Good Morning Sunday 25th September 2022

Good morning all from Glasgow where there has been a sudden change in the weather, cloudy and a nip in the air now.

DD1 and her lot have rented a cottage near Dumfries for September weekend. She sent me a photo shot of them having a day at the beach…..Morecambe Bay! Quite a trip to visit a beach but they had a wonderful day.

Pilates homework still to do today, clean out some garden pots and pot up a deep red clematis I came across for £2. Sadly our gardener is down with covid which leaves me on the hunt to find someone to at least cut the grass. A task which is beyond me now for such a large area. I am not good at accepting defeat, so frustrating.
A warm welcome to you mummytummy

Best wishes for a good day to all.

Good morning all, very bad night and still in bed. Will catch up on your posts later.

Good morning Mick and all from a dull northwest coast.
Fab day yesterday as five of us from our music club travelled to Leeds to a matinee performance of Old Time Music Hall at the City Varieties Theatre , which was the hilarious, particularly on the front row and one performer swirling his kilt to show what goes on underneath (not much)… we laughed so much and it was a real tonic. The star was Basil Brush! Surreal but side splitting.
And such a pretty old fashioned theatre.
It was a tiring day, so have taken up a recovery position.
Thoughts to those with troubles and hope you all have a good day.

Good morning from a sunny W Kent. After flu and Covid jab yesterday my usable arm is a bit painful so it will be a good excuse to do as little as possible. Luckily no one about today.
Marydoll since we had to holiday on the island we have found so many interesting places to go and returned to places we haven't visited since childhood. We are heading your way next month.
Take care everyone.

I can just about remember being jumped on by a four year old! Happy days!

No church service locally so will go for the Sunday paper and not do a lot, though may potter in the garden if it stays sunny. Serious lack of motivation at present, possibly an effect of my cancelled holiday, worries me but not enough to make me do much.

Good wishes to all those going on holiday, visiting family etc.

Morning from DS and family from Co Durham with a light sky so I hope a trip out for a little ramble or playground will happen for some fresh air.

Yesterday it was taxi central with all the children invited out for parties but some nice play was had. Monopoly with the 10 yr old and cuddles and tumbles with the 4 and 6 yr old pretending to be a crocodile. DS2 is very severely disabled but Mum and Dd have brought on her speech incredibly well (she can only see a tiny bit, close up) and she is loved and happy.

I've just been jumped on by 4 yr old so have the best days you can xx

Good morning Mick and everyone from a sunny but chilly south Hants ?

Lovely day spent with DGDs yesterday although sadly one is poorly with tonsillitis bless her. We had a gentle day with much hilarity bathing DDog and then at DDog having the zoomies afterwards ?

Quick dip in today as DH is waiting with DDog for his walk … they’re waiting on me!
Will look in later and read your posts. Thoughts with those that have aches and pains ??
Have the best day you can.
Hugs and ? for you all x

Good morning Mick and everyone from dull Carlisle.
It was lovely yesterday with really hot sun. I did a little shopping in Sainsbury's early on then pottered about the rest of the day, reading the papers and carrying on with bulb and bedding plant planting after lunch.
Today is indoor pottering, I've various little jobs the first of which will be defrosting the kitchen freezer now I have the new one in the garage.

I hope everyone has an enjoyable day and welcome to you mummytummy

Morning all from sunny S Hants’ 9 deg, later up, t shirts put away bed stripped and me showered before I came downstairs where MrJ had put the heating on.
Welcome mummytummy.
Enjoy your holidays GG and Shazza a good time for a warmer break. We have friends going to Malta for 2 months in January.
Enjoy your day all ??

BlueSaphire badgers? Marydoll I have the same problem as I have a cataract developing and find night lights blinding.

Good morning from Sefton. It's cloudy with hints of brightness.

A quiet day today after a grand night out with our sons & their wives. Their musical theatre company were celebrating 50 years so we were treated to lots of lovely singing during the evening. Such a lot of talent.

We get lots of geese flying over Shazza, on their way to local nature reserves. I think your husband may be onto something, they do "chat" a lot and loudly. ?

Happy holidays to those on their travels. ((Hugs)) to those that need them.

Good morning everyone from a bright Northampton. Should stay dry today, so will cut the back grass this afternoon before it gets too long. Something has been digging holes in it and tearing out huge pieces of turf, so some repair work needs doing.

Will draw a veil over yesterday's rugby - we played well in the first half and went in after half-time with a good lead, but it was all downhill after that. And then I had to wait half an hour for a bus home.

Going to try bacon in the air-fryer this morning, I hear it is very good. Just wondering if I can heat an M&S chicken pie in it for dinner tonight.

Have a lovely and peaceful Sunday everyone.

Hi Urms. Leeds Bradford do fly to Menorca in fact my parents flew out of there last Friday. They are staying in the next resort to us so we will be spending a week together.
It was a good offer to go from Manchester. X

Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow, where it is currently 10°C.

Like you Greyduster, I am out of sorts after a dreadful episode of night terrors and a bout of nausea. All I could think about in the middle of the night was being well enough to go to DD2's for lunch. Thank goodness for my stash of anti nausea medication.
DS' in laws have been invited too, to peruse the wedding photos with us. It has taken ages for them to be ready.
We get on well with them, so it promises to be a pleasant afternoon.
As designated driver, I will need to be back before it gets dark, my cataracts make it difficult to see at night, I find the car headlights blinding now.

GG, I hope you have a lovely holiday. DH's golf partner and the Ebay queen are off to Malaga this morning. ?
We know they got up in time to go to the airport, for their house alarm went off at 3.30am. ?
Its lovely to hear of all the holidays, I admit to being a tad envious.
Once my biopsy results eventually come back, ( it's now shockingly ten weeks of waiting), DH and I plan a few British holidays. Being uninsurable now, has ruled out any foreign holidays.
We each have a very long bucket list, but need to compromise first! ?

As always those in the sick bay are always in my thoughts.
A warm welcome to mummytummy
Wishing you all a pleasant Sunday.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 8° and cloudy. Yesterday was a glorious day. Bright and beautiful with that wonderful light you get as the world turns to autumn. I had breakfast with a chum at the garden centre. They have a lovely restaurant. Then I bought bulbs and some colourful plant pots for the house. Madness overtook me and I bought a Maidenhair fern and an African violet. I am not good with ferns but it looked so pretty. Oh well. I took my friend home as she rarely drives now and we sat in her lounge and drank tea and blethered. In the afternoon I got the housework done and watched strictly at night.
Today I will have to go to Aldi for food then plant up the bulbs. I fancy baking so I'll see what I have in the cupboard. Have a good day all.

Good morning from a sunny Pollensa after a very stormy night, electricity is back on so I can get a coffee and the electric gates will open so we can get out later.
Slept awkwardly so shoulders and hip very achy, will take a pill, I might just have to be lazy and read another book ( for a change)
Hope everyone has a good day

Here’s Matt.

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s still and quiet this Sunday morning in Urmston town centre. Three workmen in high viz jackets are painting the railings purple at the train station opposite. A train to Liverpool Lime Street has just pulled into Platform 2.

We didn’t stay over to mind the children in the end - there was a change of plan and so we were able to leave around 8pm.

We are going over the road for a curry with my stepfather at 3pm. He was very amenable to the idea and I don’t have to cook. Yay!

Lesson No. 5 “Plant the Seed”

Hope you have a wonderful holiday GG13 in Arroyo. I love that buzzy little town. I expect you’ll be out-and-abouting, visiting old haunts.

You too Shazza. That’s a marathon journey to get a flight! I would have thought Leeds Bradford airport would have been easier - or do they not fly to Menorca?

Enjoy your Sunday all who can.

Morning Mick, morning All. Light cloud over our corner of Somerset

Stayed this side of the bridge yesterday as our friend felt too poorly to go ahead with our plans. She was disappointed, we’re concerned as she’s not the best at self care. Met our family at a mid way shopping centre for a coffee and chat, handed over birthday and anniversary gifts. Enjoyed their company for an hour before going our separate ways. We decided to visit an NT property on the way home which was very enjoyable in warm sunshine

Faffing around today I think, some tidying desperately needed.

Good luck wishes to your family for tomorrow grandmattie, a hectic day ahead for them. Safe travels to those on the move, have a wonderful time to those on or going on holiday. Special thoughts to all finding life hard going.

Hope Sunday is kind to us all.

Good morning all from dry but cloudy South Lanarkshire.

What a glorious day yesterday turned out to be, there was real heat in the sun when I was tramping the fields with daft dug.

Church today, our last temporary priest was with us for almost a year before being moved on. Our new temp is Nigerian and last week touched lightly on the horrors still being carried out by Boku Haram around his home town. He hopes to be able to stay here and who could blame him.

We may pop over later to see DD’s family and check out how their building work is progressing.

Have a good Sunday everyone and safe travels to those lucky folk going off on holiday.

Good morning from sunny Colchester where it'll reach 15° later. We had a downpour yesterday afternoon but the sky is clear ATM.
Yet another quiet day here.
We'll walk to Aldi for a couple of bits and probably have a Sunday roast later. Maybe finish the weeding that was disturbed by yesterday's rain.
DH will be glad there isn't another epic Strictly episode today. He's happy with Country file and Attenborough.
Love to all ? x

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s dry but it looks quite breezy
I had a lovely day yesterday, I met up with DD2 and DGD in town and then did a bit of shopping. Nothing planned for today, I hope to get a FaceTime call with DS later as we usually speak on a Sunday.
Happy holidays and safe travels to GG, Shazza and anyone else I might have missed.
Hope everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a brightening South Yorkshire though I don’t think we’ll see a lot of the sun today. I stayed at DD’s last night but slept badly and feel very out of sorts. I promised GS I would watch his football match this morning, and then we are booked to have lunch out. All I actually want to do is go home, but I don’t want to disappoint them.
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning all from Scarborough- haven’t looked out of the window to see what the weather is like, but rain did stop play (my shopping) in town yesterday. We are probably heading for Bridlington or Filey today. Good that you are taking it easy Mick for the time being anyway.
Safe journey Grannygravy
Have the best day possible folks

Thankyou Grandmadinosaur speak soon x
