Good morning from rainy Shropshire.

We had a lovely day with DD2 and family.B is home but has open access to the ward for 72 hours.He seemed to improve as the day went on.What a week it’s been.

We’re waiting to hear from DD1 as they have had the winter bug.Hoping they are all feeling better today.

We hope to have a restful day today.Once the household jobs are done we plan a lazy afternoon.I am looking forward to starting on my Christmas books.

Safe travels to all on the move and hoping all unwell feel better as the day goes on.

Oh! Isn’t is to remember all the baby boys being slaughtered by Herod?

Good morning all from a very wet Black country.
Another who was woken by the bin men NannyJan but no rushing out of bed they were already in place.
Plans today are a trip to the bank, it's been closed for a week due to unforeseen circumstances whatever that means. I do hope they won't be closing it, whenever other branches are short staffed they use our staff and close our branch or reduce its hours.
I hope your journey home is uneventful grandMattie and safe travels anyone else on the move.
Best wishes to everyone and may you all find some 🌞.

The feast of the Holy Innocents.

This celebration appears to have its origins in an event narrated in the Bible concerning King Herod, although over the centuries it has evolved to become a fun day in which even the media usually report on some outrageous and completely invented news story.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s slightly milder at about 3º and the snow has started to melt
Safe journey today gMattie and everyone on the move today
Oh dear Shazza that sounds really painful, hope it eases soon. Happy 8th Birthday to your DGS, I hope he enjoys his special day
I didn’t do much yesterday but this morning I’m looking forward to meeting my friend for a coffee and a catch up on all her news. I might have a quick look for some bargains in the sales too. After that I’m off to the much needed hairdressers as I couldn’t get an appointment before Christmas. I should be going back to the gym but I’ll leave that until Friday I think
Well done with the driving kitty
Hope everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Morning all

Take things easy Mick your ladies here need you x

It’s wet and blustery here in S E Essex, I might venture out today (have been in since the 23/12) Turkey curry was made yesterday, so I shall portion and freeze it when I go downstairs.

Not sure if eldest son is going home today, nooubt he will let us know this morning 🤣

We have one DiL poorly and DD, they both had the virus before Christmas and have now got a rather nasty reoccurrence.

Wishing you all a pleasant Wednesday 🙋‍♀️🦩

MawtheMerrier Wed 28-Dec-22 08:33:13

Good morning all! It is indeed Holy Innocents Day, observed annually on December28, and not just in Spain.
. The day commemorates the execution of the innocent, male children in Bethlehem as told in Matthew 2:16.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire were it is cold and grey but dry. If it stays dry I may take my leg out for a walk. I forgot to arrange to have my dustbin put on the pavement so it won’t get emptied today. Fortunately it’s not that full and I don’t generate a lot of waste these days so it will have to wait until next time.
Not a lot planned today. A couple of drawers to clear and I may make some soup. I seem to have a lot of left over vegetables. DD brought a lot of food here for Christmas but didn’t take much of it home with her!
Have the best day you can folks.

Susan56 Wed 28-Dec-22 08:36:20

Happy birthday to your grandson Shazza🥳🎂🎁

ginny Wed 28-Dec-22 08:42:16

Good morning everyone.
Not very pleasant outside, wind and rain here in N. Bucks.
Son in Law had to go to A & E on Monday evening. Good job he did as they said he would have developed full blown pneumonia if he left it any longer.
Today we have to pick up the hamper that we won in a raffle last week. They were closed yesterday .
Other than that no particular plans do I think some tidying in my craft room and some sewing.
Safe journeys to all on the move ,speedy recoveries wished for all who are poorly and a good day for everyone.

Grandmadinosaur Wed 28-Dec-22 08:51:07

Thank you Marydoll and Maw yes it’s the Feast of the Holy Innocents.

Urmstongran Wed 28-Dec-22 08:52:49

No, I wasn’t aware of Innocents Day when I’ve (very rarely to be honest) been over in Spain at this time of the year. I’m not the least bit religious but it seems incongruous that a day which used to commemorate a tragic event has been hijacked to be used for jokey purposes. Seems strange?

Oopsadaisy1 Wed 28-Dec-22 08:53:51

Good morning from a wet and blustery Oxfordshire, a normal cleaning and washing day today with a bit of ironing thrown in to cheer it all up. Not. A shopping delivery minus some essential items will be here later so MrOops will have to pop to the shops tomorrow to find the missing bits.
Save journeys to all the travellers and hope the poorly amongst us all get well soon.
Have a good day everyone.

Kalu Wed 28-Dec-22 08:58:45

Good morning all from Glasgow, damp and dreich outside but feeling slightly milder.

Back to nursing duties today as DH woke at 4.00am with D&V symptoms. Poor man, unnecessarily apologising for a slight bit of sick in the bed. I have dealt with so much worse. Fresh PJs and now settled into another bedroom where I hope he settles and has an uninterrupted sleep.

No plans for today anyway and I will just take the day as it comes.

Best wishes to all for a good day.

Good morning from a dreary very wet Essex.
Just walked little pooch and had to dry off trousers with hair dryer and also little pooch. 🐶.

We’re are off to friends in a mo - the chaps to go out for breakfast and the ladies to stay and have coffee.

Take care ❤️

Good morning all from damp South Lanarkshire.

Another busy day yesterday with ten of us for a very late lunch at a restaurant after which the visitors from France came back to our house for drinks and nibbles. They are moving on today so I am looking forward to a very quiet afternoon which might very well include the words sofa, film, and chocolate.

Thinking of all the poorly folk, may everyone find peace today.

GrannySomerset Wed 28-Dec-22 09:12:34

DD, DSiL and DGD1 arrive this afternoon so a foray to the supermarket is essential to replenish stocks. It’s a miserable morning so I am not rushing.

There still seems to be a lot of sickness around so think I might revert to a face mask in the supermarket. Too many bugs around just now for comfort. Have a good enough day, everyone.

karmalady Wed 28-Dec-22 09:22:25

Good morning, s somerset is gloomy and wet and winds are expected later

It has been silent since christmas day, not much on tv but I have been thoroughly engrossed in trying to work out a top down jumper pattern with a complicated brioche triangle. Two days later and having frogged twice, I gave up and am making a different pattern. I never expected that and had intended to do other things

The upside of all that silent concentration was the very good sleeping when I eventually got to bed

No shopping for me and a long car drive ahead to wales on saturday. I have lost track of the days of the week, as usual for this time of year

Grandmabatty Wed 28-Dec-22 09:24:50

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 4° and very grey. Susan it's good to hear that B is mending quickly.
Yesterday I had an unexpected visit from dd and the boys. It was lovely to see them.
Today I'll visit mum and then my friend and her partner. Then I'll pick up the steak pie I've ordered for New Year's Day. I was invited out tonight but I'm not going. It was a gathering of former colleagues but we really don't have anything in common anymore and some of them are quite nasty so it's a big no from me. I'll happily stay home. Have a good day all.

Nannagarra Wed 28-Dec-22 09:36:30

Good morning from Sefton where it’s fine weather for ducks.
In fact it’s perfect conditions for the Seasalt-type wellingtons bought yesterday in Sainsbury’s near Aintree Racecourse where the assistant gently addressed me as ‘Queen’. Gosh, it’s many moons since that’s happened. It reminded me of visiting DS1 at uni when ‘Me ducks’ was another term I thoroughly enjoyed.
I’m out today to buy strawberries for a trifle, something I seldom make but love to eat. To counterbalance the calories I need to rediscover my swimming mojo. Oh, heck!
The continuing good news of Susan56’s B is most uplifting. Happy birthday wishes are sent to Shazza’s DGS. 🎈 🎈 🎈
Whatever your plans, may they include a reason to smile.

Stilllearning Wed 28-Dec-22 09:51:00

Morning from calm S Lanarkshire. I came home in convoy yesterday afternoon, DD driving me in the 4x4 and SiL driving my car. The farm is high up (when they had cows it was the highest dairy farm in Scotland), and there was still a lot of snow there. They think nothing of it.

Lunch today with my sister who is down from Aberdeen so I’m looking forward to seeing her.

It’s so nice that everyone seems to have had a pleasant Christmas and poorly children are improving.

Wishing everyone the best of days🦩🦩🦩

Ouch Shazza hope fingers better for when you go on Friday. We have to go to bank where it is always busy since they shut several in surrounding areas and there are only 2 counters !! Not dressed yet so better get a move on.

Wyllow3 Wed 28-Dec-22 10:02:21

Morning from a grey S Yorks, but not too cold.

Yesterday I went to the gym hurray things back to ordinary. Sadly I'm not well enough to go to family at New Year and cancelled last night, but they were very nice and loving. I've got a List which includes somehow getting a non arriving royal Mail parcel which is a skybox which meant altering the engineer for next week,

Chaotic as they are supposed to be switching me to the new system before the engineer now. One part of Sky never knows what the other one does. One or two similar must do's in next couple of days.

Not sure if I'll make it to the gym but will tomorrow as I escape when the cleaner comes.

Please travel safe and cross fingers public transport wise and tale care all poorlies

Susan good news there re little one, your best christmas present him getting weller.

Nannagarra Wed 28-Dec-22 10:03:09

Sorry to hear that you’re still unwell and in pain harrigran. Hoping you and MrKalu feel better today.
Shazza ow!
