Good morning from another beautiful sunny day in Oxfordshire.

We are off to Bristol to take MissOopsie to lunch and see how she is settling into University life, taking a ‘Red Cross parcel’ (as my Mum used to call her bags of food that she always brought up to us) of homemade cakes and some bits and pieces, I think we will have to drop her back to her Halls as the bag is quite heavy. We haven’t seen her since July so it will be good to catch up.

Have a lovely day everyone and hugs for those who aren’t so chipper.

Good morning everyone from a beautiful clear sunny Algarve. I don’t sleep well generally but last night was extreme with not dozing off until after 4.00am and awake again by 8.00. I knew I wanted to watch the Lisbon Marathon as my grandson is competing., DH blithely said “Go back to sleep.” before switching the television on! I’ve not exactly got a chance to see him in the crowd so I’ll catch up with family photographs later. DD and SiL and grandsons partner are staying in Lisbon to support him. ShazzaKanazza I don’t know your backstory but I do hope you get together with your grandson one day. ?.

I’m glad you had such a moving and beautiful day grandMattie.

Good hear, Greyduster, thank goodness!

Sorry, I meant to say Happy Birthday and also Congratulations to PittCity. Have a beautifull day. ??

Good morning from sunny Chelmsford, where we have woken up in a hotel room. Today is my birthday and our wedding anniversary ( done on purpose so DH has no excuse to forget)
My ACs had planned a surprise dinner with 30 of our close family last night. They led me off the trail by taking me to Bingo followed by a cocktail in Colchester yesterday afternoon. DS then drove us to Chelmsford.
DSiL is driving us home after breakfast and we'll spend the rest of the day recovering.
Thank you for your good wishes. I really enjoy all the love on GN.
Sending love and virtual hugs to you all ? x

Good morning from sunny Sefton at the moment, I don't think it'll last.
A late start for me after a disturbed night. It always makes me feel groggy so it's a good job it's a no plans day. If it stays dry I will potter in the garden.

Wishing you all the best day possible.

Good morning Mick and everyone from sunny but nippy Carlisle. We are due a storm and rain around lunchtime so I'm aiming to pop out shortly and plant a few more bulbs in the front border. I was out there yesterday afternoon topdressing my pathetic lawn with the composted down turves from the back lawn. Full of lovely worms!
Other than that, a lazy day finishing off the papers is to follow.

Good to hear your news about your little one Greyduster. I hope he's soon home.
And have a lovely day, Pittcity.

A pleasant Sunday to all of you.

Good morning from a sunny NE ?
Family came yesterday but not GD1, she stayed at home to get on with her art, her college course demands a lot of her time. GD2 went for a walk with her parents to photograph the colours of autumn, she got some beautiful pictures. I think she said it was for a photography competition. She came home with a pocket full of conkers.
I made a large cottage pie and we had dinner together before GD retired to the music room to practise the piano, the moonlight sonata is coming along very nicely.
She told me that her tutor was entering her for a music scholarship, not sure whether that means a reduction in school fees or just the music tuition.
SIL is coming this afternoon and we are going to a concert by the London Philharmonic.
Dinner tonight is Tartiflette courtesy of Michel Roux, SIL took delivery from Dishpatch so that we didn't have to cook from scratch.
Happy Birthday and anniversary Pittcity flowers
Have a good day all.

A late good morning from a bright but chilly looking North Leicestershire.

I had an awful night so will try to get some sleep today. Best wishes to everyone.

Good morning from sunny Sefton by the sea.
My part of the decorating is complete - the pasting table to which I have been tied it seems is now back in the garage, thank goodness. Today, as DH emulsions I’ll potter, quite possibly knit some more ventilator hats for our local SCBU. The ultimate test is if the hat will fit a satsuma. Thinking of these little ones thriving, like yours Greyduster, fills me with joy. “One step closer to the car park” has made my day. Fantastic comment from granddad.
?
Congratulations Pittcity. ???
Enjoy your hols Sago.
Have a good day everyone.

Good Morning everyone from Severnside. It’s still fairly dark but I can see it’s cloudy.

Wishing you a Happy Birthday Pittcity and also Happy Anniversary to you and MrP. ??

I’ve several things I want to do today so it might be a case of writing them down and ticking them off.

Have a good day all and enjoy your roasts ???

Good morning Mick and everyone. A cold bright morning in this corner of Lancashire.

So lovely to read of happy family times together. Great news about the wee man Greyduster. I hope the jabs haven’t knocked you back too far Marydoll, make sure you get some rest today.

We were late to bed and I had a disturbed night full of strange dreams, so a lazy Sunday here.

Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary Pittcity flowers

Have the best day you can all smile

Good morning Mick and all from a dull northwest coast.
Feeling “off” after covid booster yesterday and didn’t go to the show last night but fell asleep in the chair…
After the jab and before the effects hit me, I managed to buy some food and a black trouser suit, but think I have lost a list which was not only shopping but a painstaking list of all sorts of different things.
I forgot to mention, the other night my very good next door neighbour, about 9 o’clock said he didn’t want to alarm me, but he thought someone had attempted to enter the front of their house. He thought it was maybe a one off. Their dog barked and all was ok. So I just put my outside lights on, made sure everything was securely locked and kept the phone with me. Strangely, since DH died, this sort of thing doesn’t bother me.
So a quiet day for me and thoughts to all with troubles.
Will read through later.
