Good morning Michael and all GNs from a bright but very chilly South Yorkshire. I am still in bed. Another totally sleepless night. Dropped off about seven fifteen this morning.
I must get off my back soon or this is going to kill me! DD brought me coffee though and made me laugh out loud at her efforts to break into a packet of digestive biscuits! Sounds like I’m lucky to have any left!
Glad you had a good day out yesterday Corner.
Pitt love the photo. Mars is very close at the moment isn’t it?
Have a good day folks.

Good morning from a frosty W Kent. Off to my art group Christmas lunch today, we go to a local College who have a hospitality suite, we are served by trainees. It is done properly.
Love all the different pictures that have been posted.
Take care everyone

Good morning Mick, Annie and all from a very frosty bit of Berks.
I must let you know how pleased I am that I bought a walker last Sat. Why didn't I do it earlier? It has made walking outside so much easier and I can do more. Yesterday I had to collect an antibiotic for DH. Dropped it off at Boots and managed to walk to the lovely little repair shop, where I left my iPhone battery to be replaced. By the time I got back to Boots, 30 mins later, no pharmacist, as promised. Said would be another 15 mins. The staff and service in there is appalling lately. They just don't seem to bother.
DH is still in bed. Unheard of for him, he must be feeling bad.
I want to make some Mamade this morning, then later the plumber is coming to fix a drippy toilet cistern.
Marydoll, here's hoping that you get you meds sorted out.
Best wishes to the poorly ones , but have as good a day as you all can.

Good morning Mick and everyone. It’s chilly and dry in this corner of Lancashire, currently -4°C.

Christmas presents are all sorted, still some cards to finish writing. I must crack on with those and finish today. Tomorrow I have an early start as I have an ophthalmology appointment first thing tomorrow.

Have a good day all 🌹

Good morning Mick and all from a frosty northwest coast.
Arrived at Euston yesterday to chaos, all west coast trains cancelled. Then promised trains delayed and big scramble for the next. Dropped off to sleep on train and woke with a start to my snoring noises😁. Got home tired after 7 to a freezing house.
My shared cat with neighbours hasn’t appeared so looking forward to seeing her. Four days away.
Must get going but feeling fatigued after all the walking etc on trip.
Nice photos today and as always, thoughts to anyone with worries on their mind.

A late good morning from Essex by the sea. Very frosty but the sun is shining and the sea is sparkling.

DH has gone shopping on his own, almost unheard of but I presume he has gone to buy me something for Christmas.

Food shopping later when he returns with the car.

I love all the pictures this morning, so bright and cheerful.

Have a lovely day everyone and try and keep warm and safe xxx

today my DH is delighted - I have a dose of laryngitis!! - and lack of sleep!. Mind you I'm getting through my book like a house of fire. Jeffrey Archers "Only Time Will Tell'. I have read his stories before and like them. This week has just been soooo busy. Tuesday art club in the morning, ladies church club In the afternoon from which DD picked me up from s I could look after DGD for a couple of hours. Yesterday it was DGDs nativity at 9.30 am!! We picked up DD2 who was coming as well. Afterwards had a look round Harrogate's Main Street Xmas Market (think there's another one possibly in Valley Gardens). DGSs nativity was in the afternoon, but relations weren't invited (good and bad). I've been struggling with Xmas letters which DH plays no part in - he plays no part in Christmas, it just happens around him. I was supposed to be going out this am but just don't feel up to it, so will, plod on with my cards and letters.
Love the pictures you've been posting. Will maybe finish reading your posts.
Have the best day possible folks!

The one in E…K Marydoll. Everything crossed your meds arrive before Sunday. 🤞😘. I am so angry at such incompetence from the very people who are responsible for your well being. 😡

I too am hoping for another catch up next year Grammaretto
If possible, see you then.

Time to defrost my car and get going.

Lovely pictures here today. I also like to dress up my fireplace Bluesapphire yours looks wonderful. I have a photo of mine from a couple of years ago that’s on my I pad that I’ll put up tomorrow. I’ve put one on that was taken 2 years ago at a garden centre. I’d put it on fb and people thought it was my own work. As if 🤣

Oh dear don’t know where the first picture came from 😬 please ignore.
