Good Morning Sunday 20th February 2022

Gingster I do hope you are sorted soon, please be careful ?

Good morning Mick and all his followers. It’s another wild and windy day in West Suffolk. We have been luck with electricity but a number of the surrounding villages are off. Our lovely neighbour rebuilt our damaged fence panel yesterday and now it’s stronger than it ever was.
We met DD &SIL yesterday for lunch on the coast in Maldon which was lovely but the foul weather put paid to any thoughts of a walk.
Today I plan to attack the mountain of ironing which has been waiting.
I hope the day is kind to everyone.

Good morning all from Polmont. 8° already and pouring rain and windy. It's a horrible day outside. Gingster that sounds awful. I hope it gets fixed soon.
Yesterday was a visit to dd. She had organised a buffet for anyone who came. Like me, she is a feeder and there was masses of food. Very quickly it got busy with lots of little ones under three. It was hectic! I was glad to get home to peace.
Today will be peaceful. I have no plans and I'm going nowhere. Haggis for tea. Have a good day all.

Good morning from a wild and wet Leicestershire.

Will be staying in and tidying my bedroom in prep for my new furniture coming tomorrow - so excited especially as it comes ready made - no flat pack!

Wishing everyone a good day.

Another wet and very windy day in Oxfordshire, yesterday started with beautiful sunshine and deteriorated into a day of heavy rain and cold wind. We stoked up the fire after a trip to the local town and were very cosy. Our dog loves the fire and sat panting in front of it!
Gingster so sorry to hear that you are experiencing such difficulties, I hope it is soon resolved.
Happy Sunday to all!

Good morning from North Yorkshire. It’s very windy and rain is forecast.
Gingster I hope your power is restored soon.
Church this morning then a day of reading and knitting.
Have a good day everyone. Stay safe.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning all from a wet and windy Black country.
Very busy on here this morning, haven't read through yet will catch up later tablet needs charging.
Not much planned for today, roast pork for dinner and will carry on reading my book.
Best wishes for anyone celebrating and virtual hugs where needed.
Enjoy your Sunday and may you all find some ?.

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it is wet and windy.
Haven’t been on for a while so I will try to catch up as the day goes on with everyone else’s news.
I went to the cinema last night to see Belfast. It was very good, with some great music in too.
Off to give my arm full shortly. I am O- so I am a first responder ⛑ whatever that means!! I think my blood is special, like the royal’s maybe?
I may pop in to the supermarket on the way home as I am starting a new health kick on Monday and need some cake and biscuits and crisps as a last supper today?. Yes, I know, I am crackers but I love my snacks and will miss them, but I must lose this stone and a half before it gets comfortable!!
I will read all your news whilst waiting to give blood and hopefully catch up with what you have all been up to.
Take care everyone and stay safe and upright today ❤️

Good morning all from a dull S Hants, rain and wind due later. The best news for you yesterday Maria.
There was me envying your little hideaway Gingster and you’re in dire straights, hopefully sorted very soon.
My son got their power back yesterday, it was out for about 27 hours, freezer contents lost, so they’ll be on the phone today.
We’ve no plans, football to watch this afternoon, slo cooker stew for dinner.
Enjoy your Sunday ??

Good morning all from our corner of the S Welsh coast, heavy rain and windy here and the seagulls are noisy which is never a good sign.
I'm sorry you are still without power Gingster, I hope you are sorted soon so that you can return home. Our son's partner's brother and family are in a similar situation in Carmarthenshire since Friday morning, horrible.

Ds and family came for the afternoon, our little dgd's first visit to our house, I think her Mum was suffering from cabin fever!
I played Hide and Seek (indoors!) with the five year old, at one point she whispered to me " you'll never guess where I hided it " ? bless.

DD arrived safely and is visiting Alcatraz today, she sent an amazing video of the Golden Gate bridge as the plane came in to land.
A quiet day for us, sirloin steak for later with new potatoes and mushrooms.
Hope Sunday is kind to us all.

Good morning from a wild,wet and windy County Durham. The wind is sweeping across the valley at the moment and hammering against the windows. As a child I loved that sound but not anymore.

We will be meeting DD2 and family for lunch today after having had an evening meal yesterday with DD1. A quiet day ahead for the remainder with knitting and some planning regarding outings over the next two days with GC as it's half term here. Fingers crossed the weather improves.

Have the best day you can everyone.

Good morning everyone from a cloudy and windy Northampton. Dry at the moment and hope it stays like it as I am out to the cinema this afternoon to see Death on the Nile.

A disappointing result to our rugby match yesterday, losing by one point. For the first time ever I got really upset, as it all hinged on the final kick of the match. Had to pull myself together and remind myself that it's only a game!

No cooking when I get back from the cinema, just a fish pie to pop in the oven, and some veggies in the microwave. Plus a nice glass of chilled white wine.

Wishing all a good Sunday.

Good morning all. It’s a bit wild again this morning.
The storm did indeed return here in the afternoon. We’d gone a short run down to Doncaster . I got a couple of bargain dresses for £5 in the M&S clearance and a couple of pairs of shoes for an upcoming holiday. Set off for home after lunch and planned a stop for a late lunch at a pub near home. We watched the huge snowflakes coming down as we were there. Thankfully they were wet and didn’t settle.
A bit of housework here today and a tapas lunch.

Great news that team GB at last have won gold at Beijing ??

Hope you get sorted soon Ginster
Take care everyone.

Good morning Mick and everyone from wet and wild Carlisle where it has been so all night. No going outside today, I shall probably snug up in my cosy sitting room with my very long book and some music. A steak to thaw out for dinner I think.

Yesterday morning my bareroot roses arrived and in the afternoon I managed to get out and plant two of them. They were shrub roses with well developed root systems meaning they needed big holes digging in my solid clay. Hence only 2 roses in, the others are heeled in awaiting better weather which doesn't seem imminent judging by the forecast.
Wishing you all a pleasant day and wishing Gingster a speedy resolution of the electricity problem.

Good morning from a sunny NE. It was wet and windy all night.
My sister rang last night and talked for nearly two hours, she says she is very lonely despite the fact that she is out and about every day.
DD and SIL are coming for dinner tonight, Chateaubriand for two of us and Tofu steak for DD.
My tablet won't connect to the internet so hope SIL will sort it for me, I am useless with technology.
Take care if you are out and about today.

Good morning to everyone from a blustery Yorkshire i will be honest and say i havent even got up ! I went to the loo at some unearthly hour and once back in bed, fell zzzzz till now !! 9.26?? thats bad !

My GD came yesterday to sleep for the week ( school holidays ). She is 13 and i gave her a shoe box that was full of her old baby clothes, she couldnt believe that she was soooo small.

I keep all sorts of things, i have 5 memories boxes, of course all photos are now on electronic devices, if 1 of my GC say something funny, I write it down and pop it in my memories box because we forget the little things don't we?

Anyway, enjoy your day everyone, i hope the weather is fine for you, i am getting up now. LAZY BONES.

Good morning all from windy W Kent. Busy day yesterday doing DD2's washing, as no sooner had they moved into their new home than they lost all power, it has taken 36 hours to get it restored, they are in quite a pickle.
Quite day today before a busy week.
Best wishes to all.

Thank you to everyone who sent kind wishes. We had a lovely day yesterday took DGS1 to the macmillan charity lunch then home to DS2 house where we had a catch up afternoon with the whole family. Absolute bliss after all this time.
Hugs to all who need one.

Still quite windy and very, very wet here. After a packed couple of days DD and family are off home to Liverpool but by train, not the car they drove down in which died about five miles away on Thursday evening. Car has, we hope, been transported home to Liverpool on a low loader by the AA and should be at home awaiting a decision on its future. An added drama which we could all have done without!

Friday was an amazing day, sad and joyful, with DH’s memorial service well attended by locals and watched worldwide on a live stream. Our AC were excellent and everything worked perfectly and did DH proud, which was what I wanted.

Now the house is in a bustle as they get ready to leave - I am taking them and some of their luggage to Temple Meads, the rest of their stuff they will pick up in a couple of weeks when they will be collecting and returning me for a birthday trip. Think I may well sleep for several days once the house is returned to order!

I’m awed by your expertise in your garden EkwaNimitee - you sound like Charlie Dimmock!

Morning everyone from a grey windy north Kent coast. It’s going to be windy again later today. We lost a couple of ridge tiles off the roof on Friday so hope the others are glued on ok. Fortunately apart from the tiles there was no damage as I had just moved my car away from the house after a bit of mortar rolled its way down the side roof - a sign that things were moving around up there. Good job I parked it further up the drive otherwise it would be sporting some severe dents! DH’s car avoided any of the debris. Now to find a roofer!

DD and family are travelling back from York later today so will be anxious until they are safely home.

Hope you all have a good and safe day.

Good Morning from a wet & windy N.,Cambs.,

I've been thinking of you, Gingster, I hope you are OK & managing with no power, (I think/imagine that you are a (sort of) diagonal line across East Anglia from our little home-from-home on the NW Norfolk coast).

Out for Sunday lunch today as it's my ....th birthday.

Warm wishes to you all.

Happy birthday gillgran ! Enjoy your lunch ??

Good morning Mick and everybody. It’s raining in my corner of Lancashire this morning, much milder, currently 11°C. The wind returned with a vengeance last night and I slept poorly. Still blowing now, so no walk today.

Hope your power is restored soon Gingster.

Glad that Friday went well GrannySomerset despite the travel problems, I hope you have a good sleep once the visitors are safely on their way.

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.
