Good Morning Monday 17th October 2022

Good morning all from East Yorkshire.

What lovely news Marydoll many congrats to the parents to be.

A quiet day for me just a hair appointment and a couple of phone calls to make.

Hope your DGS will be on the mend Georgesgran what a worry that must have been.

Safe travels Urms

Good Morning from an overcast but milder S Yorks.

Today is the only day without actual "must do's" so I'd like to catch up o some admin and do a bit of Massive Mammoth Task clearing garage out.
Sigh. (Its part Asbestos and Something Has to Be Done - not sure yet as have garden tools and no where else to store atm.)

Ashcombe appalled by that vicar! I hope the funeral is a real proper and loving "good-bye".

Safe travel Urmstonegran.

Good news Marydoll

Best days possible all.

What wonderful news Marydoll! ?

Good morning all - dark and vey still here in Essex.
Dh has just left to take the car in for its MOT. He’ll get the bus back but won’t be able to use his bus pass as it’s too early. It makes him furious and I know he’ll make some remark to the driver ! ?.

We had a lovely breakfast with DS2 yesterday and ds1 came too. It was so nice to have my 2 boys all to myself.
Popped round to DS1’s for a cuppa in the afternoon, as we haven’t seen the girls for ages. DGD 2 was there but dgd3 was out at a friends. How things change as they get older !

I’ve been achey since my jabs but hopefully that will pass .

Marydoll what fabulous news of a new grand- baby. ??.

Urms safe journey and enjoy your time away. I love that cartoon - so true!
Our neighbour pops to the station every morning to get us and himself a Metro. ?.

Ash hope the funeral goes well. What a very strange vicar to be so narrow minded! I can’t understand his reasoning about when you re-marry! ?

Wishing you all a ‘good’ day ?

Ginster for £1 we can use our bus pass early they bought it in for pensioners with early appointments at hospitals and such like.

Good morning from damp Leicestershire.

Having a survey for sonar panels today as we face south at the back and have a large roof but I am not convinced.

I am shocked at your previous Vicar’s attitude Ashcombe but not surprised. It is one of the reasons I have steered clear of organised religion.

Looks like the sun is coming out - have the best day everyone.

Good morning all from damp South Lanarkshire.

Vet visit for daft dug this morning, that’s all the excitement for today.

How lovely Marydoll, congratulations to your DS & DiL.

Safe travels Urms, enjoy the sunshine.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Morning from a blowy S Lanarkshire. Have just scanned posts so far and caught your good news Marydoll, lovely news, I’ll read properly later when I get home from Book club which I was asked to lead at the last minute and as a result had to spend most of yesterday reading the book! Sod’s law since I normally read it in plenty time.

I was so glad to see yesterday Ashcombe that your friend and neighbour has found a new home nearby, I had been wondering if things had worked out for her.

Hope you get help and advice Mick, you are having a time of it just now.

Safe journey Urmstongran and good wishes to all???

Thanks Monk. - I’ll tell him to enquire! ?

Wonderful news Marydoll so pleased and big congratulations to your DS and DiL
Hoping your DGS is feeling much better soon Georgesgran

What wonderful news, Marydoll.
Ash, I’m not her one who can’t understand the rational of the ‘old’ vicar. Well done for telling him what you thought!
Bon voyage, Urms.❤️

Great to start the week with Marydoll’s good news, a reminder that life goes on despite political turmoil and a world which seems set on self destruction. Lovely morning and I have a U3A talk this morning and Flower Club this evening so a busy day with lots of social contact. Hope everyone has a good one.

Good morning Mick and everyone from a dull ( but trying to be sunny) Oxfordshire. mick as others have advised give the JR a call, the medication might be essential to your upcoming op. I hope you have a better day today.
Marydoll excellent news Congratulations to you all.
Urms safe travels, I envy you, MrOops was so well when we were in Majorca, now all his aches and pains are back again. I can see more weeks spent in the sun.
Cleaning day today.
Have a good day everyone, good wishes for those who are having a tough time.

Good morning Mick and everyone from bright sunny Carlisle. I hope it stays that way.
I'm another who advises consultation before tweaking your meds, Mick, however tempting it may be to do so. Hopefully you feel better today.

Today is the usual Monday of laundry and housework, I like to get the bulk of it out of the way at the beginning of the week though it's not set in tablets of stone. If something better comes up.....
I overdid it the garden yesterday, too much digging about in the corner of my garden where I have really heavy impermeable clay. With all the heavy rain lately, the water table is practically at ground level. It is difficult to pace yourself...as discussed on another thread. I'll give it a rest for a day or three.

Wishing you all the best possible day.

And congratulations to you and your family Marydoll, another wee one on the way!

Good morning Mick and all who follow and hearty congratulations to Marydoll - what amazing news!
It's a lovely autumn morning again on the Angus coast - where I have just watched some beautiful roe deer crossing the field. One was just about 50 yards away and stopped to stare at me before leaping agilely away across the stubble. Needless to say my sleep addled brain didn't work fast enough for me to take a photo! (I have a picture in my memory though).
We had a glorious day at St Andrews yesterday - but my goodness! That wind!! It was just on the cusp of being too windy for the sand yachting, which would have been very disappointing for the Teens. I found the wind exhausting though and after three hours in it I was more than glad to get back to the cars!! A stop off for fish 'n chips rounded off a glorious day, and I'm glad to say Dancing GD's driving was excellent, much better than her control of the sand yacht ?
This morning I still feel the effects of the wind buffeting, so a quiet day with only a short trip down into the town in prospect and I shall enjoy a guilt-free couple of hours watching Countdown and Escape to the country this afternoon.
I hope everyone's day has its moment of gladness, and bon voyage to Urms who is guaranteed a few weeks of ?

Good morning everyone from Kent where it is grey and damp.

DH golfing this morning so will come back later to tell me of his exploits on the golf course - good and bad! I am off to my art group this morning. We all enjoy it and the chat which accompanies our artist creations.

Wonderful news Marydoll; lovely to hear about such good news. Safe travels Urms, liked the photo.

Hope everyone who can has a good day.

Lovely news Marydoll .I'm meeting friend for a walk this morning if rain stays away .Hope your grandson soon improved Georgesgran. Have a good journey Urms.

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

I was saddened to learn of the death of a friend yesterday. He was a fellow brain injury survivor and we met at a conference some years ago. A warm and wonderful man, he made it his mission to educate people about living with brain injury. He had a podcast in addition to his speaking engagement. He will be missed by his wife and daughters and many friends.

Thinking of Baggs and all with troubles.

Happy Monday, have the best day you can all ?

Good morning all from a chilly Glasgow but sunny.

A few bits and pieces to do today including a quick trip to Waitrose as DD1 and the girls are coming for dinner and staying over. DD1 is having new windows installed today and as GDs are off for October week, getting up and organised for 8am is not part of their plan!?. DH is looking forward to having his girls around again.

Such lovely news Marydoll. I am delighted for you and well done on keeping the secret. Phew. Enjoy you girls night out. Bon appétit.
Resting is so boring isn’t it kitty? What about a fun day practicing going up and down the stairs, that would be thrilling. ??‍♀️

Have a pleasant day all.

Good morning all from a blustery Co Armagh, it was blowing a hooley all night ,
We usually go shopping on a Monday, but not today , bit too blowy for gardening , I’ll get on with the crochet , I’m doing a big granny square to use up some of my stash . Coincidently it matches the curtain colours here in the living room
Delighted with your news Marydoll , you did well to keep that secret !

What lovely news Marydoll, how did you manage to keep quiet?? Hope all goes smoothly for your DiL

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders.
10°c and very windy. I waited in yesterday for viewers to my wee flat but only one turned up. Today there are 3 more booked.
There's an acute housing shortage especially for students in Edinburgh so it's mostly post graduates who are looking.
The one yesterday came with husband and baby.

What wonderful news for you all Marydoll
And you will to be able to talk about it and start knitting or looking at baby clothes.
Dollie will be thrilled.
My DGD had a new baby cousin a few weeks ago and the 5yr old was teaching baby nursery rhymes.
I hope you get good advice Mick from the doctor. Take it easy.

Safe journey to your other home Urms
That priest sounds awful Ash I hope he's not conducting the service.

Best wishes to you all for a happy week.

Good morning from Essex by the sea where the sun is trying to break through the clouds.

A busy day yesterday. The boys had a rugby tournament, then round to DH's eldest daughter for Birthday cake for his birthday last Friday then a visit to the pub to watch his team win.

Housework this morning and probably start a new cross stitch this afternoon.

Huge congratulations to Marydoll, her son and daughter in law, what lovely news.

Have a marvellous Monday whatever you may find yourself doing xx

Good Morning all from bright and dry Harrogate
How wonderful, Marydoll, you will be thrilled and something for you to look forward to.
Safe journey Urms I'll envy your glorious weather!
Does that vicar gets points for losing members of the congregation, Ashcombe is the church still open?
I had plans to watch my church service online yesterday, but because it was a Brownies, Guides Scouts etc service it wasn't allowed to be online. Anyway I feel better today (thank goodness) I've had my shower, had a TV fixed and got a wash on. Shortly I'll have a chat with my friend that I met up with in Edinburgh. This afternoon my repairer is bringing a pump for the Tumble Dryer, he'll also fit in the washing machine when I find one. Hoping to go to John Lewis in Leeds to see what they have in stock later this week.
Have the best day possible folks!
