorry to hear of the unwell husbands of gMattie and multicolouredss.

Welcome to Gransnet Toby.

My DGS had a birthday a few days ago so we’re going to visit this afternoon as is my DS and his family. It’s been a long time since we were all together due to our Christmas plans being scuppered by covid.

Wishing everyone a peaceful Sunday.

Good morning from grey, cold but dry Colchester. The rain is due later and the wind chill will make ten feel like zero.
I am on the couch with a six year old who is describing every move on his computer game to me. I am nodding obligingly but don't understand a word.
The older boys, DH and DGS1 are still in bed.
The children are off before lunch as it's sonIL's gran's birthday.
I will then set to tidying up and washing bedding etc as I'm not planning on going out.
Roast beef for two tonight.
Love to all ?x

Good morning all from Leicester, and welcome Toby.
Will be walking the dog in our local park this morning. We love it there, and it is a little oasis of city nature. The first coot is building its nest in the river, which is lovely to see, although I suspect he’s a bit ahead of himself.

Then I’ll be helping DH with some painting, getting ready to sell my late mum’s flat.

Happy Sunday, everyone.

Good morning all and it’s dry and calm here in Essex at the moment.

I’m another with a stubborn mule for a husband. Like you GM , I’ve given up with him. He’s an adult and has to make his own decisions. It only causes unpleasantness when I try to ‘advise’. ?.

We have all the family here for buffet lunch today. 14 of us , so no room for a formal sit down, civilised dinner. It will be a free-for-all .? The first time we’ll all be together for a while as Civid caused Christmas absentees. The only one missing is DGD away at Uni. We’ll FaceTime her. ❤️.

Toby - welcome and I hope your decorating goes to plan ?.

Wishing you all a lovely day. Keep dry and cosy!
