Good Morning Thursday 8th December 2022

Good morning all from a freezing, glittering North Leicestershire.

More online present shopping while dh does another volunteer drive. At least I'll be warm.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning from a very icy Black Country.

Thursday walk today, but I may give it a miss as I am not keen on driving in icy conditions!

Lovely Christmas buffet yesterday with Monday walking group. Far too much choice of food though.

Keep warm and safe everyone.

Good morning -3 here too in S Hampshire, very frosty. MrJ will be off to work soon after scraping the car.
Busyish day yesterday, quieter today, an upstairs clean, tweaking of grocery delivery lists and final check of Christmas presents accumulated.
Another window opened on your countdown gMattie
Have your best day if you can 🦩🦩

Didn’t proof read!🤦🏼‍♀️

Good morning all from Glasgow where it is still dark and frosty.

I had a couple of hours with DD1 and the girls before Imhad to leave for my hairdresser appointment. They stayed for another couple of hours which delighted DH, having his girls all to himself. The best medicine. L, who does my hair has been my hairdressers since he was a junior, he is now 52! Lots of blethering and catching up as he worked his usual magic without any input from me. Very pleased with the outcome but not so pleased when I returned to my car in the dark and it was covered in frost. Quick spray of de-iced, heating full blast and headed home to a welcoming chilled glass of rose.
Meeting up with DD1 for lunch and a wander around TKMaxx cue, more blethering as we enjoy a mother/daughter day.
Christmas shopping done, I will start on decorations at the weekend. It was so pretty driving home last night with views of different gardens sparkling with fairy lights covering trees and shrubs.

Best wishes to all for a pleasant day. Stay safe in these icy conditions if going out today. 🥶

Good morning everyone! Feeling quite tired, so I think I'll schedule myself a lazy day.
I agree grandMattie, the moon was v bright & clear!
Urms I love hearing snippets about the doings at yr railway station - I'd love to live that close! Btw, I'm down south.
Wishing everybody has at least 1 bright spot today, & sending a comforting hug for anyone who needs one.

Good morning all from East Yorkshire. It’s still dark but lightened by the wonderful moon.

An early start today for me as I have a train to catch. I’m off to London for the day. By coincidence the friend I met for coffee yesterday is also on the same train! She’s going with her mum for a nice lunch at the Ritz. We will share a taxi on arrival to where we need to be and she’s invited me to join them for a glass of fizz before they have lunch. It was very kind of her and I was delighted to accept. After that I am off to the theatre to see Mary Poppins. I saw it a month before the lockdowns and it was amazing. I said to myself I’d love to see it again so that’s what I’m doing before it ends in January.

There seems to be a lot of coughs around Abitbarmy the time of year I suppose.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone from a chilly North Yorkshire. You’re right GM the moon was amazing last night/this morning when I was up getting a cup of tea at 4am. Was coughing a lot and didn’t want to wake DGd sleeping beside me. Hope DH will drive her to pre-school this morning, not keen on driving in icy conditions. Will spend the rest of the day with housework and maybe writing more C.cards. Will be an early start tomorrow for shopping in York, hopefully get the last presents. Have the best day you can everyone and keep warm.

Good morning from Shropshire.

A long drive home from West Wales last night and an early start to North Wales this morning.

It was sad leaving MIL seeing a marked decline in her health since her fall five weeks ago.

Today we will take DGD to school then back to Shropshire for H’s playgroup nativity where he is a shark🤦🏼‍♀️I don’t like shepherds grandma, I don’t like kings, I will be a shark🤷‍♀️Love that boy🥰

Home after collecting DGD from school and dropping them home then a brief 24 hour hiatus before a busy week.Feel tired but blessed to have friends and family to spend time with.

Hoping all struggling with illness and worries have a better day.

Have the best day you can everyone🎅🏼🎄

Good morning, all, from a frosty Torbay. (-1deg)

Yesterday we enjoyed an engaging talk from one of our theatre members about Oberammergau. She is in her 80’s and has attended the passion plays several times in her lifetime. I had no idea that the plays originate from the days of the Plague!

Keep warm, everyone! 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning Mick and granMattie, a -3° start here on the edge of Wiltshire, the cars are well frosted in the road outside.
Yesterday I had a really good tidy up, I really do hate mess and muddle.
DDog had a very long walk with DH, she was pooped! Both of them spent much of the afternoon asleep.
Today it’s embroidery club for the first time this afternoon, just a small group, something new to go to for me, I’m looking forward to it.
I need to collect prescriptions and a Christmas wreath for the front door while I’m out, need some milk too.
Stay warm everyone x

Good morning from a clear, cold E Kent. Wasn’t the full moon something this morning? It was brighter than the street lamps. Gorgeous.
Had such a busy day yesterday that I didn’t even have time to read the paper. Was at the supermarket early, but bumper to bumper traffic for over a mile. Serves me right driving at that time of day!
Then went to the church service and talk after. As usual very, very few had any input. Do they not have an opinion, do they not want to share their experiences? It is a tiny group..
In the afternoon, I made a cake or two, printed out some recipes for DL’s Christmas present.
She follows me from room to room, like a dog, poor thing, for comfort. I do my best to cheer her up, but it is becoming really hard. She takes rather private calls in my presence, so I have to leave the room. When it is done, she then joins me where I am, and the whole pantomime restarts. I don’t know what she’ll do when I’m no longer there. Or, for that matter, what she did before coming here.
Spanish today, with a little fiesta. I shall be giving my teacher the beginning of the “Belen” (nativity scene) with the Holy family completed, but not much else. It’s a start.
May everyone start warm and safe today. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩
