Good Morning Friday 7th October 2022

Good Morning from S Yorks.

Gosh all you busy grans!
I have my Covid booster and then a visit to a clinic to see if I can have an unsightly face mole thingy (benign, but not pretty) removed. May go for a swim first.

Bests for all with a tough day, and may families, friends, and coffee and cakes be enjoyed, cars found, ironing done, and crafts happily crafted.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 11°. Still cloudy, still damp. Baubles it's good that your day at work went well. Kittylester small victories. I feel your frustration! Grandmattie I'm glad you got sorted out with the nativity pattern.
Yesterday I had a friend visiting for coffee in the morning. I had made pear and ginger muffins and they were very moreish. Later on dd asked if I would look after dgs2 to let her go shopping. The wee mite has a horrible cold and wasn't himself. I think there will be a doctor's appointment today as he has a sore cough and is wheezy.
Tonight I'm going to the Armadillo in Glasgow to see James Taylor. I'm looking forward to it as the concert has been postponed for a couple of years. I'm going with my friend and her partner as I can't do motorway driving at night because of my cataract. It'll be a quiet day until then. Have a good day all.

Good morning all .
Very achey and tired yesterday and today. If I’d had my Covid/flu jabs I would think it was that, but mine aren’t due until next week ?.

Shopping this morning and Friday friends meet up for lunch in our usual country pub.

Sar hope you have a trouble free journey ?.
GG pickles, chutney and hams! Lovely Christmas smells! ?

Wishing you all a good day! ?

Did I say it was raining?? It’s turned into a monsoon - I hope other North East GNs have battened down the hatches!

Good morning Mick and everyone from Carlisle where I woke to heavy rain. It has now eased off but is still very cloudy.
Yesterday was beautifully sunny so I spent some time in the garden, mowing the lawn out front and planting bulbs plus putting in a blackberry bush out back in my soft fruit border.
I was going to nip into town this morning but the weather has put me off so I think some retail therapy online is due. I'm also agonising over what to do with my hair! I'm getting to dislike it being past my collar so I shall probably end up getting it cut, next week maybe.
Well, I'm off to do various little jobs including putting away the rest of my summer clothes and my sandals so I'll wish you all the best possible day.

Good morning all. It's a beautiful morning in the Angus coast and the washing is on. I'm off to meet up with my niece for a good old catch-up and then an appointment with the hairdresser - both good for the soul!
Yesterday's tai chi was so enjoyable - as always - and it was lovely having the coffee break again. Here's hoping COVID doesn't raise its head too viciously again and this time we can move forward steadily.
This weekend is Dancing GD's first intensive workshop with Youth Dance Scotland. What a week she's having! And in the way of the young she is fitting in a concert this evening. And no, she is not using the car!! As I have said before, I live my life vicariously through the DGDs - and I'm exhausted already!!
I'm sorry I haven't mentioned anyone individually but send congratulations and hugs as appropriate. Have a good day all x

Good morning from the NE where it is monsoon season.
No plans for today except to get ahead with housework and cooking in preparation for the family visit tomorrow.
DD is still suffering with covid, she says the effort of just getting downstairs to make a cup of tea is making her heart pound and her head throb. She is having a new roof fitted and being a mid-terrace house the workmen have to carry everything through the house. There are no back lanes or access.
Thoughts are with Baggs.

Good morning Mick and everyone. A grey and gloomy morning in this corner of Lancashire.

Nothing special planned for today. Any lingering pain in my arm from the double jabs has cleared The usual routine of housework, physio exercises, Gaelic studies and reading. I can hear the robot vacuum cleaner running around the hallway, it’s on a timer. If only it could do stairs!

Fish and chips in the air fryer here too, a homemade ‘chippy tea’ sounds perfect for Friday.

Thinking of all with trials and tribulations today, especially Baggs. I hope the day is good to us all

Good morning everyone from a sunny autumnal Co Armagh
Hair cut this afternoon, but just got an email that my parcel will be delivered today , I asked for tomorrow ! Oh well , I hope it’s before or after my outing !
Here’s hoping for a good day for us all xxx

Good morning from a sunny W Kent. Off for a supermarket shop and then GS care this afternoon.
All the best to everyone struggling along.

Good morning all from cloudy but breezy Harrogate
Supposed to be wet, so planning to stay in today
Glad you are managing better Kittylester little steps!
Do take careMarydoll and look after yourself.
Today I think I’ll be baking this morning and caring up on TV this afternoon. Had DGS yesterday who has decided she doesn’t like school especially reading and writing, but maths she likes! I wouldn’t let her put the TV on until after we did and activity- so we did some colouring. Then I let her watch TV.
Had my zoom call, my sister thought she was moving next week, but her buyer has suddenly decided the ceilings have asbestos in them and he wants a reduction in the price!! Two ceilings have anaglypta on them which contains a minute amount of asbestos.
It’s a bit mean waiting to the exchange of contracts to bring this up!!
Have the best day possible folks

Work on the drive continues but at least I can get out of the house easily now. Off to shop for lunch for visitors tomorrow but nothing else planned. Had lovely video chat with GD1 at university including “tour” of her room. Good to see her so positive and enthused.

Thinking of the Baggs family and hope the news continues go be good.

Good morning all from Glasgow. Yesterday’s weather was torrential rain and high winds and it looks like we are in for a repeat today again. I do miss popping out and pottering in the garden but I will keep busy indoors making a start on the list of winter projects.

GD2 has gone down with a moderate case of tonsillitis. She is already booked in to have her adenoids removed. I don’t know if a full T&A will be decided but I doubt it as she isn’t prone to tonsillitis.
Boosters for DH and me plus a neighbouring couple, four of us at the exact same time this afternoon, quite the social event?
You did it kitty! One more hurdle ticked ✔️
Pleased to hear yesterday went well for you baubles
Enjoy your concert tonight Grandmabatty, you lucky besom.
I don’t envy you having to drive in the dark in such horrible conditions last night Marydoll. I could do it if I had to but given the choice, I feel more comfortable driving in daylight.
Thought are with you and your DD Baggs x

Wishing a good day to all and hopefully a light at the end of the tunnel can be seen for those struggling through.

Torrential rain here too now! ? ☔️

Good morning Mick and all from a dull northwest coast.
I have come to the library to do a little study on new songs (not to keep warm!) before run through this afternoon. Easier to concentrate here. Sandwiches made too.
Feeling a tad tired after broken night and not sure what plans bro make for the weekend. Covid jab tomorrow.
Thoughts to those with troubles and will read through later.

Good morning all,

Bright, dry and blustery here at the moment. Showers are forecast, but I hope they hold off for a bit as I’ve got the hairdresser to go to shortly.

Other than that, not sure what’s on the agenda, but it might include going out for a spot of lunch.

Take care everyone and those of you feeling unwell or with troubles, I hope that today brings some relief. ?
