Good Morning Tuesday 27th December 2022

Hello everyone. Very late posting but got up later than usual and then got carried away doing a few household chores. Had lunch now so just perusing this thread. So pleased to hear that the poorly GC are beginning to improve.
Marydoll I hope you feel better today than yesterday.
💐 sunshinesally - a dreadful shock for your family.
The weather has now turned drizzly and feels very cold, so I think I will be keeping the sofa good company.

GrannyGravy I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one who had a mince pie for breakfast! That’s made me feel heaps better!😄

Sorry to hear such sad news sunshinesally condolences to all the family 💐

Morning all (just)

I didn’t wake up until 9am this morning which is unlike me, I do not sleep well as a norm.

DH provided tea in bed, where I stayed and completed the daily (free) puzzle on my iPad, after showering and dressing I have just come downstairs and had a breakfast of two mince pies and a latte (it would be a shame to waste them 🤣)

Eldest son is going to his brothers later and they are off out to dinner, I shall make a curry with the Turkey some for this evening for us two and freeze the rest.

Sorry to hear MaryDoll is not having a good day, sending (((hugs))) Good to ,earn that the GC are on the mend.

Have a good day folks 🙋‍♀️🦩

Good morning (just about) from a sunny W Kent. Rather late this morning as the two elderly gents in the house decided a walk would be good for us, it probably was. The two days seeing the family and face timing DD north of the border was enjoyed by all. Slightly worried but touched by DGDs asking me if I was alright, I think I might have been reeling around a bit trying hard not to trip over presents and cats!
Glad to hear of those are feeling better and thinking of those who are still struggling on. Take care

It's a wet morning here in West York's. We had a good day with Ac and gc lots of presents and food cousins don't see each other often it's good to see them playing together. A quiet day today eating left overs .Ashcombe it's good see you are doing so well .Mary doll sorry you not feeling well .It's lovely to hear little ones seem to be getting well . Have a good day everyone.

Marydoll 💐

Tamla Motown?
Did you say Tamla Motown, Kalu, or did I hear it through the grapevine?
😃

Good morning Mick and all from Cloudy Chambers Lancashire northwest coast.
DGD arrived yesterday, so more present exchanging and another turkey meal. As I reuse wrapping paper if fit for purpose, it’s coming through the roof…
DS fixed a bathroom light, DD washed her car during a hailstorm and I pootered about. In the evening old girlfriends of my daughter came round and they went on the razz, her birthday is on the 28th and she goes home tomorrow.
My sister arrives from London today, so off we go again…

Good morning from Sefton where it is damp underfoot.
We merely have some Christmas veg and cheese to polish off; the beef was excellent and didn’t over-face us.
Food? It’s inconsequential when we have such uplifting news from Susan56, cornergran, glammagran and Ashbourne. Brilliant!
Our click and collects are yet to appear though they were booked on Santa’s sleigh. Luckily they were for AC. In JL - honest that the items were N/A for three weeks - we will wholeheartedly trust henceforth.
Thinking of you all, of those in pain and struggling. If I start to name people I could miss one out and unwittingly cause offence. I do make a mental note though.
Hope everyone has the best day possible.
🌲 🥧 🌲

Marydoll, I meant to add, sorry to hear your were so unwell yesterday and I hope you recover soon. x

Urms, I discovered Easy Sixties on Spotify. A terrific collection of Tamla Motown and others of that era which took me back to my teenage years. There are a few good ‘Easy’ collections of different genres to, listen to depending on your taste/mood.

Good morning from a cloudy Oxfordshire.

So tired I slept until 9.30 if MrOops hadn’t woken me up clomping around I would probably still be asleep. Just as well he woke me up I have plenty to do.
We started going through our wardrobes yesterday afternoon, taking out as many items of Winter clothing as we could spare to send to the Ukraine, trucks leave locally every month, so we need to get organised and pack some boxes, clothing, over the counter medical supplies along with baby items are all desperately needed, MissOops is also having a rummage.
That’s my day today, sorting and packing.
Have as good a day as you can and stay warm.

Good morning all from a now rainy Glasgow which will hopefully wash away the light covering of snow here. Thankfully temperatures are rising today so fingers crossed no more frost and treacherous icy conditions.
Hello 👋 from my neck of the woods Baubles. I will be in yours tomorrow.
We had a lovely day with DD1 and the girls, at ours for their annual Boxing Day late lunch. GD2 had another chess lesson with DH, she is becoming fierce opponent for him and DD1, GD1 and I played Operation. High tension😄

Thank you for the kind offer Marydoll. Our local council set up bottled water collection points but thankfully the we had enough bottled water stored in the garage to see us through until the water came back on early evening.
The only plan for today is to watch the last two episodes of Bad Sisters at some point. C’est la vie.

Best wishes to all for a good day, whatever it may bring.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 0° and raining. Rather that than snow! Susan it's good to hear that wee B is getting home. SunshineSally ouch! I hope you don't ache too much. Marydoll I hope you feel better soon.
Yesterday was a lazy day for me and I did nothing of note. Today will be much the same. I got up very late for me and I have various things to watch on the tv. I'm looking forward to it as I have plans for the rest of the week. Gammon and red cabbage and salad for dinner. Have a good day all.

Good morning everyone from a sort of sunny day in south Hants … though the weather may change.
I’m having an empty day today … I’m so tired I haven’t even got dressed yet 😱. Lovely but exhausting day yesterday spent at sunshine house with AC and GC plus in-laws.
Today will be a no-cook day too … plenty of cold meats leftover plus some desserts to be used up! 😋😋
I stupidly managed to fall over on my way to our Christmas lunch at our local pub and hurt both hands and knees - no alcohol had passed my lips either!! They are all still achey today - didn’t stop me from eating my lunch though 😂.
We had some sad news late yesterday- DH’s cousin had died on Xmas Day … she’d had late stage pancreatic cancer and had kept that to herself. So so sad and such a horrible disease 😥. We both feel quite shocked by the news…

Have the best day you can - thoughts to those finding life difficult 🦩🦩🦩. Hugs and 💐 for you all x

Urms Boom radio is very good. Only downside, there are adverts!

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

No Matt - he must be on his jollies.

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s wet and Alexa tells me it’s 3°C at present rising to 9°C later with showers.

42 years ago today I was on the delivery suite! Must pop over to see our daughter in a couple of hours then they are all off to see a Christmas ice show. Other than that we have no plans at all today. Lovely.

I was reading the ‘Saga’ magazine yesterday (I know!) and there was a snippet mentioned about a fairly new radio station called BOOM Radio. ‘Easy listening’ from the 20th century. Dean Martin, Simply Red etc so I’m going to ask Alexa to play it for a day or two and see if I like it.

Enjoy Tuesday all who can. x

Good Morning from Hull.
I love this getting back to normal feeling. We’ve had a lovely sleep in.
Yesterday our friends hosted us all at their house and it was so kind of them. Lots of chat. My DGDs delighted everyone.

Today the decorations are coming down to get ready for going away. My Christmas tree is beautiful and I wish I could leave it up. Tonight’s tea are the Christmas dinner leftovers.

It’s great to hear about poorly GC feeling much better.

Love to you all for a lovely day. Thoughts to our poorly friends and those suffering stress and worries. 🌻🎄

Good morning from a dull but ice free Black Country.

Didn't do a lot yesterday, pottered about, tidying and talking to DS and Sis in Law. Then watched a recording of The Good Liar which was on TV recently. I saw it before lockdown in cinema, but MrJ hadn't it is a good film.

Today MrJ is off to his ex's to spend time with his twin DD's who are staying there. I may go to the gym this morning, then make a curry with the left over turkey, as there is an interesting recipe in the Times.

Wishing you all a lovely day

Thank you WWM2. I am loads better, thank you, but so fed up with still not having much energy! And, I really need to buy bras that fit.

I'm so glad you are feeling normal - it's a state i aspire to!!

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders where there is snow on the rooftops but not enough to close the roads.

My DS&DBiL are driving up from the South of England today. I have hardly finished putting away the Christmas china.

The Boxing Day quiz was fun last night. To see all my DC together , if only on Zoom, is a real treat. I came last but I was by myself.

Sorry you have been so poorly Marydoll
Hope everyone has a lovely day today whatever you are doing.

kitty I meant to say that I’m so pleased to hear that you are so much better. It takes a time doesn’t it? How’s your weight?

I’ve put ALL mine back on plus😳😳, (I didn’t loose so much as you) but at last I’m feeling “normal”

Good morning from grey skies in South Yorkshire although a very red and beautiful sunrise earlier. Yesterday was a huge success with all the grandchildren and their parents here. Was really lovely.
Today DS1 and his wife are hosting lunch for us, my brother and my mother. Hoping that goes equally well. Then all back to normal tomorrow hopefully. Glad to hear all the poorly children are improving and Susan's DGS bring discharged today.
Get well soon Marydoll
Have a good day all.
