Good morning Mick and everyone from a dark south Hants - I haven’t peeked outside yet to check on the weather so will assume it’s the same as Jaxjacky posted.

I hope your journey home goes well grandMattie and anyone else travelling today.

Thank goodness you spotted that in good time Ashcombe

Yesterday I really didn’t feel well - so much so that I didn’t bother getting dressed all day but slept on the sofa on and off throughout the day. Still have a slight headache but fine otherwise - which is just as well as I need to DO STUFF!
A general tidy up and a good dog walk for the pooch as he missed out yesterday. DH took him out - but because I wasn’t there AND it was raining, he refused to go further than up the road to do his business and then he hot-footed it back home!
We also plan to see 2 of the GDs to give them their presents.
Have the best day you can folks - thinking of those with worries and ailments 🦩🦩🦩
Hugs and 💐for you all x

Good morning from a wet and windy South Downs. No doubt I will get blown along with the dog when we venture out in an hour or so.

Just doing some online food shopping and finalising my NYE menu. We will then be back to normal eating and hopefully gradually lose the poundage we’ve accumulated over Christmas. I used to celebrate 12th night with a nice meal for friends, but our weight will no longer tolerate such excess, so we stop at new year now.

Podiatrist today, and pop into the flower shop for flowers to decorate the table and off- licence to buy BiL a nice whisky for his birthday on NYD.

Vegetable moussaka for this evenings meal.

Hope everyone has a splendid and restful day.

Those posts I have seen so far seem to find people in a reasonable state😄.

Good Morning everyone from Severnside. It’s raining steadily.

I had a lovely time with Beechnutella and her fella. He cooked and she sorted something out for me on my laptop. Some roadworks on my journey home yesterday. One lot I was glad I was playing follow the leader on.

I’m up earlier this morning as I have something on my mind and couldn’t get back to sleep. I’ve done my exercises and had breakfast.

Wishing you all a pleasant day, safe travels and good luck with bargains if you’re off to the sales. 🦩

Good morning from a wet and windy Torbay.

I hope all will go well, Mick, but do take care of yourself.

Yesterday, I rang Brittany Ferries regarding our next trip to France. I’d recently booked it online then, when the paperwork came through, noticed I had two cabins in each direction! Since DH and I are still speaking to each other, that seemed excessive! I also renewed my annual travel insurance which, inevitably, involved an increased premium because of my heart surgery.

Today, DD2 and family fly to Lanzarote for a short break (a consolation trip after Australia was cancelled) They've all been unwell in the past 10 days so I'm hoping some Winter sun will be just the tonic they need.

Safe journey to grandMattie and others on the move today. Coughs are so annoying, Jaxjacky, especially at night.
Happy hump day! 🦩🎅🏼🎄⛄️🦩

Good morning from Bristol where it is still dark and damp!

We had a lovely walk in Leigh woods yesterday morning before the rain set in. DGD1 and I went to get a take away falafel lunch after which I was packed off for a nap. We then player an escape-room type game, which was great fun.

I have packed and am ready for my return journey home mid morning. I hope there aren’t too many hiccups with the strikes, etc. 🤞

I hope all those in distress, sickness and anxiety have a gentle day. Carpe 🦩🦩🦩

Good morning Mick and all from a damp, windy south Hampshire, just do what you feel comfortable with Mick. I’m up early as I’ve been coughing since the early hours, annoying me and probably MrJ.
Met up with friends from Spain last night, a good old catch up. No real plans today, back to a semi normal diet after the few days of excess.
Enjoy your day all 🦩🦩
