Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark but dry here in brackley this morning.
Yesterdays outing on buses did not quite go to plan , due a bus not turning up when in Buckingham so caught next one ,and then rushed about .
Today usual day in TV, have some lunch and slowly adjust back to GMT .
Take Care,
Mick

Good Morning Mick and everyone from a still very dark North Yorkshire. Was up before 6 (new time) may yet go back to bed. Thank you to all for the good wishes and hopes for my new grand-twins who are now doing well and out of hospital again as of yesterday. Will be visiting today and having a cuddle so looking forward to that. Had flu and Covid jabs Thurs, really knocked me for 6. Felt really tired and yucky Friday and yesterday but feel a bit more normal so far this morning. Hoping to get some more stuff done in the garden today weather permitting. Hoping everyone has the best day they can and the sun comes out where you are.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Guess who forgot to put them clocks back and then got up at six, only it wasn’t six was it🙄? Well I did want an early start today. I am picking my (used) new car up this morning. It will be a wrench to let the old one go, but it’s not practical to keep it. Then it’s back home to cook lunch for DD and her menfolk and hear how GS got on with his D of Ed’s expedition in the soggy Peak District.
Have the best day you can folks.

Greyduster Sun 30-Oct-22 06:07:39

Glad to hear the babies are back at home, Abitbarmy! Enjoy your cuddles!

Good morning, s somerset here. Rain again, I think

I have decided to put a time bubble around myself because I can and being a lark, I want to keep to my basic bodyclock timings. I managed to stay up an extra 30 minutes last night and up at 5 today. That will do me nicely. I would rather be up and about to catch every bit of morning light

Yesterday evolved and so will today. No plans as such

Good Morning Mick and everyone from Hull. It’s going to be dry today.

Abitbarmy enjoy your visit and cuddles with the twins it’s good to hear they are home again.

Hope Ashcombe gets into hospital today and Marydoll feels a little better💐

GDs party went well yesterday. There must have been forty kids and a huge bouncy castle. She looked gorgeous in her party dress. GS was really good he just bounced for an hour avoiding the little ones.

We went for our flu jabs yesterday it was the first one where I didn’t feel a thing. I’ve declined my fourth covid jab perhaps at a later date. DH had both and true to form he’s up in bed ill. Every time it’s happened. He was shaking and violently sick last night. I slept downstairs after making sure he had everything he needed. I’ll give it an hour and go up. We are supposed to be having the DC and DGC over for Halloween this afternoon but that might have to be cancelled. He’s felt worse from the jabs than when we had covid in 2020.

Hoping everyone has a lovely Sunday with family gatherings and delicious lunches. But special thoughts to those with illness and worries weighing them down. 🌻🌻

Morning Mick, morning All from a very damp corner of Somerset.

It’s still dark here. We did change the few manual clocks, oops greyd, although I’m sure you won’t be alone. Mr C is sleeping soundly, as usual I’m not, 5-6 hours is a treat.

Admin for me this morning, Mr C will I suspect be off to his jigsaw. Can always tell the time of year when the jigsaws appear. I’m hoping to persuade our eldest to call when he takes his daughters home, there’s an unwanted stash of craft this and that they have laid claim to, be good for it to be in its way so I can no longer retrieve bits.

Enjoy the different car greyd and lunch with the family. So pleased the twins are home abitbarmy.

Marydoll, hope you feel stronger very soon. A hug to all feeling unwell or burdened with worries. Hope Sunday is kind to us all.

Good morning everyone, it’s dry here in Wiltshire at the moment.
DH and DDog did a 11 mile walk yesterday so I had a quiet evening as both were sound asleep! I did a few chores and then sat and knitted, it was a bit frustrating because at some point I turned the sock and started knitting back along the wrong way but hadn’t noticed until several inches later 🙄
This afternoon I’m off on an art course for a few days, so looking forward to it!
I hope everyone’s day goes well x

grandMattie Sun 30-Oct-22 06:32:14

God morning room a dawning E Kent. H sky isn’t coloured yet, but we have had som spectacular daws recently.
Ash, I hope you are safely in hospital; Marydoll, trust you are feeling a bit better and that you ha some relief from pain.
Nothing happening today. Must rush off for a shower and hair wash, for church at 8.
Carpe diem. 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩

Urmstongran Sun 30-Oct-22 06:37:30

Here’s Matt.

Good morning everyone from Málaga where, although we are an hour ahead, it’s still quite dark at the moment. I assume it’ll be sunny later. I’ve made my own tea. Himself is still snoozing. The seagulls are noisy - I think they always sound as though they are laughing!

There’s Man. Utd playing some time today and F1 racing late evening so the plan is to go out to eat between these two sporting events I suppose. I don’t mind at least I’m not shopping, chopping and cooking.

Glad to hear those babies are home now Abitbarmy but your poor husband. How horrid the jab has been worse than Covid itself for him. Hope Ash is all systems go and that our Marydoll is feeling better today. x

kittylester Sun 30-Oct-22 07:04:40

Good morning a from a drippy, greyish North Leicestershire.

Not a lot happening here today - roast chicken later.

Hope you get into hospital today, Ashcombe and all goes well with the op.

brook2704 Sun 30-Oct-22 07:07:08

Good morning everyone from Cambridge where it looks a bit wet but still seems really warm
Two DGSs are already up so it’ll be a longish day I expect. Yesterday I went into town with DD1 for a quick browse around the shops and then in the afternoon we all all went Pumpkin picking and got some good ones for carving out later.
Hoping Marydoll is feeling better soon and anyone else too feeling a bit poorly
Pleased to hear the party went so well Shazza
Enjoy your special cuddles abitbarmy
Hope everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Pittcity Sun 30-Oct-22 07:07:54

Good morning from rainy Colchester. A few degrees cooler than yesterday when it was 20 and sunny.
The council haven't changed the town hall clock and it's just chimed 8.
I am suffering the effects of too much sugar from yesterday's afternoon tea and still have a scone in a doggy bag for today. We'll pop to Lidl later for some fruit and salad to counteract it!
No other plans today.
Love to all and wishing Ash and Marydoll well 🦩x

Pittcity Sun 30-Oct-22 07:08:43

Meant to add a cake photo!

Oopsadaisy1 Sun 30-Oct-22 07:21:23

Good morning from a gloomy Oxfordshire, or maybe that’s just me, I have all the symptoms of Covid, but have had 2 negative test results so maybe it’s a mild dose of flu, hopefully it will go soon.

Nothing planned today.

Lovely to hear that the twin babies are going home.

Marydoll hope you are feeling a bit better today🌺🌸

Have a good day everyone and hugs to those who aren’t feeling so chipper.

monk08 Sun 30-Oct-22 07:35:46

Good morning all from a bit brighter than of late Black country.
No plans today, will wait to see what DH wants to do when he awakes.
Lovely to hear twins are home enjoy your cuddles.
Ash 🤞 there's a bed for you and all goes to plan.
Enjoy your Sunday everyone and may you all find some 🌞.

Gingster Sun 30-Oct-22 07:37:29

Good morning all and after another glorious sunrise, the clouds are gathering and the forecast is for rain. We haven’t had any here since we came nearly a week ago. Fantastic weather for this time of year and so warm.

We will finish wallpaper stripping this morning . An hour will do it. Thank goodness ! Plasterer coming this afternoon to have a look. I’m sure Dh said he was coming on Monday! 🤔. We’ll see.

I made a tea loaf yesterday. Best yet! I’ll make a pie today with the left over shepherds pie we had yesterday. I’m not a great cook but I do enjoy it.

Ash good luck for today. Hope you get a bed. 🤞
abitbarmy glad to hear the twins are home.👶🏼👶🏼.
Poor Mr Shazza - that’s an extreme reaction. 😫.
Lovely afternoon tea Pittcity . 🧁🫖.

I used to hate the clocks going back when the children were young. It made for such a long day. 🥱. We once arrived for Mass an hour late and Dh arrived for a golf match 2 hours early.

Enjoy your Sundays as much as you can. 🍂🍁🔔

Ashcombe Sun 30-Oct-22 07:42:22

Good morning, all, from a dry but breezy Torbay.

It’s good to read of lovely, normal things going on from folk here. Twin babies are double the fun, I imagine, Abitbarmy. Good luck with the new (to you) car, Greyduster.

I’m expected at the hospital at 4.00 pm unless I receive a call to the contrary so nothing is certain. Not had a great night, unsurprisingly. My kind ex-neighbour is driving me to Plymouth, which is very helpful.

I might not be on here much as phones aren’t allowed in ICU so please don’t worry.

Have a blessed Sunday.

🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Gala Sun 30-Oct-22 07:44:05

Good morning from a dry & brightening Sefton.

A quiet weekend. A potter around a couple of garden centres yesterday morning. Purchases - zero. Must be a first. Then a bit of dust redistribution, read the papers, looked at the ironing. Cooked tea.

Today will be much the same without the visit to the garden centres. Perhaps the ironing will get done. DH will cook tea.

Take care those with worries & troubles. Look after yourselves.

ginny Sun 30-Oct-22 07:48:51

Good morning everyone. Well, I knew the clocks went back but didn’t realise that the bedroom clock did not adjust itself. I was up at 1/4 to 7 washing my hair as I am going out today. We have our monthly scrapbooking day today.
So none of my usual rushing around to get ready.
Glad to hear that the new twins are home.
Hope we hear from *Marydoll *soon.
May all with worries and illness feel some relief and find a smile in their day.

GrannyGravy13 Sun 30-Oct-22 07:50:27

Morning all

Haven’t opened the curtains, sorry no idea what the weather is like. I think this pesky bug is on the way out, but I have absolutely it an ounce of energy so definitely a lazy day here in Gravy Grange.

Wishing you well Ashcombe

Ennius your cuddles abitbarmy

Hoping our Marydoll is resting and able to chat to us soon 💐

Have a restful Sunday 🦩🙋‍♀️

EkwaNimitee Sun 30-Oct-22 07:54:33

Good morning Mick and everyone from a brightish Carlisle where there are small patches of pale blue but I suspect showers are due later. Getting outside? Maybe, maybe not. I've plenty to amuse myself with inside, there's still the weekend papers to finish off.
I went to bed a little later last night but still woke before what my body thought was the usual time. In the end I got up at what was now 6am. I really really wish they'd stop this clock changing.

I hope all goes well with the op Ashcombe and that you're soon home recuperating.
And thinking of Marydoll, hoping you are seeing daily improvements and will be back soon.

Have the best possible day, all.

NanKate Sun 30-Oct-22 07:55:26

Good morning Mick and all.

Grey day here in South Bucks.

Sending good wishes Ash for a safe journey to hospital today and a speedy return to us here on this thread.

Come back to us soon dear Mary you are greatly missed. 💐

Is there room at your table today to help you eat your roast chicken dinner? I’m hungry already. 🍗🍗🥕🥕

Stilllearning Sun 30-Oct-22 07:55:48

Morning from the edge of S Lanarkshire where I’ve been awake in a silent house for ages. Emergency call from DD4 yesterday, could I come and stay with poorly pooch as they were going to be out late. Thankfully he seems fine and he and I had a pleasant evening watching an early episode of Inspector Montelbano!

Delighted babies are home again Abitbarmy, a big relief for you all.

Not sure when I’ll go home, I’d like to head back in time for church but DSiL goes off to his cycling club and it would be nice to have some time just the two of us.

Hope everyone has a peaceful day, special thoughts to Marydoll and Ashcombe 🦩🦩🦩

hulahoop Sun 30-Oct-22 08:09:15
