Good Morning Wednesday 16th February 2022

Good morning Mick and all who follow from a dry and dark north Wales where I’m about to go back to bed ?- DH coughing woke me at 4.30 so the chamberpot ☕️ was in use earlier than usual.....?

So many comings and goings on this thread recently- I cant keep up and always saddened that folks feel the need to leave when they’re upset - hurry back soon as you can ?

Will pop back later and read about your bizzinesses x

Good morning from a dry but cloudy E Kent.
Exhausted from yesterday busyness, slept very badly. Shall need a nap this afternoon.
We’re off to Philip’s house for a final time (we hope) today. DGS decided not to come to his dad’s house, so we’re giving him the estate agent thingy to look at at some stage.
The craft evening was really lovely, although what we made was, to my mind, quite horrible. I go for the fun, not the craft TBH.
Nothing much else happening - waiting for all sorts of stuff now we have the Letters of Administration; pensions, house sale, etc. Then we shall no more have to write Philip M deceased on all mails. It hurts every time.
I trust you will all have a good day, missing, sabbatical posters and all. Carpe diem. ???????❤️

Morning all from a windy gusty north. Bed feels like the best place to be! I've a congenial lunch group to meet with today and then the family will be descending on me in the evening for half term break. It's all systems go in the nicest possible way. Yippee! Hope everyone finds a highlight today and recognises it.

Here’s Matt.

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s dark and quiet. I can just about make out the ridge of the Pennines, that backbone of England. Apparently Storm Dudley will be out and about today so take care everyone if you’re leaving home.

Enjoy Wednesday if you can. Another difficult day ahead for you grandMattie it seems. x

Good morning all from a windy North Leicestershire.

Early start for the Lesters as I have to leave at 8.45 to get to a Carer course in the south of Leicester.

We had a great time shopping with DGD4 and came home with one outfit and lots of stationery.

Have the best day possibly everyone.

Good Morning everyone from Severnside. It’s getting light and it is damp.

Pottering this morning then I’m going out for a few hours this afternoon.

I agree with you Mattie. It’s a dreadful thing to see written down in black and white, and then I’d be seeing it blurry.

Have the best day you can all and I believe I read somewhere it’s Mr lossomings birthday so Happy Birthday to him ?

MrBlossoming

Good morning everyone from Inverness where we’ve woken up to a light covering of snow with a bit more in the forecast too
A sad and difficult day GM take care
It’s just my Aqua class at the gym today and some housework to keep me busy.
Enjoy your family time Kim!
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good morning from Essex by the sea where it is forecast to be warm and windy today.
I returned safely from Gillingham yesterday and DH, together with a very good friend, brought his new boat from the Medway, along the Thames Estuary, to the River Crouch.
He should be home sometime this afternoon.
I've woken up with a headache so I'm sitting in bed with my cup of tea.
Kind thoughts to all those who need them and to everyone have a wonderful Wednesday xx

Good morning from a windy Torbay. I had to smile when the weather forecaster said last night that Dudley would arrive tomorrow. It’s my surname and DH isn’t due here until next month!!

All aspects of life may be found on this thread with a poignant day ahead for grandMattie. I pray you will be given the strength to take you through the day ahead. Please be kind to yourself, dear lady and know how much you are in the thoughts of others.

For Kim19: a busy, happy few days ahead which I’m sure you’ll enjoy to the full. Lovely family time.

The regular leader of Wednesday Club (Toads Theatre social club) is away for a month so I’m running it in his absence. Luckily, another chap is willing to support me which will be a help with opening up the building, finding keys, light switches, etc! He’s a retired London fireman and we think he had a few pips on his uniform although he’s most unassuming and a proper “diamond geezer”!

Have the best day you can, everyone! ?????

Good morning all from Polmont. 8° but doesn't feel like it and windy. Storm Dudley is heading out way but hopefully we're on the periphery. I'm up early as I am getting my hair cut at half eight. I have very little hair but it still grows albeit slowly, so needs cutting. Then a quick visit to mum then I'm picking up dgs1 from playgroup to let his mum make a hair appointment. I'm looking forward to seeing him. Bolognaise for tea. Have a good day all. Stay safe!

Interesting Ashcombe that it’s your surname! I wonder if we have any Eunice’s on here or in their family for Friday’s storm?

Good morning all from Cheshire.
A bit windy out there but not too bad.
Early start as tree surgeon MIGHT be here at 8 am. Bet he isn't.
Snow Brook ! We hardly ever get any. A sprinkling sounds nice - any more is too messy.
Good Matt this morning Urmstongran
He always hits the nail on the head.
Kind thoughts to you GrandMattie

Good morning all from the Black country very windy here.
Mums and toddlers today so early start.
Happy birthday MrBlossoming and anybody else with a birthday, virtual hugs where needed. Will catch up with everybody's happenings later enjoy your Wednesday and may you all find some ?.

Good morning everyone from Leicester. We are expecting sunshine at some point today so I’m planning to tidy up the garden. Spring flowers are beginning to peep out, thank goodness.
Sending you a hug grandmattie. ?

Good morning from Rutland where a colourful sunrise has now faded to blue grey. It’s already very windy but dry. I can see a huge flock of birds circling - there must be hundreds of them landing and then rising again.

Looking forward to seeing our 2 DGDs today, they are looking forward to playing Monopoly apparently! Must get up and make some bread for lunch.

No news from yesterday on either front.

Wishing you all the best day, and thoughts to all those feeling below par just now.

Morning Mick, morning All from a dry, windy corner of Somerset.

Chores accomplished yesterday a quiet day ahead with just the grocery delivery to sort. Seem to have a constant headache, will try to get out if the wind gusts allow me to stay upright.

Go gently grandmattie, so much to deal with.

Have the best day you can everyone.

Good morning from East Yorkshire. It is light and dry with what appears to be the start of Storm Dudley.

I’m feeling better today helped by GS’s visit yesterday. After 2 days in the house I would like to get out today.

Thinking of you today Grandmattie ?

A busy but fun day ahead Kim

Happy Birthday to MrBlossoming

Take care everyone.

* GrandmaJean* my Valentine card from my donkey arrived yesterday. When you mentioned yours yesterday I remembered I hadn’t received mine.

Good morning everyone from a damp but clearing Northampton; storm Dudley forecast for us this afternoon with high winds and rain.

Did not get to my walk yesterday afternoon as it was pouring with rain, so made a good start on my new book, and have read nearly half of it.

Hoping to get to well-being Cafe at church after lunch, luckily it is on a bus route. Must take my tape measure today; one of the ladies has asked me to make her a cardigan so I need to get some measurements before I start.

Tidying up to do this morning and complete the Sainsbury's online order.

Shall miss those.taking a break; hope Wednesday is kind to all.

Good morning all very windy Harrogate
Yesterday I was absolutely gutted, after waiting over 2 hours for my hospital consultation- I phoned the hospital “ we told you your call has been cancelled!” Said they!! Except no-one told me. Apparently it’s postponed until next week. We then went to Knaresborough where I got a new handbag and picked up the dog from DDs. The afternoon was another telephone call, financial one which promised to las well over 1 hour until my brain died.
GrandMattie I can’t imagine what you are going through, it must be so painful.
Hope you feel better soon Marydoll it’s not the same without you.
Today I might even get the new printer set up!
Have the best day possible folks.

Good morning Mick and everyone from a very gusty Hull. Grandmadinosaur up the road I think the worst of the storm is hitting us this afternoon and very pleased you are feeling better.
Today it’s a zoom Pilates class and this afternoon picking up DGS from school. Take care everyone if the storm hits you today and for people with worries hope today gives you reasons to smile.

Good morning from a bright Black Country with ominous dark clouds looming!

Just back from filling car with petrol, I go early when it is quiet. Had to pop in to Sainsbury’s whilst there, and bought a coat at half price!

Lovely lunch with my friend yesterday, we were in there over 2 hours putting the world to rights.

No plans today, but will go to gym this morning

grandMattie

Enjoy your day everyone
