Good morning everyone, it’s yet another stormy wet start here in Wiltshire.
Having slept very badly I’m not looking forward to having to go out this morning (taking a friend to hospital) and this afternoon (physio appointment) as well as walking DDog ☹️
Never mind, at least I can have a very early night!
Have a lovely day everyone x

Good morning from damp South Lanarkshire.

How disappointing for your D Ash, I hope they are able to find alternative flights.

Those visitors sound nightmarish Mattie.

Enjoy your day Mick.

Childminding day and as teachers are striking we will have the eldest too. I think a visit to the National Museum is on the cards, they always enjoy that.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Morning Mick, morning All from a dark, blustery corner of Somerset.

Spectacular storm yesterday evening, if this continues will be hunting the oars. Very grateful for the noisy, dusty summer 8 years ago when an artificial flood plain was created the other side of the river. Should do a grocery shop but have no desire to venture out in the horrid weather. Wait and see day I think.

Hope your trip goes smoothly grandmattie. What a disappointment for your family ash. I’m envious of your dry beginning to the day mick, Mr C is the afternoon nap specialist here.

Take care everyone. Hope Thursday is kind to us all.

“….Only champagne!!! Not got any, sorry to be such a useless hostess. I introduced myself then left them to it. They stayed an hour.…”

No words, grandMattie!

Good morning from a dark E Kent.
Ash, I’m delighted that you are now sharing a bed with your DH and sleeping better. So terribly sorry for your DD, hope something can be sorted. 🤞
I have a very early podiatrist appointment in Dover necessitating an even earlier start by train as I don’t know Dover well nor where to park.
The visitors last night…. DL said that they drank neither tea nor coffee nor herbal infusions. Only champagne!!! Not got any, sorry to be such a useless hostess. I introduced myself then left them to it. They stayed an hour.
Carpe diem one and all 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning,s somerset has another yellow warning for rain and wind. Dismal november this year

Bread is in the breadmaker, has been overnight, to save a drain on the power supply. Tomorrow I will slice and freeze it. XL wholemeal

organic veg arrive this morning. Must find a soup recipe for excess spinach, left over from last week. I store this stuff in simple vac containers and is still nice today

Other than that, mmmm must put my thinking cap on, don`t want to waste the day

Good morning from a wet and windy Torbay…… again!

A snooze after a busy morning sounds like a good plan, Mick!

My DD2, DSiL and family were looking forward to spending this Christmas fortnight with DD1 and family in Australia. Yesterday, DD2 was informed that the travel company with which they’re booked has gone into liquidation! The booking is ATOL protected but they have the worry of finding alternative flights which have to be within the school holidays because of the children and her job. I do hope something can be rearranged for them for their long awaited trip.

This morning, DH is planning an early Lidl shop, which is my routine normally as it avoids encountering too much traffic and too many shoppers! Our larger Lidl opens at 7.00 a.m., which is useful. I’m making a list….!

Hope today gives everyone a reason to smile. 🦩💐🦩🥰🦩

Good Morning Everyone,
A dark and dry start here in brackley this morning, plans to do usual shop in Bicester, want to get some aluminum trays for cooking and Wilko seems to be the place to go .
Return home and have a quiet afternoon snooze .
