Good Morning Tuesday 2nd February 2022

Good morning from a still, dark E Kent.
Gosh, Mick, I too hope York isn’t flooded, the Ouse overflows with great ease.
I’m off to Bristol first thing for two nights. DH won’t accompany me, he does feel well enough. Iris’s operation is tomorrow. She’s first on the list. We’ll see how it goes.
The weather was ghastly yesterday, so much wind again, rain and hail.
I hope that everyone with troubles has a gentle day. Carpe diem. ????☀️?

Good morning, Mick, and those who follow from a calm Torbay at the moment! Yesterday began similarly but, by mid morning, strong winds returned.

I hope you and your DH will not have to wait too long for his heart surgery, Scentia. It is wonderful what can be achieved for patients these days and his level of fitness will serve him well as he recovers. We shall all be here for you and interested to hear of progress.

Yesterday, I enjoyed lunch with some of the theatre Props team at the Babbacombe Bay Café, with which brook2704 is familiar from a happy meeting we had there last month! Due to half term, it was very busy ….. and noisy!

A visit to the dental hygienist awaits me this morning then shopping in Lidl. I hope everyone is as well as possible and that grandMattie has a safe journey to Bristol. Your DD will appreciate your support. Lots of ?????for dear Iris. ?????

Good Morning from Severnside to you all. Still dark and not raining. A bit blowy yesterday.

I had a surprise visit from my friends who moved away yesterday. Always a pleasure to see them.

Not quite a normal Tuesday for me so I’ll just see how the day goes.

My thoughts to all with worries and poorly loved ones. I don’t want to mention particular people because I’m sure I’d miss someone out. Although I don’t often say I do think of you and what’s happening in your lives.

Have the best day you can everyone ??

Good Morning everyone from a calmer south coast (9.5c) after another windy night.

Safe journey to Bristol Mattie and hope all goes well for Iris. What a brave little girl she is. Also best wishes to your DH as you both wait for a diagnosis.

I hadn't spotted news of your DH's heart surgery Scentia but sending positive vibes for you both and I agree with Ash that his fitness levels will serve him well.

The car is going in for a service and MOT today and we are trying a new garage which collects and delivers the vehicle so I am a bit apprehensive in case it doesn't re-appear! DH is very laid back about such things but I am not!

Had a lovely surprise visit from DD yesterday to tell us that exchange has taken place on the flat they are buying nearer her place of work so that she doesn't have to travel 100 miles round trip every day. She was a bit apprehensive about being away from home so much more but realises that it will be an investment and family and friends can use it at weekends too. Completion is 9 March.

Have the best day you can everyone.

Good morning all from a cloudy, calmer, S Hants. A shock for you both yesterday Scentia, hoping for a swift operation and an even speedier recovery.
Safe journey gMattie and good wishes for Iris.
One drive today, a birthday card to post while I’m out walking and a bit of a garden tidy after the winds.
Enjoy your day all ??.

Good morning from blustery Leicestershire.

So sorry to hear your news Scentia but hopefully your DH will have his op soon and make a full recovery.
Wishing Iris all the best for tomorrow. She is such a brave girl.

Not much planned today.
Wishing every one the best day possible.

Good morning from East Yorkshire. It seems calmer today.

I’ll be going to coffee morning today I’m looking forward to it after missing last week.
Then I have a free afternoon as it is half term here this week and we will be seeing GS tomorrow.

Yesterday I contacted Shazzakanazza only to find she really is just down the road from me. Not just that but we already know each other! What a small world and we are hoping to meet up soon. Hoping her DH gets on ok today at his hospital appt.

Take care everyone.

Good morning from a calmer Derbyshire. It's not raining at the moment but more is forecast today.

Yesterday we went on a mystery coach tour. The destination was apparently changed twice due to weather conditions in other locations, and we ended up in Cambridge. A good choice though, and we had an enjoyable day. However, the fun and games began when we returned to Derby. Much of the city centre was gridlocked due to the river Derwent bursting it's banks, flooding some of the surrounding roads and leading to a bridge, a major route out of the city (our route), being closed. Crossing to the other side of the river to enable us to get home became a real problem. Thankfully we eventually managed to get on a bus that changed it's normal route to get us out of the city. We passed abandoned cars along the way that had tried and failed to get through the flooded roads. It was a relief to get home and I really hope no houses were flooded here or anywhere else.

A quieter day planned today. DH has to take a relative to hospital for a procedure and might want me to accompany him.

Hope Tuesday is a good day for all.

Thinking of all with worries and sadness
Scentia

Good morning from Rutland where a calmer day appears to be dawning. The wind and rain yesterday were as bad as Friday here and, like many others I’m sure, my travel plans were disrupted, so it’s off to DD2 and family today. Wishing everyone the best day possible and praying world events do not escalate, having just heard the 7o’clock news.

Good morning from a grey, damp Colchester.
Just realised DH didn't put the bins out last night as usual so I'd better nip out and do it now. Sod's law is there'll be an early collection of I don't and a late one if I do.
Tuesday is my charity shop day. It's a 15 minute walk from home. Seems like I haven't walked that far for ages because of these storms. Looks like today will be a normal February day.
Love to all ? x

Morning Mick, morning All. A much calmer start to our corner of Somerset after yesterday’s wind and rain. Slept too which helps.

Some sorting, half an hour in thr garden, a trip out for a cuppa mid afternoon, a chat on the phone and the day disappeared yesterday. Hair cut then a supermarket trip today. We don’t often go ourselves for a grocery shop these days and I’m quite looking forward to it. Not sure what else, wait and see time this afternoon.

Safe trip grandMattie, thinking of your husband scentia and everyone with worries of any kind.

Hope Tuesday is kind to us all.

Good morning all and it’s calm and peaceful here in Essex . Thank goodness the storms have gone!

This morning I will shop and this afternoon go to my Bridge Club. It will be lovely to get back to some sort of ‘normal’ and see friends.

Scentia sorry to hear your DH’s diagnosis. ?

GM - hope all goes well for brave little Iris ?.

Glad you got home safely Beauregard

Hoping you all have a safe and pleasant day. ??

Good morning everyone from a wet and windy Inverness although it’s due to brighten up later
Yes I remember the cafe well Ash what a lovely time we had
Today I’ve got to finish emptying the utility room cupboards as we’ve workmen coming tomorrow to fit new units and a new sink etc. It really does need a makeover and I’ll be pleased when it’s done.
Have a safe trip GM and sending very best wishes to Iris
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good morning all from a wet Glasgow, what a change from yesterday's sunny, but bitterly cold day.

Yesterday, I got three loads of washing out and dried, there is a simple pleasure watching washing blowing in the wind. After clearing the porch cupboard of coats, which really needed a new home because I am overweight!, I felt quite virtuous!
I decided to do this, because DH was golfing and I thought I would have peace to do so.
I was so wrong, he caught me unawares and arrived home unexpectedly, an hour earlier than usual. Unfortunately the coats were piled up against the front door and he couldn't get in! ?

Unsurprisingly, fool that I am, but you already knew that, I overdid things, had a severe angina attack, so spent the afternoon lying down. Once an attack starts, there is no going back, regretting doing too much, won't stop it!
On Grandmattie's advice, I lay watching foreign rubbish dramas, my favourite, a Turkish version of Casualty!
The sun was streaming into the conservatory, it was bliss. Such simple pleasures.

I wish GM a safe journey and sending best wishes to Iris for tomorrow.
To Scentia and Fanny, hoping that today brings some progress for your husbands. It's so hard for those who care too, the worry takes its toll. I look at my DH and think of much he has done and given for me. ?
Glad to hear some good news, Gaga!

I'm off out to church this morning, to do a couple of jobs. DH has insisted on accompanying me. I know he is concerned, however that means my social interaction will be curtailed, I could talk for hours, but he is the antithesis of me, the original quiet man. ?

Have a good day, whatever your plans.

Good morning Mick and everyone from a much calmer Hull. Mick there are a few flood warnings in York and it’s due to peak today. Really hope you get there.
It was such a pleasure to be back in contact with Grandmadinosaur enjoy your coffee morning. I also have my DGS tomorrow all day. See you soon. grandMattie hope everything goes well for Iris safe journey to Bristol. It’s DHs procedure today hoping nothing serious is found. We had a five mile walk yesterday but there was no one around much so it was nice to blow the cobwebs away.
Take care everyone and hope Tuesday brings moments of joy.

Good morning all from, as dragonfly says, a blustery North Leicestershire.

beauregard, DD1 was caught up in the Derby floods trying to get from their house to ours. They eventually made it and we had an very enjoyable evening. She and the children stayed the night and, today, we are going to do an Escape Room. Hope we can get out.

DS1 is coming for a meal tonight and to watch the football.

Sending love and gentle hugs to everyone with worries and sadness.

Good morning Mick and all his followers. West Suffolk is grey and breezy but it’s a marked improvement on the last few days. Yesterday morning was as bad as the weekend with some torrential rain about and howling winds still. Talk about February Fill Dyke - the dykes around here are all full now thank you!
The garden is decorated with plastic plant ? pots thanks to the storms and my small wooden cold frame is scattered to the four corners so I have plenty to do today.
Best wishes to Iris & Scentia’s DH and I hope the day is kind to everyone.

Good morning from Cheshire. Calmer weather today.
Best wishes to Iris .
I must have missed an update yesterday from Scentia. I hope your DH is soon back to full health.

Good morning Mick and everybody. It’s drizzly in my corner of Lancashire this morning, currently 9°C. No wind at the moment.

It was quiet last night and I slept much better. Yesterday’s Healthier You zoom meeting was cancelled due to instructor’s illness and rescheduled to next Monday. This morning I have an early appointment with the phlebotomist so I will read your posts later.

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. ?

Good morning from the Black country, rain stopped but still windy. We had an earthquake last night 3.2 on the Richter scale.
Safe journey for those travelling, and hope all goes well and for those with hospital and dental appointments.
Take care all and may you all find some ?

Morning Mock and all

Like Gingster has posted, it’s quite here at the moment, no wind but rain due later.

I am on Granny duties today with The Imp so no idea what the day will bring.

Thinking of Scentia , FannyCornforth , Marydoll and any others I have missed who have troubles/illness themselves or their husbands/family (((hugs)))

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Morning everyone! A calm day here this morning in Yorkshire. the sun is just about out. Looking fairly nice. Rain forecast soon though. We have our granddaughter today so hoping we will be able to get out into the park a bit. Enjoy your day whatever you do

Good morning all from Polmont. 8° and wet here. Beauregard I'm another who is glad you made it home safely. Mick I hope your trip goes ahead.
Yesterday was a quiet day. I tidied up and spent the afternoon knitting. I continued with my revamp of the living room and it's looking nice.
Today is dgs1 birthday. He is three. His mum and dad are taking him to various activities during the day and I'm invited round for a chippy tea so I'm looking forward to that. He's a dear wee boy. I have a little shopping to do today so I'll potter until tea. Have a good day all.

Here’s Matt.

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s dry and still. It looks nippy out though.

Not much on the agenda today. I have a few cards to write for March birthdays when we’ll be away. I will pass them to my stepfather tomorrow and he kindly posts them all for me.

Himself will be taking the Boy Wonder to football training early evening so we will eat beforehand as when he gets back we need to scoot straight out to join friends for a drink locally.

Best wishes grandMattie for your brave ‘flamingo girl’. I hope all goes well.

Happy Tuesday everybody. x
