Good Morning Monday 24th October 2022

Morning Mick, morning All. Too dark to see much out there but it looks as if our corner of Somerset is dry

Finally got the curtains changed yesterday. All set for the colder weather now.

Family coming today. Mr C will be kept busy as he’s our grandsons favourite playmate. Looking forward to seeing them all.

Special thoughts for those managing worries. . Hope Monday is kind to us all.

Good morning from a still dark E Kent. This time next week, I shall be complaining of jet lag from the time change…
DLks dog came to visit yesterday afternoon together with the lady looking after her.
I changed the beds and towel as well. The new tumble drier isn’t as efficient as the old one. ?
Busy today. DL’s very bossy friend is coming for a few days. She’ll be staying at DL’s house, but eating here. And another friend is coming this afternoon! I shall take the opportunity to lunch out with one of my own friends and go to the supermarket.
Carpe diem everyone. ???❤️

Good morning from a calm, dry Torbay.

Enjoy your family day, cornergran, and I expect lunch out will be a welcome break for you, grandMattie. I hope the extra person for meals is helpful and curbs her bossiness!

My final Lidl shop today as I’m required to isolate this week in readiness for hospital. Tonight I shall have my last social engagement: our theatre AGM!

I hope this week is good, especially for our younger folk on half term breaks. ?????

Good morning everyone from a still dark Northampton, where at least it's dry. Yesterday's rain was terrible here and on our journey to Staffordshire, but it had stopped by the time we got to our destination.

It was a lovely day out, lunch on a steam train, luxury first class dining carriages, and a three course roast dinner with wine. I had good company as my friend and her husband invited me to share their table, and we were joined by a sprightly gentleman of 90, who was enjoying his 290th day out with the tour company! To crown it all the sun came out so that we could enjoy the beautiful countryside.

An uneventful journey home until we reached the outskirts of Northampton when the heavens opened accompanied by thunder and lightning! All arrived home safely despite the weather. Looking forward to my next coach trip next month.

No yoga this morning, so have decided to have a day out in Milton Keynes; I have something to return to one of the stores and also have vouchers to spend.

Hope all have a good Monday.

Good morning all from me Scottish Borders.
It's still dark but is very mild.
gMattie your house has been taken over! I hope you don't feel taken advantage of.
Ash this must be a worrying time for you. Take care
I did some of my paperwork yesterday so feel more in control and the plumber came to talk me through my new central heating system.
I saw the anti war film "Benediction" at our community cinema last night. It's the story of the poet Sigfreid Sassoon. (sp?)

The half term holidays are over and DGS has his Nat5 prelims soon.

Hope everyone finds some joy this week.

Morning all from West Oxfordshire. Waitrose trip today and laundry. Typical Monday really. I am looking forward to our new lounge curtains being delivered this week, hopefully. I need to replenish our ice cream stock! Elder son and his family are coming for the weekend and lemon is our granddaughter’s favourite. My GP is back from her holiday today so wonder when she’ll read through all my various medical reports. OH has lots of medical issues to sort out this week. I hope he gets some answers. Oh, I expect I’ll be watching the Parliament channel today

Good morning from a dark Leicestershire.

Pilates first thing then they are coming to fix the new awning, the last one broke after 25 years!

Wishing everyone a good day.

Good morning from a dark & dry Sefton.

A successful pumpkin pick yesterday. The rain stopped just as we got there. Thank you Nannagarra your 'lull' reached us just in time. The 2 little girls had a lovely time in the mud & puddles!
Singing group this morning. We shall sing like no one is listening ??.

Hope this the beginning of a good week for everyone.

Morning all from 4 miles from dragonfly where the weather is, surprisingly, pretty similar.

DD2 and co are off on holiday this morning. It has been lovely having them here but very tiring.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning all from Ibiza. It’s light with a pale blue sky and a warm day ahead.

We were met with that very warm plume of air as we stepped off the plane. When we went out for dinner last night it was still lovely and warm no jacket or cardigan required.

We’ve hired a car but with the 2 child seats we can’t all fit in so we are taking turns to make use of it. The family are using it today so a quiet day for us grandparents ?
We haven’t stayed at this resort before so we shall have a gentle stroll and explore.

That sounds like a fabulous day bluesapphire I’d love to do something like that.
Take care everyone.

Forgot to enclose a photo of our view yesterday evening from our balcony.

Try again

Good morning from a damp and blustery Colchester where it's just starting to get light.
It's half term so DH is off on Duke of Edinburgh award stuff. He'll be home tonight and then off again for a few days.
I have a quiet day today catching up on bits and bobs and will cook the first stew of the season for tonight.
Love to all ? x

Good morning from a dark Oxfordshire, it was a busy day yesterday and due to an upset one of number went home. Sigh….
More of the same today.
Hope the sun shines on us all and hugs for those who aren’t so chipper.

Good morning from a damp Essex by the sea.
DH agreed to go to Stansted Airport to pick his daughter up yesterday evening. Her flight was delayed for hours and he finally got home at 05.30 this morning. I've left him sleeping.
Not a lot planned for today.
Best wishes to you all and have a lovely day xx

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s still dark and looks rainy
Sounds like your getting very well prepared for your operation Ashcombe hoping the isolation isn’t too boring and all goes well later
I’ve a busy day planned today, a Zumba class at the gym and then a dip in the pool, a trip to Tesco and to round it all off a dental hygienist appointment. We’ve visitors arriving tomorrow, my stepson, his wife, step DGS and DGD, we’re looking forward to seeing them, we all get on really well. Oh and they’re bringing their dog too!
Beautiful photo grandmadinosaur thanks for sharing and enjoy your holidays
Oh dear Oops these things happen, hope it blows over quickly
Hope everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good Morning Mick and everyone from Hull. I heard a lot of rain in the night.

We’ve just had a video through of GD opening her birthday presents. 4 today. She was funny yesterday. She chose the marble run we thought the V tech one would be good. Grandad put it together and she declared ‘is that it’ I think she was expecting one Six foot tall with 20,000 marbles.
At ours Grandad was dressing her and he said ‘why am I dressing you when you can do it yourself’ she said ‘I know Grandad but I thought it would be a nice treat for you to dress me’

Grandmadinosaur what a view. Enjoy your day exploring your resort.

grandMattie you are going to be ready for a holiday when your DL has moved out. ?

Hope Marydoll is feeling a little better today.

Have the best day possible and virtual hugs to those weighed down with stress. ??

good morning from a very soggy s somerset

seems as though there will be a nice day ahead and I shall take things as they come. Back ups of knitting, reading and sewing, I love those hobbies

I sorted the pull out larder yesterday, was a satisfying job and I have enough food for winter, whatever happens

Good morning everyone. Overcast but not raining here in N. Bucks.
A day at home for me. DD3 will be bring their dog over as he is staying with us whilst they are on holiday. Our two DGSs will be with her so an hour of fun with them too.
Otherwise I’ll put a wash load on and do a bit of baking and probably some craft.
Hope this week is a good one for all, especially for those with health issues.

Morning all

Half-term here so we are busy, busy busy. I shall need a holiday by Saturday ?

Have your best day folks ?‍♀️?

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 10° and cloudy. I'm not sure what the forecast holds for today. Grandmadinosaur lovely photo. Have a good time. Brook you are a very fit and active person!
I didn't do much yesterday but pottered about. Today I'm off out early to take dgs1 to nursery as dd's car is in the garage. After that, I intend to do some garden tidying. Have a good day all.

Morning all from a dark and cloudy Glasgow, where its 11°C.

Another quiet day is planned, MrMD has been very solicitous and has been spoiling me.
We had planned to go away next week for a few days to a hotel beside the Forth Rail Bridge, which had been on my bucket list, but DH rightly feels we should cancel it, as he is worried I will struggle.
I'm so disappointed, but I know in my heart he is right. ☹

I bought a jumper, which I really like, but it has enormous voluminous sleeves, which would enable me to fly, if I wanted to do so! ?
I'm going to try and take in the sleeves. That is my only task for today.

Ash, make the best of your last day of freedom.
Enjoy your day folks, whatever your plans.

Good morning everyone from Severnside where it is a grey miserable day with rain.
I had a lovely weekend with Beechnutella taking part in a preparation event that is happening in the village next weekend. We later had a lovely meal in an Italian restaurant where DD then forgot her PIN number. We spent the rest of the evening elbow deep in washing up water ? My journey home was dry thankfully.

Today I’ll do some washing, some medical stuff and my physio exercises.

Have the best day you can all ?☂️

Belated anniversary wishes to the NanKates ?

A beautiful photo Grandmadino
