Today usual day in TV, have some lunch and slowly adjust back to GMT .
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 11° and dry, although the clouds are gathering. Best wishes to Ashcombe for your operation. Marydoll thoughts are with you too.
Yesterday I was busy doing housework and I changed the duvet cover which is such a palaver. Everything is nice and clean though which is a solace to my housewife soul. A couple of chats with friends at various times was nice too.
Today I plan to do some garden tidying if the rain holds off. The back garden is looking unkempt and there are bits of moss everywhere from birds pecking it and then abandoning it. Later on, I have to go to dd's house. Dgs1 has asked me to come and see their Halloween decorations. He's very excited by the whole thing. I think I'll take a steak casserole out of the freezer for dinner. Have a good day all.

Good morning from a damp S Hants, it’s rather gloomy.
Enjoy your course Blue and fingers crossed for you getting a bed Ashcombe. Good to hear the twins are out Abitbarmy.
Gardening plans and greenhouse tidying are now delayed, it’s too wet, I’ve yesterdays paper to finish, a walk later I hope, lamb casserole for dinner.
Enjoy your day 🦩🦩

Good luck Ash 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻. Hope it all goes well.

Good morning all from Glasgow, I think it's not raining.

I just popped in to wish Ash good luck for her procedure. I'm sure you will feel a big improvement in your health.

Thank you all for your good wishes, and PMs, which gave me such a boost.
A special thanks to my good pal Kalu for her unexpected phone call, it was so good to chat. She is the only person I know, who can talk more than me! 🤣

I have been quite unwell and struggling a bit, I'm quite frustrated about it all and it's starting to get me down. I am a busy woman, always on a mission, but there have been a fair number of aborted ones recently! 😡

A heart episode at 5am or was it 4am, gave me a bit of a scare. ☹, so a day of rest, Reading the papers and watching my rubbish Turkish dramas, seems a good plan.
My gorgeous hero was blown up 😭 in yesterday's episode, how could they do this to me, when I am feeling so low? 😉
I may need to reassess what I watch.😁
On a more positive note, my Turkish language skills are definitely improving, should I ever visit Turkey! 🤣
Oh I forgot, no-one will insure me!

Unfortunately, my clinicians have run out of options, so I must suck it up and pray that things will settle down.

Have a good Sunday all, Best wishes for all, who are poorly. Grey, enjoy your new car!

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. I have tried to change the clocks but the one on the new cooker defeats me. the cooker defeats me I made an alarm go off but that was all
I am having to bus into the station today in order to buy advance train tickets and redeem the vouchers I was given after my last delayed journey. Nothing is easy is it! A 3 hour round trip but I will make a day of it.
I am so glad the babes are home where they belong Abitbarmy.

Love to Marydoll.flowers
Very best wishes to Ashcombe flowers

Have as good a day as you can everyone and make good use of your extra hour. Mine will be on the bus grin

Good morning from a damp Co Armagh
I hope you feel better soon Marydoll , you never know when Turkish could come in handy ! You are in my prayers
I’ve been duolingoing Scottish Gaelic but I’m still in 1st grade 😂

cornergran Sun 30-Oct-22 08:34:44

Good to see you maryd, keep on resting.

Be thinking of you ash, the waiting for admission time is horrid.

Wyllow3 Sun 30-Oct-22 08:35:44

Morning from a grey S Yorks. The family will get muddy, Greyduster.

There's a lovely morning service on atm - its come from a walk on Ben Nevis. Quakers then the gym today. I forgot the change of time too as I looked at the kitchen clock before the computer. I like the extra hour.

Very bests for poorlies and family poorlies, take care.

NannyJan53 Sun 30-Oct-22 08:35:53

Good morning from a slightly brighter Black Country. I woke at 8am (really 9am) which is very surprising!

Yesterday was spent doing housework, changing bed sheets etc. MrJ had bought an Electric Blanket, so put that on too, although it is so mild here we do not need it at the moment.

Over to Mums today and take her out to lunch. Then visit an ex-work colleague who lives round the corner from her.

Best wishes to Ashcombe that all goes smoothly. Glad to hear from you Marydoll here's hoping lots of rest will do the trick!

I bet you cannot wait to have a cuddle of your new twin grandbabies abitbarmy so glad they are home safe and well.

Wishing you all a good Sunday.

aggie Sun 30-Oct-22 08:37:24

Ash fingers crossed and 🙏🏼 that you have your procedure with no delays

Good morning all from sunny South Lanarkshire.

My arms and head are still throbbing from the covid and flu vaccines but paracetamol worked wonders yesterday and will do today I’m sure.

I enjoyed my day at work yesterday and was delighted when DD texted asking us to come over for dinner and to watch Strictly with her and her girls. It was just lovely being cuddled up on the sofa with all the children.

Good to see you Marydoll, hope today is easier.

Fingers crossed that there are no hiccups Ash.

No real plans today. I may make up a few more bags of Halloween treats for the guisers, I’ve done thirty five but wouldn’t like to be short. grin

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning from a wet W Kent. It should have been a busy day for us today but son's battle with Covid has put a stop to everything, so we will just relax with a casserole from the freezer.
Delighted the twins are home Abitbarmy enjoy your cuddles.
Hope the bed is available Ashcombe
Marydoll hope you feel more yourself soon.
Best wishes to all.

GrannySomerset Sun 30-Oct-22 09:07:00

This morning’s service is from the smallest of our four churches, a delightful tiny building, very much loved, so I need to get a move on. Nothing else planned but hope to talk to the family at some point.

Loving good wishes to Marydoll and Ashcombe and to the two tiny babies.

Gwenisgreat1 Sun 30-Oct-22 09:11:09

Good Morning all from grey Harrogate.
Delighted ti see your post Marydoll - maybe you could use a Turkish handyman?
Hope all goes as planned Ashcombe and you have a comfy bed!
Yesterday my trip to the. hospital was futile, I was supposed to have been referred to the respiratory clinic and the cardiologist between April and now and neither has happened! The afternoon was spent sorting this MacBook - have a bit more to sort this pm!
Maybe in Scotland you all seem to have had both flu and Covid jabs at the same time leaving a number of you feeling just not well, maybe having them a week or so apart is a better idea, as has been here?
Today I shall be viewing the church service on line, not much point in going when I just don't hear well without one of my hearing aids! Someone mentioned getting a Disabled Railcard because she has two hearing aid - I have one and DH doesn't need a railcard as long as he's with me, so that's quite a saving.
Have the best day possible folks.

Good morning Mick and all from Cloudy Chambers northwest coast.
DS arriving this afternoon to hopefully fix car windows, apart from that just pottering and reading.
Spoilt cat wakes me at all hours just for attention I think as I feed her but she’s not bothered, still love her.
Thoughts to Ashcombe and very good news Abitbarmy

dragonfly46 Sun 30-Oct-22 09:33:52

Good morning from a murky Leicestershire.

We survived our trip to DD's to pick up dog and also to get her house ready to sell. They have gone off to a conference in the US so I backed out of the house with mop in hand so it is pristine for viewings. They have already put an offer on a new house so hope it sells quickly.

Today is dog walking and recovering!

I hope your bed is available Ashcombe and the op goes well. We look forward to seeing you back here.
Good news about the twins and good to see Marydoll back - I hope you get your energy back soon.

Georgesgran Sun 30-Oct-22 09:45:26

Good morning from a damp Durham. DGS1 slept over last night, so we are debating where to go - possibly a local farm with animals and a cafe. I’ll take him home later and then see DD2 to check on her after her hospital stay with sepsis. She has appointments Mondays and Fridays at a different hospital to keep it under observation.
Pleased to hear from Marydoll and fingers crossed Ash that your admission and op goes to plan. Mixed news on GN this morning, but best wishes to all.X

Good morning everyone from a bright and dry Northampton, no rain forecast, so the towels are in the washing machine.
I tried to post yesterday morning but it must have been when the site was down and the site wasn't having it! So I gave up and didn't bother in the end.

DD turned up yesterday morning to ask whether I'd like to accompany her to her riding lesson; of course I jumped at the chance and spent a pleasant hour in the warm sunshine with a coffee at the stables. I love horses (used to ride years ago), and watching DD was lovely. She then came back here to shower and change before rugby.

It was a great match, the weather was sunny and mild, and we came away with a good win. Must record the highlights programme today, so I can see the best bits again. Had a Chinese take-away for dinner, and there is enough left over for tonight.

Nothing planned for today, so shall watch the England women's rugby world cup match which I recorded overnight, and just have a day in with the papers and my knitting.

Wishes to Ash for a successful operation, and to Marydoll, hoping she feels well again soon.

Grandmadinosaur Sun 30-Oct-22 09:52:28

Good morning from Ibiza. All checked in and heading home. There is a 20 minute delay on the flight.

We’ve had a lovely holiday. It’s been great having fun with the little ones. You forget how hard work it is though 🤣

As the best for today * Ashcombe* 💐

Will catch up with threads. As hotel wifi was useless I’m all out of data but on airport wifi now.

Grandmadinosaur Sun 30-Oct-22 09:52:49

All the best

BlueSapphire Sun 30-Oct-22 09:53:45

Here is DD ready for her lesson; her horse, Tim, was beautiful, and very good.

ixion Sun 30-Oct-22 09:57:02

Just popping in to send Ashcombe best wishes for the upcoming surgery and recuperation.

Sar53 Sun 30-Oct-22 10:02:23

I'm also popping in to wish Ashcombe all the best for her operation and recovery.
Good to see Marydoll posting, I'm sorry you have been so unwell.
Have a great day everyone.
Very wet here in Essex by the sea.

Blossoming Sun 30-Oct-22 10:04:35

Good morning Mick and everyone. It’s raining again in my corner of Lancashire.

Today I need to sort out some paperwork and shred anything no longer needed that can’t be recycled. Mr. B is busy making some Christmas items for a local charity.

I need to get back into my exercise routine. Although I have been doing essential physio exercises each day I want to build up some strength as well. I have been doing my Gaelic lessons every day as I do enjoy them.

Enjoy your cuddles with the twins abitbarmy. Hope your DH is feeling better soon Shazza.

Hope all goes well today and tomorrow Ashcombe, will be thinking of you.

Good to see you here Marydoll flowers

Thinking of all under the weather today, wishing everyone a happy Sunday whatever you’re doing. 🌻🌻

Good morning from a grey NE.
Very late this morning as I am tired.
Family did not leave until after midnight and I changed a few clocks before retiring but the ovens and microwave are still to do.
DD and SIL will visit this afternoon and we will have a roast tonight, chicken for two of us and a vegan joint for DD.
Thoughts are with Ashcombe, may everything go to plan.
Marydoll is in my thoughts too, take it easy.
Great to hear babies are home, enjoy your time with them.
