Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark and dry outside without any wind of strong terms in brackley this morning.
Today ,after housework I will get the bus to Bicester for my usual routine .
Also looking ahead as to my weekend in York , assuming the floods have not reach there ,as the hotel is alongside the river Ouse as well.
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning all from bright Harrogate
I know parts of Knaresborough have been flooded so York will most likely be affected. The river Ouse is notorious for flooding, but your hotel might be OK Mick
Hope your DH will soon be mended Scentia.
Hope your trip to Bristol goes to plan GrandMattie and little Iris has a successful op. Sorry your DH is not feeling too good.
This am I am supposed to has a telephone ? call from the consultant and this pm an eye to eye ? appointment with the GP !!
I’d better get a move on - have the best day possible folks

Good morning from Giffnock where it was very windy earlier but seems to have settled down now. I wrote a long newsy post yesterday and discovered when I checked in later in the day that I had only previewed.

So today I’ll just wish everyone well especially Scentia and her husband and Iris for her op tomorrow, what a little soldier she is.
I know there are others with health and other worries and I remember them too? Hope you feel better today Grandmabatty

Hoping the weather settles down for us all ???

Good morning everyone. I don't usually pop in here but wanted to share today's date with anyone who hadn't noticed yet.

It is not often we get a palindromic date.

Much calmer here this morning but apart from replenishing the stores after the weekend’s houseful not much planned, though I do have thank you letters to write.

Having braved driving to Temple Meads on Sunday yesterday I went with a friend to a U3A talk and then drove in the dark to flower club - realised I haven’t driven in the dark for a couple of years. No wonder I feel tired this morning.

Lots of people needing our support this morning so hoping for good outcomes for the invalids.

Good morning from the Scottish Borders . It is dark and wet. A day for staying in.
I haven't had time to come on here recently as I am hosting a very busy volunteer ? who keeps asking for another job! Does anyone remember bob a job week? If so can you imagine finding suitable jobs for an active grownup!
Sending healing vibes to all with health worries and to grandMattie for her brave Iris.
Have as best a day as you can everyone.

Good morning from a lovely calm Essex by the sea.
I had a very cold, windy walk yesterday along the sea front, we were blown along for much of it.
Today I am going with DH to do some cleaning on his new boat. He has just gone for a diabetic check up with the nurse.
My very best wishes for Scentia's DH and also for Iris, I wish her well.
Have a pleasant Tuesday everyone and stay safe xxx

A breezy but currently dry morning in Oxfordshire. I seem to have succumbed to DH's cold, which thankfully is only that and nothing worse. My thoughts and a big hug to Scentia.
A busy working day beckons so I send hopes for a good day to you all.

Good morning from North Yorkshire. It’s still very windy and dark with heavy showers forecast.
The River Swale burst it’s banks yesterday cutting us off from the local town. It flooded the fields nearby too. Fortunately there are no houses in its tracks here but it feeds into the rivers at York so I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you Mick.
Shopping today and book club later.
Thoughts for Iris and Scientia’s DH and all the others not well.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning Mick, morning all from sunny South Lanarkshire.

Sending best wishes to little Iris and to Mr Scentia for their forthcoming surgeries.

It’s our wedding anniversary today and earlier I was laughing and crying at the poem my DH wrote inside his card to me. Sometimes his romantic soul just can’t stay hidden. smile

Have the best day possible everyone. ??

Happy Anniversary baubles??.

Gwenisgreat1 Tue 22-Feb-22 09:06:04

Oh well, at least I didn't have to sit waiting for two hours like last week to find my telephone appointment hast been cancelled, I was phoned 15 mins ago to say it's been cancelled yet again!! I feel gutted!!

Urmstongran Tue 22-Feb-22 09:06:51

Just noticed - today’s thread says it’s the 2nd February!

Good morning Mick and everyone from dark breezy and very wet Carlisle. Annoying because I could have got outside yesterday when it was sunny but was stuck waiting for the gas engineer. He eventually arrived after lunch, in a state because he'd had so much trouble finding me. Apparently the developers had started to finish the road surfaces at one entrance to the estate, unfortunately the one he'd arrived at. So then it's a bit of a twizzle round country roads to get to the other side of the estate, and then my bit of it is still not on satnav maps. It took him a while to calm down!
I shall finish off the housework this morning and hope the weather improves for the afternoon.
Wishing you all a pleasant day.

Happy Anniversary baubles, what a lovely start to your day!

Good morning from Durham and at the risk of repeating myself, it's still wild, wet and windy. Had a late night read of yesterday's messages and shocked to hear of Scentia and FCs poorly DHs. I can only echo that Mr. S's fitness will play a big part in his recovery. Also pleased to read that Grannysomerset is getting out and about after what seems such a long ordeal. I am always sad that my DH didn't get the funeral he deserved, due to covid and like another friend, we think so long has passed now, it's not appropriate to try and organise memorial services for them.
At least there are some upbeat messages today, so many congratulations to those who have something to celebrate.
Must rush to get DD2's dogs out while there's a lull in the
rain. Have a good day everyone.

The date is not only a palindrome but also an ambigram!

Chris3 Tue 22-Feb-22 09:39:00

Good morning from wet and windy South Yorkshire. Yesterday's paper mache went really well and we are continuing today. DGS1 is trying his best to make an engine shed. DGD1 and I have elected to make slightly less ambitious pots ?
If all goes to plan we are going to have a go at making a rag mermaid today!
Thoughts with all those with troubles ?
Have a good day all x

Good morning all from an overcast W Kent. Having cancelled outing yesterday decided to see if I could sell surplus books to online company, amazed at what they don't take and what they do, all the rest to the nearest charity shop.
Friend coming for tea later and DH to new dentist, he is not looking forward to it.
Safe journeys and good wishes to all.

Lins1066 Tue 22-Feb-22 09:53:42

Good morning all from a wet and windy S Welsh coast.
A chores day ahead and some soup making.
Little dog is prostrate on his chair - he has several you understand - after a romp around the exercise field with the dog walker yesterday and an early morning walk with Mr Lins.
Hopefully he's out for the count for a while, the dog I mean.
GM I hope all goes well for Iris tomorrow.
Glad you got home safely if not uneventfully Beau.
Our Dd is now in L.A. after a lovely few days in San Francisco, the photo of her in a cell in Alcatraz was a bit disconcerting!
Grammaretto will you send your volunteer south? plenty to occupy him or her here.

Have a good day everyone.

Happy Anniversary to Mr and Mrs Baubles ??

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it isn’t so windy today.
DH managed a bit of sleep on the ward last night which is good as they are going to have a go at fitting some stents in this morning. He was desperate to avoid a bypass so they are trying the stents first. He has 1 artery which is 100% blocked so it makes inserting the stents a little complex, but they are the top surgeons in the country so if they can’t get them in, no one can.
I am at the factory just doing a few jobs then I am off home to try and get some shut eye. I was binge watching Vera until 4 this morning!!

Hope you are all well today, as well as you can be anyway❤️
