Good Morning Sunday 18th December 2022

Morning Mick and all

Just getting light here in S E Essex, still chilly. I still have snow laying in the garden along with a heavy overnight frost.

grandMattie I do hope your knee is ok, Ashcombe sounds like you had a nice lunch with your friend.

I finished the gift wrapping yesterday and realised that I was three little gifts short for the GC so much as I dislike using them I ordered from Amazon who are guaranteeing pre-Christmas delivery.

Today I shall make more mince pies, some I will cook the rest I will freeze ready for baking. Then I have a mountain of mini parsnips to peel and parboil ready for freezing. Not sure what is for dinner, it may be a takeaway.

Have a peaceful Sunday folks 🙋‍♀️🎄🤶🎁❄️

Good morning, s somerset is wet and will be very wet for days with yellow warnings

I managed to sort the whine in the pipes to and fro my upstairs rads, the whine was starting to irritate. I adjusted the flow temperature up a touch, worked out that the whine was due to the return water being lacskadaisical.

I need to make plans for today and beyond, sock knitting, wardrobe sorting and sewing

Good morning from a very cold Co Durham. Minus 3 says Alexa.
Shazza I’m only about 25 miles from Stanley but at a lower altitude so it’s probably much colder up there.
Had a lovely visit from DS and BiL, it was so good they stayed an extra day. A sad/ happy day at the garden of remembrance, talking of happy memories of mum, can’t believe it’s a year since she left us.
Haven’t read posts for a couple of days, so I hope all is well with you lovely people. Have a good day.

Good morning from Shropshire.A day of rain forecast.

We had a lovely evening watching the Strictly final at DD’s.She had gone to get the takeaway and messaged to say Santa is in the village, take the children.We got them in the car and up to the village in record time and they had a lovely chat with Santa.

Today is DGD’s dance show.This will be her first time performing in a real theatre.Dress rehearsal went well and she seems more excited than nervous.There are two shows, we are going to the second one this evening.

DH’s sister fell in the ice on Friday and broke her arm.She had just gone outside to put some rubbish in the bin and slipped.Please be careful everyone.

Hope Grandmabatty and all unwell are feeling better.

Have the best day you can everyone.🎄🎅🏼

Good morning from a dark very cold Leicestershire.

Just got to check the tax return today and cook the roast beef, if I remember to take it out the freezer.

Sorry you had a fall yesterday Mattie it must be quiet in your house.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning all from South Lanarkshire. Our street is a sheet of ice.

Your fall must have shaken you gM, I’m very nervous outside at the moment.

Yesterday I did my Christmas shop so hopefully I can avoid supermarkets this week.

This morning we are meeting a cousin who is on a brief visit from Canada, we’re having brunch in a favourite deli in Glasgow’s west end after which we may have a mooch around the area.

Wishing you all a peaceful Sunday.

Good morning all from East Yorkshire.

I’m another one awake early. Things going around in my mind. Hope you have a safe journey Shazza and enjoy your meet up with friends.

Sorry about your fall on the ice GM it’s my worst fear in this weather.

I met up with DIL and GD yesterday and had a nice long chat. Then DS and GS joined us later as GS had been at a party at a nearby play centre. In the afternoon DH and I went out to buy some particular drinking glasses I’ve been looking for. Hit the jackpot at the first place we went. Hurrah! Strictly final last night. Not the result I wanted but there you go.

A few more gifts to wrap later today and I’m sure DH will watch the football.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everybody. Sunshine is forecast for today, but it's still cold.
Today I need to get on w/ wrapping the remaining presents, & perhaps do a bit of Christmas food prep. #inertia😴
I hope everyone has the best day possible, & any worries/problems lessen.

Good morning, all, from a wet Torbay.

Bad luck about the fall, grandMattie, but easily done in such weather conditions. I hope you soon have milder temperatures in your part of the world. Safe journey, ShazzaKanazza and enjoy your visit to Stanley.

Yesterday, my lockdown buddy (remember those days?!) collected me in her car and took me to her home where she served a delicious roast chicken dinner. It was such a kind gesture whilst I’m without a car (or DH!) and we enjoyed catching up on our respective news.

I’m slowly putting up the Christmas decorations and hope to do more after church. Constructing the tree is always the hardest part but that’s done now. These tasks take longer than in previous times as I still have to be careful about lifting. It’s surprising how inventive one can be!

Every blessing today. One week to go! 🦩🎅🏼⛄️🎄🦩

Good Morning Mick and everyone from Hull. I’m so pleased it’s getting milder.

grandMattie I’m sorry you’ve fallen. It shocks you when it happens. Hope your knee won’t be sore for too long. 💐

I’ve been awake since three am I’m always the same when I’m going anywhere early. We are heading up to Stanley in Co Durham for our Christmas visit with friends. We are staying overnight in Thirsk on the way back. The weather isn’t looking too promising up there for the journey and they live up a hill so hoping it’s not too icy.

Hoping everyone has a lovely Sunday. Enjoy your day of family gatherings, delicious Sunday lunches and busy Christmas preparations. 🌻🎄

Good morning from a frosty E Kent. Still dark, but then we are three days away from the winter solstice.
I had a very quiet day yesterday, especially after slipping on the ice while fetchin*the paper. I hurt my knee a little, much better this morning, but,y pride was much more injured.
I sat and knitted a shepherd while watching some mindless Christmas films.
Had a lovely chat to DD and the girls last night.
Church first thing today, then more sewing/knitting. Tomorrow, I shall pack, etc.., for my trip to Bristol on Tuesday.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩
