Morning all from a frosty S Hants. Hopefully a very mild dose Baubles as most people have had.
?your DH had a better night gM incessant pain is horrible, depressing too.
MrJ just left for work, bathrooms cleaning and hoovering for me, I’ve also got some seeds to post for my brother. Must pick up my prescription from the chemist and a tip run.
I don’t compute the ironing of bedding GG13, never happened in this house!
Have a lovely day all with some ??.

Good morning all from the airport Lounge at the airport. All checked in had breakfast and waiting for boarding our flight to Palma.
Sitting here watching the news on the TV screens it seems wrong to be off on a holiday whilst watching the awful news going on in other parts of the world.

Take care everyone.

Good Morning from Severnside everyone. Cold and dry.

Had a good day yesterday considering. Beechnutella came to help me with the fence panels. She told me she had hurt her back and I did wonder whether we’d get it done when she walked through the door. We cracked on with it and took things steady and carefully. Afterwards I wanted to cut up some long branches and wanted her to be there while I used the chainsaw.

Tidying and washing to do this morning.

Your cats might think you’ve built them a posh pad of their own BlueSapphire.

Take care all and have the best day you can ??

Good morning all from a chilly Torbay. I just hope the NE wind from yesterday has moved to a milder direction. It felt bitter when I took the short walk to church, where money was being collected for Ukraine, in return for a blue and yellow friendship knot pin. (Photo)

Another Wordler here, along with DH, olddudders, who also completes Quordle and Octordle which defeat me. My family have set up a WhatsApp group to share the results, although the Australian branch are always ahead because they can access theirs 11 hours earlier than us. Even nine year old DGD joins in.

Early Lidl shop is necessary, not least as DH is due here tomorrow. Such a relief now that private PCR tests are no longer required. He can go out immediately so I’ve signed him up to do Front of House duties as we have a play running this week: Funny Money by Ray Cooney.

Your poor DH is really going through it, poor man, * grandMattie*. Your family has surely suffered enough this past year. I hope there is soon relief for him. Likewise, I hope your DS soon recovers and your DoutL remains well, BlueBalou.
Enjoy brunch, Gagagran and I trust it will enable you to put the horrors of the news to one side for a while. It is most distressing.

Cats are a law unto themselves, BlueSapphire so good luck with that! Perhaps a previously unseen cardboard box would help? DH's cats always assume that anything new is for them!!

Have a good week, everyone! ??????

Morning Mick and all

grandMattie I do hope your DH is pain free and more comfortable soon.

Sar53 haven’t you got a special concert this weekend coming?

Off to the gym this morning, then the big decision- do iron all the bedding or send it off to the ironing service…

Keep safe and well folks ??‍♀️

Good morning from East Cheshire a bit frosty here. Off to play at my new golf course at 8.00 brrr.

Good morning everyone from a cold dry Northampton. An earlier morning for me as I need to prepare for the man coming to clean my suite today; which basically means making sure the cats are out of the way and not getting out of the house or up to mischief. I have decided that they will spend the morning in the summerhouse, so will need to put their food, water , beds etc out there. Wondering what they will make of it!

A quiet day spent at home yesterday, and got stuck into my new book club read, and am a third of the way through it. More of the same this afternoon I think. Also checking bus times for tomorrow morning as I need to be at the surgery at 8am!

Have already done Wordle and Worldle this morning; still to do the crosswords, easy and cryptic, and Sudoku. My paper also has word wheel and word ladder which I also enjoy - keeps me out of mischief!

Hope Monday is kind to all.

Good Morning everyone from a chilly south coast. 2.0c this morning but dry.

Today we celebrate three family birthdays. My DD is 49, DiL is 52 and my big brother is 84. This morning we are going to have brunch with DD and DGD (who has come back from university for her Mum's birthday) at a lovely cafe in our little town. Albert Finney, a resident for many years, used to go there every morning for his breakfast.

Sorry to hear your DH is in such pain Mattie and just hope the consultant can help give him some ease. Thinking of you bothx.

My DH is also a Wordle, cryptic crossword and diabolical sudoku etc. aficionado. I'd rather read a book! I do get called on occasionally for crossword answers though, especially if they are of a literary nature.

I am finding the news so distressing and feel hope-less and helpless. How can such evil be unleashed? There has to be a reckoning.

Take care everyone and have the best day you can. sunshine

Good morning from a cold but dry Essex by the sea.
A quiet weekend and a quiet week to come.
Have a lovely Monday everyone xx

baubles, I call my sons’ partners daughters-UNlaw. People don’t listen properly and to a woman, they were delighted with their moniker!

Good morning from a dawning E Kent. We are promised a glorious albeit cold day - max 5 deg!
DH is another Wordle fan, but then he does the cryptic crossword, the diabolical sudoku, etc. I’m too stupid in that area to do any.
Poor DH was in a great deal of pain yesterday, having been bashed about by the scope. I hope he’s managed some rest last night. Most painkillers are ineffective.
Cleaning today, I loathe it, but am reluctant to answer random ads at the newsagents.
I hope everyone has a reasonable day. Carpe diem. ????

BlueBalou Mon 07-Mar-22 06:07:56

Good morning Michael, I enjoy Wordle too. It gets my brain cells stirred up ?
Surgery visit at lunchtime, dog walk first thing and I really need to plant some bulbs too.
Wood burner coming Thursday so that will be a whole lot of mess because the fireplace needs opening up ??? but I will be glad to get it done.
Hope everyone has a good week x

Good morning Mick and all who follow from South Lanarkshire. I haven’t yet checked what the weather is doing.

I’m a Wordler too Mic, I’ve just posted my score on the wordless chat thread.

Awake early as I’m worried about my DS and his partner. DS told me last night that has covid, he is asthmatic and my D out Law is 30 weeks pregnant.

I hope everyone has a good day.
