Good morning from a cold and Misty Oxfordshire, it was sunny yesterday but only managed to clamber up to 11degrees, hopefully it will warm up today.

MissOops will come to pick up her dog late morning and will have coffee.

Apart from that a nothing day, but I’ve downloaded some free Kindle Books onto my iPad, some are quite good, if you avoid the ‘Book 1’ which will leave you high and dry and having to pay £7.99 for the next book, and check that it’s a full book and not a 17 page taster. The Perfect Couple was a good book,
crime /thriller.
Anyway have a good day everyone, Happy Mothering Sunday as my Mum always called it, followed by Smothering Monday, that always made us laugh, I wish I could hear her laugh again.

Good morning everyone and Happy Mother’s Day from the sunny south coast.

A bitter sweet day as marydoll says but I had a lovely card from DD2 and the present of a very pretty bird bath for my new garden. I haven’t the heart to tell her that the only birds I’ve seen so far are magpies, seagulls, and pigeons, who are very clumsy where bird baths are concerned. ?

You must be exhausted, grandMattie, Your two hour nap is obviously just what you needed. Re charge your batteries whenever you get the chance!

Hope everyone has ☀️☀️ today.

Good morning all from Polmont. It's very foggy here and 3°. I'm hoping it'll burn off soon. Happy Mother's Day to you. I'm glad it went well Susan.
Dd had a lovely afternoon tea organised for us yesterday. Mum was on her best behaviour too. I came away with flowers and gifts.
Today I am doing nothing much. I think the usual pottering will be on the cards. Have a good day all.

Good morning from a very grey Essex by the sea.
Sorry to hear that you probably have Covid GG13, I'm still not 100% after a week.
DH arrived home about 7 last night, it was good to see him.
He's off to rugby this morning then the supermarket as the fridge is very bare.
Happy Mothers Day to all mums. I had a lovely box of goodies from DD1 yesterday, from M&S.
Marydoll it was devastating to miss Genesis after waiting all this time and we tried but failed to resell the tickets.
Enjoy your day whatever you may be doing xxx

Happy Mothering Sunday ??? As I tested positive again yesterday I had to cancel our lunch out today. So we’re having steak and salad for lunch followed by lemon tart. If I test positive this morning I’ll have to cancel my Oxford Literary Festival stewarding tomorrow. I was looking forward to it as there hasn’t been one for a couple of years. I first tested positive last Sunday with symptoms a few days before that! It is misty this morning in West Oxfordshire but once it clears I think it is going to be a beautiful day?

Happy mothers day ?we are going to dd,s for tea ,thinking of those who for whatever reason find today hard ??

Susan56 Sun 27-Mar-22 09:07:49

I’m glad your mum was on her best behaviour too Grandmabatty?

Good morning Mick and everyone from sunny Carlisle.
I've just returned from a walk, I needed it after indulging in 2 hot cross buns yesterday. One was justified after digging 2 big planting holes in the garden but the other was definitely not as I'd not long had dinner...it was just calling to me from the kitchen!
Nothing is planned for today, I may potter in the garden or more likely sit in it and read once the sun is round there. And probably I shall put some small pictures up on my office wall.

Have a good trip Ashcombe and may all the sickly have a better day.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning from East Yorkshire. It is a bit overcast today.

The weather matches my mood as I tested positive yesterday. It feels like a head cold and at least I feel like I can potter a bit unlike a few days ago. It’s come at quite a frustrating time not that it’s ever a good time to have COVID. I won’t be going out for lunch with DS and family he is just getting over having Covid himself anyway so I don’t know what the day holds.

Few other things not going well in this household so I won’t dwell on that and lower the mood.

Wishing everyone a Happy Mothering Sunday ?

Good Morning Mick and everyone from a cloudy Hull I keep seeing flecks of blue so hoping for a little sun
.
? for everyone on here this morning you are all such wonderfully caring people. All your families are lucky having you in their lives?

Yesterday was lovely with DGS playing in the garden. He stripped off and played in the borders playing with the soil. So we had to pop him in the bath before handing him over to his other grandparents.
Lovely meal on the marina and rather too many drinks. The marina area in Hull is lovely.
Today the DC and DGC are over so I’m cooking a chicken and beef dinner for them all. Can’t wait to see my DGDs and have cuddles the little baby is just over two weeks and super cute with a black Mohican down the centre of her head.
Take care everyone and hope Sunday brings moments of joy??

Good morning all from a grey miserable W Kent. Strange mothers day with DD and family having covid. DS may pop by later, we shall see.
Best wishes to all.

ShazzaKanazza Sun 27-Mar-22 09:40:13

Hope you feel better soon Grandmadinosaur ?

Chris3 Sun 27-Mar-22 09:53:21

Good morning and happy mother's day from slightly cloudy South Yorkshire. Hoping it will clear soon. I was going to visit my mother this morning but she has scuppered my plans by announcing she's off out with her boyfriend for the day ? good for her I say ?
I shall busy myself in the garden getting some more jobs done before the weather breaks up then tea at DS1's this evening to look forward to.
Love to all and have a good day xx

Chrissielou Sun 27-Mar-22 10:27:41

A foggy start here in Oxfordshire this morning, no view over the fields at all at the moment. A lovely day yesterday, catching up with DC and GC over coffee and cake. Thoroughly spoilt with flowers, gifts and cards.
DD1 enjoyed it too, so good to see her laughing with her brothers.
A pottering day, walking the dog and gardening. Roast chicken for tonight. Hope you all have a wonderful day.flowers

gillgran Sun 27-Mar-22 10:29:38

Good Morning to you all from N.,Cambs., Very foggy start here in the fens, that's now clearing, but it's overcast, (so the weather forecasters were right)!
We've had such a lovely sunny, warm spell, so mustn't moan.....

Warm wishes for you all on Mothering Sunday, I know it's mixed blessings for some of you.
( in fact, for most of us who still think of their own mother, even after many years, (+44 years for my own).

We are visiting our DD & family today, (hoping all our LFT's are negative). Hope to see DS too, so most of our immediate family.

Thinking of you all, especially those with extra concerns & worries.

Good morning all from the Black country. Late this morning feeling a bit rough so took test its positive, just hope DH stays clear.
Take care all enjoy your Sunday and may you all find some ?.

Blossoming Sun 27-Mar-22 11:29:06

Good morning Mick and everyone. Another sunny day in my corner of Lancashire, currently 14°C.

Yesterday I heard of the sudden death of an acquaintance at the age of 50. Not someone I knew well, but someone I liked and who always seemed so happy and full of life. His family must be devastated.

My body clock will be very erratic for the next week but I’m looking forward to longer evenings.

That sleep must have been much needed Grandmattie, hope things are improving.

Enjoy your Mother’s Day all who celebrate it. Mr. B and I do our best to avoid it as we have both lost our mothers and find it difficult.

Whatever you’re doing I hope you all have a good day and find a random flamingo or two ??

LauraNorderr Sun 27-Mar-22 11:45:54

Good morning Mick, keep on applying the Vaseline if it helps and do take care, we rely on you to welcome the day.
Good morning all mums on this Mothering Sunday. It’s a beautiful day on the Isle of Anglesey, we’ve already walked along the beach and left footprints in the sand.
You dwell away Grandmadinosaur, no such thing as lowering the mood if you need to chat. Lots of big broad shoulders on here. Happy or sad, it’s just good to be a part of the gn family.

Good morning from sunny south Dartmoor. I forgot to put the clocks forward so feel discumknockerated.
