Good Morning Tuesday 30th August 2022

Good morning all from cool and cloudy South Lanarkshire.

How lovely to hear about all your cruises and holidays. I’m living vicariously through all the tales as we haven’t been able to travel much this year.

It’s a medical day for us, dental appointment for me then DH has to attend the orthopaedic clinic in the afternoon. He may be getting to the point of needing a knee replacement.

I have a new pair of boots waiting to be collected so we can do that while we’re out.

Have the best day possible everyone. Good wishes to those feeling under par.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 12° and wet. Grey skies overhead so it's likely to be raining for a while. Susan good luck at the dentist.
Yesterday was a fairly lazy day. Only one visit to the retail park to pick up a quilt and some pastel paper. I also bought a lovely plush pumpkin in a rich dark blue colour. Thinking ahead!
Today I have to deliver a card to my friend's parents for their golden wedding anniversary. Royal Mail are on strike so I wanted them to have it on time. I've ordered flowers too. Then I must get on with my drawings. The exhibition is getting closer. Have a good day all.

Oops Harri - I’m a couple of days ahead of myself. Your procedure is Thursday - I’m just lost off with the days and the BH weekend. X

Good Morning Mick and everyone from Hull. A lovely fine day here.

What a lovely time our friends on holiday are having.
BlueSapphire enjoy your last day.

Yesterday we visited my Dad and Stepmum. We had a lovely lunch out at a pub and discussed our holiday together. My Dad is a stubborn man because he’s deaf in one ear and can’t walk very well due to a bad foot aching hip etc he won’t get a hearing test or use his stick on holiday because at nearly 82 he feels too young. I’ve threatened him with an ear trumpet and a motorised scooter on holiday which he laughed till he cried at the image of himself.

Visiting with friends in Filey and Scarborough today hoping to enjoy some gluten free fish and chips and then I really need to get a few pound off before my holiday as nothing much fits!! My stepmum is glamorous and thin at 76 and I’ll look podgy next to her lol

Have a lovely day everyone and virtual hugs for those with worries and illness. ??

Good morning Mick and all from 14 and sun in S Hampshire. Another carless day for me; yesterday I did some garden tidying and optimistically sowed more beetroot and winter carrots, we’ll see. Today I’ve some free bowls tuition this afternoon, my daughter will be chauffeuring.
Lovely cruises and walks happening on here, I do enjoy hearing about your adventures, thank you all.
Hoping all dentists and medical appointments go well.
Enjoy your day if you can ??

Good morning everyone .
A fairly quiet day here. Take the dog to the field for a run. He will be collected later. Put a wash load on and generally sort myself out for the rest of the week.
I expect some sort of art /craft will be done too.
Safe travels for all in the move and speedy recovery for those who are poorly.

Best avoided Dragonfly it left a bad taste.

Good morning all from a cloudy Black country.
Need a trip to TKMaxx today our friends birthday coming up so a voucher is called for, might have a look around while there sure there's something I need?.
Family are off to Cumbria today should be on the train now, Dil has a friend from uni days that they visit.
Enjoy your Tuesday everyone and may you all find some ?.

Good morning from sunny Colchester. I have a house full of males for the next couple of days.
We've not planned the day but it will involve the supermarket as we didn't get there yesterday and probably the park playground for 6 year old DGS.
Love to all ? x

Good morning from sunny Leicestershire.

Pinky and Perky coming this morning - it’s what DH calls our cleaners. They are doing the windows!
They will have to circumnavigate my son’s cats.

Sorry you have been upset Maw I missed the whole thing. Probably a good thing.

Wishing everyone the best day possible.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a sunny (at the moment) South Yorkshire. Hope you’re feeling better Mick. Lovely visit from DD and her menfolk yesterday afternoon cheered me up. It’s nice to have people round the table for a meal. While they were here I got the boys to turn my mattress round and retrieve a couple of things from the loft. Eye test for me this afternoon, and while I’m at the mall I will pop into M&S.
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning all from sunny Harrogate.
Have been very busy turning a junk room and my craft room into bedrooms for my visitors tomorrow. Today I have DGS to care for. Thinking of taking him on the bus and train to Knaresborough.
I managed to gouge a hole in my leg last week,walking into the open door of the dish washer, I know I should have gone to A&E but didn’t really have time for a 4 hour wait. Its still painful. But manageable.
Have the best day possible folks

Good morning from a sunny East Midlands. Busy morning planned as we are doing the weekly shop today, the afternoon will be taken up with batch cooking no doubt.
Have the best day possible, take care in all you do and stay positive.

Good morning all from a sunny (with a bit of cloud) Suffolk by the sea.
We are off back to Essex today so clearing up and a tip trip is on the agenda,
Hopefully I’ll be back in time for my bridge club this afternoon.

I had a cuppa and long chat with my lovely neighbour here yesterday afternoon while Dh was at a footie match. I’ll miss her!

I hope everyone has a good day ?

Good morning from Shropshire.

A trip to the dentist for me this morning?after my clear check up a couple of weeks ago I have lost a filling?

As my dental practice is in Shrewsbury we will pop into town afterwards and hopefully have lunch out if my mouth is ok??

Have a good day everyone??

Good morning all!
Just popping in to see how you all are and to wish any poorly friends or those with family worries well. Yesterday’s attacks on GN have left me reeling and unsure whether the site as a whole (not this lovely thread) is the “safe space” I thought it was.
I may need to back off for a wee while and recentre.
In the meantime I wish you all a pleasant day, September soon and here at least, there are the beginnings of Autumn with a nip in the air. ?

I’m sorry you’ve had a rotten time on GN recently, Maw. I hope that the kindness on this thread restores your faith in the essential goodness of people.
In my case, I have seen too many attacks to really voice my opinion. I just read the threads, check the posters, and then decide whether to comment. Usually I don’t. Can’t cope with unpleasantness after a completely unprovoked attack years ago.
Anything to keep the peace - head in the sand, me….

Good morning from a sunny NE ?
Kept busy all day yesterday, washing and ironing done and watched some TV too.
DD will work from home today so SIL will take me shopping a day earlier than usual, needs must as I will be taking prep tomorrow ?
Lovely to hear about all the different holidays and how good the weather has been.

Good morning from a cloudy Black Country.

Off to DD's today to be with the girls whilst she goes into school. This is the 4th time she has been in over the holidays!

Then later this afternoon take Mum for a blood test. Hopefully it may pinpoint why she says she feels unwell constantly.

Wishing you all an enjoyable day

Good morning all from a bright but chilly North Leicestershire.

Our gardener is due this morning too. There is quite a bit of clearing up to do and we want to talk about more drought resistant plants for where stuff hasn't survived. And, we want a plan to replace a huge euphorbia which is taking over.

I have choir, ironing and shopping to fit in too. Burgerologist for tea.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning from a blue sky Durham. No rain forecast.
Back from Malaga and I’ve hit the ground running - coffee this morning with a friend, chiropody this afternoon and a friend I haven’t seen for two weeks is desperate to meet up after that. Have DD2’s older dog here, so a walk with him later - it’s getting dark earlier every day now.
Best wishes to Harri for today’s procedure and any other GNs feeling under the weather.

I posted yesterday but inadvertently placed on Sunday’s Good Morning. So a few adjustments.

We retuned to Southampton from our cruise on Sunday. To our great surprise and delight the children had been in and decorated our living room with balloons etc and left a Fortnum & Mason hamper and other goodies for our 40th wedding anniversary. We’ve had a great cruise but it seemed very strange being back at home. Loads of washing to look forward to. It was very rough on Friday in the Bay of Biscay off Portugal, cold and windy so the top decks were closed off. However Saturday was hot and sunny again. We saw loads of dolphins alongside the ship off Brest including a couple of babies.

Sunday was also DGD3’s 4th birthday. We didn’t see her as they enjoyed a family day out but we went to her family birthday party earlier today. The theme was Frozen. DD has a friend who does nails so they were painted silver just like Princess Elsa. My other children and GC came too. Unfortunately the 16 month old had a temperature of 40c and was very grouchy.

So sorry to hear about Cooper Ashcombe- it’s so hard losing a much loved pet. Coffee and walnut cake is my favourite. Yours look lovely Grandmattie.

Hope the other cruisers are having a lovely time.

Have a good day all.

Good morning all from East Yorkshire. There is a sunny sky but it’s a cool 12 degrees.

Had an enjoyable day at Burton Constable hall yesterday. Didn’t bother with the wallpaper afterwards. That will wait.

Had an unexpected text last night asking if I was going to coffee morning today. I thought all the other ladies were away/occupied etc but a couple are available and so off I will go ?

Your walking holiday sounds lovely in a picturesque part of our country brook

It sounds like your cruise has been a very enjoyable one Bluesapphire

Take care everyone.

Good Morning Mick, hope you are feeling better today.

Skies are clouding over in Oxfordshire today, but sun is forecast later.

Hope everyone has a good day

Good morning from Pau, we arrived here yesterday after a stunning drive through the Pyrenees.
There was a dramatic storm last night so hoping it will feel a little fresher than yesterdays 38 degrees.
Walking boots on later and off up the hill to explore.
