Good Morning Monday 11th April 2022

Good morning all from a bright but very chilly (still) Suffolk seaside. The wind is off the sea today, so a complete switch around from the last few days, and the sea looks choppy ?.

We have a tip visit booked and we will shop for going back to Essex tomorrow. Will save us doing it at ‘home’ and we have the family coming on Friday for the usual Easter egg hunt.
We’ve had a lovely few days here and really appreciated the time away from appointments and worries!

Eldest Gd phoned last evening for a chat and to say she coming home from Uni on Wednesday and could she stay over at ours Thursday and Friday. She’s currently at a physiciatric hospital for her placement and some of the stories she tells are mind boggling and very sad. I wish she was doing a more ‘lighthearted’ degree but she finds it very interesting and rewarding. .

Lovely quilt GM ?.

Sar - good news re -covid test. Hopefully your girls will be with you soon.?.

Marydoll what a bumper bargain shop you had. I can just see you filling that trolly - supermarket sweep ??.

Lots of child care going on, so enjoy your days and ‘strength to your elbow’ . ???????.

Best wishes to all ????

Good morning all.
Lovely quilt.
Lots of little bits and pieces to clear today and a couple of parcels to post. A report to write which I always agonise over.
Wishing all a good day.

Good morning all. It’s a bright start in East Yorkshire.

I was awake coughing about 5. Got up had cough medicine and a drink of warm blackcurrant that soothed it but couldn’t get back to sleep. DH then woke me from a deep sleep at 7.45. He’s just back from dropping the car of and calling in to the Drs surgery. He was supposed to have heard from the GP after his release from hospital last Wednesday. Of course nothing so far and they knew nothing about it. He’s awaiting a call now later this morning.

I’ll attempt a few bits of light housework today and when we get the car back will go out for a top up shop.
Yesterday DS and GC visited after lunch. Had lots of cuddles with baby. She is such a smiley baby. GS was laughing at videos I showed him on my phone from when he was a baby.
A long day for you Shazzza hope you’ve got wine ready for later? it will be our turn on Wednesday!
Love the quilt GM you are so talented.
Take care everyone.

Morning all from a sunny S Hants. Beautiful quilt gMattie I too am in the button sewing group.
Glorious photos Ashcombe I can smell that air.
Save some plants for me merlot, I’m not ready yet, I need to do some more prep.
Not a lot going on really, hoping more energy will return as the days pass.
Enjoy your day all ??

Morning all from a beautiful West Yorks. My brisk walk this morning was such a joy I love seeing nature opening this time year .

GM you are so clever ,your quilt designs are so appealing makes me feel ashamed at being so ungifted in skills.Do hope DH has a better day, such shame after an improved week.

MARYDOLL your enthusiasm amazes me you certainly keep yourself busy.Do you not think it time to reduce a gear. I also am one for a bargain and buying for just in case moment.Family always check with me first if in need of emergency gift,card etc think it comes from living in rural area with no transport when first married so had to be prepared for all occasions.When should DH be out of isolation do hope over the worst.

Phone call to reorder my meds and have a small pile ironing to do.
Then really should be in the garden getting it ready for DGCs egg hunt Sunday.
Loving thoughts to all with health and family issues .Take care.

Good morning Mick and everyone from a bright Carlisle where the sun is still struggling to get out.
It's laundry and housework this morning then a visit to the hospital after lunch for one of my regular venesections. My iron stores are coming down steadily so I'm hoping the bloodletting will soon be only occasional.
Yesterday I sowed peas in the garden. I put canes in first but that wasn't as easy as it might sound as they had to be pushed into stony clay. Naturally, everywhere I wanted to put a cane, there was a stone! So I accumulated a few more for my growing pile.
Lovely quilt grandMattie, you are an artist.

Have the best possible day everyone.

Good morning Mick, good morning all. Blue skies on this beautiful Isle of Anglesey. Lots of lovely little lambs in the fields surrounding us. Bluebells in the hedgerows and tiny birds busying themselves in the trees.
Orlin is whistling in the kitchen, hopefully the kettle is too.
No voluntary work today so a long walk and perhaps a few phone chats with friends. Looking forward to warmer days sitting in the garden having face to face chats with friends.
Hope you all have a lovely day ??

Good morning Mick and all from Cloudy Chambers, northwest coast.
DS and DGD here, arrived yesterday so not sure what the day holds yet. Last night DS cooked a beef curry and we had a tv supper watching the Chase and gogglebox. DGD studying photography at university and takes photos here of things which look completely uninteresting to me, but interesting when she shows me her photos. Still chilly and I can’t seem to get warm.
Beautiful quilt grandMattie and hope your DH has a settled day.

Good morning from a cloudy W Kent. Run out of my milk so off for a quick shop, then I really really must wash the kitchen floor.
Love the quilt gMattie you bring back happy memories when I made one before the birth of DD2, all hand stitched had no idea how else to do it, I wonder if she has still kept it.A long gone aunt showed me what to do and I still have her cardboard triangles somewhere.

Good morning Mick and everyone. It’s cool and cloudy in my corner of Lancashire this morning, currently 11°C.

What a beautiful quilt GrandMattie, I hope there are no dramas today.

Hope you continue to test negative Marydoll and MrMDoll is over the worst.

My ‘wobbly head’ is receding but my balance has been affected once again. One step forward, two steps back. So I need to work on my core today to stabilise my centre, also build up my leg muscles once more. I don’t think I’ll be going out for a walk today as there’s a very strong wind, also by the time I’ve finished my physio exercises I think I’ll be too tired!

Thinking of all our grans going through difficult times.

Gm that quilt is beautiful you are very talented ,it's a lovely day here don't know what we are doing today. Marydoll hope you stay negative . Have a good day all ?

Good morning Mick and all. Sunny but rather breezy here in coastal West Sussex.
I was very tired yesterday and an attack of cystitis was threatening but seems to be better this morning so I will keep on drinking (water!).
We have someone coming from a flooring company to measure up for hard floor to replace the carpet. We are looking at engineered vinyl, though the young lad in the showroom seemed keen we should consider the laminate that they sell. We have two books of samples to look at but it’s very hard to decide on a shade from a 10x8 tile.
Lovely photos from Sarthe Ashcombe - wish I was there ?
Grandmattie your beautiful quilt will raise your DH’s spirits as well as keeping him cosy.
Blossoming, I should follow your good example with core and balance exercises. I hope you see some improvement soon.

What a beautiful quilt. I’ve only just spotted it.
